Yori Reviews Summary

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Venturing into YORI Cambridge felt like stepping into a parallel universe where Korea was just a whisper in the culinary wind."
• "The ambiance, though lacking a distinct Korean vibe, held a certain charm, akin to a confused traveler – endearing, yet slightly lost."
• "It was clean and had a nice ambience."
• "The atmosphere was very lively and fun, everyone around us seemed to be having as good time as we were."

Cons:

• "Our friend's Korean Style Fried Chicken winged in with more promise, though the sweet chilli sauce seemed to forget its Korean roots along the way."
• "We were put upstairs at thr back of the building, in a dingy part of the restaurant that didn't not give a good impression of cleanliness or presentation."
• "Atmosphere is really nice too, small place with seating upstairs, bit noisy at times but full restaurant so to be expected."
• "Sorry, but what kind of society do we live in that you have to order a meal via QR code??? No!!! And the place is cramped, not very clean, and everything feels rushed."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Service was quick with no hassle and complimentary soup while we waited."
• "Great service from start to finish, food was delicious."
• "Waiting staff were nice and friendly 👍🏼 I am very impressed!!!"
• "The staff was friendly and helpful. The services were great and fast."

Cons:

• "In the realm of service, YORI maintained a Zen-like presence, so Zen, in fact, that their check-ins were as elusive as a dragon in a Korean folktale."
• "It was slow and incoherent. There were only three of us, yet we were all served our main courses at different times, whereas rice never appeared until we finished our meal!"
• "We did not even finish our drinks, one of the waitresses just took it without asking. Not to mention how long we waited to get seated."
• "Service is incredibly slow, constantly having to remind the staff of items we've ordered through this convoluted app system they're using."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The Flavoured Soju Grape 🍇 was a delightful start, promising a fusion of fun and flavor."
• "We'd both particularly recommend the beef bulgogi, but the fried chicken was also nice, if less flavourful."
• "Really tasty food, I'm not usually good with Alice but even though it was spicy it was so flavourful I could handle it."
• "Absolutely delicious food. My friend and I opted for bibimbap (which was incredibly tasty) and a side of kimchi (delicious and just the right sour/spice) 😊"

Cons:

• "However, it seemed the beef took a detour from Seoul, arriving with less 'bulgogi' and more 'blandgogi'."
• "The only con is the physical space, as it is quite small for a BBQ restaurant."
• "The worst part was my other friend's fried rice, which had a 'washing-up liquid' awful taste."
• "The food was not good. I lived in Korea for a few months and I have a pretty good idea of what things should be. However not only were the dishes we had not authentic they just weren't good."
