Assa (Centre Point) – Restaurant Review | Korean Class MASSIVE
food menu location busyness
Anyone who’s a fan of Korean cuisine knows that hidden behind Centre Point, next to Tottenham Court Road tube, is a small little haven for authentic and delicious Korean food.
For our first food review we went to Assa, one of the several restaurants located in this area.
Review: When thinking about where to go for a Korean meal last Saturday at 7pm, there was one area that came into our minds immediately – Centre Point.
When we arrived at Centre Point, we peeked through the windows of a couple of restaurants to see if there were any free tables, and spotting one in Assa, we quickly went in.
, 3 bowls of rice, kimchi pancakes (pajeon), rice cakes with noodles (tteokbokki), and marinated beef in sesame oil (bulgogi).
Kimchee (Holborn, London) – Restaurant Review | Korean Class ...
food busyness staff menu
The friend I was with (who is Korean) said it reminded her of restaurants and home and that the layout, décor etc seemed very traditional to restaurants in Korea.
We ended up choosing Jajang Myeon (thick noodles with pork and vegetables topped with black bean sauce) and Tang Su Yuk (battered pork with sweet and sour dip).
For the Jajang Myeon, the ingredients and vegetables all tasted very fresh, and the balance between black bean sauce and noodles was perfect.
It feels more commercial, and maybe people who’d never eaten at a Korean restaurant before may feel more comfortable eating here first rather than one of the smaller Korean restaurants – maybe they would find the menu easier to get their head around and the appearance could make it more accessible to people who could feel a little intimidated when looking through the window of one of the smaller restaurants.
For me, I love the experience of eating in one of the cosy, small Korean restaurants, but this was a fun change and there was a fun, vibrant feeling to the whole thing.
Arang – Restaurant Review | Korean Class MASSIVE
food menu reservations busyness staff
Pricing: Most set lunch menu prices around £7-8, side dishes around £2 (other prices varies accordingly) Review: This larger than expected restaurant is set in Golden Square, a great location that’s easy to get to and has lots going on around it.
You have a set lunch menu, soups, sides, casseroles, noodles, BBQ at your table and much more.
You might be a bit overwhelmed when you first open the menu as there’s so much choice, but have a good look at what’s on offer and you’ll be sure to find something that will suit everyone.
We settled for bossam (보쌈) – steamed pork with kimchi and miso soup, dumpling, kimchi, seasoned vegetables fruit with steamed rice or fried rice, kimchi bogumbap (김치복음밥) – kimchi fried rice with pork & fried egg, pickle radish with soup, and tuigim udong (튀김 우동) – noodle in seafood stock soup with deep fried prawn, vegetable.
How to construct your bossum: Take one of the cabbage leaves, and place spicy kimchi, pork, garlic and chilis (to taste), sauces (watch out how much you put on, taste them first, I went a bit crazy with them), and rice, then wrap up.
Daebak – Korean Fried Chicken – Sour Lemons – Medium
menu food
The food menu offers a good choice of starters including tempura prawns, jap chae and kimchi pancakes.
The choice is vast with rice dishes, noodles, soups and stews, KFC (Korean fried chicken) and set menus to choose from but I will confess we were there mainly for the KFC.
The fried chicken comes in three portion sizes, the small which had five good sized pieces of chicken on-the-bone together with the noodles was a good amount of food to feed two.
If you haven’t had Korean fried chicken before let me tell you how it compares to The colonels KFC.
If you fancy good Korean food I would definitely recommend a visit to Daebak.
Daebak | Restaurants in Vauxhall, London
food
Daebak opened in late 2017, just over the road from fellow Korean restaurant Jihwaja and is a worthy alternative if you don’t want a side order of karaoke with your kimchi.
Tables are tightly packed, the radio is way too loud and it doesn’t take cards for less than £10.
But prices are low, portions are large and the chefs know their way around a fryer.
The Korean classics (kimchi, glass noodles, bibimbap) are all here, along with Japanese imports in the shape of katsu curry, tempura and teriyaki.
In Korean, ‘daebak’ means ‘awesome’.

The Soho original has built up an enviable rep since opening in 1988, offering vegetarians and vegans interesting, varied food at a time when veggies were still sneered at and veganism may as well have been shamanism.
Two excellent starters kicked things off: perfectly roasted squash and spinach – given crunch by hazelnuts – came coated in a dukkah and tahini combo.
Things were going fabulously, thanks, and I was ready to give Mildred a big hug when two underwhelming mains gatecrashed the party.
Mildreds veterans will tell you just how banging the burgers are; sadly, the ‘Polish’ (beetroot, white bean and dill in a vegan brioche) only hit ‘fine’ and there was little hint of beetroot or white bean in the patty.
Similarly, four potentially big flavours in a posh, vegan take on sausage and mash (smoked tofu, fennel, apple and white bean sausages) were hard to detect.
