Sodaeng in Wandsworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came here again tonight! Still 5*. Go! Didn't quite believe all the 5* reviews here, but just been tonight and have to say that it was super good! Even if you have never eaten Korean food before I would recommend. It can be very hot and spicy, but there are lovely flavours and dips to compliment and the BBQ grill is fun. The waiting staff are very attentive too, and we look forward to going back.

The absolute best and closest Ganja Tang to South Korea. The Yuk Gae Jang is equally delightful. Fried chicken was abit disappointing especially after it cools down as the flavors and crispiness fades.

Traditional Korean food with fair price.

Awesome authentic Korean with polite and patient staff. Kam sah hamnida

Highly recommended, great food and amazing service!

It's Korean food in the UK, so it may not be overestimated, but it's still delicious. It's like a normal house in Korea

It is a nice street restaurant with high quality food ingredients and chef good cooking skills. It is rare to find any restaurant nowadays offer quality food at this price. However, the taste is not what people usually expect from Korean food. I order few things, the taste and sometimes the looking is not what I expect. Forget about the Korean part,just think about the food itself, the flavour is still a bit weird, it doesn’t taste good, just about ok. But when considering it is Korean food, we shall have expectations of the taste, which this is even below the average. The food quality and decent cooking saved the dish. You can trust both positive and negative reviews, this is good food, but taste doesn’t satisfy.

We are from Argentina, we came to this place and we loved it! Delicious, abundant, very fast and good price. Super recommended!!!!!

Delicious food served piping hot and at a reasonable price. Recommended

Amazing authentic Korean food, kimchi, cold noodles, Korean seafood pancakes and beef rice. Highly recommend!

Perhaps it was a bad night. But it wasn’t very busy so can only review on the bases of my personal experience. After hearing great things and dying to try Korean brought my family here and was disappointed when the waitress gave little assistance in ordering. Then the food arrived and most of it was terribly bland. The Yamyang chicken was great and this on its own saved it from getting two stars.

Good, tasty food. Excellent service at the press of a button! Tad more expensive than we thought however…

Our two Korean friends recommended this place. They said some of the Korean diaspora that lives in London loves Sodaeng. I can see why. The menu is extensive, presents great value for money, and the food was delicious. Our spring onion omelette and fried chicken starters were amazing, and the ribs kimchi stew was a Korean epicurean tour de force delight. Will come back to try other things, including the bbq.

We chose korean bbq for dinner at Soedang. Service was very attentive and its a fun bonding experience to make food together. Galbi (short rib) and pork belly were both good. Menu could do with a few more beef options outside of steak / short rib. We did ask for salt & pep to enhance meat flavour. Kongnamul and muchim were great, but i’ve had better pickled daikon. Cass beer was a 10/10 + ice cold. If you order lettuce you get a generous portion & the boiled rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy. A great entry into korean bbq ! Thank you!

Ordered on Deliveroo and as takeaways go this surpassed my expectations. I ordered the squid (starter) and noodles with chicken. Impressive overall, quality was really good. And the chicken and noodles had a nice mix of veg and sauce. Nice depth. Well done team and thanks for keeping a good standard - hard to find.

Excellent Korean cold noodles😋Bravo👏👏👏

Incredible food, the go-to place for Korean food, the garlic honey chicken is to die for!

This was undoubtedly one of the best Korean places to get takeaway from. I was happy, my tummy way happy. Their star dishes are without a doubt their star dishes, so give them a go. I doubt you'll regret it !

Special place Great quality on all accounts (food, service, atmosphere)

We went on a busy Sunday evening. Food was amazing and service was mind blowing. That Nepali boy was everywhere and really attentive. I forget to ask his name but he delivered an excellent service to us. He keeps on asking us if we need something throughout the period. Although restaurant is little bit away from High street it was really busy and we feel lucky to get the table. We will obviously come back.

Best Korean restaurant in London! Food is amazing and truly authentic. Travelled more than an hour for this from friend recommendation and definitely didn’t disappoint.

A taste of home in an unfamiliar country

Nice Korean restaurant in Putney!

