Bi Bim Bap
London
Extolling the virtues of Korea's most beloved dish, Bi Bim Bap offers a fresh, fun and very Soho take on the favourite and offers it up to a willing and intrigued urban audience. Loved by both the health-conscious and food lovers alike, Bi Bim Bap is a Korean dish of plain rice with a variety of toppings; super-fresh and stir-fried vegetables are a must, a slow sizzling egg cracked on top perhaps or a variety of different kinds of meat or seafood. The spicy pork and chicken are favourites with the neighbouring crowd of trendy media and tech professionals, while purists will be happy to see a beef bulgogi (sizzling beef) rendition and a mouthwatering fillet beef bibimbap.
The rendition of bibimbap (the dish) here is superb; super fresh, clean and flavoursome and topped with a generous dollop of hot sauce, it makes an eminently satisfying meal-in-one. Noodle and dishes are offered as well, as well as salads and a short but concise range of side dishes to complement the mains - essentials like miso soup, kimchi (Korean spicy pickled cabbage) and japchae (a delicious Korean pancake) are accounted for, as well as mandoo (filled dumplings, like the Japanese gyoza) and the ever-popular deep fried squid. One for a casual lunch or dinner with friends, or a pit stop.
Staff are enthusiastic, friendly and prices are very reasonable - have your photo taken after dinner and join the legions of fans plastering the walls of this very colourful and cheerful restaurant.
