Came here as a group of six people. We had made a reservation in advance.
We asked for some assistance to better understand the menu (portion sizes, how much food we should order for six people). The lady who served us wasn’t especially helpful and offered us no explanation. She was quite unwelcoming to the point that it made our group feel quite uncomfortable, which should never be the case when you go out to a restaurant to enjoy dinner.
Despite the cold and unhelpful service, I must say that I really enjoyed the food. We tried a range of dishes - the seafood noodles and the spicy prawns were especially nice.
This restaurant clearly has much to offer but the overall dining experience was let down by the service - a little bit of training for staff would go a long way, and I would have no hesitation in upping this to a 5 star review.

A great bbq dinner experience in the centre of London. We had wagyu rib eye, marinated pork belly, bulgogi, prawn tempura, and fried rice. All the meats were delicious, juicy, and melted in mouth. The tempura batter could have been a bit thinner, but overall, it was extraordinary.
I've been to a few Korean bbq places and can say this one definitely has stuck. So glad they were able to fit us in as I did not book prior.
The food was delicious. Everything was well seasoned and cooked well. We thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. Will definitely be my go to when I'm craving Korean bbq. The japchae was top notch. The only small critique would be the salad/vege which you eat with the Korean bbq could have more of a variety rather than just lettuce, esp as it's £5.

Had a good experience at Olle KBBQ. Most authentic Korean BBQ place that you can cook for yourself in London. Excellent food - delicious high quality cuts of meat, tender and very well seasoned. Great atmosphere- staff were very attentive and polite. Prices were reasonable for a central London location. Highly Recommend.
Korean BBQ at the table. Different selections of meat and vegetables and option to share.
I enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, a bit spicy. And my youngest enjoyed a delicious noodles soup.
Lovely staff. Decoration is a bit minmum and boring, but the food is really amazing!!

If you are craving authentic Korean food, this is the place you should visit. We tried to get reservations beforehand but came to know on weekends they don’t take reservations, it’s first come first serve. When we reached, the queue was long but it didn’t take much time to get seated as they have downstairs seating as well.
Tbh the best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to in the UK so far! Marinated Pork Belly, and Beef Bulgogi is my favourite. It tastes phenomenal. Korean Fried chicken with Sweet and spicy sauce also tastes very good. The food was delicious and the price was decent. Really enjoyed the food and my time here, great if you're looking for a Korean BBQ experience where you can cook your own stuff at the table.
Overall, it’s a 5-star restaurant. Definitely returning back for other offerings.

Ordered the £75 set menu, the Korean fried chicken, the Naeng Myeon (cold noodles) and some steamed rice. We probably ordered one dish too many as we were so full by the end of it. The dishes were very good and the service was good too. However one of the waiters came over to cut the meat and place them onto the grill for us while we were still eating the noodles and chicken. This made us feel rushed as we didn't want our food over cooked especially our beef. We had to pause with our noodles and chicken to eat the bbq meat, however when that was finished, the same waiter came over to fill our whole grill again with all the meat available. I stopped him immediately and said we wanted to take our time eating and didn't want our food overcooked so he left us. He didn't do that to anyone else on the other tables and they were able to take their time eating, whereas we felt very rushed, which is why I've given this review 4 stars. The other waitresses were very pleasant.
