Halal Reviews for Yori Cambridge

Execution is uneven and misses several fundamentals that diners should expect from a proper Korean meal. • Banchan (side dishes): Only three small dishes were offered. No refills. A typical Korean restaurant would serve at least five to seven varieties, refreshed upon request. • Kimchi: Surprisingly, kimchi was not included as part of the banchan. Instead, it cost £3.50 extra. For a Korean restaurant, this is nearly unthinkable. To add to the disappointment, the kimchi’s flavor was flat and lacked the depth of proper fermentation. • Bibimbap: Took a long time to prepare. Served room temperature, not hot. In an authentic dolsot (stone bowl) bibimbap, the rice should sizzle against the bowl and form a crisp golden crust. • Mushrooms in bibimbap: Tasted and looked like canned mushrooms—cold, lifeless, and out of place in a dish that should celebrate freshness. • After effects: Overall food quality was poor, and the meal left us with bloating afterwards. Suggestions • Banchan should be expanded (at least 5–7 dishes) and refilled without charge. • Kimchi must be included, and its quality improved. If charged separately, it should be excellent—not disappointing. • Bibimbap must arrive sizzling in the bowl. Otherwise, it loses its signature character. • Avoid canned or cold components in key dishes. 1.5/5

Not recommended. Worst korean meal ive ever had. Plain and average Bibimbap was okay. Bulgogi was meh. Definitely a chain restaurant and not authentic. Kimchi pancake was trash. Hardly any kimchi in it! There was like 4 tiny pieces. It was mostly flour.

Popped in for lunch whilst shopping in Cambridge, restaurant was very busy with just one table free. We were quickly seated. Service was a little slow but okay. Drinks came over quickly. Food was fantastic we all ate from the lunch special. Will visit again to try more from the menu

I have a love hate relationship with this place. The food is okay and not very tasty. The bbq is a bit on the expensive side but I wouldn’t say that it’s totally not a good value for your money. However it is definitely not an authentic Korean bbq. The servers on the other hand, pressure you to order as soon as possible without really letting you look at the menu and let you think of what you want to eat. Our server was literally on top of us. It was very annoying. It feels like they want to deal with you as soon as but when you ask for the bill they take forever to bring it to you. The place was not very clean and smells of burned food, which fair, it’s a bbq place. I wouldn’t say suggest going to London or to the other York place in Cambridge if you want a better bbq experience and value for your money.

I had a bibimbap craving and decided to call in at Yori to give them a go. All in all, it was pretty good! Felt extremely great value for what I was served. Had all the right flavours. Would happily call in again and try other menu items
