Hankki London China Town is a modern Korean restaurant at 7 Wardour Street in the heart of Chinatown. Its atmospheric dining room combines the energy of a Seoul night spot with a menu suited to lunch, dinner and drinks with friends. Traditional flavours are presented with a contemporary touch, and many dishes are designed to be shared across the table.
Small plates include spinach, kimchi, seasoned sprouts, cucumber, lotus root and radish kimchi, giving diners a colourful introduction to Korean banchan. Kimchi tofu soup and a crab seafood soup provide warming alternatives served with rice. Fried chicken wings with a choice of sauces add a crisp and richly flavoured option for the centre of the table.
Korean barbecue is a major part of the experience, with beef brisket, bulgogi, Wagyu sirloin, Iberico pork and short ribs among the grilled choices. Set menus combine meats with vegetables, rice and appetisers so a group can explore a wider range in one meal. Seafood, noodles and chef specialities extend the selection beyond the barbecue.
Soju is central to the bar, appearing both on its own and in colourful cocktails alongside Korean rice wine, beer, mocktails and fruit drinks. Desserts such as yuzu cheesecake, chocolate mousse and Dalgona coffee puffs bring a playful finish. The combination of generous sharing food, music and cocktails gives Hankki a lively identity within London's Chinatown.
