Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the smoked pork belly, described as apple wood smoked Italian pork belly and praised as juicy, tender and not greasy, with one diner ranking it among the best tasted anywhere, Seoul included. Close behind are the soups: the beef short rib soup with brisket that melts in the mouth, the pork bone soup, and a soup of the day that several note changes and is good value. Also named are Gwangyang style marinated bulgogi, chicken thighs, beef tartare, intestines, beef sashimi, corn cheese, cold noodles and steamed egg. Kimchi and refillable sides come included with the barbecue, and the pork set menu is described as feeding two to three people. Table service draws repeated praise, with staff who check in, cook the meat to perfection, offer grilling tips and replace grill plates quickly. Reviewers also describe a lively, authentic, family-run feel. No review raises a complaint beyond one remark that the outside is not as manicured as other places. One reviewer who visits monthly for Sunday lunch says the waitress always cooks all the meat to perfection.

“GO!K in new Malden is the REAL DEAL. The beef was quality british produce, but the real standout was the Samgyeopsal pr BBQ pork belly which was amongst the best I have tasted ANYWHERE in the world ... seoul inclusive. Table service is great and u have all the meats cooked expertly, which I think makes all the difference. A clear standout was the beef soup which beyond being tasty, had the beef brisket so tender it melts in your mouth. Highly recommended.”
