More infoDamso converts soju skeptics with one weapon: the cult yogurt bottle that lands on the table and refuses to leave. This pretty little West End room runs on sharing, pork belly, Korean short ribs, crispy fried chicken, and flavoured soju that loosens the evening. One catch: they only seat full parties, so no arriving separately. After 9pm the all-you-can-eat wings turn things properly rowdy. A steady 4.3, reliably fun.
Go knowing the room is small and they seat full parties only, so arrive together. Order the yogurt and grape soju to taste-test against each other (this is the move that makes the date fun), then share pork belly and the Korean fried chicken. Don't miss the after-9pm all-you-can-eat wings if you're making a late night of it. The vibe is homey and a little loud rather than romantic-quiet, which is exactly why it loosens people up. Budget around an hour and three-quarters; the West End is right outside for a post-dinner stroll.
