Top 30 Best Restaurant with a heart in New Malden

“This Korean and Japanese restaurant is hidden at the back of the Seoul Plaza 2 shop by New Malden Fountain Roundabout, behind a sliding door. They serve Korean and Japanese food, though we weren't able to have sushi because the sushi chef wasn't there yet (so I assume a different chef for Korean food and different for Japanese food). Delicious well-seasoned food, good portions and very nice peaceful place. We called their mobile number to reserve a table for Sunday lunchtime but when we arrived it was very quiet with only one other table eating there. They do takeaways but don't have any printed takeaway menus, it's just whatever you like from the "full" eat-in menu. Will definitely be back!”

“Real charcoal Chinese BBQ with delicious lamb, beef, chicken skewers, and one of the best Korean rice sausage soups in New malden.”

“It's a nice small Korean restaurant. Not the best at dealing with vegetarians. Has a good local energy with very good lunch time deals! Unbelievable communication system installed to streamline guest to server experience. Lovely decor, with passionate staff!”

“We regularly use Lal akash. Specifically, we collected a takeaway on Tuesday evening. The food was tasty and very well made. The chef was extremely friendly and even made a point of trying to call us to let us know that the food was ready for collection so that it would not become cold. Well worth a visit.”

“Always comes fresh and piping hot delivered by friendly staff. Great offers all the time, too! Thanks guys!”

“Love the Gganpunggi! So juicy and tender. Not too spicy, nor too sweet. LA galbi is on the chewy side, samgyeopsal is good with lettuce and ssamjang. Minimum 2 portions for table top BBQ. Charcoal is used, which is a big plus. Staff are friendly, toilets are clean, tap water is available (as required by law), not too expensive, service charge added to final bill”

“Love this place... Great food and great portions however not to cheap. It has amazing food like pho and spring rolls that are just amazing. Also,the staff are extremely nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend.”

“We had been there for breakfast on January 1st . The food was scrumptious. Coconut chutney was too good. It tasted like homemade coconut chutney which is very hard to find in restaurants . Wonderful ambience. The owners are very friendly. Great place to go with family and friends. If you like traditional South Indian food “Mess” is definitely a go to place. Looking forward to visiting Mess again sometime soon.”

“I had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Food was cooked really well and you get plenty for your money! Service was great and staff were happy to customise dishes/add ingredients. Avocado on the side? No problem. Toast without butter? Sure. Overall, really impressed with Roberto and will be coming back again to visit this little New Malden gem!”

“My boy simply loves this place. Lots of fun and lots of toys and activities!”

“Initially was going to a different restaurant but it was closed and I was starving. As it was takeout only I got the spicy fish cake gimbap which was £5 and came as 6 well filled hand rolls. It was actually spicy and the flavours and texture were phenomenal. If I wasn’t an hour from home I would have ordered more. Will definitely find time to return and try out the other menu options. The staff were nice and service was prompt and if they resume dine in again I’d dig the ambience”

“We saw the place as we were passing and stopped to try it. Probably the best South East Asian restaurant that I’ve had in a long long time. Would definitely recommend! The staff were super helpful and the orders came quick. The starter in the photo (I forgot the name!) was really good!”

“Great salads, sandwiches, gelato, sorbet and coffee. Nice delicatessen selection of Italian meats pasta, biscuits and cheeses. Quietly situated off New Malden High Street. A great place to sit relax and have a natter, either inside or out.”

“We had amazing dinner there tonight absolutely delicious with really generous portions and efficient service . The restaurant was already busy at 7.00pm on a Wednesday I think this shows how good the restaurant is. I'm delighted I have tried this restaurant and all because of their support of a takeaway stall outside that I went there.”

“Excellent hidden gem in New Malden serving up excellent Persian fare by the owner-chef. Service is excellent and the dishes full of flavour. The breads are cooked in a traditional tandoor in the dining hall are as fresh as they come. Highly recommended.”

“the food was delicious and tasty, the place is really cool and the service is excellent! I will definitely come back more often”

“This is one of the best Korean Fried Chicken I had in UK!!! I ordered half half - Original and Soya garlic and it was amazing!! Original was very crispy and soya garlic was very addictive and authentic. The chicken quality was very good and juicy. The radish pickle was also very good. They made it freshly so it is definitely worth waiting especially during busy times.”

“I really like the food here, especially the noodle dishes and the Dumplings which are both made in house. Food is always made fresh when you order it. The portion sizes are huge as well hence good value for money. My favourite is the braised beef noodle soup, try it out!”

“Lovely small family run restaurant. The food came out quickly, so fresh and crispy. Everything seasoned perfectly. If only Imome wasn't so far from Manchester I'd dine here regularly for sure!”

“They gave me a ring to apologise for the delay which was appreciated, and it all arrived well within the JustEat timeframe anyway so there was no need to apologise. The food is very tasty indeed, and I have been given a mountain of food that will easily last 2-3 meals for just over £20. 5 stars”

“Very nice quality kebab, and clean shop. Wide selection on the menu. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap. It's a little bit on the expensive side at £9.00 for a large. But it certainly was tasty! Will be coming here again for sure.”

“Lovely cafe with that all important Aire of feeling like your somewhere different, enjoyable. Good place if you feel you must or should break away from the boring high street chains”

“A lovely little cafe in the heart of Motspur Park. Staffed by the students of the local Blossom school as part of their work experience, this is a recommended place for a hot drink and something to eat.”

“Popped by recently and was nicely surprised. Found the prices to be reasonable and the decor done tastefully. Food (sourdough toastie) was nice and well presented and the coffee was great. Pleasant local coffee shop feel and even had some nice houseplants for sale too. Will definitely be returning”

“After trying out all Korean restaurants in New Malden, this is probably my favourite. Great variety of Korean dishes that are made so well and fast and friendly service. The price has gone up by a lot but I guess it’s because of the Food cost increase in general…”

“When I called the manager because I missed up the delivery he went out of his way to help me. The delivery driver was very polite and the food was delicious.”

“Great local pub! Bar staff are great, food and drink selection is amazing and so reasonably priced for the area!! The beer garden is great in the summer too- loads of space, outdoor TV and always got a great playlist going.”
