My friend and I went to have lunch here on Friday and loved it!
We had Japche and Prawn Dumplings as starters and Kimchee on the side. As main dishes we had chosen Galbijjim and Beef Bibimbap.
It was also a great place to meet for the first time because even tho it was 6pm and had a steady customer flow it was nice and quiet.
Once we come back to London we'll definitely stop by at Naru's again :) -

Naru serves great tasting authentic Korean food, the bibimbap and kimchi here were amazing. The menu has a huge variety from jigae, kimchi pancake, bulogi and Korean bbq to noodle dishes and rice dishes. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the food came quick and fresh, and the prices were reasonable without any service charge added. By far one of my favourite Korean restaurants in London.

Naru is a small and simple restaurant serving up some homey and classic Korean dishes.
My friend and I made a reservation for a Friday night at 6:30PM. By 7PM, the restaurant was packed. The menu has a great selection of appetizers, meats, soups, rice and noodles etc., which all feature some homey and familiar Korean dishes.
My friend and I got the japchae, teokbokki, seafood pancake and the bibimbab. The seafood pancake was pretty big. There were three portions and I liked that it was hot and crispy on the edges when it was brought to our table. The bibimbab was pretty flavorful but I wished there was more beef in it. The teokbokki was delicious! It's perfectly spiced and tasted like it was homemade. I loved the cabbage that went with this dish too because it had soaked up all the flavors from the sauce. The japchae was probably my favorite out of everything. It was so delicious with some earthy flavors, colorful vegetables and shredded egg whites on top. The noodles had a new chew to it too!
For beverages, my friend and I both got some Asahi. You can't go wrong with beer and Korean food!
The total bill came out to be ~£50 for everything, which is definitely more pricey than what I'm used to. I wouldn't say the portions were particularly large either. Overall, Naru isn't the cheapest place for Korean food but it's a great place for some tasty, homey and well prepared Korean food. I'll be back!
