Dol sat bibimbap is solid, yet not in a stone pot. Mandu were greasy, but tasty. Would have given four stars but the service was way too slow.

To be honest, i would give out no star if I could. I have been to Korea twice, and i can tell the food is not authentic at all, at least the ones i ordered, which are the deep fried chicken starter and a beef rib stew as main. The chicken tastes like junk food, like you got in a fast food place for 3 dollars. The crisp is not what they usually use in Korea. The beef rib is huge, can they just cut it in smaller piece? The plate for the stew is so shabby, a plain, white ceramic plate, which is not what they use for a stew. And this stew, goes without rice, charged 14 pounds.
But the most ridiculous thing of this «restaurant» is that they have 12% service charge. Com’on, all they did is adding tap water one time. And 12%? Excuse me? Am i eating at a fancy reataurant or am i in the States now?
Three of us, spend 42 pounds, eating Korean fast food. Sorry i don’t get it.
And no thank you, never again.

I highly recommend Naru to anyone looking for good quality, moderately priced Korean food in central London! There’s always space, the staff are friendly and the food is brilliant.

We came here for a friend’s birthday. I had the bibimbap which was the nicest thing I ate there– the rice was toasted round the edges but could have done with a bit more chilli sauce! I also ordered the tobboki (rice cakes) which was a disappointing portion. At almost £8 a portion, there were about 5 rice cakes and the (already small) plate was bulked up with vegetables. The Pae jeon (seafood pancake) was also disappointing. The pancake wasn’t crispy, and was really thick and tasted like uncooked batter in the middle. To top it all off, they charged us £1 a head for cake service– on top of service charge– which I think is a really mean spirited thing to do. Towards 10.30 they started hurrying us to settle the bill and leave. Unacceptable. The bibimbap was good, although I don’t think it’s enough to make me want to come back.

This is a terrific, affordable little Korean place right in the heart of London. The Bi Bim Bap is delicious, as is the Korean BBQ beef. All the dishes are seasoned well, and served by a friendly staff. There is also a nice, laid-​back vibe about the place, which makes it a far cry from the many food-​mills or over-​themed, overpriced, underwhelming restaurants in the area. I’ve eaten Korean cuisine in a lot of cities, and outside of the NA West Coast, NYC, Toronto, and Asia itself, you’re going to have a hard time finding better quality at this price. Grab your metal chopsticks and dig in!

I stopped by here for lunch because it was super close to my residence, and I’m happy I did! The location isn’t all that great since it’s on a corner and doesn’t get the best publicity, which might explain why it wasn’t that crowded when I visited.
I ordered the tofu bibimbap (no egg) and ended up really liking it. The tofu tasted great and had a good texture, and I enjoyed the vegetables/​rice (mixed grain) as well. The vegetables did seem a bit oily, though, hence the minus one star. But overall, a solid meal, and for a reasonable price too — I believe I paid around 7 pounds for the bibimbap, which was more than enough for lunch.

Great lunch spot.
We were looking for a place to eat lunch before a matinée play. We were looking for a place that was air conditioned. Finally, we found Naru. Air conditioned and they serve beer.
We had 2 beef lunch specials. Both were good. We also shared a Seafood Pancake — this was very good.

Decent, but underwhelming. There’s better food to be had in the area, and certainly better in London. I’d go again, but wouldn’t make a special trip.

We had a delicious meal at Naru, despite difficulties using their incredibly slippery metal chopsticks!
We started with the ke sal gu jeoul pan which was supposed to be soft shelled crab with veg served with mini pancakes. Firstly, a completely incorrect menu description as it wasn’t soft shelled crab at all but imitation crab meat! Very disappointing and by far the least inspired item we ordered.
We also had the pa jeon kim chi pancake which was good. Crispy on the outside with a nice golden colour.
The BBQ dishes went down a treat. We had the Bul go gi and the spicy pork. Both were really tasty.
The bi bim bap was ok. It wasn’t as flavoursome as I had hoped and it tasted a bit bland.
The two best things we ordered were the yang nyum dak fried chicken and the kim-​chi, sliced pork & dumpling stew. The fried chicken pieces were perfectly crispy and tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. Everyone kept referring to this as Korean popcorn chicken. Delicious! And the stew came with a burner to keep it bubbling away in the table. Loads of veg in a spicy broth. The dumplings were yummy.
Overall a great meal at Naru. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere and it was great value. We gorged ourselves and it came out at only £25 per person.

I dragged my parents with me to Naru restaurant since I love korean food so much and miss eating it. Overall the food tastes pretty good!
We ordered Dak gan jung which is a deep fried chicken with a sauce, Jap chae which is stir fried potato noodles with vegetables, Kal bu gi (beef short ribs), Dol sor bibimbab and Kimchi jji gae (kimchi soup). The best dish there has to be the deep fried chicken where the chicken is so tender inside but crispy on the outside. The only downside was that there’s a little bit too much batter (where there’s no meat) but I personally love eating those so it was fine for me. My mum’s favourite dish has to be the stirred friend potato noodles and I agree with her that it tastes really good as well. The beef short rib was ok but we thought that it was slightly overcooked and not ask tender as it should be. The bibimbap is delicious too but I would prefer to have more korean spicy sauce with it. The kimchi soup was nice as well and I really like the (wholegrain?) rice served with it. The cost of the meal was around £57 and we thought it was worth it since there were lots of food for 3 people (we were really full and satisfied).
It was a good experience and we will definitely go back soon!

