Mama Sephlyn in Lewisham

When I am craving healthy comfort food this is my go-to! I usually walk 20 mins to collect and ring ahead - I love the bibimbap, big hearty portions and really yummy - you dont want it to end!!!!

We both had seafood stew, and shared kimchi and mixed veggies. Food was decent without being spectacular. Both stews came out bland but tasted better once we added salt and kimchi. They were small in size and the seafood was obviously from frozen packets.Echoing comment from another reviewer - the waitress who served us was slow, uninterested and didn’t have a great attitude despite us being only the customers in the restaurant

Excellent food and vibey atmosphere. Our new go to spot.

The food is on point! 👌 Feels very homemade and authentic. I had the soondubu jjigae and namul both of which were very tasty and well seasoned. The portion sizes were good and prices reasonable. I came at a quiet time and service was quick and polite. My only gripe was that you’ll need to order rice separately as most places it comes with the dish. Would recommend if you enjoy Korean food. I’ll visit again to try the rest of the menu!

A disappointing experience. Walked in with my friend and the young girl behind the till was on the phone. Stood around in her eyesight for 5 minutes hoping she might wave me onto one of the many free tables. I tried to get her line of vision but she ignored me. So I gave up and chose my own table. She came over after a while and just slumped the menus into our table. No greeting. Not even an hello. Then promptly walked away. She clearly looked like she didn't want to be there and treated customers with disdain as if they are adding to her agony held captive in the restaurant.After I gave her my order all she said was "anything else?". Felt not just cold and dismissive but quite rude.The food was ok. The steamed rice was lukewarm. The portion was tiny. About a tea cup full. I was left with a huge bowl of meat and a tiny dollop of rice. Completely disproportionate to each other. As with most (but not all ) Korean restaurants in Uk, there was no more free rice or banchan (side dishes like kimchi ). These are numerous and free in Korea. Very sadly, the server's complete lack of interaction, manners and general level of hospitality were sub zero. A robot would have done better.I also must point out that I have worked in Seoul twice a year for 5 years and can speak some basic Korean. I know that my accent is reasonable because I am always understood when I am there. I greeted the girl upon entry which is common in Korea. She just gave me a blank look. Not just rude but es especially rude for a Korean. Again after she took our orders , I thanked her in Korean only to be ignored again. And no, she wasn't Chinese or other Asian not able to understand. She was born in Korea because I asked her.I live nearby and this restaurant is always less than half full when I walk by. It can't be the food which is decent enough. Perhaps a better sense of customer service could be attained. And no. I don't expect a big American song and dance meet and greet. Just the same basic pleasantries as most decent restaurants. The furthest you could imagine from the friendly and happy service I've always experienced in South Korea.

Overpriced, the pancake was soggy and too thick. The food is good but not as great as slot of other Korean restaurants out there. Doesn't fair up to somewhere like you&me in New Malden. But it's the best you'll get in the Lewisham area

- Foods served in no time- Helpful staffs- Vegetarian options availableHighly recommended!

Complain about service, particularly the young waitress who is very very rude and impolite. Foods are fine, I love the seafood pancake but the fired chicken is not recommended because it just like a Chinese sweet sour chicken more than Korean fried chicken

Hit and miss with the food but lovely couple who runs this place, great service!Some food are ok and some were bad. The Beef Bulgogi was really bad, just really sweet (tasted like artificial sugar) and nothing like Bulgogi. Spicy pork was ok, dry meat but the flavour was ok.Enjoyed the Beef Bone Soup, Soyabean Paste and Pancake though!4* for the the couple!

Food.Let's begin with food. I think it is very good. The flavours are strong so it will appeal to many. There is enough choices to suit all taste. Price is fine. Our meal totalled just under £60. Prices for a dish are around £10ServiceThe owners..one is probably the chef and the wife is at the counter. She was quite pleasing and was quick to serve. That is the beauty of small businesses!How busy?It gets quite busy and they had to turn away customer. I guess they serve great food. Maybe they could have offered the turned down guess a take away.With covid 19, there are about 5 sets of tables.Location. We came here because we could park down the road. We came here with our kids. Had we not had parking space, we would not have been able to make it.Recommend?Absolutely!
