“ Great food and service ! Always go back and if you never been you better go ! I would suggest calling ahead for a table it's small so get in there soon ”
“ Great food. Best KFC in town. Fast and friendly service. Never disappointed when in London. ”
“ Stopped in for a quick lunch and was seriously blown away by how delicious everything was. We shared a spicy chicken ramen and KFC with Soy. The broth and spicy chicken were amazing in the ramen, I prefer to having a gooey egg in the ramen so rating 4 stars overall. The KFC was beyond delicious and would go back just for that. I am glad we got a medium size so we had left overs to take with. ”
“ Accommodating for walk-ins and friendly staff. Korean Fried Chicken was good - recommend the Yang Nyeum flavour. One thing to note is that rice is not included with some dishes Vs other restaurants. If you're in town and fancy Korean this will fill a gap, and is a nice place to eat for dinner! ”
“ Not bad. More a 3.5 out of 4 but certainly recommended over quite a few other Korean restaurants in London. This is fairly no-frills casual place which you can probably infer from the focus on KFC. It's nice enough to sit down for a meal but don't expect to feel the desire to hang out too long. The tastes were definitely a mixed bag. The fried chicken was very good and definitely the most authentic I've had in the city so far. Kimchi jigae was not bad and will definitely give you your fix of the classic staple. However, bugolgi dumplings were clearly store-bought and tasted like they'd been in the freezer for ages - skip these because they're really weird. Fairly inexpensive. Try it if you're in the area. ”
“ This may or may not be the best Korea food I've had in London thus far! Daebak is located in Vauxhall which is not one of the places you would expect to have great food like this but this place is truly fantastic. Came for an early weekday night and the place soon became packed after we sat down. - Seafood Pajeon - This was probably the best seafood pancake I've had in a long time, I was honestly surprised at how good it was as it is pretty comparable to the ones I've had in Korea. The pancake itself was crispy on the outside doughy on the inside and it went extremely well with the slightly tangy sauce. Definitely don't sleep on this dish. - Bibimbap (Beef & Egg) - Was surprised that they gave out an accompanying miso soup with this dish but it makes sense as the bibimbap itself was on the dryer side. They didn't put any of the gochujang sauce in it, so I originally was a bit worried that there wouldn't be any flavor in this dish, but I was sorely mistaken as the dish was absolutely fantastic and even had the charred rice on the bottom. - Kimchi Jjigae - Probably my least favorite one out of the three that we ordered but still pretty good. They didn't give a ton of tofu with it which was kind of disappointing, but the flavor of the dish itself, the rich kimchi flavor, was spot on so I didn't mind so much. Overall, very solid Korean food. I'm still a bit disappointed in general that they don't give our banchans here, but the food is not bad at all and the price is very reasonable. Of course it can't be compared to the food in Bay Area and what not, but this place is truly fantastic for London and I can't wait to come back again. ”
“ I went back to eat inside and it was good. I had a beef Bibimbap which I liked with also some Pa Dak Chicken (fried chicken with honey mustard sauce) which was good and quite a generous quantity for the price. The Miso soup that you get to start with was also really good! ”
“ Pretty great Korean food in London! My friend and I were craving Korean food after a week full of bread and fish and chips and we were so happy to stumble upon this place. We both had the buddae chiggae and were pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. We are both Korean and thought that it was pretty good! The broth had a good tang to it and it came with a bowl of rice. I wish it had more of all the fixings in it, but overall, I was satisfied at the end of my meal. In addition, the staff was very kind and the food was very well priced. I would definitely come back to subside my Korean craving! ”
