    Korean wings
    Eugene R.

    Easy stop for fast food choices (Embankment) and this place was a hit for the teens. Recommend the poutine and Korean fried wings. Quick service.

    A funky atmospheres paired with chicken and fries. Lightning bolts everywhere. Bright colors, lights glowing (even in the bathroom! Think blue) basic menu... A bucket of chicken or chicken tenders and fries, tenders/wings and fries or just wings. But some interesting flavored wings at that. I tried salted caramel. Weird at first but each bite my brain wrapped around the flavor and it tastes better each bite. My issue here... And I don't know if this is a UK vs. USA thing but the blue cheese was weird! Tasted totally synthetic. My husband and daughter had combos. The fries came salted with something like a siracha and they are show string. They were good. Overall good chicken cooked well but basic beer and overall limited drink selections.

    The pool of oil

    Fries swimming in oil. Not any better than all other fried chicken, but the oily fries turned me away. Won't be coming back.

    Good place for a quick bite. I got the chicken tenders and they were great. I recommend trying several of the offered dips also.

    There's a chicken sandwich chain restaurant in LA that I frequent called Chick-fil-a which is kind…read moreof hard to compete against..but I have to say, this place has some pretty bomb chicken. Bf got chicken sandwich and he said it was really good, soft bun that holds well, nice and crispy well seasoned chicken patty with moist meat. He's also got chicken wings here before and said they were really good. I got 6 chicken tenders not realizing how big the pieces were going to be. The chicken was well seasoned, super moist even if white meat, nice meat to batter ratio, super Big Crunch. 4 different dipping sauces you can buy for 50p (mayo or ketchup free next to utensils) Bathrooms are fairly clean. Cucumber salad reminds me of a Korean cucumber salad of a bean paste but this one was sesame and I believe peanuts. Little salty little tang and nice fresh chunks of cold cucumbers. Very crunchy. Staff is nice and patient even though I couldn't really make up my mind. Would definitely recommend or go back if I'm ever in the area again

    Being an American... I'm just gonna be honest and say this place was just not good. The workers…read morewere so so kind, and this place was so busy that my friend and I thought it would be a good idea after a long day of walking down Oxford st....but nope. We decided to go with the "spicy" chicken tender meal, which consisted of some "Cajun" spices being thrown on top of some already cooked regular tenders. It made the chicken so gritty, I was very disappointed. It was also $16 for that meal??? I understand it's a nicer area but for that quality that was beyond excessive. Definitely will not be coming back to this place next time I'm in London. Side note: I was here in February 2020 but have found myself very overdue to leave a review.

    About 2 months ago, i went to a restaurant where I encountered a very painful and distressful…read moreexperience where I felt bullied. They took my phone to "repair" but until now, countless tries of contact them and i still haven't gotten my phone back. This is what happened. I was at Cookhouse Joe, SOHO brunch, on Monday (28 July) for dinner with my friend. It all went well until a waitress dropped a knife on my mobile phone and leg. The screen on my mobile phone cracked as a result the phone is not usable anymore, but fortunately for me, my leg was alright. The waitress immediately apologised and said that she will pay for the damages. I'm using a mobile phone that do not have an office in London and therefore no service centre. But after that, the manager told us that the restaurant will be responsible, however they could not offer any form of compensation as it was too late at night (9.05pm) because they could not get in touch with the boss. We then told the manager that the waitress offered to pay and there was no need to contact the boss. When we spoke to the waitress again, she said she will only pay for repairs but as I was using a Xiaomi phone, I told her that they didn't have a service centre in London and I need a phone as I didn't want to be uncontactable. She then asked us to give her a minute. We told them that I need a phone immediately or at least the next day as I am here alone and my family contacts me everyday to make sure I'm okay. So we suggested that they got me a spare phone or a new phone. Next thing we knew the manager came to us and shouted that "I already told you to come back tomorrow, and now you are making my waitress cry" and started chasing us out of the restaurant. While chasing us out, he sure didn't forget about the bill and demanded that we pay for the dinner before we leave. We called in the police but they mentioned that as this is a civil dispute, they could not get involved. We also contacted the embassy for advice but they referred us to the police, so we are back at square one. We went back the next day to get things settled during the time stated by the manager, as he said the boss will be around during that time. When we were there, all he told us was "the boss doesn't sit around" waiting for us to come. He also started calling us names like stupid and said that we were trying to blackmail / threaten them. I have never felt more threatened by a person! Not only was my phone damaged and unusable, my friend and I were bullied and insulted. I have a recording of him calling my friends and I stupid, at least twice because my friends posted a bad review online. He said that, "We can't be going into a restaurant and just expect cash like that." He also chased me out and said that I was trespassing his restaurant and that I wasn't to step foot in the restaurant ever again. He took my mobile phone and mentioned that because we didn't pay for our bill of 30GBP, they can only try to repair my 150GBP phone and won't guarantee until we paid. The whole experience has been seriously distressing and traumatising.

    My male colleagues at work kept going on about this place that the wraps are "really really good"…read moreand also "Serena, you would love it!". Somehow I failed to believe them because they had recommended some places before and it fell short of my great expectation. Nevertheless, I did decide to try it. That week, I was craving Arabic cuisine but didn't want to go that extra mile. So, I took their advise. It is a cozy restaurant in a one way road, off Oxford street almost opposite "The Plaza". It is quite dim inside, with tables at the back and benches at the entrance. I ordered the lamb wrap and it was amazing. It was the closest I could get to authentic Lebanese food, the garlic sauce hit the spot. Memories of home kept flooding my head. Every table is treated to a bottle of something which at first, I thought was a bottle of wine! To my disappointment, it was just water... Good, keep customers hydrated! Pros: -Good for small groups -Quirky -Great food and lots of it! -Close to the high street -'Green man' pub just opposite Cons: -Slightly pricier meals on the menu but it's London. -There's not enough space in my belly to finish the food. -Can get very busy and packed. Advise: -Please do visit and try it yourself!
