Haru Resturant in Kingston upon Thames

It was a fun meal with delicious food and friendly staff. All the food was really delicious. I recommend this restaurant as a place where you can enjoy a meal with friends and family at any time.

Delicious as always. Service a bit slow to start with but once we'd placed our order it was very prompt. Fried dumplings for starters were delicious. I had the tofu and seafood soup with rice which was flavourful and filling, 100% would order again (or rather I wouldn't, purely because there are so many other things I want to try in the menu). Bf had the bibimbap (excuse the spelling) with beef and it looked like a good size, but he said he wanted more but he realises that was just him and we hadn't eaten much that day. Food was hot, clearly freshly made. Overall lovely friendly atmosphere. I don't rate the wine but it's fine for what it is. Don't let that put you off, absolutely do visit. I'm planning to bring my parents here and they don't even like going to restaurants.

You are given a warm welcome by the staff. Their food is delicious and after eating you feel like you have had a filling meal.

Cosy restaurant with sit down seating area at the back. The food came out quickly with side dishes too. Defo recommend if you don’t want to go to a Korean bbq grill.

very cosy atmosphere, but very welcoming. I had some wonderful udon seafood noodles and while I struggled with chopsticks (I availed myself of a fork and spoon) the broth was lovely and there was a good amount of seafood. The kimichi was a great addition.

A small family run eatery on New Malden High Street serving routine Korean dishes. The food inc kimchi pancake, chicken fried, bibimbap and mandus, was delicious, delicately flavoured and fresh. Would vidit again.

Lovely food in a simple restaurant, plain decor but excellent Korean food, cheap and tasty served quickly. no alcohol but green tea is fine.

A small Korean restaurant but it is worth it! Strongly recommend! Clean and tidy eating area! ................... ................. .........................

The food was delicious, the service was sweet, the food came out quick, the portions were decent, and prices are not too bad. We will be coming back again.

I purchased some take away food from the Haru establishment in New Malden in the early afternoon of Tuesday 20th April 2021, and was served by an elderly gentleman. I was excited to try the food as I had not eaten there before, however upon receiving the food I had ordered, I discovered that the chicken appeared old and extremely discoloured. Please see the attached images. I regret not going back to the restaurant to explain that this wasn't right. The rest of the order was very amatuerly cooked, lacked flavour and drenched in oil. Since consuming the food, I have not bern feeling well and currently have a very upset stomach. My girlfriend, who I also bought food for, has vomitted and has sufferered from food poisoning symptoms (such as nausea, headaches and chills) after eating the food from this restaurant. This whole ordeal has been terrible and disappointing as we wanted to give this restaurant a try. I am devastated to have to leave this negative review. We will not be returning again.

I come here for stew and bibimbap. They have a good selection of traditional home food dishes. Warm and attentive service.

Bimbimbap and Noodlesoups were very very good Have been going to several Koreans in New Malden for years, have been couple of times been to Korea as well. I think this one is definitely worth a visit

This was our first visit to a Korean restaurant. The service was lovely and the food was fantastic and very tasty.

Second visit with family, this time for lunch. Had Bibimbap and Seafood noodle. As starter we had rolled seaweed and kimchi pancakes. As last time food delicious and efficient service. Best to pay cash! Highly recommended.

We had friends and family visiting today and required a table 16 for dinner and were considering where to eat. Lots of choices in New Malden for Korean food but because we have so many kids with us, I suggested a more relaxed atmosphere and choose Haru. We were able to book the back room (the one with all the signatures all over the wall and you get to sit on the floor with low down tables). They re-arranged all the furniture for our group and made it that much special. Food is always great, flavoursome and authentic. We ordered a number of dishes so our friends could taste a number of flavours and everyone enjoyed the experience very much. They also accommodated for some dishes to be altered for those kids who have allergies. Only point was my taller friends found sitting on the floor a bit sore on the knees... albeit they maybe just getting older! Will always come back and recommend to our friends - keep up the great food/service!

