Jin Go Gae in Merton

The food at the restaurant is very tasty and contrary to some other reviews we get along well with the staff when we eat at the restaurant and think that the service is fine. The food has been a bit too oily at times but this time it was okay and tasted great, including the bbq at the table. The meat (pork) can be a bit too fatty but this is pretty standard across Korean restaurants. Prices have become very high and at this visit there were some extra charges added to our bill unexpectedly, which we only realised later but suspect these relate to the additional sides which are usually complimentary at other Korean restaurants. The restaurant is very popular, especially weekends, so best to call and book ahead.

Authentic Korean food. Delicious and fast service from ordering to dishes served at our table. Attentive staff too despite a busy night with almost full house diners. Recommend to book in advance.

Some friends made a booking here because they wanted to take me out. It was a novel place. There are bbq “pits” within the table and they bring the charcoal and grill element (clean each time you cook something new) to your table if you decide on the bbq option. We did. It was novel. The pork, however was too fatty for me and very tough. The beef and chicken were delicious. We also had vegetables to grill. My friends ordered starters and rice and encouraged me to do the same. The food all came at different times, which was a bit annoying but it was alright. You just need to be prepared to eat it when it’s hot. When the bill came, it was £210 and my friends said we would split it three ways, which surprised me. So I was stuck with a £70 bill I wasn’t anticipating. (Not the restaurants fault at all) This seemed a lot for the amount of food I ate. The experience was novel, however. Upon leaving the restaurant, however, I realised I didn’t even get the starter that I had ordered. So I can’t say the wait staff were attentive to detail. The place was incredibly busy all night however, so it must be popular, but I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Went there on a Thursday evening with 3 friends. The restaurant was fairly busy. Ordered a selection of different starters and the Korean BBQ as main. Every single dish was top quality and super tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their recommendation for side dishes were spot on. 100% go back.

Pop in with a friend early Friday evening, already busy, but they found a table for us. Plenty of attentive servicem, especially around the cooking of the BBQ. Enjoiyable first attempt

I have been so many Korean restaurants but best kimch I ate in this restaurant price bit high for me that ok but waiter are very rude service is really bad and communication zero

Came here for my son at his request. We had bibimbap, 2 beef dishes, squid, wild mushrooms and some incredible fried chicken. Cooking on the griddle was fun and all of the pickles and side dishes were delicious. No drinks really, and all came to £120. It was expensive but delicious and a real treat. Staff were helpful and attentive. Only minor negative would be that they probably cooked things a touch quickly for us but that may be down to the coals cooling down if we waited too long.

Way to expensive for a place in the outskirts of London. I was coming back from a trip and decided to stop in the famous Korean area in New Malden to try one of the restaurants. Honestly, for way less you eat as much in downtown London.

Ordered a takeaway. Upon opening the box, I found 6 tiny chicken drumsticks (really small). Cost £9. Really? Better to go to the fried chicken shop a few doors down. I know food inflation is bad but please don't treat us like fools.

Fantastic meal great night out excellent value super staff. We really enjoyed ourselves yes would recommend to all. We are white English and we're very welcome. Many Korean restaurants in New Malden this is the best

You can enjoy barbequing different marinated stuff on your own table and wrapping it in various vegetables. Everything comes with lots of delicious pickles and salads, but Korean domestic beer is not something especial or fantastic. The staff cannot speak and understand English well and you should repeat everything couple of times.

The food here was great. We had a selection of starters and had meat on the grill. The only gripe was the service which was bad. They were slow to get our table sorted even though we had pre-booked. At one point the waitress grabbed the tongs out of my hand to flip the meat on the grill and to top it off we couldn't individually pay on the card machine. They asked that we pair up and one person from each pair pay. Despite the great food, the bad service made for a poor experience. I won't be returning in the future.

