Arang in City of London, Westminster

I didn't like the local food so I only looked for Korean restaurants. The owner guided me very kindly. They even gave us radish radish kimchi as a service. The main menu food is perfect for Korean tastes.

Really good food at a very reasonable price. The BBQ is a must try some of the best food I have had in London

Nos reunimos como un grupo de 10 para cenar en Arang la semana pasada y fue muy divertido - el personal era muy servicial y alegre, la comida era deliciosa y todos disfrutamos mucho de la experiencia - fue la primera vez para todos nosotros yendo a un restaurante coreano y ya estoy deseando ir allí de nuevo!

Food was delicious. Would come again.

My friends and I had lunch in this Korean restaurant. My booking was smooth through Whatsapp. The service crew/staff are friendly and accommodating. One of the staff even taught us how to eat the bbq in Korean way (so kind of him). The food selections are wide and do not disappoint, really tasty and the servings are generous as well. I highly recommend this restaurant 👍🏽 If you come in big groups, just make sure to reserve a table ahead since the resto might be a little busy.

First try for the Korean food. The service was good and nice staff. The portions are enough. We got the jajangmyeon with chicken which was good. But we liked the bibimbap with beef more. They came with miso soup and beansprout.

We ordered bbq meats, oxtail soup, kimchi jiggae and jajangmyeon. The bbq and oxtail soup is nice, kimchi jiggae and jajangmyeon lacked depth of flavour (only this time) unfortunately but still nice dining experience. The side dishes are really yummy, also the service is friendly, so all in all worth coming back to😋 see you again Arang Nice, reliable korean restaurant 👌🏻

First time me and my friends visited the Arang Restaurant and didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing! Can’t wait to go again and try something else from the menu. Thank you!

So kind and so delicious~ I ordered stir-fried pork and ttukbul meat. They also gave us lettuce and green onions... Maybe it's because we have a child, but they also gave us bottled water... It's the best~ We both ordered one menu each and it was plenty!

Went to Arang to celebrate my bestie’s birthday and it was, without a doubt, a lovely experience!!! the food was great. we ordered the dak twigim (fried chicken) but it was a bit meh. but the other meals we had like the japchae, halal bulgogi, halal lamb chop, sundubu jiggae and kimchi jeon were absolutely delicious!! the staff were absolutely lovely, they were accommodating and even sang happy birthday to my bestie so enthusiastically! thank you arang, definitely one of my fave korean restaurants in london!

Fue a cenar y la comida estaba bien. Pedí el bokk - eumbab y alitas de pollo. El bokkeumbab era tan malo, que era insípido y me daba comida. Las alitas de pollo y barbacoa estaba bien

Sangjoon is the best! Always! Thanks mate for the 5 star treatment every time I come with my friends. And thanks to Sarah for being so good! See you next time

The food was really really nice and the atmosphere was great. We had the Set A menu between two people and found it a challenge to finish, but it was delicious nonetheless. Sara and SJ downstairs were lovely to us, and the music they played was great! Highly recommend.

First time in a Korean BBQ restaurant. It was a nice experience. Service was great, food very good too. We had the kimchi pancake, beef noodles and beef bulgogi for the BBQ. Pancake was too oily for my taste, bulgogi was nice and noodles was my favourite. We will be back soon.

My group went without a reservation, but they prepared a table so we were able to eat. The price was reasonable. Actually, it was my first time eating Korean food after coming to the UK and not being able to afford proper meals. It was really, really delicious and the owner was very kind. It was to the point where I thought it would have been delicious even if I had eaten it in Korea rather than just imitating Korean food. The rice was packed so tightly that it was almost two bowls... ㅠㅠ Thank you so much I will definitely visit again next time!

Amazing experience delicious food and service highly recommended

Food was amazing and the staff were so helpful, would definitely go again

Amazing. While maintaining the Korean taste, the majority of customers seemed to be foreigners. I ordered soft tofu, stir-fried squid, seaweed soup, and seafood pancake, and it was very delicious. The price was very affordable as it had a lunch menu, discount, no service charge, and basic side dishes. It was delicious and noisy, like visiting a restaurant near the office during lunch time in Korea.

