It was such a hot day today, but the cold noodles just hit the spot for me. It was so delicious and refreshing! The fried chicken wings are crispy and the spicy sauce on it is just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness. Spicy pork bibimbap is tasty too. Price is also reasonable.

I came here simply because it’s the closest Korean BBQ to my place, and it was recommended by my Korean friends. It may not bring you 100% authentic Korean flavors, but it definitely satisfies any meat lover’s cravings.

A great local restaurant with a huge variety of options from mains / sides / starters & BBQ. We opted to go for one of the BBQ set menus & a side of veg noodle soup. Portions are very generous and the beef was marinated very well & tasted exceptionally nice!! Service is very efficient & fast. It does get slightly busy especially during usual dinner times. Definitely recommending this place!!!!

Absolutely fantastic meal, got the BBQ set 2 and everything was amazing. Left feeling comfortably full and would absolutely return again. Staff were attentive without hovering, bathrooms were immaculate, and the entire restaurant was very clean. I even saw one staff member just wipe the floor because it felt a little sticky under their shoe. This was actually my first Korean BBQ experience and it was wonderful, would absolutely return again!

All of the dishes in this table cost less than £60 - Yes, it is a value for money! But the definition of the value for money has re-defined from here as it’s not just about the economy of dining but what’s in the menus! One crystal example: It’s worth exploring the Noodle set - an economic but contains bunch of joyful moments for your mouth and your mind full of Korean cuisine and CULTURE!!! Definitely recommend!

First time having KBBQ in London and couldn’t have went to a better restaurant! We ordered the BBQ 5 House Special which included the meats to grill and a choice of bibimbap. You can also ask them to change the grill plate when needed. We also ordered a mul nenmyun which blew my mind. Though it was a cold dish and I’d never tried before, I didn’t know what to expect but the flavors were great. The seafood soondubu jiigae was amazing, also came with a small side of plain rice. The tofu was was so smooth and melts in your mouth! The fried chicken was the absolute star of the evening. We ordered a full se and got half spicy and half soy sauce which also came with your choice of 2x soft drinks. I was expecting it to be really spicy but it was a tolerable amount of spice for me. It was nice & crispy and I can honestly say it’s the best Korean fried chicken I’ve had so far! They also give you complimentary sauces, side salads (the sauce for the salad was the best part for me 😂) and wraps for your bbq meat). Service was great and the server was patient with us when we were still making last minute decisions! Each person ended up paying around £25 which I think it’s pretty decent. It definitely does fill you up!

We’re thrilled to hear that your first KBBQ experience in London was with us and that you enjoyed the BBQ 5 House Special, mul naengmyeon, and seafood soondubu jjigae.

It sounds like the complimentary sides and attentive service made the experience even better. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for more great meals!

Been meaning to try this place for a while. Decided to go for one of the set menus which was BBQ 2, seafood pancake and the Korean fried chicken. Prices are reasonable. Service was great, Avi was amazing, really friendly and attentive. Rupasa was also great and kept our glasses of water filled which we appreciated. Would come back and try more of the menu:)

My family has visited the spicy grill several times over the years. Each time, we have not been disappointed (except when there are no free tables!). Staff are friendly and attentive. Even brought us some water when my kids ate more spice than they could handle! 😂 I recommend the fried chicken wings with the soya sauce base and also ask for a side dip of the sweet chilli sauce. It's absolutely amazing! Their seafood soup with a side portion of rice is also recommended on a cold day (item number C7). If you're a kimchi fan, this is the place to go! They make their own kimchi here. My daughter loves it. We had to order a second portion because she ate it all. Normally, I post photos of the food we ordered, but we were eager to eat every time we visited and completely forgot! The best picture we have is of the BBQ grill. (Which is also recommended!)

Dear Peter, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed 5-star review! It truly means a lot to us that your family has continued to visit Spicy Grill over the years — we're honoured to be part of your dining memories. We're thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed the food, especially the soy-based fried chicken wings, seafood soup (C7!), and our house-made kimchi — we're so happy your daughter loves it! 😊 Your kind words about our staff are also greatly appreciated. We always try our best to be attentive, especially when the spice sneaks up on little ones! 😂 We hope next time you manage to snap a photo before digging in — but honestly, we're just glad the food is too tempting to wait! Looking forward to seeing you and your family again very soon. Warmest regards, Yun

Authentic and deliciously great. Spicy Grill is one of the only Korean restaurants in the local area that serves Korean BBQ and at a affordable price. The menu boasts a selection of Korean favourites for starters they have seafood pancake, glass noodles to debokki. Besides BBQ (chicken, beef and pork) they also serve a variety of noodle, soup and rice Mains. Highly recommend the special menu jjejungmen, jangbon & fried chicken or pork. Overall service was great. Staff was friendly and food came at a reasonable time. The restaurant is medium size great for a group of friends. Great place for a quick lunch of a dinner one if the best Korean restaurants up North London.

I would recommend always adding kimchi to add more flavour. Jinro Korean shots are a must. Interestingly I went to a local Korean place in golders green that I have reviewed, but they changed the menu, and now spicy grill is the best I have found in the area. Price wa reasonable for the quantity. They said it would feed 4. I ate it all