It's like being in Korea. The food is very tasty and the staff is very friendly. We ordered dumplings, spring onion pancake, grilled chicken and bibimbap + 2 drinks, everything for £36. Very good value. I will definitely recommend it.

Went on a Saturday early evening for dinner. Not busy and was seated straightaway. Very accommodating even with baby and buggy and baby seat was provided. Attentive but not overbearing service. The place has a cafe style feel to it and we were made to feel at home. We were craving Ji Gae, which is like a soup/stew and weren't disappointed. Also tried the pancake, pork bulgogi which we were all very nice. Prices were also reasonable coming to around £100 for 6 adults including starters, mains and drinks. Great for a relaxed, inexpensive meal with friends and family.

Been here twice now in the last week, had dish 402 and 406, chicken and pork dishes with rice. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Will definitely go again!! Thank you to the lovely friendly staff too :-)

The place is really authentic. Food is simply delicious and really good value for money. If you have the chance, go to the special room and eat there.

nice restaurant with authentic Korean food. I am visit there regularly. Love the simplicity about the restaurant.

Ha Ru is one of my favourite restaurants in new Malden and why I even travel half an hour to get it. Been going there for a really long time and they rarely disappoint. Despite some menu changes they’re food is truly addictive, the staff are always friendly and the music is good too haha!Love this place would definitely recommend

Back couple of years ago, I visited to Haru, which was amazing and i really enjoyed it. But recently, I think there must be changes occured, as somehow it seems that a lot has changed. I dont seem to enjoy going there nowdays. May be it just me or may be I prefer other restaurants.

I called in for takeaway having seen special offer for Mother’s Day. On inquiring about the deal the rude lady that answered the phone asked if wanted free food. She claimed to be the manager first then claimed to be the owner. She sounded oriental she was rude And nasty. She eventually hung up my call after calling me a B___****. Unbelievable behaviour towards a customer.

A friend and I needed a quick warm meal yesterday due to all the cold and snow. Service was great; atmosphere friendly and relaxed. We had the spring onion pancake ( always a favourite of mine ) and both of us had spicy soups with rice. I had a tofu and egg soup and my friend had a kimchi and pork one. We were very satisfied and kept warm for the rest of the day. Prices were reasonable.

This is a really great restaurant with home cooked Korean style food. If you've ever been to Korea it's a bit like 김밥천국. The food my husband and I had was delicious and we would highly recommend this place.

We visited the restaurant with our two-year old daughter. The staff were very nice, and our daughter was given her own little plate and cutlery as well as a high chair.

Food is very good and great value. Often go here and we enjoy it everytime and w will go back again soon

The food is still good here but over the last year the quality seems to have dropped. The décor and atmosphere is a little bit stale. I have been eating here for the past 7 years at least 3-4 times a year and I have to say that this will be my last visit. Will be trying a new Korean restaurant in new Malden. So unfortunate.

It's not the most glitzy of the various Korean restaurant options in New Malden, but the simply styled Haru does the basics very well. The crispy fried chicken starter and the seafood pancake starter were both fine examples of what might be termed Korean comfort food. Mains come with accompanying small plates of kimchi, bean sprouts and potato salad. The spicy pork and rice main course was piquant without being overpowering. Service efficient. You get the sense of being in someone's front room. Meal for two with soft drinks was £36.00.

This place has seriously slumped since I once frequented at least once a week some time back. The dolsot in a hot bowl has at least half the content compared to competition (lets be honest there's plenty). The 5 or 6 flies hanging around were fairly off putting, as was the food stained wall. But to cap it off a request for 10% extra with a card payment. Pull the other one mate. I shall never return

Superb place, and really worth a visit. Staff are friendly, the portions are a good size. I recommend the japchae and the dolsot bibimbap. The japchae is certainly the best in New Malden.

Vale la pena una visita. El sabor y el ambiente se sentía como en casa. El personal era servicial y la habitación era adorable con otros mensajes de personas escrito en la pared. El precio también es barato comparado con otros lugares en Londres.

