A Korean Restaurant Named Kimchee

On one of our last nights in London, we went to another Korean restaurant. The place was called Kimchee, which I thought was pretty cute! We had a lot of the typical Korean dishes like kimchee, seafood and green onion pancake and beef bulgogi, which were all delicious (I didn't try the kimchee though). The portion sizes were small though, so Kimchee is a nice place to go with someone else so you can order several dishes and share. The food was all very good and tasted pretty authentic! They have a drink menu with a ton of special drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), but I didn't get to order anything too special, so I don't have any photos!

Asadal Korean Restaurant - Korean in England

We went to many restaurants from different cultures during our stay in London, and one was at Asadal Korean Restaurant. Korean BBQ is always a lot of fun, because you have the grill at the centre of the table and you cook your own meats! Like all Korean restaurants, there are many starter dishes that come with your meal. Usually it consists of kimchee, a spicy pickled cabbage. We also had a Jap Che, which has beef and vegetables mixed with clear noodles. We had pork and beef to cook ourselves. The meats are brought to the table raw, and either you or the staff place them on the grill. There are tongs for the raw meat and chopsticks for the cooked. The BBQ aroma from the grill makes the meats delicious! For dessert, I opted for vanilla ice cream with lychee. It wasn't worth it though. I think it was £6 for one scoop of ice cream with a few canned lychees. It was a yummy meal, but I wish we had a larger variety of dishes to try!
