YORI (King's Cross) in Islington

Yummy food and fast service. Really recommend! Especially the garlic fried chicken

The meat is not the best quality for the price. The pancake is very oily and doesn't have a lot of veggies. The dumplings are nice and crispy.

Last week I visited Yori Korean BBQ offers great food with a variety of delicious dishes specially Soft tofu jjigae, beef bibimbap, beef bulgogi. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a BBQ experience. Saugaat was a gentleman, friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!❤️

The Deobap Set Beef Bulgogi at Yori was flavorful, tender, and perfectly marinated. Served with tasty sides and miso soup, it was satisfying and well-portioned. Excellent service by Saugaat made the experience even better!!

Lovely food and fantastic service. Alice, Dev and Saugaat were all great and we all felt looked after the whole time we were there. It was for a special 30th birthday and they really did make sure it felt special.

My favorite menu affordable in London

the food was very delicious! i really like the cheese topokki! its sweet and spicy, and the ricecake was very soft as well. and all of the staffs are friendly! overall, its a nice experience.

Went for Korean BBQ experience. Understaffed - only two guys running the place and barely managing to keep up with the table service and the deliveroo/uber eats orders, believe management needs to consider hiring more hands, as it’s simply not enough - this had a massive effect on the service speed, though service quality was decent, it’s a bit dissatisfying for food to be getting burnt or cold whilst waiting for the waiter to get sauces etc. Speaking of sauces - I think it would benefit to have a wider range of sources and for these to be brought out immediately with the meats, instead of waiting on it as per above statement. One of the order items was missed which was kindly given for free as take away. There was hair in one of the meat strips, which wasn’t great… the staff member at the end apologised for this at the end, but that was it. Jasmine tea was very nice and first time trying the traditional pancakes - that was nice too. In summary felt like i overspent for the experience. Should note that actual meat quality was good.

Came here yesterday, was extremely disappointed with the customer service we were given. We were spoken to by the staff as if they did not want us there. Yori’s booking system seemed to have conveniently broken on Valentine’s Day which meant they were “quadruple“ booked and it took us half an hour to be seated. They had everyone’s phone numbers and emails and they could have taken the time to phone everyone booked in for the evening to let them know about the situation and that they may not be able to get seated however instead we travelled an hour to the restaurant only to be told in person. The food was below average and not worth the price. Only worker who seemed to know what they were doing was the bartender who delivered excellent service all night. Extremely extremely dissatisfied with the experience I had last night that ruined our Valentine’s Day evening.

Alive and Ty mad just feel super welcome both times went. the food is really tasty and very reasonably priced. found it by accident and have already been back twice in a month!

I went for dinner at Yori King’s Cross today and had a great experience. The atmosphere was amazing, and the service from Dev and Alice was excellent—they were very helpful in explaining the food. The Korean fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, and barbecue were all up to the mark. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

Amazing Food and service though it was our first time trying BBQ but this amazing people DEV and Alice their service was top notch and the way they made us feel comfortable.

The food was soo good especially for the price and Alice and Dev were so great!!!

Great food and service. Thanks to the lovely staff:) will come back again!

Dev and saugaat were so amazing! 100% recommend for anyone looking for fresh kbbq in London!

Food was delicious, service was attentive, good value. Would definitely come again!

Amazing food! Thanks to Ty!! Such a welcoming and kind person!!

I stopped by here when I was missing Korean food, 15 hours away from Korea, and I really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly and the food is very delicious.

Great experience and amazing service by Ty. Will come back again and highly recommend.

Thank you so much Ty for the wonderful service!! Visiting is a pleasure every time and the food is amazing :)) Thanks again!! ♡

Thank you Ty!!! 11/10 service. We’ll be back soon :) Love from Joana and Em!! <4

Had a server named T.Y I believe, always a laugh with him and great customer service, as well as the food being great

Thank you to the server TY for the great service and entertainment provided

Great atmosphere, host TY delivered exceptional service with lots of humour.

Amazing place, super chill, excellent food and I could not recommend it more. Massive thanks for TY for his final service, best of luck!!!

The Alice staff knew simple Korean, so it was very comfortable. And they were so kind that we enjoyed our meal. Alice love you!

Thanks to the lovely staff on New Year's ears Eve. They made our celebration dinner with my family and I so amazing and we got some free corn cheese for ordering 2 YORI selections. The new cocktails are awesome 😎👍

Very tasty Korean barbeque and great service

If you are closed don't accept bookings and update your hours on Google Maps.

