WooJung Restaurant

One of the best Korean restaurants in London. I went to eat here because I am a fan of blackpink and Jennie and I can say they have a good taste in food. The manager Sunny is so friendly and very welcoming . Would visit again soon. 나는 후다이다

When we arrive around 7pm, there is a queue, didn’t wait too long. Friendly staff, delicious food. I recommend jjambong, it’s big portion and tasty. They played KPOP videos which is kinda fun.

A hidden gem next to Tottenham Court Road.Nothing posh or pretentious, just good hearted, tasty food! Everything we had was delicious.The service was quick and very polite! I would definitely visit again.

Nestled downstairs in a grocery store, this hidden gem captured our attention. We were seated close to the kitchen, granting us a glimpse of the bustling culinary action. The constant influx of diners added to the vibrant atmosphere. Opting for two appetizers: Tteobokki and Kimchi-Jeon, we found the portions to be remarkably generous. Each could easily stand alone as a satisfying meal. However, given that we would not able to find Korean food of this calibre in our area, we expanded our order to include Ojingeo Bokeum and Sundubu Jjigae.The Ojingeo Bokeum was a revelation—sweet yet boldly spicy. As for the Sundubu Jjigae, its rich, umami-laden flavor was irresistible—I found it hard to put my spoon down. Choosing a favorite among the four dishes was a daunting task; each dish stood out for its remarkable taste. I'm eager to return and explore more offerings from their menu.This hidden spot in the depths of a grocery store surprised us with its exceptional Korean culinary delights. I'm already anticipating my next visit to savor more of their delectable dishes.

The restaurant was busy when we arrived (lucky we booked), but we were allowed to sit and wait for the third member of the group who was running slightly late. The service was polite and friendly, and the food when it arrived, awesome. I’ve been once before and I had the same cold noodle dish, naengmyeon, which is difficult to find in London. It was perfect for a warm summer evening! We also had a selection of starters to share and a sizzling platter (octopus). The seafood pajeon is highly recommended. I’ll definitely be coming back again and will maybe try some different dishes next time. If you want authentic Korean food in a nice, casual setting, this is the place for you.

Even though I rated this place 3 stars I’d still go back to try other things on the menu ! We enjoyed the Buldak chicken and rice cakes! We liked how crispy the sweet and sour pork was but the sauce doesn’t have much flavour. We like the black bean noodles ! I just wish everything had a bit more flavour !

Authentic Korean Food in the heart of Central London.WooJung Restaurant is located in the basement of their small supermarket store. The closest tube station is Tottenham Court Road Station which is a quick 2-3 minutes walk to WooJung.I came for dinner on a Wednesday around 6:30pm and it was quite busy, luckily I managed to get seated for a group of 3 persons without queuing.There isn’t room for big groups, the tables generally cater for groups of 4 or less.The service I received was good considering it was very busy. The staff were readily available to take my orders and refills.For starters I ordered the Haemul-pajeon (seafood pancake) which costs £9, the Japchae (glass noodles with veg) which costs £8.50 and the Tteobokki with cheese (stir fried rice cake in spicy sauce) which costs £8.50 + £2 for a cheese topping.The pancake didn’t look as depicted in the photo on the restaurant wall, it had a lot less filling inside (see photo). The pancake was cooked well and it tasted okay but nothing particularly special. I wouldn’t order it again.The Japchae was nice and smooth and mixed together with the veg and sauce was good, the portion size of the noodles was reasonable.The Tteobokki tasted nice and chewy like Tteobokki I’ve tried, the sauce was nice and spicy and the cheese added an extra of flavour. The dish was also served with a boiled egg to create a complete dish. The portion for this starter was also reasonable, maybe could’ve done with more Tteobokki but overall I was pleased with this starter, with Tteobokki being one of my favourite Korean dishes.For the main dish, I ordered the Yukgejang soup (spicy beef & vegetables and egg soup) which costs £14.Firstly, the soup itself was spicy and flavourful which I love about Korean spice and their soup!The beef was thinly cut as standard with Korean soup dishes, very easy to eat and the soup absorbs the flavour. The egg in the soup was scrambled and blends in with the soup, adding an extra layer to the dish.Overall, from the dishes I tried I would recommend the Tteobokki and Yukgejang soup these dishes had the most flavour and were the most tasty in my opinion. The service was good and a standard service charge was added to the final cost.I wouldn’t mind coming back to this restaurant but I would try other dishes.

Delicious food with very reasonable price in central London! Definitely a hidden gem! The vibe really makes you feel like you are in Korea! Will definitely come back endless times!

Definitely a hidden gem in London! They have amazing food, and the owner is super friendly. If you are looking for some real Korean food, this is the right place for you.Will definitely come back next time whenever I’m visiting London.

It was good! It is just like Korean home cooking, you might not be very impressed but it make you feel like eating in Korean family.Love the sweet and sour chicken, it’s tender and perfect flavour❣️ Will visit again!
