Quick dinner in Kingston Upon Thames

“Wow! An absolutely perfect neighbourhood Italian. Delicious, creative food with wonderful in-season ingredients, friendly staff and really good value for money. Wouldn’t change a thing. Already looking forward to my next visit”

“After an amazing trip to Japan, where I fell in love with the food, I found Atariya Foods Kingston in Kingston, London—a true Japanese gem. Their fresh tuna and salmon are perfect for making my own sushi, and the skilled chefs create authentic dishes. We’re lucky to have it! Please open a branch near Sutton Station, Sutton High Street, Sutton, London. I bought KOSHIHIKARI sushi rice, sashimi set, Mizkan vinegar, and Kaitatuya seaweed to make my own sushi, plus S&B Torokeru Curry Sauce for katsu curry. I enjoyed the Tuna Blast Sushi, Yakitori, Edamame, sweet Daifuku, Goma Wakame Salad, and fresh Tuna and Salmon Lover Sushi. The Spicy Salmon Onigiri was delicious—please add a spicy salmon roe version like in Japan!”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“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!”

“Arrived unannounced with 7 people and a dog, and they catered with no questions. GM came over to meet the pooch. Maria was super attentive and our fresh, oven-baked pizzas were out in 7 minutes. A brilliant overall experience for a saturday lunch! Will be back.”

“We had a great mother's Day lunch here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly to our large group with young children. Food has a very homemade feel to it. The seafood tagliatelle was fantastic and so were the cocktails. Rissotto and steak dishes left much to be desired. Nonetheless - overall a good experience”

“Almost every time I’ve been there, I have been given something for free. The other day I bought two bao buns and they gave me an extra two for free, this has happened more than once. Today I received a free packet of Ramen. There are so many more examples of this that I can’t put it into this review 20/10 recommend this place. Has a massive variety and at a reasonable price. Awesome staff and good service!”

“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.”

“Quick, convenient, and well stocked, especially within a petrol station! Quality hasn't been compromised whatsoever, just your, above average, Waitrose you are already used to, but just a mini-me!”

“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.”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“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 :)”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Perfect for a traditional fish and chips experience. Great portion size and lovely owners too! I love the crispy shrimps as well.. Will definitely be back ❤️”

“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!”

“Ranya Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The service is attentive, respectful, and genuinely caring without ever feeling rushed. The food is absolutely delicious, and my favorite dish was the Pacha Tashreeb. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, with amazing depth of taste. The bread soaked up the broth beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. You can really tell it’s made with care and authentic tradition. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and ideal for families or casual dining. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend Ranya Restaurant, especially if you want to try an outstanding Pacha Tashreeb. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Cafe Marsa Charcoal Grill + Wafflemeister offers a delightful culinary experience. The spicy hummus provided a flavorful start, while the omelette and shakshuka showcased a perfect blend of textures and spices. The veggie breakfast was a refreshing and well-balanced choice. Special mention goes to the impeccable service, adding a welcoming touch to the overall dining pleasure.”

“Excellent food with a balance of spice and the fresh taste of the meat, especially spring lamb. Kingfisher and nice people there.”

“Been a regular here for years and you’re probably thinking why I haven’t left a review. Because the FOOD always gets the best of me and it’s all I can think about. It sends me to another dimension eating their food. Highly recommend their chicken tikka biriyani as it’s one of a kind and one you will not want to miss. Cheeky bugger even comes with a veggie curry which is just the cherry on top. Takeaway is family friendly as well - everytime I come with my kids, one of the chefs always gives them sweets or a chocolate bar. Lovely stuff from the team at Alamin and thank you for your service.”

“I've tried many Chinese takeaways in the area, and without a doubt, Wan's is the best! The food is always piping hot, packed with flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. Every dish tastes carefully prepared – from the crispy spring rolls to the rich, perfectly balanced sweet and sour chicken. Their portions are generous, the prices are fair, and they never miss a detail with the order. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is always quick, whether I'm collecting or getting delivery. I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else now — it's become my go-to for a treat after a long week. If you’re looking for a Chinese takeaway that never disappoints, you won’t find better than here.”

“Both the pizza and cookies are amazing! Way better than the others - you probably want the cookies when they are hot & gooey so maybe eat them first? Or only order cookies then you don't have to make a choice!”

“I come in everyday and Omar and Sheyla have always been so nice and helpful. Best coffee shop in Kingston by a mile thanks to those two!”

“The best Chinese takeaway in the area. We only ever order from them. The Monks Vegetables is a great option for Veggies!”

“I popped in today to book a party for my daughter. Incredibly friendly, a very nice atmosphere and a much needed facelift for the place. The fridges are full, looks very welcoming and more like a cafe with pottery. We are very excited to be going tomorrow, will update the review after that”

“I been going there for years and the food never lets me down best pizza in area for sure”

“Wow wow wow!!! I used to come here 20 years ago and I am so happy to see that they are still in business. Has anyone lasted this long in Kingston? The wraps are still divine! Highly recommend the chicken garlic wrap ❤ Wonderful staff, go and you will not be disappointed”