Este solía ser uno de los mejores restaurantes de estilo coreano casa en New Malden, pero en los últimos años sus ido cuesta abajo. El precio de los platos no sería un problema si eran de buena calidad, pero por desgracia no lo son. Los fideos son insulsos, las porciones son casi tamaño para niños. Es una lástima, ya que cuando fui por primera vez a Haru, hace como 9 años, la comida era genial y el propietario en el momento sabía que la gente.

Fuimos para una cena temprano el sábado. Los clientes de la habitación eran todos coreano cuando llegamos; nos lo tomamos como una buena señal.

De nuevo, las valoraciones tripadvisor agregó puertas nos han conducido mal. Es como su GPS le da la mejor ruta a casa pero es a través de un lago de fuego y azufre.

We came to Haru according to the trip advisor rate but I would say it's a little bit out of my expectations. The place is clean and staff is friendly but we had to wait for a while to get our food. The food is a bit too salty and overpriced.

Based on the reviews that we had read, we expected more. Portions rather small and hence a bit overpriced, taste ok but have had better Korean food in other restaurants in Haru's neighbourhood. Service was friendly.

Located in the middle of New Malden High street, easy to find. Parking on the street or nearby car park . Service was fast and very friendly. The menu had all items explained in English and pictures of the dishes as well.Cost was reasonable , and portion sizes generous. The taste was fantastic on most of the items we tried. The atmosphere was typical of a venue anywhere in Asia... lively , full of chatter and music. The dining rooms aren't large , but we were comfortable in the European style section. The more authentic Korean style tables at the rear were all filled on a Saturday night. Enjoyed our visit

This restaurant has two sections, a western style seating area at the front of the restaurant, then a traditional Korean seating arrangement in a back room, i.e. where you sit on the floor, which is a nice touch.The décor is a bit ‘make do and mend’, like a cheap café feel, although that isn’t reflected in the price of the food, which for what we actually got was most certainly overpriced.We ordered two Ginseng teas, expecting a pot of tea for two. What came was two disappointingly small glasses of slightly yellowish, almost tasteless water. Which for 6 quid, I thought I’d been mugged.When the food arrived the paucity of the beef in the portion felt like poverty; plus it was cold.In fact the dish consisted of white-hot rice (having no doubt just been blasted in the microwave) with a load of uninspiring cold stuff chucked on top.This place was personally recommended to us, and I am afraid to say it was a bit of a let-down.Having said that my Girlfriend had the Octopus which to be fair was very good. But overall with the sheer amount of Korean competition on the same street, this was distinctly average.

We came here for a bite to eat after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and I'm very happy to say that we loved everything we tried. We had the spicy chicken and rice; seafood pancake; and the spicy Kimchi and pork soup with rice. All three items were delicious, and the unexpected surprise was the 'rice punch' drink, that was so refreshing and not too sweet! The staff were fast and polite. All in all we had a good meal here and would hesitate to go back. Note they charge 10% if you want to pay by card.

Great Service and I recommend dongaseu. Best place to be in new malden. I come here often for lunch and I personally think that it is amazing.

Haru never fails to deliver. The restaurant is run by a lovely Korean and Japanese couple, the service and food are always exceptional. I would definitely recommend the kimchi pancake and soft tofu stew.

We have been visiting the same restaurant since 2004. The owners has been changed at least four times. I can't remember how many times they have changed the restaurant name. One thing for sure is the price, which is getting higher and quality is going down the hill with the current people. My husband is a vegetarian, there are not that many dishes in Korean restaurants in UK he can order ( don't want to generalise Korean cuisine, I am sure in Korean it's a different) kimchi pancake, kimchi fried rice, tofu stew, seaweed rice noodle fried roll etc. So we have tasted quite a lot of kimchi pancake in the same place with different owners over the last 10 years, I must say this is the first time we both agree it's disappointment. The pancake is thick, not crispy at all, the sauce is boring floating with a few tired spring onion. The side dishes comes together with the main meal ( are they afraid customers will ask for refill if it comes with starters?!) After the meal we both think the owner is trying save, and it comprises the tastes. I am sorry, we won't be going there again.

