The Blog About Nothing... in London!: Korean Fried Chicken in London [Closed]

My dad was a cook during the Korean War.

Something very bad happened, ever since you can't get him near a kitchen

I have been looking for a nice KFC in London. No! I’m not talking about the chain but Korean Fried Chicken. I tried this in Melbourne and loved them immediately. But I finally found one place in London. Jubo is a Korean canteen in Shoreditch. Residence on the Bedroom Bar, classic menu with fried chicken, steak sub, steamed buns, and of course kimchi. I hadn't seen a menu like this since my incursions in Melbourne.

The place

We went straight to business wings and strips, half soy garlic and half hot & sweet. Great flavours, perfectly cooked crispy and tender, the garlic was the favourite.

Then some slow cooked pork belly buns, traditional approach, pickle cucumber, hoisin, and sriracha sauce. Really nice, good flavours again.

Buns

Hirata style

Finally the Bulgogi Sub. Bulgogi skirt beef, caramelised onions, peppers, and cheese. Nice, good flavour, served in a soft bun style.

Sub

Jubo is my finger food kind of place, good flavours, nice beer selection, and great fried chicken. I love this new addition to our restaurant circuit. The chicken was so good we kept ordering more and more.
