Asadal in Camden

If possible I would have given zero stars. Food was’t that great and staff were downright racist. They simply denied a table initially and only gave table for 15 minutes, though there were no one waiting and plenty of tables empty! Never go there.. not worth it!This restaurant simply ruined Korean image for me…..

I visited Asadal with my boyfriend a while ago after having no luck finding somewhere to eat near Holborn Station. We got in without a booking after not waiting for long, and if you have been you'll know it's such a hidden gem and definitely worth a visit! We were helped so attentively with how we wshould eat and what tastes best with what, and weren't pressured into buying extra food or drinks like some of the reviews here say. Try if you're nearby!

Los fideos fríos, panqueques, kim chi, albóndigas, bimbimbaps son buenos. El vino de arroz coreano, que es un vino de arroz ligero, dulce y casero, es delicioso. El personal puede ser un poco gruñón y serio, pero estaban dispuestos a tomar fotos de nuestro grupo. Volveremos por los fideos fríos!

The staff was very rude and unprofessional when clearing the table. The staff just said "We are closing" and took the things on the table without even giving us any prior warning that they were closing and that we should finish up and leave.

Celebramos el cumpleaños de mi amigo aquí esta noche y estuvimos muy contentos con el restaurante. Es un refugio acogedor en el bullicioso centro de Londres, con iluminación atmosférica y amplio espacio. Sobre todo, me impresionó la comida caliente y el servicio atento. Tomé un pastel para mi amigo y el personal lo trajo tan dulcemente a la mesa y agregué una vela, justo en el momento adecuado y con tanta calidez e interés en la ocasión. También fueron muy pacientes con nosotros. Fuimos los últimos en irnos y uno de nosotros tuvo un bebé y necesitó amamantar. Mientras tanto, estaban empacando el restaurante y el personal estaba esperando para irse. A pesar de nuestra lenta marcha, no nos apuraron. ¡Gracias por hacernos tan bienvenidos!

Hay una serie de curiosidades sobre Asadal. Primero, su dirección es 227 High Holborn, pero su entrada se encuentra en un sótano cavernoso de la planta baja al que se accede por Southampton Row. En segundo lugar, existe un mundo de diferencia entre, por un lado, los precios de oferta del sótano para los almuerzos establecidos (algunos en cajas); sopas y caldos junto con arroz, kimchi (repollo) y otros lados, y las cenas de barbacoa gourmet más extravagantes por el otro. Asadal está justo bajando la calle desde mis habitaciones, así que entré para un almuerzo rápido donde me complació ver todavía en el menú la ceja que eleva el hígado de cerdo y el caldo de riñón, un cuenco hirviendo y picante domado un poco con la adición de arroz y brotes de soja. Acompañé esto con un vaso de Merlot, aunque una botella de cerveza coreana hubiera funcionado igual de bien. Estaba en una mesa grande con una joven mujer asiática que se burlaba de un plato más convencional de carne de res con arroz. El servicio fue un poco lento, especialmente cuando esperaba la factura.

Foi a primeira vez que jantamos neste restaurante! Primam pela simpatia no serviço. Pedimos sugestão de pratos e acertamos em tudo que escolhemos porque a comida é deliciosa. A cerveja coreana também é excelente! Voltaremos de certeza!

Food is sublime either the hot bowl with raw egg and beef- keep stirring or the grill at your table. This place is a hidden gem by the station, try the plum wine it’s like nothing else

The place is good and their food is good but their chefs clothes and the chefs smoking outside look extremely filthy and I hope this food isn’t like thay

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and we were seated promptly which was great. We had trouble flagging down the servers to take our order as they seemed to be running round the restaurant. Managed to order and the food came rather quickly. We got some meats to barbecue and some other side dishes. Maybe this is personal preference but Korean restaurants usually serve you some side dishes like kimchi when you order kbbq but we had none. The food was pretty great but I'm giving This restaurant a 2 star review simply because we felt like the servers were so invasive. Every server who walked past had to come fiddle with the barbecue after we've been doing it for the majority of the meal. So this was one server every 2-3 minutes, when we already told them we wanted to do the barbecuing ourselves. And they kept trying to take our plates away. I find it really annoying when servers keep trying to take plates away from the table, as if they can't wait for you to get out of their restaurant. We literally had them come up about 5 times asking to take our plates away. Why? Whats the rush? We clearly wasn't finished with dinner. Everytime we asked for something we also barely got acknowledgement from the servers. They also weren't very nice and it just didn't give us a very accommodating feel to the whole dining experience. The food was good but I don't think I would ever return just because we just wanted a peaceful dinner and the service was just awful.

