Korean omakase restaurant opens in Kensington

Korean Grill Kensington (KGK) has opened in London, offering the only Korean omakase dining experience in the local area. 

The restaurant celebrates Korean barbecue culture, with each table housing an inbuilt tabletop-style grill. The King Kalbi is KGK's signature dish, presenting diners with a diamond-cut beef short rib marinated with KGK's signature sauce, ready to be grilled. Non-marinated Japanese wagyu ribeye steak is also available for guests to grill at the table, along with whole tiger prawns and seasonal vegetables. 

Appetisers include yukhoe (pictured) – Korean beef tartare, flavoured with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and Korean pear, topped with egg yolk. A la carte mains include pork belly su-yuk with ssamjang, while desserts such as soybean ice cream and traditional Korean puddings are also available. 

The a la carte offering comes in at around £65 per head, while KGK offers lunchtime set menus between £22–25, including Korean salads, a choice of bulgogi (marinated beef), rice/soup, bibimbap and a seasonal dessert. A vegan menu is also available.
