“ I came to ogam after hearing about it from my friends! I just made a reservation for myself (part 1 between 6pm-8:20pm) and was intrigued to try a Korean style bar ! The bar was nice and cozy, and I liked the interior ! All the staff were super amazing and friendly and made the experience top tier ! The drinks and the food were absolutely delicious, and the menu had so many unique and beautiful options! I would definitely recommend Ogam ! I loved it a lot ! Thanks a lot ! ”
“ Great and super authentic food, portions might look small but they’re super filling surprisingly! The staff was also super quick and friendly, would definitely recommend it to my peers. ”
“ Came here again on a Saturday at 5:30pm and had the best time and experience! I would highly recommend reading the policy around opening hours when booking to ensure that you make the most of your visit! The quality has only improved since I first came here last year and the bar is still one of my firm favourites in London. The bartenders are also very polite and even kindly explained the process of making makgeolli to us. Thank you for a wonderful service and I’m so excited to come again!!! —————————————————————————— An amazing find for Korean food and drinks. The service here was just wonderful and the staff really put their heart and soul in bringing South Korean cuisine and culture to you. The wide selection of cocktails and drinks is quite impressive. The makgeolli was delicious, particularly the Chestnut flavour which we simply had to take away to enjoy at home. The Happy Pig was a nice cocktail shared between two of us. For the tapas, we ordered the king prawn fries, kimchi pancake, Korean fried chicken in yang-nyum sauce and the cheesechicken buldak - all of which were tasty in their own way! Tip - if you think you can handle spice, the Cheese and Chicken Buldak will certainly humble you. As spice lovers, we initially wanted to order Level 6, however we reduced to Level 4 after being cautioned by our waiter (we are forever grateful). The spice creeps on you after the first bite. I absolutely loved that a spicy dish finally lived up to its name, as this can be a rarity. I will definitely order this again! I celebrated my birthday here on Friday and it was really special. It is on the pricier side but it is well worth it. Additional plus points for the cleanliness of the restaurant. Sitting at the bar is also nice as the waiters are very social. ”
“ Great place for cocktails and small bites! I have been here a fair few times now, and it has always been great! They have a fantastic selection of original cocktails and Korean takes on classic cocktails. All super tasty. It is favourite place for fresh makgeolli, which they make in-house, as well as somaek (soju and beer). They also offer a range of delicious food, from Korean fried chicken to kimchi pancakes. Always been very happy with the quality of food here when I visit. The service is friendly and lovely, with attentive and welcoming staff, making it a great destination for a few drinks in the evening. It remains one of my favourite cocktail places in the area, and I intend on keep coming back. ”
“ You can have my word for it when I tell you that this is one of the best places to visit when you're in London! Food was excellent, the cocktails were superb and the staff was super! Will revisit again soon ”
“ Came here as its featured in KoreanEnglishman YouTube channel, and it certainly did not disappoint. Not only the cocktails here taste/look/smell amazing (shoutout to Chang), the Korean dishes here are also exceptional (better than a lot of Korean restaurants in Korea or in Asia). Love the vibe and the friendly staff as well. Will definitely pay a second visit and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Korean food. ”
“ We lucked out, got there at 6pm without a reservation and was able to get a table, and so glad we did. Very friendly staff and all the food we ordered came out stagger which we like. Great good, great drinks, absolutely must try if you are in the area, just make sure to get a reservation it you want to be sure to get in! ”
“ Really nice chill atmosphere, cocktail bar with authentic korean food, small bites! Great place to come with a friend just chat and have nice drinks and food! Bartender’s really friendly as well! ”
