Korean by neighbourhood
4 restaurants
Korean-European Fine Dining · ££££ · Bermondsey
Start with
Daikon Tarte Tatin
The restaurant's signature dish; a savoury reinvention of the classic dessert using caramelized radish, toasted barley, and potato cream.
Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.
Korean · ££ · Vauxhall
Start with
Pa Dak (Spring Onion Fried Chicken)
The absolute benchmark here: crispy chicken doused in honey mustard sauce and topped with a small mountain of thinly sliced spring onion.
Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.
Korean / Japanese · ££ · Kennington
Start with
Yang Yum Chicken
Medium size Korean crispy fried chicken in a sticky gochichang sauce that is so decadent that 'fingers are required' and you'll need plenty of kitchen paper.
Useful signal, but still lighter than the standouts.
Korean · ££ · Southwark
Start with
Crispy Seafood Pancake
Recommended by The Infatuation as a standout starter.
Light coverage. Worth knowing, but not heavily written about.
