Kimchee
Named after Korea’s signature dish, this latest addition to London’s buzzing Asian food scene, Kimchee has combined a zen-like interior with neutral colours and the soft glow of dozens of enormous lampshades with the buzz of an open kitchen and vast dining room. The food is good and excellent value: try sharing a few dishes from the charcoal barbecue and the many sides, Korean style.

Myung Ga
Myung Ga is a big hit with the pre-theatre crowd – most diners order several types of meat for the barbecue and back it up with bibimbap (rice cooked in a hot stone bowl) and chigae (spicy cabbage and chilli soup).

Assa
The best of a trio of Korean restaurants behind the unsightly (and Heritage-listed) Centre Point building, Assa attracts a crowd of friendly young Asians who come for the cut-price soup noodles, bibimbab (rice served in a sizzling pot topped with thinly sliced beef, preserved vegetables and chilli-laced soybean paste) and potent soju (Korean saki).

Asadal
If you fancy Korean but want a bit more style thrown into the act, head for this spacious basement restaurant next to the Holborn tube station. The kimchi (pickled Chinese cabbage with chillies) is searing, the barbecues (£7 to £11.50) are done on your table and the bibimbab – rice served in a sizzling pot topped with thinly sliced beef, preserved vegetables and chilli-laced soybean paste – are the best in town.