We went there as a 5 person family, 4 adults and a child. We had previously made a booking at 19:00 by phone call but upon arrival were made to queue in front of the restaurant in order to get a table, despite telling the staff of our reservation. After waiting for at least 15 mins, we discovered that the other people in the queue had also made reservations and were similarly unable to get a table. Upon entering and asking the staff as to why we hadn't been seated yet, we were ignored. Other families also received the same response. It was only after asking for the manager that we discovered that whomever had been taking the phone calls had not been writing them down - important details such as time, number of people, name and contact details - hence the absolute lack of service. During this, another family seated themselves at a table, clearly familiar with the staff and the restaurant. They received help and menus immediately. I greatly advise others to refrain from visiting the restaurant unless the visitor has connections within the restaurant or had the patience to stand in queue with empty tables nearby, waiting for someone to seat you.

20 minutes after the food arrived we still had no cutlery. When it arrived the waitress slammed a box down on the table as if it was our flaunt somehow. Ordered raw crab and spicy sauce which came with no utensils to open - when we asked, the waitress barked at us to use our teeth. When I asked for extra napkins I was told we had enough already. The £25 steak was like chewing 70s postman’s rubber bands. The endless stream of delivery drivers was awful and the restaurant was freezing as the door was constantly open. Service was rude and slow and one of our dishes was taken away before it was finished After paying way too much our waitress threw my card on the table. Appalling experience. Never again. But grateful there are so many better options in New Malden.

From the get go the waitress was rude not hospitable and very abrupt. We ordered ramen noodles worth £10 but it simply was an instant noodle packet which was absolutely shocking! The portions were very small and the food was not that tasty and very expensive. Do not eat the sides they put out if you don’t want them otherwise you will get charged. Overall a poor experience. You have much better restaurants to go to in New Malden. Do not eat here!

extremely poor service. we were rushed and asked to leave before we finished the food! we stayed less than 1h - they had bigger party waiting. Never seen anything like this before 😱

This was by far one of the best experiences I had in a Korean restaurant. They serve traditional Korean food and it’s just amazing. We will go back to try other dishes for sure.

First time for me and many times by my girlfriend. This is one of the many restaurants she goes to when she can. Can happily say this was thoroughly enjoyed. We went with our 6 year old son, service was great and food delicious.

Visited this restaurant again after long lockdown, was lovely to see same people working, and taste best korean food in London. Thank you

complete chaos at the restaurant. Only seemed to be 3 staff trying to deal with a long queue outside and many tables. Fortunately we had booked but even after taking our table and viewing the menu we had to ask 6 times and wait 30 minutes for someone to take our order. The food was good as usual when it finally came.

Ordered takeaway today after having been recommended this by a korean real estate agent and finding it on top 20 Korean lists.Unarguably the worst Korean takeaway ever.The biggest problem was the chicken. The chicken bibimbap had boiled offals and I had to throw 50 percent of the pieces away. The fried chicken was similar. It seemed as if the chicken was not cleaned at all. They had everything inside the chicken when they fried it. Full of bones and meat felt uncooked. The bibimbap was also quite tasteless. Never ordering again and clearly the hype is fake.

Although we enjoy Korean food, we are not exactly experts when it comes to this cuisine and I appreciate takeaway is not the best way to judge a restaurant’s standard. But in these times of lockdown ....Having said all that we thought this food was very disappointing - bland, stodgy, unappetizing.Poor choice. Won’t repeat it

This review applies to delivery only. Food delivered late and child. Korean chicken consisted mainly of bones. Seafood Bibimbap was simply unpleasant. Quantities weren't impressive either.

We love korean food so we try this restaurant, food are freshly cook, steaming hot, we try their barbeque in front of the table, they even help us out what to grill first, and they even most of it for us and cut and serve. You cant beat that. Service is very good. Food taste fantastic, more on spicy side.

Absolutely appalling service. Unable to honour booking. Had to wait for a long time to be seated even after booking for a table. Arrival no staff to greet and waited a long time to even get attention. Avoid unless you are not hungry and enjoy standing around waiting to be seated and get messed around with your table booking

Absolutely delicious! Food was next level yummy! Perhaps a bit lacking in ambience but you’re going for the food. The beef and glass noodles were tremendous, as was the seafood pancake. And the BBQ was spot on! Already recommended it to friends and will be going back Staff a little all over the place - mainly when it comes to drinks. But they were friendly and accommodating.

