Korean Dinner Party
If you’re hunting for one of the liveliest Korean dining spots in London, you’ll want to check out Korean Dinner Party-tucked away on the top floor of Kingly Court in the heart of Carnaby. This isn’t your traditional Korean BBQ joint; it’s a bold fusion of Seoul street food and L.A. vibes, with a cocktail list that could rival any West End bar. Think neon lights, loud flavors, and serious fun.
As soon as you step inside Korean Dinner Party, the energy is infectious. Whether you're coming with your mates for a bottomless taco session or on a spontaneous date night, this spot knows how to set the tone. The decor is urban-cool, with just the right amount of grit to feel authentic but not over-the-top. Music pumps through the speakers, the kitchen is buzzing, and there’s a good chance your server will be your new best mate by the end of the night.
Their food menu is where things get seriously exciting. It’s an unapologetic mashup of Korean flavors with West Coast street eats, and it just works. The Korean Fried Chicken-crispy, sticky, and spicy-is basically a must. If you’re the type who loves something playful, try the KDP Corn Dog. It’s crunchy, cheesy, and Insta-worthy with its golden crust and drizzles of sauce.
Another standout is the Kimchi Stone Pot, which arrives sizzling at your table. It’s comfort food at its finest, layered with umami and that fermented tang that only real kimchi brings. The Beef Short Rib Tacos and Al Pastor Tacos offer a nod to LA’s taco scene but with a Korean twist that brings gochujang into the mix. And if you’re all about variety, the Unlimited Tacos deal is your new happy place.
Now, no Korean-inspired meal is complete without a good drink, and Korean Dinner Party takes that seriously. Sure, you’ll find Prosecco and Beer of the Week, but what really sets them apart is the creativity behind the cocktails. The Hello Kitty Cocktail is as cute as it is punchy (don’t be fooled by the name), and the White Ginseng Negroni adds an unexpected herbal depth to a classic recipe.
Looking for something refreshing? The Strawberry Soju Spritz balances fruity sweetness with a sharp finish. And for anyone needing something tropical, the Coconut Shrimp pairs brilliantly with almost anything on the cocktail menu.
There’s a reason Korean Dinner Party has built a cult following-it understands what people want from a night out: bold food, playful drinks, and zero pretension. It’s not trying to deliver a textbook Korean meal. Instead, it’s rewriting the rules and doing it with flair. This isn’t just a dinner spot; it’s a full experience.
Whether you’re craving something spicy, planning a night with bottomless tacos, or just looking to sip on a perfectly crafted Negroni with a twist, Korean Dinner Party offers something refreshingly different on London’s dining map.
Oh, and the Kimchi Pancake? Order two. Trust me.

It is an easy option for a low-key dinner. We had the Kimchi fried rice, beef tartar and el pastor diy taco, plus two drinks. This came to £68, which given we both left full for central London was alright. The food was tasty and decadent. The kimchi fried rice was particularly good. Although the tacos were a little underwhelming. It's a good spot to know for a casual, fun dinner.
The price didn’t match the item they served, mainly Korean snacks they served (mainly rice cakes, pancakes … carbs based)… its nice to try once but that’s it :/ the chicken thighs taco was quite dry as well and the sauce wasn’t match well with the meat. The dessert was nice to have at the end of the meal, but overall so so for 50pound per person (with service fee and a cocktail for each)
Stopped by for dinner before going to the theatre, it's on the third floor of kingly court but there are lifts, we got there at 5pm on a Saturday and got sat straight away but it did get a little busy from 6pm onwards. There was a great choice on the menu, everything was so tasty. The fried chicken was so crispy and delicious. I also really loved the cheesey peppers, it wasn't too spicy and still had loads of flavour, and the wedge salad was (surprisingly) my favourite dish!! Id recommend getting 4-5 dishes between 2, we also got 2 corn dogs and I think that was too much. Reasonable prices for the portion and quality. The staff were also really friendly and helpful, they made a mistake with one of our dishes but we're very quick to rectify it, id definitely recommend a visit here!
The food is not traditional korean food but mixed with mexican influence ? But they were good in general. The fried chicken was slightly dry. The fajitas, especially the short ribs were very tender. The slaw was very spicy in one but not so in the other, not sure why though. Overall, good evening with good good!! The ice cream was nice but it wasnt matcha ice cream but matcha flakes ice cream only..
Very nice lunch offering for £15: you get a corn dog to start which is followed by a huge platter which contains some tacos, a lot of wings, some slaw and 3 different dipping sauces. The idea is to make your own tacos which is really nice. They also give you a very generous portion which was highly appreciated. All this for £15 in Kingly Court, very nice! Also they do a vegan version which is great. Now the negative: the service. Honestly very average, barely got a hello and a goodbye. The main waiter who seemed to be the manager was borderline rude I thought. They didn’t check back on us at any point and honestly deserved no service charge.
