Memories of Seoul

You wouldn't expect to find Liverpool's best Korean food tucked away in the Royal Albert Dock, but here we are. The tourist crowds wandering past might not know what they're missing, but locals have clocked onto this place for a reason. The kimchi has that perfect fermented funk, the bulgogi arrives properly caramelised, and they don't water down the gochujang for British palates. The space feels more like a neighbourhood Korean joint than a dockside tourist trap, with staff who actually care about getting your banchan right. Yes, you'll pay dock prices, but when the bibimbap arrives sizzling and the Korean fried chicken has that shatteringly crisp coating, you'll forgive the premium. Smart move booking ahead – word's definitely out.