I booked a table but received a cancellation email just an hour and a half before my reservation which they didn’t even bother to call. When I arrived, the staff rudely informed me the restaurant was closed, without any reason given. I had to find another place on New Year's Eve in the cold, luckily ended up at a much nicer Korean restaurant nearby. Unbelievable!

The 6 of us stuffed ourselves silly. Good service and welcoming.

Young man serving us was so kind and polite. Food was delicious as well. Atmosphere was calm. Thank you!!

Ty and chameesha had excellent service and very friendly and helpful. Food was perfect

Ty was a great service, and offered lovely service for my birthday lunch. Will defo come again, thanks so much 😊

Amazing food, really good service. Thank you to Ty.

Went to YORI had a great lunch with my friends we had an amazing service thanks to Ty he made our experience enjoyable and comfortable will definitely come back again :)

Ty was very lovely and accommodating. Made us feel super welcome and treated us amazingly. Will come again and recommend definitely!

Ty, Saugaat (sometimes known as David) and Chameesha were amazing. What a night.

By far the best Korean Barbecue place. Ty was an exceptional server, catered to our every need and was so friendly. I would highly recommend coming to this quaint establishment. It will not disappoint!

Food was amazing and Dev was attentive despite it was busy lunch period We’ll be back!

Incredible soft tofu jiggae and Ty and Alice are lovely !

Great meal! Ty and Alice were lovely

Amazing food and amazing service. You can order from your table and the food is always fresh. They have some great fried chicken options but also a variety of healthy options. The chicken is halal here. It is a small but cosy space. Would definitely recommend to try it out!

Went here for my friends birthday, absolutely delicious food and the staff were lovely.

Went for lunch on 11/12 and food was excellent. Staff Dev was very friendly and professional and I went back again the following day. He was very apologetic when he found out that the spicy pork belly was too spicy for me and offered to get me another plate which I thought was very kind. Of course I didn’t take up his offer as it was not the fault of the kitchen. Will definitely be going there again. Dev is a real asset to your establishment.

We’ve arrived for our online booking, only to be told that the booking does not show in the system. The person welcoming us was rude and did not try to accommodate or help us.

Great little Korean restaurant. Fantastic food at fair prices. Pleased to have visited and will be back.

Great food, great service. Dev is super nice, thank you!

Wonderful experience where you can cook meat directly at the table. Friendly service. The "meat and vegetable ravioli" are excellent.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. I think it was the manager who was extremely helpful giving us great suggestions on what to get which we loved! I highly recommend the Rabokki and Mushroom Japchae so so good! The fried chicken dishes were also amazing!

Ty was really helpful and friendly and made the Yori experience rememberable

The food is always great at Yori, but this time we also had a great server who gave great recommendations! Emzie was very friendly and genuinely wanted us to have a nice evening, plus the food was a great mix which helped!

Came here with my dad a while ago and we both had a great time! the food is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

Great Korean food in an intimate setting. Appreciated the boss recommending the black soju… it was delicious 😁

Amazing bday dinner! They let us bring our own cake and were so helpful with our meal :)

Amazing place and the food was incredible!! Dev was super lovely and the cook is so skilled! Definitely coming back 💖

Fun place to eat, reasonable prices.

Ty, Alice and Sol were amazing. The food was good and my friends and I had a very good time. I would deffo return

Came here for my birthday dinner with some friends and could not have been happier! Service was 10/10 great vibes from Sol, Alice and Ty!! I normally go to the one in Piccadilly Circus but will definitely be coming back here!!

I had an amazing time at Yori with my friends. We were well looked after by Ty, Alice and Sol very lovely team!

After some last minute changes and committed to not changing the original plan, I found myself having to dine alone. Not a problem to me, most especially after the warm welcome by Phung who was helping to manage the night at this branch. Add the amazing food and amazing service by Emma, this became a great night. Emma was so attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. So much energy and so positive Phung & Emma made my night. The portions are great, the flavours amazing and service was exceptional. I will definitely come again, next time I’m in London. Currently in Paris, I wish I can have Korean bbq again. Thank you guys.

Emma gave great recommendations and the food was delicious!highly recommend eating here!

great food even better service!!!

Everything extremely dirty Low quality food Staff is great but it's the only positive thing

Great service, and food - Ty was so sweet, really enjoyed my birthday celebration here.

