We had a super evening at Imone. Initially surprised that our table wasn’t in the restaurant on the street, and had to duck down the alleyway alongside at the side of the restaurant however this turned out to be really good and made it an even more authentic experience. The service was good and the food was excellent, we enjoyed it all and the Cass beers too. We’ll definitely come back for more soon!

Delicious food at decent prices, banchan comes included (as it should be but lots of other restaurants in London charge for them), but at least on the weekends this is definitely a place where you get in, eat fast, get out. One feels quite rushed to order everything right away rather than being able to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. It would be nice if they expand their space in the future to have a more relaxing dinner experience.

Genuinely, I don’t understand how this place is only 4.5 stars??? Like this is hands down the best Korean restaurant I’ve been to in London and it’s really beaten all the other places i’ve been to by a mile Only downside if that it’s a little small but I feel like that contributes to the vibe of being so cozy and homey. Will definitely come back again!!

I’ve been here so many times since I moved into New Malden and have tried almost everything on the menu and not one item has been disappointing. My favourite is definitely the saengsomjjim and pajeon. *chefs kiss* best combo. The bossam is also highly recommended. The oyster kimchi with the pork wrapped together… I could eat this all day. Service is amazing. The staff are all attentive and friendly and the owner (with the black hair) is super lovely. My favourite Korean restaurant in New Malden ❤️

Hello.. I am (Kim Dan-bi), a staff member with short hair and rose pink color, who is currently working at my aunt's restaurant.. I believe there are many customers who came to our restaurant and saw me in person.. Our restaurant is a good place to visit. If you want to see it, the store doesn't have many tables. For your information, from Monday to Friday, we prioritize customers based on their reservation times, and because there are many reservations during that time, there is a limit to tables, so sometimes customers wait outside. Our staff will do their best to help you eat and leave as best as possible. However, some customers are busy with our staff in the front and back rooms, so communication between the two rooms is not good, so they do not prioritize reservations. There are times when we give tables to customers who are waiting outside for empty tables without seeing them. Everyone makes mistakes. Just as robots sometimes malfunction, everyone makes mistakes while working, and it shouldn't be enough... However, since we are a good restaurant, each and every customer who comes to our restaurant is important, so I and the staff do their best to avoid sending people away. If you complain about the food in the review, we will make changes as well. Also, our staff's service has not been excessive to the customers, and I think it is rude to post an exaggerated review here. Because of the review comments, people become timid, intimidated, and the problem of life and death is that even famous stars are affected by stardom. Isn't this a world that appears in reality? Anyone is free to visit and leave comments on reviews, but even though we worked hard all day, sometimes at the end of the day, we feel good to see these customers smile and say they were happy today. I lose.. But I've been working at this store for 6 years, and I've never hated a customer so much that I didn't want to work or behaved so badly out of frustration.. Of course, I don't speak English. It's not enough... Sometimes, for customers who don't understand me well, if I'm Chinese, I'll give them a menu in Chinese, but if not, I'll have to think about English again, so my intonation may not be good. We ask for your understanding. We make a lot of effort to seat customers waiting outside on weekends as quickly as possible while making eye contact with them. The reason I am posting this is because I am a manager who has been working hand in hand with the staff at this store for the past 6 years. As every customer who visits us is precious and important, sometimes the reviews that were posted a few days ago were too disguised as humanity. I am posting this after thinking about it for several days... I am posting this as if I were someone who owed him a debt and treated him rudely and discriminated against me. That's absolutely not the case... I'm not the owner of this store, and there's no reason to owe me anything, but I'm just doing my best to do my job regardless of whether the boss is there or not... Of course, the store is very small, but it's famous for being busy. It turns out that even our staff have limitations when it comes to their work. There are many customers who come to our store from far away without even being able to express it, even though it is difficult at times. Because we love and like them, we focus on working hard every day. We all eat together. When you leave the store with a smile and say that it was so good, the looks on their faces give us strength and pride as a staff member. I'm sorry for posting such a long post, and I'd be happy to apologize to any customers who came to our store and were unhappy. I must have asked for your understanding several times. But I don't think I have acted too much as a human being. If there are people who came to receive valuable service and were disappointed because of me, I ask for your understanding once again and apologize once again. ..From now on, we would like to tell you that we are a staff that will do our best to prepare the service for those who come to eat our food... I don't know if you will understand the long text, but I am very grateful to those who read it and trust that you will understand. And thank you again...

