Fantastic. Stopped in on the way out of London. Great big portions for BBQ, friendly staff, yummy banchan. Will definitely be going back when I have a craving for some authentic Korean food. Also, noticed private table rooms in the back... Would be great for a family or friends get-together or birthday.

BACKGROUND - I'm from the States, more specifically the west coast aka home to the best Korean restaurants. Since moving to London, I had been having great difficulty finding authentic Asian cuisines (Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, etc.). After being let down at Jee Cee Neh on the same block, I decided to give You Me a try, given the favourable reviews. PROS - Very comfortable, intimate and inviting space. Greeted warmly when we stepped in and immediately had a table cleaned up for us. The menu had pictures for EACH item, making the process of deciding which item to get extremely hard because well shit, I wanted everything. My date and I finally narrowed it down to an order of the large dumplings, spicy black bean sauce with noodles and the oxtail soup. We were blown away. The "large dumplings" weren't really "dumplings" per se, but actually hot fluffy buns filled with a generous amount of yummy pork and veggie filling, served with an equally yummy (soy sauce/vinegar/hint of red pepper) dipping sauce. It was such a good deal as well for those suckers. For about £6, you get 6 large hot and fluffy buns. That alone could be a meal but that was filed under "appetizers" in their menu. The spicy black bean noodles was done perfectly, I don't know what else to say about that except the noodles were fresh and the sauce was just so freaking good. The oxtail soup was not bland, but just a sip of it will let you know they have stewed it for a long time. The soup was no instant bouillon type of nonsense. It was the real deal. The soup was served with complimentary Korean rice. Another HUGE PRO - Complimentary refills on your BAN CHAN. That's right, not only did we get more banchan (the side dishes they serve you to refresh your palate) here than at Jee Cee Neh, they immediately restocked our banchan, free of charge when we ran out. How awesome is that? That alone would make me come back to try their dishes but will everything going to fabulously, I would be crazy NOT to go back. CONS - Absolutely none. I was so pleased with the quick service, the amazing food for great prices, and the portions (above average!). Shoot, even the bathrooms were really clean. Everything was so great. POINTERS - You Me kicks Jee Cee Neh's hind quarters out of the bush ..........yup. Pictures to come!

Delicious Chinese and Korean food and really friendly service. I had jajangmyun (noodles in blackbean sauce) jambong (spicy seafood soup), and tansuyuk (sweet & sour crispy pork). Everything was clean and tasty and the portions were good, too. I've lived in Korea for a number of years and been to lots of Korean-Chinese restaurants, so I was truly impressed with how authentic everything tasted; it was like being back in Korea! There's seating in the front and private rooms in the back, where you can have a party and use the "noraebang" or private singing-room (like karaoke). There's also Korean-style barbeque you can cook at the table. Some food, a glass of soju, and a bit of singing always makes for a fun night with friends :) I'll definitely be going back - Cheers.

Good service, good ambiance, altho smaller than i thought. Spicy garlic squid was fantastic, but we've had better japchae. The seafood pancake was good. Price for 2 wt beer and tip around £40

Another successful trip to Seoul-on-Thames, as I like to call New Malden. This time to the homely You and Me restaurant which seats about 16 and is adorned with photos of a female member of staff stalking various Premier League players. As you'd expect they have a signed Ji-Sung Park shirt proudly framed on the wall, but they have Mr. C. Ronaldo's shirt too. Good work football-made Korean girl! We paid our visit on a Sunday and without cash in our pocket. In New Malden the combination of these two severely limits your choices, but fortunately You Me open on Sunday evenings and are happy to take cards. Our choice of meal was Belly Pork BBQ, assorted vegetables starter and a tofu stew. The BBQ was a smelly success, with gorgeous BBQ sauce and some nice Kimchi to go alongside. The equipment was old-school but the staff were delightfully polite and helpful, making the meal go very well and leaving us with smiles on our faces. You Me is a solid, friendly choice for Korean in SW London. Not as pretty as Cah Chi or as authentic as Jee Cee Ne, but still worthy of four stars.

As I was in the famous 'Korea-town' of New Malden tonight, I decided to continue my education in Korean food. After looking at the windows of several Korean restaurants on Burlington Road, I settled on Me You as having the best local reviews up in the window. The atmosphere was like a local family restaurant with no rush to turn tables over. Although the waitresses didn't speak good English, I was eventually able to get the advice I was seeking on the food. It helped that the menu had a picture of every dish available. I was also impressed that the waitress taking my order gently suggested that 3 dishes might be too much for even a greedy pig like me! And she was right as the portions were big. I started with the Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake). This was lovely - crispy on the outside with small bits of seafood and spring onion. I also had a bowl of seafood with noodles in a spicy soup - I think it was called koppongi. I was startled to find not just a mussel in its shell but also whelks still in their shell in the soup - proves that the seafood was fresh and not frozen! The soup was spicy enough to wake up the tastebuds I'm starting to get a feel for Korean food after a few visits to Korean restaurants. Their food philosophy is the opposite to the Japanese, which rely on few flavours and ingredients but each flavour is distinct and obvious. On the other hand, Korean food is a whole melange of everything thrown together - meat, seafood, vegetables, flavourings. Even bibimbap, which is served with all the ingredients in separate piles in the bowl, must be all mixed together and coalesced before you tuck in. I enjoyed my visit here and have spotted a few dishes I would like to return and try.
