Bullgogi in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely love this restaurant! Visited many times and it never disappoints! The starters are spectacular at the moment.

Nice ambiance and good service. The food was hot, tasty, exactly as described and portion size is good. No complaints at all. We’d visit again if in the area. Well done all.

Sat night date night, running late so we phoned ahead. They said last orders are 22.30 and the restaurant closes at 23:00. We were so relieved and ran in at 22:27. Buzzy atmosphere and tons of people still eating and vibing. Bar staff instantly said “we’re closed.” No greeting. I explained that we rushed here and showed them my phone, with several mins left. “Only if you make an order right away, what do you want?” Luckily I’d scanned the menu beforehand. While they gave us plates and napkins, my partner politely asked if he could have a beer. The waitress snapped, “no, the bar is closed.” We desperately looked around for another server, who, luckily got us one beer. Unfortunately, I think the young woman might have been reprimanded for doing so, as our waitress pulled her aside afterwards. The K-BBQ was tasty (basic beef/chicken) & selection of 3 types of kimchi was good. It would have been great if a small bowl of dipping sauce had been included. Rice was £3 for a small bowl. We had no starters or other drinks and paid almost £60. About 25-30 minutes of arriving, they started handing people their bills and tidying up tables. As shown on their website, the restaurant closes promptly at 23.00 and we were asked to leave shortly after as “it closed 15 minutes ago, thank you.” Considering that K-BBQ involves cold stuff (kimchi), pre-made stuff (rice) and cook it yourself meats - plus the fact that the restaurant was buzzing - I was surprised that they were trying to close the kitchen and bar several minutes before their stated time. Overall, it wasn’t a great date night restaurant. Even if you went at 7/8pm, they seem like they would try to kick people out just to get the tables turned over - everyone was actually that brusque.

This is a lovely restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff were absolutely amazing and made our night a really good experience.

Absolutely amazing Korean food. Can recommend the Korean fried chicken - I had boneless with spicy/sweet sauce. The server Anthony, was extremely helpful - highly recommend this store!

This establishment engages in deceptive practices. Our excitement for Korean BBQ was shattered when we discovered that rice and banchans were not included, despite the high price. We had to pay an extra £20, a clear display of their greed. The meat was unremarkable, and the sauces excessively salty. Our mediocre KBBQ experience cost us £70 for two. We won't be returning; avoid this place!

My daughter and I visited for lunch and the food was amazing...... We had the pork that was so well cooked and tender it melted in your mouth. Service for the 3 servers was great and couldn't be faulted. Would highly recommend for the food, service and price.

We had the best Korean bbq in the whole of London and the staff was really friendly. So amazing would love to come back to the restaurant called Bullgogi.

Great fun, and I loved the grilling of different meats and wrapping them traditionally with the lettuce leaves, spring salad and raddish was delicious. The spicy pork was my favourite meat to grill. And the bottled korean beer was super tasty and refreshing also.

We first had Korean BBQ in Singapore and we loved it, so we jumped at the chance to eat here. We weren’t disappointed. The spicy platter was excellent and the beef platter was even better, the ribeye was top notch. Great service, great food, great night!

We often get delivery from here and it's always great, particularly the spicy pork bao and the fried chicken. It's not the cheapest but the quality is consistently high and there is good variety of dishes.

We came here last night and it was one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip in London. The KFC with honey garlic sauce was incredible and we are going to have to try to recreate it at home to get our fix because we don’t live in London! We chose the premium grill sharer and were not disappointed - our favourite part was the ribs but everything was fantastic. They didn’t have the right steak left because we were very late eating but they were very sweet and apologetic and switched it to sirloin (which was also great still!). We also think because of this they gave us extra scallop and KFC which is lovely. Must go if in the area!! We will be back

I'd not tried Korean food before and very glad I did. We walked in without a booking for lunch on a Sunday and were seated immediately. Pleasant atmosphere. Had assorted kimchi and a delicious seaweed salad to start with. Also vegetable dumplings and a mushroom bao (bun to you and me) . Really good. Drank plum wine which was a bit like cough mixture in a martini glass - weird but nice! Will go again. But wouldn't order water next time as it was £3 a bottle. Albeit a very stylish glass one.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing everything. The only suggestion I would have it to have different sauces as there wasn’t mush option

