Not busy on weekdays, loads of seats available. Ordered beef tartare (yukhoe), samgyubsal (BBQ pork belly) and spinach namul, all very authentically tasty. The lady serving me is lovely and very considerate 😊

The name has changed but the food is as good if not even better than I remembered when it’s still hozi :3 Budae jjigae is plentiful and warms our souls in the winter evening. Fried chicken is crispy and juicy. Seafood pancake is slightly oily but tastes nice when hot. Japchae is lovely with sesame aroma and not too sweet. The people are very family and homely. Definitely much much better than Yxri lol.

Your support means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another comforting meal! Warm regards, WooJung BBQ Holborn Team
Nice little Korean dinner with good variety of food options. We went for the dinner set as it was simply a bit difficult to choose from the menu😂 Would definitely recommend to just pick one of their set menus which allow you to try out a number of their signature dishes in one go. Overall, delicious and good value for money☺️

Ordered the pork bugolgi on rice to take away. It was a glorious mess of well-flavoured pork belly slices stir fried to perfection with onions, carrots etc. The ideal Korean comfort food for lunch!

Dear Huijun Yao, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the pork bulgogi rice — “a glorious mess” is such a fun and perfect way to describe it! We’re glad it hit the spot as a comforting and flavourful lunch. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again soon, whether for takeaway or dine-in. Warm regards, WooJung BBQ Holborn Team
Very cool place with great prices. Waitress was extremely kind and seemed genuinely happy to have many customers even though she was rushing back and forth. She was also trying to help me figure out what to order. The menu was large and varied. Interesting atmosphere eating on the second level below ground. Everyone seemed to be having a fun time. I definitely will visit again if I ever return to the UK.

We were served by Ren and she was incredible, especially with me as I had a sesame allergy and therefore couldn't eat a lot of the menu. She was very patient with me and was so friendly and welcoming. It was a delight to have her as our server and the other lady working there with her was very friendly and warm as well. The food and Korean drinks were amazing! It really felt authentic and real Korean cuisine and atmosphere. I would happily come here again. Very chill, low-key vibe food great food great drinks and great people.- Service

Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our sundae and that the sundae-guk left such a strong impression – it’s one of our favorites too! It truly means a lot to us to bring the authentic taste of Korea to London, and your kind words encourage us to keep doing just that. We’re also glad you found the service great — we’ll be sure to share your feedback with the team. We hope to see you again soon for another comforting bowl!
Love this place! Been a number of times with my boyfriend and it is by far the best Korean restaurant in London - and I've tried a fair few! It is homely, has an authentic feel, friendly service and most importantly tasty food! Would 100% recommend.
Went all the way to Holborn to try this and didn’t disappoint! Entrance isn’t along the main road but in this cute alley. Upon entrance, it was such a good vibe but there’s more at the basement! We ordered the Korean BBQ set and shared with us 5 ladies! Plus some korean chicken …More reviews

We ordered the Korean BBQ set and shared with us 5 ladies! Plus some korean chicken ofcourse!
I’d love to go back and try the hotpot and others as it is reasonably priced and many Korean locals dine in which is always lovely!- Service
