Olle Korean Barbecue, Korean barbecue restaurant in Shaftesbury Avenue, Westminster, United Kingdom.
Olle Korean Barbecue is a table grill restaurant on Shaftesbury Avenue in Westminster spread across two floors with teal decor throughout. Each table has its own built-in grilling station where guests can cook premium meats, seafood, and traditional side dishes themselves.
The restaurant was established by Charles Seo, the creator of Kyoto Soho, to broaden Korean dining options beyond the traditional establishments already present in the neighborhood. It grew from a vision to offer something different in the Shaftesbury Avenue dining scene.
The place practices Korean table grilling culture, where guests cook their chosen cuts directly at the table and share traditional side dishes and seasonings. This hands-on dining style turns the meal into a shared experience for everyone seated together.
The place opens daily from midday until late evening, with extended hours on Saturdays, making it accessible for lunch, dinner, and evening meals. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for weekends, as the interactive grilling experience at each table requires some space and preparation time.
The menu features carefully selected cuts of Wagyu beef and Iberico pork that are less commonly found in London restaurants, paired with clay pot stews cooked low and slow. This combination showcases both the refined and rustic sides of Korean cooking in one place.
