Miga wants you to know its lore. Wander up to the crisp white exterior of this new Korean restaurant, which gleams on a Cambridge Heath corner like an incongruous pair of box-fresh trainers, and you will spot an entire wall given over to a giant text mural.
Detailing the operating family’s multi-generational, 22-year history in the hospitality business — a grandma who trained in Seoul, a mother who started a Covid-era takeaway business in Morden, the father and sons who are behind this new venture — it has the free-associative cheek of an Instagram post — a supremely confident, self-mythologising tale of “peng food” and time-honoured culinary principles that feel, all at once, redolent of both Korean tradition and a decidedly London modern swagger.