I was looking forward to Korean BBQ — I love it. But Jin Go Gae served me the poorest Korean BBQ I ever had. The quality of meat was rather disappointing, and the preparation on the BBQ grill was awful. The member of staff that was in charge of our table shouldn’t be allowed anywhere close near to a BBQ — no skills whatsoever.

We went as a table of 8. We had the BBQ menu as a sharer, which meant we needed both bbq's lit, they lit 1 and left the other one for around 15 minutes after which meant the meat had cooked at different times and had been sat out. the Fried chicken had bones throughout which wasnt advertised. On a positive note, the fried chicken starter was tasty but thats all. I would reccomend trying somewhere different for Korean food as it seems the prices have riden for the EOTHO.

I have to say as someone who lives here I was quite disappointed with the food and service. The food was quite overpriced and as you can see from the photo below it wasn't very appetising. My family and I were very shocked at the presentation of food. The food was served in a tin bowl which was very surprising as it is supposed to be a restaurant and it was quite insulting to us. What else came to a surprise was that no cutlery or napkins were offered. We had to ask and wait. We had to return our meal sadly because there was a rotten smell coming from the meat in one of the bimbimbaps we ordered.The waitress wasn't friendly and ignored us multiple times when we ordered. In most restaurants I've visited the waitresses at least smile and say have a good day or I hope you enjoy your meal but the service here is the exact opposite. The one good thing though was that she at least returned our meal.

Our friend from Wimbledon recommended this place and we booked in advance. They were opened post COVID-19 with extra safety precaution. We ordered the galbi (beef rib), japchae (fried glass noodle) and tofu soup. All were excellent and would definitely highly recommend!

Great Korean food ! Authentic and delicious! Staff helpful and accommodating to our needs. The table top bbq is good fun and the range of sauces and pickles is excellent.

Loved the barbecue, meat was really good. We also tried a hot pot, the recommended one, and that was lovely. Would recommend

I’ve been to this restaurant about 4 times now and I honestly travel about 50 mins just for their food. The atmosphere is always great and the staff are super helpful. I always get their fried chicken because it’s just so amazing. But honestly I’ve never eaten a bad thing there!!

We were a family with 8 Adults, booked for 6pm and was not late.We were given three menus to share to choose food, it seems the expectation is that Diners have to choose all the dishes they want in less than ONE minute.Waitress came three times to DEMAND order in military style within three minutes.When serving, waitress put her fingers(!) into the cups and just put everything down in one place, so it's serving yourself.Also, no charcoal BBQ is available because that would mean your dining time will be longer and would reduce the restaurant to cash in on profits during weekends. BBQ dishes are cooked in the kitchen and served on hot plate.Mid-way into dinner (after 1 hrs and 30mins!) while still eating and holding cutleries, the bill was put onto our table.Ten minutes later, waitress would come again to ask if we finished. Our hot pot was still half full, main dishes (5!) are still not finished, we were all still holding chopsticks and trying to pick food.Five minutes later, again, waitress says: YOU FINISHED! while we were still eating!No water refill given, because again, drinking water would mean we won't be able to chew the food.In the end, the service charge is obligatory and must be paid.Food is average, not special to endure such service unless you like being treated in a rude way and pay for it also. New Malden has many other authentic restaurant you can go to and they are polite, how a restaurant should be. In terms of spicy-ness, they toned it down to suit westerners (very mild, and I am saying it from a person who don't eat spicy) as opposed to remain authentic.Jin Go Gae is not there to serve customers from my experience with the level of rudeness. Worst than Chinatown. They make you leave the table quickly by clapping hands like in a school...chop chop, quick move your butts, I want to make more money.If you are willing to go in to hand in your wallet so they can make 100% profit, I am sure you will be served like a proper paying customers.

We have been a number of times and this place never disappoints. Great food and service with helpful staff who explain the menu and advise on portions for those less familiar with Korean cuisine. Definitely recommend this to all living and visiting the area.

After a very cold day-off, I required a light takeaway, whilst I loitered in a warm bed, listening to superb football analyst, Simon Jordan, on the radio, in the early evening.I’ve been to this restaurant, once before, a couple of years ago and then ate it. The food was superb then. If dining in, there are several different areas to eat in - and a good sign that this restaurant must be good, is that many of the clientele are from the local Korean community.Service is efficient and quick.Ordered a couple of Kimchi’s to accompany a starter of Veg Mandu, which was enough for me this evening.The kimchi was, as usual, utterly delicious and the Mandu was excellent.A perfect light meal on a horribly chilly evening.

