SSÄM - Korean Dining - (Near Islington, london)

5 /5 Roskherin roskherin: We accidentally stumbled upon this small, authentic Korean restaurant and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. The menu isn’t extensive, but honestly that just shows how focused and well-done the food is. We ordered the bibimbap, sundubu jjigae, and bulgogi, and every single dish was delicious. The bibimbap was comforting and flavorful, the sundubu jjigae was perfectly rich and warming, and the bulgogi was tender, juicy, and full of savory goodness. Simple place, big flavors. One of those hidden gems you’re really glad you didn’t walk past.

4 /5 Claire: A cute hole in the wall restaurant run by a Korean pair. Absolutely delicious food and it seems they are BYOB! The only reason I gave 4 stars was that quite of a lot of the menu wasn’t available, so we didn’t have much choice. That being said, the food we ordered was authentic and delicious. I will go back soon!!

5 /5 Elysia Hayman-Finch: What a find!!!! This little restaurant in Holloway Road is serving some seriously tasty Korean food. Yes the atmosphere isn’t great but you don’t eat here for the vibes you eat here for the excellent food and friendly service. My friend and I shared the edamame spring rolls, kimchi pancake, kimchi fried rice with beef and the Korean fried chicken. Each dish was perfect and I want to try more of the menu.

5 /5 Francesca Menzo: One of the best Korean foods I’ve ever had in London!! Tastes so fresh and delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and everything we tried was literally 10/10!! Kinda hard to spot as it is pretty small but definitely worth to come an try it. Service was also great, the lady who served us was very sweet. Definitely recommend!!

5 /5 Gaz AlGhoul: A tiny but authentic Korean place, with a small but carefully curated menu. All the items were fantastic, and I undoubtedly be back.
