Small Korean cafe/restaurant in Wealdstone, ex-Oriental City. They also do takeaway and delivery, and you can order online via Just-Eat.
It's quite small inside, with seating for just 18 people. Despite the colour photo display of dishes above the counter (perhaps a nod to its origins in the Oriental City food court), the ambience is quite nice, with stained-wood tables, box lampshades, a couple of potted plants, and a bead curtain hanging over the window.
Kake visited late on a Thursday lunchtime in March 2009. There was only one other customer. Music was playing on the radio (Magic 105.4). Service was friendly enough.
I was offered the cheaper set lunch menu (which starts at £3.80) but decided to go a la carte instead, with a soft tofu and chicken stew (dak soonduboo jjigae) for £6.50 including rice and banchan (side dishes) photo.
The stew wasn't bad, though the tofu had the characteristic flavour of the aseptically-packaged stuff rather than being fresh, and the chicken didn't taste of much either. I'd chosen the mild version of the stew; perhaps the spicy one is better. The banchan were good, though; a dish of kimchee, a dish of cold cooked beansprouts, and a couple of slices of rolled omelette/pancake. Green tea (£1) was made with a teabag but was actually pretty good.
Kake's verdict: Might come here again if I was in the area; the tofu was kind of offputting though.
Accessibility: No step to get in, everything on one level once you're in, though the single unisex toilet cubicle is very small and cramped. You could probably fit a wheelchair at the tables if the place wasn't too full. Some but not all of the chairs have arms and are fairly narrow.
