Hamgipak - London

When I moved to London nearly 10 years ago, I was so homesick I made a trip out to New Malden and found Hamgipak on the high street which was so good.

The food at this restaurant is delicious, and the service is top-notch. You'll feel very welcome dining here.

This place is really really welcoming and at least as far as my experience went is weirdly serene and calming.

The dining experience was fantastic, the food was incredibly delicious. I tried the Korean BBQ beef and pork dishes as well as the kimchi pancake, which were all very tasty. It was a great experience to watch the food being cooked right in front of us. The prices were surprisingly affordable, considering the generous portions we received. It was a pleasant surprise.

The restaurant was lovely with a good atmosphere, and it was not too crowded on a Saturday night. They had a beautiful selection of dishes. The only downside was that they could have been more generous with their portion of kimchi, but at the end of the day, it's just pickled cauliflower. The service was great as well, with the waitress standing next to our table to cut and serve the meat for us. They do charge a 12.5% service fee, but the staff worked hard. The prices for alcohol were a bit high, but come on, they're not in Fulham or Chelsea. The food seemed authentic, as the restaurant was run by a Korean lady. Overall, it was a nice dining experience and I recommend giving them a try.
