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

Mi marido y me encanta Gaon y nos diría que en nuestra lista de los 10 mejores de todos los restaurantes favoritos de vez. Hemos sido al menos 10 veces. Estamos un poco preocupados, ya que no ha sido abierto por un tiempo. Están remodelando, ME PREGUNTO? Es la mejor comida coreana en Londres. Recomiendo encarecidamente la barbacoa coreana (el cerdo es especialmente sabroso) y las tortitas de kimchi son de primera categoría. Me encanta el ambiente, el personal amable, y la comida verdaderamente increíble. Espero que podamos volver pronto!

Excellent food and service. We went with our three children, early in the evening twice. We had the japchae, bibimbap, and bulgogi. We also had the kimchi pancake, kimchi, and vegetarian dumplings as a starter. All were outstanding.

Dos de nosotros comimos aquí durante una estancia en un hotel local. Elegimos el menú fijo de 35 libras por persona y una botella de francés Sauvignon Blanc de £22. Nuestra orden fue tomada pero la camarera de volver a decir que se les había acabado del vino que pedimos, pero afortunadamente tenían chilena Sauvignon que nos podría haber. Nos dijeron que estaba bien y teníamos nuestra comida. Cuando la factura llegamos vimos que el vino chileno era razonable de £33 la botella. Pagamos pero me sentí engañado, ya que no hay ninguna mención de la diferencia en el precio cuando el otro vino fue ofrecido.

Si un restaurante es muy escaso, puedo entender que no pueden ser más tiempos de espera. Sin embargo, no había ninguna disculpa del personal por la falta de servicio. Tuvimos a informar a la camarera que estábamos listos para pedir (ni siquiera pedir lo que queríamos para beber cuando llegamos). Teníamos una buena comida (aunque las raciones eran un poco pobre) y luego nos cobraron el servicio cuando no había ninguno! En general, un alto precio, comida razonable y mal servicio

A la izquierda el restaurante y unos deseando hacer un comentario. Tuve el menú del chef, que estaba a 8 pequeños cursos de cata. Todo estaba muy bien presentado y el sabor, doneness y texturas no podría haber sido mejor. Sin duda vale la pena repetir para mí. El servicio fue atento, y el servidor lo sabían los campos y cómo juntar.

런던의 모든 한식당을 가보지는 않았지만 상당히 괜찮은 맛을 보여줍니다. 맛 자체는 서구적인 맛보다 한국적인 맛에 가깝습니다. 종업원의 서비스도 좋았습니다. 다만 위치가 쉽게 가기에는 조금 어렵습니다.

Nice food with a little barbecue for the table We had two degustation menu at 50 pound well one is enough to for two to share with an additional dish.

El restaurante está situado en una zona muy accesible de Londres, la comida es muy buena, pero puede ser caro si tienes algo grandioso.

las texturas brillantes, gustos y presentaciones. Una nueva era con el restaurante coreano juiciest Galbi, más sabroso Chopshe ( excusa mi ortografía de este exquisito plato), el pollo crispest chili y dulce coreano pancake. El último es tristemente estaría mal ya que es muy le faltaba algo de ambiente.

He estado en coreanos en Londres, Gaon es por desgracia una muy mala uno tengo que decir. La porción es muy pequeña, y los ingredientes no están tan fresco, sin mencionar lo caro que es! Hay otros restaurantes coreano son mucho mejor que este. Lo recomiendo evitar si tuviera usted!

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit here. We had a couple of light starters and then I took the barbecue pork belly and my wife the barbecue chicken. Both were superb and as we are trying to ease up on carbs very excited to eat with lettuce leaves and that actually enhances the flavour! Overall superb!

I had hot-pot bibimbop and liked it. It's seasoned just right (not too salty, greasy, etc). It shares some characteristics that probably stand out only (?) to American travelers, with other restaurants in UK. That is, the portion is small, and the price not cheap. So if you don't want to spend whole lot of money for regular dinner, stick with chains like wasabi, pret-a-manger, etc.

Everything came in rather small portion, and very spicy. Nice furnishing but the service was really bad as I recall. I personally don't recommend this.

I live around the corner of this place and thought I'd check it out for lunch. We were a bit skeptical as when we entered there was no one: customer or staff. We stuck to our choice and went for the lunch box (priced at £17 I think) and we did not regret it. The food was nice and the portion was huge and filled us to perfection. The waitor was super friendly and explained to us a few things about Korean food. The restaurant is really good but also more pricy then other Koran restaurants but less pricy then the neighboring restaurants. They also have a hot/cold air conditioning. CONCLUSION: would recommend and will be back to try more things. PS: I'd try the Kimchi Pancakes also, they were a delight

It is very outstanding restaurant, although it's quite small place. This place is not cheap, but taste is good enough for price. It has very good beef menu with 5 kinds of salts. I like that. Also, the Korean typical dishes were also good. The service was good enough to say thank you.

