GoBong - 고봉 — Restaurant in London

영국에 살면서 가장 찾기 힘든게 아마 한국음식일듯합니다. 런던에 있는 대부분의 한국식당들은 비싸기만하고 맛도 별로인 곳이 많은데 여기는 맛도 좋고 가격도 꽤 합리적이라서 한식이 땡길때 잠깐 들리기 참 좋은곳입니다. 작은식당이라 대부분 테이크아웃으로 운영하고요 (지금은 코로나 때문에 테이크아웃만 가능하지만). 메뉴는 크지 않지만 비빔밥, 후라이드치킨 등 먹을만한건 다 있어요. 우리나라서 엄청 매운 불닭 드시고 싶은 분들은 여기 치킨 "Inferno" 한번 시켜보세요! 특히 학생들한테 인기좋고 자주 들린다네요. 락다운 후로 문도 저번주부터 다시 열었구요. 추천!

As a Korean in Archway it was a pleasant surprise to see a nice and cozy Korean restaurant finally added to the neighbourhood! Now onto the review:

Authentic and delicious food - their main dish is the "Bibimbap," a mixed rice and vegetable dish with optional meat topping (traditionally this would be beef) drizzled in spicy/sweet hot sauce made with "Gochujang" (traditional Korean hot pepper paste).

Amazing chicken - best side dish (or in Korean, "Banchan") on offer is definitely their deep fried Korean Fried Chicken. This can be had with the original sweet and mildly spicy sauce, sweet soy sauce or for the daring, their "inferno" hot sauce. The Inferno sauce comes very close to the authentic original Korean fried chicken sauces (Buldak/불닭) found in Korea - and it's extremely spicy! Unless you're well seasoned in spicy foods I would avoid this and start with the original sauce first which is very delicious! The chicken also lack bones which is a bonus and cooked well so very soft and easy to eat.

Finally, the price is fair and reasonable - many Korean restaurants in London are expensive for small amounts of food and often don't even taste good. Portion size and price makes for very good value for money here - quick and easy grub on the go when you're hungry!

It's a small restaurant though so you won't be able to sit in big groups - takeaway is the main (and currently only) option.

It's good to see they've reopened post lockdown -...

I’ve had a lot of Korean food and may I say this is some of the best I’ve ever had.

The owner who is wonderful and friendly makes everything from scratch and you can taste so much love put into each dish.

The korean fried chicken is incredibly juicy and crispy at the same time. The pork bulgogi bibimbab has so many layers of flavour with phenomenal additions you don’t see everywhere like fried onions and a homemade mayonnaise. An outstanding hidden gem for korean food lovers.

Plus you can even get their homemade kimchi to take home and it is...

What an amazing place, a true hidden gem. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Menu isn't over extensive which is great as the focus is on perfecting the dishes they have. Lots of authentic dishes and drinks avalible all for a fair price. Forget the KFC over the road, spend a couple of quid extra and get yourself the Korean Fried Chicken with rice .. You will not be disappointed and your belly will be full. Highly recommend, you must try it if you're in the area! Best Korean eat in/ takeaway in North...
