The food was very flavorful and the beef bulgogi very tender. Everything was very good.

The food is delicious. We always get a takeout, and the only thing that bothers us is the occasional lack of consistency. We are used to bento boxes containing decent portions of meat, noodles, rice, and salad, but sometimes the portions are much smaller, to the point my husband is still hungry afterward... The price has been the same for the bigger portions as for the smaller ones, so naturally, we are disappointed to receive less food...

Listen, food really has to hit a certain type of way for me to stop and do a live action review! ? The spicy chicken wings are so good! I’m two chicken wings in and I’m sold. I haven’t even tried my beef Ramen yet with a mild spice yet! These thangs so good! ?They are the perfect consistency! The crispy wings with that spicy sticky saucey glaze! ?????Stop playing with me.

The atmosphere was off. The service wasn't good. The water cup had floating food particles in it. The utensils had dried food stuck to them. I didn't eat, I just left & went next door for lunch instead.

A friend of mine and I decided to check out Kimchi House as it has been one of the restaurants we've always wanted to try. I got the Duk Bok Ki w/ra-myun and excluded a few veggies since i'm a picky eater. now, i've had a bunch of different rice cakes before from different restaurants but this was the BEST i've ever had. the chewy-ness was perfect and they were so soft and plump and I didn't struggle with eating them as I do for most ricecakes. Had plenty of side dishes (banchan) that were amazing as well and my friend had the kimchi tofu stew which she enjoyed too! portions were huge for the pretty affordable prices!I know this restaurant used to be a different one a while back but this was my first time ever here and i quite enjoyed it. everything was clean and the owners who i presume are a husband-wife duo are very sweet and kind! Will definitely come back!

Love Korean food. This place was the old nagunaGood and menu seem The same. We like their bonchon variety. Portions and price were good.

We'd tried to eat at a different Korean place before making our way over to Kimchi House. It's run by a husband wife combo, in a small plaza that houses Sweet Pipers and Growlers DogHaus.We dropped in on a Monday evening (8:30pm). There was one other group eating when we arrived. Food came out incredibly quick (under 15 minutes).Menu consists of appetizers, rice bowls, bento boxes, soon doo boo, ra-myun and a la carte. We asked for medium spicy.- Banchan - wasn't expecting such a variety of side dishes. Japchae, cucumber salad, soybean sprouts, bean sprouts, sliced fish cakes, pickled radish with jalapeños, broccoli, kimchi and seaweed salad. All decent.- Kimchi pancake ($16.95) - good sized but wished it was crispy. Too doughy. - Duk bok ki ($15.95) - rice cakes had a chewy bite. Standard fare.- Dolsot ($18.95) - rice didn't get crispy but flavours were good. - Dwae ji bulgogi bento ($18.95) - pork was tasty with a slight char. Best of the dishes that we ordered.- Pork tofu soup ($16.95) - broth had no depth or complexity. Pork was overcooked. Don't order.Spoiled for good Korean eats back home. KH was average.

The restaurant is at a cute corner with a welcoming interior. The service was slow and request my family and I to always flag them down. The inside was a bit warm and not enough airflow, but that's not that big of a deal. The food. It was okay, the spicy chicken was great and had a nice glaze. The duk bokki was nice, decent proportions of tofu. Though the ramen and sauce itself was sub par. Seafood pancake didn't have a "seafood" flavor, felt vegetarian. We ordered some short rib, though it was good, I don't think it was $35 good. Kimchi fried rice was nothing amazing. That's the theme of the place. You get food that's filling and well someone cooked it for you, but you don't walk away super satisfied or feeling like the value was there. For a family of 5, we paid about $200 with tip. We had enough left over for one person/meal.

Ordered a large orders for work. The lunch spicy chicken bento box is pretty good and in a good amount of food. I love the purple rice which is surprisingly delicious. Most people at work enjoyed the food.Would be great if they delivered or partner with other delivery company like door dash. Sending someone to pick up food during lunch time is not always an option.

The price here is reasonable compared to the amount, and the food is delicious. Especially, I enjoyed seafood pajeon with my husband. Japchae was also delicious. The beef bulgogi was a little dry, so I'll try pork next time instead. But it's a restaurant that surprised me that I didn't expect at all. I will definitely visit again.