We entered this restaurant by chance. Walking on the Street, we were attracted from the Windows and decided to walk through the door.It was a great decision! We were immediately attended with nice suggestions.The food was really good, tasty and spicy, although not too spicy as you can tell the waiter how spicy you like your food.We had both Udon, rice and meat. Everything was Worth the price!

Eher zufällig bin ich auf das Gaon gestoßen, da ich nach zwei Abenden Pub-Food ebendieses nicht mehr sehen konnte.Gottseidank kein 08/15-Asiate, sondern einige eher ungewöhnliche Gerichte auf der Karte. Der Algensalat war mit einem sehr interessanten Dressign, die Algen selbst (3 Sorten) sehr lecker. Die frittierten Austern waren hervorragend - man hat noch die Frische des Meeres geschmeckt, aber trotzdem frittiert - toll. Als Hauptgericht dann "scharfes" Schweinefleisch. Es war nicht wirklich scharf, aber gut mariniert und dazu gab es eine sehr leckere Soße aus fermentierten Bohnen mit leicht süßlichem Geschmack. Die Weinauswahl, auch die der offenen, war gut, und die mir servierten Weine waren einwandfrei. Obwohl ich alleine war, war der Service sehr aufmerksam, ohne Eile, und hat mir auch die ein oder andere Sache erklärt. Gaon ist nicht billig, aber sein Geld allemal wert. Hier komme ich gerne wieder hin.

Very good & tasty dishes. Spicy - but not 2 spicy. The Black Cod melted like butter on my tongue. Quality wines - Excellent service !

We just wandering in off the street at lunchtime, and had an excellent meal. Service was very good and the décor was very modern. The wine was good but somewhat over-priced.

Classy atmosphere, good food (especially the bulgogi) good wine and sake list and good service, so nothing to complain about!

We went there for a dinner and food is amazing... service is good until we order take away, but they make sure is all together very quickly. Highly recommended for a high end Korean food. We had three pickles as pre starters, potato noodles, fried chicken with Korean spicy sauce, kimchi pancake, beef bim bim bam with miso soup , BBQ pork belly , tenderloin, and beef ribs! They are doing amazing food, and wish they have more choices on the BBQ menu. Price is a bit pricy comparison with normal Korean restaurants. However, food quality and service are good to pay for.If you ask me, the best Korean food in the London city, the answer will be Gaon.

One of the best Korean restaurants in London. We tried many different plates and they were all fab. Some faves were Gyoza, tempura, bulgolgi and noodles.

this was one of the best korean meals i've had in london. food was delicious and service excellent. Also the location is so convenient given it's at south ken.

If your in the area and want to try something different this is quite an acceptable place to dine. It's not gourmet, nor above average. it's just decent food. The spicy beef and pickled cabbage were tasty but portions rather small. How much does cabbage cost? These are the two dishes that stand out in my memory. The wine list is small and mostly New World but both price and quality reasonable for this part of London.The restaurant is small and if you like bling you will enjoy it. I, personally, prefer a quieter, subdued ambience.

I'm a Korean aficionado and this place is pretty special with unique positioning. Most Korean restaurants make little attempt at attracting non-Korean customers. This place is the exception. The chic decor is the first positive impression that greets you at this Brompton Road venue. They have a nice candle lit room in the back and equally nice seating downstairs. The food more importantly is calibrated to appeal to those unfamiliar with Korean food. The menu is all in English with English names for the various options. Example: "Pajeon" is listed simply as seafood pancake. But that in no way detracts from the high quality or authenticity. The BBQ is beautifully presented on mini grills with live charcoals underneath for example. The kimchi is exceptionally fresh. The tofu kimchi is divine. Even the ginseng tea is of the highest quality. It is true that this place is a bit expensive compare to standard Korean fare like BiBiGo but the quality is superior and the venue more intimate. Whether you have consumed as much kimchi as I have over the years or not, you will not regret your visit.

Decided to try a new restaurant in London, and the choice landed on Gaon. We went for a set menu, and chose between the various options.After waiting for what felt like ages, the lukewarm soup arrived. It totally lacked flavor, and our expectations really sank. The set menu was priced at 35 pounds per person, which is quite a bit when it comes to Asian cuisine (when not talking Michelin standard). The next dishes that arrived were very different. 1 really lacked presentation, with 2 shrimpcakes just planted onto the plate with a bowl of soysauce next to it. The other dish was really propped up with lots of different sauces smeared around, various towers built of the different ingredients etc. Really got the short end of the stick on this one. Then came 1 pork and 1 chicken dish. They were identical with the only difference being the meat. The pork was extremely fatty, and kind of hard to chew. It did taste of barbecue so that was a good thing. The chicken on the other hand was really good. Full of flavor, and juicy. The desert was a plain and simple green tea ice-cream. Not the best that I have had. The service was a bit off at times. Friendly, but slow and not too attentive. When having a tasting menu, rhythm is everything. To be served lukewarm dishes with sometimes 20 minutes of waiting between each dish it can get a bit tiresome. We would have felt ok just leaving after the soup, and was actually contemplating it.

