Gobong

The Holloway Road is a big road—1.9 miles, to be precise. At its top end you’ll find GoBong, an excellent little Korean restaurant. It’s a functional space made homely with frilly curtains, cushions, and a sharing table in the middle. The KFC is very good: crisp and moist and, importantly, some is still on the bone. Heat levels vary, though we’d recommend going ‘Inferno’ if you want a proper kick. Homemade kimchi is an excellent bit of crunch to have on the side that’s heavy on tart and tingliness, which is just how we like it. Otherwise, the menu has bibimbap, pajeon, udon, and other bits too. It’s great for a lunch break.
