A friend of mine recommended this place, so I visited with four other friends. They were surprised and overwhelmed by the experience. The service was spot on, and the food was top-notch, providing an experience of excellence from start to finish. Our waiter, Sampanna, was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring that every detail was perfect. He made sure the food was hot and that everything was good. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and truly exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was cozy, warm, and inviting, striking a perfect balance between modern style and comfort. If you enjoy Korean food, this is a must-visit restaurant in London's Chinatown. The prices were reasonable as well. Overall, it’s one of the best Korean restaurants in Chinatown. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely loved this place! Stumbled upon it by chance and it turned out to be such a gem. The food is incredibly authentic – just like what I had in Korea. Every dish was flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The staff were so kind shout out to Basanta and the owner’s sister who made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best Korean spots I’ve tried in a long time!! Will be coming back for sure!

I first discovered this restaurant 2 years ago when I visited London for my birthday. I was in London for 5 days and I ate there 2 nights in a row. I am now back in London for 5 days and I find myself eating here 2 nights in a row again. Least to say it’s a great little place for tasty Korean food and kind people surrounding you. Not to mention it’s been visited by famous kpop groups like ATEEZ. I will always love it here and the owners are so kind and sweet! I highly recommend!! Will always be a spot I hit up in London, Chinatown.

I recently visited Little Korea and had a fantastic meal. I ordered the egg fried rice, ban ban chicken, and a gimbap roll. Every dish was absolutely delicious! The ban ban chicken was a standout—the coating was perfectly crispy, and the flavour was spot on. The atmosphere of the eatery was cosy and inviting, and the waitress was incredibly helpful and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Little Korea is the perfect spot for anyone craving authentic Korean and Japanese comfort food. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Good god, if there was anywhere to go for Korean food, Little Korea is the place to go. Fantastic service, delicious food and great atmosphere. Ramita, who served us, was the kindest person ever from the start of our visit to the end. Thank you for making our visit feel special and would recommend!

Initially, I’m not a huge fan of Korean food but was invited to try this place out last week. My first time trying Mul Nawngmyeon! It was so refreshing and light and delicious. We also had kimchi gimbab and kimchi pancake (which I thought was oily). Total was 40 for three dishes. Overall the food was very reasonably priced and tasty. If you go around noon on a weekday, a booking is not necessary but otherwise I suggest to make a reservation to avoid queuing.

Quick and efficient service. The staff were also very nice and the owner was so sweet and friendly. The price of the food was more towards the expensive side however, the quality of the food made up for it. Overall, it was great! 10/10 would recommend
