Mon Korea

You head down Heathfield Road into King's Heath and find yourself in a place that gets Korean food right without any pretence. Mon Korea trades in the real stuff: bubbling stews that arrive at your table still hissing, grilled meats you cook yourself at the table, and banchan sides that keep coming. It's the kind of spot where you watch families tucking into massive sharing platters and realise this is exactly what the neighbourhood needed. The room's straightforward—no faffing about with interior design—so the focus stays entirely on what matters: the food and the people eating it.
