Nice Korean Restaurant

Went out for lunch last Saturday for my friend's birthday. Original plan was to go to a Japanese restaurant but not really sure if there's one in New Malden. Drove through the high street, saw Yo Sushi and a few seconds later, drove past YAMI. Looked at each other and said...should we go there instead? To be honest, we've dined at Yo Sushi for a couple of times now, nice japanese cuisine but we wanted to try something new. Off to Yami we went.

On the menu being explained by the Korean staff (in English)...all he really did was to read the things in the book. Almost about to say "yes i know how to read!"..being well-mannered I decided not to. Just nodded constantly. I also felt like dining with Oprah Winfrey as he really probed us with lots of questions!!!

Ordered deep fried battered prawns(no cruelty to animals tho) for starters; as most Korean restaurants do, had 5 plates of sorts as freebies(some are really spicy); Grilled chicken and grilled eels...yes, eels!! plus purple coloured rice for the mains. They all tasted really nice, the food was just right! No too filling and really delicious! Didn't have time for desserts as our parking ticket almost run out...besides, i don't want the Korean staff to read the menu again for me.

Most impressed by the retractable exhaust thing that sucks most of the smoke during grilling. Also noticed this small button attached to the wall, don't know what this is for really. Didn't have the guts to press as the Korean staff might explain it again by reading on the manual in English!

YAMI: 8/10
