Korean restaurant in New Malden.
Billy, bob, Martin and Northern Steve visited on a Thursday evening in February. When we arrived at about 21:00 there was one other table being used. All the tables have gas stoves needed for Korean BBQ. The lampshade also doubles as an extractor fan.
We ordered 4 appetisers and 4 things for the grill. This was more than enough food, especially since they bring you side dishes of kimchi and other pickles as well and are happy to give you more of them if you ask. Our total bill including including beer (OB) was about £100. No service charge was added.
While we ordered the appetisers in expectation of having them as starters they turned up at random points throughout the meal. This was actually quite good since we had to wait for the korean bbq stuff to cook.
For appetisers we had kimchi pancakephoto, Deep Fried Shrimp(£9), Stir fried baby octopus in hot spicy sauce and a pork dish. The pancake was really good. The Shrimp were very large and tasty. The pork was tasty. The octopus was fine. Although eating an enitre baby octopus is always fun. Portion size for the appetisers was pretty large and they would have done as main courses.
For the grill we had marinaded eel in a chilli sauce, thinly sliced pork belly, pork belly in chilli sauce and ox tongue. These also came with aged kimchi and tofu, which were warmed on the grill. They were all pretty good. The waitress did the bbqing for us and talked to us about the various dishes.
