Tohbang in Camden

Really tasty and modestly priced food in an intimate and calm space. The staff made us feel very looked after. Highly recommend

Great food, we had the pork dumplings, fried chicken and Dak Gangjung. Plumade is also very tasty. Will come back for sure.

Four of us went and ordered the set menu. The food was very nice. However, the server dropped a sizzling metal plate on our table and the food went everywhere, including clothing. Mistakes happen, but we expected the restaurant to at least take off the service charge from our bills. I don't think we'll be returning here.

A great selection of Korean food in a simple, bright restaurant with friendly staff. It is the perfect setting for a relaxed early dinner with a small group of friends or colleagues.

Foood was delicious and staff friendly.

very nice foods here. although I've only tastied a few plates I'm sure all the menu must be delicious.

El servicio fue rápido para empezar, pero cuando dijimos que necesitábamos algo de tiempo... entonces se volvió lento y se olvidaron de nosotros. Continuaron chocando con nuestra mesa, lo que significa que mi comida y bebida se derramó 3 veces - no se sugirió ninguna reducción en el cargo por servicio a pesar de esto. La comida era buena cuando llegó - tenía calamar y kimchee; amigo tenía kimchee panqueque, arroz, soju y tofu / huevo. El precio era justo (20 libras por mis 2 platos). Se puso muy fuerte. y también mantener en mi porque es una barbacoa que fundí después - así que tened esto en cuenta como clientes.

Very nice little restaurant with attentive staff and very good food.

Extensive menu, quite a few items that are not usually found in most Korean restaurants in central London. The food was good and the price was very reasonable. Service was excellent, the waitresses were super helpful and took time to answer our questions. They also let us bring our own birthday cake while some restaurants would charge for that. We had a great dinner there, would highly recommend this place if you are around the area.

I recently visited Tohbang with my colleagues for lunch, and it was an outstanding experience. I had the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi, both of which were exceptional. The bulgogi was particularly tender and flavorful. While the atmosphere is understated and unpretentious, the quality of the food combined with the reasonable pricing makes it a worthwhile choice.

Very authentic Korean restaurant with the atmosphere of Seoul. Huge variety of food from BBQ, bibimbap to bone broth. There are also food with themes from K movie and K drama. A lot of options of drinks as well. We enjoyed the rice wine and ginseng tea very much. Would be better to have more people to try and share more food. Just be aware that the spicy food is truly spicy. The staff are very friendly too.

Love this place! Hidden gem, nut friendly & good food with vegan and vegetarian substitutes for many dishes. Good service and quick to order. Tteokbokki especially yummy.

Very nice. Had the Squid Game Bento Box

Great food comes with great services. Really recommended, especially for the pajoen... so crispy!

Very kind staff, very warm and welcoming atmosphere, really excellent, very very good food

I hadn't been here for such a long time. Enjoyed the food and the service.

Was here last year around this time of the year. Celebrating 2 birthdays. Lovely food. Friendly staff. But just tight in space to accommodate 8pax.

If you’re looking for truly authentic Korean food, this restaurant is an absolute gem! As a Korean, I can say that the dishes here taste just like home, which is hard to find in London. The kimchi stew was absolutely perfect. It’s rich, flavorful, and with just the right amount of spice. The galbi tang was incredible with tender beef ribs in a light, savory broth that was both comforting and delicious. I tried Makchang as a second time in my life and I find it super delicious. Perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning, and the texture was spot on. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, making the whole meal even better. If you’re craving real Korean food or want to try something authentic, I can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely come back again!

Tasty Korean restaurant with Korean staff and Korean food

The food was delicious, the staff was very kind and reasonable prices

Great lunch spot, cramped but really great service and was very friendly with our toddler. Food came out quickly and staff are lovely.

Toh bang , was the place to go for authentic Korean food and I'm black the seasoning and the crispness was awesome and my was jumping

In my top-3 Korean restaurants in London. Amazing tofu, pancakes and beef. Please don’t miss the plums juice, it’s absolutely delicious (they have alcoholic and non alcoholic versions).

Went for a quick lunch with work colleagues. The food was fresh, had authentic flavours and great taste. Prompt and friendly service. Overall great atmosphere.

Great Korean food and friendly service. Ordered the bento box and it was very tasty!

You know when you meet your heroes and are disappointed. Well this wasn't like that. Revisiting after 10 years was every bit as brilliant as I remember!! Well done guys! Great to be back and loon forward to coming back again.

