- Kiln — Doobydobap, 셰프 안성재 Chef Sung Anh
Called it "one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life," and praised the signature clay pot noodles — under £10 — as "one of my all-time favorite noodle dishes."
Heads up: Walk-in only, no reservations — especially recommended for solo travelers. - Plaza Khao Gaeng Tottenham Court Road — TOPJAW
Praised as uncompromisingly authentic, original, and unlike any flavor profile found elsewhere. The signature massaman beef curry is the standout dish.
Heads up: Dishes like the seven spice chicken curry are extremely spicy (the spiciest item caused real struggle on camera), and it's tucked away on a mezzanine above the Arcade food hall, so it takes some effort to find. - Yauatcha Soho — 큰손 노희영
Praised as having the best dim sum, with the har gow shrimp being plump and fresh rather than frozen, and the fried rice turning a good yellow color thanks to quality British eggs. - Indi-go Rasoi — Suitcase Monkey
Said the chili chips are great, but the samosas were the tastiest food in the entire video.
Heads up: So popular that they ate them all before filming could happen. - Sheba Brick Lane - Awarded Best Curry House In UK — Doobydobap
The tandoori prawns, marinated in yogurt and spices, were perfectly cooked and incredibly juicy, and the coconut-based chicken Xacuti was 'genuinely delicious.'
Heads up: Advises that if you like a sweeter curry, go for the Tikka Masala. - Kricket Soho — TOPJAW
Named as one of host Will's favorite Indian restaurants. - Horn OK Please — Locavore Eats
The chana chaat, made with chickpeas and masala sauce topped with onion, chutney, cilantro, pomegranate, and sev, was exactly the burst of color and flavor needed.
Heads up: A vegetarian Indian food stall. - Kanada-Ya — Locavore Eats
Praised the rich, porky tonkotsu broth and good noodles, with a soft-boiled egg well-seasoned in the marinade. Said adding truffle makes it even richer.
Heads up: The shop is small and popular, so expect a wait during peak hours; it wasn't specified which of the London branches was visited. - Punjab Restaurant — Locavore Eats
Praised the classic-but-reliable butter chicken, the sizzling tandoori chicken served on a hot iron plate, and the addictively fragrant chicken tikka masala, plus a mango lassi that was very thick.
Heads up: Recommends drizzling yogurt over the tandoori chicken. - Phoenix Palace — Doobydobap
Praised the chicken feet — fried then steamed until they melt in your mouth — and the century egg congee, whose broth goes down gently like a comforting chicken noodle soup. - Bar Antoine — TOPJAW
The mezcal, vodka, shiso leaf, and pineapple reduction cocktail is described as tasting like "an elevated whiskey apple," so good it disappeared faster than it could be sipped. - Little Four Seasons (Chinatown) — Locavore Eats
Famous for its roast meats, the trio of char siu, crispy pork, and roast duck made for the ultimate comfort food, and the black bean sauce chicken was also very tender.
