Bi Won Korean Restaurant

Came here after going to the Arsenal vs Man U soccer match to satisfy Irene's desire for Korean food. Irene's first choice was actually Naru across the road but they were closed so we ended up at her second choice.

The decor of the restaurant was clean and modern; quite comfortable. Food choice was not as extensive as other Korean restaurants that we've been and perhaps it was the dishes we ordered but everything seemed a bit bland and uninteresting.


For starters, we got a seafood pancake. This was actually quite good despite the severe lack of seafood. For mains, we got a tofu stew and a marinated chicken. What came was exactly that. The tofu stew was simply a few pieces of tofu in a stew that consisted of a weak soup and some chilli oil. Though it tasted OK, I was disappointed by the lack of imagination of the stew, not to mention the tiny pot that it came in. The marinated chicken, too, was exactly that - a few pieces of chicken covered in what I guess is the marinate and sitting atop a pile of raw onion.



Though it might well be just our poor choice of dishes, but the completely unimaginative dishes that we got is more than enough to steer us well clear of this place in the future!
