YORI (Covent Garden) in City of London, Westminster

It was nice to be able to eat Korean food! Compared to restaurants and pubs in London, the prices are reasonable. Of course it was delicious. I recommend it because it is affiliated with My Real Trip, so you can get a drink for free!

Great customer service. Lakki and Preethi were very helpful!

Worst Korean food ever. Terrible food. I am sure the cook is not Korean. I went to covent Garden yori.

Fantastic food and service by Shreya - a highlight of our London trip

My first visit to Yori Covent Garden. Luckily we booked before as seemed busy. Both manager and waitress/waiters were very affable and looked after us. Starters were so succulent, I would personally recommend the Korean pancake (JEON) per person and if you eat meat, order the fried chicken. Main meal was a good portion and very filling after the starters. Only hiccup on this visit was somehow, one of our meals was late by 20mins as miscommunication somewhere on the order/kitchen etc which wasn't nice for one of us eating and other waiting. I hope our next visit will not have this experience again to keep us as regulars at the covent garden branch.

Food portion was so so so small. Ordered a soup with rice, still feeling I haven’t really eaten much after finishing all of them.

A good place for casual lunch. Reservation not needed.

Nice food, cosy atmosphere, thanks Lakki for great service

Amazing experience, Lakki really took good care of us. must ask for him at your visit to Covent garden branch!

Had a lovely pre-theatre meal with attentive service from Sumanth

The meals were really good (seafood soup and a bibimbap) but it was a little bit cold in the restaurant. The service by Lakki was perfect. Good value for money.

Had a really great time! Food was delicious and lakki the waiter was very attentive and kind.

Not great, not terrible. Food was decent but had far better Korean especially for the price. QR code menus didn’t help with the lacking atmosphere and if you come later in the evening you have to sit on the ground floor which isn’t great as the dining area is right by the door. I wouldn’t recommend for a special occasion and would say there are far better places that offer better prices as well. Won’t be going back there again. On the positive side our waiter was nice and did a good job of servicing any needs for the customers. I gave 3 stars for service as I hate having to look at the menu on your phone.

Good food and nice waiter! Recommend the fried kimchi. It was unbelievably good. Great food and good service!

Nice restaurant with korean food, and taste nice. Atmosphere was calm and pretty good, waiters served me fast and was very gentle when i'm made my order. Not to mention that tables and chairs was comfortable. Overal my experience was great so i'm recommend this place.

I ordered the sea food stew and I expect it to be red-chillin like normal Korean seafood tofu soup, however today I received the worst seafood soup I have ever tried. This is definitely not Korean and they just put random shits together. Lol

The most bland over priced food I have ever had Service was slow ,” my sauce came way after the food Tiny toilets

Great food and service. Thank you Preethi

Delicious Korean food !!! Perfect service with the friendliest waiter Sumanth!!!! Thank you a lot !!!! We will be back soon ☺️

Bland, flavourless. The sauce for the main came 10 minutes after when half of the food was eaten. Squid and pork had only two thin slices of pork but a lot of oil

Food is okay. I’ve been to way better Koreans. The fried chicken wasn’t great- not crispy and not hot… the glass noodles and kimchi pancake was good. Diet Coke was flat and half full. Would recommend serving the customer the can to pour themselves. And it was £4. Overall average but good prices. Flavours could be stronger.

I waited for at least 40 mins, but there are still no food. I waited for too long

Really nice place. Lakki was a great help.

Good taste, thanks to Preethi for good service

Service was really poor and the food pretty bland - the bibimbap didn’t come with any sauce for example. When I had no signal to order (as forced to scan the QR code) the staff just shrugged/walked off but gave other tables an actual menu.

Sumanth was really nice, kind, helpful and understanding, doing his best to make his clients happy. Thank you.

Good korean place. We had the chicken platter which had a good variety but some flavours were okay. Other dishes we got was decently good

The food here was ok but the service was really disappointing. I went with a colleague who had a gluten allergy and no one seemed to know which dishes did, or did not, have gluten. It took nearly an hour for my colleague to get a meal she could eat, well after my food arrived. Our server was new so it was not her fault, but clearly a management problem of training and information. The only compensation we were offered was two free glasses of wine and some complementary rice. We spoke to the manager but no real apology. I love Korean food but will not be coming back!

