YORI (King's Cross) in Islington

Samgyeopsal, kimchi stew, and buchimgae are all delicious. It's expensive, but that can't be helped because it's London.

This is the first Korean meal I had after coming to London. The food was a bit salty, but my coworkers and I were all very satisfied. I was more satisfied with the kimchi stew than the doenjang stew. Haha. For reference!!

Good food and amazing service from Dhaval

Dabal and Dave treated us so well!!! Looking forward to meet u again guyz Thank you so much!! You guys made my day😊

Dhaval is the best! Unfortunately we do not live in London. Keep it up!

Had a lovely time- Dhaval made sure we were well served and was super helpful in helping us decide what to order :)

We had a great time at Yori Kings Cross. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Dhaval and Dev were lovely and made sure to had a great time for our anniversary, their service was excellent.

Tiny but busy - the waiting staff were lovely and the food was delish.

Great food, atmosphere, and service! We planned to go to the restaurant next door, well publicized on TikTok and other platforms, but got tired of waiting in line and came here next door. What a great find!

Overall I would not go there again. Yori barbecue selection was fine to share for 2 people and it came with some small garnishes (3 types: onions, cucumber and radish), as well as some salad. It did not even come with rice or any sauces. Most of the meat was not marinated and the quality of the meat was basic, so it was chewy and did not have any special taste. They loaded the meat selection with cheap chicken but only put two shrimps. The place itself was not very clean - the chairs were sticky, and the table was stainy. The pot you cook on of course emits a lot of small droplets and smell and by the end of the evening you clothes will completely soak the smell. That could potentially be a nicer experience with the real charcoal but they only have electric pot. The staff were nice

The chicken tastes like old-fashioned chicken and is delicious, but the seafood and green onion pancakes taste a lot like flour and the kimchi is a bit strange.

It doesn't seem like a house where people are good at cooking. Just okay

Our server Dave was lovely, staff at venue accommodating. Wish there was additional salt and pepper at table to further season the non marinated meat, but food was good and portions plenty. The passionfruit cocktail was excellent really really good!

This is my first time leaving a review. I ate London food for two days and had pork belly and kimchi stew. It was really, really delicious. In particular, the kimchi stew was the second most delicious after the kimchi stew made by my mother, including the one I bought in Korea. I will definitely come back next time I come to London. Good

Amazing Galbi tang and soft tofu stew! Everything was great here!

The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were.The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service. It's a great value for the money." .Tha food and drinks is perfect

Very nice filling and very nice food it is the my amezing experience for restaurant

Your ability to stay calm and focused under pressure is a great asset to the team, and your positive attitude was infectious, making the whole process smoother.

Very nice place to enjoy the good food, and to spend quality time with our loved ones, all the restaurant staff members are very nice and polite, Excellent food and excellent service.

Today I visit the yori restaurant the food is good and service by Asmita is excellent super friendly nature thank you Asmita.

Busy but warm atmosphere. Food was excellent and all the staff very attentive. Look forward to going back some time.

Atmosphere :10/10 Service :10/10 Food :9/10 Specially thanks to Aslam for his fab service. ✌️

good food good service all the staff is very polite and so nice

Went here with my boyfriend to give him his first Korean BBQ experience, but honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The meat was sliced way too thin, the portions felt small, and the bulgogi sauce just didn’t hit the mark—it lacked proper marination and flavor. We went on a Saturday night and the place was surprisingly empty, so we got a table right away. The staff were really nice and friendly, which was a plus. Maybe other dishes on the menu are better—I’ve seen some positive reviews—but based on the BBQ alone, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’d rather pay a bit more for a place that delivers a fuller, more satisfying KBBQ experience.

authentic Korean BBQ with. Loved the atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend!

I've been to 3 different Yori's now and this is by far my favourite one. The food quality seems to be so much better here, I really enjoyed it more than in the other Yori's especially the fried chicken and bbq. There is also more seating here and a bit more spacious than the other Yori's in London. Last but not least Dave who served us was very attentive, friendly and professional. Highly recommend coming to this Yori if you need your fix of korean cuisine.

I recently dined at Yuri and I can't rave enough about my experience! The food was absolutely fantastic—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was top-notch! But what really made my visit memorable was our waiter, Aslam. He provided exceptional service with a warm, welcoming attitude that made us feel right at home. He was attentive without being intrusive, and he offered great recommendations that perfectly complemented our meals. If you're looking for a place that combines delicious food with outstanding service, I highly recommend [Restaurant Name]. I can’t wait to return for another wonderful meal!

Simply beautiful place and tried Korean food. it was amazing taste with rating 9 out of 10. Stuff was well mannered.wanna specially mention Aslam who is very humble. i highly recommend.

Nice environment, delicious food overall great place to explore.. ❤️

Service was so good ambience was so authentic

Team are great service is amazing small restaurant with great staff felt like in Korea

Very good resturant. Foods are here is so delicious and their service is super good no need to wait too long.

Food was delicious, service was incredible. Emzie and Dev were so friendly and helpful!

As a Korean born in Korea I have never tasted Korean food that was so unathentic! It tastes as if someone has dumped cups and cups of sugar all over my food. I'm not sure who the owners are or why they think they should remove spice and garlic and add sugar but this is the last time I will eat here. If you're Korean don't waste your money, this place is definitely not for us.

Staff are lovely and such a cosy atmosphere. Food was a bit underwhelming but okay.

Good BBQ, left feeling very full. Very quiet which diminished the atmosphere. Would go again.

We had the spicy stew with tofu and seafood and a beef bibimbap. Both were really delicious. The staff was really friendly. We will certainly come back!

We had a lovely evening here although the seats were a little cramped with boxes stored underneath. Service was pretty good but a little more attention to detail would be welcomed. Our children love cooking the food while my wife and I drink wine and wait to be fed. A great experience and loads of fun.

I ate toppogi today -it cost 13£ more but there’s is only 6 toppogi in there. I found lunch menu after eating. She should le me know the lunch menu… she only gave me the whole menu list. It’s unfair…

The worst Korean restaurant The bibimbap was so-so Sundubu stew is the worst I've been to a lot of Korean restaurants while traveling around the world, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, but this is the first Korean restaurant that's this bad. The soft tofu stew tasted really strange (it doesn't matter if the seasoning is salty or bland). It was soft tofu stew, but even though I washed my eyes and looked for soft tofu, it wasn't there. After tasting the food with a friend I went to a restaurant with, I was embarrassed and started talking about the taste of the food. The owner was sitting at the table in front of me, but he pretended not to hear me. It's not like you can afford Korean food in London, but the quality is a bit...

Our group settled to eat at Yoris, and I must say it was the best decision we made. From the cozy atmosphere to the food itself, everything was splendid. In particular, our waitress, Emzie^2, catered to our every need. She was extremely friendly upon arrival, helped break down the menu, and recommended her favourites. And she was right - her suggestions did not disappoint! Also very funny

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

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

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

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

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

Very tasty Korean barbeque and great service

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 😎👍

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!

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

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 😊

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

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 :)

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

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!

Great meal! Ty and Alice were lovely

Incredible soft tofu jiggae and Ty and Alice are lovely !

Went here for my friends birthday, absolutely delicious food and the staff 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
