Myung Ga Korean Restaurant

An amazing Korean BBQ spot right in the heart of central London! The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. It gets quite busy on Fridays, so I’d recommend booking in advance. The set meals are perfect for larger groups and every dish is absolutely delicious.

This place is amazing, every dish is delicious! The flavors are authentic and satisfying. I absolutely loved everything I tried!

I had a great dining experience. I ordered the kimchi pancake, banchan set, jeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork stir-fry), and Korean fried chicken. The kimchi pancake was crispy on the outside and full of flavour . The banchan set was generous, with a good variety of classic side dishes like kimchi, cucumber kimchi , and seasoned spinach, all fresh and tasty. The jeyuk bokkeum was a standout: the pork was tender, well-marinated, and had just the right amount of heat. The Korean fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Service was friendly. Overall, everything felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone craving solid Korean comfort food.

Tasty korean bbq! We tryed the wagyu grill set and it was really nice. Good amount to fill you up and the sides are very tasty as well. The staff members are friendly and they will also cook the meat for you, all you gotta do is relax and enjoy your meal.

The most outstanding Korean dining experience you can find in London. Widely regarded as the finest place to enjoy Korean cuisine in the heart of London.

The BBQ was decent and it’s great that they grill it for you. We didn’t enjoy the kimchi. it was overly sour and lacked flavor. The owner was kind and explained it’s their preferred style but it just wasn’t to our taste. Overall, an okay experience with good service.

We had dinner at Myung Ga. There are several food options to choose from. The foot is brought out to you quite quickly, and you get support to help grill your food. Then, you can take over yourself. The staff is quite friendly. The food tasted good. The kimchi pancakes were delicious! The atmosphere was ok and it was quite smelly inside as everyone grills their food.

Booked a meal for my boyfriend’s birthday, unfortunately we were put in a room out the back with a service bell to order. It took a while to order food and drinks as a result. However, the food was amazing and we had 100% gluten free (I ate here as a coeliac and had no problems).

The food was underwhelming and overpriced. Worst Korean meal I've had anywhere. Avoid at all costs.

Like other reviews mention, the service here isn't up to par. From the wait at arrival to the wait at the table, it was a good 10-15 minutes each. We even had reservations but we were stuck waiting at the door. Might be because they are short staffed from covid, but doesn't appear to be the case from other reviews. Food is ok. I would say if the three dishes we ordered, the bibim naeng myun was passable. The soon dubu was disappointing and the rice it came with was undercooked. The place might be popular due to location/convenience. It's definitely hard to find authentic Korean food in London, so I really hope this place can turn itself around. It's been around since 1990, so they must have done something right before!

A Korean restaurant that doesn't serve Ban Chan (small korean appetizers like kimchi) for free - that's a first! Also waiter is very rude. They told us that outside drinks are not allowed, which is fair. So we asked them to throw the drinks out for us. Cherry on top of the cake, they told us to go outside to throw the drinks out!!!

The food here was not worth the experience. My husband and I had finished our meal, paid, and just stepped out of the restaurant when I, a pregnant woman, had realized I really needed to use the restroom. So, I walked back in and kindly asked a man behind the counter where the restroom was. It didn't take him 2 seconds before he started to treat me rudely and tell me it was for customers only. I tried to explain, again very politely, that I had just been sitting at the table and had just paid. He said no and started to yell at me that he had other customers. I began to leave then because I wasn't going to fight him about using his restroom and he then began to follow me out and yell at me to get out! It was so crazy because not once in my life have I ever been treated so rudely for no reason. It was very disappointing.

