Koba is a Korean restaurant at 11 Rathbone Street in Fitzrovia. Its warm, polished dining room gives Korean cooking a setting suited to business lunches, dates and group dinners, with separate lunch and evening services through most of the week.
Korean table barbecue is the restaurant’s defining experience, bringing marinated meat and other ingredients to grills built into the tables. Cooking and sharing at the table adds a sociable pace to dinner, while staff can guide guests who are less familiar with the format.
The wider menu includes pan fried dumplings, seafood or kimchi pancakes, japchae glass noodles and Korean fried chicken with sweet chilli sauce. Rice and noodle dishes provide complete individual meals, while soups, vegetables and smaller plates make it easy to build a broader shared selection.
Bibimbap, grilled meat and punchy fermented or chilli based accompaniments give the meal contrasting textures and flavours. Vegetarian and gluten free choices are available, and the focused drinks list allows diners to match Korean beer, spirits or familiar wine and soft drinks with the barbecue.
Address: 11 Rathbone Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 1NA, England
