Kang Nam in Kingston upon Thames

I’ve been to quite a few Korean restaurants in new Malden. Here is not a good option. With the same amount of money you pay, it may still left you in hungry. The food barely tasty served in small portion either.

The best Korean BBQ (marinated beef and shrimp with Boston lettuce, kimchi, and mix veg) and Spicy Muscle Udon Soup I’ve ever had. Yum!!!

Food is expensive and not as good as it used to be.

Eaten here many times, food quality is guaranteed Highly recommend bosam, this kimchi dish is a surprise, I will order it every time I go there🤩

hello. I recently visited Gangnam Restaurant. The food I ate was bossam, bibibap, and kkanpunggi. It was really delicious. Bossam was very tasty and delicious with oyster kimchi.

Would’ve given it 5 stars but the lady was in a hurry with our grill and kept cooking everything so quickly.

I will never go again due to the unfriendly staff. Also, the quality of the food was poor.

Wow what an experience one of the best restaurants in new malden Kangnam hands down from food to the service was exceptional. My experience was divine definitely will visit again. 5/5 experience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a fabulous restaurant that not only exceeded my expectations in terms of its delicious food, but also demonstrated exceptional customer service. What impressed me the most, however, was their dedication to keeping the kitchen open despite the approaching closing time. Upon arriving at the restaurant, my friends and I were warmly greeted by the hostess, who promptly seated us. As we were in for a late dinner, we anticipated limited menu options or rushed service due to the closing time. But to our surprise and delight, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Despite the late hour, the waitstaff demonstrated great attention to detail. They patiently walked us through the menu, recommending their most popular dishes and providing helpful descriptions for each one. Not only did this showcase their knowledge and passion for their offerings, but it also conveyed a genuine desire to ensure our satisfaction. The food that followed was absolutely outstanding, from the appetizers to the mains. Each dish was packed with flavor, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully. It was clear that the chefs took pride in their creations, as the dishes were bursting with creativity and attention to detail. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, was their commitment to their customers. Despite being nearly closing time, the kitchen stayed open, which pleasantly surprised us. We never felt rushed or insignificant, and the staff made us feel welcome and appreciated throughout our entire visit. The waitstaff remained polite and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed, and they even took the time to engage in friendly conversation, further enhancing our dining experience. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. They not only serve exceptional food but also exemplify outstanding customer service. Their decision to keep the kitchen open even though it was nearly closing time is a testament to their dedication to their customers' satisfaction. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with delectable food and exceptional service, this restaurant is a must-visit.

Great Korean food. Not cheap though!

Authentic Korean food. Love the ox knee stew and pork bone stew!

Food was okay. Nothing special. Too overpriced. Service was the worst I've seen. The ladies working there didn't have no attention towards the customers. Missed dishes. Wrong receipt provided as well! Would not recommend.

Very nice food but the service can be a bit better

I've been to Kangnam couple of times, and everytime I've been there I've always found this restaurant a bit pricey. Now, the price has gone even higher and the portion and quality of food have gone down. Very greasy food and kimchi tasted stale. I am aware that the staffs don't speak much English but it doesn't mean that you can to be rude to your customers. They need to improve with their customer service. Eventhough some of my friends recommend this restaurant - I WOULDN'T.

superrrrrrr好吃，老板娘很热情菜量也很大两个人两个主食两个肉可以吃得很饱

이거 너무 하신거 아니에요?(포장 열자마자 사진찍어 올립니다) 보쌈 종종 주문해 먹는데요 물가 올랐으면 £26에서 차라리 조금 더 받으시던지 맛도 없어 보이게 김치 양을 확 줄이셨네요 고기보다 김치때문에 갔었는데요 정말 늦은시간 거기까지 가서 투고 해왔다가 짜증나네요 강남 다신 안갑니다**추가**김치 먹다남은거 주신건가요 예전 아삭 맛있는 김치가 아니라 하루 지난 물나오는 김치에요 .하나먹고 찝찝해서 버립니다.

Older woman with short bob hair was mad rude. Was happy to let other customers wait inside for a table but told us, very sharply, to wait outside. No smile, no please. Then rapidly sat us down, didn't say a word to us. Served us the Korean BBQ, again, didn't say a word, didn't smile, look incredibly unhappy the whole time. Just slammed the meat down, turned on the BBQ and left. She ignored us every time we needed to talk to someone. Payment is done at the front which is odd considering that's very European and just very lazy in general for a "restaurant". Food was tasty and the service of another female person was good, the older woman with a bob was so rude and unprofessional I would never ever come here again. There are far better Korean places and she brings a bad name to "k town". Shame on her and I hope she reads this and does a lot better next time. If the service industry doesn't suit you, dont work in it.