A group of four of us came in for korean dinner. I'm surprised that this place did not give those typical small dishes before a huge meat meal. It didn't seem that we ordered alot of food, but the bill ended up being £100 and change. We started with the tteokbokki which are the stirfried rice cakes - WOW, THIS WAS SO SPICY!!!! For vegetables, we ordered haemul bokum which is panfried squid with vegetables in sour and chilli sauce. The squid was good. I think this restaurant makes vegetables better than meat. For meat, we ordered: Bulgogi (I thought it could have been marinated more), Hue gui (ox tongue in lemon juice, which I did not touch lol), and Jumul luk. And then we got three Dolsol Bibimbap. I got mine with beef and NO korean spice sauce. This was my favorite. My friends weren't satisfed with the food here, but was satisfed by the cute Korean-Chinese waiter named An.

Decent Korean but not the best Ive been to. We went for the BBQ and while it was good I thought it wasnt the best around for the price. But staff if really nice

We went here because flat iron had a two and a half hour wait and the Indian place nearby (Cinnamon soho?) also had an hour long wait. We were starving so we decided to go to the only place we could find that didn't have a wait, which was Myung Ga (usually a bad idea if a place is the only one without a wait in a busy area like soho on a Saturday night). If you have ever tried real Korean food in the US, especially LA, stay away from here!! The Korean BBQ does not taste like any type of Korean BBQ I've ever had, and I don't mean that in the good way. We also had a dolsot bibimbap, japchae and soondubu, all of which were subpar. The servers were not very friendly, and the "discretionary" tip charge was included in our bill, so not actually discretionary. All the sides are charged separately per dish, and it's soho so prices are going to be steep. Overall, I would not recommend this place if you've already had good Korean food elsewhere before.

They claim this is their LARGE Order. The waiter said there will be 2 rows of meat and small order will be 1 row of meat. When we check with the owner he changed the story said this is large order. Will never come back again. Who knows what else they lied about....

Tried the Korean BBQ and I thought it was so so. I had better. They sat us in the back and it took us a while to get our order. Service was slow. Not to mention we had to wait 40mins for a table for 3 people. Price was it's a little steep for what you get BBQ wise and it starts to add up. You have to pay extra for the lettuce and the side dishes. Nevertheless the food was good.

Very very surprised to see a yelp sticker in the window! hahah Actually, I'm very surprised the very very Korean place has been discovered at all.. Amazing BBQ(Tenderloin)~ Probably the best I've had outside of a home~ Cool service, particularly entertaining is the Korean waitress there who speaks fluent Korean but little-to-no english And this is a rare place that has got better with time~ Highly recommended!

"I stumbled across Myung Ga almost a year ago after a tiring day shopping with my mum. Not familiar with Korean food and always keen to try something new, we had an early dinner at Myung Ga. The first thing that impressed me was that the restaurant was filled with Koreans who spoke animatedly with staff in their language. I always see this as a good sign of the food's authenticity. My parents are both from the Caribbean and I would be slightly disappointed if I went to a West Indian restaurant and none of the diners were West Indian. The staff were attentive and took time to explain the dishes on the menu. We ordered Kimchi (Korea's national dish), there are many varieties but we went for the cabbage rolls with shrimp, ginger and various other seasoning. Myung Ga specialises in barbeque dishes and each table has its own barbeque in the centre where the waitress cooks your meat. We enjoyed the barbequed chicken with spicy noodles. With so many restaurant chains In the West End it is refreshing to discover an authentic restaurant with great food, reasonable prices and good service."

That night, after a concert in the St. George Church, we were looking for a place to eat. I was dreading the thought ending up in Soho again. At night the east end of Soho can get particular crowded and unpleasant. On Kingly Street, a side street to Regent Street a Korean Restaurant is hidden away. The windows are dimmed and it is not over stylish decorated. We were in for treat that night discovering this Korean, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It was the first time I was introduced to Korean. This place is specialising in BBQ on your table and other dishes such as Kimchi, Bulgogi and Bibimbap. Korean is well known for its grill, which is placed in the middle of the table, where the beef is cooked in front of you. Lots of different sauces are served with it and instead of ordering a big main course we stuck to different starters and mains to share. The grilled meat was tenderer then anything I had before, as the slices were very slim but only cooked for a couple of minutes. If I can choose from my favourite Asian food I have to say Korean and Vietnamese! If you pass this place do not hesitate and go in!