This is not your typical Korean restaurant. EVERYTHING that you would normally get with your meal, side dishes and a bowl of rice, you had to pay for. I was very shocked when the waiter asked me if I wanted rice with my bbq beef. Well, what else would I eat with it??? And yes, every side dish we wanted (that usually comes with the meals in other Korean restaurants) we were charged for. Its expensive here to begin with, food was not that great, the kimchi that we ordered was terrible. Definitely not worth it your money. I'd go somewhere else for Korean food.

Ten years ago i vowed never to return to this restaurant again due to tiny stingy portion sizes and rude management staff. I was in town and craved korean food so decided to stop by again hoping things had changed. Sadly, apart from nicer staff (but still very slow service), the portion sizes are as stingy as ever. I ordered galbi soup and it came out half full only. The photo i’m posting is not half eaten- this is how it came out. Tiny portion, i’m leaving hungry. They charge for every little side dish, even things like spring onions for the bbq. If you want an authentic korean experience without having to pay for every little thing on top such as rice and kimchi, i recommend elsewhere. For the high price for mediocre food, this place is not worth it.

Had a great and informal meal. If you are having a lot of people (8 plus?) keep in mind someone will have to spend all their time cooking!

韓国の本場並に美味しく、店長さんも凄く優しい。ホルボーン駅から徒歩０分で万が一の雨でも濡れずに行けます。人気店なので週末は予約をお勧め。日本人にはアジアの味が本当に有難いです。

We had a great dining experience at Asadal. We shared the seafood pancake, the shared BBQ platter, the beef bibimbap and the Korean fried chicken. Everything tasted amazing, service was fast, and atmosphere was great too. Highly recommended, we will be visiting again soon!

准备坐地铁之前觉得饿了，又忽然想吃点辣的东西。于是到了这家，点了猪肉和五花肉拌饭，味道不差，我觉得这个口味是大众化的，非常容易接受。但是和之前在韩国餐厅吃的味道不是很一样。我觉得可能更喜欢那一种。

Fantastic Korean BBQ and side dishes, would recommend to anyone! I especially enjoyed the tteokbokki, very tasty!

Ordered a beef soup, got charged extra for beef!!!! and some other random items. The Food is mediocre. Avoid if u you are tourist.

Been there only once, it was as good as my friend recommended. Will most definitely go back. Kim Pancake was spot on.

Ordered seafood pancake, galbee tang and bimbimbab. All dishes were perfectly executed. If one yearns for some Asian comfort food, don’t hesitate paying a visit to this place next to Holborn Station.

Authentic Korean food at a wonderful family-owned restaurant. Have been dining there for years now and always manage to stop by just to eat their Korean food. Lovely atmosphere, almost always busy so be sure to book in advance to be sure. Highly recommend!

Fui aquí después de ver el menú en la puerta con algunos amigos. Después de haber estado en Corea, noté los platos que cobran extra, que es bastante grosero. Pero sugerí que los ordenemos. También pedimos algunas carnes y mi amiga se ordenó un bibimbap porque no come carne roja. También ofrecí un VIDRIO de Soju por 4, pero por alguna razón llegó la botella de 15? ! 15 por una botella de Soju podría agregar es una estafa ya que es 1. 20 una botella en Corea!

위치도 정말 좋고, 직원분들도 정말 친절하고 무엇보다 음식이 너무 맛있어요! 한식점인데 현지인들도 되게 많아서 신기했어요 ㅋㅋ 친구들과 배낭여행 하느라 정말 지쳐있어서 무엇보다 한식이 너무 그리웠는데 너무 맛있게 먹었어요ㅠㅠ 런던 떠나기 전에 한 번 더 가려고요ㅋㅋㅋ 최고최고

All the foods were really delicious and service was hood as well. I recommend this restaurant for who want to try traditional korean foods!

The food was really fresh and the jap che noodles were delicious. The service was spectacular, especially Saron, who dealt with 6 very indecisive ladies with great patience and a beautiful smile. We will definitely return!