Very good service, the food came quickly, it was of quality and both the waiters and the manager were always very attentive

There's Halal BBQ available, which instantly makes this a 5 star place

Delicious BBQ, delicious Korean drinks, lovely servers

Best kimchi pancake in London! Marinated beef ribs bbq was also nice. Quick and attentive service. Reminder to make a reservation as they’re always fully booked during busy hours

Fantastic place, excellent staff with very good service. Definitely had a good time and would return.

Both the food and cocktails are delicious!

Very yummy food and amazing service by Sara. :)

Good food and the staff were very attentive to allergens!! Sara our service made our night! 🥰🥰

Very good food, and amazing service. We asked for recommendations, and we were not disappointed! The food came fast, and the servers were very nice and welcoming. Not much to say, except for that I will be eating here every time I’m in London

This is a “real Korean restaurant” that I have never experienced before when I go to a Korean restaurant in London. Other places were just imitating it, but they provided basic side dishes and rice and everything was delicious. I was touched to hear that he made his own kimchi. Thank you for allowing me to have a perfect day. The service was great, everyone was friendly, and it was good value for money. The dessert served after the meal was so delicate ♡ I think I'll come back again before I leave. I don't understand why the rating isn't out of 5.

One of the best Korean bbq in London

I missed Korean food during my long trip. I searched and found a place with good reviews, so I visited it. I want to eat grilled meat I ordered sirloin and seoldo~ The owner even gave me ssam vegetables and green onion slices as a service, so I felt the taste of home even more. The kimchi stew was also very delicious. The dolsot bibimbap tasted just like the one I had in Korea~~

Best Korean restaurant and the service was amazing especially KB!

The best Korean restaurant I’ve visited so far. Amazing customer service and very organised and clean. KB he was so sweet and recommended all the different combinations for the best taste. The staff was amazing very sweet. I definitely recommend this place. And there a big halal section. Thank you arang ❤️

Quick service and tasty food. Great place if you want to have a quick dinner and drinks with friends. Very cozy and nice stuff

Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed our time there. There was a bit of confusion about our reservation but they were so apologetic and gave us a free drink to make up for it. We tried the tasting menu and it was just so good. Food came out really quickly and tasted great. Service was great. Highly recommend and would personally go back!

I’m still daydreaming about this place since my visit, I wanted to give a special shout out to the staff but I lost the piece of paper they wrote their names down on! :( but one of our servers we spoke about k dramas and the actor from parasite who ate right next to where we sat; he animated the restaurant and brought the experience to life. Including everyone else that I spoke to, you elevated the whole experience for my friend and I. Thank you so much for the outstanding service and mind blowing flavourful food that tasted like it was made with love. We can’t wait to visit again soon. I highly recommend this place 💌 🌟

The staff could not have been friendlier and more attentive. What a hidden gem! Absolutely incredible food!! Will definitely be going back!

Excellent service and expansive variety of food, including plenty of Halal options. The servers were helpful, especially in checking ingredients of dishes for allergens. The bulgogi was excellent. Wish I could have more! The portions were big and suitable to share between two people. We also had the Halal beef hotpot. We struggled to finish this as there were so many delicious items to try out. From the steam layer, the beef with mushrooms was exceptional. The kimchi pancakes were beautifully seasoned and had the perfect level of crispiness. I didn’t get a chance to take pics of all the items. The drinks menu was quite limited in comparison. Overall we had a great experience and I would recommend this restaurant.

The food was delicious, a great place to go with friends !

