KJ Restaurant

KJ Restaurant at the lower end of New Malden High Street occupies an unusual niche, blending Korean and Japanese menus under one roof. The sushi — nigiri, futomaki, and sashimi sets — is hand-prepared and regularly praised for freshness, while the Korean side runs to bibimbap, japchae, and grilled meats. Grubstance reviewed it as a dependable Korean-Japanese mash-up that rewards repeat visits. Regular customers receive a mug of barley tea on arrival, and the set lunch offers strong value. The decor is modest and the service can be brisk, but the dual cuisine makes it a useful destination across different cravings.