여행 중에 먹은 음식 중에 가장 제대로 된 음식이었어요 위치도 너무 좋았고요. 너무 잘먹어서 제대로 힐링하고 갑니다ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 감사해요

I have eaten at Korean restaurants all over the world South Korea, Paris, Brussels, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and other places and this is the best! Here's why...

Amazing food witn great service. Staff very friendly. Excellent value for money. Will definitely go back.

Service was very bad and poor , staff simply not interested and perhaps over worked . Food was ok and nothing to shout about . For the price I paid , I would I have been better off at Kimchee down the road .

Avoid at all costs. I’m saying this as a Korean British. I know how expensive food can get in London. Nevertheless, this place serves the worst Korean food ever. 1 person portion bulgogi(£9.5) is the size of my palm, the texture was stringy and tasteless. I’m convinced that the meat’s been in the freezer for a very long time. Bulgogi can’t taste bad. But Asadal proves it can.

Hidden gem next to holborn...walk down the stairs to a large basement where you will be greeted by the receptionist

驚くくらいサービスが悪い。サービス料を返して欲しいレベル。店員の愛想が悪く二度と行きたくありません。Hello! Thank you!などの挨拶も一言もありませんでした。

Holborn駅すぐそばで、便利な場所にあります。お値段もお手頃で、ランチの時間は結構賑わっています。お昼の時間帯は焼き肉をしているお客さんは居なかったようで、みんなランチメニューをオーダーしています。ユッケはかなり甘い味付けのため、日本人には合わないかと。

Staffs are plain rude. There are plenty of other places who will serve the same kind of food with a better service. My advice is, try those instead. I won't be coming back here again.

He sido un cliente habitual allí debido a su excelente precio y comida. Sin embargo, el servicio es muy pobre, particularmente por el propietario. Creo que el propietario es grosero porque sabe que todavía tiene muchos clientes por venir. quién se cree que es? ¿El único chico en el mundo que nos da comida? Es solo una cuestión de tiempo antes de que los asiduos como yo se cansen de su mala educación.

I have walked out of this restaurant twice due to their horrible service. Food is better than most Korean restaurants in London, so I try to ignore their rude service. The best part is that the rude service is usually shelled out by the owner and/manager..

Si le gusta cocinar su banquete de carne en su mesa, esto es para usted, una oferta coreana para disfrutar de platos picantes, carnes y mariscos fritos o de barbacoa. Es fácil perderse la entrada en la esquina de Holborn muy ocupado, pero en la planta baja es un escape cálido y acogedor de las calles de Londres. No es barato, pero sí lo que hay en Londres, ven si disfrutas y entiendes cómo leer un menú coreano.

Se han recomendado Asadal por un par de amigos así lo intenté. Agradablemente ocupado con muchos que parecían ser coreanos nativos, lo que es una gran señal. Lamentablemente, los alimentos para barbacoa solo se sirven en la cena, pero la carne de res frita era buena con una gran porción de arroz. Los entrantes de bola de masa también eran buenos.

Kimchi and namul sets both delicious but...

Fui aquí anoche con un par de amigos. La comida era buena, pero era demasiado cara, lo que supongo que viene de tener un restaurante justo al lado de la estación Holborn (35 para la fuente de barbacoa con apenas suficiente para 1 persona). Lo que era más molesto, sin embargo, era la camarera que sentía que no éramos capaces de cocinar nuestra propia comida, por lo que comenzó a apilar todo en la barbacoa para nosotros. Esto debió haber sido porque ella no creía que pudiéramos o porque querían la mesa rápidamente (aunque estaban ocupados no estaban llenos), ya que puso casi todos los mariscos de una sola vez y no nos permitió cocinar De una manera relajada, puedes esperar de estas cosas. Puedo ver que hay varias críticas aquí que mencionan la rudeza del personal, no fueron particularmente para nosotros, solo irritantes con esto (aunque creo que algunas personas pueden pensar que esto sería grosero). De todos modos, no vendría aquí de nuevo. Echa un vistazo a Hozi a la vuelta de la esquina si estás buscando un lugar coreano localmente, o Sarang en Golders Green si puedes estirarte más lejos.

This is the worst restaurant I have tried in London. Overpriced Korean and it’s not even authentic. Owner is rude, blunt and no courtesy at all. You don’t get thank you when paid the bill. Please take your money somewhere and stop coming here.