We were forced to pay 12.5% of service charge even though there were no good service with pricy food Don't want to comeback

Seriously, the WORST restaurant experience ever in my life. The waiter--a Korean lady with shoulder length hair--couldn't be more rude and aggressive towards me and my friend. We had a spicy seafood soup and kimchi jjigae. My friend who I went to the restaurant with didn't feel like eating much, so I finished his seafood soup. I felt very bloated when I was leaving the restaurant, which doesn't happen to me a lot. Within an hour or two, I had severe diarrhea and vomitting. I couldn't leave my room for the next two days because I was continuously vomitting and feeling so nautious. It's safe to say that I had never felt that ill from badly cooked food before ever in my life. My food poisoning was so bad that this is the first time I ever bothered to look up a place and write a review. I just want to let others know about this, so that they don't have the same horrible experiences like me!

I saw the comment this restaurant on Timeout Magazine. There was very very good. I tried with my friends. It was awesome. They were satisfied with BBQ, Kanpunggi(sweet and sour style but a little bit spicy, No.44) My friend told me he will come back with his girlfriend. The staff was attentive a lot as well.

Food ordered just after 9:30 pm delivery promised by 9:50 ish (via UberEats). Not sure what happened, but some guy/gal/Sly fox apparently got to enjoy some really tasty Jeyuk Bokum and Kimchib Jeon. Hope they're not Orthodox Jewish or Muslim though! TL;DR - Food from here is great (if a little expensive. That's forgivable since it's central London). Of course that's no use if it doesn't arrive!!

Myung Ga is mediocre at best. I was craving Korean food so we decided to go here. We ordered a seafood pancake, the beef brisket and galbi BBQ, and a pot of seafood soondubu. Maybe I just have high standards for Korean food, but everything tasted a little off. The beef brisket was not sliced paper thin as it's supposed to be, and the galbi was sour instead of sweet. Also, the seafood soondubu was not spicy at all. And we had to pay 7.5 pounds for lettuce wraps with green onion, peppers, and garlic? For two people, this came out to 60 pounds. We only ordered one beer. A little pricey? I think so.

A pretty good hit for the first Korean place I've tried in London. HIGHLY highly highly recommend the bulgogi and the transparent noodles with vegetables. The seafood pancake was pretty good as well, although slightly bland. Price is legit for this city, about 20 pound ish per person with starters and drinks. If you do opt for the BBQ, give yourself a mental note not to wear your nicest threads as they will smell of smoke and food for a while. Time to make nice with your local dry cleaners!

A definite yes. I give it 4 stars due to the champagne drunk by our office gathering which may have caused an enhancement of perception by our taste buds, so now i'm unsure if it was really THAT good! But we all loved it. Bim bim bap, mushroom with sesame seeds (yummy!), squid, seafood/kimchi pancakes and the list goes on - were all delicious. Service was good, the waitress even advised me against the bbq'd squid towards the chilli squid which was absolutely delicious. Not dirt cheap, but decently priced. One thing to note...dessert menu is very poor, but it's not the first i'm seeing this at a korean restaurant. Besides, after such good food, you probably won't want to spoil the aftertaste. I liked the big tables, gives a lot of privacy if you're coming in a group up to 4 people. Will come back with friends now!

Friendly staff, service is good..and very quick. We ordered seafood pan cake as starter and a few main dishes which included sweet n sour scallop, spicy cod fish soup and ramyun rice stick with noodles. Rice stick dish is cook on the table until the soup dry. This seem to be a popular dish that most table order it. Price is standard with 12.5 percent of service charge. Will revisit again if I fancy korean food next time.

I don't think i've ever been disappointed by a Korean BBQ, but here's a first timer here! £9.90 for FOUR slices of frozen sirloin (yes they defrozed on the grill) £7.50 for more acceptable bulgogi (and more than 4 slices) and as we didn't want a bibimbap this time, we took an egg fried rice with vegetable which was really average This meal was boring and WTF (*frozen*expensive* meat), pass on this one!