Whenever I am homesick there is nothing like Korean food to bring me the comfort. Since the Korean population in London seems fairly low, I was afraid of what my options looked like. After scouring a number of reviews my eyes fell upon which seemed to have relatively good reviews.
I had the bibimbap in a stone bowl which was really quite delicious! The stone was hot enough to create some really crispy pieces of rice. The taste of sesame oil and red pepper paste flooded my mouth with joy.
Aside from being a bit stunned that kimchi and namul had to be paid for (they are complimentary in Korean restaurants in Korea, Canada and the States), the portions were good for these and they tasted fresh and delicious.
Finally I also had the kalbi which had a bit of an unusual appearance it was like they took the tong kalbi (the traditional cut) and sliced it into a long strip which they cut up into pieces and served in a heated marinade pool. I wish it was truly grilled as the charcoal flavour was missed. It wasn’t my favourite version of the dish but hit the spot. Afterall who would turn down kalbi?

I am not exactly a stranger when it comes to Korean food so I can tell a thing or two about Naru.
It really is quite unique by itself and offers a wide array of meals for both the newbies and experienced in the Korean food. The Bibimbap is amazing here — so full of taste and dense in flavour. I think that everyone should at leaest once in their life try Korean beef and BBQ in general. There is no other culture that prepares the meat this well — it’s uniquely tasty.
I can make a small remark regarding the staff. The place seemed to be a bit short of people as we waited for some time for our orders and check respectively. However, that did not ruin our dinner at all; and what could actually, with such food.

Value for money and good food! Not fancy nor exquisite bit its great for lunch with quick service and friendly prices. The menu is varied and the bibimbap is good. Locations is also quite convenient and it has a lot if seating so its an ideal plan b if you didn’t plan lunch ahead. It’s also quite consistent — i’ve been coming here for iver 3 years — never disappointed!

After a horrific Kim-​Chi experience in my past, I was hesitant to even try this Korean Restaurant. After being convinced to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Naru Bo Ssam — pork in a house sauce. It was flavorful but I would have liked it to have been spicier (Maybe I should have ordered it extra spicy). The portions were large and filling.
This pleasant experience, coupled with the good things I have heard about Korean beef and BBQ dishes –has left me much more open to Korean food. I will likely return to experiment with some of their other menu options.

This is my third attempt to Korean food and compared with the other places i have been i would say its an ok place.
Food wise it was delicious although again i can pronounce most of the things we ate. The place though was a bit small and it was lacking the atmosphere. We wanted to have wine but we found that the ones offered were not that special and bit over priced

Bi Bim Bap Boom. The Bi Bim Bap was so awesome that I have thought about it regularly since we ate there. The traditional pancake and kimchi as starters – excellent. How about a little squid and pork Korean BBQ? Bring it on – it was really good.
I am not a Korean food expert but I was just loving the well-​executed food. Simple, authentic, affordable, well-​done.
Service wasn’t the best and no special atmosphere… it is all about affordable and tasty Korean food.

I am not an expert in Korean food and I’m grateful to visiting San Franciscan Unilocaler Rachel Z for organising this Korean food outing
Following some advice from local Unilocal foodies, she led an intrepid group of hungry Unilocalers to Naru on the outskirts of Covent Garden. Most of us had a little experience of Korean food but were keen for more
We did the time-​honoured group ordering system of shouting out dishes that we liked the look of and once again, we came up trumps! Haha, must be natural ordering skill. Naru lived up to the recommendations we had been given and we were treated to some tasty dishes
I’m afraid my poor memory and lack of familiarity with Korean food means that I can’t summarise all rhe dishes that we enjoyed. However, I can remember that my favourite dishes were the beef tartare, sweet yet fragrant than sesame and perfectly paired with pear, and the japchae, sweet potato noodles
I haven’t been overly enamoured by Korean food in the past but Naru has inspired me to explore this cuisine more in the future

Korean food is one of my favorite cuisines when it comes to Asian and I’ve been on the hunt for a restaurant that does Korean fairly well. I’ve been to Naru a couple of times and I’ve got to say that it’s pretty good. They need to improve on a few things for me to give them a 5th star though.
For one, Korean restaurants typically give you complimentary side dishes with your meal. Maybe I’m spoiled from California where I’m used to this, but when I stopped by Korea, they seemed to do the same thing. Naru gives you nada! Secondly, they seem to be a little skimpy on the portions. I ordered this ramen street dish with rice cakes and stuff in it, although it was delicious, I still was hungry afterwards…
Other than those reasons, Naru does Korean really well. Everything I’ve tried is pretty good, I just wish I got more of it. Service isn’t horrible, but it does get busy in there.

I am a picky eater when it comes to Korean food. So picky I make trips out to New Malden because I find that the restaurants in central London tend to disappoint. Not Naru!
If you’re planning to go with a group of people, I think it works out better to order the dishes separately rather than getting the set menu. It’ll give you a better variety of dishes.
Starters
Kimchee pancake — Almost everyone’s fave!
Seafood pancake — where’s the seafood? Should’ve gotten 2 kimchee ones
Jap chae — Pretty good — everyone’s 2nd fave.
Spicy pork with tofu — This was good but left me just mildly unsatisfied
Mains
Bulgogi — YUM! I have to admit it is nice to not have to BBQ my food
Kalbi jjim (Stewed short ribs) — Yum! I want more!
Tobboki — This is like dukbokki + instant noodles + fish cakes — This was delightful
Seafood udon — It was good but definitely not the highlight.
Service was pretty good. I’m definitely coming back.
