Across from "Wicked," about a three minute walk from Victoria Station, this unassuming little place used 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. read more

Good Experience Overall 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. read more

The staff was very friendly, fast, and majority of food I ordered was alright (I loved the kimchi though!), but I was disappointed by the dry rice, lack of food options, no complimentary bonchon, and no vent (we ordered Korean BBQ). It was interesting that Korean bbq was offered when there wasn't the vent to suck up the smoke that blew in my face. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have ordered it knowing that. Also, I didn't expect the server to be standing there cooking our food for us at our table haha. Had to tell them that we could do it ourselves (how I expect Korean BBQ to be). But all of this is to say, I'm a visitor from California where the serving and prepping of Korean BBQ may be different. However, this was enough to satisfy a Korean food craving! read more

Just like a few other restaurants, I've noticed that portions are fairly smaller in the UK than the US. We ordered soy garlic wings, seafood pancake, tebbuki to share, and for my main entree I ordered the bulgolgi hotpot. I was so surprised when the seafood pancake came and they were like mini pieces. They were tasty, crunchy and soft on the inside though. The wings were super crispy and had flavor. Tebbuki was good it again a little on the spicy side. My bulgogi hotpot was a new thing I've never had before, it's like if you took beef japchae and added soup to it. The beef had the korean bulgogi flavor and the soup did too. Spinach was a nice addition. There was also limited seating so for the party of 5 of us we had to wait ~45 mins. Not sure if I would come back since I thought it was just ok. read more

Call me a purist. By a purist meaning eating at Korean places at other cities as a tourist. When I saw that Korean BBQ was available at Lime Orange, I just had to give it a go. How would it compare with other Korean BBQ venues where I've laid my bulgolgi conquests? Here we go: Upon entering, I was met my a very "cafe" type of environment. I reminded myself that this was Westminster London, not Westminster California, so I tempered my authenticity radar. First off we were greeted very politely and seated promptly. Not going to cover the menu, you can check it out yourself. But I sat down for the Grill experience. Here's what was great: - friendly and prompt server - the portions were good - prices were cheap. Probably half the price of other places. What wasn't great: - the grill options were limited - no bonchon (that's standard bruh) - no fan for the grill so it got a bit smokey All in all I still enjoyed the meal tho. Thanks! read more

The food was good, but not mind blowing! None of their dishes come with banchan. Unfortunately, they have to be added separately. Their beef bulgogi bibimbap was great! I highly recommend leaving a thin layer of rice in contact with the bowl while mixing for a crispy edge. When we arrived, it was pretty empty, but it filled up fast. Even when the restaurant was empty, the service was slow, but friendly. I think they were understaffed because it looked like only one person was waiting tables. read more

Lime Orange - Inside. Seating mostly along one side. - Korean Near Me - London, XGL

The chicken was lovely. I could have had more flavor but it was better than I had thought. The restaurant has hole-in-the-wall vibe and it works for me. The staff is adorable. The service came out really quickly. I didn't like the portions but it was typical for London , I guess. Definitely needed a bit more salt though and I am not a salt person. read more

Fast and friendly service. Basic interior. My wife enjoyed her tofu soup. My tofu bibimbap was average however. Not much distinctive flavor and some of the green vegetables were tough. read more

Mid at absolute best. Vibe is okay, just a typical city interior with a couple of "traditional" art pieces hanging up on the wall. Service is quite good, best thing in the restaurant. When I went, there were only 2 servers, but they did their job very well. I had the chicken katsu starter, and it was decent. Chicken/Pork katsu is one of my favorite dishes to get when I'm not in the UK, but this was just okay. Some of the pieces were a little raw and it was not very tender. I also got the soft tofu soup that was probably the best thing we ordered. Would recommend if you were looking for something to order. My friend got the tofu bibimbap, and he said that he has had better. The veggies were chewy and the rice was undercooked. TL;DR, If you're a tourist and looking for something other than fish n' chips and beans for breakfast, this is an okay option. If you're a local, don't bother. read more