It is a small restaurant. We occasionally go to Haru for lunch. As always we enjoyed our meal. We had pork and chicken katsu last time and they were delicious! Side dishes were provided for free, Great value. Highly recommended.

Small restaurant, nothing fancy but if you're after good Korean food, this is the place to go! We live in central London but actually make the trip out to New Malden (20km walk!) for this! Also, the seafood pancake is probably the best we've had in London so far!

여행자라면 여행중 훌륭한 한끼 식사를 할수 있다. 한국인 입맛에 맞는 . 기타 국가의 여행자라면 다른 사람의 리뷰를 참고하세요

A lovely, unpretentious restaurant serving up good quality Korean food. I particularly enjoy the spicy squid. the décor is quite basic but don't be put off, the food is lovely.

I read that Korean food in New Malden is better than what you normally get in the West End. I kind of accepted that to be true, since so many Koreans live here, that expectations and standards have to be met. I came here with family on a Sunday for lunch. Not knowing what to expect. The menu was pretty good and has everything you would expect. We ordered a few dishes and I really liked the pumpkin pancakes and the spicy rice cakes. I really liked the teriyaki grilled eel with rice. The food was really good and good size portions. I came out pretty full. Price wise it was pretty good value. But I'm not a fan of having to pay extra for paying by card. I would have rated higher if it wasn't for that.

Superb little restaurant on the high st, Try the Pajeon, a spring onion and seafood pancake and the signature Bibimbam which is very good.Bring your own wine..

Recently visited and having been here a few times I believe there are new owners of the restaurant now. The decor has changed slightly and new members of staff/management. On this occasion I ate the Spicy Tofu Stew which was tasty, along with other side dishes such as Prawn Tempura - but they no longer serve Kimbap which is disappointing as it was a great staple on the menu. Overall I do enjoy the food when visiting and will just have to go elsewhere to experience the Kimbap.

Great selection of authentic Korean food. I especially enjoyed the Budae-jjigae (army stew) , spicy hot pot with kimchi and spam. There's a room at the back where you can sit on the floor in the traditional Korean way, and write stuff on the wall with a marker.

Love this place. Cosy and great dishes. Always popular with local families at weekends and local office workers during the week. The stone bowl bibimbap is a great place to start - ask and they'll do it without meat if you're vegetarian. The starters are excellent. The seafood pancake and the rice sticks are our favourites.

Never eaten Korean before but this was an adventure. We tested the water by ordering foods with content that we both recognised and liked but never tried the Korean cooking style before. First thing that hits you is the quality ; all the ingredients were top class - second thing is the taste - unlike Japanese food which can be marmite, everything was tasty, interesting and Worth trying. Not cheap but good value. Staff were friendly, helpful and always a good thing when local Koreans eat there.

The food was nice n the lady is very helpful she let me try the drink b4 i order it, she very kind n friendly! Will be back if i visit my friend again! Do recommend it !

This is a lovely little casual bistro. Very small and intimate with friendly staff. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. Highly recommended.

Just as good as usual. The complimentary starters are the best I have had in Korean restaurant. Absolutely my favourite in London.

Good atmosphere, very friendly and polite service unfortunately the food is average and very overpriced.150 ml cup of green tea (served with tea bag inside) £2.50 It would be nice to get a pot instead.6-7small dumplings (frozen pack bought in next door Korean food shop for £3), not even cooked properly cost £7!Fried beef had more onions than any other veg.A bit disappointed .

We went in January on a particularly cold night when there were very few people around, so it was only us and two other couples. It could probably have done with a bit of music or something in the background and it was slightly awkward when in an almost empty restaurant a couple sat right next to us! The service was friendly and welcoming.The food was delicious. My partner and I even ended up taking leftovers home with us. The menu was in Korean with english translations, so I might ask the server if you're allergic to any ingredients as not everything is listed on the menu.Would definitely recommend though and looking forward to going back.