Not recommending this place to anyone who wants to be treated with respect, very rude stuff and low-quality food.

went there for lunch as I suddenly got those kimchi/bibimbap craving... it is right next to the station and with the rather dark basement seating it was totally different from the outside world...ordered bibimbap and soju. The food was ok as the bibimbap was a bit too dry but kimchi was delicious . The service was pleasant but I just hope that they might be able to adjust the lighting in the basement to make it more inviting and , maybe a bit more appetizing? ... I don' t know y（^ヮ^）y

Dejlig mad - og aldrig prøvet koreansk før. Virkelig lækkert. Meget imødekommende og hyggeligt personale som liiige gav os ekstra info, ekstra service etc som man ikke lige finder andre steder. Rimelige priser og beliggenhed lige midt i Teater området. Restauranten ligger i kælderetagen, men tag ikke fejl.

My parents who live outside of London were in town for the evening and I decided to take them out to Asadal for a good Korean bbq.

Melhor comida coreana da vida! O atendimento é sempre excelente, todos são super simpáticos e cordiais. O Bibimpab é muito delicioso, o melhor!

Pedimos el Bento Box Lunch, y aparte de tener muy buen precio (14 libras) era una ración abundante. Estaba riquísimo.

We had a good meal at Asadal. The bibimbap was very tasty and the BBQ meats that other diners were eating looked and smelt great. The restaurant is right by Holborn tube and inside it's a nice area of calm compared to the busy streets. It was relatively busy which gave it a good atmosphere. The staff were very efficient and friendly. If you need dinner round Holborn it's a good choice.

I went with my fiancé to have a nice lunch and was looking forward to trying the food. We just happened to stumble upon this place and decided to give it a go.

Cozy Korean BBQ right under High Holborn. Nice and cozy atmosphere with great decor and a wide selection on the menu. Really great galbi and good amount of portion for the price.

It must be authentic if it is a haunt if the local Korean population right? The food was excellent, the waitresses and waiters did a great job. We had the set menu C which is recommended.

Downstairs in a well-appointed windowless room. Large portions of very tasty Korean cuisine. Excellent service. Clean. My wife chose the seafood soup. I had chicken bul go gi bibimbop. Both superb. £28 including two beers. Not bad for London.

El restaurante está en una ubicación muy conveniente, justo al lado de la estación de Holborn. El servicio es un poco lento, pero el camarero era muy agradable. El precio está en la parte alta, teniendo en cuenta la porción servida. No hay té, a diferencia de la mayoría de los otros restaurantes coreanos. Ningún lado cortesía - platos demasiado, ni siquiera kim-chi. Todo tiene que ser pagado, excepto por el agua. El postre está por debajo de las expectativas en sabor y presentación.

La comida aquí es maldita casi perfecto. Tradicionalmente coreanos, y no tenga miedo de preparar un ponche tradicional con especias, y no agua recetas para complacer a los paladares de inglés.

This is a rather dark and gloomy basement restaurant, entered down a somewhat uninviting staircase. I must have walked past it a thousand times over the years and yet never noticed it. We chose a set menu as this was easier than trying to chose from strange sounding items with equally unfamiliar names.

Este lugar está situado en frente de la estación de metro, Holborn, fácil de encontrar. Hay varios menús coreano de Bibimbap a la sopa de carne. Si estás acostumbrado a comida coreana, se podría pensar que sabe un poco más dulce poco a la media, pero normalmente la mayoría de restaurantes coreanos en el extranjero en esta manera. cocinar El precio es un poco alto, pero razonable en su mayoría. Se puede disfrutar de muchas comida coreana como el kimchi, estofado de kimchi Pancake y favorito, parillado bibimbap de ternera con salsa picante. También puedes probar con cerveza pollo estilo coreano, llamado Chi-Mak en coreano. Hay muchas mesas alrededor de 30 a 40, así que recomendaría si reunirse con amigos que están interesados en la comida coreana. Una cosa que me decepcionó fue el sabor de Kimchi que no era familiar conmigo. En mi opinión estaba un poco lejos de la coreana Kimchi. Así que si estás coreano, no se podía satisfacer con el sabor. Pero aparte de coreano, vale la pena probar.

Gran cena de barbacoa con la familia. Nuestro kimchi chigae era un poco decepcionante, pero el menú de barbacoa bibimbap (con un ajo y caliente pimientos) más que compensó por esto. El restaurante está en la planta baja y puede ser difícil encontrar en la calle (mi hijo pasado la entrada dos veces).

