BAD value for money. This restaurant charges you for plain salad leaves and bits of garlic. The size of the portions is tiny. We used to go there regularly. Not any more. Disappointing! A tourist trap!

I found this restaurant by chance when a few friends came to London for a visit a few years ago. We were looking for a warm meal without having to sell any body parts to have to pay for it and this place did the trick! Back then the set menu was around £6 which is very good for the West End. I think the menus are now between £7.50 and £8.50 which is great for salad, soup, main course with rice and fruit for dessert. I have taken there all my friends and family when they come to visit and everyone loves the place.

Regarding the staff, well, they greet you when you come in, they serve your food warm and drinks cold, they give you the right change and say good bye when you leave which is more than you get in most restaurants paying double the money for half the food. Do not expect a party with 'mariachis' just plain service but at the end of the day you go there to enjoy the company you bring not the staff.

I would definitely recommend this place to everyone, I am going there tomorrow with a few friends and we shall enjoy our dinner very much.

Had dinner with 2 friends. Friendly staff, decent price and delicious food. Very satisfied experience. And I noticed that all people eating there except me and my friends were Korean. Should be a nice Korean restaurant.

We have been to Nara several times before. Mainly because it featured kosaree namul in its menu. The other dishes there are average. Service quality varies depending on who is waiting on you, some can be most helpful and others extremely dismissive of your existence. They do keep tables back for preferred guests who may or may not turn up but we have not been able to make a reservation. So my conclusion is that they do not have consistency in their service.

I prefer the better service provided in other good Korean restaurants. Unless you are desperate for certain dishes like kosaree namul, I would go elsewhere.
