As someone who hadn't tried Korean food before it was amazing to have so many options! I already can't wait to go back and try more! The lady who was running the restaurant was also incredibly sweet and welcoming which really added to the whole experience!

Pros: Friendly service, Amazing options, Really quick service

Definitely worth a visit

It was hard to not order everything!! I especially liked the kimchi pancake and Korean fried chicken. Fast and fresh. Vegan Korean is rare so definitely worth a visit here!

Fantastic vegan Korean food

As someone who NEEDS spicy food, I love this place. The Tteokbokkii (spicy rice noodles) aren’t super hot, but they’re really fun, chewy and satisfying. The owners are lovely and staff were great today.

Pros: Tteokbokkii with cheese, Fried seaweed rolls, Kimchi

Such tasty food! Very reasonably priced and good service. Highly recommend. We tried tteokbokki, kimchi pancake, and the beef bowl was incredible.

Amazing!

We visited this place last night not expecting too much. Not because of any bad reviews but because it was a rushed decision. But oh my word!!! The food is so delicious. We tried kimchi - because I've been obsessed with fermented food since I was a child and it was very yummy. I also tried yuzu tea which was very interesting. The Korean pancake was definitely better than the one we make at home. We couldn't get enough of it. We also tried the dumplings and seaweed rolls with glass noodles inside. Honestly! Delicious delicious vegan food. Thank you!!

Delish Korean food

Very small, so get there quick for dinner! It tasted authentic, the portion sizes were great, and the vibe was very cute. The pancake things were great! I wanted to try proper tteokbokki as I've made it at home, but sadly learnt it's not my thing 😂 loved everything else though!! Good prices too.

Beautiful food and service

Really enjoyed this cute Korean eatery today! Fully vegan and the owner is really nice and welcoming. She recommended the signature dishes from the menu with kimchi pancake and fat roll, with yuzu tea. Loved it and will be back.

Pros: Spicy crispy pancake , Mega fat roll Kimbap with vegan sausage , Welcoming friendly place

Cons: No cons

SO FRIKKEN CUTE!!!

We stopped in at Mukbap for our last lunch in London today and were greeted by the owners mother - the warmest, most wonderful human with a beautiful energy who welcomed us into their small shop with our giant bags and made room for us, despite the restaurant being quite full already. She chatted to us while we ordered and was genuinely interested in what we were up to, where we’d come from, and our cat. I know it seems a little irrelevant to the review but I can’t stress just how much chatting to her made our day.

As for the food, it was fu**ing awesome. We got the japchae, the spicy cucumbers, the sushi roll and the vegie pancakes. We will be back on our next trip for sure!

Pros: The staff , The food, Everything is good just go here

Cute vegan place

Amazing authentic Korean food, we all loved what we ordered (beef bibimbap, seaweed, and dumplings) and the vegan substitutes were great.
Was a bit too salty for my taste, but would still highly highly recommend!

Pros: Beef bibimbap , Peach juice, Dumplings

Cons: Small space (but adds to the cuteness), A little too salty

Delicious!

I really enjoyed my visit to MukBap! It’s only a small restaurant, with seating for only around 10 people, so it’s worth arriving early. Me and my wife arrived just after it opened at 12 and it wasn’t long until it was full.

They have an interesting menu and we went for a variety of dishes including Kimchi Pancake (Kimchijeon), Crispy Fried Seaweed Rolls (Kimmari) and Fat Roll (Kimbap) for starters, and Sweet Potato Noodle (Japchae) and “Beef” with Rice (Bulgogi) for mains.

I really enjoyed all of the food! There were lots of different flavours and textures and it was all really tasty and satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the Kimchi Pancake which was delicious. The seaweed rolls were also so good! The Sweet Potato Noodle had a great flavour and I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles in the dish. The “beef” in the Bulgogi also had a great meaty texture and rich flavour.

All the food was delicious and I would definitely recommend a visit!

Pros: Delicious flavours, Interesting dishes

Cons: Limited seating

Absolutely wonderful. The Bibimbap with vegan beef was very flavorful and felt pretty healthy, just what I was looking for.

Great if you've never had Korean food

This little restaurant looks cute and the staff (we only interacted with one person) was lovely. It is very small and doesn't have a toilet, I would suggest the owner to pair up with a nearby pub for the customers to use the loos (I've seen it done in other small restaurants).
Now to the food: if you've never had Korean food, don't know how to cook any Asian dish or never set food in an Asian supermarket, this place will make you happy. The food is good but quite simple, and a few dishes simply come out of a bag, like the seaweed rolls. I love them, they are very tasty and I used to buy them frozen so I am 100% sure that they are the same. Gimbap was fresh and nice, kimchi jeon (kimchi pancake) came out very quickly so I'm inclined to think it was premade. The kimchi stir fried rice was really good, my favourite of the food we've tried. I would have liked to try the mandu but didn't because they were 4£ for 3 which to me is ridiculously expensive.
I was looking forward to this restaurant but I don't think I'll go back. There's a Korean restaurant near the Barbican with a separate vegan menu and you can have authentic bibimbap in the stone dish, so if you're not in a hurry, go there.

Pros: Kimchi fried rice

Cons: No loos, Some dishes are shop bought frozen , A little overpriced

Delicious

I’d never tried Korean food before so was very excited to try this and it didn’t disappoint! The food was delicious and full of flavour. Will make an effort to come back each time I come back to London!

Overrated

Disappointed with my order. The kimbap lacked fresh flavour and the inclusion of sausage with an unhealthy sauce was off-putting. As for the “cucumber kimchi”, it was merely fresh cucumber slices in gochujang, lacking the fermentation entirely... not exactly what’s expected and didn’t leave a particularly good impression.

I went yesterday and it was a disappointment, I also didn't expect those sausages in the gimbap and even in the fried rice ... !

Went with no expectations, left with best Korean food i’ve ever had. Kimbap and bulgogi were to die for.

Very tasty

What a lovely surprise to find a fully vegan Korean place in central London. We had the Kimchi pancake, veggie pancake, crispy fried seaweed rolls. The food was fresh, light and tasty. 🙏

Koreano 100% plant based

Localino minuscolo, noi abbiamo preso da asporto ( possibile anche prenotare tramite deliveroo). Ottimo il kimbap davvero consigliato! Abbiamo provato anche riso con stufato di carne ( seitan) e il pancake coreano con verdure. Quest’ultimo non mi è piaciuto, molto unto, troppo

Pros: Kimbap , gentilezza del personale

Cons: Orari di apertura strani, chiudono prestissimo!
