Seoul90 Old Street

I agree with the majority of the reviews/comments posted here on Google. The service provided is polite and courteous, and the food tastes good and is presented very well. However, the price is on the high side. One very small bowl of white rice costs £3.50 and this is not even a restaurant, more a cafe and very basic.

STOP for a second and read this folks let papa tell you a tale of two best friends in search of a meal fit for a man turning 35 (but doesn’t look a day over 21!). I had come here on a recommendation with my BF (best friend) who was singing its praises and we both had the day off so decided to go for a spot of lunch. TANGENNNNNT: don’t make the same mistake as us and drive here we paid congestion charge AND a hefty £14 for an hour of parking on a Wednesday which was a punch to the gut which we weren’t quite expecting on an empty stomach. We hobbled in (I was on crutches) and were greeted with a smile so warm it could have boiled a small cup of tea. We were under time pressure because of the god forsaken parking but service was prompt. They had the lunch menu which looked like a good deal but we went for the main menu - no expense spared for my best boy! We got a glass noodles and rice to share and my bf got the KFC and I got the other chicken with the veg (forgot the name but check the pic). My mouth was watering and after a short wait, food was served! That first bite was liquid euphoria I haven’t experienced flavour like that since the great summer of ‘98. Each bite just got better it was so consistent. I had a bite of the KFC too that slapped harder than my Arabic teacher when I forgot my lines. The portions were perfect to satisfy 2 guys in their prime with healthy appetites. We both got the bong bong grape juice which compliments the chicken so well. If we had more time I would have hung around for a bit and checked out their iced tea. It’s a nice place to hang with people coming for work lunches I imagine, great for small groups and even dates. They have cool LEGO figurines and artwork that pays homage to various comics which was also a nice touch there’s never really a dull moment, with plenty to fix your eye on when looking around. We asked for the bill and I didn’t bother looking at the price but from the menu I vaguely recall prices were reasonable considering what you’re getting, the location, and obviously they have the lunch menu I was talking about. To top it off, as we were paying, the super nice lady said to my bf “thanks for coming back” which really made his bday. You don’t get personal touches in customer service like that anymore you just don’t! We walked back to the car with 2 mins to spare, what a day!

The food is absolutely delicious and we highly recommend trying the daily lunch menu. Everything was full of flavour, and the service was good. Great atmosphere too!
