Where to Eat in London This Weekend | London Restaurant Recommendations | Eater London

"Born from the void left by a beloved barbecue spot, this Korean-Chinese grill brings skewered meats and lively tableside charcoal grilling to Bethnal Green, drawing on the flavours of the Yanbian region. Diners cook or watch meats over small charcoal grills: crackling, juicy chicken wings; cumin-spiced lamb and beef cubes; garlic‑lathered squid tentacles; and pork belly parcels wrapped with enoki. An extensive menu of offal and other cuts encourages repeat visits, best enjoyed with cold bottles of beer." - Feroz Gajia

Absolutely amazing Korean food in London Zone 2 posh area. Authentic, delicious, fresh, just gorgeous! Yanji BBQ not only serves mouth-watering food but also a clean and comfortable environment. The shop owners are Korean and they made the best recommendations for my tastebuds. My friends and I, a total of 5 people had beef, lamb, pork belly with enoki mushrooms, deep fried chicken, vegetables fried noodles, all are absolutely fresh and delicious. Even though it is hot outside, the restaurant is comfortably air-conditioned, we feel good while having the skewers freshly grilled in the turning grill (actually fun to grill the skewers by ourselves). Lastly, all of us are surprised with the cold noodles- chewy Korean noodles served in cold, icy, refreshing, tasty soup with light vinegar, cucumber and radish slices. The taste is just a perfect choice for hot summer. Just can’t resist to finish the whole big bowl!

I’m a huge fan of lamb skewers, and this place was absolutely incredible. The owner prepares all the ingredients by hand every morning - even the sauces are homemade, which really surprised me. The meat is big, super tender, and doesn’t have a strong lamb smell at all. I’m so happy to have found a proper Korean-style lamb skewer spot in London. Highly, highly recommend!

Wow… this place is amazing!!! The best Galbi-tang we’ve ever had… even better than the ones my partner and I tried in Korea!! I was craving cold noodles for so long and I am so delighted to have finally found somewhere in the UK that serves them, they were so good too! The whole meal was amazing and the service was great, thank you to the owner who made it such a nice experience. I will definitely be back! 😊

An absolute flavor explosion! This Korean BBQ place delivered an unforgettable dining experience. The lamb skewers were tender and perfectly seasoned with a subtle smokiness that melted in our mouths. The beef skewers impressed with their juicy texture and rich marinade that balanced sweet and savory notes. Don't miss their grilled eggplant - caramelized to perfection with a delicious garlic-soy glaze that elevated this vegetable to star status. The cold noodles (naengmyeon) provided the perfect refreshing contrast, with their chewy texture and invigorating icy broth cutting through the rich meats beautifully. Impeccable service paired with a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere made this meal truly special. Every dish arrived sizzling fresh off the grill, showcasing their commitment to quality. An essential Seoul-style BBQ experience that we'll be craving again soon!

A cosy little spot in Shoreditch serving up BBQ skewers with a twist – automated skewers over charcoal. 🔥 Perfect for beers and casual catch ups while the grill does the work for you. Alongside the skewers, you can order some Korean classics that round out the meal nicely. Here’s what we loved: ⭐️ Lamb and beef skewers ⭐️ Seafood Pancake It’s not a fine dining experience, but if you’re in the area and fancy something fun, easy, and full of flavour, this is a solid pick.

It’s my second visit to Yanji, my favorite Place for Korean cuisine in the region. Authentic Korean food like japchae and Korean fried chicken is my all time favorite. Can’t miss the BBQ. What surprised me most is the cold noodles, very refreshing in this summer heat. High quality food, friendly staff, can’t wait for next visit.

Such an amazing family run restaurant - service was faultless and food was even better! Highlights: Skewers were well seasoned, seafood pancake was sooo yum, perfectly crispy on the outside & packed with flavour on the inside! Kimchi was 10/10 and a must order - honestly no complaints would recommend to everyone. Thank you!!