Soft meat, tasty sauce and fresh veggies. Food is incredibly delicious and I can't wait to go back there!

Have been coming here since 2015. I have never had a bad experience. Highly recommended if you are into Korean food. Charcoal BBQ!!! Bimbimbap, you name it

I went to Jin Go Gae for a pre-Christmas family celebration and loved the place. The restaurant is quite big, very popular, with efficient and professional service and great food. Barbecue tables, good choice of hot pots, noodles, bibimbap but the real highlight for me was the barbecue - bulgogi, pork belly and squid with the usual Korean small side dishes with veggies, pickles and sauces.Perfect for a cold winter evening!

Excellent food and service here! Usually lots of Korean people from the local area which I’d say is probably a good sign in terms of authenticity of the cuisine!They’re always very busy so don’t expect the serving staff to be constantly at your beck and call - but surely it’s unreasonable to expect them to be! Korean bbq was superb :-)

Really delicious and authentic Korean cuisine. My family also love the Korean bbq which is done at the table.

Table booked for 6 people for 7.30pm managed to get a seat at 8.10pm. Service very rushed doors open at back of restaurant so you could feel the cold. It was just a shambles from start to end. In the midst of all of this chaos the food was just average. My friend raved about this place and in the end was disappointed as he said it was much better last time he came here. It was just a really poor overall experience

My Mum took us to Jin Go Jae for a meal to celebrate my birthday so it was a special occasion. Jin Go Jae had lost the table booking that she had made by phone and they didn't apologise. We were rushed out at the end of the meal because there were "people waiting" even though there were empty tables that needed wiping. They were literally asking us to leave and we had not been there long. I said this was not a good way to treat customers. The waitress said "it's Korean culture". Another waitress demanded to know if my Mum was paying by card, in Korean in a brusque manner. My Mum is in her eighties and does not speak Korean. Theae two waitresses were very rude to my Mum, though to be fair another one was lovely to her. We have been to this restaurant many times because we like Korean food but they really cannot cope with busy times. The mandu and seafood dumplings were very oily. I don't want to return. If you go, avoid busy nights or expect bad manners, but I'll be looking for another Korean restaurant.

We ordered beef fried dumplings and were so greasy, no tasty. Then, the beef noodles and rice soup wasnt so good. I wont ever come to this restaurant. I lost my time and my money

Came here for Saturday lunch at 12pm > seated straight away but if you come even 15-30 mins later, nearly/already full. When we finished about 1pm, queue waiting. Excellent Korean food, decent prices. Free parking available nearby streets.

Fun family restaurant with plenty of Koreans showing that it is very authentic. Service good and interesting menu to try all the interesting Korean delicacies. Very busy so advisable to book. Watch out for the hot chillies!! Meat could have been better quality but otherwise a good evening out.

Good food and enjoyed. Very busy, nice bbq , good value easy to find place,open mon-sat.Quality food,staff so friendly

Went in for dinner on a Friday evening. Only one half of the restaurant was being served since it was not that busy. We ordered the Ramyun, the seafood pancake and Kimchi pot. Service was prompt albeit a bit robotic and the food arrived quickly. The sea food pancake was too doughy, the Kimchi pot was alright although the portion was tiny and the Ramyun, the less said the better.

The Korean Feast @jingogaeuk absolutely stunning, the food is amazing and full of authentic dishes. One the best tasting Korean food outside of Korea. One point if your looking good service this not the place. But the excellent food makes you forget about that. Best

The best Korean restaurant in town. Strongly recommend mend.The menu is extensive, food is very fresh and staff are helpful.