I found the food just okay and the service lacking. I noticed other tables enjoyed much friendlier and attentive service. Perhaps because I was dining alone, I was viewed as a low priority. But, my drink was forgotten, and my meat was left abandoned to overcook on the grill. I had to flag down a random server to avert BBQ crisps! I was not totally full but didn't want to spend anymore money. As it was, my bill came to $41.39. Fool me once...never again.

Asadal sótano es un restaurante encantador casi junto a la estación de Holborn (entrada principal en Kingsway). Sirve auténticos platos coreanos en vastas porciones, así que la mejor cosa a hacer es pedir un plato cada uno y compartir. El primer plato de tortitas crujientes fue excelente y hemos seguido este con una selección de platos de carne y marisco, carne, pollo, calamares y carne y todos vermicelli con verduras y deliciosas salsas. Hay una buena variedad de platos, algunos de los cuales pueden ser cocinados en la mesa donde el centro se abre para revelar un plato caliente. Se incluyen los famosos platos de barbacoa y el Bibbambap bul gogi estofado. Asadal fue un descubrimiento muy bienvenida y nos encantaría volver a visitar este fascinante menú aún más.

We went here on impulse, often risky. The risk was rewarded with a hearty welcome and a delicious meal. We had a combination of barbecued meats and a couple of veg sides. All the food was great and we're looking forward to trying more.

We went for something different! And it was! Authentic Korean, fresh and tasty. Some had the barbecue meats, cooked at the table. I tried the traditional bowl of chicken rice and veg - lovely!! And the kimchi tasty. We would definitely return!

Mi esposa y yo estábamos buscando una comida ligera en una noche de sábado en Holborn y no quería nada demasiado pesado. Pensamos en Wagamamas pero luego noté Asadal cruzando la calle al lado de la estación de metro de Holborn. Nunca hemos comido comida coreana antes, pero aunque puede haber ligeras que era lo que estábamos buscando.

Vine aquí para una comida con la familia y pasamos un tiempo increíble! El menú es muy interesante y variado, con algo para todo el mundo. Pedimos una variedad de platos y todo estaba delicioso. Algunas personas en nuestra mesa tenía una barbacoa donde la carne en un plato caliente en el medio de la mesa. No toma mucho espacio y el personal era muy servicial, nos ayudaron a Cocinar la carne de la mejor manera. Cuidado personal volver a la mesa de registro en la carne y era muy amable. La carne estaba deliciosa! Buenos precios también. Esperamos volver pronto!

Un pequeño lugar escondido en Londres. El que haya comido barbacoa coreana encontrará un nuevo sitio favorito. Acogedor y con un servicio fantástico.

It was my first time at a Korean restaurant so you could say I was a little nervous about what to get. I went in a group of three and we ordered vegetarian japchae, and two bibimbap's. one with raw beef and the other with...

I was regular customer for more than 1.5 years until last week they charged me £90 instead of the £8.5 plus 0.5 card payment fee. First of all the waiter who did it didn't even gave me a receipt from the card payment terminal and after he walked away my phone sent me notification that he took a payment of £90 from my Apple Pay. The manager came over and he wasn't really bothered about the whole thing. He said he won't do cash refund and he did a £81 refund which I have to wait 3-5 working days to receive back and they think its completely fine. Waiter personally never came back to me to apologise and nobody seems to be bothered about the whole thing. Just wait for your refund that was all the comment. This is the kind of experience what they want you to have if you're a regular customer and going to eat there on 2-3 times on monthly bases for more than a year. Also after this I went back again and they selling Rice cakes and fish cakes on the menu but actually they only give you the rice cake and they still expect you to pay the price they displaying on the menu for the price of rice plus fish cake together. They answer for this is just dont eat it if isn't like that. Manager has bad attitude and just coming up to argue with regular customers instead of he should just change the item on the menu and sell it as a rice cake only for a lower price because theres no fish so he shouldn't charge for something actually you never get. Also he were telling us that he dont want us to go there again. Well theres plenty of restaurants in London so I dont need to go to a place full of scumbags and unprofessional waiters who can't figure out a simple primary school math 8.5+0.5=9. Also the food quality is very poor, not like couple months ago, service slow and terrible and the management and customer care is unprofessional and not up to standards. Im not recommending this place to anyone, but if you decide to eat there try to avoid card payments because they might try to charge you 10x times more and then they will just get moody and give you attitude.