Deary me Myung Ga. My friend and I both knew this isn't the best Korean food in London (we'd both been before separately and thought it is alright...) but we were feeling lazy and didn't want to walk all the way over to Tottenham Court Road for nicer Korea-ness. It wasn't terrible (well...one dish was) but it just wasn't particularly good either, and for £60, I expect yummier dinner with slightly more polite staff. - Pajeon: This was a let-down...It had a strange, not particularly fresh aftertaste and is the worst version of this I have ever tried. Even I can make it better than that!! - Kimchi with pork: This was better, although the waitress took a while to bring our rice, so we sat looking at this dish for a while before we could eat it. - Kimchi hot pot: This was good, and huuuge. If we had ordered just this without starters, I would have probably given Myung Ga more stars!! The loos were pretty stinky. They had a sign saying you shouldn't flush anything (including loo-roll) down the toilet(!) Whaa'!? Ah well. The restaurant was full, with people coming in as we left...so all these bad yelp reviews don't seem to affect their business.

Food was absolutely amazing! I got the bulgogi meal and it came with a soup, noodles, chicken and beef. It even can with a fruit platter for dessert. Everything was great. The service was amazing too! I will return.

I am quite disappointed to find that the most of reviews about this place, Myung ga (, meaning, a popular venue) are posted by others who have not acquird the expert taste in Korean Cuisine yet. And, their food or the service don't live up to their name. Although it is conveniently located, I would advise you to pass this place if your priority is the genuine Korean taste, but if you are into the restaurant-style dining, this would fit your bill as a beginner. I advise you to try other places in Soho area, if you don't mind walking further to the East. I have had Korean foods in Korea, USA, all over Europe, and London, or New Malden in UK. But, this place is not really for the Korean foodies. I would say they add sugar and other artificial flavoring in most of their foods. Although I address the questionable taste to the owner, she flatly refused to listen, insisting that it is her mother's recipe, although she admit putting such stuff. Although I reminded her that we are talking about the restaurant business where the genuine flavor is the top priority. She disagreed. Furthermore, she commented that even the commercial marinate sauce jars one could find in an oriental grocery store has sugars and other stuff and why not in their kitchen, she asked back. I ask you to be the judge, if you could say 5 stars in the candied meat-serving restaurant and if the ingredients are revealed for a candid judgment. I cannot give any number but zero. The waiting was also rushed, amateurish, the table was not attended by one, but more than 3-4 servers at random, there was no attention but rushing to remove each plate away. That appeared vulgar. And, when I asked one server not to remove the plates as one of us is still eating, and, he removed the plate anyway, only to upset us more. When I mentioned the poor service, the waiter followed me to listen to my complaint to the boss at the counter. And the boss would not let him go away either. I can tell you this. Among Koreans, this is not the favorite place by Koreans really, in London, and you can tell from the clients sitting in the room that it was for other Asian tourists and young couples. I heard Singaporeans next to our table majorly complain about their food experience then. I felt we were being "duped." and "humiliating" would be the next word. The price is high for the quality and the quantity is almost half of what you expect. So, although it appeared $$ priced, you will end up spending 50% more money than you would expect to spend in any other Korean restaurant in W1 area. I would suggest you walk up toward toward Tottenham Court Road or Charing Cross road area to find a far better Korean restaurant than this, if you don't mind the humble setting. Or, simply try Bibigo a few blocks away for a nicer restaurant setting. This place really upset me and my partner. The worst was, our constructive complaint and suggestion was flatly dismissed by the boss lady. Good luck to them and thanks for making our dinner experience quite humiliating and unforgivable.

Amazing bibimbaps in this Kingly St spot. Forget the fancy, overpriced restaurants in Kingly Court: this is where the Koreans in London really eat - and they sit next to you. The staff mix your bibimbaps right in front of you and boy, they're spicy and delicious.