Daughter no 2 wanted to try Korean food having watched You Tube. This one popped out at us from Google with a good rating and it was near the Korean Foods Cash and Carry that we visit so we gave it a try. We arrived on the K5 bus from Morden. It was late Wednesday lunchtime 1.30pm. There were a few tables taken. We were shown to the back. Drinks we had pineapple juice, Aloe Vera Korean drink from a can, green tea from a hot teapot.We ordered 3 dishes from the set price lunch menu - stir fried chicken, seafood stir fried rice, seafood clear soup with flat gnocchi. 4 dishes of hors d'oeuvre were also brought to the table including rice and lettuce and Chinese leaf with chillies and beansprouts and fermented vegetables kimchi. All the food was well cooked and hot and tasty and we enjoyed our meal that roughly equated to nine pounds a head including service and drinks. Daughter no 2 was pleased with the experience.

Our first visit to Jin Go Gae which was highly recommended by many friends. Really delicious authentic Korean food and efficient, friendly service. Particularly loved the seafood pancake, Par-Jeon and Wang Kalbi. Very busy restaurant with regular customers. Recommend making a reservation before you come.

This is the place to go if you're craving korean food. Great for a group of friends as you can order a wider variety of dishes to share. On average you'd look to pay around 25-30 pounds (if you're completely stuffed). The food is fantastic and the staff are great!

I previously tried eating here with my wife following recommendation from a friend.

I love this restaurant and have visited several times. The place consistently serves delicious food (eg. beef soup, seafood pancake) and efficient quick service. Their lunch sets are value for money too.

There were three of us, two with dietary requirements. Everybody found tasty starters and delicious main courses. The food came quickly - this was a weekday lunchtime - and the service was friendly, efficient and informative.

We love Korean Food very much. We had tried some restaurants in New Malden but Jin Go Gae is the best. Good service and delicious food! We always go to have lunch and dinner. We love the barbecue beef, pancake, beef soup and spicy crab very much. We had a great time with our friends.

I came with my partner on a Saturday evening. It was busy, fortunately we had booked. Predominantly Korean clientele which I hope is a good sign! Had lovely dishes and BBQ; service was quick and efficient.

Fantastic food, service etc. Very busy early, so maybe a late lunch for most? Could not fault anything but since I can’t have everything I would just say we all loved what we had and will go back again and again.

nice food but always very busy and need to queue. also a little pricey, and no parking, need to use nearby street parking which can be hard to find

Visited here off the back of a recommendation from a pilates friend. New Malden is apparently THE place to eat Korean food and I was not left disappointed.

Second time in this restaurant, not as good as the last time.

No one served me water before or after I ordered. They expected you to order the second you sat down.

Try the spicy cold crab, a specialty not on most menus. Barbequed meat is good too, you only have to see the number of Korean clients to know their food must be pretty authentic...

Very nice food and fantastic environment. The only thing is if you drive there during busy time it's hard to find a place to park.

Traditional korean bbq style, serving size are good, service was prompt, there was a lady that speaks fluent English which helps with dietary requirements. Not sure if we were just unlucky but the bbq beef could have been more tender.

Even though Jin Goe Gae is not as conveniently located as other Korean restaurants in the area, it is definitely worth travelling the additional mile or two. We enjoyed their lunchtime menu options and their side dishes very much.

Quite disappointed for the foods ... although here was introduced by friend, but I would say really not such a high standard Korea restaurant, not equally to the price list... the hotpot very sweet, seems add many PSG... beef not as our expectations!!

Lots of tasty dishes on the menu. Always busy. Often a wait for a table. Unfortunately the service is not the best. Everyone looks too rushed and it’s hard to get someone’s attention. Almost fast food style service. Will go back for the food though!

Really nice food overall. I loved the seafood pancake and dumplings were superb. I'm however not quite sure about the noodles and muscles. They didn't seem quite as fresh. Secondly, I wanted to note that the service was quite poor with other people being served before us when we had entered at least 15 minutes before. I don't want to go on about the nagetives but say the food was good and the location was perfect.

So this place is, as a lot of reviewers say, not going to win an award for service. Staff are unhelpful, too busy, don’t care or simply rude. Even if you book don’t expect to get in on time or to have anyone do anything for you.