It’s hard to find nice Korean food in the centre of London, and Asadal is one of the better ones. Love their food, especially the grill, which I highly recommend. Can get quite busy, so do arrive early or book a table.

I've dined at the Asadal a few times but for some reason forgot to write a review so here it goes;

This long established Korean restaurant is a delight. Easy to get to being just outside Holborn underground station. There is plenty of space between the tables and it is not noisy. We ordered a BBQ set 1 which included a perfectly balanced range of meats and vegetables, a fresh fruit desert with cinnamon tea. We ordered a bottle of very decent Rioja. What was really good was the attention from the staff who showed us exactly how to wrap the barbecued meat with rice and pickles in a lettuce leaf. The meat is cooked in front of you on a grill set on the table. The whole meal was a delightful and very tasty experience. Full marks.

地下鉄ホルボーン駅入り口のすぐ横にあり、待ち合わせてをしてもすごくわかりやすいお店です。夜はセットをオーダーしたところ、キムチ風のスープやタコの料理などが、あっさりした韓国ビールと合い、美味しくいただきました。プルコギはスタッフが焼いてくれますが、味付けが甘く、あまり食が進みませんでした。グラスワインなども手頃な価格でした。

I must not have had Wi-fi last time as the review below was sitting here unsent. I gave it another go and I had a better experience. I arrived at the beginning of lunch and all was fine, still not warm or friendly, but quick. I was seated at a table with someone else as there were many single diners. The food was great.

The restaurant locates 1 min walk from Holborn station, quite convenient to see. While the menu contains most of traditional Korean food, I highly recommend rice cake as appetizer, number 73 ( a stone bowl Korean rice) as main course and since we celebrated a friend’s Birthday here (she got a free ice cream) we did not order dessert. Seafood pancake is a bit light, while pork dumpling tastes a bit light as well. Overall the service is nice and this can be another Korean restaurant choice instead of Kimchee which locates a few meters walk.

This place is great for groups! There were 6 of us and we shared a few portions of beef bulgogi. We couldnt get enough of it, it was so tasty!! The atmosphere is nice and the service is good. Perfect for get togethers. Can't wait to come again.

My wife and I have been going to Asadal for over 10 years. It is has been our all time favourite restaurant. The food is truly authentic and the service is amazing. My wife continues to have her team business lunches there as well. Every single colleague was well fed and very happy. We just love the food at Asadal. If you looking for high quality Korean food ....please go to Asadal. You will have the best foodie experience :)

2 visites en 1 semaine reflètent la qualité de ce restaurant coréen dans le centre touristique de Londres. Nous avons testé le barbecue et le bibimbap. Tous deux très bons. Seul reproche pour le barbecue, il faut commander chaque side séparément ce qui peut vite faire grimper la note. Un set serait appréciable. Le bibimbap est délicieux ! Ce restaurant fera désormais partie de ma liste de favoris londoniens !

Esta es la tercera vez que he estado en este restaurante coreano, pero la primera por unos 2 años, habiendo olvidado lo bueno que es. Siempre es una buena señal, cuando la mayoría de la clientela son coreano! !

Unbelievable high quality, fresh and tasty food. From the fried chicken to the bibimab this place is seriously good quality and reasonably priced. Try the sweet and sour chicken! Not what you'd expect but insanely good.

We were treated rudely throughout our experience. No proper welcome, things thrown on the table, not asked if we wanted more drinks or tea or dessert or how our food was. It just felt tense and angry. But the worst, the lights were actually turned off on us at the end of our lunch, bizarre and just wrong. No goodbyes, sorry, time to close, just the weird message of the lights being turned off. How does a place like this stay in business?!?! They need to learn some manners.

Primero, una palabra sobre encontrar Asadal. La dirección es High Holborn, pero la pequeña puerta de entrada es en realidad a la vuelta de la esquina, al lado en Kingsway la entrada de la estación de metro de Holborn. Abra la puerta y bajar al sótano. Ya que tendrás tus dudas, pero es un encantador lugar allí abajo.