The food delivery was very quick, but the staff service was very bad and impolite. Can’t imagine how can they serve customer like this. Waste our money!! We will not be go next time.

We came pretty early around 12 and were attended straight away. They give you some tab water if you decide not to order drinks. We had sweet & sour chicken as starter and than clear beef noodle soup and spicy tofu seafood stew. Both were amazing and super hot. They came with a side of rice. Our tummies were happy. 😊

I wonder if it is one of the places that best express the taste of Seoul.

The best Korean restaurant in town. Lovely service

Nice place. Ordered Pork Bulgogi & BBQ items, was fire! Staff were friendly and efficient even though they were short staffed and busy. Unfortunately forgot to order KFC. Will revisit.

감자탕이 너무 맛있었어요. 잘먹고 언니들도 친절해서 즐거운 시간여씁니다

It's not a stereotype, but a natural atmosphere that is very calm. Bulgogi, bibimbap, and cold noodles are recommended. The price was also reasonable

등심, 삼겹살 먹었습니다. 고기는 신선했어요. 굴김치도 추천합니다

Great K food. The seafood pancake, sweet chilli chicken and hot bowl mixed rice was all very tasty.

The service was nice, foods were ready in no time and very nice!

The food was delicious and the service was quite fast.

Revisiting here after a while being away due to lockdown amongst other things. Food is still great tasting. Seafood pancake is still one of the all time favourites😝. Other repeating choice is the octopus salad.

Good food, quick and friendly service, excellent value for money.

Was able to do a walk-in for a party of 8. Food was great and good portion sizes. No need to order so much to be full and prices are moderate!

Good food and service. The place is clean and spacious.

rubbish. i ordered pork belly - it was just pure fat no meat. informed the waitress and she just shrugged and didnt care. Obviously didnt eat it . had soondae guk - average at best. 삼겹살 은 비계 있는거 알겠는데 비계만 주면 주인님은 먹갰습니까!? 애기해줘도 그냥 웃고 가는 .....

The BBQ is a little pricey compared to similar in the area but very good quality. The starters and the Korean fried chicken however are generously portioned and very tasty. Service is also rapid and always with a smile. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was just fair. The so called "Gin Seng" tea is a rip off and don't think of ordering. Plain water tastes much better!

Best place to have Korean fried chicken!

Have been here for BBQ and hot pots, it's always so great for the family. They are even dog-friendly so comes totally recommended for families with pups.

Had a very good lunch here! Meat was tender, and the portions were very decent. Highly recommended!

My first time in this restaurant. The food was great as was the service. Their oyster flavoured Kimchi was definitely worth the long journey of 1 hour 30 mins it took for us to get there from the part of England where we work and live.

항상 붐비는 뉴몰든 맛집!!! One of the best Korean restaurants in New Malden. Always so busy!!

Delicious food, went with my kids and we all loved it. Had the bbq and price was reasonable, food absolutely lovely, meat just melts in your mouth.

We ordered Beef Bulgogi, japchae and Yukgyejang. All foods were tasty and amazing! Especially japchae is supposed to be a starter menu but its portion was quite big ! Restaurant was very clean and cozy feeling as well. 👍🏼 All menus were ready super quick once we ordered. I heard Kangnam is also well-known for their Korean BBQ so will come back to try it out soon 😝 Highly recommend!

The food was delicious and the service was quite fast. The menu has more options than most Korean restaurants.

물냉면(맛은 설탕반 식초반 미원 조금 섞어 놓은 맛)에 고기 한 점 없고 계산시 tap water 비용을 1인당 2 파운드 씩 charge를 하더군요. 물을 주문 하지도 않았고 메뉴에도 없었는데 아무런 말 없이 가져다 주길 래 일반 한식당에서 table service로 제공하는 것으로 생각 했는데 너무 황당 했습니다. 이제 이 곳에 안갑니다.

Good food and attentive service. It was too noisy and communication was not straight forward due to language barrier

We ordered take away chicken, half and half. the flavor of chicken is good but very very dry. Tasty likes they fry and using microwave to heat up. We could not finish all. But they good service. Chicken comes with one can of soft drink and pickled radish .. but we may not try again chicken here. Or could be better at the restaurant.

Food was great but very poor ventilation system. Got to invest into fresh air to circulate. Felt like eating in the smoking room. But meats are really tasty.

Extremely expensive One of the owner came and put ALL the meat into the BBQ grill without asking us. We have asked them to stop but another staff still come and put the second plate of meat into the grill again. £2.99 for 8 pieces of lettuce. £4.99 for a small dish of kimchi. Please DON’T go there!

