Cah Chi was a Korean restaurant in [[Locale Earlsfield|Earlsfield]]. It has now closed. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Korean restaurant in [[Locale Earlsfield|Earlsfield]]. It's a small space, seating only about 35-40 people at sturdy square tables covered with Formica in a rustic wood effect. The floor is (real) wood, and art prints and wooden masks hang on the walls. [[Kake]] visited on a Saturday lunchtime in March 2017. There were four other customers when I arrived a little after 12:30pm, and several more turned up while I was there. Korean pop music was playing, not too loud. Four complimentary side dishes (banchan) were placed on the table moments after I'd ordered: kimchi, potato, aubergine, and sweet soya beans <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32662297194/ photo]</small>. The aubergine was particularly good — soft and silky but in no way overcooked. The potato was also very well-judged, being firm enough to be interesting but not undercooked. Gun-mandu (군만두; fried dumplings; £6 for the vegetable option) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32662296644/ photo]</small> arrived hot and freshly fried. They seemed to be mainly filled with cabbage, but were flavourful enough once dunked in the accompanying soy sauce dip. Japchae (잡채; stir-fried glass noodles; £8 for the beef option) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/33349447062/ photo]</small> had a good texture and flavour. The proportions of the different ingredients were well-balanced, and the distinct flavour of each vegetable came through well. Service was welcoming and efficient. Tap water arrived in a glass with ice, and was replenished twice from a jug, both times before I'd completely run out. A 10% service charge was added to the bill. They do BYOB for wine only. They also only accept cash or cheques; no cards. Accessibility: A very small step to get in, no more than an inch. A step up, narrow turn, and two steps down to the toilets.