Great many Korean dishes , only hope menu printing can be improved because the dishes are not well explained clearly. But all in all great dishes at great prices, parking can be tricky but the Cavendish avenue beside the restaurant is recommended and don’t forget to check the H Mary supermarket which is only 5 mins drive away

We went here as a group of four on a Saturday lunchtime. The restaurant was fairly packed, almost exclusively with Koreans (to my mind, a good sign). Although slightly bemused by the large number of menu choices we eventually ordered - with some help from the waitresses. I was actually warned that my choice of main was "very Korean" and I might not like it. (Korean Black Pudding Soup with pig's intestine)... Actually it was delicious and interesting. Warning, the dishes are quite large, so go there hungry. Nobody hassled us to leave, although it was very busy and the staff were both friendly and efficient. Good food, good fun and a bill of £84 for four for four mains, four sides and six beers.

I was eating alone, and I fancied finding some authentic Korean food. This certainly met my requirements. The restaurant was noisy, but the food was good and arrived quickly. I note a number of people have mentioned poor service, but it was adequate for my needs. Would happily revisit, although possibly not if I wanted a quiet evening with someone.

The food at this restaurant is good, but the service is terrible. If you want somewhere to quickly eat then this place is for you. However if you actually want to sit, eat your meal and have an enjoyable evening this restaurant isn’t the one. I booked a table on a Saturday night and through the entire meal (which only lasted 45 minutes despite ordering starters, bbq, sides and drinks) we felt pressured to leave so that they could give our table to someone else. If fact at the end of the meal (whilst we were still finishing up drinks and immediately after paying the bill ) they actually asked us twice (the requests came within 2 mins of each other) to leave!

I went here with family and friends as a group of 5 people to celebrate my graduation.

Very buzzy when we went, and we loved the food- especially the steaks, but all the food we saw people eating looked good.

We booked for a Saturday night but still had to queue for a short while to get in.

Love coming here, food is really tasty and authentic, nice place to come with friends and share. Will definitely be coming back. Just like some of the other reviews, we found our party of 4 were kept waiting for 35 minutes before someone was even free to take our order. However, to be fair it was very busy. Still service responsiveness could be improved.

We used to love going here (first time about 8 years ago) as the food was delicious and prices were very good. They've since got a lot more popular and unfortunately the standard of the service has gone downhill as well as quality of the ingredients.

Authentic Korean food! Love their BBQ meat, Wang Kalbi so much! Their small dishes always taste good! Parjeon (seafood pancake) is tasty too!

Just love the BBQ always full and massive queue to get in. Works well for us as we live round the corner.

We got there by chance, on our bike trip - and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing! We ordered the Korean pancake as a starter to share (it is a huge portion). It was deliciously crispy, with a nice filling. The second course (and we couldn't finish it) was the "army soup", which was cooked in front of our eyes. It was a bit on the spicy side, but delicious, with a nice touch of the coconut milk. We will be coming back for sure - although it is a bit of travel for us. Definitely worth it!

언제나 붐비니 예약은 필수인곳. 손님이 많아서 서빙이 신속하진 않으나 친절한편. 맛과 가성비는 런던 근교 최고의 한국 식당. 양념 갈비, 양념게장, 육회 추천

We have tried many Korean restaurants which claim authentic food, with very average food which could have been cooked by an average chef. From our background in the food industry we can honestly say this is the most pleasant and tastiest Korean food we have ever experienced. From our understanding it is a family run business, and the reality of the food industry is the best food and service is normally provided by family run businesses as each member takes their role very professionally and its not just a means to pay their bills, their pride is involved. The service was next to none, we had own own waiter who was a young oriental man who could not have done enough, with his fellow waitresses always ready rapidly to serve with a smile.

It’s bank holiday Monday, as our rescue, we arrived 9:30pm. No queue any more, one iced cold noodle and one bibimbap and a corn and wheat tea each. The waitress attentively mixed my bibimbap, stole the fun from me. It costs £30 including service charge. Will go back to try the self-help, on table BBQ, hot pot and charcoal grill.

