Bibimbap a little bland compared to others I've had, and bibimbap is my weakness, and also I think kimchee should be cheaper or free, in my experience that's pretty normal... the nibbles just screamed 'we're not kimchee'. Hence the three stars. But friendly staff and good value overall.

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!

My review is probably not representative as you wouldn't normally just pass by this place in need…read morefor a quick coffee. Located in a side street near London Fields, their regular clientele is bound to be more local and in the know. A destination for a relaxed drink or meal, rather than an obvious place for a quick coffee. But that's what I was after. Having arrived early for an immersive "room adventure" experience which entails knocking on a door in Helmesley Place at exactly the right time, I spotted the sunny yard. There is actually a cafe opposite which might have been the more logical choice, but they didn't have a sunny garden ... Anyhow, I asked for a coffee at the bar, paid my £2.60 and waited for a while until I was told to find a seat and that they'd find me ... a waiter actually came up to me after 10 minutes to ask for my order, and I reminded him of my existing one, asking for a glass of water to go with it ... another 10 minutes passed before my coffee arrived (still no water, all I needed was a glass - the free bottle of tap was right there in front of me as a cruel tease), just as I was getting ready to head back across the street (hence the tip I wrote at the time). I quickly necked my cappuccino and rushed off. Having taken ages to make it was the sort of coffee that deserved to be savoured - would have been lovely to spend my spare quarter hour doing just that!

It was really very good and I will be keeping tabs on them when they hopefully go permanent. In terms of the layout of Climpsons Arch is is quite hidden away behind London Fields but makes up for it with a cool outdoor bit (they actually do all their cooking out there under cover). The first time I went there was Burger Monday battle off and in the summer it is fantastic. Beers and burgers flowing under the sun. Perfect! They've always been very friendly whenever I've popped by. One time they even invited me to hang inside as it was raining during the chefs lunch break. It's normally walk in so it can be hit and miss if you get a space but there is a good amount of tables inside.

A friend and I went here for lunch at 1:00 on a weekday afternoon and didn't have to queue for very long. They can fit a fair amount of people in the restaurant because the tables are so close together. I found it to be quite uncomfortable. It was impossible to get to your table without disturbing other diners - throughout our whole meal, people had to squeeze between our table and the table next to us, which jostled the tables and we were sat so close to the people next to us that we frequently bumped elbows. Spacing out the tables just a little would make the experience so much more comfortable and would help with the noise level. Service was prompt and attentive. They are really efficient at making your food and they will bring each dish out as it is ready, rather than waiting and bringing everything at once. Most everything on the menu comes a la carte, so between the two of us we split a small order of the fried chicken, bibimbap, and chicken buns. Everything was pretty standard taste wise and portions are on the small side especially when you consider the cost. I would order again, but would do takeaway, as I found the restaurant to be too cramped to enjoy the experience.

I had never tried Korean barbecue before so I was excited to give this place a go. It's on the…read moretastecard which is how I found it so you can get some money off your bill and if you select the 10 course set menu you really get enough food to be stuffed by the end. As I found out, when you go for Korean barbecue you have the actual barbecue in the middle of your table so you can cook your own meat and veggies just like you want them. But before you get to that there is an array of delicious starters and sides that are put in your table, meats, fish, seafood, vegetables, rice and soups. Once you go through most of those, you meats of choice are brought out and the barbecue is turned heated up. You can then start cooking your steaks using the special wooden cutlery and cut them up with a pair or scissors. This way you can be sure you have everything as soon as it's done and nothing gets cold. We decided to go with the set menu that offers 3 types of meat per person but if you really want to push your limits or have not eater for days there's an unlimited meat option too. If you pick that one, I salute you. Anyway, I definitely enjoyed everything I tried and look forward to going back soon. I recommend going there with a group as that would be great fun and you can order a greater variety of foods. Either way it's worth putting it in your schedule.

Naru has been my long running fave Korean restaurant in central London for quite a number of years…read more- whilst it's still good in a great location, I've found a new place to direct ppl for awesome Korean food. We had a really early reservation because we had tickets to the RWC later that evening - got there right at opening around 5:30. This place looks like a proper Korean BBQ place because they have the vents that suck the BBQ smoke from the table. We were tempted at the Buffet menus but given that it was quite early we decided on getting the kimchi jeon, spicy pork and fried chicken. First they came out with banchan & kimchi - very few places in London offer this so a major plus as it reminds me of places in NY. The kimchi jeon was really good - at first looked a bit small as only two pieces came out but there was a bit of a confusion between the lunch menu so we got the other half later on! The spicy pork was good - I much prefer the one at Naru but still quite good. We asked them to cook it in the kitchen as it's not worth the effort to bbq at the table for 1 portion. The Korean fried chicken was probably the best I've had in London so far. We wanted half and half and they were quite nice to offer the sauce on the side. It was deliciously fried - comparing this to On the bab last week, we like this one a lot more. One funny thing to highlight is the plain rice. I grew up with a mom who was quite fussy about white rice and this place... they do it quite well. Fluffy and a bit on the sticky side. Lastly, in a typical Korean restaurant fashion, we received fruit salad at the end of our meal. We will definitely be back!

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?