We went there for lunch today( Saturday ). Haru wasn't too crowded and meal came quick. We ordered bibimbap and japjae both were really yum! Make sure you will have some money with you, you will have to pay extra 10% if you wanna pay by card.

Loved the meal here. Great food and friendly service. Giving four stars not five as its very much a cafe rather than a restaurant (and no alcohol served) and we were squeezed in right by the door which was freezing cold (despite booking) plus also 10% added to bill to pay by card which I thought was a bit steep!! So take cash if you're visiting. But all said I would definitely go back as the food is what counts! So definitely go and try it out :-)

Food was good but not particularly exceptional, price was bit expensive for lunchtime (no lunchtime menu or specials, or they aren't advertised at all).No issues or praises for service. Toilet is small and quite literally requires walking out into the alley for an outhouse shed toilet with drafty door (feels like Hong Kong, and not in a good way).

With the high scores on Trip Advisor, my GF and I had expected really good Korean food at Haru. We live near New Malden and having checked out 3 other Korean restaurants and finding them exceptional, had expected something similar here. The décor itself was modest but that didn't factor into our review. We ordered seafood pancakes, a squid dish soaked in spicy sauce, and lastly a slightly fried chicken dish. The pancakes should have been the first warning - very little in terms of seafood. What was there were tiny - and I mean TINY - mussels or squid (size of ladybird beetles). Calling these seafood pancakes should be considered misleading.The squid and chicken dishes were drenched in a viscous sauce that had an unpleasant consistency and taste. We were only able to manage a few pieces between us.It is possible we ordered the wrong dishes but on the result of the pancakes - a standard for Korean restaurants - I don't hold much hope for other dishes.For the price of the dishes, we had expected more.

Haru would never fail you whenever you are looking for typical , healthy Korean food. We live in Wimbledon and have been going to Haru for lunch / dinner for years, and never tired of the food there. We always have the same type of food when we visit, Yukgaejang and seafood pancake and Bibibamp are "must have". The portion is large with very reasonable price. staff are all friendly with good service and place is just as cozy as home.

We have been to haru for years and it never fails to hit us spot on with their fabulous food.Always a winner.Will keep coming bk for more.Oppa fiting!!

Fabulous food,always a winner 24/7.we have been going to Haru for years.Very friendly staff and excellent taste.The kimchi pancakes are amazing.

I went to Haru Restaurant alone on a Thursday afternoon (around 1pm). First thing I notice was the tables on the left of the service area. Its a long bench table facing the wall. Unlike most of other restaurants, I feel really comfortable seating alone by the side. Location of the restaurant is also perfect for people getting off from New Malden train station. Friendly staff, good environment, and good food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We went there for lunch on the basis of it being so highly rated. Having never eaten Korean food we weren't sure what to expect, but it was delicious and, given that everyone else in there was Korean, probably very authentic! The sauces were quite light and more akin to Japanese than Chinese food. We had deep fried prawns and seaweed as a starter - the seaweed came in the form of those square leaves you get in packets - and these came with other small dishes: boiled potato in a spicy sauce, Chinese leaf in a spicy sauce and one other that I've forgotten but we finished so it must have been nice! Had the grilled eel in teriyaki sauce served on a bed of sesame beansprouts and a silken tofu / egg / squid stew as mains, with plain rice. The portions were generous and the flavours fantastic. The restaurant also sells hair elastics - nice touch! I've only given it 4 stars because the décor and vibe are a little rough and ready and the toilet is outside, but overall, very good.

I've always had their wifi stored on my old phone, new phone. Waitress says No wifi. Oh really. Portion size halved and price up. Maybe the channel 4 news presenter to my left cursed me. However Kim's a nice bloke. And I was probably at one stage their most regular customer so all aside its good.

