I love jajangmyeon, so I was happy to stumble upon Namu Korean Kitchen. The food was good, the service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere had a lot of charm. A solid spot for Korean comfort food—I’m glad I found it.

First time trying Namu Korean Kitchen and it was so so good!! Very affordable set meals from Monday to Saturday for just 14.90 for one appetiser and one main. Ordered the jajangmyeon with pork, crispy seaweed roll, kimchi fried rice and sundubu-jjigae! All the dishes were excellent, delicious and authentic! Lovely restaurant to sit in and a great experience all round! Definitely worth multiple visits!

Literally amazing . All the food tasted so authentic and the atmosphere was so friendly and warm. It's honestly such a great place and I'd definitely recommend if you like Korean food. Personally, I think it's one of the best places out there due to the cleanliness, affordable prices, attentive/friendly staff members and quality of the food (the fact that it came while it was bubbling was so fun to watch!!). I'd highly recommend get the hotteok as I really loved that!!

A warm and welcoming spot with delicious food and great service. The mushrooms were crispy, and bibimbap sauce as well as the kimchi were definitely the highlights - the flavours were well-balanced and complimented the meal. It was also my first time trying hotteok and it was amazing, went really well with the ice cream. This will be my go-to for future Glasgow visits.

So, so impressed with this restaurant! We had the £15 dinner menu with one starter and one main, which was super good value, and also got tteok-kkochi and the budae jjigae. Everything was absolutely delicious, and especially the mains were big portions. Service was great, really quick, and the atmosphere was nice and cosy. Definitely will become a regular place for me!

First day at Uni, so spoiled the new student with lovely Korean food at Namu before she gets used to beans on toast and pasta :D we went for the very reasonably priced 2 Course Menu and both had the Korean Crispy Chicken to start, which was fabulous, the dipping sauce was divine. Slightly messed up my main order thinking that Glass Noodles would be thin and similar to thin rice noodles but was wrong, wasn't a fan of the texture but that's on me. Daughter's black bean sauce with chicken and sliced cucumber was excellent. Really quick service and very friendly, definitely recommend but read the menu (or ask!) carefully!