Having been spoiled by Los Angeles Korean food (a tiny step down from Seoul, in my opinion) and a Korean grandmother, I recognize the high standards I set when searching for Korean food. I read the mixed reviews and hoped to be proven wrong by Myung Ga ... sadly, it lived up to its mediocrity. The pan chan was flavorless and lacked freshness (particularly the kimchi). The kalbi was disappointing ... very thin but equally flavorless. Even the sam jan was a miss ... I found myself adding salt to nearly everything just for some flavor. The service was fine .. though I never expect much from Korean service. Food was prompt to arrive despite being a fairly busy Sunday evening. I doubt I will return as it really was a letdown ... if you are searching for great Korean food in London, I recommend Kaya (Mayfair). The food is excellent and they only use fresh, top quality ingredients. Though a bit more expensive, I assure you it is worth it

I guess this is where I start comparing to my life in Toronto which involved my discovery of Korean BBQs and countless choices of restaurants downtown and uptown for reasonable expense. Also that there was no AYCE option was a downer as I am such a pig for meat. This place is not far from the famous Carnaby street so it was only by chance I came upon it and though okay. The restaurant looks nice from the outside and does not fail to please when seated. With a good arrangements of tables and not feeling to close to the table next door. I had the beef dumpling soup which was really nice, and kind of made me expect something good of the Ganjang beef dish i ordered. However that was kind of a let down, the beef was overcooked and the sauce lacked the spiciness that I was expecting. I guess it will be a tough deal trying to find a Korean joint that meets the high standards I am used to so fingers crossed, there are loads more choices in London.

I went with my Korean friend to this place and it was all really good. The staff was friendly and we ate everything. The only thing is that they don't keep the kimchi coming. And it's expensive for Korean Food and so was everything else in London.

This place is hit and miss. Been there twice, one amazing and one average, and since the amazing one was the more recent one, we'll go with that. I feel like one of the judges on project runway who can only judge the one design on the runway.. like, this is hard! This last time we went the food was solid and so was the service. We had a few cuts of meats for the bbq and some of their dishes. The pancakes were really good, and so were two of the noodle dishes. All in all, this place is reasonably priced ( not really actually, it's somewhat pricey, but hello London) and the food is good quality and fun. Id go back.

A busy Korean restaurant in Soho, I've been here a few times and although the food is authentic, it is not a regular haunt of mine. Although the staff is friendly, the menu is extensive and the food is fresh (or well-fermented, depending on what you order), and fairly good (save for a disappointing Yook Hwe, Asadal does a much better version) I've failed to really warm to this place. It could be the large windows I've been sat next to on every visit; I generally do not like it when people walking past can eyeball my plate, or it could be that the state of the loos grossed me out - IMHO if you have a restaurant where the plumbing is about to kick its clogs, you should waste no time getting it fixed. But for anyone who can look beyond such issues, you will be in for a fairly good meal and as Myungga can get busy in the evening, it is recommended that you either book a table or be prepared to wait.

The food isn't bad, but the portions are very, very, small. Soups (the jjigae's and such) are served in iron bowls that are suited for one person at most. Our server looked surprised when we asked for four bowls so we could divvy the soup up (~half a ladle per person). The real stinger: (banchan), or sides like kimchee, seasoned seaweed, sprouts, etc. is not free. Not even kimchi. No refills. I know it's London and all, but this shocked all of us. Taste wise, not bad, but not great. A lof of what we ordered tasted slightly off, and this is coming from a person that lived in Korea for four years and in California (Korea 2) for decades. I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 because it's in London. If this place was in California or Korea, it'd probably deserve 2 stars or less. +++: The waitress cooked all of the meat for us. She was there from start to finish to make sure everything was cooked completely.

Had second dinner last night after disappointed Korean fusion restaurant. This is an authentic Korean restaurant. Unfortunately, if you want the whole experience of high end restaurant, this is not the place - like many other authentic Korean places. You need to compromise when it comes to the Korean cuisine. Hope this will change in near future.

