Everyone loves BBQ and more so in the summer!! As soon as I was invited to review Superstar BBQ, the newly opened Korean BBQ restaurant, I couldn’t say no. As busy as we all are, there’s always time for a meal.
In the area that used to be known as Centre
Point Koreatown has now been victim of the Tottenham Court Road Station’sCrossrail Project. Along St Giles Street was where one can get the most
authentic Korean food in central London. It is a real disappointment as my
favourite cosy little Assa
is one of them!
It was quite comforting though, knowing that
there’s a new Korean in the vicinity. Superstar BBQ is located at the Piazza of
the colourful Central St Giles,
designed by the architect Renzo Piano who
also did the famous Shard.
We visited Superstar BBQ on a Saturday afternoon
and were greeted with smiles as we entered. Surprisingly, it was rather quiet.
I suppose it is still very new, plus it’s the August holiday season!
The lunch menu was a mixture of BBQ and the
usual Bibimbap. We ordered the BBQ lunch obviously. And were fed rather well
with lots of smokey BBQ meat, but it under performed in our opinion. They
tasted nice but not to its capacity it could have been. Korean barbeque is
usually packed with so much flavour; it does a ‘Wham bam boom’ in the mouth.
Not this one though. It was lack in flavour and probably not marinated for long
enough. The sauces provided were lack of punch too.
The highlight from this meal was the ‘Korean
beef tartare served with pears’. It was very tasty, unique and refreshing all
at the same time, something I have never yet tasted so far. I would definitely
go back for this fabulous beef tartare!
