YORI Korean Restaurant (Covent Garden)

We went to YORI Restaurant the other evening. The food was good – not mind-blowing, but nicely done and definitely enjoyable. The place itself is quite small, so we had to wait outside for a bit before getting a table. Still, once we were seated, with the rain drizzling outside and a glass of wine in hand, the whole thing felt wonderfully cosy. It’s a lovely spot for a relaxed evening, especially if you don’t mind a bit of waiting.

Second time trying Korean food. This place is really nice, nice flavour to all the food we ordered. Not too spicy and not to bland. Drinks were nice. Only down side was service, one guy was controlling the whole floor, the time difference between our first dish to the table to last was half hour so by the time the last dish arrived we were almost done anyways. Also had to ask three times for the missing dishes. It was a Saturday night and it was full, but thats to be expected so one guy to one floor was never going to cut it.

Went here for lunch on a Sunday and loved the food as well as the service. We got soju, ramen, pork bibimbap, pork dimsums and the kimchi pancake. The ramen and dimsums were the highlight of the meal for us. I personally would not recommend the kimchi pancake and the mains had very little meat. Other than that, I loved the meal!

This location is small, so make sure you book a table in advance! This is one of my favorite spots to grab food if I’m seeing a theatre show in the area. Everything is always delicious and fresh. They were out of several options this time when we visited, from drinks to proteins, so that was the only downside.

We went to Yori with some friends from Germany and unfortunately we were left disappointed. The food was so expensive but the portions were rather small. The waiter kept coming and picking up our plates, rushing us, although there were clearly left overs on the plate. Personally will not return

Went there for dinner, had lovely food and the service was great. I had vegan bibimbap with tofu, the scallion pancake, we shared some japchae and drinks. All came to about 40£ per person. Would go again

We had such an amazing evening for my birthday here this evening Hsu and Kia were incredible changing the playlist to suit my favourite songs and constantly wishing me a happy birthday! Food was incredible! Super service will be back!

We got the Rose seafood fried udon (for 2 people) and Rose Tteokbokki both were good but had an intense flavour. Overall I liked the restaurant but the interaction with the staff is limited because you order via a QR code. The food came out fairly quickly but the main problem for me was the lack of space we were very close to the tables around us so much so it felt like we were sharing a table. Its a small place but I think maybe the spacing could be improved.
