New Malden is having many Korean restaurants but KJ offered also Japanese food which fit our need. The tempura is just awesome and sashimi are fresh. We all enjoy the food here

Wonderful lunch for 15 (not including service charge). They gave me complimentary side dishes which were lovely too!!

It's 1st time I've been to kJ since the pandemic and the sashimi meal I had was delicious I was lucky enough to sit down next to someone who is having the same meal and we chatted about our selection and really enjoyed the authentic Japanese meal. I would recommend this restaurant for sushi and sashimi they are prepared well, tasty and it's beautifully presented

I was a little skeptical to visit after reading reviews but a Korean friend recommended this restaurant to me so I decided to go with my friend and my daughter for lunch. So glad we went! Lovely service from the young man working Weds afternoon. Food was delicious, portions very generous! When I asked for a small spoon for my daughter the waiter bought over a kids cutlery set, very much appreciated. We ordered two bento boxes and an udon set with sushi, we were so full! We requested a takeaway box for our leftovers and this was given to us with no problems. Really happy to recommend KJ and looking forward to coming back again soon.

If you’re deciding between different Korean places in New Malden, and are considering this restaurant, then just go with it, the food is excellent and you won’t regret your choice. The Korean dishes are authentic and served in good quantities with lovely ‘banchan’ (sides) and rice. Portions are good, and the Japanese selection including sushi is of a good quality and a nice bonus.

Another day, another soup. Very good location. It was nice and quiet inside. The service was good and the ladies were friendly.

Love the foods and the decorations in the restaurant! Staffs male very friendly but the lady she’s should be more smiling. Anyway it’s all good. foods was good value abd tasty!

We wanted to go Ktown bbq but the wait time was 2hrs and we really need food to eat so we searched and ended up at KJ restaurant. Our expectation wasn’t high but we’re not disappointed because the food was delicious and especially the Spicy and sweet chicken and the Kimchi soup was delicious and spicy
