Angel Restaurant

Went there with my sister, lovely little spot in the middle of the city centre. Quite a small location, so good thing we booked in advance. The interior decoration was so pretty inside. The staff were really lovely and the food came out quickly! The menu looked so good and authentic and we both had Korean dishes which was a first to me which was really good! The pricing was really decent as well! I'd definitely reccomend this place to anyone looking for good Asian (Korean/Chinese) food at not too high a price.

This restaurant provides two good things, the ambiance, and the food. But it excels at another. Service. The owner/head chef is also one of the waiters, so she knows very well how much to order per person as to not waste any food, and will always take care of anything you need with an honest smile. In terms of the food, it was great. Not amazing, but great. You have 2 menus to order from: a Chinese food menu, and a Korean food menu. We went with the latter. As a starter, we had the mixed kimchi, which had 4 bowls of different kinds of Korean-style fermented vegetables, like cabbage, cucumber (the best one by far), and radish (the worst one by far). We also asked the owner what was her favorite starter, and she recommended the beef dumplings, which you very much should order, as they are delicious. For the main course, we had the Spicy Rice Cakes (tteok-bokki), and the Eel Bibimbap. At first, it might seem like the Rice Cake portion is small, but as most rice based dishes, it is surprisingly filling. Flavor wise, it was good, but it truly shined in it's texture. The Eel Bibimbap was truly delicious, but it had 2 faults in our opinion. The eel still had a fair amount of bones, and the bowl wasn't hot enough, so it didn't create that crust of crispy rice on the edges that you expect from a Bibimbap. The total bill (with the 50% off from the Eat Out to Help Out programme) was 19.35£ (38.70£ without the discount) for 2 people. Overall, the restaurant has a good representation of Korean food, a decent price/value, and what in my opinion is an amazing, welcoming and almost family-like service. Thank you Ming (the owner).
