Seoul Tokyo

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was good. I enjoyed the beef I got as well as the appetizers. The food came relatively quickly. Only issue would be that the price on appetizer and certain dishes was a bit on the more expensive side. I would recommend this place of you want to try good Korean food with plenty of variety.

If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors in the heart of London, this place is an absolute must-visit. I ordered 5-6 dishes and there were packed with rich flavors. One thing I really loved is how they use high-quality ingredients. The portion sizes are great for sharing, so it’s perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a cozy date night. Prices are reasonable for central London, and honestly, the food is worth every penny. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Korea without leaving London, this spot is a gem.

Have come to this restaurant a few times in the past when visiting London. Never disappoints. Friendly service and tasty food. We had a tofu bibambap and a Jjiggae soup dish. Excellent flavours, good value.

The best, most delicious, and authentic Korean food we ever tasted. The best compliment to the chef!!! The service is also outstanding. Highly recommended!

I’ve been to Seoul Tokyo several times, and overall, it’s one of my favorite places for Korean food in central London. This time, my boyfriend and I came for dinner, and as usual, the food didn’t disappoint. We ordered gamjatang, half & half chicken (ganjang and snow cheese), white jjambbong, yukhwe, and a selection of kimchi. The yukhwe and white jjambbong were by far the best I’ve had among Korean restaurants in central London — truly excellent. The rest of the dishes were also delicious; I have no complaints about the food itself. However, this visit had a few frustrating moments. The rice that’s supposed to come with gamjatang was brought only at the end of the dinner because, according to staff, it “wasn’t ready” — which really disrupted the dining experience. What bothered me the most was the mix-up with the chicken order. We clearly ordered half ganjang, half snow cheese chicken (repeating it twice), but were instead served yangnyeom. When we pointed it out, the waitress didn’t apologise — instead, she started arguing with us, insisting we never asked for snow cheese. And rather than replacing the chicken, she just brought a small bowl of cheese powder. That kind of service felt dismissive and unprofessional. Customer service and communication matter just as much as the food. I also believe a Korean restaurant would benefit from having more Korean staff, both for authenticity and smoother communication with guests. I’d still be happy to return because the food is genuinely good, but if we get the same waitress again, I’d kindly request another server for our table.

I visited seoul tokyo for my birthday with my friends. i highly recommend this place. amazing with their service, hygiene, portion size and most importantly value for money. i highly recommend to try the korean bbq, its a life changing experience. we all individually had mains too but couldn’t finish it, (yes the portions were a lot!). the staff are super duper sweet and smiley even though it was a friday evening time (rush hour for food industry and that too in a central area). the ambiance was giving a korean restaurant in a city ( you will like it if you watch a lot of kdramas) . i would however recommend make reservations if planning to go during the peak hours like fri sat or sunday evening.

I was able to grab a table for one here yesterday as a walk in just before the rush started. I was expecting smaller portions so I over ordered but it’s fine because I took the rest home. I ordered a half portion of the Yangnyeom KFC (5 pieces) £7 and the cheese dalggalbi £14. I also ordered regular cabbage kimchi £2.5 and cucumber kimchi £2.5. I finished the dalggalbi and cabbage kimchi because it was lighter and the sourness and spiciness of the kimchi went well with it. I wrapped up most of the KFC to go home. The staff were really friendly and attentive. I think towards the end they were ready busy between the tables as well as the telephone calls for reservations and takeaway orders. Even though I did ask for a plastic takeaway box for the kimchi which is watery, I was given an aluminium one. It was my second time asking so I couldn’t be bothered to ask again, and yes, it did end up spilling inside the bag despite trying to wrap it up tight inside the plastic bag I was given. The chicken tasted fresh and the portions were good. I think I’ll definitely come back if I have the chance.

The soups are absolutely fantastic. Been trying to find good Korean soups in London for years!! Their Oxtail and Gamjatang are so hearty. Portions are generous too. Highly recommend and will be back. Service is good too
