Oppa Korean Restaurant is a Korean dining room at 70 High Street in Leicester city centre. The casual setting supports both quick lunches and more social evening meals, with a menu that moves from individual rice bowls and noodles to barbecue dishes intended to be enjoyed together.
Starters include Korean dumplings, kimchi pancake, seafood pancake and tofu dishes. Warming soups and hot pots are served as main courses with steamed rice, covering combinations based on fermented kimchi, soybean paste, beef ribs, seafood, tofu and marinated pork.
Bibimbap, dolsot bibimbap and rice plates provide complete meals in a bowl, while sizzling plates, barbecue mains, fried noodles, udon and ramen broaden the choice. Beef bulgogi, Korean fried chicken and topokki sit among the familiar favourites for diners exploring the menu for the first time.
A separate vegetarian and vegan selection runs through starters, rice dishes, soups, noodles and mains rather than offering only a few side dishes. Korean beer and soju accompany the food, and seasoned beansprouts, spinach, seaweed, kimchi and radish pickles can be added to create a more varied shared table.
