Koba (Fitzrovia)

• You then order a series of meat which are brought out and cooked in front of you
• The waiters are very polite and will do this
• As I was this is acceptable also
• Its good to go for a platter which gives you a variety of meats although salted beef was my preferred option
• I know there are many other Korean bbq places that are cheaper but kobu has a great atmosphere and decor that is worth paying that little bit extra
• My first time in a Korean Restaurant I was very curious and
• I went there with some friends and we took a Korean barbecue
• The dishes were also really good and the wine is affordable
• To be eaten with Pamoochim &
• Sliced spring onion with chilli and vinegar £
• BBQ bulgogi beef is exceptionally well wrapped with lettuce
• As the beef is just so orgasmic
• You don't want to tamper with it's natural beauty
• I like to lash mine with a generous serving of chilli and mix it up
• While you watch with hungry eyes
• So good that my glass is constantly topped up without me even realising
• I thought it was totally running on its old reputation
• There is a second room with just standard tables
• The pancake was nice and crispy with a good mix of seafood
• We also ordered a mixed seafood bibimbap to share you just can't go wrong with this delicious signature Korean dish
• It was bit of a risk though since the last time I had been there was four years ago
• Beef Bulgogi (thinly sliced beef sirloin with vegetables) and Daeji Bulgoi (sweet and spicy pork belly)
• To go with the meat we ordered Pamoochim (sliced spring onion with chilli and vinegar) and Sagchoo (lettuce and soybean paste) and some rice
• I then had the most brilliant time making little lettuce wraps of slightly charred yet tender flavourful slices of beef with dabs of the soybean paste and bits of salad
• The lettuce was abandoned and I unashamedly ate the meat straight off the grill
• The highlight of the night was probably the succulent pieces of pork belly that were probably not the healthiest choice but oh so mouth wateringly melt in your mouth good
• The weakest link was the duck in comparison to the other dishes
• All this delicious food paired with several shots of Soju
• Grab a drink at bar nearby before and get ready for a fun meal with some sizzling delicious Korean BBQ
• I like this is the best way
• The korean fried chicken is also only just okay
• The dish portions is big and the price is reasonable
• Vegetables bibimbap with a side of kimchi
• The lunch time menu is affordable and includes all the usual accompaniment you'd expect
• Everything is prepared fresh which is great but means service at midday isn't the quickest
• I had the lunchtime beef barbecue which came with a small bibimbap (hot bowl rice and veg)
• The thing slithers of beef were delicious they cooked in minutes
• I wasn't a fan of the lighting in the restaurant as it was a little dark/dull
• The cutesy restaurant at the back of Soho impresses with friendly attentive staff
• The restaurant has good reason for having a top reputation and a visit in a group is recommended to have a relaxed and enjoyable evening
• We opted for a range of BBQ meat that is more rare to find in usual Korean restaurants
• The thinly sliced ox tongue was underwhelming
• Specially if you are unfortunate enough to get a table in the poorly ventilated basement
• The food quality is very mediocre
• Is nothing more than a pretend 'Korean bbq' experience that is not even posh enough to justify the cost
• The usual broth with some meat chunks and veg
