Gurume Kingston Restaurant in Kingston upon Thames

Reviews

1. Michael Day ★★★★★

   This place changed hands recently (late 2023), so the previous photos and reviews are no longer relevant. It is still a Korean restaurant, now called Yami. It now has Korean BBQ, Sushi, Korean fried Chicken, Bibimbap etc. It does lack some dishes the old place had (no Gimbap or udon soups) but is still good food and inexpensive. £20 for half a fried chicken and Bibimbap.

   I've been to Gurume a few times recently and it has been great each time. The service is very friendly and professional. They do take a little bit longer to prepare the food compared to the other 2 or 3 Korea/Japanese places along the same street, however, they also seem like they're doing things fresh, and not just scooping the food out of a batch that they cooked earlier. This definitely makes them much more consistent with the quality of their food, and its worth the added wait if that's important to you. I'd definitely recommend this for a quick, tasty and filling bite to eat.

   Place has got nice Asian feel, reasonable prices and decent size portions. I had chicken teriyaki with rice and it was OK but not perfect. I would say it needed more spices and more teriyaki sauce.

   Cheap and cheerful, tasty food! Generous portion sizes, had to get a takeaway box for half of my meal. My favourite dish was the assorted pancakes, would definitely come back again next time I am in Kingston!

   I am writing this review with a deep regret, i made the mistake of getting done lunch here and it was unedible. I don't like wasting food and will do my best to eat what i buy but the food i got here the other day was so bad had to dump it. After i ordered, i noticed some microwaving of something in a mug, and after which, itwas emptied into my dish. I asked if the food was microwaved, not sure if the first lady understood and said no. Then the manager said yes and is there a problem with that. For me yes, microwaved good is bland and not fresh. It would not have been issue but it tasted so bad i felt bad for the bin it ended up in. The rice was overly sticky, the teriyaki sauce bland and the chicken stale. Why bother opening a restaurant on the a street filled with competition to serve terrible food, just makes no sense.
