DODAM KOREA
“Our restaurant provides the wide range of Korean food from street food to traditional food. We improvise traditional Korean cuisine into a fusion style which differs from other typical Korean restaurant menu. It would be an exciting experience to try some new flavours, at the same time able to taste the traditional cuisine.”

About DODAM KOREA
DODAM KOREA is a Korean restaurant in London, at 131-133 Central St, that reworks Korean street food and traditional dishes into a fusion style. The menu moves between street-food plates and traditional cooking, so one table can order from both. A wide hotpot section anchors the menu and includes budae jjigae. Beyond the hotpots, the kitchen prepares Korean fried chicken with a sweet and spicy sauce. Japchae, the glass noodle dish, comes in a spicy pork version.

“Excellent authentic Korean food - one of the best I’ve had in london. Everything was delicious, flavoursome and fresh. Recommend the fried chicken which was crispy and flavoured nicely, spicy pork japache, bulgogi beef bibimbap, seafood pancake and yuk-gae-jang stew. Restaurant had lots of seating and a quiet relaxed atmosphere were you can sit and chat with friends without being rushed out. Service was friendly, attentive and helpful. Will be back !!”

“I found what appeared to be a piece of glass or ceramic in the seafood pancake. This was extremely frightening and completely unacceptable. Fortunately, I did not suffer any injuries to my teeth or mouth, but the consequences could have been very serious if I had swallowed it or been cut by it. This posed a serious safety risk to customers.”

“Had a very nice hot pot. Totally over-ate, was very nice. I got the kimchi hot pot with dumplings and added a ramen. Don’t go if you don’t like k pop”

“The food here is really tasty and fresh, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are great too — very attentive and proactive. The location isn’t the most convenient, but the food and service make it worth coming. I don’t usually write reviews, but this place deserves more customers.”
- Alexander Asher
“Was taken here by friends and completely taken aback at the quality of the food. It was quiet, perhaps down to the location/decor but each dish was delicious, the value superb and the staff warm and friendly. Best fried chicken/glass noodles I’ve had in London.”

Customer Review Summary
Korean fried chicken is the dish reviewers raise most, described as crispy with little batter, and one reviewer praises the sweet and spicy version with deep fried rice cakes added. Close behind is the seafood pancake, crispy rather than greasy with rich fillings. Bulgogi, japchae with plenty of beef and soft, chewy noodles, and yuk-gae-jang stew also earn repeated mentions. Individual diners single out the budae jjigae, kimchi volcano rice and shrimp tempura. Service is called friendly and attentive, and the dining room is quiet and relaxed enough to chat without being rushed. The recurring drawbacks are small portions, which two reviewers mention, and a location a couple of diners find not very convenient. One reviewer was disappointed that the bibimbap did not come in a hot stone, and another found the food expensive for what it is, though most call the prices reasonable. One diner ordered the kimchi hot pot with dumplings, added a ramen, and ate far more than planned.
