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!

Good ambience, good attentive service, generally clean (tough the toilet could use some improvement and it is freezing cold in the dead of winter). Their shabushabu hot pot is very good. Fresh thinly sliced beef. Portion is quite big and more than I can handle, but you could share it between two people. Their Japanese fried octopus is quite unique. Do try it. That Japanese seafood soup is a must try especially in winter (generous varieties of real seafood, delicious fish soup base). The Korean fried pork belly is succulent and comes on a sizzling plate. It's intended as an appetizer, but you can order double portion for sharing if you have a big group.

After moving to the area it was time to find a decent Japanese restaurant without having to…read morecompromise too much compared to the choices available in Central London and Maki does not disappoint! Maki is decorated in a typically traditional way for a Japanese restaurant, along with a choice of regular tables and chairs or the more traditional floor table and cushions for a more authentic Japanese experience. It's also a lot more reassuring when all of the staff are Japanese as you can usually expect the food to be a little more authentic. The selection available doesn't disappoint with a wide variety of the usual dishes of sashimi, donburi, tempura, teppen yaki, noodles and other main dishes. However, they don't offer bento boxes for those of you who are fond of them. Their drinks menu is also very extensive so as well as the usual teas and spirits they also stock a lot of Japanese whiskies, beers and sake. The prices are also extremely reasonable for imported Japanese drinks of this quality. I've eaten here several times and sampled the majority of the menu as it fast became my favourite Japanese restaurant in London. The food is extremely delicious so certainly doesn't disappoint and I've always found the service fast and the staff friendly and helpful. With a location not far from Kew and just at the start of Richmond it's also very accessible so if you're ever in the area and fancy a great, authentic Japanese meal then give it a try!

You get even more sides to pair with all the goodies mentioned. I guess you can say bento boxes are like comfort foods to me. When I first moved here, I tried Tokyo Diner in Chinatown and was not impressed (aside from their feature of upgrading to a bigger size at no charge, that's awesome). However, Maki's chicken teriyaki bento is fantastic. Instead of traditional charboiled or grilled chicken breast (or thighs), they dip the chicken pieces in batter, fry it lightly and then put the crack sauce (teriyaki sauce...I do love my sauces) on top of the chicken. Delicious. Pair it with the bento rice and it turns into a dangerous combo -- meaning I can't stop eating it even when I get full. Can one die from eating too much teriyaki chicken and rice?? I also ordered their assorted veggie tempura, and it was just as good. Lightly battered veggies with great dipping sauce. Goes great with rice. For 1.50 quid you get a HUGE steaming cup of green tea to wash everything down. I will be back. However, please be aware of the "optional" 12.5% service charge that they automatically add to your total. If you do takeaway, it's 10% off your order.
