Haru Resturant - Kingston upon Thames

Eating was decent, tasty, but nothing too special. pajeon and dakgangjeong were probably the highlights of eating. limited banchan given, I was on places that were more for less, but still delicious overall. service friendly server and polite, we went on a quiet Wednesday, so that the dame was alone. atmosphere quiet and intimate eating experience. there is a section in the back where people sat on the floor with floor level tables.

Eat well! I recommend the sitting area at the back. more friendly waiter and could all the dishes I wanted to make vegetarian!

Pay cash no service charge. Pay card pay service charge. Quick service and good food. Kimchi pancake was tasty and not greasy. Toilet is outside and there’s only one, no separate toilets for different gender.

A cosy place that felt like home. *check bottom for update* Rice was under cooked where it was still hard in the middle of each grain and there was traces of soil on the lettuce leaves. You have to order sides for most of the food. We were missing side dishes on the second order, lucky we were full so we didn't ask for it. We were given plastic chopsticks while a large group of senior citizens who came 20 minutes after we were settled down was served with metal chopsticks. Note: there wasn't seating for us as we were a group of 7+ and wanted to sit together for dinner. Throughout the meal, the senior citizens was served, while we were ignored so we had to go to the till ourselves. I presume it was because the two waitresses spoke basic English so they were more confident in serving Korean customers. The restroom was apart from the restaurant at the back and was just one unisex small cubicle. They were also missing self grills, the beauty of Korean restaurants. Update Came back during the day to see if the service had improved, and it did considerably. Food was cooked well, and the host was very friendly. We were all given metal chopsticks and frequently asked if we wanted refills on our sides. Would definitely recommend this restaurant during the day.

Came across this place after visiting a local acupuncture, we were not really greeted when we walked in but she guided us to take a seat. We sat right at the back as there were seating areas to sit on the floor and eat, where you can order online via a QR code. We really enjoyed the grilled eel dish highly recommend and the seafood pancake. Unfortunately, we didn’t like the beef bibimbap.
