If you’re craving an authentic Korean BBQ experience, then Korean Grill Kensington (KGK) should be top of your list, because it is undoubtedly the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Kensington.
KGK has launched an exciting Korean Autumn Menu, blending the warmth and richness of traditional Korean flavors with a seasonal twist. Known for its authentic Korean BBQ experience, KGK Grill allows diners to grill their own meats at the table, creating a social and immersive dining atmosphere that’s central to Korean culture. The new Autumn Menu features premium cuts of beef, pork, and marinated chicken, alongside autumnal ingredients like mushrooms and sweet potatoes, evoking the heartiness and warmth associated with the season.
Korean BBQ, or gogi-gui, isn’t just about the food—it’s a central part of Korea’s vibrant social culture, often depicted in popular K-dramas. Friends and family gather around the table to cook their meat, sharing side dishes (banchan) like kimchi, pickled radish, and dipping sauces. This communal style of dining fosters connection and conversation, making it a key element of Korean lifestyle.
In Korean dramas, BBQ scenes are common—characters bond, celebrate, or even resolve conflicts over the grill. The sizzling sound of meat on the grill, paired with shared laughter and conversation, mirrors real-life Korean dining experiences, where the food is as much about creating memories as it is about nourishment. KGK Grill’s menu captures that spirit, bringing Londoners a taste of Korea’s culinary and cultural traditions.
With its focus on seasonal ingredients and authentic BBQ techniques and known by locals as the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Kensington, KGK Grill’s Autumn Menu offers a perfect blend of hearty flavors and rich cultural heritage. It’s the ideal spot to experience the essence of Korean dining, whether you’re a fan of K-dramas or simply seeking an authentic Korean BBQ experience in London.
Known for its traditional yet elevated take on Korean cuisine, KGK has just launched its exclusive Korean Autumn Menu, and it’s all about showcasing the richness of Korean flavours with a focus on premium beef cuts. The Korean Autumn Menu isn’t just a meal; it’s a full-on gastronomic journey that features ‘sang cha lim’ – a beautifully curated selection of eight seasonal specialties. Expect everything from freshly made kimchis to delicious side salads and of course, jap chae and Korean pancakes.
What really makes KGK stand out is its in-built tabletop grills. Yep, each table comes equipped with its own grill so you can cook up premium cuts like roast oxtail and king kalbi right at your seat – though the staff are on hand to make sure everything is cooked to perfection. KGK don’t scrimp on the quality and cuts of the meats neither, and we were treated to some delicious rib-eye, sirloin and of course Kalbi (which was the standout).
And don’t worry, there’s no shortage of sides: traditional Korean accompaniments like steamed rice and leafy vegetables to wrap your meat in, alongside KGK’s signature house sauces, make the whole experience even better. Just another reason why we think this is the best Korean BBQ restaurant in Kensington.
Dessert is anything but ordinary at KGK. Soybean ice cream and a refreshing lychee’s sake milkshake are just two of the options to round off your meal. Plus, for a true Korean experience, their house-made hot soju – exclusive to KGK – is the perfect drink to keep you warm on chilly evenings.
If you’re after a lunchtime feast, KGK has you covered with set menus starting from £22, offering bulgogi, seasonal soups, and even that famous soybean ice cream to finish.
With a modern yet authentic vibe, KGK is not just another Korean restaurant – it’s a destination for foodies who want to explore the rich tapestry of Korean culinary traditions and certainly the very best Korean BBQ restaurant in Kensington, and maybe even London.
