London Naru in Greenwich

This is a must go place to eat delicious and fresh see-foods and sushi. I am looking forward coming back to try more Korean foods. It is a lovely family run restaurant.

It's Korean food, but there are no side dishes, but it's delicious.

Good food and an even more brilliant staff. They were able to accommodate all 8 of us walking in without a reservation on a busy Saturday evening. Service was great. Appreciate the effort in finding us a seat.

This place just keeps getting better and better. The menu is always improving. I’ve been a customer of Jay for probably around 15 years. The food has never let me down. I’ve just had KFC and a set of hand rolls. Apologies for no photo, I was so hungry I devoured it 😂

I confess that I know next to nothing about Korean food.. but I've been here a few times before going to the theatre or cinema and I've always ordered the beef bibimbap in the cast iron pot (which comes with a crispy rice base). The food is fresh, delicious and reasonably priced; staff are friendly and efficient and it's fab to watch the sushi chef when you eat in a hurry downstairs. Main seating upstairs is cosy and the premises are clean. My go-to eating place in Greenwich now.

Definitely a bit of a hidden gem in Greenwich. Delicious food, looking forward to returning.

It gave me and my friend food poisoning, seriously need to get check out by a food and health inspector

We went here for dinner on a Saturday evening, it’s popular and busy, lucky we had a booking. The food was nice overall, I recommend the gimbap and the pork belly main was also very good. The dumplings were standard and we found the japchae texture a little too soft, but beef was tasty. They offer sushi too, we didn’t order it but it looked good with proper sushi chef downstairs preparing it. Downstairs in the entry is the kitchen and Deliveroo collection, you need to go upstairs to the restaurant, not sure if there’s a lift for anyone who would need it. Staff are friendly and facilities clean.

Please must try!!! I was truly impressed by the sushi and Korean food in London!!!

I had the beef kimbap, it was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Will visit again in the future.

We unfortunately had a negative experience last week at London Naru. As some reviews mentioned, the food was bland and soggy, lacking authentic flavors & textures. However what made the experience much worse was when we asked to have the service charge removed, a staff who I assumed the manager came and showed annoyance while telling us something along the line service charge was a London thing, and then literally asked us why we still ate the food if there were issues! We were flabbergasted. We didn’t finish the food, left 2/3 of the kimchi pancake dish and some rice.

The bibimbap was basically just boiled vegetables over rice, with no sauce at all. The rice was sticky and had a bad texture. The seafood pancake was mostly flour, overly soft, and extremely greasy on the outside. Every dish was mushy, like baby food. It looked great in photos but tasted awful in reality. On top of that, they forced a 12.5% service charge.

On a mission to find authentic, affordable restaurants since moving to London from Toronto, and this spot nails Korean food. Came for Saturday lunch and had bluefin tuna kimbap, vegan kimchi, chicken bibimbap, tuna maki, pan-fried chicken mandu, and black sesame ‘guk’ (my favourite), reminiscent of Chinese black sesame dessert porridge. Everything was fresh and made with quality ingredients. The upstairs dining space was cozy, clean, and inviting. I’ll be back to try more.

If u want to experience good authentic Korean cuisine, u should come to this restaurant!! It was the best bibimbap and seafood pajeon in my whole life even in the UK And the owner said they don’t use any MSG at all I really recommend here The seafood pancake and bibimbap here are really delicious. The seafood and green onion pancakes have a lot of ingredients on the outside and the inside, and the soy sauce that comes with it is also delicious. The bibimbap is mixed gently and the ingredients are perfectly cooked. I ordered stone pot bibimbap, but the lightly pressed rice was too big👍🏼 To eat bibimbap, go to London Naru instead of Jeonju,, The seasoning was just right!! How much effort did it take to create this flavor without using chemical seasonings? I felt proud as the boss spoke. The Japanese friend who went with me also said it was really delicious and thanked me for bringing it. Hihi, I was just as proud. May you prosper, boss😆💕

Nice little gem tucked away in Greenwich. Lunch menu is great 👍

Really nice food, and lovely staff. Had the aubergine side which was delicious, a good sized portion of kimchi and a chicken bibimbap, so filling.

