I wouldn't blame anyone for having trouble finding this restaurant. It's hidden just near the back of Finchley Central underground station. The road it's on is a bit tight, so parking isn't always easy. But if you're coming by public transport, come out of the back exit of the station and it's just on your right, slightly up the road.
I've always enjoyed the food here, but I'd warn newcomers to be prepared as the spicy dishes really mean it. The first time I gave it a go, I left a little surprised.
The service seemed fine to me. Has it really taken a turn since the owner changed? It certainly has a different flavour, but I wouldn't say it's any worse. Just different.
Nice local restaurant to come back to.

I've been going to this restaurant for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, it has gone downhill.
It's very expensive and whist it used to be worth it, since it's changed hands it's nowhere near as good.
Mr Kim is no longer there, I heard this son took over, but apparently, the staff don't know who the owner is now...???
I've been for lunch recnetly, and that was quite good, but I've been for dinner and been really disappointed.
These days I go to Kimchee in GOlders Green. Much better value for money. Yijo just isn't worth the extra pennies anymore
