This family-run restaurant in the Korean expat enclave of New Malden is a great place to sample the cuisine, with “tasty, varied dishes” including pajoen (green onion pancake) and mandu (dumplings), served by “charming staff who are happy to educate you”. “The wine is also relatively inexpensive for London”.

“A great surprise: very interesting food choices and truly helpful staff” – New Malden is known for its large Korean expat community, and this family-run Korean BBQ (relocated in 2023 from its former location) makes a good place to discover the cuisine.

Summary

A new location for an old restaurant: this latest incarnation of a family-run business opened in New Malden – serving the sizable local Korean expat community – in spring 2023. Grace Dent of The Guardian visited in May 2023 and was a fan of its “simple yet delicious” cooking – “Cah Chi isn’t trying to change the world; it’s just quietly representing skilful Korean cooking and creating a haven for hungry passers-by”.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
