Mexican Seoul

Founded by Ashley Chipchase as a lockdown pop-up and now permanently settled at Bow Wharf by Victoria Park, Mexican Seoul is a lively, award-winning Korean-Mexican taco bar with the energy of the best house party in East London. The fusion, which originates from California, works brilliantly here, with gochujang-glazed wings, beef bulgogi tacos and elote corn ribs dusted with pecorino and chilli all fighting for the title of best thing on the menu. The wings have won 15 awards at Wing Fest, and one bite in you'll understand why.

Bang Bang Oriental Foodhall

London's largest Asian food hall, Bang Bang Oriental sits on the Edgware Road in Colindale and packs nearly 30 specialist food kiosks into 32,000 square feet, spanning everything from Cantonese roast duck and Korean bibimbap to Indian street food, Japanese ramen, Filipino grilled pork and Taiwanese bubble tea. The format is simple: grab a table, split up, and work your way around the stalls. Worth the trip out to Zone 4 for any serious fan of Asian food.