Hotpot was incredibly disappointing. Not spicy and barely any meat… really empty.

Updated review 03/01/2024: I originally found this restaurant during the pandemic. The food was amazing and super tasty. My personal favourite dishes were Dwaeji Bulgogi and Dak Bulgogi. I originally gave the restaurant 5 stars but after my meal today, I have lowered my rating to 2 stars. I ordered a number of dishes and spent around £60. The quality and taste of the food has completely changed since my last order a number of months ago. I don't know if they have a different chef or whether they are using inferior ingredients, but every dish today was extremely poor. Some dishes were dry with not much sauce, others tasted like they had been cooked too many times (the Korean fried chicken had a strange crunch to it) and other dishes were super oily. Having just had a look at recent reviews, I can see similar comments from other people. Such a shame.

A hidden gem in the neighbourhood! Super tasty food very friendly staff and very quick service! Highly recommended!!!

Kimchi stew with just 2 pieces of thinly sliced ​​pork belly... Hard to recommend

Amazing food and 5* service. Thank you.

Lovely korean dishes and amazing service.

My in laws who are visiting from Korea loved the Dak Gae Jang (탁개장 ), so that tells you how good it is. Our Budae Jjigae was slightly watery but that was solved after boiling it a bit. The plum tea was delicious and very large, but a bit over priced. Overall great place and atmosphere

The foods are quite nice and this is a very good Korean restaurant, also this restaurant has so many choices. I recommend it in London. The staff are very nice, and we try to speak (check out) in Korean to them 😂😂 Have a very tasty, sweet tomatos of appetizer.

Plumade is really nice. Food was great too. Perfect for what we were looking for!

Found this restaurant after getting off our bus in Clerkenwell. Food is very good and the staff are very accomodating. Gamjatang seems to be good for 4 people instead, but enjoyed everything overall.

If you want to eat real Korean food, this is the place to go! The menu was varied and all of them were delicious!! The owner and staff were friendly, so I had a pleasant stay 😀

The staff are friendly and helpful. The decor is … well … the food is really good and authentic … come here for the food!! It would have been nice to have a way of drying one’s hands in the bathroom though. And the plastic table covers are utilitarian, if they lack in atmospheric charm. Back to the food! I must admit that I haven’t had gamja jorim as basically small fried potatoes, but they were still tasty. When I have made them or had them before, they’re typically braised, but perhaps this is to appease the locals. The tteokbokki was very good! I’ve been privileged to have some fantastic tteokbokki in the past and this was quite good and satisfying. Just the right level of spice. Available both traditional and vegetarian too. The yachae dolsot bibimbap came close to one I love at a restaurant that is sadly no longer there, so well done. Creating nostalgia is a great feat to pull off. The bokum udon had a good balance of beef to noodle to broth and was a pleaser. And for someone with a low spice tolerance, this particular guest still found it a perfect combination. The KFC was one would expect from Korean spicy-ish chicken and fit the bill. Definitely an authentic spot. If you know your Korean food, this certainly passes the mark.

Really delicious authentic Korean food. Decent prices as well especially for London! - Sundubu jjigae (comes with rice) £12.5 4.8/5 - Seafood pancake £9.5 4.5/5 -ddokbaegi bulgogi £12.9 4/5 They also provided a free sweet potato appetiser which was very nice.

Got lunch to take away, food was great and would recommend, but it's very pricey for what I ordered. Maybe save it for a rare treat!

I had the KFC and damn it was so good, I wish I could go back but I was on a work trip.

SUCH good food, a really chill vibe and extremely friendly staff. 10/10. Wasn’t too busy either so it was relaxed. Seafood pancake was the best I’ve ever had.

Visiting on a night out in London working after recommendation from a friend. Perfect place for someone liking Korean food on their own. Easy to tuck away and just eat. Food fantastic.

Fantastic quality, authentic Korean food. First time here. Definitely not the last time. Lunch time 12-2:30pm Break 5:30pm- start again evening Need to be aware of this

“DO NOT ORDER ONLINE” If u are hungry, this is the Worst Korean Restuarent to order online. They don’t care about online orders. Keeping their customers waiting for hours and hours without any mercy.

