Bo Drake - City of London,Westminster

I loved going to Bo Drake for a refreshing take on Asian fusion cuisine. Bó Drake combines everything I love about Asian food, from the sweetness of the pickled kimchi to the succulent seafood, with the rustic smoky flavor of European barbeque. Before I even talk about the food we enjoyed, I have to mention the quality of the service. From the moment my friend and I entered the restaurant, we were greeted with smiling, friendly faces.

Korean fusion and a little more, Bo Drake is a nice establishment in central Soho. Walk ins accepted, it has an eclectic mix of food. We started off with cocktails as they do have a nice selection, and sampled the variety of dishes, tapas style. I rated the japche and baos which were delicious.

Great place to experience some beautiful Korean fusion small plates. we didn't try anything from the netzen, but they sounded fantastic. we got a good rehearsal of the small plates. I am such a sucker for a good bao and I was thoroughly impressed by this. the black baby was soft and juicy and one of the highlights for me on the menu. the fried chicken came in a tight second. her soy season (I think was salty, but sweet and only devine. I have also tried their kimchi pancakes (with mozeralla cheese! and I think that was their only one that was really let down. it didn't taste enough for me. I hope to come back soon. I highly recommend to book as this place is busy quickly!
