Historical version 19 of Young Bean, EC2Y 5EL (view current version)
- 2-3 Bassishaw Highwalk, EC2V 5VS
Used to be a Korean restaurant just off London Wall on St Alphage Highwalk; closed due to demolition of the entirety of St Alphage House, including the highwalk.
However, it reopened in August 2008 just five minutes' walk away as Young Bean, EC2V 5VS, in a building formerly occupied by Noto.
The information below is retained for those who want to know what this place used to be like when it was on St Alphage Highwalk.
Korean restaurant just off London Wall up on one of the highwalks. Does an all you can eat buffet for £9 at lunchtimes. Also has Japanese and Chinese food. The kimchi was very good, as was the chilli pork on the Korean barbecue. Bob the wasabi fiend was disappointed to see that the sushi didn't come with extra wasabi on the side, but thought the nigiri almost had enough wasabi anyway (which might mean it has too much for normal people...).
They also do a non-buffet menu at lunch time including hot stone bowls and other Korean dishes.
In the evening they don't do the buffet, but do offer a full menu of Korean food. It's priced quite well and food quality is very good.
