Cah Chi

A busy, buzzing Korean restaurant, Cah Chi is packed nightly with local young professionals. They come both for the warmth of welcome from the family who run the place, & to eat well. Korean barbecue is the speciality, so each table has its own hotplate. Choose from beef, pork or prawn bulgogi, which is marinated & then cooked before your eyes. Whet your appetite with soup – pork & vegetable dumpling soup & seaweed soup are both recommended – or tuck into steamed tofu or pan-fried courgettes. There are also hotpots & noodles to try. This is a cash-only establishment, but prices are low (& it’s BYO – for wine only) so you won’t need wads. There’s a second branch at 34 Durham Road, Raynes Park SW20 0TW (020 947 1081).
