Assa Soho

A feast! So many great options on the menu and I want to try them all! Everything is so delicious and flavourful. The specialty is their hot pots but there are plenty of other options (many of which are vegetarian). We weren’t able to reserve a table in advance so I would recommend going early to get ahead of the queues and best to go with plenty of time.

Great experience of Korean food for the first time. The hot pot was great but the star of the show was the spring onion pancake which was delicious! The peach soju also tasted great and the free cold green tea was good! The only detracting point was that the menu comprised of a couple of bits of dirty paper on a clip board. Some of the food also arrived like warm as well. It’s best to get there early because the queues can get quite large. Dress code: casual Cost: ££ Food: Good Service: Fast Ambience: Loud and lively

Nice but not amazing, and not particularly cheap for what you get. If you dine alone (no hotpots: they serve min. 2), it’s box standard rice / noodle dishes, or several larger starters / dishes, making it a bit too much and an expensive meal for really simple cooking. Service is all about turn over; don’t expect much. Had to really fight to get someone’s advice on what to order which might be more interesting. The lighting for the whole room is white LED strips - so don’t go there for the mood either.