If you come please do not talk to the manager (the large one) because he will destroy your meal. I had waited for my soup for over one hour and I wanted my soup coming. I am sure I use" Could I have my soup because I have waited for a long time". His attitude was so strange. Firstly he said because they were busy (actually it was 8:30 pm and nearly half of the restaurant was empty). Then he said I should tell them that I need the soup coming together with others when I ordered. (Actually I said and I told him already) When the soup came, he laughed at me and pointed at the soup:" look here it comes" and said" you are so rude" to me. I was so angry and my boyfriend wanted him to apologise. Then he said: she is really rude because she ask me to cook the soup for her now!' Actually I did not say this. An old lady came to say sorry but until we left, that guy did not show any sorry. We refused to pay for this meal. I will not come back here and will stop my friends coming here too. 以前经常来这里吃饭从来没有碰到过如此粗鲁的Manager。今后都不会再来了。我等我的汤等了一个多小时，就问他能不能把我的汤快一点上他就说我Rude，还冷嘲热讽说他们很忙（晚上八点半半个餐厅都是空的），说我应该点的时候告诉服务员汤要跟别的一起上因为韩国菜汤都是最后上（但我别的东西都吃完了而且汤包含了米饭你还不上是什么意思？）最后汤上来他指着汤说你看不是来了吗呵呵，一副骄狂的样子。跟他争论的时候对着我们大吼大叫一副要打架的样子，我最后直接拿出手机说我要报警他才被别人拉走。后来一位女士过来给我们道歉但是那个男的始终没有道歉并且去了吧台。伦敦还有很多家韩国菜，并不是非这家不可

I have never had Korean food before. I met new overseas friends on a training course and they suggested we tried here.It was really lovely. The atmosphere was relaxed. The staff were great and friendly. Having never had Korean food before I was unsure what to order but my colleagues explained the menu. I had the kimchi pancake which was fab and a number of shared dishes. I would have liked a few more vegetarian BBQ options but overall fantastic. We did have to dispute the bill though as two bottles of wine were added which we did not have.

I really enjoyed the food in asadal restaurent. When you eat in this place nice and delicieous korean food . You must try try really worth visit this place.

It's not the easiest place to find hidden underneath holborn station! It's a real experience cooking at the table. Buminbap is an absolute essential try (must have an egg with it)- fantastic for a hangover. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the dessert was too, fruit with a cinnamon dip, really refreshing. Food just kept arriving. We had the set meal a for 2 £35pp and it was lovely. Service was attentive cant fault it! Looking forward to returning soon.

I've never dined at a Korean restaurant before and always heard good things about Asadal. I've always walked past but never been. After a long day of walking around London, we decided to go. We called beforehand and made a 7:30pm reservation; seeing that it was a Friday night. We managed to get there really early for our reservation (35 mins early) and asked if we could dine now - after a minute of reshuffling, we managed to get a table, but without the hot plate in the middle - not a problem. The restaurant was fairly busy and had a good buzz. We were served by the older Korean lady (perhaps Manageress/Owner) - she was friendly. We decided on the fried Squid and Chicken Wings for starters and Bibimbap with Chicken & Egg and Tofu Chi Gae (Noodle Soup). The Squid came first, covered in this fairly sweet & chilli red sauce - it was tasty and more-ish. Wings were out promptly and a little disappointingly, covered in the same sauce as the Squid. But tasty nonetheless. My gf's Bibimbap was generous in portion and delicious, while my Chi Gae was smaller in portion than I hoped, but yet again very delicious with enough spice kick. But we were left full and content. Overall, the service wasn't attentive (but typical in some Asian restaurants), the food was good - which came fairy quick and the bill was £45 inc. service - which is great for 2 people in central London. I would recommend Asadal to anyone wanting an Oriental meal.

First time eating Korean in London. My friend's and I had a set menu C which included starter, main and dessert-the food was brilliant, I could not fault it. The only negative was the waiting staff were not very attentive we called them out several times to order food and request the bill. Other than that, it was a pleasurable experience in terms of the food and worth every penny!

Me and my kid honestly we always enjoyed the food there .Whenever we crave for Korean food this is the best restaurant I would recommend.We'd tried other Korean restaurant but Asadal still the bestttttt .... We always enjoyed it so much .

As our offices are located just near Holborn station, we are a regular at this restaurant. There is one caveat to it: We only order the "C5" from the lunch menu. It started off a few years back with us trying to every now and then order something different than C5 but no dish ever lead to the same satisfaction like a C5 does. And since then we deliberately order only this dish, regardless of the number of people in our group. Prices are reasonable for lunch and most of the times it's fast.

First visit to the restaurant for dinner with friends. Food (35 pounds set course) and service were both good not great.

