Midam Restaurant

I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, everything was so perfect. My lady and I had beef, pork and chicken, and all of them were just too good, the beef was cooked in a soup and was so succulent, the pork was nice and crispy, accompanied with rice and vegetables, and the chicken, omg, the chicken was layered with honey and spring onion glaze, every bite was heavenly. The guy who served us was so funny in a polite but jokey way. He also gave us complementary Kim chi and Korean tea.. Top food Amazing flavours Genuine happy & caring service Guys, treat your ladies here 👌😏

I could tell this place was the real deal as soon as I walked in—most of the customers were Korean, which is always a good sign. The side dishes were absolutely delicious. We ordered the tteokbokki, samgyetang, and the pork and squid BBQ. The portions were generous, but we managed to finish everything because it was just that good. We also didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served, which was a nice bonus. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the New Malden area. I’ll definitely try the other dishes when I come back.

There aren’t loads of lunch set options during the day, but the flavour and portion sizes really stand out. The beef short ribs were rich and tender, and the bits of tendon still attached to the bone had a great texture and were full of flavour. The kimchi tofu soup had that perfect mix of spicy, salty and tangy — totally moreish. The black bean noodles had that classic Korean taste, proper traditional. The spicy stir-fried squid had a great kick and nice wok hei, though the squid itself could’ve done with a bit more marinating. The spicy chicken was full of flavour too, but the meat wasn’t quite as tender as it could’ve been, and the sauce was a bit on the watery side. With all the complimentary Korean side dishes thrown in, it was more than enough for four adults — we were absolutely stuffed!

The food and service are always top-notch. The kimchi jigae is always a comfort and the fair prices are always a great way to enjoy Korean food at a reasonable cost. Will come back soon! Thank you Midam!

The restaurant has had a redesign and has a new owner. The food is great and haven't found value anywhere like this outside of Korea. After living in Korea for many years, this is the closest thing that compares in terms of both taste and value. Highly recommend!

The service is really good here. The waitress here is very friendly, which made the experience another level. I highly recommend the 'spicy seasoned pig ear salad' if you like spicy or 'Guobaorou' sweet and sour pork which is crunchy sweet and sour. The food portion is friendly and they do not charge service charge. Will definitely come again!☺️

One of my favourite Korean restaurants on the New Malden high street. It has such a warm lovely atmosphere and the service was great! I was there last night and I am a friend of the owner. As a mistake, I didn’t realise that a table was reserved and helped seat some customers in the spot. That was completely my fault and Midam has no responsibility with my actions. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend and visit regularly.

The lunch set menus were a really good delal. A main, nice soup and rice for £15. Everything was tasty.

Great little Korean restaurant we went to on nye.... About 20 quid pp inc beer so not bad. Food was great, tasty and the service was informative. Small place, can imagine it getting filled quickly and very aromatic. Ask the waitress what to order of stuck ... Go as experimental as possible. Great place check it out!

This is my favorit place. Highly recomend this restaurant having korean chinese food in new malden

I love Palace in New Malden. it's the 2nd time I've been there now and I can confirm : it totally kicks butt! They have a medium sized menu but it's full of the most delicious looking food. I have never been to Korea but the Palace really does feel like a really authentic Korean restaurant. We ordered the Squid and Pork * (I forget what it was called, sorry, not a good review technique I know!!), which is a hot plate/pot for 2-3 people. They bring a grill to your table on which they place this huge dish of uncooked Squid and thinly sliced pork with 3 types of mushrooms including the yummy Enoki's, and it's all in a lovely chilli sauce. They also have a new on table bbq set up which wasn't there the last time I went and I think they are just growing the bbq menu. The staff are lovely and so sweet and helpful. You get 5 free salad/starter dishes and it's cheap as chips. Our hot pot (which was too big to finish), 1 rice and 2 beers came to £26.50. The only downfall is the ambience, it's more like a cafe that a restaurant so do not come here if you are planning to propose.

Went to Palace last night and had a wonderful meal. It was obvious that most of us were new to Korean food (I was the only Oriental in a group of nine), and the husband came over to explain how the menu worked, and which dishes were favourites among his clientele. I really enjoyed the traditional Korean fried noodles and the chilled glass noodles. The noodles were nice and springy and incredibly smooth. I swear they just slid down my throat the moment I put them in my mouth. The sliced beef ribs in soya sauce was amazing, and easily the best beef I'd eaten in a while. The seafood and kimchi pancakes were a big hit with my group as well. All in all, the bill came up to £27 per person including service and three (alcoholic) drinks per person. I highly recommend the plum wine which I reckon was pretty good value for money at £7 for a 375 ml bottle. We ordered just a little too much, and probably could have done with two less 'starters' but, nevertheless, a fun night out even if my hair and clothes smelt strongly of kimchi after that.

It really breaks my heart. I heard they've changed owners and haven't been back in a while. It just isn't the same! This place used to always bustle with customers but now it's stark empty. The menu has remained the same but it doesn't have the same "magic" as it used to. Oh well, onwards and upwards - time to find the next best thing.

We love these Korean place - great value for money and yummy food plus many side dishes. Would recommend
