Gama

I went to this Korean restaurant the past weekend. The first surprise came when I found a small part of the menu written in korean. I could figure it out that was food because It came with prices, I was going to ask to my waitress but as she, how to put in a nice way, well she look at us like a dog, I don't meant like a cute one so I didn't ask.

We order some beef, prawns to be made on the table (one of the main points of the restaurant) and some sushi and a fried rice. For drink we order a couple of korean beer. It must be real korean because for the time than took them to serve them I could to korea and get them myself. Later they serve the beef and put then to be cook on the table and they came with the prawns, I wonder if the prawns must be korean as well as they came on first class to London because they were six, I paid 7.50£ for them. Sushi was ok I would like to tell how was the rice but we never got it. We complained about it once the beef was cooking in front of us, the waiter told us she was sorry and she was going to give us some rice, but as you know already never came. Once we finish what it was on the table we told the waiter we didn't want the rice as a dessert.

We paid around 30 £ but on top of it I should put the price of the pizza I ate later because the food wasn't enough and believe I like to eat but I am not fat, normally if I paid 30 quid I am full.

I go to Gama all the time and I tell everyone I know about it.

I always, always get the same thing (their Gyoza dumplings are little bits of heaven) but everyone I bring here gets something else on their extensive menu and they have all been taken, just as I was!

This place is good value for money, has excellent service and services authentic food! The ratio of Korean and Japanese to Western customers is always in favour of the former. Which is the best indication of standard of food as far as I'm concerned...Why would I want to eat there if the natives don't?

OK so the toilets aren't like those in Sketch but who goes to a restaurant because of its toilets? Ping Pong, Yo Sushi and all those “all-you-can-eat” buffets in Soho's China Town can't touch the food quality of Gama!

I have to admit. i must have tried every korean resteraunt in central london and time and time again i find myself back at Gama. the only thing i agree on with the previous comment was the toilets are a bit of a mess.

but the staff are amazing and friendly. always happy to chat and cheer with you. they go that extra bit which makes a big differance to me. and the food. is. amazing.

look give this place a try, its quiet and always filled with koreans and that can only stand in its favour (except when they are being loud)

i've written two reviews in my life, this being the second one. so i don't throw these about for the fun of it.

in fact im going to go have gama today

i recommend kimchi chigae, Bulgogi and their kampongi is to die for.