Asadal的位置絕佳，味道也很道地。我最喜歡的是他們的石鍋拌飯還有冷麵，擺盤既豐盛，嚐起來更是沒話說。如果說要找一個Holborn學區附近一個適合的聚餐點，那Asadal絕對是必要考慮的店！

De camino al British Museum, paramos a comer en este restaurante y quedamos encantados. Nos dio buena impresión al entrar y comprobar que el 90% de los clientes eran coreanos.La comida -todos los platos coreanos-, muy buena; la atención del personal también a la altura. Los precios asequibles y en concordancia.Tiene varios "comedores" dentro de la misma sala para albergar mesas mayores de 4 personas.Un muy buen lugar para comer.

Disgraceful rude service. Would never ever come back here again in fact we even walked out as soon as we sat down. Felt a little discriminated from how I was spoken too as all I wanted was to move table as the table I was on didn't have a grill... after all that's what we was there for. So many tables were available I really didn't see what the problem and as we asked politely I really didn't know why he had to be so rude and was like whatever. Take it or leave it.

Food was nice butSmall portions Didn't get to cook myselfNo white wineService a little slow Other than that it was ok we enjoyed the night and sirloin stake nice but thevrump isn't worth the money

Come here if you want the worst service ever and wait 45 minutes for 2 plates of raw meat. Also come here if you want to ask 4 different incompetent blank-faced waiters to hurry your order, only to have it come after another 45 minutes. Oh and if you want to get sassed by the manager who told us to "order better next time", come here! We accidentally ordered 2 of the same soup (when we tried to cancel it they said it was already being prepared - as in they had a bowl out and was ready to scoop the liquid into it?). One was bland and watery but the other had flavor and was salty - different quality of food within a 1 hour period (that's how long it took for the "prepared soup" to come). The table next to us also had to wait a long time for their food. Only redeeming factor was the one nice young Asian boy who actually knew what good service meant.In conclusion, terrible service, subpar non-traditional food, outrageous prices. Overall poor structure and lack of communication between the rude higher-ups and confused waiters. Would not recommend unless you are the only person left in a post zombie apocalyptic world and are absolutely starving!

地下鉄降りてすぐ。余りのアクセスの良さにびっくり。お肉が細切れになってて、焼いてお皿に分けてくれるので、焼き肉奉行が居なくても大丈夫！

This is the second time I have eaten here and both were very good. The food was very authentic and I can say that after being in Seoul last year.The binibab was excellent. Not the best location next to Holborn Tube station but don't be fooled once your down the stairs it's a different experience.

Right next to the Holborn tube station entrance. Looks very ordinary from outside and doesnt look inviting. Once you go down the stairs it is very spacious and looked clean in general. We went there for a business lunch so we had some set lunch. Bulgogi lunch set was good enough. white soup was almost cold but the beef, salad, kimchi were good enough quality. Overall food quality was good enough but cold soup was poor. The waiters are not very friendly. I have given 3 stars here but should be 3.5 stars.

My husband and I arrived around 22:20 and they informed closing time was 23:00. We had a very good and fast service with fresh food and the best ever kimchi! Strongly recommend it!

We arrived at the restaurant at 22:20. The waiter warned us that they would close in 40mn but we stayed. My wife and love Korean food and therefore know it quiere well. The kimchi were excellent, fresh, tasty, and in good quantity. We both took bibimbabs. They were very good. Lots of different veggies, and good beef. The service was ensured by a few different men who were very helpful and polite. In summary, a very pleasant rapid dinner that went very well. We will go back with more time.

We spent a bit of time debating whether or not this was the restaurant we had booked a table at. The pictures we had seen online were of this vast expanse of restaurant whereas the reality of the entrance is a dark door with steps leading...somwhere?!The restaurant is quite large and i would definitely recommend booking unless you like to wait in queues. The food was lovely and we opted for the Korean BBQ - we had the Beef, Chicken & King Prawn to share as well as a vegetable side, 2 different types of Kimchi & some rice. The food is lovely and quite a novel experience to see it cooked in right on your table..the food is filling but not heavy and we left very satisfied. Definitely somewhere to return to!

Some colleagues and I popped in here for a quick lunch one Thursday afternoon. It was quite busy but we only had to wait a couple of minutes before finding a seat. The food was great, served quickly and inexpensive. Don't judge by the outside appearance!
