Lonely Planet review

If you fancy Korean but want a bit more style thrown into the act than what you'll find at Assa , head for this spacious basement restaurant next to the Holborn tube station. The kimchi (pickled Chinese cabbage with chillies) is searing, the barbecues (around £7 to £12 ) are à table and the bibimbab - rice served in a sizzling pot topped with thinly sliced beef, preserved vegetables and chilli-laced soybean paste - is the best in town.

Largest and Best Korean restaurant in London Over the last few years, I have regularly met with friends and family from Korea, China, United States, and Europe at the ASADAL restaurant. Now we meet at the new ASADAL at Holborn tube station. ASADAL is definitely our favourite Korean restaurant. There are a wide variety of dishes available. Some of our favourite dishes are: Starter: Japchae (sweat potato /glass noodles with stir-fried vegetables) - Handmade mandu (dumplings) - Nice and almost crispy Pacheon (Korean pancake) - Sae-woo-twe-gim Ã¢â¬â delicious type of King Tiger prawns and vegetable tempura to dip in a special sauce - Kan-poong-gi Ã¢â¬â sweet and spicy fried chicken Main course: - Bibimpap (they have several varieties: normal, with raw meat or raw fish) and you can ask the level of spiciness - Our favourite is the creamy sundubu chigae (soft tofu soup with seafood) or kimchi chigae (kimchi soup) - Bulgogi (Korean barbecue). It is even better with Sang-chu thatÃ¢â¬â¢s the fresh leaves of lettuce and Korean bean paste - Dak-galbi, that's the spicy marinated chicken with vegetables that they cook at your table Dessert: - Fresh fruits always cut in a special way - Children (and adults) also enjoy ice cream - Alternatively, they have the sik hae or Korean sweet rice punch Note that ASADAL also accommodates for our vegetarian friends. It is easily identifiable on the menu, but to make sure I always notify the waiter/waitress. The restaurant can accommodate large crowds. It is possible to eat within the intimacy of our own group of people at a very large table. There are dividers and even free private rooms. ASADAL is a child-friendly place. It is much larger than it appears from the outside and it is easily accessible for families and people with mobility difficulties as there is a lift. I heartily recommend it, as it is our favourite restaurant!!! Ms. Lee