My partner and I get into our own little "trends" and for the last year we've been trying Korean restaurants everywhere we go and in an expanding radius. This restaurant is definitely the best of all we've tried so far (many!) and we go more or less weekly and any time we have guests visiting we take them. On top of some amazing fried chicken, there are many dishes that are light and full of vegetables, which allows for a lighter meal - even when we get a bit carried away with the amounts, digestion is fairly easy! Also, I love sushi, but since I have tried their gimbap I am an absolute convert! The staff are incredible, very attentive and accomodating and the venue is lovely and very well kept. 100% recommended

My favourite Korean in London. Lots of options, all great!

One of best meals we had in London. Food was delicious, server was there whenever we needed her, and ambience was cozy and friendly. Place to return for sure. Thank you for having us! 🙏

Tasty authentic food, very high quality sushi and gimbap. Probably my favourite Greenwich restaurant. Good choice of cheaper noodle/rice dishes and more premium meat/fish/sushi/sashimi choices. Would advise booking for peak times as the place is not large.

Great food at a reasonable price. My go-to when I don't want to cook.

The portions was bigger than we expected and we quite enjoyed it. Even enough for our lunch The next day (we spent £30 each). The rice may be a little wetter than we liked (We were a little picky on this). Nonetheless, we still enjoyed the dinner and would certainly visit again.

Intimate place, attentive service and great dishes

Food was ok. One waiter clearly has a flu. He kept coughing the whole time while serving tables (including delivering dishes and making tea). I was so worried and finished asap. If the own saw this, I hope that next time if your staff is ill, do not let them to come, otherwise your customers would just got sick. Edit, I got a flu the same day that I visited this restaurant. I think there is a high possibility that waiter passed the flu to me. I was sick for 2 weeks! Would not recommend this restaurant

Great place! The staff were super friendly and the food was so tasty - I appreciated the veggie options 😁

Lovely little venue, friendly service, authentic and outstanding food. Can't recommend enough if you like the cuisine!

Went a while back but forgot to leave a review.. bibimbap is splendid and staff very friendly. Only criticism was the decor felt a bit austere, though this may have changed. Still, as a local, the best restaurant in Greenwich!

Best Sushi in Korean restaurant!! Been bought by the locals. The Yukhae and beef bulgogi are also very tasty 😋

The food was delicious, fresh and served quickly despite being busy, which was nice as I was in a bit of a rush. The service was friendly, accommodating and kind. Looking forward to trying more from their large menu.

We had an exceptional experience there, with Piroska providing outstanding hospitality as our host.

It's the best Korean restaurant. They also make yukhoe properly.

The most amazing place to eat in Greenwich! Food is delicious, clean and the staff is always perfect. Highly recommend!!!

Real Korean food. This is not the kind of Korean food that is only poorly imitated. It's better than most local Korean restaurants. I wanted to eat everything, but first I ordered soft tofu stew, stone pot bibimbap, and raw beef, and ate it all up. The menu looks exactly like the photo on the introduction page, and the type of vegetables and arrangement of the vegetables used in the bibimbap are done with great care. After eating, I even packed 2 rolls of kimbap. If I crave Korean food while I'm in Greenwich, I'll definitely have to take the bus and come.

The staff were friendly and informative. It does not look like much seating on the ground floor, but there is seating on the upper floors, It was not hard to find gluten-free options. The food was tasty but a bit too salty to my taste.

Perfect, my favourite Korean restaurant from now on!

Nice place when craving for some Korean flavours. Friend chicken is crispy and not too greasy, the sauces are really tasty. Edit rating: not sure what happened with the service, they couldn't find our reservation, then it took 45min for our food to arrive even if the restaurant was just half full, so bad... Now the restaurant claims that they always advise of longer waiting time during peak hours, which is totally a lie. I've been here regularly and was never warned that food could take 45min to be served

Doesn’t shut at 10.30, shuts long before

Super nice food and super kind staff. 10/10 we will be back for sure . Prices are also reasonable.

