Assa is a small Korean restaurant near Tottenham Court Road tube station that has recently expanded, opening a second branch in Soho. Obviously they’ve been successful in their first home, because this second one is far bigger and more comfortable than the first poky (but cosy) venue.
Korean food is pretty good. It’s spicier than Japanese and not quite as varied as Chinese, but certainly worth investigating if you like Asian food at all. Some decent chicken with rice, spicy chicken with vegetables, a seafood omelette pancake, grilled pork belly and thin glass noodles with vegetables all disappeared without any fuss.
It’s not spectacular. But then I don’t think there is anywhere in the UK that you can get spectacular Korean food. But Assa, along with Ran, makes Soho a decent place to go if you feel like getting into Korean cuisine. Assa is definitely worth a look, and it won’t set you back much either.
