Konjö

Found on the ground floor of a stack of shipping containers where big brother Jöro used to be, distinctly urban and moody Konjö serves ‘East Asian-inspired’ dishes, many cooked on a robata grill. It was originally a street-food concept designed to make use of Jöro’s delicious by-products, but is now a fully fledged restaurant in its own right.

A must-order from the lunch menu is gyudon donburi, sticky rice with grilled rump cap steak (rich with smoked beef fat), dashi and caramelised shallot dressing, all topped with tangy pickled shallots and a glossy soy-cured egg yolk. On the main menu (available all day), the hot-smoked beef nugget with Japanese ‘golden curry’ ketchup is a masterly mouthful, while the smoky charcoal-grilled maitake mushroom with house teriyaki and satay sauce makes for a spectacular centrepiece. Korean fried chicken is a reader-recommended 'favourite', and we found the Korean fried cauliflower with its crunchy, sticky gochujang glaze addictive. 

The off-piste drinks list brings something a bit different to Sheffield, with plenty of intriguing options to choose from, including, on our visit, a house-made soda involving BBQ pineapple and gochugaru (Korean chilli powder), a Moonlight sake, and a single-varietal sparkling perry – all at reasonable prices.