Simply the best restaurant in London for Oriental food. I've been here lots of times, the food is always delicious and fresh. If you order from the barbeque menu, the food is cooked at the table, and you can't get much more freshly prepared than that! The kimchi is something you must try if you like hot food. I can't recommend this place enough!

First Korean restaurant I have tried in the UK, well all of Europe, and it does not compare to the Korean restaurants in NY, NJ and CA. The dinner portions are small. It appeared more like a lunch special portion. Had the dolsot bibimbap it was tasty but it came with no egg. Odd having the dish without an egg. Felt like something was missing. Oh yeah, the egg. Moving on. The side dishes were just seasoned roots, probably a EU thing. Experienced the same in the US Midwest but it as odd not getting kimchee. Not sure why they don't give it if they have. It will just end up turning sour. Just not Korean without kimchee. Moving along. The service was nice and the food was tasty. Just lacked the full Korean flair.

Outstanding Korean restaurant! I was very impressed with the food. The hot soup was very rich in flavor.

I ate here on NYE. Booked ahead but didn't really need to, though it was almost full when we left. My friend has a bit of a bulgogi fetish (it's hard work getting him to go with even one portion of galbi). I caved to his demands this time and it sounds like I did right judging by some other reviews. It was tasty. The japchae and pa-jeon was average at best. Expected better but I've been to worse Korean restaurants in London. Waitresses were friendly and attentive.

A very nice and comfortable venue. We had an appealing selection of kimchi, fried oysters, and a mixed platter of fried starters, plus some pan fried dumplings. A large pot of cold sake made it all the more appetising - this is a good combination for anyone trying out the place for the first time. Our main course consisted of thin slices of tasty marinated meat: pork, chicken, and beef - all cooked by the waiting staff on the hot plate built into the middle of our table. Lots of fun and a very enjoyable evening.

As it's location would suggest this caters more for the Regent Street cohort as opposed to the Hipster's of Soho. The service was friendly and despite having at least 4 different waiters, was somehow seamless and even entertaining at times. The food whilst not spectacular provided a welcome fix with tasty bulgogi, a nice hot and spicy dolsot bibimbap, and a very good calbi (as recommended by our waiter because he 'doesn't like vegetables'). A good lay-by if you are shopping in the area!

Overall, terrible experience. Food is not authentic coz it's too oily and salty. A waiter was very rude when my card got rejected first. It turned out to be his fault but never apologise for his rudeness before.

After frequenting it and recommending it for over ten years I'm afraid to say I will ACTIVELY DISCOURAGE people from eating at MYUNG GA Korean restaurant on Kingly St in Soho. After overcharging our group (and we're all quite good at adding up!) the manager CALLED THE POLICE when we quibbled politely about the bill. Initially they refused to remove the over-charge (which we proved we were correct about by consulting the menu), so we said we'd just not-pay the service charge (optional by law anyway). I can't stress enough how measured, sober and polite we are, this was not a 'lads night out' rowdy group by a long shot. But anyway, the manager exploded at this point (not literally unfortunately) and ran screaming and shouting to pick up the phone and dialled 999 to summon the police, actual police, blue lights, nee-naw, 'now then now then' POLICE. (They never turned up obviously as they have genuine police work to do and don't need time wasters like Myung Ga management stopping them from doing their work). Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

DISAPPOINTING & OVERPRICED! The portion of the Kalbi beef was very small, I don't feel its an acceptable price of £12/portion. The bulgogi tasted better than the Kalbi & felt like a slightly larger portion, however still overpriced for what you get in my opinion. Altogether including service charge, it came up to just shy of £50 for 2 people & we were still left hungry! Finished our meals in 15 mins, left & got some pizza..... Won't be returning.