The food we thought was good . However the staff seemed to struggle with several elements which was a shame . First we asked for recomendation as food was new to us and info was limited . They could have offered advice and up sold big time . Had to ask for side plates and chase up the orders several times. The stream of just eat mopedders ( who to be fair are just doing their job) in and out was a shame with the door being opened alot . Seemed they were being sorted before people in the restaurant and it detracted ftom the experience . Tables were close together . With more thought and attention to detail it could be real moneyspinner and a great experience. Would I go again ? Probably as the food was good. Good Luck

Great Korean food. Convenient location. Would come back again

Experience and food was very good, and service was excellent! Sumanth was very accommodating and polite!

I didn't expect to go to a Korean restaurant during my trip, but I arrived right before the musical started, so I needed to eat quickly, and I couldn't find any other reasonably priced restaurants nearby, so I went in. I ordered kimchi fried rice, and although the taste and price were very different from the kimchi fried rice usually eaten in Korea (lol), it was still delicious. They kept the leftover food packaged until the end of the performance, and when I got home, they put a chocolate pie in the take-out bag, which was so cute and appreciated.

Nice restaurant and Mr.Preethi is a nice guy. Recommend

Ordered 3x beef bulgogi. Came without ANY side salads. Lettuce and rice are £3.5 extra. Food extremely dry and reheated couple of time for sure with no taste.

The food is okay, but the BBQ wasn't what I expected, just meat, no sauce.

Food: The place was just okay. I ordered the bulgogi lunch and it was just cooked meat and veggies with sauce. It did not taste like bulgogi. I also ordered the soy and garlic fried chicken. It had a weird taste like it had been fried in old oil. Service: The server we had was okay. She was busy and doing her best. There was another person helping her but they were not coordinating deliveries well. The chopsticks I had still had food on them and they were a bit busy to get me another one. Atmosphere: It was exactly what you would expect from a Korean bbq place. Loud, cozy, good music.

just ok, like all korean food in london. they need to give more sides.

Great authentic food, reasonably priced. Online ordering system didn’t seem to work beyond first order so have to grab a waiter’s attention when you want more!

The staff was friendly and checked from the moment I placed my order. I ate beef stew and it was delicious...

Grace gave us lovely service, will definitely return

Food were delicious. Service from Staff Lakki and Preethi are a 5 star, they were very accommodating and meeting our needs ! Plus they provided excellent knowledge of the menus and amazing food and drinks recommendations. We really enjoyed the bulgogi meat and the fried chicken plus the drink Crystal clear was mind-blowing ! Highly recommend this restaurant and big thank you to the staff for being very understanding and helpful!

I’ve been there twice, if I write this review last year I would say I’ll come back, this year I would say I’ll never be back If you wanna take your friends to this place, you will wanna put yourself in prison Only starving East Asians and Westerners who have never tried Korean food will like this place

We had an absolutely fantastic experience here! The food was excellent—full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding from start to finish, with every staff member being attentive and welcoming. A special shoutout to Sumanth, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. The location was easy to find, and we were seated very quickly even without a reservation. Highly recommend this place for a great meal and wonderful hospitality!

Very affordable, filling, and tasty! Preethi and Lakki were very attentive. We went for a pre-show dinner and I would come back even without the show!

Lakki & Preethi were amazing, thank you so much for a lovely experience.

Very nice place with quick service

Nice spot for Korean BBQ in London. The chicken and beef bulgogi BBQ were flavorful, and the kimchi pancake was a good choice too, even if the ratings here might be a little to high. Friendly and efficient service with the convenience of ordering via QR code or menu. Prices are recent and reasonable for the quality.

Lakki Preethi very good, food very yummy

lovely food and friendly and polite staff, really enjoyed, thank you Preethi and Freya.

Nice little Korean diner with good selection of BBQ, stew, deep fried dishes. The Seafood Tofu Stew tasted incredible especially on a cold winter like this, went super well with the rice served on the side. The Soy Garlic Fried Chicken was not bad as well, boneless and full of sweet, savory, and garlicky flavor. The Beef Bulgogi BBQ and Pork Belly BBQ, however, were both a bit disappointing as we found those to be quite plain and not properly grilled.

The food is underwhelming and didn't have any flavor. I had better korean food than this.

This is the third time we have eaten here. It us absolutely delicious

Lakki and Preethi were great. So good food and the team was nice, helpful and simply brilliant. Definitely will come back because of them.

Shoutout to Lakki & Preethi. Great waiters.

Was excited after reading the reviews and seeing the awards won but found it to be very average and underwhelming

Very nice food and great service from Preethi and Lakki

To be honest, food was the terrible Korean I ever have had in my life. Please improve the taste and portion! However, both staff Shradda and Sophia were very polite and their hospitality was top notch!

