At Yori Covent Garden, diners can expect an interaction with Korean cuisine enlivened by a center stage performance of attentive service. The menu features a curated selection of Korean favorites such as kimchi jeon, rose tteokbokki, and the frequently praised Yori Fried Chicken Platter. While many patrons applaud the vibrant flavors, some dishes may seem to tailor to Western palates, possibly steering away from traditional Korean robustness. Impressively, the service is often pinpointed as a highlight, with servers like Prabhakar and Sumanth earning commendations for their impeccable attentiveness. The atmosphere rides on the charm of its historical building setting, comprising multiple seating zones creating a relaxed yet bustling dining experience. The restaurant forgoes traditional table-side BBQs, as some dishes are pan-fried, a decision that may initially surprise guests but does not detract from the restaurant's overall culinary appeal.
