    Korean fried chicken with sweet chilli sauce
    Yee Gan O.

    If you've looked at my profile, you'll know that I'm a big fan of fried chicken. I fell in love with the other KFC (Korean fried chicken) on a holiday in Seoul and that love was enhanced by visits to Bonchon in the USA I was alerted to CheeMc by one of London's food bloggers. He described some yummy KoFC, so I made an expedition to south east London CheeMc is located on Walworth Rd, a cosmopolitan neighbourhood located a short walk south of Elephant & Castle Tube station. I passed Chinese, Indian, Caribbean, Latin American, African and Vietnamese restaurants on the way down to CheeMc I'm glad that the blogger gave me a heads up because I'd never have gone in here. Even with a heads up, I managed to walk past the place on the first pass. When I arrived at 8.15, the place was already rammed. It had the healthy buzz of a good Asian restaurant - lots of noise and hilarity, surrounded by lots of good food and family. The clientele was almost exclusively made up of Korean students, a good sign Despite the chaotic bonhomie, the smiley waitresses remained steadfastly cheerful, responding to all requests promptly. As there was no space when I arrived, I asked for some chicken to take away. The waitress warned me that the food would take 30 minutes and as it turned out, a space did open up in that time. I sat down and added an order of noodles. I wanted to try the jajan noodles with black bean sauce but the waitress said there was a problem with the noodles, so chef had taken it off the menu. I like that - internal quality control. I therefore went for japchae (glass noodles) with pork, which had a satisfying depth of umami There's a big choice of fried chicken with various sauces. The waitress said that the most popular was with sweet chilli sauce. The only shame was that the chicken only comes in whole or half chicken sizes. As a single diner, I would have liked to have tried more than one flavour. Not if the other KFC uses midget chickens but here, the KoFC half chicken was chopped into around 10 easy to handle pieces, which would have added up to a big chick When it arrived, it rekindled great memories of my trips to Seoul and the USA. Light crispy batter with tender chicken inside, enhanced by the sauce. The best KoFC I've had in London yet I will be back. Just don't all create a crush so that I can't get a table!

    Amazing food. The portions are absolutely huge and everything we ate was amazing. I'm a vegetarian and there were a lot of options for me.

    My friend and I came here and shared a half and half fried chicken (sweet soy and honey butter) and a galbi tang.

    Across from "Wicked," about a three minute walk from Victoria Station, this unassuming little place…read moreused to serve up some top Korean food, leaning into the traditional and away from the fast food mania. It was sold recently and the downhill has begun. One packed for lunch, mostly by Koreans, it was sparsely populated on a nice summer day. I tried the Kimchi Jiggae, a comfort food of Korea esp for a quick satisfying lunch. Fermented kimchi gives it a wonderful umami sour and a touch of heat. The dish itself was piping hot, perfect amount of spice. Some of the meat was precooked and cold inside, though. Rice was too dry, especially for lunch opening. What's Jiggae like? It's Korean Korhelyleve (Hungarian "Hangover" soup. Szegediner Gulasch, Kapuska, or Bigos. Ambiance is clean but run down, since I was here last about four years ago. Repaint! Really fix your bench seats with something cleanable and easy to get in and out of. Service, compared to then? Night and day worse. No warmth. The server is pleasant but she's just doing her job, between passes on the cell phone. Good for the train station. Bad for here. Sad. I won't be back.

    Good Experience Overall…read more Lime Orange offers a refreshing and vibrant range of products that definitely stand out. I particularly like how they blend natural flavors with a modern twist -- it's clear that a lot of thought goes into their product design and presentation. While I haven't had the chance to visit their physical store or try every item, the brand's reputation and customer feedback speak volumes. From what I've seen, most people enjoy the quality and consistency, and I personally appreciate the emphasis on health-conscious ingredients. I would love to see even more variety or bundle options in the future, but overall, Lime Orange is doing a great job. If you're looking for something fresh, stylish, and a bit different, they're worth checking out.