My favourite Korean Restaurant in all of New Malden! The taste of the food is so authentic, reasonably priced, always well cooked and the staff very friendly. They have Korean BBQ with all the trimmings, pork belly, brisket & sirloin being the best. All the starters are amazing and the Chef Specials are all very good. I've been here so many times i can't fault it. We always come here with our friends who travel to visit us, encouraging them to come eat here even though its far from London VS eating in a Korean restaurant in Central London since its well worth the travel! My one tip though, if its a warm day and you are coming here for BBQ, Dress Appropriately! It gets warm inside!

Loved the korean cuisine.. Not quite expensive. (80£) for two .hehe

BBQ table top was good but the ramyun was bland, they were quite busy so they forgot one of the sides but overall a nice eatery.

The service was nice, foods were ready in no time and very nice! I will definitely go back again! Highly recommended;)

Very lively restaurant, great selection of food and good prices

Oyster kimchi and bossam is a must! Dogani Su Yuk is also fantastic. if the overall interior becomes modern, it would be perfect.

Super tasty food Super good service A little pricey but the portions were big. Still a bit pricey though compared to other places where you can get the same amount and quality.

**Be cautious to drink the bottle of water** The bottle of water was set on the table initally before we sit, no one asked me if we wanted to tap water or still water. And we found that ONE bottle of water was £4 when we finished our food and recieved the bill. I told them that we thought it's free and you should ask us what drink we wanted before we opended it. But she didn't apologies at all and just blamed us opened it and told us to ask them before open it next time. What a ridiculous customer service. I was really dissappointed their service.

‼️Was forced to pay service charge and they said “it was for paying by card”. One of our main never arrived. ❗️Be aware Water bottle on table not free (they’ve just left it there without saying you’ll be charged until bill comes. Three of us went in for kbbq and ordered seafood pancake + kfc as well. Everything to start off was ok- found the pancake too soft(it was falling apart easily). Issue was that kfc never arrived and the restaurant wasn’t too busy either. We waited forever and everything else was finished. The waitress got us the bill so we thought they forgot about it. It was still on the bill so I asked for it to be removed to which she started arguing with her staff in front of me (showing them what we ordered etc). Anyways I asked her to remove the service charge as it’s discretionary to which she said “you’ve to pay if if you’re making a payment by card”. I think she just made it up

If you drink the bottle of water on your table, they will add £4 to your bill. This seems to be a new thing. Food is adequate and will satisfy your K-food needs, but there is better around.

Food is good but staff just give the wrong orders. Too difficult to communicate with them.

Love love love this place. Probably been here at least 7 times in the last month. Service is super speedy. Food is great. Would recommend to anyone!

The food and service were beyond my expectations. We absolutely enjoyed the vibes of this place. Superb restaurant to take my family out for lunch.

Fresh and delicious selection of meats and sides, all incredibly seasoned. When combined the flavours were amazing, definitely a meal I won't be forgetting soon. Great service too and selection of beers, spirits and drinks. Overall experience and atmosphere is great fun and would definitely recommend giving Kangnam a try.

We came here for the Korean Fried Chicken (KFC). They only serve the KFC as a whole chicken. But luckily there were 4 of us so it wasn’t a problem. They even let us have two flavours ( spicy vs non spicy). The vegetable starters, pancakes were very delicious too.

The kimchi jjigae (ask for extra pork) here is the best in New Malden.

This seemed to be a very genuine Korean restaurant, the stew with mandu and rice cake was delicious, chewy rice cake and soft, aromatic dumplings ^ ^ the fried chicken with soy sauce was nice and crispy and sweet too 😀 the only thing was it was a little pricey, but apart from that I'll be coming here again.

강남의 삼겹살과 굴김치, 쏘맥을 애정합니다. 해물 누릉지탕도 술안주로 강추하구요^^

손님 많을 때는 스탭이 바빠서 요구 사항 전달하기가 쉽지 않아요. 손님 많을때는 스텝을 충원하시면 좋겠어요.

2 visits and I loved the place each time. Love the BBQ aspect as you'd expect. The marinated beef is so good!! It's a pricy meal but for the amount of food you get so worth it. I'd say as someone who has so little experience with the culture I find the staff very accomodating and sweet, though occasionally inattentive, rarely get asked if I want more to drink and the tables take a while to clear. Love it though and look forward to trying the bimpap in a takeaway - lockdown eh.

Good spot, close to station. Glad we picked this place in a row of other Korean joints

Recently took a few takeaway and the food is amazing. Will order again.

Nice place. I would say out of all the Korean restaurants on the high street, this is probably the best one all round. Obviously it can't be 100% authentic Korean but it's decent. My mum says this is where the ajummas go to eat. That speaks volumes. 4 stars since the service can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes they're nice, sometimes they don't care about you, depends on their mood.