Not good anymore. My experience at Imone this time was shockingly disappointing. A lady with a short haircut was incredibly rude and acted as if we had inconvenienced her greatly. It felt as though we owed her thousands of pounds just for showing up. I really want to tell this lady that we are customers, not beggers. Also There's so many Korean restaurants, which are much better than yours. I will definitely not go back to IMONE!

One of the best Korean food spot in London. We've been to quite a few over the years but the food here was up there with the best. We had the Ssaengsun Jjim Set which included Ssaeungsun Jjim (steamed fish in spicy sauce) + Pa Jeon (spring onion pancake) + Mild soybean Soup + Rice for 2 which was one of the highlights of the meal. The steamed fish was just awesome. We also enjoyed the pancake and had some LA style Galbi which was just amazing. The staff were super attentive and would definitely recommend this spot when you're in New Malden. If you fancy some Korean BBQ, the same brand have just opened one next door.

I tried this spot after recommendation from my partner that it had good recommendation. First glance, it was busy compare to many other Korean restaurants. Also first experience, of walking back into a alleyway which lead us to like a make shift temporary building (also shared with a Church club or something) Anyways aside about that, the food, the korean chicken wings were cripsy nice glaze on top of the skin, flavourful so can't go wrong. Sweet n sour pork also can't go wrong but it was more on the sour side which tends to the case. Cold style Bibimbap perfect for the one day of hot weather in the UK. The beef soup wasn't really packing any home warming flavours, was just spicy and lacking.. based on others must try (which we didn't get). Seafood Pancake and the Ginseng Chicken. Staff were friendly. Price about £55 for two, can't remember if there was service charge or not I'd say its standard nowadays but i was pretty well fed/full afterwards. NO AMEX.

This little Korean place did not disappoint. It was recommended to me by a Korean housemate. Dishes ran about 13.50 for a main meal. The waitress was knowledgeable and had good recommendations. I had the beef bulgogi with rice. My friend had the Don Katsu which she said was amazing. It was enough to fill you, was presented nicely and reasonably priced. I’d recommend this place. It’s tiny and no toilet however.

After hearing the rumor, I visited my aunt's restaurant yesterday. Well... it's absurd and I don't know why there are cases like this. I don't understand... I placed my order for the table next to me. After a while, I placed my order and the table next to me took their order. Why are we saying we can't do this? Of course, when the ingredients run out, I may not be able to receive your order, so I understand. But 15 minutes later, another hand felt the same way. What is the reason for ordering from a menu and having food come out? Even if you don't have any ingredients, you can prepare them in just 10 minutes. This is something no one can understand. And what kind of war is being fought in the kitchen? I heard everything breaking and felt anxious. I couldn't eat. There were customers and they even started swearing. This is my first time experiencing a restaurant like this. They do things like this in front of customers... I get the feeling that the boss doesn't care how his employees are treated... I think the boss needs to change his mindset. There is a saying about losing a cow and fixing the barn. If you regret losing all your precious employees and customers, I thought it was already too late. Let me say one more thing. People go to my aunt’s restaurant because the food is delicious. No, the staff is more helpful to customers than other restaurants. We serve our customers kindly and always with a smile. I'm going to my aunt's restaurant. All restaurant food is no different The owner said the food was delicious and customers were visiting. Don't get me wrong, is it the chef or the owner? If you act like that, no matter how much your employees Even if you are nice to the customers, it’s because of the boss. All the guests left Change your thinking mindset Never swear when there are guests... I will never go to my aunt’s restaurant again. If someone says they are going, go to another restaurant. Let me tell you... I've never had a restaurant like this before! That's a disaster...

