Parking was ok on Sunday evening, but I would imagine it to prove quite difficult on weekdays/Saturdays. The menu (from the window) seemed quite nice, quite a large selection of authentic Japanese and Korean cuisines, both cold and hot dishes. So in we went. First thing you will notice is the 3 large, curtained cubicles on the left for private tables of 4+ people, then you have the main area which is a good size and relatively spacious. The deco seemed a little plain with barely anything on the walls, quite a few of the lights had blown and not replaced which seemed to make the place slighty dreary and uncared for. I also thought the private rooms ought to of been put at the back of the restaurant rather than the front as there was a group of noisy, and evidentally drunk, Korean chaps singing at the top of their voices in the box. Service-wise was excellent on first impressions. We were greeted and seated with minimum fuss and maximum smiles and speed. We ordered the mixed Tempura (prawns, various vegs) and Yuk Hwei (raw beef sliced, sliced pear, raw yolk!), Kimchi for starters. The tempura was amazing, in fact I could even say one of the best I've ever had. Very light, fluffy and fried to the perfect crustiness outside and softness inside. The Yukhwei was quite good as well (my gf tried some for the first time as well and thought it was ok :p) however not as good as HanKang of TCR. The Kimchi seemed a bit of a let down. Considering Kimchi is probably the cheapest and easiest to make, the portion size was pitiful. For main course we had Ox tongue and Bulgogi (beef strips marinated) for barbecue and 2 bowls of rice. All was excellent and perfectly cooked by yours truely:P If you're scared of cooking on your own, the waitress will happily cook it for you by your table. Warm sake and green tea for beverages. Both excellent, however the sake needed to be reminded as I think the waitress left it on the bar and forgot. Other comments would be the cutlery didn't match at all which was quite strange and they have very cute little cat Soy sauce pots. :p

The waiter told us how the bbq worked but but we opted for items from the a la cart menu. We started off with drinks and then our mains. 3/5 Miso soup - pretty good but also wasn't amazing. Standard tasting 4/5 Donburi with pork belly - the pork was very nicely cooked and sliced thinly. The pieces were a bit too big and wished it were cut a bit smaller but I really enjoyed it. Would for sure recommend this place. I'd come back and try the bbq option next time. The place also was decorated very cute with Christmas decorations.

I was so excited when i saw the 'opening soon' sign for this restaurant. The prospect of having a local Japanese restaurant really was too good to be true. We finally made it there tonight despite the snow. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, but i just found the food a huge let down for the prices they were charging. There didn't seem to be any Japanese staff, i think it is Korean run. The dishes just didn't taste authentic to me. The avocado salad was tiny for £7, rather bland, and that seemed to be a similar theme for the rest of the meal. The fried aubergine was tasty, and the bottled water was pretty good too. I wanted to love it, but it looks like my favourite Japanese restaurant is still Asakusa in Mornington Cresent!

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!

I have actually looked at Toko Diner's menu a few times before when walking past and have always been put off by the fact that it covers a wide array of Asian food genres - there are dishes from China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam. I doubt whether a kitchen can excel at any one cuisine if it tries to be a jack of all trades. However, was looking for a bite to eat after a recent UYE and decided that I had to give this place a go as it's so close to home. A quick chat to the waitress confirmed that they were Chinese. So I ordered crispy noodles with seafood and went for the mixed sashimi platter Well, I have to say that I enjoyed both dishes. The crispy noodles had some satisfyingly crunchy thin noodles as the base and a generous mix of seafood and vegetables on top with a savoury sauce. The sashimi was a mix of tuna and salmon and the quality of fish was good. They kindly gave me some melon as a free dessert. Overall, this place surprised me in a good way and I shall be back. I wonder if I can try to persuade them to add some Malaysian dishes to the menu!

It's also hard to find a reasonably priced Thai takeaway restaurant. So, thankyou Toko. Having lived in Morden for 3 years my husband and I hadn't really explored the food possibilities in Morden centre beyond KFC. But the accidental discovery of Toko was a really pleasant surprise. Whether eating at the restaurant or getting take out, the food is good, it is reasonably priced and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The soft shell crab roll is amazingly tasty. Probably most amazingly though, is that they've been operating for 8 years and the quality is still great (assuming it always has been great of course!) 1 negative: they don't do beef ho fun. But then it is really a Japanese restaurant so I guess we can't hold it against them!
