Koba

Yu L. ( 20s, Female, United Kingdom )

I took my boyfriend there to celebrate his 30th after reading good reviews online. However, the food, service and price were not as expected. The portions are a lot smaller compared to other better korean restaurants in London but more pricey, which is fine if it's a high end korean restaurant but it's not. Not only the portions are smaller they charge higher than other korean restaurants. I thought I would go to Koba for a change since I've been eating at my regular korean places for the last 5 years. They don't serve you the usual stuff like other korean places, such as 2 or 3 different dips for your BBQ and complimentary side dishes (kimchi/cucumber/sprouts etc) that comes with the BBQ. The spring onions were not enough for two people. Quality of good was not great; glass noodles and stone bowl rice were cooked differently and rather tasteless and missing some usual ingredients. This place is packed with tourists and locals who probably don't know their korean food very well. You don't really see many oriental people there coz surely they know it is not the korean place to be!
