The place is lovely and I like the cosy atmosphere. There is a great selection of food, and it's also very delicious. I went there during lunchtime on the weekend, and it wasn't super busy. We didn't have any waiting at all. Overall, the food arrived pretty quickly and again it was everything delicious. The only downside was that during the payment, the waiter included 10% tips on the contactless device without even showing or asking, and the service charge was already included. It was a bit cheeky, so def make sure to check for the receipt before paying.

The food here is so good!! Miso soup tasted rich and clean, and the tofu was well flavored and soft. Sweet and chili chicken was super tasty, and the Tteok-bokki with ramen is excellent (I added cheese and the cheese is super stretchy and good). The servers were very polite and quick. There was only 2 of them, and the restaurant was completely full (with a line up forming outside). Great place to eat! Loved the Strawberry Kiss drink as well. Reasonably priced for the tastful food. Always busy, so either get there for opening (opened when I and my partner got there, and it was full about 7 minutes after opening) or book ahead of time. Order online with your phone -scan the QR- and pay after the meal (you can add to the order at any point, and if multiple people are ordering at the table, make sure to finish ordering before placing the order). Overall, wonderful!! Thank you for the delicious food. Cheers 🍻

YORI Covent Garden is an authentic Korean restaurant that offers delicious food. The restaurant has a small space and relatively high prices, but the service is fast and friendly. You can order food by scanning a QR code. It is highly recommended to make a reservation before visiting the restaurant.

A delightful Korean food restaurant experience! A compact setting, rapid service, and delicious menu options. Highly rated the Tteokbokki and Fried Chicken Platters. You order through a QR code on your table, which makes the process work in your time. The staff member who served us was awesome. With the toilets downstairs in the basement, it was a little inconvenient having to climb up and down 2 sets of stairs everything I needed to go. A reasonable 10% service charge is automatically added to the bill when you order. The pricing of the food is fairly reasonable, too. Definitely will be trying out the restaurant chain to test out another dish on the menu in due course.

We were lucky to be able to find a table here around 5.30pm for 2 people. We enjoyed the dishes, my husband especially since he loves spicy food. I csn only handle kimchi, so i went for sweeter bulgogi and pork belly. The garlic mayo chicken was a bit to heavy for me. But the sweet chili was better. Dont expect anything fancy. just good food ^^

YORI is one of my go to restaurants, as you know what your going to get. Tried their lunchtime deal which is always good valve for money, if your on a budget. Fantastic food and service, as always.

This place is just a few steps beside Eat Tokyo, a good option if you’re craving Korean cuisine. Each meal comes with free panchan although we shared one set between two people and not sure if it’s refillable. The soybean stew was delicious, savoury, and with a satisfying enough amount of beef and tofu. My partner had the spicy seafood stew (sundubu jjiggae) and it was the right amount of kick in terms of spice, fragrant, and very enjoyable. Small things that could be improved is that the kimchi pancake was a bit too fluffy (?) almost to an airy cake texture, which is a bit strange as we’re used to the thinner crispy kind of Korean pancake. But overall was an excellent meal and would definitely come again at the reasonable prices - around 15 pounds for a set

That place is a really good choice for introvert people. You make an order by scanning QR code. Food is really tasty and well seasoned.

One of the best Korean cuisine restaurants I've had across London! Tried the stews, pancakes and fried chicken - came back twice while we were in London. Dishes were really well executed and its always crowded. Our server, Ella was really lovely - pleasant, nice, always smiling and very helpful. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Would recommend to my family and friends.

We had a lovely lunch at this Yori Restaurant in Covent Garden, we had a reservation people was able to walk in without a reservation, despite of being Saturday. Abus was our waiter for the gathering, he was very attentive and good credit to the company 👍🏽 oh! And food was delicious 🤤

Snug and cozy Korean place in Covent garden. The food was great but no barbeque 😢. Right on the road and everytime they opened the door, every one shivered with cold. We had made a booking with the link posted but reached to find no record of it. Lucky that it was relatively empty and we got tables immediately. Max four people per table and seats about 15 on GF. You will rub shoulders with your neighbour

I really struggled to find a Korean BBQ while in London. Not because there weren't enough, because there was so many options and all the reviews were very mixed. I wanted to find a good place as this was going to be my first Korean BBQ Experience. I decided I would attempt Yori however when booking I was told they do not take reservations over the phone, only through there website. Which was fine but as a last minute booking, I was abit nervous whether or not I'd get a reply back so quickly. After quick confirmation. I was abit surpised as the building was surrounded by so many beautiful buldings in the area. It did look out of place and as if it needed some maintenance and upkeep, which did also carry on inside with a some what grimy appearance. As I walked in through the front door I was greeted by two lovely Korean women who tried to seat me downstairs where it was quite busy. I asked them if I could be sat upstairs instead, and they had room for me where it was less busy. As I sat down I noticed food and drink is ordered using a QR code, which did remind me abit like a Weatherspoons during the pandemic. Which took away from the experience for me as I had plenty of questions about the food and drink, which were left unanswered. I was told by my friend who recommended Korean BBQ that they usually have table BBQ's. I was alittle surprised to see this restaurant has no BBQ's where you could cook your own meat. I suppose it was good for me though, as a Korean BBQ Noob I did get to experience the food the way it was intended and not ruined by me ... As this was my first experience with Korean food, I can certainly say it won't be my last. Thank you for such a good first experience, some of the best food I have ever had!

We ordered five dishes and they were all delicious, especially fried chicken and beef rice. Anna and Yang are very nice and cute. They are patient as well.
