Miga

Tucked away on Mare Street, just steps from Regent’s Canal, Miga is a soulful, family-run Korean restaurant that blends heritage, heart, and high-calibre cooking. With roots tracing back to the 1970s in Seoul, where the family matriarch was hailed as one of the city’s top chefs, Miga is the latest chapter in a culinary legacy that spans generations and continents.

At the helm is a father-son trio: Dad commands the open kitchen with quiet mastery, while his sons bring warmth and charm to the front of house. 

The menu is refreshingly concise, showcasing a modern take on Korean cuisine with dishes that are bold, balanced, and deeply comforting. Highlights include the soy-braised short ribs, slow-cooked to a caramelised richness with pear and shiitake mushrooms; sweet potato glass noodles with a silky, savoury finish; and king prawns bathed in a fiery gochujang sauce.

Inside, Miga is bright and airy, with minimalist interiors that let the food and family story shine. The walls proudly display the restaurant’s origin tale, inviting guests to become part of its journey. And while it’s BYOB for now, the team encourages diners to bring their favourite bottle - or grab something local from nearby Broadway Market.