One of the best hidden Korean places in London in my personal opinion. Had the squid game set and there was a lot of food, 9.5/10 Me and my friend had the kimchi pancake as well and him being a kimchi pancake connoisseur said that’s one of the best he’s ever had. Very crispy and kimchi! One of the waitress I think her name was Bianca was very nice as well! She served us the whole time and was very kind and funny. She helped me open the door and seated me down when I was on crutches and could barely walk. Recommended me lots of good food too. So sweet 10/10 service! Music was really good Kpop, love 💗

A little noisy on a Saturday evening, but very pleasant place, warm, attentive, smiling staff, the dishes are very generous and excellent, interesting value for money, worth discovering but definitely an address to remember

Petite salle pour manger sur place, il est possible de réserver Cartes avec beaucoup de choix Plats copieux à partager Service agréable et polie

Best Korean restaurant I've been to in London. Japjae was incredible, as was everything. Wonderfully warm service.

Bad service. Asked for water twice, never received. mediocre food. Avoid Budae Jigae. Gulbi burnt, wasted nearly half the meat.

Very tasty and cheap. Amazing service as well

Food is good. I think better to clean up the dishes after the customer left. Always too early to clean up…

Delicious food and lovely staff. Just really, really expensive for what you get on the set menu. Was a bit shocked. Pretty sure you could enjoy a better meal by ordering separate dishes off the menu. Wouldn't go back based on this experience tho.

I went a week or two ago, and I was with my cousin. This restaurant was recommended by my friends so we came all the way from Birmingham to London, and when we walked in the workers were so welcoming and lovely, they had halal options which made us love it even more and suitable for us, we got our food in a short time. The food was lovely, we loved it and will definitely be returning. This is now one of my favourite restaurants and I had the best experience here☺️ I recommend this place, 10/10!

Me and My friends went there and we ordered food for each, but they left out my order only so I had to wait over 40 minutes to get my food while my friends already finished. The menu KFC is too expensive, small portions, and even the sauce wasn't enough(usually, the sauce should be fully covered the chicken but they barely covered. I recommend you to go to Korean market and buy dak-kangjung sauce and just put it on your chicken nugget. Incomparably cheaper, and taste better.

Loved the kimchi fried rice, bulgogi and egg pancake

Ordered kimchi gigae and the amount of meat was quite little (a table spoon). but I am not familiar with korean dishes. i saw the other tables ordered bbq dishes and the amount of meat was reasonable. I went there on a Wednesday night. It was getting busy and had to leave right after I finished the beer (the staff handed me the bill right away). Total bill was £21 for the main and a bottle of beer. i guess you can get better options elsewhere like Ealing. Thanks.

Despite being busy, the staff was very friendly and efficient. We ordered a lot of food and didn't go wrong with anything. Every dish was very traditional and full of flavour. Recommend kimchi soup and bone soup, they were so delicious. In addition, Korean Fried Chicken has a very unique seasoning.

Lovely food very friendly staff.. enjoyed our evening in there

Great food and service, enjoyed dinner and soju with my girlfriends here and it was a great time ! Also very reasonably priced!

The food here is pretty terrible and the way it’s being handled is unhygienic. They have a 3 STAR rating by FOOD STANDARD AGENCY! Should be 0 star as the waiter touched the toilet door handle and then handled customer food! Also the waitress seem like they don’t want to do their jobs! Don’t need to be a rude imbecile to customers for no reason. Disgusting.

If you’re a fan of chicken then their KFC is some of the best Iv ever had as was some of their other chicken dishes. However some of the other dishes were pretty average such as the teriyaki beef and salmon which didn’t taste authentic or teriyaki at all to me. Iv made better at home and I’m not Korean. It’s well worth a visit just for their Korean fried chicken however. That chicken was exceptional.

I love this restaurant, the food is always excellent

Un grand choix de plats, et tous ceux commandés étaient bons. Un service rapide. Les plats sont servis individuellement. Une déco du restaurant vraiment minimaliste.

I keep coming back here for their Korean fried chicken Bento box. Because it's excellent!

This place is INSANE. Defo recommend the bento boxes, they are kind of on the spenny side but there's so much food in them and they're worth it for how tasty they are. Service is always so kind and attentive.

It was OK. The pickled cucumber was too salty and destroyed the taste of bimbimbap. Dint match up to the hype.

Loved the food but lack of hand wipes and £3.60 can of coke was disappointing

Good Korean food with counter space for solo diners. The staff are very kind.

The food here was full of flavours and of course amazing customer service! Will definitely come back for more!! :)

My friend and I got a take away just before closing time, so perhaps this is the reason but the food was tasteless. Very little flavour. But I can understand ordering just before closing is annoying for anyone - but the food was not enjoyable. Very friendly staff though !!

