Mary's Garden

Mary is a superb host, and the meal was very relaxed - we were made to feel at home, and clearly many of the dinners had been several times before and were on first name terms... and the food was superb, and I was delighted with her recommendations for the meal. Will definitely be visiting again soon - my new favourite restaurant.

Five friends and I visited here on Saturday after it was recommended by two of our group who live nearby and I have to say we were not disappointed! The food was freshly cooked (the Bibimbap was cooked at our table!) and absolutely delicious and it was not expensive at all. Six of us shared three starters (Edamame beans with chilli, Chicken Gyoza and Squid in batter), and two bottles of wine. That, including 6 main courses, came to £30 a head including tip! The service was great in this place and they were happy to answer all the questions I had about the food. After much deliberation, I had the raw beef Bibimbap with chilli as a main and I cannot fault it (although beware, the bowl it is cooked in is roasting hot and I did burn myself a couple of times!). I also tried one of my friend's salmon teriyaki and another's beef teriyaki and both were cooked to perfection and very tasty! Next time I am visiting London I will definitely return to Mary's Garden although the only downside is that I think I will find it difficult to decide what to eat!
