BUT, is it really good?
My friend used to work there for a year, and told their meat quality varies from bad to excellent.
Olle London Is a high-end Korean BBQ restaurant but Sometimes It Falls Short on Meat Quality
If a famous person comes, they would even pre-order the best quality meat, but normally they would carry normal to good quality.
I am not saying it is bad, but for the price of the meat, I think the quality should be more consistent. Cause even for me I felt the Rib Eye was amazing the first time and second time it was chewy.
But is there any other alternatives? I think the best alternative is Koba London. Koba also has a luxury vibe to it, but because no celebrities like BTS went, it is under most people’s radar.

Yes, I might have been harsh but the food in general is good. Especially a la cartes i.e. hot stone bibimbap and Neangmyeon (cold noodle).
Also, their Yuk Hwae (Beef Tartar) is famous.
Do Not Order Their Fried Chicken as It Is Super Dry.
But not a la cartes are equal as fried chicken is super dry. If you are looking for good fried chicken check my link below.
