Seoul 90' in Islington

Super endroit, convivial et dans l’esprit Coréen, une cuisine raffiné et local avec du goût, on s’y croirait! Je recommande fortement, rapport qualité prix superbe

It's refreshing to be able to finally write a positive review about a London restaurant. Good variety of food options, well prepared and served in a bright and airy environment. Service is great. Good and interesting choice of drinks. The only recommendation I would make is to reduce the quantity of salt in the dishes. That would actually bring out the natural flavours of the other ingredients better. Anyone that likes it super salty can simply add salt.

EXCELLENT!! Seoul90 is a small, unpretentious restaurant on Old Street serving the best Korean food we've ever had, We booked a table for our family of four on Sat 25th March 23 on our London weekend break away from home in Hampshire, to visit the V&A's Korean exhibition. (Lived and worked in London many years ago. Good to return to its familiar streets.) It was a hard choice amongst the many Korean restaurants in London but this was nearest to our hotel and my daughter (BTS obsessed) was convinced we should come here when she watched Seoul 90's tiktok video featuring background music 'Butter' by BTS!! How pleased we are that we came (even if my daughter half hoped them to be playing BTS when we arrived...they weren't ha ha...more sophisticated dining music instead). Having eaten Korean food for many years (having been taught how when I was a teen by a Korean family in the 80s) I was so impressed. The kimchi was to die for. Fresh, garlicky - I could have eaten platefuls more. As was the Tokbul Pot Soup (sliced beef chuck) which was new to us, and is the tastiest, beefy broth (the sort you need if feeling run down), and the stack of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was of course utterly divine. (Came on a plate piled high like profiteroles). Also tried their slippery glass noodles which had a lovely taste emphasis on toasted sesame oil. Beef fried dumplings were lovely too. The Korean plum juice was the most delicious juice I've ever had. What a shame we Brits don't produce or drink it. We sampled all the Mochi ice cream for dessert and they were far far better than the more rubbery skinned Little Moons brands we can only get at main supermarkets (although they came sliced in two with cocktail sticks in each and they kids prefer to hack into the soft mounds themselves!!). The Korean sweet potato spirit was an interesting first for me - not as strong as vodka is, so therefore quite nice to drink it from it's little shot glass without coughing or spluttering, but I probably wouldn't order again. All in all, two days later back in Hampshire and we are salivating for Seoul 90's outstanding food. Honestly, we could eat all of that all day every day. Can't wait to return to London to our new favourite restaurant. Maybe we'll summon up the courage to ask them to play BTS 'Butter' next time!

We passed by Seoul 90 and as we like korean food we thought to give it a try. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food and the service. The menus is comprehensive, the ingredients taste fresh and very well cooked and the restaurant vibes are very modern. We had no5 and no6 with some rice on the side (we were also eyeing the japchae but we didn't have enough time for more than a couple of dishes). We will definitely come back for more next time we are in London.

We were lucky to get a table - the restaurant was full but as we arrived a group were just leaving! Great atmosphere, delicious, authentic Korean food. We loved all 6 dishes we chose. Prosecco was really cold, service was great. I would highly recommend and will definitely we going back.

What a find! We were off to a restaurant and stumbled across this one on the way. Looked amazing and was busy so we went there instead. It did not disappoint! We had the tofu and bbq pork and it was absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced and the atmosphere in there was great. Fabulous staff serving home cooked food, think Korean food is our new favourite cuisine! Would highly recommend this hidden little gem. Also a stones throw away from the easyHotel :)

We’ve moving to just around the corner pretty recently and have walked past a few times. Can’t believe we haven’t been in sooner! Such friendly service and really great food - can’t believe we haven’t been sooner and will be back very soon

I have tried many korean restaurants in London and this one was by far the best! The food was 10/10 ~ gorgeous, generous portions and fresh!! Would really recommend you stop here. Lovely staff too!
