Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food and service my partner and I received was exceptional."
  • "The food here is absolutely fantastic. BBQ meats and stews were on point."

Cons:

  • "The way the meat was described as marinated turns out to be disappointing."
  • "There were four of us and we ordered the prawns, the chicken, and two portions of beef and there is nowhere near enough for 4 people."
  • "The chicken was £12.50 and it was literally a couple of thighs, and I couldn’t taste any garlic marination on them at all."
  • "Regarding the food it’s not real Korean style. Those vegetable places all too sweet and tasteless, but it’s kimchi!"
  • "About the chicken bibimpap, without the Korean spicy sauce, you can’t taste any flavour and it’s just warm not hot, it’s cold for me."
  • "There was almost zero meat with all the beef dishes. Spent £80+ to feed my family and half of them didn’t eat their food because it was basically just plain rice/noodles."
  • "Had Bulgogi which wasn't cooked from fresh and arrived cold."

Ambience and Setting

Pros:

  • "Love the fact that we can go in and cook our own food! Very tasty and flavoursome food!"

Cons:

  • "Really nice food and speedy service BUT it’s very cold in there!"
  • "The seating area isn’t big, so wise to call ahead."
  • "The decor on arrival was quite disappointing. Very dark with paint peeling off the walls."
  • "The restaurant was very cold inside maybe trying to save energy bill."
  • "We were seated at the bottom of the stairs where there was a terrible breeze coming straight down from upstairs."
  • "The food itself was tasty but we won't be returning to that restaurant, there are plenty other places nearby that are worth the visit."
  • "The restaurant was spotless despite being absolutely packed."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Good value for money. We had a great time."
  • "Decently good! Good food, good service, and very good value for money."
  • "The food was good. I got tteokbokki, Japchae, Cabbage kimchi and seafood tofu soup. They gave a free mini cake and the meal comes with rice."
  • "The food and service at Yori is impeccable and I have yet to find another restaurant that lives up to Yori's standards."
  • "The food was delicious and would recommend, the only reason why I gave 4 starts is due to the seafood pancake (Haemool Kimchi Jeon) and the shrimp in it not being deveined- just a personal preference in having even small shrimp deveined."
  • "Very delicious food. Tasty and good value for money. Very special to cook my own food in the restaurant."
  • "General food quality is good, we enjoyed the dishes, good value for money."

Cons:

  • "We also ordered the noodles which were very good to be fair. my friends ordered the egg fried rice too. The bill came to 120 which was all food apart from five bottles of lager which were expensive at £5.50 each."
  • "I consider spending £60 per couple and then leaving unfulfilled and having to eat again when you come home a waste of money"
  • "Really cheap attitude. Then had 10% service charge on the bill when we literally ordered, cooked and paid for everything ourselves."
  • "We ordered fried chicken for starter, York BBQ and beef stew for the main. The food was delicious and fresh. We really loved it."
  • "The seating area isn’t big, so wise to call ahead."
  • "The food is very average, I ordered a beef ramen which didn’t taste of anything really."
  • "Not the best Korean restaurant in the area, but definitely an OK option if there's no alternatives."
