The reason this is 5 star though is because the Korean fried chicken here is just banging! :) Strongly recommend - whenever am craving fried chicken - not too often it serves up a treat. You can get the mixed variety with half honey glazed & half normal. Josh the owner is really nice - cute family run biz plus always has kpop in the background. Yep IU, BTS you name it ;) great addition to Hendon.

As I was in the famous 'Korea-town' of New Malden tonight, I decided to continue my education in…read moreKorean food. After looking at the windows of several Korean restaurants on Burlington Road, I settled on Me You as having the best local reviews up in the window. The atmosphere was like a local family restaurant with no rush to turn tables over. Although the waitresses didn't speak good English, I was eventually able to get the advice I was seeking on the food. It helped that the menu had a picture of every dish available. I was also impressed that the waitress taking my order gently suggested that 3 dishes might be too much for even a greedy pig like me! And she was right as the portions were big. I started with the Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake). This was lovely - crispy on the outside with small bits of seafood and spring onion. I also had a bowl of seafood with noodles in a spicy soup - I think it was called koppongi. I was startled to find not just a mussel in its shell but also whelks still in their shell in the soup - proves that the seafood was fresh and not frozen! The soup was spicy enough to wake up the tastebuds I'm starting to get a feel for Korean food after a few visits to Korean restaurants. Their food philosophy is the opposite to the Japanese, which rely on few flavours and ingredients but each flavour is distinct and obvious. On the other hand, Korean food is a whole melange of everything thrown together - meat, seafood, vegetables, flavourings. Even bibimbap, which is served with all the ingredients in separate piles in the bowl, must be all mixed together and coalesced before you tuck in. I enjoyed my visit here and have spotted a few dishes I would like to return and try.

BACKGROUND - I'm from the States, more specifically the west coast aka home to the best Korean…read morerestaurants. Since moving to London, I had been having great difficulty finding authentic Asian cuisines (Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, etc.). After being let down at Jee Cee Neh on the same block, I decided to give You Me a try, given the favourable reviews. PROS - Very comfortable, intimate and inviting space. Greeted warmly when we stepped in and immediately had a table cleaned up for us. The menu had pictures for EACH item, making the process of deciding which item to get extremely hard because well shit, I wanted everything. My date and I finally narrowed it down to an order of the large dumplings, spicy black bean sauce with noodles and the oxtail soup. We were blown away. The "large dumplings" weren't really "dumplings" per se, but actually hot fluffy buns filled with a generous amount of yummy pork and veggie filling, served with an equally yummy (soy sauce/vinegar/hint of red pepper) dipping sauce. It was such a good deal as well for those suckers. For about £6, you get 6 large hot and fluffy buns. That alone could be a meal but that was filed under "appetizers" in their menu. The spicy black bean noodles was done perfectly, I don't know what else to say about that except the noodles were fresh and the sauce was just so freaking good. The oxtail soup was not bland, but just a sip of it will let you know they have stewed it for a long time. The soup was no instant bouillon type of nonsense. It was the real deal. The soup was served with complimentary Korean rice. Another HUGE PRO - Complimentary refills on your BAN CHAN. That's right, not only did we get more banchan (the side dishes they serve you to refresh your palate) here than at Jee Cee Neh, they immediately restocked our banchan, free of charge when we ran out. How awesome is that? That alone would make me come back to try their dishes but will everything going to fabulously, I would be crazy NOT to go back. CONS - Absolutely none. I was so pleased with the quick service, the amazing food for great prices, and the portions (above average!). Shoot, even the bathrooms were really clean. Everything was so great. POINTERS - You Me kicks Jee Cee Neh's hind quarters out of the bush ..........yup. Pictures to come!

