Lime Orange

I’ve never been to Korea but lived in Asia for a while and had some excellent authentic Korean food, which seemed to be a struggle in London until I found Lime Orange. Always bustling with a lively atmosphere and friendly service with a smile. The food is great, the seafood pancake is one of my favourites but the wings and glass noodles are also great. It’s the second time visiting this place and definitely not the last!

My partner and myself came here for dinner this evening before a show. We were seated promptly and our order was taken nice and quick. The food came out in a timely manner and to say it was outstanding would be an understatement! Everything was perfectly cooked, and tasted delicious. Staff were really friendly and kept on top of filling our water jug despite the restaurant being very busy. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

UPDATE: I am revising my review based on a positive resolution. The restaurant promptly addressed our concerns after my initial review. They acknowledged the oversight with the missing meal and the service fee, and I was refunded for both. This demonstrates their commitment to rectifying the situation and ensuring customer satisfaction. To encourage me to give them another chance, the restaurant generously offered a voucher for a future visit. Their responsiveness and excellent customer service deserve commendation, reflecting their dedication to providing a better dining experience. Service: They charge you 10% service even when the service left much to be desired. One dish was delayed, with the staff assuring us it would be ready in a few minutes. However, we ended up waiting for an additional 20 minutes, only to find that they had forgotten the missing dish. As a consequence, all the other dishes had turned cold by the time we inquired about it. The staff's lack of attentiveness was evident, as they did not check on us even once after serving the food. A simple check-in could have prevented the mishap with the missing dish. It seemed they were disinterested in ensuring customer satisfaction and didn't welcome feedback to improve their service. Despite the mistake, they still charged us the full price, disregarding the fact that our dining experience was negatively impacted. Atmosphere: There were some issues that affected the overall impression. The dining area felt quite dark, and the tables were sticky, giving off a sense of uncleanliness. The barbecue device built into the table had noticeable food residue and black dirt, which was off-putting. Even the menus were sticky, adding to the sense of untidiness. Food: Unfortunately, the dining experience at this restaurant fell short of an authentic Korean experience. The bibimbap lacked flavor, with old-tasting rice and poorly spiced ingredients, resulting in a rather mediocre dish. Finally, they serve Japanese miso soup, which is quite unusual for a Korean restaurant. The overall taste of the food failed to capture the essence of Korean cuisine. Additionally, the stews were disappointing, lacking in vegetables and size.

Came before our theatre show, based on reviews, and very glad we did! We shared an order of the chicken bibimbap and the kimchi fried rice, and it was amazing. Tip - if you’re coming before a show, come at 5 or 5:30. It is a smaller restaurant and many people were unhappily turned away while we were there.

I randomly found this restaurant near Victoria station when I was hungry for Asian food! Although the picture I took was not very nice, the beef pot is superb. It’s perfect to go with rice ☺️☺️ no wonder there’re a lot of reservations during my visit. It’s better to make booking in advance for dinner.

Lime Orange Korean restaurant offers a unique blend of Korean and Japanese cuisine. The restaurant serves meat, only the chicken is halal and has vegan options available. Ordered the following: Pa Jeon - which is a savoury Korean pancake with seafood and spring onions. Spicy Chicken Bulgogi - which is bbq chicken marinated with spicy bulgogi sauce, topped with sesame seeds, served with lettuce and rice. Chicken Bibimbap - which is a steamed rice dish with vegetables, an egg and chicken. It was served in a traditional Korean hot stone pot, keeping it warm for a prolonged period of time. All the dishes at Lime Orange were absolutely delicious, the flavours were authentic and well-balanced. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was reasonably priced. I would recommend booking a reservation as it can get quite busy. Despite its unassuming exterior, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out.
