• raw squid, no sorry

  i returned the squid in chilli sauce with some pieces clearly not cooked through (not meant to be like that). the waitor took it without saying sorry and showed us a long face. a few minutes later, they sent the same dish out (reheated judging on the portion), still not cooked through. the beef in beef hotpot was cooked, but the slices of beef are like matches, size and taste wise. i remembered it being a tasty restaurant and took my friend there, but the food and service were pure disappointment that night (after the refurb). not going back.

• Kool Korean

  You often see queues outside. I wouldn't describe it as cheap - average cost of a 2 course meal will be £15-20. But the food is good, different and worth trying. Depending on what you order. The large bowls of spicy soup are excellent. They work out at around £9 each. Very tasty, warming and filling especially during the wet wintery weather. The marinated pork was pretty good as was the spicy soup with poached egg, beancurd and mussels. There are two other Korean restaurants in the same road - this is the most popular one! I'd come back again for the soup!

• We loved it!

  We found this little restaurant by chance and had a lovely time. The deco is no thrills, but don't let that put you off.The food was exciting and fresh and the waitress and all working there made as feel very comfortable.As starter we had some Jelly Fish on a mustard sauce and some nibbles choosen by our host. As main we had a hot pot of beef and baby octopus, which was simply divine.We'll definetly go back to try all those other exciting looking dishes, which we just couldn't fit in.A great value for money too

• Cheap, nothing special

  A cheap but hardly amazing Korean, one of a clutch on the street. The service is reasonable and the meals I've had there aren't bad by any means - just don't expect anything out of this world.

• Not as good as expected

  I've sampled Korean food before so I think I can tell good from not-so-good Korean food and Woo Jung is closer to the latter end of the spectrum, judging from the two separate occasions I've dined here. I've tried a few "classic" Korean dishes but were disappointed not only by the taste but also the presentation - eg. the bibimbap wasn't in a stone bowl even though it was stated on the menu. The waiters are not able to be very helpful with the menu as they are still learning English. The place doesn't feel very clean but I guess it's what you can expect from an average cheap eatery.