Really bad place. I mean the service was awful every waiter was cold and unable to talk. The food wasn't any point close to good. Kimchi didn't taste like kimchi and pancake was too soft and not crispy at all. Most importantly, when we were having BBQ, the pan had strong cleaning liquid smell and the meats did taste like had been washed by soap. And my friend even got stomachache after eating them. More surprisingly, we reported to them and they even didn't apologise to us. I won't go to this place a second time.

The resturant service is quite sucks. We came there and she told us to wait for seat but it has extra seats without reserved.Also she wanted us to leave and finish before 6. Really feel angry about it! Never came here again!

Waitress was very annoyed since we wanted to look at the menu so I guess you better walk in prepared to order. The beef bimibap was okay, I kept repeating "where's the beef"!

Awful experience with expired radish pickles. Hot pot comes in 20mins without notice. Very low quality services and much overpriced foods.

Having finished work yesterday and wanting some nice Korean food me and the missus decided to go to Myung Ga, we have been before so didnt expect what happened to us yesterday...We had entered inside and were waiting to be seated at first we were given a shared table seat for two when I specifically asked for table for three (honest mistake so I didnt mind)..So i asked for a table for three and Wow the waitress asks the Manager by which time he says we can still sit there and just puts another chair on the side of the table...Best Customer Service??? Really??? I was starting to lose my patience and asked to be relocated to a free table and so we moved to the room at the back, the room was cold and I was not up with going to have a fight with the management so we picked ourselves up and left being utterly disappointed by this sort of service...I am a korean person and this was just shameful to my Partner and me but what riled me up more is that as we left the waitress had blurted something up in korean which was quite expletive and had I not understood it would've been fine but here I am writing this review in complete anger at how you can treat customers like this, if you wont give us a table just say instead of trying to fit us in with another or at least point out that you will seat us with other patrons....Be Careful who you chose to piss off in life because I am not a person to be pushed around like that!!!

I love this place. The BBQ is awesome and so is the spicy beef soup. Although it costs quite a pretty penny I'm willing to pay it now and again for this place, which is the only reason it's now 5 stars.

We didn't make a reservation, but we were willing to wait for 45 min to get a table for three. After 45 min we were still waiting so we asked when the table will be free since we saw several table weres free. Apparently they forgot about us and asked us to wait for another while. After 10 min more we finally got seated. No sweat we thought, we could finally order our dishes. The seafood pancake was a bit off than the usual ones, but it still tasted good, only we couldn't find any seafood in it despite it was supposed to a seafood pancake. I kept wondering whether they didn't make a mistake. Since another dish wasn't also wrong. We ordered thinly sliced beef for the BBQ, but instead we received the thick beef slices. But we didn't want to ruin our dinner so we kept quite about it and decided just to enjoy our meal. The other meats for the BBQ have also arrived so the waiter started to BBQ these for us. We have already noticed from the previous sliced beef that just a split second they would turn the meat over, since it was only beef than it was still okay. But the other meats as pork and chicken they would do the same. Even though everyone knows that these have to be well done. After seeing that these meat are not well done. The chicken was still raw and the pork was still bloody. We turned on the heater again to grill them a bit longer. Not a minute longer, even though seeing us grilling them again, the waiter came back and turn off the heater again. It was like they couldn't care less that the meat weren't well done, whether it was pork of chicken. It felt like they were rushing us to finish all the dishes as we set down, because more people came in to wait for a table. Overall the service was very poor and the service fee was standard in the charging bill. The prices are also higher compared to other Korean restaurants. Disappointing was also the absence of small dishes which were usually provided at the beginning, like little bowl of kimchi, sour cucumber, etc. Even though the restaurant survived since 1990, it would properly be, because it was better located than the other Korean restaurants. If you really want to eat good Korean food, you can do much better at Arang (9 Golden Square, not much further away than Myung Ga) and the prices are much more faire. And if you want to eat just Bibimbap then you can go to Bi Bim Bap (Soho) at Greek street.

The first Korean restaurant i went too! I would recommend this place to people new to Korean. their dimwit bibimbap is great, as well as the tofu jigae. The only thing I miss is my favourite kimchi jeon
