Seoul 90’ is a compact Korean restaurant at 90 Old Street in London. Its unpretentious dining room serves lunch and dinner through the working week, with an evening service on Saturday, and offers table reservations for diners planning a meal near Clerkenwell and Old Street.
Korean fried chicken is one of the restaurant’s best known choices, bringing crisp coating and savoury seasoning to a dish that works well at the centre of a shared table. Beef dumplings and glass noodles offer contrasting textures, and kimchi supplies the fermented heat and acidity characteristic of Korean cooking.
Warming soups and stews give the menu greater depth than fried snacks alone. Kimchi jjigae provides a robust, spicy option, while beef based broth dishes suit diners looking for a comforting main meal accompanied by rice and smaller side dishes.
Soju, soju cocktails and Korean soft drinks complement the food, while mochi ice cream offers a cool finish after a spicy meal. The small scale of the room and shareable menu make Seoul 90’ particularly well suited to a casual date, a meal with friends or a focused introduction to Korean favourites.
