Park's Kitchen — Restaurant in London

I went to Park's Kitchen because I was intrigued by it since I have seen it replaced the previous Delitalia and since I like Korean food. The place is very nice...the interior design is minimalist, but classy and there is a large screen which was turned on a K-pop music channel, which I thought was nice, but the volume is very reasonable and allow to conversate at a polite tone.

Considering that the restaurant was almost full (approximatively, I'd say 3/4 full), the service was extremely fast: While I wasn't in a rush, I had the impression that my food arrived nearly instantly after my order!

Moreover sometimes in Korean restaurants they prefer to bring all dishes at the same time, because seems that a "banquet-style" with the table full of dishes and the option to pick up a little of this or that is traditionally more appreciated in Korea (or at least I was told so by a Korean restaurant owner)...

...here they seem to favour to provide a fast service, so all food is brought as soon as it is ready...which means that, even if it's not a fast-food, you can have a very fast lunch here!

The staff is extremely polite...in fact, even if service is fast, none will rush you, even if the restaurant is small and so a customer who linger too much at the table after finishing it is a potential liability if the restaurant is full...

...not that I advise to be boorish and overstay one's presence at the table...this is just to underline that the staff is very polite!

The tableware is the traditional Korean tableware...so you can expect bibimbap in the traditional stone bowl, the metal chopsticks and the spoon with a long handle...

As for the food...I have eaten a beef bulgoghi bibimbap, kimchi and vegetable mandu.

All was very good, albeit not overly spicy, but you should consider that ethnic restaurants and shops tend to match their flavours to the target audience...and a British friend of mine confirmed me that in UK you prefer "toned down" flavors ... salty is not too salty, spicy is not insanely spicy...

...in fact, Korean food in UK seems more "tame" than Korean food in Italy...so do not expect overly spicy food... but still was very good and tasty!

( Since I saw a lot of Korean customers I assume it is stil spicy enough for Korean tastes too... )

As for the price...I think that Park's Kitchen has a very good price-quality ratio and the quantity is good: For around 22£ I have eaten bibimbap, mandu & kimchi and taken a large bottle of sparkling water and left the table fully satiated...which is very good in my opinion!

I think Park's Kitchen is the perfect stylish place to bring a girl for a nice date to make a good impression without overspending or to eat a quick bite if you work around here and you are a bit in a rush...

However, just consider that it is relatively small, so I think a group of 8-10 people would probably make a wise choice to call in advance!

Finally I won’t have to travel into Central London to fulfil my Korean food cravings!! I have had a couple takeaways from Park’s Kitchen and eaten in once so far and I have been wholly satisfied each time. When I ate in alone during lunch hours, the atmosphere was perfectly comfortable and casual. There was hand sanitiser just in the door and on the counter, the polite and kind staff all wore masks and the area and tables (both inside & out) looked clean and well looked-after. I had Set Menu B with the Spicy Chicken rice dish and Kimchi Jjigae. The chicken was absolutely delicious! Exactly like the Chicken Bokkum found in my usual go-to Korean restaurants in Central, so my cravings were completely fulfilled. For each of the 2 takeaways I’ve had so far, firstly, I had Set Menu A comprising of Bibimbap and spinach soup and, secondly, Fried Udon Noodles. Both of which were extremely generous portions in very stable and insulated packaging. All the food was absolutely delicious and authentic , and, although in some parts it lacked the typical Korean spiciness, it was very flavourful and filling. Overall, I highly recommend Park’s Kitchen, especially their Spicy Chicken rice dish. I hope to try the tteokbokki, japchae, kanpoongi and pajeon soon!! I was very excited to find out that Park’s Kitchen are participating in the gov’s 50% off August plan so I’ll definitely be a regular customer and I can’t wait to bring my family and...

My friend and I came here for dinner after seeing the great reviews online, and they were absolutely right. We arrived on a Wednesday around 8 PM without a reservation, and the restaurant was completely full — yet the staff kindly managed to find us a table for two. They were incredibly accommodating despite how busy it was.

You could really feel the energy from the kitchen — it was clearly in full swing, every dish coming out looked fantastic, and you could tell the cooks were working their hardest. The food itself was outstanding: high-quality ingredients, beautifully balanced flavours, and that unmistakable sense that it was made with care and pride.

I’d definitely recommend booking ahead, as it’s a popular spot for good reason. Everything we had tasted fresh, authentic, and deeply satisfying — some of the best Korean food I’ve had in London.

Also, a special mention to our friendly host — I think his name was Jerry or Larry (forgive me if I’ve got that wrong!) — who asked to be named in this review to win a bet. Consider this his victory!

In short, Parks Kitchen is a gem in Ealing — warm service, excellent food, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Highly...