10/10. Soup for starters was so good too.

I love gimbap it’s so delicious. All the stews are amazing. Every time we back it’s quality meal.

Absolutely gorgeous food that's reasonably priced in a really nice location. Service was also friendly and fast.

Feel like parents home, so caring, taste heavenly!

unexpectedly good! the kimchi jeon is perfect, crispy on the outside and warm, soft in the inside, theres a lot of kimchi inside too. sundubu jjigae is tad bit spicier than other korean restaurants that i have tried, LOVED that extra kick. the setting was very homey. we walked in going down the stairs without much thinking and one of the cook came down to explain that they don't have enough staffs to run all floors during that time which is fine. what i appreciate is that when he moved us upstairs, he told the waitress that we want to sit somewhere silent (cuz we went straight to the subbasement). everyone were smiling and being very attentive. will def come back!!!

Because he couldn't eat properly because of the punishment, I politely asked him to remove the service charge, but he continued to protest as if he didn't understand and cursed loudly at a co-worker next to him as if he wanted us to hear him...,, I went in because I wanted to eat Korean food for the first time in a while, but when I left, I felt bad. It got really bad

Tasty authentic Korean food. I had seafood Japchae and kimchi pancake with plum tea. Japchae not greasy, light and lots of fresh mussels and king prawns. So yummy! The kimchi pancakes are so light, almost flaky crunchy, with a lovely sesame soya dip. Plum tea was good. Had a good chat with the sushi chef or owner as I sat at the counter. Beautiful food! Can’t wait to go back.

Best Korean in Greenwich, possibly even south east London. Lots of space upstairs, but recommend booking prior to visiting. Very friendly staff. Recommend the Soju and Dolsot Bibimbap.

Prehaps the greatest Korean Food available in the UK. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had a large meal with 11 people. Our large order was dealt with professionally.

I live just behind Naru and visit Naru frequently since they opened last year. However, the most recent meal I had when I brought 9 friends to visit the place last weekend was very disappointing. They were clearly unable to manage with the number of customers during lunch: 1) service was appalling - they served half the table and then proceeded to serve other customers. Some of my friends waited almost an hour for our food, the tteokbokki which is meant to be an appetiser came only at the very end. Had to follow up with the manager and explained the situation to them but even then, they looked confused and couldn’t tell which order has and has not been served. The worst is that some of us ordered the same dish but only a few of us were served the food; 2) we had a few wrong orders. We asked if the waiter should repeat our order and he said he didn’t need to; and 3) food was below par compared to the usual times we visit on weekdays.

Absolutely brilliant food and great service, I can't believe I left it so long to try this place out. The best chicken I've ever had in my life and I've had a lot of chicken.

this restaurant was recommended by Vittles for places to eat near greenwich and they aren’t wrong! the food is very tasty and reasonably priced for the city. the assorted namul was very nice, and both of the stews were delicious. one thing is that the bulgolgi was made of tiny pieces of beef that were a little tough, but the marinade was great. i’ll be back next time i’m in greenwich!

As a Korean got to taste Proper Korean food!! Hard to find this kinda gem around Kent. Will come back again

Arrived at restaurant, without a booking and the staff were very accommodating, the food was delicious, the beef bulgogi and Korean fried chicken are definitely worth recommending. Will have to come again.

A great Korean with lots of character. If you plan ahead you can reserve a seat at the counter where you can watch the chef prepare your food or at a floor table with mats. We tried the pork bibimbap, seafood pancake and tuna gimbap. All dishes were very tasty, my only minor complaint is I assumed the tuna in the gimbap would be fresh and it wasn’t (more like tinned tuna). But still a lovely meal overall!

Seriously excellent Korean food. Delicious. No notes.

