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.

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!

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.

Firstly, the people that work here are totally awesome - very chatty and genuine - just the kind of people that you enjoy giving business to. I had a green smoothie and a chicken Bibimbap to go. The smoothie was very green indeed! I loved it, but be warned - this tasted like veggies. It's not one of those healthy smoothies that hides behind sweet, fruity tastes - it fully embraces it's healthiness, rocking the broccoli and spinach unashamedly, so if you don't like your smoothie to taste to 'green' then this one isn't for you! They have plenty of tasty options, so perhaps go for one of the other smoothies insetead! As for the chicken Bibimbap (which I horrendously mispronounced, might I add) this was very tasty! I'd never really had this sort of thing before, so it took me a few minutes to get used to the flavours, but once I got past that it was a very good take-away meal. The portion was massive and they'd packaged it all up really nicely, making it easy to take to a park and eat in the sun without any bother or mess. There were so many other things that I would have happily tried in here! They had amazing looking fresh sushi up for grabs which, though a little pricier than elsewhere, did look rather great. I'm sure that I'll be back here! Next time you're walking past, pop in and see what you think! :)

Pretty good price wise as the Bulgolgi came with rice, kimchi, miso soup, and a small salad. Usually when i get Beef Bulgolgi in the states I just get the beef and rice.

So a lot may have changed since my visit, but I believe this was a well deserved rating as the ambiance was quiet, and quaint. The service was good and the food was definitely satisfying, as I was craving some Japanese food. If I'm ever in the area again, and craving Japanese food, I'd go back. So enjoy and I hope the quality is just as good as when I was there.

After searching far and wide in Maidenhead I returned to the only Japanese restaurant in town. It…read morewas nothing remarkable but, of the restaurants in Maidenhead, it was top-notch. This says more about Maidenhead than it does about Miyazaki. Although the restaurant had mostly empty tables I was offered a table that they'd need within about 80 minutes. "No problem" I thought, along with "where is this crowd they're expecting"? Eighty minutes later and it was obvious they were truthful. This is Maidenhead's "hot" restaurant. With a sushi menu stretching all the way from tuna to salmon and back again (!) it's fair to say that the selection of raw fish here doesn't go deep or extensive. Does Hamachi even make its way to the UK? I never saw it on a menu once. Miyazaki does offer salmon nigiri both raw and lightly torched and that's about as exotic as things get. What they do they do well enough and certainly well enough for the area. If you're in Maidenhead you might as well make a reservation to dine at Miyazaki. It's not the only restaurant in town but I think it might be best one.