Got in 19:45pm and being told it's fully booked and there is no table to serve. We've asked if we can wait, unfortunately sent back home. On the way out, we turned back to make a reservation for a bit later time but then saw three empty tables - the staff mentioned they're apprently available but she didn't show them as she thought we might not like it. She then added that the restaurant won't take order from 20:00pm so we walked out. Looking at Google review - I can see other people already left a comment regarding staff treating people unfairly ? suppose they met the same staff, given their experience seems exactly the same as ours.

Really good food and not too expensive. Really enjoyed it

Authentic korean food at reasonable price!

A wonderful surprise, my first Korean restaurant, and so lucky it’s in Putney!! In a nutshell, delicious food, and this place made me realise I love ❤️ Korean food 🤩 I should’ve noted the names of the dishes we’d ordered, we were 4 of us: - As starters we ordered squid, and dumplings - look at the photo - And as main, I was the odd one out and ordered a lovely spicy pork fillet while all others went for the seafood stew, which gets cooked on the stove in the table - again take a pip at the photos Flavours were unexpected and delightful, different, and leaving you with that feeling to be back soon! No wonder it took many calls and weeks until we managed to get a table… Will definitely be back soon, highly recommend!!! :)

Was deceited by the overrated reviews. The food is generally mediocre and a plate of beef smells bad and unfresh

Third time visiting and such a beautiful place, albeit on the small/cost side. Would love to visit. for my son's birthday

Most incredibly delicious dishes, specifically their Kimchee fried rice, Bibimbap, and Japchae - which my family and I must have every week or 2. Hands down best Korean in London! Staff really lovely and kind as well, such a gem of a restaurant.

There are no complaints food wise, however the main fault seems to be the training of staff. The Korean waiter served us the wrong meal and she rudely took it back without saying anything. Also, our table bell was not working, so we had to wait for her endlessly. It was no big deal for sure, however she constantly ignored us when we asked her for help. If the staff attitude and service can be improved, then I think the rating can go up by 1 star. It’s such a shame that other reviews have praised the service, but it seems to be lacking in consistency.

I was worried about adding this review. Because I don’t want Sodaeng to get any busier. It is a wonderful, cosy and authentic Korean restaurant. The staff are charming, the food is just brilliant. I wont really add much more, only to say I can’t quite believe I haven’t found this place sooner. Delicious 😋

I am so happy to have a Korean restaurant nearby but I have had better quality meats before for bbq. I still think the food was good but what made the experience a bit less enjoyable was the staff. There were couple of miss-haps with the order and the staff was unable to give us recommendations and support when ordering the food. Hoping to visit again at some-point and have a different experience

very smelly, don't wear nice clothes when you visit.mostly the dishes we ordered were good, but the noodle is extremely disappointing, as the owner did not make any effort to make any handmade noodles, instead, using some cheap egg noodle (even worse than Aldi egg noodle) for this soup noodle dish. soup is also disappointing, not like the Korean way (no need to crash the seaweed). could have bit more meat in that soup as well.

tasty freshly cooked food thanks for looking after your customers

Genuinely couldn't fault the place. All of our meals were fantastic. The food was spicy but a good level. Service was great - attentive without being intrusive. Also the price was fair and the portions were good. Not a local but will be returning.

Food was fantastic. Big portions and really delicious. Delivery was bad. It was around 30 mins late. Rider went somewhere else and I didn’t know what had happened

The food is really really good, no wonder it’s a 4.9 rating 🥹🥹 definitely my top 1 Korean food in London!!!!

very clean！！food is great！！but the restaurant is so far！！！

lovely food and prompt delivery. enjoyed my pork noodle dish. will definitely order again!

Good food, great services. Enjoyed very much, thank you

Ordered on uber eats, and honestly, this is the best korean restaurant in London. As someone who has relied on restaurants like Yori, their quality has gone downhill and Sodaeng has become my new favourite. Authentic, delicious and cheap! Very highly recommend.

Second time in this restaurant and had two great experiences. Food is very good with many different things to try. Large portions and good value for money. Service is great and attentive even on a busy night.