My husband and I decided to try a different cuisine on our last night in London and we went into the restaurant based on previous reviews.What struck me was that this Korean restaurant did not serve banchan (Korean side dishes) which is a mark of a typical korean restaurant. Side dishes had to be ordered separately whereas in Korea or even in Singapore where I am from its given for free and refillable in restaurants.Between us we ordered the kimchi pancake and bbq pork and beef. Kimchi pancake was nice but portion was small. The bbq meats were served in hot plates on top of a charcoal 'stove'. The meats were tasty enough but nothing astounding.Overall the price of the meal certainly did not justify the quality and quantity. Do not waste your time here.

Before eating at Gaon Resturant i'd never tried Korean food before, but on recommendation booked a table and have been singing its praises ever since. On arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome reception and showed to our table which was in a quaint private room at the back. Looking at the menu, I knew I wanted to try everything as it all sounded delightful. There were too many dishes to remember, but all were fabulously presented and every new mouthful was as pleasing to the taste bud as the last dish. I was super impressed with the service, and they quality of food was exceptionally good. The black cod was the highlight for me. Definitely order this dish and definitely go to this restaurant. Absolute treat!

After looking and the menu and realising that i wanted absolutely everything on it, we decided to just order a large selection and pick.. There was not one plate that didn't get hoovered up by our entourage- everyone left with full tummies, wanting to go back. Considering we were quite a rowdy bunch, the staff were more than accommodating. There is also a lovely private room at the back for big parties, while the front of the restaurant boasts a contemporary, semi-alfresco feel for those warm summery nights. If you have never tried Korean food before, i couldn't recommend a better place to start!Enjoy!

Went on a summer evening, opened the doors of the restaurant to the street which was really lovely. Really attentive staff, great menu and food was delicious! Went with a large group so a lot of different dishes were ordered and everything was delicious! Would defiantly go again and recommend to others!

Gaon is a Korean Barbeque place that offers classic Korean dishes set in an upmarket atmosphere.I have lived in Seoul and Korean BBQ is one of the tastiest styles of cooking there is out there (although surprisingly uncommon in London). My girlfriend had not tried it before, and so I hoped the food would be as good as i know it can be. I was not disappointed - Bolgogi, Kalbi, chicken skewers were all delicious and were served in the traditional Korea way (with lettuce, red bean paste, spring onions, garlic and chilli) and some of the starters were great too.The wine was very good, there was a good selection of Asian beer, a great hot and cold Sake menu and Korean Soju (a sort of mild sweetish and pleasant rice vodka) which you drink neat.Service was stand out fantastic. Not that the food came quickly (it comes, in the Korean manner one dish at a time), but that the staff and maitre d' were extremely kind, funny and welcoming to every person in the small restaurant. The maitre d' even has an iPad and asks people whether they have eaten Korean BBQ before - if not he shows them pictures of what to order on the iPad. It's a nice touch and keeps them from putting any sort of pictures on the menu (that Asians often do, but westerners hate). Jay, the owner/maitre d' was very accommodating and spent time talking at each table - it is a small enough restaurant that this will continue to be possible even as the place becomes undoubtedly more popular.Atmosphere was elegant and understated. It is hard to discern from the outside that it is a Korean restaurant, and it is relatively small (probably 6 tables). There is a larger room at the back that can be separated off that sits around ten people - so large parties can go. Music was turned down to a minimum which was a pleasant surprise.Value for money - I ate my fill (several shared starters and several shared main dishes) and I am not a small guy, and had a few drinks. All in all it was a medium spend night - around £70 a head all in - even comparable with any upmarket pub in the area.These guys have a late license too, are not using it yet, but I'm interested to see how it turns out.I am definitely going here again - and I would recommend it to everyone.

everything was totally delicious. we ordered a lot off the menu as we were six and wanted to try everything. we were not disappointed everything was fresh and tasty and what a great experience to have 'authentic'? korean food! yumonly negative was they had run out of most of the wines so we had to change wine mid meal...i suppose we should have been drinking sake!

Having lived for 2 years in Seoul, my wife and I have really missed the opportunity of rekindling our love for Korean food.Recently we booked an evening at The Royal Albert Hall and decided to find a close by Korean restaurant within a mile was the Gaon.The food was totally authentic and delicious just as we had for years remembered.So with an Englich couples way of saying Thank you in Korean as well other brief phrases we left Gaon with a smile and a promise to returnJust great value and excellent food