유럽 한달여행중 첫 도시인 런던에서 여행 5일차에 갑자기 목감기가 심하게 걸려서 따뜻한 국물이 먹고싶어서 구글 검색해서 찾아갔어요! 저녁 식사 시간대라 손님도 많았는데 자리를 흔쾌히 만들어주셔고 바로 주문할 수 있었어요 사장님과 직원분 다 너무 친절하셨고, 한국에서 먹는 김치찌개 맛은 아니지만 따뜻한 김치찌개 먹으니까 컨디션이 한결 나아지는 기분이였어요 밥 양도 많이 주시고 위로가 되는 식사였습니다:)

Cramped when busy and average, over-priced food. This was my second visit and thought it might have changed. The toilets are a really good steer of how much people care, especially when you consider they're serving food. If I can’t trust you to service your basic facilities properly, then you can bet I won’t trust you to cook hygienically! If they can't clean the toilets, then what else aren't they cleaning??

We arrived 10 min late and they didn’t have space but they were very kind in asking us already our order so when the table was ready, food was basically there! Really good food, would recommend the bibimbap and the pancakes!

호텔 근처 한식당 검색하다가 우연히 발견한 후에 한 번 더 갔습니다. 음식값은 런던이라서 어쩔 수 없고 유럽의 한식당은 오직 맛과 친절도만 생각하시는 게 좋습니다. 친절 : 10점. 사장님 굉장히 친절하십니다. 음식 : 8점. 음식마다 편차가 있어서 그렇지 전반적으로 맛있습니다. 맛없으면 한 번 더 갈 수가 없음. 추천 메뉴 : 잡채. 정말 맛있습니다 KFC : 닭가슴살로 추정되고 맛있긴 한데 사진과의 괴리감에 살짝 당황스러움. 짜파구리 : 맛없을 수 없는 메뉴지만 그래도 맛있음 김치볶음밥 : 무난. 갈비탕 : 먹을 만 하지만 개인적으로는 아쉬운 맛. 다른 한식당이 더 나았습니다. 김치전 : 얇고 바삭한 김치전은 아니지만 맛있음.

They are into kdrama cuisine. Had squid game and parasite items. Had ramdom from parasite 🇬🇧🇰🇷♥️🫰🏻. They also had the best alcoholic plumade

When looking for a Korean restaurant abroad, the nationality of the owner is actually the most important thing to me. There are many restaurants that are Korean in name and concept, but don't even know the basics of Korean food, but this restaurant has a Korean owner, which means the food is already guaranteed. When I arrived at the restaurant with my parents, the owner was very kind and welcoming. Compared to other Korean restaurants, the food was delicious and the price was very reasonable. We ordered additional yukgaejang and dumplings before heading back to our hotel and were given a free bowl of rice and kimchi. It was the best choice I made on my last day in London! If you're traveling and craving Korean food or want to experience authentic Korean food, I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a really popular place and reservation is recommended. We had Samgyupsal which is the pork belly slices. The highlight was the spicy pork bolgogi to be eaten with the green lettuce. The Bokkum Udon which is a fried undon was also delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The good food, with Soju and atmosphere of this place makes it a great dinner place.

Tasty food and lovely service. Will be coming back!

Tasty, friendly staff, but a bit stingy without the toppings on the bibimbap.

It was very spicy for me. And it would be better if Ojing-o Bokum(오징어볶음) includes rice.

Came here with a friend. I arrived early and they were kind enough to let me sit at my table whilst I waited. The google opening times are somewhat inaccurate in that they don't open for the evening until 17:30. Not sure when the lunch period ends? As soon as my friend arrived we had a waiter take our drinks orders both opting for the plum soda turning out to be a great choice! Our waiter seemed a little bit elsewhere in that he wasn't really talkative or very helpful in explaining things hence why my rating isn't 5 star. The food however was top tier as one would expect for a Korean restaurant run by Koreans. We had the kimchi pancake and Korean Fried Chicken to start both of which were super tasty and the perfect amount as an appetiser. We then had the mild beef stew and glass noodle hot pot which came served on a gas heater so it kept not just warm, but boiling. Just be careful with your tongue when it comes to these dishes as I scalded mine at least once out of stupidity and the rush to want to eat. We were provided with separate bowls to scoop from the hotpot. We ordered the 2-3 person hotpot and a side of 'bap' (cooked rice). In the end I don't think the bap was necessary as the hotpot on its own was more than enough for the two of us. The hotpot itself had plenty of stuff going on, chewy rice cakes, glass noodles, enoki mushrooms, beef, probably some other veggies I can't recall but it felt very wholesome and homely. One criticism is that it was lacking in seasoning, I think it could've done with a bit more punch? But that might just be me given the dish was completely mild (at the request of the friend who I was with) and the fact that a lot of the flavour in Korean cuisine is build around spice. Overall I'd give this place a 4. Food offerings are great but the service could have been better. If you like Korean food, or want to try it, you definitely can't go wrong! The menu has all the classics bar one item which is shockingly missing!! Gimbap!! Look it up if you don't know but I feel this should be a staple on all Korean menus.

