Herne Hill, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

Well-priced Korean restaurant on Ealing Broadway (with an uncommented-on year-old spin-off in Ravenscourt Park), offering a range of tasty bibimbap and bulgogi dishes with a soup starter and kimchi on the side for £18.95, alongside plenty of appetizers, stews and noodle options.

This “perfect neighbourhood restaurant that consistently cooks to a really high standard” occupies an attractive glass-fronted site opposite Herne Hill station, and goes from strength to strength under founder, hairdressing salon entrepreneur Katya Milavic-Davies and exec chef Lasse Petersen, who began his professional life as the drummer in post-punk band The Rakes.
