About London Naru Korean Deli

On Lovibond Lane near Greenwich DLR station, London Naru Korean Deli is a Korean takeout restaurant built around a menu of 10 different gimbap varieties alongside traditional namul and homemade kimchi. The kitchen also turns out bibimbap, kimchi stew, beef bulgogi, and Korean fried chicken in spicy and non-spicy versions, plus dumplings, kimchi pancakes, and chicken katsu kimbap. A pork belly on rice dish comes with namul on the side, and the counter stocks dry Korean pantry goods for takeaway alongside vegetarian and vegan menu options. Seating is limited to a few tables and chairs given the small size of the space, so most orders are placed for collection. Drinks are kept simple, running to standard soft drinks like coke and Fanta. Orders are taken in-store or by phone, on a walk-in basis with no reservations.

Customer Review Summary

Korean fried chicken, in both spicy and non-spicy versions and especially with sauce, is the dish reviewers raise most, with one calling it a favourite outside central London. Close behind are the spicy pork bokkeum, the sea bass Korean sushi, the salmon and avocado roll and the bibimbap, while others mention the sashimi platter, chicken katsu kimbab, kimchi pancakes and crispy dumplings. Several stress that the fish and ingredients are fresh, and the owners and staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, with one group receiving a free snack. A few note the space is small, with only a few chairs and tables. Complaints are specific: one reviewer found the bulgogi was unmarinated stir fried beef, another wished for more drinks beyond regular coke and Fanta, and one takeaway order arrived with smashed bibimbap and a kimchi stew with a single piece of beef and no seafood. Several mention the spot being right by Greenwich DLR station for a quick pickup.

    “Homely unpretentious Korean food in a little cafe featuring common dishes such as bibimbap, kimchi stew and beef bulgogi. Generous portions with delicious sauces which are always the highlights of Korean cuisine. I especially like the namul that's part of the pork belly on rice dish --- which proper Korean meal should be without namul, after all? 🙂 Warm and quick service. The location was perfect too - just a stone's throw from the DLR station.”

    “worst takeaway i have ever ordered in london which costs £42 packaging is really poor and food arrived in a horrible condition which kills any appetite. bibimbap looks smashed and not tasty. stew is with 1 lonely piece of beef and no seafood and heaps of mashed tofu and onions/chives. just spicy and sweet without rice and to me looks like a pure waste of money and calories!”

    “Fantastic friendly service, guys are very welcoming! Food is one of the best in this area! Kimchi stew quite spacey for me but my partner loved it! My girls enjoyed crispy dumpings and we tried kimchi pancakes, and little selection of sushi. All of it was stunning, fully fragrant, fresh and the price definitely didn't make us poorer. Thank you so much!”

    “Fantastic Korean Fried Chicken!! This was absolutely delicious and is definitely now my favourite outside of central London. We also ordered the sashimi platter which was fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was however unfortunately just unmarinated stir fried beef. While the beef itself was cooked perfectly, it just didn't have the marinade. Overall though, this was a great experience and I will definitely come again!!”