Servers were great and helped us cook as it was our first time having korean bbq; had beef bulgogi, duck, pork & chicken Food was amazinf - turned out around £90 total

We got the bulgogi bbq with extra sides, and it was delicious.

amazing japanese food restaurant with halal options!! we ordered the special bulgogi bbq set and it tasted amazing, so much flavour. we werent really familiar with korean food but the staffs were all very friendly & helpful to show us how its done. the chef was also super friendly!! veryy recommended, worth the money 🫶🏻 (we didnt take many pics because we were too hungry and the food was that good)

one of the best korean restaurants in London! staff are always kind and welcoming whenever we eat here. moreover, the kimchi jjigae, japchae and samgyeopsal are to die for (a special mention to japchae as well 🥹🫶🏻)

I went to this Korean restaurant with my family. Food was delicious and plenty to go around. Best part of it was the top quality service from Hwajeong, Jun and JW. Very friendly, talkative and accommodating. Definitely the best customer service I’ve experienced. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant.

Me encanta visitar este restaurante coreano por la calidad de la barbacoa y el servicio al cliente sigue siendo excelente, es por eso que siempre que anhelo la barbacoa coreana vengo a comer aquí. Me encanta!

Food was great , service was fantastic. Definitely plan to go again

I can't evaluate the taste of the food in a restaurant where foreigners are the main customers, but I think Koreans' taste buds need some improvement. However, the service and friendliness of the employees were top notch, and the atmosphere was also comfortable. thank you

Great food and service particularly from Gayeon who was lovely and attentive! Would particularly recommend the kimchi pancakes and fried chicken.

Best Korean BBQ in London. Staff are so freindly and very welcoming. Food outstanding and big portions. Highly recommended.

Excelente comida, gran servicio. El menú es extenso sin ser abrumador. Hay una amplia variedad de opciones; construir su comida coreana ideal es fácil.

I enjoyed it so much that I didn't even think to take a picture. What if you think of Korean food while traveling in London? No need to worry ^^

Best korean in London without a doubt.

Absolutely amazing first time at the restaurant last night, would definitely visit again. Would like to say a special thank you to yubin for his astounding customer service was very helpful and attentive.

Bossam is only available on weekdays, so I ordered grilled pork belly. As additional side dishes, I ordered green onion green onion, cucumber cabbage, and ssam, and it was delicious as if I was in Korea. It was the first time I had grilled pork in 7 months, so I was very disappointed with the last bite... Middle Eastern airline employees, if you come to Soho, I recommend this place!

We came across this restaurant by chance. It offers Halal Korean barbecue. The meat was extremely tender. The staff was very attentive and attentive (we did not speak English). The price is affordable. We recommend.

First time going to Arang with college after work reservation table for 4 was great atmosphere, fantastic service Emily and Frank were great. We got a variety of food Tteokbokki, chicken wing-twigim, Dolsot-bibimbap, grilled beef and chicken definitely would recommend and will go again.

Koreans, please go there. It’s really delicious.

One of the best Korean restaurants I have been to. The food was amazing, the waiters were extremely attentive, and we were even offered a few sides on the house! I would highly recommend bulgogi!

My Korean partner and in-laws rate this place and you know its good because you hear the staff speaking in Korean. Authentic food and nice staff who make sure your k-bbq doesn't burn. I would recommend the sweet and sour pork (Tangsuyuk) and beef rib soup (galbitang). If you get bbq make sure to ask for whole garlic and chili to put on the grill. It goes great with your lettuce wraps! My Mexican dad still asks for the hot pot a year on from when we took him here. Our families go to for Korean places in London!

Cold noodles - should be served a lot colder but noodles were almost like warm. Stir fry was too bland. Food wasn't very authentic and over rated. Decor was weird. Staff were okay though.

Second time in Arang two years later (2022-2024) and definitely it’s still one of the best options for Korean food in London. Congratulations!

Really tasty and authentic 💯 one of the better korean places in London

Our family visited London and stayed in the Golden Square apartment. Nearby is this Korean restaurant. The food is tasty and offers a variety of choices. The large hotpot was really big, and we could not finish it with three people. If you don’t know what to order, please ask the staff, who are very helpful and friendly. It's worth a try!

Absolutely brilliant, lovely food the will fill you well, and the taste is out of this world. Not just that, its even healthy

it was so good! sara and jiwoo were so helpful and nice, made the experience amazing!

