We ordered takeaway away. We ordered the spicy squid, the Bang Bang Chicken half fried half glazed and the meat dumplings. I'm sorry to say but they all taste not fresh... Especially the fried chicken it was very soggy and it is very oily. It didn't taste fresh. I will try not to order from this restaurant. I hope the restaurant will work on the food quality.
Well known old establishment in New Maden/Raynes Park area as good authentic Korean BBQ. On our last visit we decided to opt in for non-BBQ option which was a sharing spicy seafood soup jjampong and Yangyum chicken. To my surprise they served us a spicy raw crab as a side dish which is real delicacies and not easy to find in the UK Korean restaurants. All dishes were super tasty and even had to order extra rice thanks to the raw crab. I love coming here and also recommend to those after an authentic charcoal K-BBQ experience.
Had the korean bbq and other dishes. I recommend the Wang galbi and daeji galbi. The table next to us asked us what we got because it smelled/looked really good. Was a bit on the expensive side around 40~60£ per person but service was excellent and they changed the grilled very often for us.Food: 4/5
Been drawn to visiting this place as they sell spicy raw crab. Decided to go all out with the family, found some dishes overpriced like their vegetable dish and chicken Katsu. The most disappointing bit is that the spicy raw crab tasted like ammonia, decided to take it home and order another one to compare whether it was just an dodgy batch and eat in the comfort of my own home. Both batch tasted like ammonia, googled to why this could be and it mentions that this come be signs of old crabs rather than fresh or freshly defrosted which is worrying and I didn’t feel it was safe to continue eating.
I used to hold this Korean restaurant in high regard. While the complimentary side dishes ban chan are still a nice touch, the quality of the meats has significantly declined. The restaurant uses coal for their Korean BBQ, which sounds great in theory, but the lack of flame meant the meats were slowly cooking on the grill, missing that essential charred flavour. Our order: Galbi Tang: Their famous beef short rib soup was mild in flavour, though it had a generous portion of meat. It was comforting but lacked the depth and richness I was hoping for. The broth was clear and hearty with a good meat-to-broth ratio. Tteokbokki: The rice cakes in spicy sauce had good, authentic flavours. However, the dish was heavy on onions and only had a couple of pieces of fishcake, which felt a bit unbalanced. The vibrant red sauce promised heat and flavour, but the imbalance in ingredients was a letdown. Korean BBQ King Rib and Pork Belly: The quality of the meat was poor. The king rib was chewy and lacked tenderness, while the pork belly was very standard. The slow cooking on the grill didn’t help, leaving the meats underwhelming. Visually, the BBQ meats on the grill missed the appealing char you usually forward to with KBBQ, leading to a presentation that didn’t quite match the expected flavours. I wouldn’t recommend visiting for Korean BBQ, but some of the cooked dishes might still be worth trying if you’re in the area. Saying this, it’s no longer worth making a special trip.
Loved our 1st Korean meal here! Great flavours and service. Parking: Free off street parking on weekends.
Been here many time, Never ever disappointed, very testy, and welcome, great service 10/10, recommend Bossam, and raw crab,Food: 5/5
I ordered a Korean traditional food called 'SunDae' like Scottish black pudding. The price is 19 pounds. We can not eat this, looks like disgusting and texture like very slimey and finally taste like I can not find a word soggy mash potato with pot noodle soup powder base. Before I ordered I asked how much portion would be, a man said it is about 1.5 person portion. He did not explain one third would be terrible SunDae, 2 third would be sliced liver/kidney/pig ear. When the other man packed and passed to me SunDae, he did not say a word at all. Very unfriendly. Steamed Spare Ribs was too sweet. I do not think a cook does not know how to. Very disappointed at this time for last 20 years experience where I visited here.
Food was authentic, wont say I’ll come all the way from central London for it again though. The raw crab was the highlight of the dinner as it was pretty fresh and normally harder to find in London. Customer service was alright, not as bad as some of the other reviews, but I guess we didn’t go during peak times so it wasn’t as busy.
One of the top Korean restaurants in London. Very fast service and fresh food. They help you with the BBQ, checking to make sure it's cooked and ready. Marinated beef short rib was to die for, very tender and flavoursome. However the beef kalbi in diamond shape was disappointing, very chewy even though it was marbled cut. This was more expensive than the marinated version. Mix veg not worth the money, a few slices of carrots, onions and courgettes for £11!