Lime Orange is a trendy and delicious Korean restaurant in Pimlico serving up authentic bibimbap, bulgogi, soups, and more Korean fare. It's a nicer dine-in restaurant but with a packed and somewhat loud ambiance. You may need a reservation if you're coming on a popular night. Food-wise, I got the pork bulgogi bibimbap, which was fantastic. The portion was large and satisfying, the veggies were delectable, and the the stone bowl came out piping hot (I had to wait many minutes for it to cool down!), leaving behind delightful crispy and charred rice at the bottom. Unfortunately, none of the mains come with banchan, so you'll need to order sides separately, which isn't very economical for a group of only one or two, but it works fine for a larger table. The bibimbap did come with miso soup, though, as well as chili sauce on the side. Overall a great meal. Pay a visit if you're looking for tasty Korean food in the mid-range price tier. read more

So. Good. I was feeling homesick for Korean and our suite happened to be near this restaurant - good luck for us! We were able to get our party of 5 seated quite fast even though it was a busy evening meal rush. Unlike the Korean restaurants at home, the appetizers weren't free, which felt weird. But, basically everything was delicioussss. That makes up for the paid apps. :) I had seafood bibimbap. Very good. Perfect flavors. Would definitely come here again. read more

Do your best to make a booking. They aren't open all night and they fill up quickly. I chose this mostly for convenience, as I had friends coming in from Gatwick, but it also turned out to be authentic and delicious, and decently priced. Service is attentive and very speedy. read more

This is a small and very busy family-run Korean restaurant in Victoria. It has a very narrow street frontage; inside there is a long row of tables on one side with a few extra tables at the entrance. It's sparsely furnished and rather crowded, not that that puts off the queues of punters at lunchtime and evenings. The mains include rice and noodle dishes: their specialty is bibimbap, large hot stone bowls filled with rice, 7 veg and either meat or tofu. These are a complete meal in one. Other mains include hot pots, barbecues and soup dishes. Mains come in at just under £10 to £12, starters £4.80-£8.90, but there are set menus at around £19-23 which include a starter, main course, a drink and tea. There's a decent choice for vegetarians, and I suggest their Mandu vegetable dumplings as a starter and tofu bibimbap as a main. Vegans can also be catered for. A feature of the menu, as you'd expect, is kimchi, the spicy fermented cabbage dish that defines Korean food. Service is rapid and friendly though can get a little chaotic at busy times. It's extremely popular with Koreans (a good sign) as well as local office workers and tourists. They do a takeaway service as well, and it is possible to make bookings. read more

Very delicious thai restaurant! Just few minutes walk from Victoria station, this thai restau exceeded my expectation! We ordered seafood bibimbap, soba tonkatsu and and beef bulgogi. All of them are good, actually best thai restau I ate even in New York. The seafood bibimbap is very tasty and the rice is so sticky and good. Soba tonkatsu is crunchy and noodles are thick and soft. Beef bulgogi is just the right amount of spiciness and perfect for rice. I take out here but the interior of the restau is small and has few seatings. The staff is amazing, quickly ask what is our order. Highly recommended if you are in Victoria station. read more

My daughter and I were looking for a korean restaurant and luckily this place was located near by our hotel, less than 10 minute walking distance. We ordered spicy pork belly, ssangchu ssam, spicy calamari, spinach namul and kimchee. Pork belly had good flavor though it was not spicy. Spicy calamari was okay. What I liked the best was the spinach namul. I have never seen any korean restaurant in the us that serves such fresh tasting spinach namul. Service was great. This was more like Asian fast food joint but overall the food was decent. read more

We've been on the hunt for the best Korean restaurant in London. A friend had recommended Lime Orange and we had to check it out. Food: We ordered the tofu kimchee and kampoonggi for starters. They were both delicious. They deep fry the tofu in the tofu kimchee which was a nice change to the original tofu kimchee dishes. The kampoonggi which is breaded, deep fried chicken with spicy chilli sauce was very yummy! It had a nice kick to it. We ordered the pork and beef bulgogi BBQ for our entrees. They were both simple and good. We also ordered two sides of rice and a side of kimchee. Drinks: We ordered one diet coke. Price: 40.90 GBP for two people. Ambiance: No ambiance. Just a simple room of tables. Service: The son of the owner was front of the house the night we were there. He was very friendly and helpful. Would I go back? Yes! For simple Korean food, reasonable prices and friendly service, it's one of my faves in London so far. read more

