Green Choy - Tooting

Generous Portions, Great Value, Warm Service

Nestled within the bustling confines of Tooting Market, Green Choy is an unpretentious gem with the vibrant pulse of Korean street food that thrives just above the fray. Stepping into the lively environment adorned with tantalizing scents wafting from the open kitchen, one can't help but notice the inviting atmosphere accentuated by warm service, especially from the ever-charming Karina, who elevates the dining experience with her attentive presence. The restaurant’s charm lies not only in its enveloping coziness but also in the visually arresting dishes that parade their way through the dining area—promising a feast for both eyes and palate.

Green Choy's star attraction lies in its seamlessly executed culinary offerings which are as pleasing to purse-strings as they are indulgent to taste buds. For instance, its famed beef brisket dolsot bibimbap proves a staple delight—generous in portion yet delicate in execution, though it occasionally falls into consistency pitfalls. The innovative use of QR codes for placing orders underscores a nod to modern culinary practices, albeit sometimes cumbersome for diversely dialed groups. Adding gratifying layers to the experience are an array of mocktails, complementing the spiced symphony played out by dishes like the striking, hit-or-miss Korean Corn Dogs. Green Choy stands resilient with an aforementioned finesse, providing not merely a meal, but a resonating reminder of how savory simplicity, seasoned charm, and informed bites compose the art of a valued revisit. — Jasper Griddle
