Cambridge’s Korean restaurant scene is newer and smaller than its Chinese or Indian scenes, concentrated in and around the city centre’s main shopping streets – King Street, Regent Street, Green Street and St Andrew’s Street – with a further outpost on Mill Road. Here are five worth seeking out.

Kimchili sits on King Street, in Cambridge’s small bar-and-restaurant row, running a broad Korean menu covering stews, grilled dishes and banchan sides.

A 4.8-star average across 388 reviews makes it one of the best-reviewed Korean restaurants in the city.

Yori sits on St Andrew’s Street, a Korean barbecue restaurant built around tabletop grilling in the heart of the city centre.

A 4.5-star average across 2,655 reviews makes it one of the highest-volume Korean restaurants in Cambridge by review count.

Yori BBQ’s Green Street site is a separate branch from the St Andrew’s Street restaurant, giving the brand two footholds a few minutes’ walk apart in the city centre.

A 4.2-star average across 723 reviews shows the format has drawn a large following at this second location too.

Kim’s Bulgogi sits on Regent Street, specialising in bulgogi – marinated grilled beef – alongside the wider range of Korean cooking.

A 4.4-star average across 247 reviews reflects a solid local reputation in one of Cambridge’s busier restaurant streets.

Bibimbap House sits on Mill Road in Petersfield, a Korean restaurant built – as the name suggests – around bibimbap rice bowls alongside other Korean staples.

A 4.6-star average across 511 reviews makes it one of the most popular Korean restaurants in the city, in a street known for its food diversity.
