  We were recommended this place by my bf's Korean colleague when she found out I am from near New Malden so I was very keen to try it.
  
  We arrived at around 1230 on Sunday and it was already full (which I imagine could always be a risk owing to post-church eating but it was Chinese New Year so maybe it was especially busy. You can't book unless it's a larger party). We repaired to a Wetherspoons down the road and I read the Wikipedia article about Korean Chinese food which was really interesting. Basically Chinese immigrants in Korea adapted their dishes to Korean tastes and ingredients and despite many of those immigrants later having to leave Korea it has persisted as a favourite food much like takeaway Indian or pizza there. This exodus has, interestingly, led to some of the more authentic Korean Chinese food being outside Korea.
  
  We drastically over ordered and unfortunately the server did not intervene to stop this. Luckily the food is not expensive but it was sad to see so much go to waste and it wasn't clear whether takeaway was an option, we didn't ask though.
  
  We'd ordered a range of dishes because, armed with my new found Wikipedia knowledge, we wanted to try all the classics. We had
  - Fantastic fried dumplings, these are a must try. One plate is quite a lot (I think 8)
  - Sweet and sour pork and chicken, both very good
  - Chilli fried chicken - this is basically the classic Sichuan dish, which I love
  - Black bean noodles, a must try
  - Spicy seafood noodle soup. Sadly this came out last and no one was keen for much when we'd already had so much food; they also didn't bring bowls so it was awkward to share. Nice peppery taste but wasn't my fave overall, but perfect for a wintry day.
  - Glass noodles - my sister loved these. They remind me of my childhood when I went to a Korean friend's house for dinner and thought these were the coolest possible form of carbohydrate
  
  You can get a lunch selection of three dishes - the 'medium' size is MORE than enough for two so I presume the small version is very likely big enough for just one person. We had three of these between five and it was way way way too much food. To be honest if there's say 4 of your I would say order one of each of the first four dishes above (max medium size), and maybe a soup to share, then go from there.
  
  Banchan was free and the most Korean part of the meal, although I think Koreans specifically eat yellow pickled radishes with Chinese food.
  
  Overall this is fantastically tasty comfort food, worth the effort to try and I look forward to my next visit.

  Whoohoo! Korean-chinese food in London! Well, a suburb of London.  All in all, very good, and well priced. Just wish it were closer to my house.
