    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.

As for the grill, I waited for our garlic, witch complement the meat,until we finished two dishes. And we received cold dish starter that we did not order, I assumed it should be a free gift(this case for most Korean restaurants). The waitress questioned me while we were eating, and took it back. The entire meal is not worth the money.

    This was a real treat. The food was lovely and the staff extremely friendly. The matron took time…read moreto go through the menu with me. She asked me a series of questions to see what dishes I might like. She helped me pick a starter and some side dishes. I am a massive fan of Bulgogi, which is why I came here. She recommended that I try the Bulgogi barbeque style. Korean Grill refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meats and vegetables. The meat is grilled right at you table. They apparently use the latest technology grills, which is an electric bio ceramic table barbeque which retains the taste, but at the same time, drains the fats and extra oil out of the meat. With my Bulgogi barbeque, the matron recommended that I also ordered the Sangchoo & Par moochim (lettuce and seasoned spring onions), pajori (spicy scallion, spring onion salad) and ssamjang (a spicy paste made of soy bean paste mixed with chili paste). The the traditional Korean way of consuming BBQ is to wrap the a slice of the meat, vegetables, a dab of chili paste sauce, rice with lettuce and immediately eat with your hands, in one bite the matron advised me. The Korean Grill offers over 60 dishes, inluding 13 side dishes. They also do fresh Kimchi, which has officially been announced as one of top 5 world's healthiest foods. The next time I am in Bournemouth, I will definitely visit the Korean Grill again. It's a real gem.