Excellent Korean food excellent service very good place. Very clean restaurant with a lot of choices

The waiters were super friendly but as the restaurant gets busy it can feel as though it’s a tad under staffed. Towards the end of the night, it would take ages for our plates to be cleared up and to get the check. The food was a very very mixed bag. There were more misses than hits. We found the jalapeño peppers, pork bao buns, spider roll and sirloin steak to be massively underwhelming but the bulgogi bao buns and bulgogi meat were pretty solid and so were the rice dishes (we have definitely had better though). Unfortunately, everything is a tad bit on the pricey side and a meal for 3 people came to around £110 excluding an additional 15% for the service. The taste, quality and portions of food definitely doesn’t match this price and so I wouldn’t recommend coming to this Korean BBQ. Nearby there is a place called Gogi, which although service was worse, I would say the portions and quality are much much better to justify the price (same as bullgogi)

The staff were amazing, but the menu availability was poor. Lots of items "out of stock", which was very disappointing for our Daughters Birthday. What we ate was good, but would have preferred more of a selection. Dessert selection was very poor.

What excellent food! The bao buns were some of the best I’ve tried, the venue is low-key and chilled. Recommend for sure, very nice place

This small restaurant seemed very popular as it was busy. The menu offered a wide choice of Asian type foods so we thought we'd try it. We later found out it was Korean food. We both had starters and main courses and struggled to finish...

Food was great and the service excellent. Not the cheapest way to buy pork belly, however I can't think where I'd like to buy it more. Marvellous...! And do try the spiced pork...!

One employee at reception was very rude, the toilets were neglected and overall it was a very bad experience

I love Korean food and have been slowly making my way around trying all the Korean restaurants in London, and I quite liked this restaurant. The menu has a lot of BBQ stuff and hot plats on the tables, although they also have the usual...

Some of the food was good - I.e. bbq chicken. The rest was average. The rib eye steak was chewy. The ambience is a bit too dark for our tastes. We like to see what we are eating - especially if we are cooking it...

I put 2 stars just for the food that was really good! Other than that I rarely write reviews but I am quite disappointed spending a £100 for a meal of 2 for such a terrible service... it really made me so upset the way...

Treated myself solo after a particularly hard day at work with nothing in the fridge at home. So glad I did! Excellent bibimbap - most crucially, with good quality meat. A wide range of sides and soft drinks. I was sat a bit too close...

Excellent local Korean restaurant. Tasty dishes, fair prices and fast service. All set lunch menu are amazing! Definitely recommend!

This place is amazing the menu is vast though and if you a newbie to korean food can be daunting.. Kimchi pancake with beef dolsot bibimab and Bulgogi(highly recommend)with seafood pancake. All very warm and delicious. Great Korean food in London. Will go again and...

Always a pleasure visiting Bullgogi still. The best BBQ I've had in London. The BBQ plates was amazing and high quality. A must visit for anyone looking for an authentic Korean dining experience in London. Thanks Bullgogi!!

And then to walk into an empty restaurant on a Sunday afternoon was amusing. The tables are spacious seats comfortable. Take a shawl it’s chilly. Menu is quite extensive but expensive. Especially the drinks. Especially the soft drinks. Truly dreadful loud music we had to...

Came solo and 70% of mains need 2 people. All the bbq need 2 people. The dishes i had were average, and rather pricey for what it was.

Very mixed. The good: 1. Food-nice and tasty. 2. Waitresses - excellent. Unfortunately, that’s all. Our entrees did not come out all together, we had to chase them. As for the mains, one didn’t even come out (again, had to chase) until all had finished...

3.5 stars. Food was ok but just nice, nothing more. Quick service, pleasant staff. Felt a touch pricey for what i had.

The bulgogi was good and sauce to spice it up was served as well, I found it rather bland without. The interior is nice but it is quite packed and it was a bit hard to get out in the end. Staff was very nice.

Very nice place. Food was good. My fist time in a Korean restaurant but good experience. Service amazing and quick.

Looking for somewhere interesting to eat on a Sunday evening we came upon this restaurant by chance. It appeared fairly empty and so entered with some trepidation. However, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. We chose to share the "Premium Platter" cooked on the...

The food is pretty good quality and the service is attentive. The quality is reliable, I ate here a few times and it's always good. Location is convenient. I would recommend the spicy pork bao, it's delicious. Not the cheapest place but it's worth it.