Great food at a very reasonable price with friendly service. Went there at the prime Friday-night dining time but the waiters managed to get us a table and get the order out in record time. The dumplings were tasty, the spicy squid is a must have and then the main: Beef Bibimbap. Beautifully presented, full of flavour and utterly filling. The excellent bowl of miso works very well too! Definitely wash things down with a crisp, refreshing Hite beer. Top work, Lime Orange... My favourite Korean this side of Seoul. Dinner for two (inc, starters, mains, drinks, and service £40) read more

Saturday night in London Town, Feeling chatty, but not in the mood to wild out, Upon invitation joined a friend for din, Surprised me with a wonderful choice, Korean. Korean?! Yes, I say. And to Lime Orange near Victoria we did foray. Nondescript entrance so initially we walked past. But don't let that fool you, cause expectations were surpassed. Dear Yelper, my experience with K-cuisine is slim. All I knew was Kimchee, please forgive if that sounds dim. My ex-boyfriend kept jars of it in his fridge. This intriguing fermented cocktail? Never tried it, not even a smidge. But back to the review at hand, didn't know what to expect. But the food at LO was so good, checked like I got beat in chess! Ambiance minimalist, cool, clean and calm. Wooden decor, with soft lighting and various mirrors on the wall. Dinner companion noticed that one was cracked. We joked that he caused it, and had a laugh. (Absolutely no chance of that). But what is the story, wonder about that? And as for the service? A special, following paragraph. We were given the window seat. Which we thought could be cold, but it was spacious and pretty sweet. And my, the food, the food! So delicious, compliments to the owner and chef, what a dude. Dinner Companion selected the spicy chicken bulgogi. Which was my fav, I suffered from a slight case of food envy. The above, to be eaten with steamed rice in a lettuce wrap. Perfect accompaniment to my hot stone pot chicken bibimbap. The wife of the owner was so welcoming and kind. She was lovely, and had a twinkle in her eye. Very service-orientated, seated us, Why yes, she most kindly treated us. But that's just the beginning, she didn't leave us to our own devices. After our food was served, she guided us, plated it and mixed the rice and spices! Much to my shame, I did not try the Kimchee. Don't know how that could have escaped me?! Perhaps I was just too busy enjoying the polite company. And wolfing down my starter served with chili sauce, breaded calamari. Dear Yelper, I urge you next time. When you're in the vicinity of Victoria, try Lime. Great dishes, menu diversity. You won't regret it take it from me. Plus they also offer take away, if it is rainy and you feel lazy. Sleek metal chopsticks also a nice touch. Though I'm accustomed to the wooden ones, and as such, Wasn't able to impress my fellow guest with my ChopSkills. They were too slippery, so I had to use a spoon (Oh if looks could kill). So, Fair Yelper if you've got an itch. Tired of Pret and Itsu won't cut it? Orange is behind the Apollo Victoria, where they're showing Wicked. But if you're driving, don't park in the bus lane cause you might get a ticket. read more

So far the best Korean food I have had in London. Lime Orange is quite non descript from the outside (and inside) and their cheap lunch prices would seem off putting...but dinner was great! We had the mixed BBQ grill and were definitely not disappointed. Prices were quite reasonable (though damn you London for thinking that customers should pay for Kimchi. BLASPHEMY!!!!!) Blew away all the places in Golder's Green and Swiss Cottage. Check it ahhttt. Wish it was closer so I could go for lunch! read more

Most delicious Korean food I've had. Service was excellent. Bulgogi, hot pot and bibimbap all outstanding. We stuffed ourselves because we couldn't bear to leave any morsels behind! Steps from Victoria Palace theater and Victoria station, so very convenient for a pre theater meal. read more

Simply bland food. As a Korean, I was excited at the thought of having access to Korean food close to where I live. Having said that, I was really disappointed with the flavours! To begin with, the pajun dish just didn't taste authentic enough. It almost tasted as though they've added cinnamon to their pajun mixture which was rather odd. The seafood soft tofu soup was absolutely bland- soup base simply didn't have the 'dam-baek-han' flavour which perhaps could be due to the quality of the ingredients they are using. Unfortunately, I will not be going back! read more