Amazing Korean restaurant in London! Come to Putney, visit Sodaeng and you will have a great culinary Korean experience. The food is delicious, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Several options in the menu as starters, mains,hot pots and bbqs, to propose a wide range of the Korean kitchen proposals. The restaurant is lovely and the service is excellent. Great value for money, and place highly recommended.

One of the best Food Quality/Price I have been in London! The place is cozy with a few tables and you are able to order via app once at the table. There is plenty of choice in the menu for all taste, but we decided to go with a few starters (recommend Ddok Bokki - slightly spicy) and a Ox Bone Broth (amazing)! We tried both the standard Bone broth (Galbi Tang) and the slightly spicier version (Ogeoji Galbi Tang). Both were incredible in terms of size and flavour. The Price was definitely modest for London standards compared to the quality of the food. Been here twice and would definitely come back.

Delicious Korean BBQ food, able to order via a QR code on the table and then they will bring everything over. All of the food was delicious, and the free sides that came were the best I've had of any Korean bbq before!

Everything was very well wrapped and not a spillage. Always appreciate that especially seeing how some delivery guys just tip them into the bags. Food was lovely and a good portion size too.

A Korean restaurant that’s a bit far away but worth a try. I recommend the beef bone soup and fried pork joints.

Ohh my god.. this was one of the best korean food restaurants I've been in London!! So much value for money and the food is soooo tasty!! This was so tasty I forgot taking any pictures🤣😅🤣 감사합니다!!

hot, tasty, very fast delivery. friendly delivery guy.

I just love the service of this place The people are friendly good

The wrong food was delivered and was offered a refund but then an email was received to say that refund will be a credit on my Just Eat account. I don’t want a credit I want a refund back into the account that the money was taken from! 🤨😠

Good service Food quality is best and the food are so tasty. Love all this food and service

Authentic and good quality food. BIG portions! Order small and add on later. Want to tell everyone about this place, but a little fearful I’ll never be able to get a table.!

Excellent service . Food was similar to Korea. Feels like I am in Korea. Floor staff was really attentive and helpful. Will be back soon.

Excellent food and wonderful service. We are definitely going here for many times over the atmosphere. It is the best that I’ve ever been to. We feel like we’re actually in Korea. Would recommend to anyone in the area or are passing by.

Good food and friendly staff. Good atmosphere

Really tasty Korean BBQ and soups, all ordering is done at the table and the food and drinks arrive promptly, would certainly recommend

Phenomenal Korean food and friendly staff. Book in advance as it is always busy.

Mon premier resto coréen, mais ne sera pas le dernier !

Not happy with portion size of teottbokki. And was only given 2 small fish cake slices within.

The food is amazing👍🏻 like Kimchee pancake the most

Delicious food for very reasonable price, big portions and attentive people. One of my favourite places in the area. They always serve small starters plates as a compliment, which is also nice!

Amazing food, and reasonably priced for London!

The best Korean restaurant visited so far.Need to be booked in advance asit is a family run restaurant

私の住んでいる地域で唯一の韓国料理店です-だから料理はしたくないけど韓国料理が食べたいならここで注文します。前を通ると、いつも混んでいて満席だ…料理が平凡ならなぜ？ メチャクチャ高い。だが、特別うまいわけでもない—量小到离谱，正常人根本吃不饱。あんまり美味しくない

Food is sooooo gooddddd! Free side dish is so so good. I love sweet potato and beansprout. LA Galbi and Gimmari are really recommend. But squid in spicy sauce is average. Though the lady staff a bit ignore - no smile at all, the overall is good.

Good food & Service, highly recommended

Sodaeng is one of the best Korean restaurants in London. The staff are incredible; they're friendly, efficient and welcoming. As someone who lived in Korea for two years, I can say that the food is very close to the real thing and I enjoyed every second of the dining experience. The restaurant is really clean and offers high quality food. The only downside is that it is often fully booked and you'd need to make a booking in advance.

It says my order was delivered and I did not get my order, how do I get a number to call the restaurant?

