  “Very reasonably prices and delicious Korean food. We particularly enjoyed the kimchi pankcake which was perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and soft and warm inside. Seating is quite cramped if that’s something you are concerned about (but all good for us). We went just after they opened so there was no queue :)”

  “Absolutely loved this place! The Korean food here is incredibly delicious and super authentic—it truly tastes like it’s straight from Seoul. The portions are also very generous, so you definitely get great value for your money. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Korean cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

  “Kangnam Pocha is such a comforting Korean spot in London. The food tasted really authentic and full of flavour, especially the rich beef soup and the sizzling bibimbap with perfectly cooked beef and fresh vegetables. The seafood pancake was crispy on the outside while still soft inside, and the portions were generous too. The atmosphere felt casual and cosy, like a proper Korean local restaurant rather than a trendy chain. Service was friendly and the food came out hot and quickly. Definitely a great place if you’re craving hearty Korean comfort food in London. Will be coming back again to try more dishes!”

  “Just came back from Korea and this placed cured my craving for stews - delicious Gamjatang and Korean fried chicken. Definitely recommended. But be prepared to queue if you are there after 5pm..”

  “Honestly didn’t expect to come to a Korean place and end up craving their KFC-style fried chicken 😭 We ordered their signature creamy cheese chicken rice on the hot plate and the portion was HUGE. The sizzling pan came covered with seaweed flakes, creamy sauce and melted cheese, with really tender chicken mixed into the rice. Everything got slightly crispy at the bottom from the hot plate and tasted ridiculously comforting and addictive. The Korean fried chicken was such a surprise too — somehow it had that nostalgic KFC flavour, but way crispier and lighter in a very Asian-style way. The “snow cheese” seasoning on top with a bit of spring onion was SO good. The pieces were massive as well, much bigger than regular KFC chicken. Around £7-8 for 5 huge pieces which honestly felt super worth it. We actually weren’t that hungry and only ordered a few things, but the staff were still really friendly and welcoming, no weird attitude at all. Also love that they allow outside drinks/takeaway drinks. Very casual, comforting and satisfying spot. Would definitely come back.”

  “Now I finally knew why the queue is always so long. The bibibamp is so great. And if you dare to try the sundae soup. Be sure to order the soup is sooooo delicious! So lucky we were waiting in the queue as first guest on Sunday 5:00 p.m, this restaurant has always been my pocket list, but everytime I passing through there always a lot of people waiting outside. Also I think it's very valuable for their Bento on weekday. Will give it a try some day.”

  “I’ve been quite a few times now and this place does not disappoint. Every time I have ordered at least one new item and every time it has been delicious. The service is efficient and the staff are polite and really friendly. Although there can be a wait sometimes during busy times, it is SO worth it!!!! I’d say my favourite foods to order are beef japchae, Sweet chilli Korean fried chicken and Jjambbong tang! Value for money is insanely good. If you pay with cash you also get 10% off.”

  “There’s always a queue front of the restaurant, so I’d wanted to try it for a long time. There’s lots of space inside, so even with the queue, I got a seat after about 20 minutes. The food is quite good. The bibimbap was tasty, and the fish and rice cake were great too. The team was super nice and the food was served quickly”
