Yori - City of London,Westminster

We were really looking forward to checking out Yori Korean BBQ in London after a mate from Hong Kong who's living there suggested it to us. She mentioned how she kept trying to snag a table but it was always booked out, which got us pretty hyped up. Somehow, we managed to get a spot for Friday night. When we arrived, there was already a queue, and stepping inside, I couldn't help but notice the BBQ smoke hanging in the air totally prepared to leave smelling like we'd camped out in a chimney. The hostess got us seated and we quickly ordered via a QR code, impressed by how fast the soju landed on our table. But, that's about where the excitement ended. We typically gauge a Korean spot by its side dishes, but the kimchi and others just didn't hit the mark. It quickly dawned on us that our hopes were too high. The staff seemed a bit off their game and kinda swamped, probably could do with more training. Also, the vibe wasn't authentically Korean, especially noticing no Korean staff around, so our expectations for a genuine Korean dining experience kinda fizzled out. Still, hats off to the owners for their knack at drawing in the crowds every night with their top notch marketing game.

Dhaval was great. I'd never eaten Korean food so I needed help with a quick, light lunch before going to the theatre next door.

I ate Korean food once a day while traveling in London, but I went to this place trusting the reviews and was only disappointed. The servers didn't have any service mind, and I forgot the rice on the menu that included bowls of rice, so it was served late. Overall, the food was too short, and in the case of chicken, it tasted like it was made from frozen food. It's expensive in the UK, but it's expensive. I had a good meal at any Korean restaurant, but I was disappointed the whole time I ate here. Don't trust the reviews too much.

Delicious food- excellent service. Unsure of what to order and Yonzi our waiter was patient explaining the different dishes that made our experience all the better. Thank you Yonzi

Visited the restaurant today (first time visiting, and trying Korean BBQ . Amazing! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The online booking system is very easy to use (I was able to add more food as needed throughout the duration). I will definitely be returning, really great value for money. Thanks again for the great experience.
