Korean chef to open new London restaurant after three month delay

A world-renowned chef has announced that she will be opening a new London restaurant next month.

Judy Joo, a Korean-American chef, will be opening the doors of Seoul Bird, a new restaurant specialising in Korean-style chicken, on August 6.

The restaurant, which was originally scheduled to open in April, will be in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush.

The interiors have been designed by Run For The Hills, the West London-based design studio, taking cues from Seoul’s architectural motifs.

Judy commented: “The Korean way of cooking is so generous and hospitable, something that we all need right now.

“Seoul Bird is my interpretation of true Korean comfort food - we won’t hug you but our food will!

“I can’t wait to bring my favourite flavours and a big taste of Korea, from shatteringly crunchy fried chicken to warming, spicy gochujang sauces to Westfield!”