The food is amazing, you have to check this place out. First time we had Korean, and the waiter explained the many dishes, all of them natural ingredients etc. and what he said was true by the taste of the food. I had the Spicy chicken egg noodles, and it was the best noodles I've had in such a long time, and I'm a true fan of noodles. All in all, nice fresh and great tasting food read more

Excellent food! I had been meaning to go for ages and finally managed to find some time to pop around the corner from my office. The service can be a bit slow as they are nearly always busy, but the food arrives quickly and there's very little to complain about. We had the kimchi pancakes to start with - although I have had them before they've never been the star of the meal the way these easily could've been. Crisp tasty pancakes that made me forget that they were vegetarian! For mains we shared the Pork Bibimbap and the Spicy chicken bulgogi (with rice and lettuce). Pro tip: Ask for chili sauce! The Pork Bibimbap was good but perhaps not as flavourful as that I've had at other restaurants (e.g. Kintan in Holborn which is much pricier). The Chicken however really knocked it out of the park. This is a dish that I will definitely be coming back to order! The chicken is spicy, flavourful and tender, and goes very well with the lettuce and rice. All in all, well worth a visit. read more

I got takeaways, and it was overall average. First, a few updates: they accept cash only, and they deliver only through Deliveroo. Had to go through a few hoops because of these factors. When we brought our food back, things were good and in healthy portions, but I felt nothing was a stand-out. To be fair, food generally tastes better when you have it at the restaurant, but even accounting for such, I felt like I've had better Korean food in London. When we walked in to pick up our food, it seemed like it's an overall casual ambience inside -- probably good for a quick Korean fix, but nothing fancy. If you're around Victoria, by all means give it a try, but don't get your hopes up too much. read more

Food was very good. Staff were very helpful. Cosy atmosphere. Chicken catsu was lovely also beef bulgogi was nice. Pork and chicken bulgogi (without lettuce) was superb. Hite beers were good. Chicken wings with sesame seeds was really good. Will defiantly be coming back. read more

The food is great but the service is terrible, horrendous. I was a regular dining 3 times a week but I can say definitively I wont be back again.

Such a shame because food is quite decent. read more

I can't claim to be a connoisseur of south Korean food, as this is the only time I have ever had it, but I am a huge fan of their Bibim bap! Excellent value for money too, around £7.50 a main and they do a lunch time special as well. The location is great, on the Victoria end of Vauxhall Bridge road, and they always seem to have tables available. The cucumber kimchee also comes highly recommended! read more

Much to my surprise, this place has really good Korean food. I work nearby and this is my go to for reliable good food. I'd say I probably go there once every other week if not more frequent. They offer a large variety of Korean food, tofu seafood soup, bibimbap, short ribs, etc. Everything I tried so fas has been really delicious. What I love most about this place is that they offer daily lunch special for only 3.99, which is very cheap by London standard. It is one of my favourite lunch places in the area. read more

There's not a lot of Asian restaurants or eateries around the Victoria pimlico area so I went to this place based on its location. The staff were nice and inviting but the beef bibimbap I ordered was not as great as other ones I've had in London. Even though it was extremely hot and came sizzling the rice was soggy not crispy and the texture wasn't great. It was a decent bibimbap but for those who want a great authentic one I'm afraid this one falls short and will probably disappoint. read more

We were visiting London and wanted to get some Korean food so I looked on Yelp to find a Korean restaurant close to our hotel, which was the Conrad London St. James. Luckily we found this place which was only about a 15 minute walk away. It was easy to find a directly across the street from the Wicked show. We had a beef stone pot Bibimbap and the Budae Jigae which is a soup dish with some meat and noodles. Everything was very good, but a bit different from the Korean restaurants we go to in the States or Korea. The most noticeable difference is that there were no side dishes or condiments like Kim Chee and other vegetables that came with the meal. Washed everything done with a couple of Hite beers and left happy and full. read more
