Time Out has teamed up with tastelondon to offer you a fantastic one month free trial
One of the better Korean restaurants in the New Malden area, Su La has a bright, spacious dining room, an extensive menu, fast and friendly service, and food that’s well above average. Don’t be put off by the slightly dated exterior – inside, everything is clean and modern. Crazy chrome extractor fans dangle from the ceiling like the tentacles of a giant robot octopus. We came at lunchtime and were impressed by the speed with which our food arrived. The searing heat of the beef and chilli broth, which came bubbling in a hot stone bowl, was enjoyable accompanied by a selection of panch’an. Korean families are drawn here by the seafood; the menu includes half a dozen kinds of fish, served dozens of different ways. If you’re in a group, book one of the traditional banquet rooms, hidden away behind paper screens. One criticism: it can be a little hard to know what you’re ordering from the translations on the menu.

Our meal at Su La was delicious. The waitress was friendly, charming and helped us choose enough food to satisfy but not overwhelm, coping with three different dietary requirements in our party.
I had the grilled eel, which was absolutely delicious. My companions had barbequed beef, which they loved.
We had a selection of traditional starters, which provided an excellent opportunity to sample a whole range of flavours.
We were lucky enough to have a small room, with traditional seating and a heated floor, very comfortable.
A four course meal, with drinks, came to just over £20 per head- and was worth every penny.
I also had the impression that the restaurant had very many regular customers- waitresses greeted diners by name. We'll certainly be going back.
Based on the Time Out review we had dinner at Su La. It was great dinner and far exceeded our expectations. The food was honest and very tasty and the service very good. Our waitress made great recommendations and we shared a two set menu's and two BBQ's between four hungry diners. The best thing about the thoroughly enjoyable night was the very modest bill. Highly recommended!
Excellent food and really warm friendly service