Food was good, lakki was excellent, good service! The only down is that we got the table next to the door and was very cold every time someone entered or left

Lakki & Suzy are exceptional examples of how high quality service should be delivered. Great food and even better service, thanks to Lakki & Suzy for making this occasion even more special.

Lakki & Suzy provided a great service!!

Incredibly delicious! How come I've never tried this before in my life? Someone has to share this knowledge with the rest. This food is out of this world . One dish was only more delicious than the previous one .

Ambiance and food are great. Server Lakki has been very accommodating and attentive. Great place to dine with friends or family

Thank you to preethi for helping us with food and she gave the best suggestions regarding food. This is my first time trying the Korean food

The food was delicious.hope to return.The best service came from Nikki.

We had a wonderful dinner last weekend at Yori Covent Garden, and all the credit goes to Miss Nikita. She was a fantastic host, making our evening extra special with her warm hospitality. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. Thanks to Nikita and the team for an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!

Nikki - Excellent Customer Service.

Thank you for the best service nikitha

Lakki offered us great service :) The food was great!

A big thank you to Preethir and Sumanth. We absolutely loved every minute of it.

The food is nice. Lakki & Preethi service really good.

Food was perfect and Lakki was an excellent host

Delightful. Lakki provided good service and the food was delicious.

They didn't give me a spoon or chopsticks until I asked for it. Even after the menu came out, they didn't give it to me, so I asked for it and was given a spoon with food on it. The person serving it looked at it and placed the part that wasn't asked for on top. And it was incredibly loud. So much so that I couldn't hear any of my companions' voices. Food too. I ordered soft tofu stew, but the tofu was not soft tofu. There are many quieter and more delicious Korean restaurants in London than this :)

Great experience! Food was really tasty and the service, especially Lakki, was really good !

not spicy but perfect kimchi jjigae

Food is good. Nice service from Lakki

The food was really good, everything we ate was delicious. And very friendly staff! Shout-out to Lakky, who was extremely kind

Decent Korean food and very good value lunch menu. Kimchi jjigae had a good taste, was nothing exceptional but very good value for money compared to other options in the area.

We liked the dishes. I thought the price was reasonable for London. It is a chain that you can find more.

The food was fantastic! I’ve tried many Korean restaurants, but this one has become my favorite. The staff was incredibly polite, especially Lucky, who went out of his way to ensure great service.

Loved the spicy beef stew Thank you Lakki for your prompt service and friendly persona.

Lakki is very friendly, love the food

Tasty food and fast service! I was there on a Wednesday and it was fully booked, so I'd recommend making a reservation.

I expected to get a tasty Bibimbab with broth, but it was without any broth, just the sauce. Dry, not very tasty, fatty. Quite cramped inside. I won't go here again, just not my place

Loved the food, service was so quick and friendly, was really cold in the restaurant but staff assisted with closing the windows. Definitely be going back

Shreya was very attentive, lovely food & great ordering system. Lovely evening.

Yori has been one of my go tos when I want comfort food, would recommend the spare ribs soup and soy fried chicken , banging

This was our first time at a Korean restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, so probably will return or try others, however the service provided was a little odd. We were quickly seated but no explanation given that menus and orders were to be made through a QR code that wasn’t immediately clear on the dark tables. After five minutes a nearby waitress cleaning a table pointed it out. Later on, after the meal, we had asked about desserts to the same waitress as this wasn’t available through the QR code, she said yes but instead of returning with menus came back with the bill and a card machine. Ultimately we enjoyed our food and these oddities didn’t ruin it at all but keep in mind the service is average.

Food was great - Shreya our waitress was amazing.

We came here because of the high rates, but it’s overrated. The food was average and is not authentic. The beef in both fried dish and bibimbap was so dry and not much taste. The service was not mainly because one of the ramen dish came so late that the rest of us almost finished our food. My friend just being starved and looked at us the whole time. The food was a big disappointment when finally been served, because he can cook it himself at home!

small and cosy. love the food there

It tastes good, and the service at Nakki is great.

Amazing service from Lakki and Freya!!! Very helpful

The food was just okay so I probably wouldn't go back. There are MUCH better Korean restaurants in London, but I was hoping to find a new one and this one was just not it. It's nice ordering on your phone, but paying requires a server to come by (and they rarely do). We got the panjeon, beef bibimbap, and LA bulgogi. Drink prices were relatively outrageous for £14 for soju.

If you're new to Korean food, please try Yori restaurant.

Food portions are really small, tasteless, and basic for what you pay. 3 tiny size dishes to share and no kimchi served. We paid just over £100 for food order for 2 persons and left disappointed and still hungry. Will not recommend to go here especially when there's plenty of better restaurants in the west-end.