I packed it because it was full, but it was delicious! I think it would be a good idea to make a reservation!!

We came here for a Korean BBQ dinner and loved it! It was fairly busy during our visit but everyone enjoyed their food and we were especially impressed by their attentive staff since it was a first time experience for some people in our group and they were patient and understanding enough to go through some traditional, popular recommendations and options. Recommended!

Even though I went there in the evening, the ingredients were fresh and delicious

Food was great, especially the kbbq, our server Sara was really helpful and explained everything well. Would definitely visit agai

The staff is good. We had a waiter who would tell use what side vegetables and sauces went with which dip, so thumbs up to him. Portion sizes are large but they are very stingy with the meat. I ordered a relatively tasteless black bean sauce with noodles with pork and onions. The pork was almost a garnish, and it was predominantly onion... Not very nice. The beef noodles were pretty good, but again, hardly any beef. The pancakes are as shown, the size of a plate. They're thick enough too. The seafood omelette had no prawns (though I was told it did have prawns), only squid and mussels, so I didn't particularly like it. The kimchi pancake was ok though. The fried chicken is not particularly tasty either. I may have just selected the wrong items for my taste palette. The BBQ did smell nice, but is extortionate. Given how expensive this restaurant is, and how hit and miss the menu is... I would not see a reason to return here.

I think it's the best Korean restaurant in Europe. First of all, the price is cheaper than other Korean restaurants (considered reasonable considering London prices) and the taste is good compared to Korean restaurants in Korea. Highly recommend Kimchi Jeyuk In addition, the lunch special, which comes in the form of a bento, is also good and well-organized. I also had lettuce wraps, and this is the first time I realized that lettuce wraps go so well together. Thank you. I am gaining the strength to travel again. I definitely want to visit again if I come back to London in the future.

Nice staff, banchan and seollong soup

Came here for a birthday lunch at the weekend. Staff were helpful to help choose what we needed to eat and you cook the meats directly on the table which is good fun. Mains and the small sides were very tasty including the vegetable tempura. Maybe the music was a but loud?

Arang is my go to place for korean food!! The food is always amazing and the customer service is on point. The first time when we went the owner offered us a free Korean beer since my boyfriend liked it so much. It was such a great service and he always humble towards the customer. Yesterday night we went for a dinner I specifically wanted to mention Sara🥰 and Yoobin🥰 both did an amazing customer service. If anyone looking for a good and affordable korean restaurant Arang must be your first choice!!

Ok this place is good, the price isnt crazy for most dishes. But £4 for every extra side? For a little thing of kimchi or bean sprouts? When its usually free unlimited sides at most korean restaurants, in fact thats the standard in korean culture? Doesn't really make any sense, so 4 stars it is

One of the best KBBQ spots in London, great experience for a big group.

I have been there a while back. Very tasty food!

Absolutely delicious food. Very reasonable too.

Visited for lunch on a Monday and was not disappointed! They had a special lunch menu set of bento options for £11-16 pounds, served until 3pm. I had the premium spicy pork bento. The portion sizes are GIGANTIC and they are particularly generous with the meat. I had about 50% of the meat left by the end of my meal and had to pack it to take home! Meat flavouring was good, salad was fresh. Service is friendly but not particularly "attentive" as such, although the food came out fast so we didn't mind. Overall this place has excellent food and the lunch menu in particular is great value for money. Would highly recommend and can't wait to visit again!

Amazing food, attentive service and very reasonable prices

The staff were really friendly The food was also delicious You also gave me a lot of travel information. Overall it was very good

I had lunch and the bowl of rice was very generous (I think it could have been reduced a bit..) It tastes better than restaurants in Korea. It's the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to. Kindness is a bonus

I came to this Korean restaurant because I really wanted to eat Korean food. The menu was so diverse that it seemed like it had almost every menu item that comes to mind when thinking of Korean food. I was thinking about it. I ordered kimchi stew and stir-fried pork and both were successful. Even if I haven't tried the other menu items, I feel like they'll be delicious haha.