Really great food. Loved it. Felt like authentic Korean food.

Enjoyed the bbq and food. Fast and efficient service. Easily available hand sanitiser at the entrance.

The food is very good indeed — a great restaurant for many Korean favourites. And the service has always been very good. A friendly restaurant!

Very delicious Kimchi and pork!

양념 치킨 괜찮고 짬뽕은 비추입니다. 덜익은 면들이 섞여잇고 해산물은 너무 냉동 냄새가 많이 낫고 국물도 그냥 매운 맹물 맛. 반찬들은 맛이없거나 오래된느낌. 메인으로 설렁탕가켯는데 김치나 깍두기 오퍼가 없엇음. 아맥스 로컬 숍 help 프로모션 리스트에 등재돼잇어서 계산은 됐는데 굳이 환불시켜서 다른 카드로 계산하게만드는 그런점들이 일반 다른식당들과 달라서 아쉬웟음. 굳이 다시 갈거 같지않음.

왠만한 한국음식 다 있고, 다 맛있네요 ㅎ 한국음식 먹고싶을때 고민없이 여기 오면 다 먹을 수 있습니다. 올때마다 다른메뉴 먹어보는데 주력메뉴가 뭔지 잘모르겠어요...다 맛있있어서 ㅎㅎㅎ

Everything were good (Korean bbq and kimchee pancake) but I was disappointed they did not have lunch menu

Staff are very moody and impolite

Excellent and authentic Korean restaurant. I was well amazed by their quality of meats and also enjoyed yukhoe, which is raw beef.

Really excellent and authentic korean food. Had the fried chicken and it was just like I've had in Korea. Delicious!

An authentic south Korean restaurant. Food was well cooked. They have an interesting service call system.

Great food and great service! Staff are really nice and their Korean fried chicken is tasty.

부대찌개를 먹었는데... 모르겠네요.. 맛을 인상적이진 않았어요

Wasted our £110 for such a terrible service today. Never going back to this place again. We didn’t even finished our food and the waitress just brought a takeaway bag and chucked our fried chicken. My friend barely ate her food, she started collecting all the plates and bowls and told her that other people are waiting. She didn’t even took a minute, brought our bill to the table with a service charge added for what??They should have told us earlier when we asked for a table or maybe put a reserved sign on the table if they have bookings,We could have gone to somewhere else. The dinner and service felt rushed. Completely ruined our mood. Such a horrible experience in this place. Definitely won’t recommend this place to people who wants to enjoy their food, spend time with their family and friends.

Good food had the fried chicken expensive but large size with nice chilli sauce. Seafood pancake was very nice and crisp. Free parking after 6.30pm . Would recommend

This is our favourite Korean food place. Prices are reasonable and food is so authentic and proper Korean. Another best thing is their consistency. We've been there so many times and food is just as amazing every time. Highly recommend it. Best to reserve a table before your visit on weekends.

Everything was good. Really enjoyed it!

Really great food, they even have a Korean bbq/hotpot situation.

This is my third visit to Kang Nam and thought they deserve a review. Staff have always been friendly and efficient. Their seafood pancake is the best I have had so far in the Surrey/London area. Starters are larger than expected so don't be too greedy like us and order too many! Although their menu is not as varied as other restaurants nearby, there is still enough choice to satisfy your Korean food cravings.

Always love Kang Nam for a Korean feast. Highly recommend the deep fried spicy prawns and the Korean BBQ. We have to order 2 portions of prawns every time we go, because they disappear so quickly. Fast and attentive service, one our favourite restaurants in New Malden.

Pravá korejská restaurace narvaná korejskými štamgasty. Nečekejte menu upravené pro Evropany.

Really delicious and authentic Korean food. Would recommend for anyone looking for a Korean meal in London.

The food so tasty and really so good. First time eating in the restaurant and absolutely loved it. I recommend the fried chicken Korean style, kimchi, japchae.

Starters are comparatively the best although all of the food is tasty, especially the kimchi pancake. The Bulgogi is a personal favourite in terms of the main dish.Although the food is very tasty (all one should go to a restaurant for) there is a limited drinks menu and one must go to the till to pay by card which is a minor frustration.Overall, brilliant food and would highly recommend to anyone either new to the area or looking for good Korean food.

This is the worst Korean food I’ve had in London. Worse than city centre ones. Bad quality meat, bland dishes, and weird service. It is expensive for what it is.

Decent place for korean food. It gets quite busy and they don't have enough waiting staff so may take a while to order. Food is good, portion sizes are good and decent pricing.

Probably the best Korean that you can find. Authentic and delicious food.

Excellent food. Lovely salmon bowl, spring onion salad, tasty side condiments and full of locals which is a good sign.