We wanted to go forever and always found it closed, until one day that we finally managed to get there, and we go about once a week whenever possible. The place is very cute and very clean. The staff are lovely and very attentive and of course, the food, OH MY, OH MY the food is fantastic. Some of our must-haves are the Spicy Pork Gimbap, the Kimchi Pancake and the Korean Fried Chicken with the chili sauce. Today I tried the stone bowl Bibimbap and it was also beautiful, the bottom rice burnt at the perfect point, like paella’s socarrat. Honestly, don’t miss the chance to visit this restaurant if possible, you won’t regret it.

I've visited this restaurant twice recently, and it has some great Korean food! I highly recommend ❤️Bibimbap ❤️Gimbap, spicy pork flavour ❤️Dak bokkum These dishes were full of flavor and definitely worth trying. However, the Kimchijeon wasn’t as crispy as I would have liked, and the Haemultang was a bit too fishy for my taste. I’m looking forward to trying the Gomtang on my next visit—it was sold out when I was there, so it must be popular! Overall, a solid spot for Korean cuisine.

This is a traditional small Korean eatery in Greenwich which is a nice addition to the already diverse food culture in the neighbourhood. I tried the five selection of flavored vegetables and the beef bibimbap, with the peach tea. I like my food piping hot, so as the chilli sauce, even on a warm summer afternoon. The price is higher than some Korean restaurants in the City. For a beef bibimbap priced at £14, I would expect more beef. The vegetable selection which cost £8.5 is almost the same as those in the bibimbap.

This place offers real and high quality food. Staff are also accommodating and friendly. Toilet is also clean and smells good.

I went there after receiving reviews that the food was better than Korean food, but the place was filled with people from all over the world enjoying Korean food. It was really delicious.

Tasty Korean food. The salmon sushi set is the best in London

Best raw beef I've had. Was excellent. The seafood pancake was a bit too starchy for my taste

Great meal after visiting Greenwich. 👍 👍 👍

This place is worth a visit if you’re in this part of London. Every dish we ordered was flavoursome and made with good quality ingredients. While we waited for our mains, we were told the kitchen was about to close and then asked if we wanted our bill all before the rest of our order arrived! We would have probably ordered more food if service had been speedier and more attentive.

Amazing food and lovely service, was really happy to discover this place! Vegetarian options and baby friendly too!

Was the best experience! Have gluten-free food options. I'll come back for sure! Thank you!!

Will definitely be coming back here, food was delicious and reasonable. We had the seafood pancake, veggie dumplings, kimchi and two bibimbap. Loads more on the menu. Friendly service. They should be playing K-pop though!

Best Korean food I’ve had in London! Each dish we tried was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic flavours. The ambiance was warm and inviting as well, and the staff super friendly and sweet!

Truly amazing food. Can’t wait to visit again. :)

Food tastes very authentic. I had the seafood stew with the namul set. I also wanted to try the yellowtail sashimi but unfortunately this wasn’t available at the time we went. Staff were friendly but it took a long time for food to be served. We were waiting for at least 40 minutes from when we ordered. It was also difficult to get the attention of staff to pay the bill as we were upstairs and staff were coming and going.

Great authentic food and friendly service, decor could do with improvement

best Korean food, tasty, fresh, high quality - friendly staff. absolutely recommended.

Excellent food and service. A real gem of a restaurant - super Korean menu with classic Korean dishes but also fantastic sushi

It looks like a small restaurant, but it actually has two floors. There are many seats upstairs and the environment is comfortable. I ordered stir-fried mixed vegetables, seafood pancakes, kimbap, fried chicken and bibimbap. The food was exquisite and delicious. Highly recommended!

food was insanely bland. genuinely the worst and most inauthentic “korean” food i’ve ever had. the few flavours there just tasted wrong. the “seafood” pancake was mostly just diced bell pepper & batter. the tteokbokki tasted like it had been stewed in unseasoned blend of tomato, red pepper and onion; simply spicy and bland. also very very cramped and noisy. drinks were nice but they were bottled sooo

Great food and service, loved the Korean pancake

Delicious. This was yummy. Great service too. All perfect. I'll be coming back, for sure.

Great friendly staff and service, authentic tasty food. Will be back.

