Cocohana
This place is one of a kind: a Korean café in a converted old Japanese house. Dishes here include bibimbap (a Korean rice dish) and kimchi (Korean pickles). A full range of coffee and tea is also available. It’s a woody, rustic place with both table and tatami seating. There is no English menu but the friendly young staff will help with ordering. This makes a great stop while exploring southeastern Kyoto.

Nabi
There seems to be yakiniku on every corner in Tokyo these days, but this contemporary spot concentrates on home-style Korean cooking: dak-hanmali (whole chicken in broth; ¥4200), bibimbap (rice and marinated vegetables), sundubu jiggae (spicy tofu stew) and samgyeupsal (pork belly), which you can wrap in ssam (leaves of sesame and lettuce). Bonus: it’s organic. The biggest problem is finding it. From Meiji-dori, head into the alley left of the Diesel shop.

Yakiniku Toraji International
Although it originates from the humble Korean dish known as bulgogi, yakiniku (grilled meat) at this Roppongi Hills establishment is anything but ordinary. Choose from a variety of immaculate cuts of meat, and then slow roast them over charcoals. Next, dip your perfectly cooked slices of meat in a variety of sauces before popping them into your mouth - delicious!

Taigen Shokudō
Locally popular place for Korean BBQ grilled behind the counter and served on sizzling teppan (steel plates). A great bargain at lunchtime. There's no English menu, but order the yakiniku teishoku (set meal with salad, soup and rice; ¥880) or Taigen teishoku (yakiniku set meal plus hamburger, beef cutlet and sausage; ¥1200). It's next to Core 21 Akasaka.
