This place is awesome! I've been wanting to try this pizza for a while but couldn't find it anywhere until I googled and found it. The staff here are so friendly and they even helped me to order the pizza that I wanted because they don't have that one on their menu.
Had a large group but multiple servers helped out with drink and food delivery. All food came out quickly and everything looked great. Skillets were amazing, would recommend those along with anything including homemade gravy.
My wife knows how much I like Korean Hibachi, and being relatively new to England, we have yet to find a good Korean restaurant. She found this place online and we took a lengthy train to come here for lunch. It was totally worth the travel time. Had some dolsot bulgogi bibimbap, as well as some spicy pork with rice. Fantastic. The spicy sauce was perfect in its sweet/spicy balance. Will definitely return again. Maybe tomorrow.
I went after being recommended by friends and would definitely go again. The service was very friendly if a little slow at times (only 2 waitress'), The BBQ meat was delicious. For 3 we ordered the pan fried chicken dumplings, followed by the beef medley (£30), noodles with vegetables. The meat marinades were delicious and the quality of the beef was noticeable...very tender :) Just worth noting, your clothes and hair will have a BBQ fragrance after (to be expected), so depending on your plans for after...dress accordingly ;)
Never knew there was a authentic Korean BBQ right next to Finchley Central station. Reservation not necessary needed unless you're coming in a big group. Staff are all Korean so you can tell it's good food but the service is a bit slow because they're a bit under staffed. Despite that, the food is amazing and I would definitely recommend the short beef galbi and pork neck was nice. The japche has a homely Korean taste to it and it's perfect. The bill came to around £100 for four which is really good deal in London. You do come out smelling like you've been working in the kitchen but hey ho.
Yijo has changed hands, but it is still an outstanding Korean restaurant with very authentic food. The service is really friendly and courteous as well. Yijo offers one of those in-table BBQs, which is a fun experience to try, and, much to my delight, they have Korean sushi, which I just can't find often enough. Two thumbs up for this Korean gem in the heart of Church End.
This is a totally authentic Korean restaurant which has had high standards since inception, many years ago. Well above average. A little hidden as it is off the high street, though very close to the Finchley Central southside tube exit. Well worth an exploratory visit. Once you have adjusted your palate to the unusual dishes, you will thoroughly enjoy it. The menu does go some way to helping you understand Korean food so that you can plan. If you are unfamilliar with the menu, go for one of the set menu options, and be prepared for a good feast. The Kimchee they make is so good it is a sideline and sold on to other places in London, and the owner has written & published a book on the cusine. The wine list I find a little conservative, but there is good drinking and of course most of the customers drink beer. Frequented by lots of Japanese as well as locals.
