Arang, Korean restaurant in Golden Square, City of Westminster, England
Arang is a Korean restaurant in Soho offering table-top grilling as its main dining format. Each table has a built-in metal grill with ventilation, and the menu centers on marinated meats, seafood, and vegetables that arrive raw for guests to cook.
The establishment opened in the early 2000s as one of the first Korean barbecue venues of its kind in London's Soho area. Its arrival marked a turning point when Korean dining culture began to gain visibility in the city.
The space brings Korean barbecue traditions to a London dining setting where guests participate in the cooking experience. Table-side grilling of marinated proteins reflects how this style of dining centers on shared meals and hands-on preparation.
The venue accepts reservations and accommodates groups of various sizes. Visitors should expect that table grilling takes time, and meals progress at a slower pace than in conventional dining settings.
Staff bring raw ingredients to your table on a large platter, and you control exactly when and how long to grill each item. This hands-on approach to cooking sets the meal apart from typical grilling restaurants where the kitchen manages the heat.