My boyfriend and I visited here after a day at Bushy Park. It was my first time experiencing Korean food. However, my other half had been to Korea and had experienced many different dishes before. We booked a table online and so upon arrival we were greeted and seated very quickly. My other half wanted to try to speak to the waitress in Korean, as he had learnt the language and spent some time out there. Despite being a little rusty she made effort to talk to him and spent time reassuring him that she understood. It was a lovely gesture and was really appreciated. We ordered a selection of different dishes. In a non offensive way it is quite similar to Thai in that you can order different dishes to share and enjoy. It seems a very social affair and I really like that. We obviously had Kim Chi, which is a preserved cabbage. It was lovely if not very different to anything I have tried. We had wonderful Korean pancakes, which unfortunately I can not remember the name of. But I recommend! They were fantastic. We had Mandu, also FANTASTIC. We had beef and pork which they cook in front of you over hot coals. It is lovely but if the doors are open and the wind is blowing the wrong way you do get a face full of smoke. I believe they could have extractors above the tables to reduce this. While the beef was very lovely, the pork left much to be desired. The quality of the pork did not seem up to scratch and up to the price. It is quite expensive and I would even go as far as to say over priced. If you want a drink it comes in a can which they charge an excessive amount for. Baring in mind a can of drink is anything from 60 - 80p. They were charging £2.90! For a can! So over all, I think for the price we could have had better quality. We may return but to be honest we will try other places on offer first. The service is lovely though and the atmosphere is warming.

First time having Korean food, will not be the last. Good start, plenty of Korean natives eating here, as you walk in, the gorgeous smell of cooking greets you, makes your tummy rumble.

Being fairly new to Korean food, we have been to JGG now about 5 times over the last month or so, and every visit has become better as we learn what dishes are our favourites, namely: jap chae (fried clear noodles), seafood pancake, beef soup clear noodles, pork and squid bulgogi, spicy seafood soup noodles.

I've been a regular goer for about 15 years and I know their service is not consistent - you get bad service every now and again. Their food is really nice that was the only reason I never hesitated to go there but I feel now they are not worth it. Booked for 5:30pm, got a table on-time however nobody came to our table to take our order for more than 20 minutes. I had to grab someone and made a complaint about it. A grumpy waiter came finally at 5:55pm. When we finished our food, we paid our bill and about to finish our conversation at the table, a waitress came to tell us there are people waiting to get a table so we need to go. It was around 7pm. And I could not help myself telling her we are about to leave and this delay was caused by their none existence service in the first place. The service during the meal wasn't good at all either which I won't go on about here. I also noticed the BBQ prices hiked up this time. It is now £16 per portion. As I'm a regular I haven't looked at the menu for years and I only remember it used to be £8 and slightly increased to around £10. It is clear to me that they realised people will still come for their delicious BBQ regardless of the service and the price and they do not care. It is sad but it is the time I need to say goodbye for good.

Fantastic food served, all very tasty - especially the yukhoe Atmosphere was nice, service decent, prices a little on the higher side but justifiable by taste.

I visited last week for dinner. We were 4P. We ordered spare ribs on the charcoal grill and Korean Bulgogi BBQ. Extra main course, and seafood pancake. I told them that the pancake shall come first but they brought all at the same time. The table was so small for 4P, and I was afraid something awful could happen with gas grill and charcoal on that small table. I felt very unsafe. The price charged was enough but their service was very poor, rushed and unprofessional. Had to ask for a spoon, and a plate ext. No waitress came to take empty plates...It felt like I was seating out in the marketplace. Hopefully, the owner would do something for customers' comfort dining there in the future. For e.g. toilets was the issue too.

Came to this establishment for the 2nd time. Came with a group of 12 so we booked.

This restaurant is great, it is big and has a great atmosphere when it's busy. The BBQ uses coal and gas which gives the meat a great smoked flavour, not to mention the meat flavour and quality is excellent. The staff are very friendly and I would definitely recommend visiting this place.

It is realised that it should be very busy during lunch time, so have a earlier one around 12:15, Easter Monday holiday. Typical Korean food with reasonable price. Staff are nice. You still can have lunch meal, just around £7-8 each. Be reminded no reservation...

I like the food of the restaurant, the food tasted very Korean, I eat with my friends on Sunday evening, nice restaurant.

We went there on a Monday to celebrate a family birthday. It was busy and lively and we had booked in advance. Our waitress was very friendly and we immediately felt welcome. We were also pleased to see many tables with Korean people which was...
