Quality dining experiences in Kingston Upon Thames

“Exceptional quality and service! From the moment I walked into Richmond Kitchens, the whole experience was a pleasure. The end result is a beautiful kitchen that’s genuinely beyond what I expected. They use Leicht kitchens, which are absolutely stunning — top quality and fully bespoke to your space. There’s also a huge range of worktops and appliances to choose from, so it really feels tailored to you. Matt’s design was brilliant. He made the most of the space and adapted the plan seamlessly to fit with the building work, including new windows and doors. The installation was on time, done to perfection and any small follow-up bits were sorted quickly and efficiently. I spoke to a few other local suppliers before deciding but it was the quality and level of service that drew me to Richmond Kitchens and they completely delivered.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary, and had a great experience. Jasmine in particular was very helpful, she made sure to check in and ask if we were ready to order anything else regularly which was very helpful as we were there for bottomless pancakes! Very personable and friendly waitress, made us feel so welcomed! Thank you Jasmine for making our evening feel special!!!”

“I went to Giggling Squid – Kingston upon Thames for my birthday. It wasn’t busy as it was a weekday, and I absolutely loved it! The staff were so polite, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was calm with beautiful décor — lovely colours, chandeliers, and paintings. Everything was very clean and stylish, including the toilets. The seafood dishes were delicious, and although I had the lamb shank which wasn’t my favourite, it was still tasty. Perfect place for nice birthday photos and a great dining experience!”

“I recently had a wonderful takeout experience from Chicken World. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection with a crispy coating and tender meat. The wings were equally delicious, with well-balanced flavors. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness. The owner’s personal touch and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Chicken World for their mouthwatering chicken meal that will keep you coming back for more!”

“We visited here on a Saturday around 3pm for a celebration dinner. We booked in advance for inside seating. There is outside seating which is perfect on a sunny date as right next to the river. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations for food and drinks. We all opted for three courses, they do have weekend set Menus which is worth a look. All the meals arrived in perfect timing, they gave enough time between each meal so it wasn’t rushed. Everything was cooked beautifully and a really enjoyable meal. We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Lovely pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and always ready to help, offering great recommendations for drinks. The food is delicious, with generous portions and plenty of flavour. There’s a wide variety of beers and other liquors to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. A great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable time!,”

“The food was brilliant with lots of vegetarian choices! The waiters Joseph, Othniel and a Turkish girl, provided excellent advice, marvellous service and good conversation. Bravo. Made the whole experience very special.”

“I specifically wanted to compliment your door staff. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they are the main reason my friends and I chose to enter the venue. Their professionalism and positive attitude made a fantastic first impression. Thank you for providing such a great experience.”

“Great service and if you can get the items you want in the kids sizes and in the sale then you're winning!”

“Great food, great service. Recommend all locals to try”

“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 rate 5 star for the service as all the staff are fantastic, 5 stars for the lovely cakes, but sadly, only a 1 star for the atmos/ambience because the new owners, I believe, decided to remove the beautiful piano that I used to adore playing there. Also it was linked to constant background piano notes, cleverly playing out of the piano while no one played it. That really was quite relaxing and unique whilst enjoying the food and cakes, and after my weekly office job , I would look forward to my visits there at the weekends to unwind and sometimes play.. A great hub and centrepiece has been ripped out of the heart of the cafe. It blended in very well and also was a fine backdrop against the old churchyard opposite through the tall windows. I just was preparing my Xmas carols repertoire and some more new lyrics when I visited there last Saturday, but my piano was gone!”

“Johnathan (hope I spelt it correctly) was incredibly helpful and attentive to me when looking for a futon. He was super patient and so knowledgeable . Serving me while making time for all other customers and kindly held something for me to come back for later . Very happy with our purchase . 10/10 service!”

“Team were unable to process my free reward order but went out of way to make it a good experience. Senior management need to support and get their click and collect working! I am staking up rewards here and you are missing out on custom.”

“The pizza was great quality, but the wing’s especially were amazing! Due to delayed delivery, they added an extra drink which we really appreciated. They were very friendly and patient on the phone too :)”

“We are sushi lovers and always looking for a great sushi places. This place is very local for us, so we decided to give it a try. As we understood place opened recently, food quality is amazing, lots of ingredient and everything is super fresh! As started we took aubergine (on the photo), just delicious and then we went for rolls only, 4 in total and I cannot tell which one was better, all amazing. Guys, please don’t get worse with the time. Please keep the same food quality. Can’t recommend this place enough and looking forward to come back.. tomorrow ;)”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Finally a little Italy in Kingston, vintage and beautiful design, the staff is friendly and professional. They make fresh pasta, cannoli, croissant and much more with amazing taste! You all must try the kimbo coffee! I love it, very good guys!!”

“We have used Creed Miles several times now at our Surrey based office to include carpeting, new chairs, decorating and fire wall partitioning. On each occasion the Sales & project Manager, Nick Hunter and all of the Creed Miles Team have been helpful, supportive and quick to respond. Always good with alternative suggestions or ideas to counteract a challenge. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Nick or anyone from the Team. Great service all round.”

“Delicious food, quick service, central location (hidden away). We’ve had the carbonara, spinach & ricotta ravioli, crab ravioli, black spaghetti with seafood*, lemon & prawn linguine*, black seafood risotto and wild boar ravioli. All were super tasty. Also the feta with honey is so good. Great selection of juices, smoothies, coffee. Delighted to realise Nakos is now open in the evenings for dinner too! And dog friendly. (*see photos). Nakos has become my favourite place to eat in Kingston!”

“Kevin and his son Adam are the best. Did an immaculate job with my kitchen 9 years ago and never had any problems. Recently had a faulty hinge and no questions asked they replaced it for free after 9 years! Best service ever. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough, still get lots of compliments for our kitchen especially the custom built floor to ceiling cabinets!!”

“Ordered this evening for the first time and wow, even my partner who is Italian agrees it’s one of the best we’ve ever tasted”

“Eleena's is wonderful. Glad we found this quaint little place. Only in London for a few days and only wish we would have found this sooner. The food was beautifully seasoned, the service was a delight and just an all around great place. Can we get a carbon copy of this great restaurant back in the US?”

“Wow, the most delicious feta mini quiche ever! What a find! So much to choose from beautifully presented sweet and savory produce too. Lovely smiling staff. A wonderful surprise find for morning coffee with "pastries". Good value for money and quick service. We ate in, relaxing at the window bar seating, happily watching the rain! Highly recommended ( take away available too). JM”

“My mum and I came into the Kingston branch to gain information and book an appointment. We met the lovely Anne who gave us a lot of useful information and advice! Thank you Anne!”

“Lucy was so kind and helpful! Her honest advice really made a difference when we were choosing our sofa for the lounge. The order even arrived earlier than the estimated lead time, which was a lovely surprise. We’re very happy with our purchase and have just returned to the store to order more furniture for other rooms — and we were delighted to be assisted by Lucy again!”

“Best fish and chips around, great quality, friendly staff”

“Really great Chinese takeaway. Much better than some of the other Chinese takeaways in the area that I've tried, and at a competitive price. I'll definitely be back as long as quality stays consistent.”

“Upon my first visit a few weeks ago I can honestly say the food was 10/10. I was met with a very warm welcome from the staff who were also very friendly. Very tasty food and good sized portions. Would highly recommend!”