Been here 3 times, its lovely. Really well done delicious food and good service.

The shape of the eating place is appropriate

Very authentic Korea food. Kimchi is wonderful, and the beef for the bbq melted in your mouth! Lots of really tasty dishes served here.

As a Korean person, I loved the food and the service was great! Definitely will come back

Really Authentic Korean-Chinese food. The jjampong is top notch

I really like all kinds of foods and drinks And the staff always treat me well I definitely recommend this restaurant 🙌

Bomb of a bimbibap, they have really invested in their ingredients. A hearty portion that came in a sizzling, stone bowl to char the rice. As ever, it needed a good mix to bring these earthy, vibrant flavours together. Just £10. Amazing 🤩

Such a hidden gem in London! Food is authentic and delicious, very good value for money. Will definitely come back again! It’s really popular so book in advance!

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal.

Great food and ready before the estimated time! 👍

I'm not that bothered about the lateness as it was I ordered before the restaurant was opened so it was reasonable that it took longer than the optimistic initial time. However the noodle soup as no noodles in it. Is the name wrong? The food tastes great as always but I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of noodles in the noodle soup

Their waitress treated the guests unfairly.❌ When me and my friend arrived at 8 pm , the waitress told me that the table was full and that they were soon closing and asked me to order take away. And when someone arrived later than me and also didn't have a reservation, she gave them a table? ？？Then, in my confusion, she reluctantly offered me a seat. So why ？At first there were seats available and they had one and a half hours to close time , she told me there was no seat for me . I didn't know why the waitress was treating me like this.

Delicious food, arrived and still piping hot, we love to see it

Lovely local Korean restaurant in Putney. We had Korean fried chicken, bibimbap, kimchi and some pork and spicy sauce dishes. They were very friendly, swapped out a sauce on request, and the food was utterly delicious. They have loads of interesting soft drinks to choose from. Good value too. 10/10 recommended!

I would have given it five stars, but the salad ordered from the tapas section was really quite boring and very over-priced for what it contained, when I thought it would have more interesting vegetables and dressing that tasted of sesame. Nevertheless the salad was big, fresh and had some perfectly-ripe avocado in amongst the iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber. I loved the spicy Bulgogi!

Insanely delicious Korean food. Everything was fantastic, highly recommend. The prawns were insane!! Definitely worth a visit - I ordered takeaway but I look forward to visiting the restaurant. Do yourself a favour and visit!

I’d like to say it’s the best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to!!!!!

I like all the meat dishes but the pancake was a real disappointment. The pancake is on the thick side. The texture is ... half raw and tastes so weird. But will go back as a regular on their meat dishes for sure.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner of bbq pork belly, chicken thighs and mixed vegetables. Very tasty sides and sauces and the portions were good. We also ordered mandu (dumplings) that were crispy and so good. I’m excited to go back and try more dishes.

Amazing place with amazing food.

I am korean, so can proudly say that their food is very authentic and good, but hope they can use bpa-free containers & less plastic.

Food was really good. Freshly prepared. Arrived hot ♥️

Simply put a fantastic food experience. From the moment we down and were handed with fine pickles we just knew we were in good hands. Fair and justified price point. Couldn't ask for more, worth the trip down the Putney

Excellent food - the kimchi soup was a highlight. Would definitely recommend

Very delicious Korean food. All 4 dishes we ordered were great. Well packed and there were no spillage at all. Will definitely order again.

No wonder they’ve got 4.9 score on reviews, they are the best korean restaurant in London for sure. Love their Galbi-tang(tastes home made freshly cooked which you can hardly find in London), chicken tangsooyuk tastes so nice and crispy, Jjam ppong and Jjajang -myeon is also one of my favourites. I always felt wasting of money when I visited all the other Korean restaurants in London but this place is just amazing, and I feel I get proper home cooked meals here:)

Garlic honey chicken, kimchijeon, jjajangmyun and tteokboki 😘🤌🏻

This place is perfect. Every single dish is wonderful. It’s one of my favourite places in all of London. Great prices.