Good food but long wait so best to reserve

Soontofu jigae delivery. Looked like leftovers that someone else had not finished. No tofu chunks whatsoever. Completely unacceptable

The service was quite slow, especially the grilling. The meat were quite meh and it was a fairly crowded restaurant. Not sure whether I'll revisit. EDIT: In response to the owner, yes I do know how to use the grill, thanks for the explanation. However, once your staff threw the meat on the grill (unsure whether they are trying to grill the meat for us or not) and walk away without telling how long the meat should cook or whether they would return (which they did), the beef was already overcooked by that point. By grilling being slow, I meant the grilling service is slow, your machines functioned perfectly. I would recommend better training.

Perfect food, nice mood, little bit too pushy in terms of food service - during starter you get main course and when you are not finished, waiters ask for a bill. Rest is great.

The most expensive soju in my life

I went to have a bento lunch on a working day. The seafood was one of the few restaurants that didn't taste fishy. The waiter was very patient and attentive. I originally ordered a single dish, but then he said that there is actually such a combination. Lunchbox, a plus. The price/performance ratio is very good at this location.

Food was so good and portion sizes were decent for the price. Our server Sara helped us a lot and showed us how to eat the KBBQ. Will be coming again thank you!!

Kim hi pancakes and the beef bulgogi are amazing.

It was a restaurant run by young Koreans with honesty and sincerity. This is a Korean restaurant that I visited because I missed Korean food while traveling in Europe for a month. I had spicy stir-fried pork, kimchi stew, and green onion pancakes, and it was really delicious. They also served rice and kimchi, so it was my first time eating Korean food in a long time. I came out in a good mood and gained new energy to travel. Thank you and I hope your business prospers. It was a korean restaurant managed by young Koreans with honesty and sincerity.

Our experience at Arang Restaurant was simply delicious and memorable. We had the opportunity to taste their Korean barbecue as well as their buckwheat noodles, and we were impressed by the diversity and quality of the Korean specialties offered on the menu. The choice was difficult because everything seemed so delicious! Once our dishes were served, we were overwhelmed by the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine. Additionally, the service was fast and the staff attentive, which helped make our experience even more pleasant. We made some great memories from this meal and can't wait to return on our next trip to London. We highly recommend Arang Restaurant to all Korean food lovers looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience.

My boyfriend and I tried korean bbq for the first time here and it was a great experience! Staff were SO friendly and helpful, guiding us through the process. Food was also really yummy with big portions. Thank you Arang staff for making us feel so welcome. :)

This is Jjin. This is a welcome rain during a real drought during a long business trip to the UK. Don't worry. The boss is Korean and there are many part-time workers who are Korean.

I went twice during my 5-day trip! Really authentic restaurant All the staff are friendly and the side dishes are delicious. The table is wide, I would definitely recommend it to my friends if they are traveling to London. I ate really well!

The food here was so good, they have a good range of halal options. The price was fair compared to the portion size. I tried the beef bibimbap and halal bulgogi , it was delicious, defo would go again.

overall, good food and good portion, better than few years ago. it could become a regular spot for meals in central London if they didn't chase for payment twice while still waiting for a friend back to the table. if it's busy then would be understandable for the chase, but the fact is it was not busy at all and no queues as well, then why rushing for payment?

Good value lunchtime for a soho place

I loved it and I will definetely go back. Staff was super polite and friendly and they gave honest recommendation when I asked. Everything I tried was super yummy

We've been to a few Korean BBQ places in Soho and this has been our best experience so far. The food was great, our wait-staff were friendly, cooking our order and even recommending a refreshing side of marinated spring onion that complemented our food wonderfully. Given the portion sizes, quality, and service, the prices were comparable if not substantially better value than other places. We were made to feel very welcome and left all smiles. I imagine we were probably quite lucky though as we were there for a late-lunch/early-dinner so the restaurant was about 2/3 full on the ground level. So we can't comment on how things get when they're full and busy. Nonetheless would still recommend for sating any Korean BBQ cravings!