This Korean BBQ is a hidden gem, 10 minute walk from Richmond high street. On a Friday evening, the…read morerestaurant was packed with other guests but we were seated right away upstairs. Aside from the modern aesthetics, what makes this restaurant special is their table grills! The idea self-cooking is a really great form of dinner entertainment. When we were seated, our server recommended us a few popular plates, including the bulgogi dish and Oppa BBQ special, as I had mentioned to him that this was our first time here. He said customers usually order an individual BBQ plate to cook on the table and then a side dish (usually rice or noodles). We ordered the bulgogi, brisket beef, chicken fried rice and assorted kimchi platter. As soon as the food came out, my husband began cooking the meat on the table grill and this part of the meal was such a fun experience for him! Both the brisket and bulgogi were well seasoned and we both loved the kimchi platter. The fried rice was pretty good too and each portion was big enough for one. We also took a look at the other tables and their food looked equally appetizing. Empty plates are a good indicator of yummy food! Our meal turned out to be £30 for two people - a great dinner for its price! Pro tip: Be sure to ask for an additional tongs so that more than one person can handle the cooking on the table. We will definitely be coming back again!

I really enjoy this place…read more Yes its not your cheap Korean (except Bibimbap which is your regular 10ish pounds) but you do get quality produce and thick pieces of meat. We ordered a bunch of meat and seafood for the BBQ : my highlights were the kalbi beef (rib eye) the baby octopus and the spicy pork. I love the kimchee platters, kimchi rice and veggie japchae (potatoes glass noodles) If you re in the Richmond area, I highly recommand this place, service is really good. The only downside is that its ususally quite empty so it lacks in buzz but it does makes it easier to catch up with friends.

The space is actually pretty nice, particularly if you're sitting in the back. Servers are helpful and attentive, aided in part by that great but rarely exported technology from Korea: the call-for-service button. One could argue that the mere existence of such a device signals some degree of legitimacy to the establishment. You do have to cook your own here but that's to be expected from the usual establishments. Food is pretty good. We opted for all pork this go around and all of it was enjoyable. The basic pork belly faired the worst although using sesame and especially their ssamjang made everything balance out. Bugolgi was next and here it had a very interesting taste that we think had cinnamon added to the usually pear-based sauce; it neither detracted or added to the taste so it just became a topic of conversation really. Spicy pork was last and quite good, requiring no additional help from the sauces. The soju selection here is pretty weak so be prepared for the most standard Jinro (they didn't even have Fresh here) or get some other drinks. Will return!

TLDR: grill your own food, staff is attentive, great food…read more Food: 5/5, expected Bulgogi and Spicy Chicken. We got what we want. Marination seemed spot on in terms of flavor. Bulgogi cut did not have a lot of fat, which is good. You do have to grill it yourself if you're not used to it. Remember, chicken coooks longer, so do that last or early on. We got the cocktail sprits and it was pretty good. I recommend the berry over the lemonade. Doesn't hit you hard tho if you're looking for something with more alcohol. Ambience: (5/5), around dinner time, it started pouring in people. Otherwise, we had enough room for two, wasn't crowded, very clean Customer service: (5/5). No complaints.

This is fairly no-frills casual place which you can probably infer from the focus on KFC. It's nice enough to sit down for a meal but don't expect to feel the desire to hang out too long.

Kimchi jigae was not bad and will definitely give you your fix of the classic staple. However, bugolgi dumplings were clearly store-bought and tasted like they'd been in the freezer for ages - skip these because they're really weird. Fairly inexpensive. Try it if you're in the area.

The interior gives you a sense of being in an underground bar somewhere in Asia, and it comes complete with Pucca dolls nestled on top of the booze bottles behind the bar. There is seating both upstairs and downstairs, but given how crazy it gets, if you're planning on coming, book in advance. I've eaten here twice, and I can safely say that the food is legit! It's surprisingly authentic given the location, and the drinks aren't half-bad, either. The Bibimbap with Bulgogi Beef is one of my favorites, thus far, with the perfect ratio of rice to beef, kimchi to veggies. It's one hearty dish, so come hungry. The Signature Fried Chicken is also done to perfection, and if you've ever had Korean Fried Chicken before, you know what I'm talking about. It's not expensive, but sadly, you only get 2 pieces. Believe me, you will want more. I can also vouch for the cocktails. Being a girly drinker myself, I can't pass up a delicious fruity cocktail from people who know how to put it together well. However, they also have a great Happy Hour with some of the cheapest beer you'll find to pair perfectly with your meal. That is how they do it in Korea anyway, isn't it?
