YORI Guildford: Reviews & Ratings
The best Korean restaurant in London full stop. Food was absolutely delicious and the waiters were all courteous and nice We only went to try it out while visiting our daughter at University but will now be a regular spot for us. What a find!
We had a lovely experience in Yori, the food delivery was quick & on time. Special thank you to staff member, Pratit who was friendly, approachable and great customer service. We would highly recommend here to everyone.
Even if you come alone, you can still order Korean BBQ! I used to live in Korea so I miss Korean food and lot. Found this place with a very high review and not disappointed. 1st walking into the restaurant they have a Korean style photo booth. And then I met with Ash, he's very nice and friendly and gave me a very good service... out of my expectation. I honestly feel like I am in Korea . Korean people are very kind and yes he is! I took quite a long time to choose the menu but can't decided because I walked here for Korean BBQ but they have a set of 2 so I was looking for something else because I really want to eat various kind of menu and I can't decided because I wanted to eat a lot... So I had to tell Ash that I came for Korean BBQ but with the set, I must not be able to finish so he suggested me to order 1 plates of meat and then the chef will cook for me. While I'm waiting for food, I saw this robot moving around serving food so high-tech and so cute! Futuristic like in Korea... When the food arrived, the taste is super original like when I ate in Korea... I would give here 10 out of 5 if I could!!! I hope to be back here anytime soon but next time I'll come more than 1 person so I could try more than 1 dishes. It would be nice if they'll have something like Korean tapas/small starter for fried chicken, pizza pajoen & etc. Because like me when I miss Korean food and I wanted to eat everything but a little of each. Maybe they have it but I didn’t look carefully or ask Ash. Well, Thank you for yummy food and friendly and super kind service from Ash again... I'll come back here again for sure.
With a robot helping to bring food and drinks, my first experience with Yori commenced. Great food, the Kimchi rice with the correct egg on top, fresh and slightly fermented kimchi, was superb. This is the only Korean restaurant that actually serves free appetisers as is the norm in real Korean establishments.
If I could give 10 stars I would. Food was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back. Chicken and beef BBQ stunning.
We dined at this establishment on a weekday evening and found it to be pleasantly uncrowded. The ambiance was consistent with other Korean restaurants in the area, offering a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Regarding the cuisine, we opted for the Korean barbecue beef set. While the cost of the meal was slightly higher than average, we found it to be well worth the investment. The serving size was more than adequate for two individuals. We intend to return in the future to sample additional menu items.
We found this place by chance, initially we had visited a restaurant in Staines, that since then has expanded or has been bought out by this franchise. We went at a time that is normally a break between their busy lunch session and then later on they have a busy dinner period. I think we got there around 2:30pm. Anyhow there was only one waitress there who seemed a bit overwhelmed and was busy cleaning. Anyhow once we got seated she was great, we ordered the beef BBQ platter. The flavours were immense and it was great to be able to cook there and eat the hot meat. The food was excellent but they maybe need to improve a little on the ambience and get more staff. We would though recommend and they are halal certified.
We had the most amazing experience at this restaurant, would absolutely visit again next time we’re in Guildford. The staff were exceptional, especially the tall Korean gentleman, he made our dinner 10x better by providing excellent service and even drinks on the house! We ordered the halal chicken BBQ set and was shown how to eat it in a lettuce wrap (쌈) which was delicious and surprisingly very filling. There’s even a photobooth where you can take pictures with accessories and filters. 이 레스토랑은 훌륭하고 직원들도 훌륭합니다. 감사합니다.