I've popped into this small restaurant for lunch on about 20 occasions in the last two years....and only once was I disappointed. That was when they forgot my order and I stormed out in a huff after 45 minutes! But, enough of that, this place is a little gem. Superb food served with generous fresh portions of gim-che. Salmon teriyaki is highly recommended. Served with (free) brown rice tea. Sometimes you can't find a seat in rush-hour...but the place is small after all. Average price for lunch that I've paid over two years: £7.50. At the time of writing, it is closed at lunchtime - due to "kitchen refurbishment". It has taken a suspiciously long time so I hope all is well...

Food were delicious and reasonably priced in comparison to the few other Korean restaurants in the neighbourhood, although the prices have been creeping up over the past two years.

Table for 3 on a Tuesday night - glad I pre-booked as it was already packed.Had a mix of items including the excellent seafood hotpot (haemul jeongol), stone pot rice (bibimbap), kimchi mackerel stew, rice sticks etc. Friendly service and the manager even ran to another restaurant to get some rice punch as they had run out.

Very friendly small eaterie ofering a wide range of authentic Korean dishes the seafood noodles are great as is the stir fried pork. Kimchi is served as a complimentary side as is the

I am no expert of Korean food but this place satisfied our wish to know this type of cuisine.We ordered the hot pot, bbqed pork belly, and fried mixed veggie and prawn (similar to tempura), and it was all nice.Service was very good, the place is tiny so we had to wait outside for a suitable table to become available.If you pay by card it is 10%more, this is not very nice.Also the toilet in the back on the outside is a bit inconvenient, but it was clean.The front room has a few tables with chairs, the back is a traditional portion of the restaurant where you eat on the floor sitting on cushions.I would go back to try different dishes.

Service is terrible and I had to wait for 1 hour to get my food. And there was no apology. One of the worst experience in a restaurant.

Its was my first time i went to korean restaurant. As i am vegetarian i thought i wont have any option but i was wrong. They do have veggie option plus the waiter was happy to remove some non veg ingredients fr me. My friends were happy with the food the order. They like the taste of the food. Nice place to visit. You have option to sit in a room with low table as well which is preety fun to experience

Very relaxing atmosphere, with traditional seating area in the back. Well prepared authentic Korean food is the standard whenever I have been here. The restauranteur is a congenial host, chatting with the diners helping serve and generally keeping the atmosphere friendly and relaxed.

I think this is the best Korean restaurant in this area. It always serves the best food. It always meets or exceeds my expectation. I highly recommends this place. It is family friendly.

My dad and me went to new malden today JUST for the cold noodle in Haru, but we didnt know that it is closed on monday! So we went for another korean resturant, but the food in Haru is so much better! I will definitely go back there (not on a monday) and have a bowl of cold noodle, is the best cold noodle ever!

First time in the this restaurant and I have to say that the food is simple, fresh and very tasty. We had some very traditional foods like the pancake, bibimbab, tofu & seafood hot pot with some very tasty bong bong drink. We loved it! The food was cheap and the service was very good indeed. We will definitely go back

First of all compared to the size of portion the food is too expensive. You can get much more tastier food for a cheaper price at the watchman for example. There are even better korean restaurants that give more generous portions for a cheaper price such as jjisinae in burlington road towards b&q which unfortunately isn't on here.Second the food through delivery is atrocious.The noodles were all spread out and cold by the time it arrived; the food took way over an hour to arrive and yet the delivery guy failed to apologise because they didn't give any update on the situation.The tuna kimbab had hardly any tuna in it, actually the minimal. Dont go back here

Having eaten there twice recently I can thoroughly recommend this Korean restaurant as providing an excellent friendly service and quality "authentic" dishes with simple 'ban jan' accompaniments. I will return!

