Christoff's take on this local spot

My Honest Review

Atmosphere & Ambiance

Seoul Bakery offers a unique atmosphere in london. The venue has its own character that sets it apart from similar establishments in the area. Independent family-owned Korean eatery serving Londoners for 19 years! No-frills, cash-only service in a compact, cozy space near Tottenham Court Road. Walls covered in customer doodles and anime-style art create a homely, student-friendly atmosphere. Authentic Korean cuisine featuring beef bibimbap (£6-7), crispy pork dumplings (£5), kimchi fried rice, gimbap, and seafood pancakes. All vegetarian options available. Quick, hearty portions served in canteen-style tableware. Takeout offered. Often busy with 30+ minute queues at peak times. Popular with students and Asian crowd. Open 11:00-15:00 and 17:00-20:00, Sundays 11:00-19:00, closed Tuesdays. Rated 4.2/5 on TripAdvisor (#3206 of 19717 London restaurants). Praised for authentic food, generous portions, and incredible value - most dishes under £8, lunch for two around £20. Considered one of the cheapest eats in Central London!
