Wow! - Edit
Picked at random when we were staying nearby. Small corner restaurant amid the seething masses in Brick Lane. We had the Tramezzini and the sausage & bean casserole. The latter was rich and delicious, the former unexpectedly tasty. (Photo shows only one of the three bits of this dish). Really good kimchi too. We finished with the pistachio ice cream on a bed of chocolate mousse.
Read moreA lovely meal, the chef seemed a really interesting character, very friendly.
Only weird thing was seeing Tennants Super Lager on the drinks menu: in Scotland that’s usually the tipple of the jaikies.

Unique concept, well executed - Edit
Italian dishes with kimchi is a very unique and honestly weird combination, but here it is executed perfectly. I loved the gnocchi al pesto. The chef is welcoming, and they even had one of my favorite Italian beers.

Overpriced and mediocre - Edit
I had the sushi burger, which was okay but tiny and I left still hungry. The pink mayo was overwhelming and on everything. The Italian-Korean fusion concept feels a little bit gimmicky. I’d recommend tofu vegan around the corner if you’re looking for good food at a similar price range.

Great options and amazing chocolate mochi - Edit
They give you a small plate of different kimchis to recommend dishes based on the kimchis you liked. It’s a small place but the food is great. I had the sausage plate, and it was tasty. Make sure to try the dark chocolate mochi!

Questionable hygiene - Edit
The venue and hygiene practices are highly questionable. Lost my appetite while waiting for our order. The kimchi itself tasted good but the dishes they prepared with it were highly underwhelming. Also not as healthy as they claim to be: the mayo they put everywhere is gross and despite claiming to use no sugar, the mochi was insanely sweet…

Yeeees!!! - Edit
Passion is flowing in this kitchen. The owner is so nice, and has perfected this concept.
Read moreYou start by trying the different types of kimchi, and choose what type you want your meal based around. And the meals are very varied, with inspiration from both Asia and Europe.
Lots of information about kimchi too, and knowledge about veganism.
Go here!!
Pros: Everything

One of the best vegan restaurants in London - Edit
Good quality food made with love. It is a married couple of an Italian man and a Korean woman. And together they bring happiness both to the clients and to the belly. Would recommend booking simce the place is pretty small. A must in London. A lil expensive.

Excellent Italian/Korean fusion restaurant - Edit
What makes a great restaurant is not only the food, but the staff as well. I was greeted promptly when entering the small establishment. I was seated by a woman who appears to be the owner. She immediately brought over 4 different colors of kimchi for me to try with the ultimate goal of choosing a color for my meal. She gave a brief explanation of kimchi and how healthy it is for our bodies. She was so passionate when doing this. I chose yellow and ordered the gnocco al pesto and kimbap. The gnocco was excellent and the kimchi paired well with it (who would have thought). The kimbap was good but I would have probably preferred something else. I would definitely recommend you visit this place.

I am obsessed with this Italian-Korean fusion restaurant 🇮🇹🫶🇰🇷 the food is truly TRULY sooo delicious!
Read moreWe had:
🍣 Sushi burger: black bean and plantain patty, Mayo, kimchi, spinach and chilli sauce, wedged between two layers of rice on crispy seaweed.
🍛 Kimchi tempeh: fermented soya beans, cooked with Kimchi, served with rice and topped with spring onions, vegan Parmesan and spicy fermented vegan sauce
🍘 Inari: sweet tofu pocket filled with rice and beans
🍶 shots of butterfly pea kimchi

Such a fun experience, nice food - Edit
The owners and staff are amazing, much to learn from them about health and cooking! We got two kimchi cocktails which didn’t taste much like kimchi but were still great, two inari sushi with red kimchi, sushi burger (gf), the toppegnochi, and a chocolate covered mochi. All good, not fabulous. Fun place to be though!
