Always good food and service at Yeonga Korean BBQ. Price is reasonable too. Do note surcharge on weekends and cards but these are clearly written for you to make your choice.

We had our team lunch here. The service was pretty good except one of the team has to wait quite a while for their food to arrive. We were able to pay individually which is a bonus.

Last time I went here was over a year ago, but I was sad on this recent visit to realise they no longer have the salmon on the menu. The veggie options were unsuitable for me, so it was dearly missed! But the soju cocktails are great value and the meat lovers I attended with thoroughly enjoyed.
