Sodaeng — Restaurant in London

I recently visited Sodaeng Korean Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a warm and cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy authentic Korean food. The staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain the menu, which I really appreciated.

The food was the highlight of the visit. I ordered the LA Galbi (marinated short ribs) and spicy pork belly, both of which were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Ox Bone Broth (Galbi Tang) was incredibly rich and comforting, perfect for a cold evening. The side dishes, including kimchi and pickles, were fresh and delicious, adding great variety to the meal.

Portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food served. The service was quick despite the restaurant being quite busy, which shows how well-managed it is. I would definitely recommend booking a table in advance, as this place is popular!

Overall, Sodaeng Korean Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this restaurant will not disappoint. I’ll definitely be...

Brilliant service, the staff were so friendly and patient answering our questions. Attentive throughout our dining experience to help turn and off fire. When we came on Wednesday evening there were loads of empty seats, but my friend said on her previous visits it was pretty busy.

We had the Gamja Tang hotpot which said on the menu recommend for 3 people but we were 2, it is a lot of food because we also ordered rice, stuffed after the meal. We originally were going to share one portion of rice but seeing the size of the rice, we ordered one more - the rice came in small bowls. First time having Korean hotpot, really enjoyed it, I haven’t seen any other places offer this option yet. The potato slices in the hotpot were so well cooked, the pork bones were so meaty and breaks apart easily, Chinese leaves in the soup just makes you want to keep eating.

They gave us 3 side dishes which we didn’t order, bean sprouts, potatoes, pickled cucumbers, all of them were good!

Drinks were okay, the sweet rice drink had this nutty flavour, I’ve had rice drink before but this for me was a...

A wonderful surprise, my first Korean restaurant, and so lucky it’s in Putney!!

In a nutshell, delicious food, and this place made me realise I love ❤️ Korean food 🤩

I should’ve noted the names of the dishes we’d ordered, we were 4 of us:

As starters we ordered squid, and dumplings - look at the photo

And as main, I was the odd one out and ordered a lovely spicy pork fillet while all others went for the seafood stew, which gets cooked on the stove in the table - again take a pip at the photos

Flavours were unexpected and delightful, different, and leaving you with that feeling to be back soon!

No wonder it took many calls and weeks until we managed to get a table…

Will definitely be back soon, highly...
