Cho Sim is a Korean restaurant at 24 Goldhawk Road near Shepherd’s Bush. Its name refers to an original intention or beginner’s mind, a principle reflected in the team’s aim to create a warm place where friends and families can gather over carefully prepared food.

Korean soups and stews are a strong part of the menu, including spicy jjamppong with prawns, mussels and squid, mild beef short rib soup and army stew served with noodles and rice. These substantial bowls sit beside rice dishes and a wider choice of traditional and modern mains.

Seafood and kimchi pancakes, pan fried dumplings, japchae and tofu with kimchi lend themselves to sharing. Korean fried chicken comes with a choice of garlic mayonnaise, sweet chilli or sweet soy, while fermented vegetables and seasoned beansprouts bring contrast to richer dishes.

The dining room is casual and welcoming, with reservations available throughout the week. Korean beer, rice wine and fruit drinks provide suitable accompaniments, making Cho Sim useful for diners exploring the cuisine for the first time as well as guests returning for familiar favourites.