Very good restaurant. You can reserve and no need to wait too long. Food are so delicious and don’t need to wait too long. The starters are good as normal. The meals are tasty. The seafood pancake is crispy. The rice cake /noodle /cheese with fish cake is a must order item. Even the fried rice tasty unexpected good. Surprisingly I heard the Korean chef is commanding in the kitchen. The supervisor will teach you how to grill. The server give you extra help. The shop decorated with the new seasonal items. And a voucher is given for next trip. I recommend this restaurant

Had an amazing time at Yori, we we're walk ins at 9pm when it was super busy and the staff we're super accomadating! They made our nights felt special, especially when we we're celebrating one of our colleauges recent move to another company. Massive shout out to Alice, Pav and Saugaat!!! I felt like this is the first time in a long while where I was really happy to pay the service charge, as these three definitely deserved it! In terms of the food (Non-bbq): -The haemul pajeon was really nice, a great pairing with the Soju -The Sundubu-jjigae (Tofu Jigae) was one of the best I've had (I've been to quite a few korean restaurants in London). -Kimchi Bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice) was amazing, must have, it's a whole plate of fried rice that's good for 2-3 people (for those who eats rice on a regular basis). BBQ: -Up to standard, my favourite cut was the ribeye -Bulgogi was ok

The staff was so friendly and gave great advice to those new to Korean bbq. Alice, Pav, Dev & Saugaat really made us feel welcomed and were right there when we needed them. Food was AMAZING!

Alice, Pav and Saugaat are 10/10 staff. Amazing food and attentive and helpful staff :)

Completely same as Authentic. I was so greatful having my food in a while. Besides that friendly staff I Highly recomand if you look for Korean food

Delicious food at a good price and great service from Alice, Pat and Saugaat!

Great food and service! Alice, Pav and Saugaat were really caring and looked after us. Can’t wait to be back

Alice was so friendly and helped us pick out incredible dishes! I had the teobokki with cheese and it was divine! Every time we come here it's wonderful! Top staff, so welcoming!!

We came to London from Switzerland to discover good Asian food and Yori exceeded our expectations! The Korean BBQ was fantastic and the food was fresh and authentic. Despite the restaurant being full, the staff, especially Ty, were super friendly and cheerful. A real plus! I recommend booking in advance. If you love Korean food, Yori is an absolute must in London!

Incredible atmosphere, all the staff are smiling and welcoming. The food was tasty and generous I recommend it with my eyes closed!

Alice and Emma were amazing - great service, great food!

Loved the place! Delicious food and great atmosphere, thank you to Dev for the great service :))

Excellent experience!!!! Good food, good service, staff pleasant, just great!! We are coming again.

Had the tofu bibimbap without egg. The rice was very nicely cooked but the fact that the mushroom was canned is just beyond disappointing for a chain restaurant.

The food was amazing, definitely recommend the kimchi jeon! Dawn, Dev, Saugaat and Ty were very attentive and lovely :)

Amazing food and service from ty, dawn, dev, and saugaat!!!

All staff were very friendly and attentive:)

It was clear how much care everyone was putting in! Dave was great! Very efficient service

The food was exceptionally good and the staff was very kind especially Pavandeep.

Dev seated us in a heavy rush and our food was out after just a few minutes. Absolutely delicious pork dolsot bibimbap!!

Tasty food. Great customer service by Dev.

Very good customer service from Pav and Dev, food was really good too.

Love the place, bbq and lunch set are great. Pav is a fantastic host

Food was great and Pav’s service was excellent

Group of 4 expected to finish a BBQ meal in an hour... I had made a reservation for a BBQ table for 7pm. We arrived early but table was not ready - no worries, we waited a bit outside and got seated at about 7. Our food came after a while, and as with BBQ meals, time is needed to cook the food. When we were just done with our first round of cooking, we were informed that we only had 30mins left to our allocated time? We felt like we had to rush the remaining 3quarters of our food. By 8pm, the waitress had already handed us our bill and made us pay while we were still finishing up our food! Then, I could see the staff getting told by who I assume is the manager at that time, to start clearing out our table to get us to leave - a friend even had his spoon taken away from his plate while he was still clearly eating! Eventually we were told "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to leave" by our server. We did leave soon after without protest. As we left the shop, we were wondering how the restaurant would expect us to finish our meal comfortably within an hour. After getting home, I decided to check the reservation email as I remembered seeing something about allocated timings. That's when I saw that "For a group of 3 or more, the reservation is for 1 hour 30 minutes"!! Why were we getting chased out in 1 hour?? Did the reservation policy change? Did the server mistake the allocated time? Even so, clearly a group ordering all these dishes that require MULTIPLE rounds of cooking would not finish their meal in AN HOUR! I regret not having checked my email earlier so that I could question their actions at that time, but this was unfortunately a HIGHLY negative experience that has put me off visiting this restaurant.

Such a lovely homely restaurant. Big portions and lovely service.will be coming back:)