Haru isn't a fast food restaurant - but food is served up pretty quickly.Haru isn't fine dining - but the food looks, smells and tastes incredible.Haru isn't expensive - but you are paying for fresh and authentic ingredients.Haru doesn't have a great wine menu - but the house wine isn't bad.I went to Haru for a night out with my partner in either Late-January or Early-February. I worked in New Malden for a while and knew that it had a great reputation for Asian food - in particular Korean cuisine so used TripAdvisor to help me pick a place to eat. This was the top choice - and is still top while I'm writing this.I'm planning on going back soon and realised I hadn't reviewed last time, so this is why it is a later review.Being top choice on here I assumed it was going to be very busy and unlikely to get a table unless I booked in advance. So I called up that day and booked in for around 8pm.When we arrived the front of the restaurant was very busy, but there was a free table we were offered. It looked a lot like a cafe - I was hoping for something a little more intimate though. I'd seen that there were some "floor tables" also and asked if any were available - hoping for a more authentic experience.These tables were in the back section - 4 or 5 low lying tables with cushioned seats on the floor - and only 2 tables were being used. We were asked to remove our shoes in this section - makes sense if everyone is sitting on the floor. This back room on first look seems like a cross between a store room and a public toilet (not because it was dirty or smelly, quite the opposite) because of all the bad graffiti daubed on the walls. It had underfloor heating too. If you like a fancy restaurant - you might want to look elsewhere.So we ordered a lot of food as everything was pretty reasonably priced, a few starters to share etc and then a main dish each.I can't remember the name of the dish (possibly the Haemul Jeongol) I chose as my main, but I made a bit of an error as I picked one of the seafood soup/broths that could easily feed 4 people - it came with a whole crab and squid chopped up. I should've looked at the price.Thing is, even with this error, the total bill came to less than £50 for 2 of us and we had at least 3 beers and 3 glasses of wine in that.The food was simply incredible. Fresh ingredients and made beautifully.Add to that the guy in charge - he couldn't do enough for us. The other staff not quite as friendly, but I think that was more language based than rudeness.All in all, would I go back? Well yes, I'll be there next week.

I visited this restaurant after reading the many positive reviews on TA and after having eaten at many of the other Korean restaurants in New Malden.The restaurant is quite small with a few western style tables at the front and a room with low tables where you sit on cushions at the rear. The food was good we ordered mainly dishes that we order regularly in other Korean restaurants so we could make a fair comparison. One of the best dishes we ordered was the soft tofu stew. The service was good and the staff were friendly. The prices were very reasonable a good meal for 3 cost us less than £30, note there is a charge to use a credit card so it's best to take cash.

One of the Best Korean restaurants in New Malden. Came here by accident after our regular restaurant was closed. this has now become our regular. Staff are warm and welcoming and the food is great. I recommend the chicken gizzards as a starter, truly fantastic. portions are generous and always consistent. Just a great place overall!!

Really cute place with fab food, great service and very good prices. More casual and cafe like than some of the New Malden Korean restaurants so feels a lot less formal. Highly recommended!

I love this restaurant, service is fantastic atmosphere is so relaxed. I used to live in Korea and this is the most authentic korean i have had since coming back.

The best Korean restaurant I have ever been to.. Excellent service and everything we ordered was very delicious and good value. Friendly and welcoming environment. The staffs are all helpful and nice. Will visit soon with friends. :)

very good service and delicious food.. owner of the resturant was friendly .. will definately visit again...

This was our first visit to New Malden. We really craved Korean food so went to this restaurant as it was named as the top Korean restaurant in New Malden on Tripadvisor. One of those cases where Tripadvisor is not always right. Food was so so - 3 out of 5. Gimpab was bland and daktoritang missing the flavour and very oily. But most annoyingly we had to wait for 45min and ask, before we could be served, even though people who arrived after us ate and were already leaving! Gimpab was brought with no sauces or small plate dishes. We had to ask for water top up. We were told that those who had reservations were served as a priority. Not sure if this was a one off hiccup, or whether locals/ regulars get preferential treatment, but we are not coming back.

I visited here with my partner and we absolutely loved it. Staff are really lovely and the food is incredibly, really good value. This place is a little gem, thoroughly recommend!

Passing by to visit a friend we craved delicious Korean food, but with no time to sit down we grabbed some Kimbap to go. Service was quick and we even got free hot green tea while we waited. Kimbap was perfectly presented in take out boxes to protect it. The tuna kimbap is my favourite, all the flavours are well balanced. My husband's favorite is the haru kimbap. They are a very good size for the money.I wished we had bought more as everyone enjoyed it at our friends house!