Simply amazing!! Best kimchi pancake and seafood jjigae in town, highly recommended!

Great food and service. Good find!

Absolutely great!! Really friendly and great food

Ordered sushi set, porridge, rice balls, stone pot rice, beef soup and white rice. It's hot enough and tastes good, not too salty like other restaurants. good service.

Really enjoyed the yellowtail sashimi, of all that was ordered this is the one thing I’d recommend.

The owner is Korean! They said they use only natural seasonings and no chemical seasonings at all, and the taste is truly excellent. It’s better than most restaurants in Korea!! I had the Dolsot bibimbap, and although I wish the bowl had been a little hotter, I was really surprised to find such a great Korean restaurant in the UK. This is a place I want to visit again next time.

Great korean place, good food, big portions, good service and great atmosphere. Menu felt very authentic. The chicken was amazing, as was the Yukhoe (raw beef) 2nd visit, had amazing sashimi.

A great venue for an exhibition

An experience to absolutely do, the best sushi of my life, the bimbimbap are also exceptional, I recommend if you are passing through Greenwich!

I've been to several Korean restaurants, but the soybean paste stew was the most delicious, and the owner and staff were all friendly.

The ambience was very cosy and the food I would definitely recommend!

Great place food & service One of my favourites I would highly recommend

Visited today for the first time. All the food was delicious. The sushi, dumplings and pancakes were amazingly fresh and tasty. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

This is an authentic korean food hidden gem for me. Especially in London, the Korean food are quite commercialized with the K-wave but the few food that I tried during this visit were incredible. Pajeons (pancakes) both kimchee and seafood were fluffy, crispy on the outside and not at all soggy. Kimbap was also amazing. I like this version of kimbap as it doesn't have too much rice and enough ingredients inside. I also had bibimbap, a lot of food but worth the calories. I would love to return and try the rest of the menu.

Easy 5 star review. Restaurant is a nice place, food is excellent, toilets clean and staff friendly and helpful.

We ordered fried dumplings and Korean chilli chicken bites/strips and bimibap for main and every bite was delicious, really nice set up.

A lovely local spot that serves a good variety of Korean dishes. There's quite a few I haven't had before, so I already know I'll be coming back for them! For now I can say the gimbap is delicious and the sashimi is so fresh - and the Miyeokguk is a great & nourishing option to start the meal. All good size portions too. The seats upstairs feel cosy and calm (I'd love to try the cushions next time!), the staff is nice and the service is quick!

Best place for korean food Amazing sushi amazing staff Definitly visiting this place again and again and ag.........

Great Korean food. Cosy environment and friendly staff.

One of the best restaurant in London!

Taste wise the food was amazing. The things that can be improved on is the portion size, there was only 2 small cuts of fish in my stew and in terms of service there was this one waitress who seems not knowledgable about the menu.

Restaurants near Greenwich Park London Naru Spread Eagle Yd, 3 Stockwell St, London SE10 9JN https://maps.app.goo.gl/4BVDZCsuhiVWu8jFA London Naru is a good Korean restaurant near Greenwich Park in London. The price is reasonable and the appearance is not eye-catching. It is mainly eaten by locals, so it is easy to miss. The layout on the second floor is quite simple and comfortable. The restaurant has two floors, but the dining space on the second floor is not large, so it is best to arrive before or after your meal. We ordered raw beef with lettuce, stewed tofu, and oxtail soup. The portion was sufficient, but the bibimbap was not hot enough (if you want the bibimbap to be hotter, you may have to tell the service staff in advance) 20240331E.

Nice Korean restaurant near Cutty Sark that comes with reasonable price. It’s very likely to be missed and you probably won’t notice there is a restaurant here. But once you go in, it’s a cute place and feels cosy. It has two floors but not big room so better to arrive before or after lunch time. I ordered tofu stew (as always) and it comes good portion and with much more varieties of ingredients than other places I’ve been to. However, it is too salty / strong flavour that makes me drink lots of water after. The staff is friendly and helpful.
