"The lady who runs this modest-looking Korean restaurant in New Malden doesn’t care if the interiors of this homely spot don’t suit your ‘clean girl’ Instagram aesthetic. The pictures of her daughter with footballers are hung up all around the restaurant for her, not you. The food, however, is for everyone. And once you’ve tried it, the only things you’ll have on your mind are the saucy jajangmyeon and when the server will be back with more excellent pajeon. The BBQ grills on each table, the TV that’s constantly on in the corner, and the friendly servers who hand out banchan, smiles, and freebies in the form of fresh fruit or mochi will result in a phone-screen-down kind of meal." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"You Me Korean in New Malden feels like your aunt’s house. If your aunt knows how to make a top-notch Korean meal with everything from perfectly crispy pajeon to obsessively good jajangmyeon. The homely dining room is filled with photos of the owner’s daughter with football players, and regulars visit with their most socially acceptable version of pyjamas or gym clothes that have never seen the gym. If you’re with a big group, make your way to the private dining room at the back, that’s really just a huge table with extra space for sizzling bibimbap and trays of fried garlic prawns." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
"You. Me. Fried garlic prawns. As long as a meal at You Me Korean involves eating the crispy, hazard-warning-red garlic prawns, you’re doing it right. And the warm hospitality at this New Malden spot is just the cherry on top. Once you visit You Me Korean, you’ll be back here twice a month. It suits every mood: a solo meal including jajangmyeon and black bean sauce-stained clothes. Or a round-everyone-up in a private room kind of meal, where pajeon and Korean fried chicken are laid on the table, family-style." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager
"We wouldn’t recommend a place solely on friendly servers. But if we did, we’d recommend this little Korean spot in New Malden to everyone we meet. Plus it serves excellent traditional Korean dishes you won’t find everywhere else. Things like jajangmyeon—a noodle dish topped with thick black bean and onion sauce—that you’ll want once a week, or dak galbi—a spicy stir-fried chicken dish. With a compact but cosy room, it’s ideal for a small group, but if you’re hoping to get a bowl of those noodles all to yourself, it’s worth a solo trip as well." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Someone wise once said that you can cure anything with seafood pajeon and black bean sauce noodles. Yes, that wise person is us. And yes the food at You Me Korean, a Korean spot in New Malden, is actually worth crying about—unlike that emotionally unavailable Hinge date who you’ve convinced yourself you’re in love with. Come for the excellent food and stay for the friendly staff who might just give you an extra big portion of noodles when they see those tears in your eyes." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