From a 5 star rated restaurant, I would have expected excellence. The service is lovely and very helpful but the food is disappoting. Food was very oily (deep fried and not dried) and the rice was absolutly tasteless. I will not be coming back.

Have been to many Korean restaurants in New Malden and this my favourite which I have visited many times.This time, we went on a Sunday evening and it was packed with customers including families. The decor is minimalist but the food is excellent value for money. Meals always start with complimentary side dishes of kimchi, beansprouts and picked veg. My favourites courses are the seafood pancake and bibimbap. The service is very friendly and the smiling owner always comes to the rescue if the waitress doesn't understand Eglish very well.There are some Korean style rooms in the back too. If you haven't had Korean food recently, give it a go in this welcoming restaurant!

The food was absolutely amazing, the overall atmosphere was lovely and cosy, it felt just like home. Also, the service was extremely good and friendly! I will definitely go again!!!

Visited Haru on Tuesday night after work wanting something good, quick and delicious. Haru didn't disappoint! We had a beautiful tempura starter followed by fried chicken udon and a bibimbap. Everything tasted great. Only two points you might find as negatives 1, There's a 10% charge for paying with card (there's a cash point up the road) 2, The chopsticks are metal and, even though I've had a reasonable amount of practice, I found them to be slipperier than the noodles I was trying to pick up! Would we return? Absolutely.

We ate here last week (4 adults and one baby).Food was great and good value for money. We ordered 3 starters and 4 main dishes to share. Some of the dishes came with an assortment of rice, vegetable side dishes and soup depending on what you ordered. Food including soft drinks came to a total of around £60! Very good considering the food was tasty and our bellies were full! We sat in the back room where you sit on low tables on the floor. It was great for the baby who hates being stuck in a high chair!The place was clean and cosy. It felt like you were eating in someone's house! Service was friendly and efficient. The waiter was very helpful in reccomending dishes.We will be back again very soon!Don't forget to take your shoes off if you are dining in the back room.

The Haru in New Malden was a pleasant night out with my sister and my wife.Not only did I enjoy the friendly service and the even friendlier owner(that I had a good laugh with)but morever did I enjoy the food which was the main purpose of our visit.I consider my self as a food lover and the korean cuisin is one of my favorites and I have to admit that Haru is one of the best korean food I had.If there is something I would like to suggest than it would be the korean fried pancake with veg and kimchi which topped every other korean experience that I had.The rest of the food that I had at that night such as the beef bimbimbab and the dobuki were very good as well.Overall a good experience and pricewise cheaper than most of the korean restaurants in London which is another bonus I would like to add.

Delicious food! Serving everything Korean at such good prices!!! Oppa is the perfect host!!!!! We have come here for years and will continue as frequently as we can!!!!!

We all have repetitive behavior. We like to go to somewhere we have sense of belonging, feel familiar, when you know they are good they are always good. There are many restaurants along New Malden High Street, but what make you go to that particular one? If Regency Cafe in SW1 is about British then Haru is definitely Korean. You can find a lots of Korean there is a good sign. The restaurant is simple. Walk in. Sit down and Order. You are paying is £7.5 for Traditional Bimbimbap (Hot rice, beef, egg, veg, service in stone bowl) serve with miso soup. You meal will come with complimentary hot tea and side dishes like bean spout and Kimchi. 5 mins you table is full on..What else? The staffs are attentive, and the owner says hello and goodbye to everyone, no matter how busy he is. You are King. With the winning formula in their dishes, keen service, simple, authentic and value for money. Full of joy you can imagine. If you have kids? Bring them in and try the tatami seats inside, you can also get your kids to draw on their wall. How wonderful! How many restaurants would allow you children to draw on their wall? You need to be quick thought as there is not many space left on the wall. LOL.

This restaurant is definitely the best Korean food I have had in UK. Hope they will open one in London soon. Authentic dishes, friendly service, made me feel like home.