Food was subpar, not as good as a lot of other places I’ve been to. My Korean wife got the Biji Jigae, which wasn’t good. The texture was wrong and didn’t taste good. The Bossam had bits of bone in the belly slices, which wasn’t pleasant, and the condiments weren’t good either. We were also put in the back room which is very stuffy (they cram as many people in there as they can) and it feels like they are focused just about making money and not about the customers. The owner (who also seems to be head chef) is rude! She says service charge is compulsory and makes her staff check with her before they can remove it (guessing she keeps it for herself otherwise why would she be so bothered about it!). She then said I had to pay it and I reminded her we don’t usually pay tip here in the UK and service charge is voluntary. (I usually pay tip but didn’t want to after she was being rude to me). I’d recommend going to Treestone or Mr Kimchee instead as food is much better!

Everything is too sweet and not authentic Korean taste which was very disappointing. The fish was too sweet even the kimchi, dwenjang soup and Sauce for the fish tastes sweet. Even in the kimchi I could taste sugar! I could not finish my meal. The taste is not traditional but tastes cheap- as if they used the same sauce for tteokkbokki in the fish rather than making it the fish authentic. I could taste they added flour to thicken the sauce for fish. I will not be visiting again.I miss the food of when the previous owner of Hanjibak was in charge.

The hype online got something right, the food is pretty good and reasonably sized portions. The server jeevan was very friendly and helpful. What brings the score down is price, on deliveroo everything is around £2 cheaper and is definitely more reasonable, the sit in prices whilst not extreme are definitely high for what you're getting. On another note, there was definitely a vibe there that wasn't super friendly from other staff members, maybe because I'm not a Korean or maybe because I was with someone in a hijab, but vibes were felt.

This restaurant treats individual customers differently. I came here with friends before and thought the food tasted good, but this time when I went alone, the staff told me that solo customers were not allowed to dine in the restaurant on weekends. I asked for takeout but was rejected. The staff was very nice but could not give a reasonable answer and just kept refusing. I checked Googlemap again and again and there was no indication that single people could not dine in on weekends. I came here specially and wasted a lot of time and energy. It was super disappointing. I don't recommend it.❌

Imone was recommended to me as a really high quality Korean restaurant amongst a high street full of the best Korean restaurants. I’m pleased to say that my expectations were certainly met and I can confidently say that this is one to keep your eye on. With an extensive menu you’re really spoilt for choice and you’ll find yourself having more than you can manage. Not that it’s a bad thing but it is a fair warning that the portion sizes are reasonable large. The authenticity matched with fresh ingredients were immaculate to say the least. My only gripe was that the stewed dishes weren’t quite as described. One of them was a seafood stew however, all there was in the bowl were a small handful of prawns and mussels. Additionally, the pork stew had the smallest amount of pork you can imagine which I found to be disappointing. Overall, I really do recommend this restaurant especially their lunch time specials from 12pm - 3pm. They are really generous with the amount of food on offer for these specials and it’s totally worth it.

We came here one Friday night after my son made a reservation. It is only a small place but extremely busy and seemed popular with the locals. We were guided through the menu by the proprietor who made some suggestions. Everything tasted delicious. My favourite dish was the beef Bulgogi absolutely scrumptious. The beer and plum wine went down too.

Really friendly service and food was delicious and served very smoothly. Quite small - the menu has gone up in price but still reasonable! Very authentic Korean food

We had a traditional Korean dinner here last night. My husband and I had sweet and sour spicy chicken, spicy squid, and kimchi stone pot fried rice. My son had the seafood fried udon. The restaurant gave us 3 small plates of cold dishes. All the food is yummy fabulous, and the spiciness is moderate allowing you to enjoy the taste. The boss and staffs are very nice, smiling, and greet you thoughtfully. We really loving it and had a great time meal here! 정말 감사합니다 사장님❤️ We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends!