Open bistro styled, fun environment with broad menu - good quick service. Good value - open planned wooden tables

A new korean. We loved it. Bullgogi is very good and I loved also the dumplings. Some people had the small waygyu bites , small hamburger and the bao sandwiches. They all seemed great and delicious. Korean pancakes and Mochi are also good

Yes, this is not the traditional Korean restaurant, so don’t go there if you don’t want some new experience. The atmosphere though is pleasantly inviting, modern chic as you would expect in Notting Hill. When it comes to the food, we had 2 good and...

Sunday night, we went to this Japanese place in Notting hill. There was not so many people. We were welcomed by the manager, very nice. She showed the table to us. It’s a modern place and very spacious with heigh ceiling. We ordered mainly some...

Full disclosure: I am Korean. Enjoyed eating at Bullgogi twice during my last visit to London. Family lives in the area and they have really enjoyed having Korean food available for delivery and eating in. Father likes to have Korean food at all opportunities so...

Came here with a group of friends. Never tried Korean cuisine before, so I cannot compare it with others. But we were all very satisfied with the food, we started with a variety of 8 different starters, all of which were very good, except perhaps...

Enjoyed my meal here. It's not a cuisine style I know; however the staff were happy to help with choices. Food was tasty and a bit different. Well worth a try. Pretty good value too.

Just got there by accident and not regretting it. It was our first time eating korean food and just loved it. Prices are reasonable, good sizing portions and nice service. Liked it a lot.

Good food and lovely wait staff. Couldn't have been nicer to our ragtag bunch of diners. Small children got straws and window seats and adults got sterling recommendations on the Soju. The KFC - sweet, spicy chicken - was a real hit with everyone. Reasonable...

Well it might be a kind of bland of korean food with some western dishes, but it is good! I loved the food and the atmosphere.

A great night out with friends in Nottinghill. I would recommend this place for people trying Korean food for the first time or for people looking for something new! The food comes out in fusion/tapas style so you can try lots of different combinations. Plan...

Very friendly staff, delicious food with wide selection of Korean classics. Cool interior and good music. Ignore the usual trip advisor squares who get queasy if they hear techno

Went here on a whim for some lunch of Saturday. It wasn't too busy so we were immediately given a table. Unfortunately we just kind of sat there until after 5 minutes I eventually asked for the menu! Then things picked up. Menu has delicious...

On entry a man who looked like the manager very enegetically greeted us and then passed us onto a lady who looked like a co-owner or another manager. We then sat down and within a few minutes were asked by 5 different waiting staff if...

Went here last night for a late birthday catch up. Been wanting to try it out as it was close to work. Their menu is fairly extensive, so you're spoilt for choice. I love my Korean food, been to so many places where you can...

Terrible absence of welcome, had to wait around watching empty tables while the staff rigidly refused to seat us until the manager emerged from the back (felt more North than South Korean!). The menu is quite interesting, but the food much duller than it should...

This is a real gem of a place. Nice interiors, soft lighting and contemporary decor and the most important part: staff all welcome you with a big smile. The food was delicious! We had the dumplings, a Bullgogi bbq and the broccoli stems and loved...

This is a nice place serving inventive, fresh and flavoursome food. I had a hot soup, some pork buns and some amazing pop-corn prawns. All the food was exceptional. The menu is not too long but the guy in the kitchen knows what he is...

I came here with 5 friends and we had a great meal. The restaurant was pretty busy and the tables were quite close together so it was a bit of a struggle getting into our seats.. The service was prompt and they were patient when...

Appalling service, especially from the manger. Unappetising food. Overpriced and dirty interior! Don’t bother!

This restaurant is a new and welcome addition to Notting Hill. Good choice of Korean/Asian food with a twist. My Bibimbap was great and the dumplings good too. Pretty good value for money, although the portions were a little small. The staff are definitely mixed-from...

We normally go to traditional Korean restaurants and BBQs in any city we visit. This little place is a modern and fun restaurant, serving Korean food with a twist! We enjoyed every dish we tried, particularly the KFC Chicken n' minibeers, the beet-cured salmon pizza...

a very new modern Korean restaurant in Notting Hill Gate. The newness is kind of fun but the staff were also new-ish. We went there a couple of timese in June when they had a special offer and I think the senior staff were good...
