Sorabol

Sorabol has been feeding New Malden's Korean community for over 15 years (it used to be called Asadal, if you're wondering why the old-timers still call it that). Right on the high street, it's one of the most accessible Korean spots in K-Town — no trek required. The banchan spread is generous, the BBQ beef sizzles at your table, and there's more choice for vegetarians than most Korean restaurants offer. The royal galbi jjim — slow-cooked beef rib with dates, chestnuts, and ginseng — is the dish to order if you want something beyond standard BBQ. **Local's Tip:** Good for groups and Korean BBQ beginners. If you want the full tabletop grill experience without venturing off the high street, this is your spot.