This is clearly a favourite place amongst Korean folk because it was busy. When we go there, a couple was leaving their table so we assumed that they’d accommodate us there but we were directed to a back room which has extra seating. The room isn’t in the same building as the restaurant but one in another building at the back, accessible by an alley way on the side of the restaurant. The food was decent. We did not expect most of the dishes to have sugar but both the beef bulgogi and the bokum were sweet and savoury. Easy favourite was the pa jeon. Definitely worth a try.

The space was so small that the three of us were seated for two when there was room for four, leaving my friend sitting on the aisle. The food was not authentic at all. It was salty.

The server recommended us a few things and they were so scrumptious. Some highlights for me are: - Bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice) - Pajeon (seafood crispy pancake) —> best I’ve eaten in my life - L.A Kalbi (BBQ short ribs) - Bossam (steamed pork belly with white kimchi) Will go back for sure.

Absolute delish! The food was *extremely* flavourful, The prices of the main dishes were from a range of £10 - £20, which, in my opinion, is totally worth it. Service was phenomenal (quite more than expected), as you can expect from a high-end Korean restaurant. They provided a wide range of K-Pop, and they actually gave their best attitude towards their customers. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😋😋😋

Sorry maybe this is just not the right day for them. Kitchen messed up and our order took way longer with other tables being served first. Not pleased but hoping food could be good. Nope. I grew up in Asia and had been there for 30 years of my life. This is not good. 1. Bibimbap (not pictured) was tasteless with tiny little bit of minced beef!? 2. The chilli paste soup was very small, beef was very tough and tiny bits again. Vegetables are all diced into small bits. I felt like I was having the soup when sick!? Nope, that is not they do it in Korea. 3. The kimchi pancake is so oily, not cripsy on the edges and not soft on the inside. I was actually very angry walking out of this restaurant, and still annoyed and it felt like a massacre of one of my favourite cuisines from hometown. And no, it wasn't the wait. It is a consensus of the table. We knew of this place from Timeout's fav restaurants in London. Gosh, do better. Timeout.

A Korean foodie delight. Cosy setting with tasty food and quick service. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Small starter dishes included and there is an additional room for seating out back and the toilet is a short walk!

We got robbed in bright day light here! We ordered kimchi pork and kimchi seafood. Kimchi pork had micro cutlets of bacon. Kimchi seafood had no seafood instead they place dried canned preserved seafood. Came here because of the hype from google reviews but totally disappointed. I can understand cost cuttings but paying £12 for a person lunch and I got a vegan equivalent food.

Food was quite tasty, really good pancake, nicely cooked fish, excellent service. But it was not good value. Pork kimchi soup had very little pork, maybe two or three very small pieces, and fish was one fillet of deep fried mackerel for £12. Delicious but so little for so Much.

The dishes are excellent and never disappoint. I always visit at dinner time after doing my shopping at H-Mart. The waiters are very friendly and attentive and the food is delicious (absolutely anything on the menu). My personal favourite are the seafood pancake and tofu jiggae which I highly recommend. In case you are driving, there is a super cheap car park 2 mins walk away. The place does tend to be full most of the time and customers have to queue outside. I would recommend the owner to look into expanding their premises to accommodate more customers. If they do, I might even come both lunch and dinner times 🤭

Unplanned visit as was in area and wanted an early lunch - and found this little Korean food gem. Very friendly lady explaining the menu and the traditional Korean beef rice bowl was very tasty. Don't forget to pick the hot pot option! Recommended.

I tried giving them my business but they say me down and proceeded to ignore me, a big table came in and they took their order, so I left.

We had an amazing time here. The food was outstanding, neatly presented and the service was on form! I last went to Giggling Squid about 5 years ago in a different branch and it's great to see that the high quality is consistent. Thanks again 😁