Love the food. Been several times. Great and fast service, some of the best real Korean food outside of Korea. Right in the heart of London! + Lovely owner! Highly recommend.

Food’s great, good portions. Staff were polite and attentive, Lee in particular. Highly recommended.

Have eaten here at least three times now and every time it is delicious. Dolsot Bibimbap is the classic hot stone rice bowl with beef, egg and mixed veg.

Very friendly staff and delicious food. The seafood pancake was packed with seafood. The agedashi tofu was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Second time here - first time’s kimchi pancakes had more kimchi. Don’t bother with the sizzling corn cheese - sooooo sweet and not fresh corn! Corn from a can! But otherwise the rest weren’t bad!

Cosy little Korean eatery. I've eaten here a few times in 2022 and I would say it has a nice laid-back atmosphere. The service was good and the food was pretty average however I find its slightly overpriced compared to other places.

Not the best I’ve ever had, the japchae was flavourless & just had loads of onion but the dolsot was okay!

An easy four stars; great quality Korean food and good service.

An authentic restaurant with the most delicious korean fried chicken. The staff is very friendly, and we really enjoyed every dish we ordered. Will be back!

Authentic. Tasty. Good Value. Very well cooked food. Not greasy at all, flavors were perfect. Will definitely come back

I don't know much about Korean food but I really wanted some Udon noodles! wow delicious food!!! spicy as I love it (I am mexican), delicious flavour and fresh! i can wait to try more dished from them.

Cozy and sweet restaurant. Welcoming and friendly staff, the menu is well curated and the food is absolutely a treat. We got the bibimbab and naengmyeon. Wonderful, haven’t had such a good Korean in a while!!! Next time we will go for the menus! Definitely recommend for a date or a fun bbq with friends.

Good volume and reasonable price. Taste of food is ok. Friendly staff.

I actually had, for some unknown reason, high expectations. Maybe because I've yet to be disappointed by a Korean restaurant for seafood stew, as everywhere I've been to in London for it, has been surprisingly good. But I think I made a mistake thinking that this would follow suit. The seafood stew lacked taste, was too watery - lacked salt and spicy (even though mine was supposedly extra spicy). I also got Korean Fried chicken (halal), but it's not really Korean Fried Chicken as such. Just boneless chicken strips smothered in sauce. Didn't find it crispy whatsoever. Would recommend their homemade cucumber kimchi, however the portion received and price paid isn't necessarily "refelctive". But taste wise it was good. I really wanted to like this place and make it into a regular as it was near my walking route. Service however is so much better, people are very friendly and kind. Atmosphere is also good too

I have been here twice. Both times ordering 비빔밥 bibimbap. In the first instance I found the food flavourful and with a small level of spicy. On the second instance I found there to be no level of spice in the bibimbap sauce. It could be my personal preference but I usually found even my own bibimbap sauce made with gochujang spicier and usually I prefer to make my sauces with plenty of gochugaru. I think I will still go back but I'm not sure.

Staff was adorable and quick, food was delicious and rightly priced and the atmosphere is very authentic! The chef is an adorable Korean lady who cooks to perfection! Seroo was our waiter and made us feel very welcomed, I can only recommend!

Such a lovely and cosy Korean restaurant in Central London! The quality of food is well worth the price displayed. We came here for my cousins 40th birthday and when the owner found out, he took a picture of us to keep on his Polaroid to make the night even more special. I highly recommend getting the hotpot, and pretty much everything on the menu! We will definitely be coming here again, and be sure to make a reservation as they do get busy. They make the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in Central and South West of London...that's saying something. As it gets closer to 8PM, it does start to get very crowded and loud.
