Ordered Korean food for pick up while visiting a friend nearby, super homey good quality Korean food! We ordered food for 4 adults and 2 kids. We got a kimchi tofu and seafood tofu soup, chive pancake, mackerel, galbi, spicy pork, spicy chicken wings and regular chicken wings, we ordered more kimchi and rice, it also came with a lot of Banchan, and japchae for the kids. The order was easy to place online and we paid online for pick up. I missed the turn into the plaza but found street parking. The server was helpful and there was a small dining room inside. I would totally go back and order from there in the future if I’m feeling Korean food while Im in the area.

Best Korean food in the bay !

The best Korean food, full of flavors, authentic, priced reasonably, portions generous. I’ve been to many Korean restaurants all over , this beats them all, even the ones in Oakland. Their seafood stew was sooo delicious, the broth had a rich complexity, the way a Korean seafood soft tofu stew should be. Everything we ordered were top of the charts. My 22 year old daughter even thought so and it’s harder to please her. My mother, who criticizes everyone’s cooking, said it was good. That’s impressive to me. The bulgogi had so much flavors! I will be back. Cannot believe we live so close but have never tried it til today. Because everytime we crave Korean cuisine we would drive into Oakland .

A great meal after a brisk walk through the Point Pinole Park, we walked into the comfy restaurant and ate what felt more like a home cooked meal made and served by a lovely couple. This homey resturant overlooks a park; a great plus if you have kids who need to run around. The bento box was more than enough to fill us up and their kimchi satisified a craving store bought never could!

The food was great, definitely a hidden gem in Pinole.
My first visit to Kimchi House in Pinole. They have a very good menu. I chose to order the Korean Bento Box with grilled spicy chicken. I like spicy food, and this item was not too spicy, so I ordered more chile. The green tea was super good. I will return and order the spicy grilled mackerel.

Epic. Wait staff was amazing and the food was off the charts. Best Korean I’ve had on the west coast.
If you have been looking for a solid Korean restaurant, this is the one. The food is delicious, the banchan is tasty and, and I would argue that they have the best Tofu soup in the East Bay. I have tried the following and recommend all:
-Galbi (Short-Rib): Tender, perfectly seasoned, and charcoal grilled! -Seafood Pancake: Generous amount of seafood, dipping sauce is a must, and a nice blend of crispy/chewy. -Combination Tofu Soup: Generous amount of beef and seafood
Will be returning!

Got takeout. The server from the cashier mountains implied that we could only get takeout. Also the soup we got the meat tasted like leftovers.
