JOA Korean Takeaway — Restaurant in London

JOA is Kingston's hidden gem in terms of Korean takeaway. First off, its a bit further away from the main street, yet it has a lot seating area! You are almost always guaranteed a seat, even pre-pandemic. So if you find yourself hungry after shopping around, head here and you'll likely find a seat.

Now let's talk about the taste. Personally their rice stood out for me, its sticky and soft just at the right texture. The foods are also very good, I've tasted most of them!

Even though I don’t like Kokoro it’s 100% better...

This is absolutely my favourite place to grab lunch or for a snack without having to sit down in a restaurant. Its quick and easy and they are very efficient, not only that the food is just so more-rish it just makes my mouth start to water just thinking about it.

I used to go for the egg fried rice and the chicken katsu curry until I found out about chilli chicken and glass noodles. Just a tip, glass noodles are made to order and you have to wait a bit longer but it is definitely worth the wait! This is a must try and you will realise why falling in love with food is the...
