Korean food

A craving for good (and nearby) Korean food, brings me to start my search on the internet. I find loads of Korean restaurants in London but went through reviews to narrow down those located in South London. Turns out New Malden is full of Korean restaurants and it was quite closeby for us if we drove. Quite a few of them were shut on Sundays though. Found one that was opened and had good reviews i.e. Jee Cee Neh http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/venue/2%3A1095/jee-cee-neh.
So we called our friends to join us, and off we went. 

Upon arriving at Burlington road, we noticed that there were loads of korean restaurants and grocery shops..

Walking into the restaurant, we spot quite a few koreans...JACKPOT! 

We ordered the korean pancake (very tasty, and served piping hot)


The condiments.. Think this was some sort of barley? 

  Kim chi cabbage
  Pickled carrots and radish

We also ordered a portion of sol bul go gi (i.e. marinated beef) ...
 A portion of marinated pork
 Giant cabbage in our kim chi soup
 Kim chi soup boiling...
 Mmmm... kim chi soup READY!

The food was very nice, and food was served quite fast. Service was abit slow, and it was quite hard getting their attention for refills of tea as we were sat behind a pillar. I enjoyed the tea which had a distinct flavour to it which was quite different to the japanese green tea we were used to. Mmmm...very nice dinner all in all. It cost around gbp16 per person.Will definitely be back for more..

I did pop into the Korean grocery shop just next to the restaurant to get myself some korean tea though, just to tie me over till our next visit!
