    I love Korean food and have a mission to go to every Korean restaurant in the UK (or at least most…read moreif them!). Angel is pretty authentic and serves real Korean food. They have a massive menu, serving both Chinese and Korean cuisines. The bibimbap here is excellent, you can choose your protein between beef, chicken, tofu or seafood and it comes lovely steaming hot in the earthen bowl along with the essential bibimbap sauce which is also on the tables if you need more. The portions are on the huge side so you could easily share a dish. They have a few kimchi dishes including a kimchi set, so kimchi lovers will surely enjoy. The restaurant is located up a stairs beside a Chinese buffet place, and is open pretty late until 10pm. It's massive inside with lots of round tables and appears to be very popular with Asian customers too from when I visited. Overall, if you're looking for some good authentic Korean or Chinese, I really recommend Angel. The staff were lovely and very helpful, they also were nice to explain things on the menu.

    Tremendously disppointing experience ! We arrived at the restaurant at 7:45pm, the restaurant…read morerefused to serve us. We are regular customers at the restaurant, we have never been treated this badly before. The reason behind us not being served the night was not clarified, they gave us a simple answer ' boss said we don't take orders'. I am extremely upset at such poor treatment, I think it is completely unacceptable. The closing time of the restaurant is at 10pm and given that we reached at a normal dinner time at 7:45pm , the restaurant is not full and several ( around 7 ) empty tables were available, it is completely ridiculous for the restaurant not being able to serve us. There is nothing more disappointing than turning up to a restaurant to the appreciate and enjoy their food, but ending up being refused at the door. I truly hope the Angel Restaurant improves on their service and acknowledge that this is not the applicable way to treat customers.

    Kimchi is a nice casual korean cafe style restaurant and the food here is limited but good quality…read moreand all priced under £10. I had the kimchi tofu jigae and the kimchi pancake which was pretty big but tasted amazing. In the jigae they also added a poached egg into it which gave it a nice taste, and the spicy factor was perfect; not too spicy. The service is average bit efficient, the food came quite quickly and another good thing is that banchan is served complimentary here, which doesn't seem to be the case with many UK korean restaurants. They also have some Japanese dishes on the menu like sushi, gyoza, temaki and teriyaki. There is parking right outside and it's pay and display but very cheap: 50p for 30 mins and £1 for an hour. The atmosphere is very casual like a cafe, so it's great for lunch as well as dinner. Overall, authentic and tasty Korean food that's well priced and made to a great standard.

    I have eaten Korean food all over the world, and this is very close to authentic. I usually order…read moreChampong if they serve it, but they don't serve it at Ban Di Bul, so I ordered what I considered the next closest thing, Spicy Seafood Ramen, and it was excellent. Noodles were perfectly al dente, the seafood was a little sparse, but there were mussels, shrimp, and calmari. I always take in the locale and give some leeway. However, this was excellent. I wish that they would've included banchan (side dishes) like they do in many countries.

    I really wanted soon tofu and came across this place as the other place I was going to was a bit…read moretoo far of a walk. I had to wait about twenty minutes to be seated since I was alone and there wasn't a lot of tables for small groups. I ordered fairly quickly and the staff asked if I wanted anything to drink to which I said just water (not sure if they charge extra for it). The soon tofu was quite small (I guess I'm used to BCD size) and was just okay. There were also no side dishes that came with it but the food came by fast. I also didn't end up getting my water but just left. I didn't realize that the restaurant has service charge (not sure if it was posted anywhere). Overall, I found the price that I paid not worth the food that I ate. I'd try to look for another Korean place to compare it to.
