Korean BBQ lunch
Cook at your table. Go hungry.

Bingsoo dessert
Shaved ice dessert - the perfect finish

Smaller, more intimate option
New Malden has the largest Korean community in Europe. This is your introduction.
The Experience
Start with Korean BBQ at Jin Go Gae - you cook at your table, surrounded by banchan (side dishes). After lunch, walk off the food by browsing the Korean supermarkets on the high street. Finish with bingsoo (shaved ice dessert) at Cake and Bingsoo Cafe.
Why New Malden?
Since the 1970s, Korean families have made this corner of Southwest London home. The result is some of the most authentic Korean food outside Seoul.
Getting There
New Malden Station is on the main Waterloo line. The high street is a 2-minute walk from the station.
