KJ Korean Restaurant in Kingston upon Thames

2 stars for hot food! But if you want hot and yummy ones, please head across the road, Ha Ru.Because when we walked in, told the waitress for table for 5. She directed us to the table and went to take 4 menus. She put the menu in front of each person except me. She didn’t notice me or she’s just too lazy to go back and get another one? Oh. There’s no cutlery for me too. Am I invisible?!Ordered a variety of food ranging from appetizer, mains and “other dishes”. She said the food will come separately and I requested for it to come together as we prefer it to have it all at the same time. She said she can’t serve all together and the “other dishes” is a starter. WHY? And she can’t explain.The food is just adequate but what impresses me was the hot food. Kitchen staff did well.

Taste so yummy and especially pork curry was great with huge size of amount.Recomend this place sushi as well!Lived it!

I recommend sashimi course. They offer their food in authentic Korean way.

Very small portion of sashimi costs 70 pounds. Don't recommend. If you know the what Japanese and Korean food like, don't go there. Don't understand why people give positive feedback. Even I can make that better at home.

Love the Gganpunggi! So juicy and tender. Not too spicy, nor too sweet.LA galbi is on the chewy side, samgyeopsal is good with lettuce and ssamjang. Minimum 2 portions for table top BBQ. Charcoal is used, which is a big plus.Staff are friendly, toilets are clean, tap water is available (as required by law), not too expensive, service charge added to final bill

I was a little skeptical to visit after reading reviews but a Korean friend recommended this restaurant to me so I decided to go with my friend and my daughter for lunch. So glad we went! Lovely service from the young man working Weds afternoon. Food was delicious, portions very generous! When I asked for a small spoon for my daughter the waiter bought over a kids cutlery set, very much appreciated. We ordered two bento boxes and an udon set with sushi, we were so full! We requested a takeaway box for our leftovers and this was given to us with no problems. Really happy to recommend KJ and looking forward to coming back again soon.

If you’re deciding between different Korean places in New Malden, and are considering this restaurant, then just go with it, the food is excellent and you won’t regret your choice. The Korean dishes are authentic and served in good quantities with lovely ‘banchan’ (sides) and rice. Portions are good, and the Japanese selection including sushi is of a good quality and a nice bonus.

Decent food, decent service, I’ve tried a number of both Korean and Japanese dishes here over the years and they have been consistently good 😊 (I was worried about the quality after the lockdown but it seems they have kept the standard 🙏)

Good! If you wanna have Korean & Japenese food together try out this is the place!

Very busy during the eat out to help out days. Need to book in advance. Seems to be authentic Korean. The lettuce is very fresh. The beef bulgogi is only ok. Bibimbap is a nice one.
