Bibimbap Soho

Bibimbap Soho is often referred to with bright colours, Ikea-style furniture and walls plastered with Polaroid snaps of happy diners, as a youngsters’ hangout. It’s more suited to an after-work pit stop than a lingering meal, service is quick and the food filling. There are Korean beers and spirits to try as well.

As the name suggests, BiBimBap’s big draw is the stone-bowl rice dish of the same name – served in ten varieties. Classic dishes include beef, chilli chicken, spicy pork or seafood, but veggies are well catered for too with tofu, mushroom, or brown rice, ginseng and ginkgo versions on offer. Some people say the key to good bibimbap is how well it’s mixed together, and the staff let you do the honours here (as well as adding your own gochujang and doenjang sauces) and the results have always been sound, with crisp rice at the bottom and a decent amount of toppings to blend through. Other dishes, including fried noodles, jeon pancakes and salads, can be more of a mixed bag.
