I had visited this restaurant more than 22 years, and I found the food is getting worse and worse, the taste is totally different compare years ago, I suspect they have change the owner and the chief. I don't think I will visit there anymore, very disappointed.

Approximate cost: $60

We hadn't been here for many years but Kimchi Grandma has maintained the good, fast, great value feed that we remembered. We ordered a lot, it came fast, kids loved it , so did we, got some kimchi and leftovers to go and home in time to watch a movie. A perfect family dinner place, noisy and crowded, but that suits and the food warms you up on a cold winter's night. Would recommend the beef bulgogi and the bibimbap and of course, the kimchi!

I come to Kim Chi for the deep fried tofu (like the Japanese agedashi tofu) and pork and veg gyoza... just thinking about it makes my tummy rumble. Both are divine and simple, inexpensive (although prices have increased a little lately) comfort food. The corn tea and kim chi are also great.

I usually eat here at lunchtime when the restaurant can be really quiet unlike evenings which are very busy... but don't think you're going to get great service just because the staff aren't busy. Table service is very light on. Good thing the kitchen is fast!

Everything on the menu is of a good standard. I went with one of my Korean friends and he said it is one of the better Korean Restaurants in the area. Service could be a little better, but they are very busy.

Approximate cost: $15-$20

This is one of those little local wonders. The food is authentic Korean, so you need to know what to order when you go. The beef Bulgogi is one of the best I have ever had with the perfect balance of sweet and salty. This dish is always consistent, however the calamari is a hit and miss, sometimes amazing and then sometimes lacking in flavour. When you order all these little side dishes come out, they are generally always different, but of course there is always kim chi :)

Approximate cost: $10-20

Delicious food and amazing value. Great place to take the kids. Love all the little side dishes that are served with meals - who would have thought cabbage could taste that good?

Authentic korean restaurant and food has been consistent througout the years. I wouldn't say it's the best korean but I know I can rely on them being consistent. When I come to this place I always know what to expect and it never disappoints. My fave dishes are pork bulgogi and beef galbi.

I have been to this place twice, it is always busy. I heard that this restaurant is very popular so I gave it a try. However, I didn't find its dishes that special or delicious as people said, I found it just ok. The service was a bit rough, I'm not sure it was because it was a busy night.

Approximate cost: $16

Great shop design and dishes.
They are decently priced and well presented meals. My favourite is their teriyaki chicken
