After reading all the great reviews I was so excited to come in and dine one evening, I was sadly disappointed.. Service was friendly and the waitress was prompt on service.. Food was ok, not the worst but definitely Not the best.. and the prices were ridiculous especially for the amount of food and the taste.. and for the prices charged I expected quite a bit better. And no I don't mind paying more for quality food but this just wasn't it . the crab Rangoon were these small barely filled pockets, the pork bao buns I would never eat again, the pork belly was not cooked well and was not crispy it was like eating a big wad of barely warm fat. . The rice had a good flavor but the vegetables were not ala dente, just hard barely cooked.. I had the Orange chicken, it was inedible,it was so spicy I couldn't eat it and traded with my friend.. they like spice but they could barely eat it.. I should of sent it back but it was busy and it took so long to even get food that I stupidly just fumed.. I also must say I've never had that dish served that way, hot extra spicy seasoning?? makes me wonder if there was a mistake while preparing?? and as for The glass of plum wine it was a small portion and if I had known the price before hand I would not had ordered it was an expensive drink that was not worth the price... I really wanted to like it here but I had better food and for a quarter of the price at the " yummy yummy Asian restaurant" (I ate there a couple days after coming here because I just craved Asian food and so I tried them on the fly, if I had known of them before here I would have saved myself money and had a better meal, **they could give kimchi some tips on how to prepare better food) .. our meal with 1 glass of wine and 2 appetizers was over $130 plus tip... ,Perhaps it was an off night but I'd recommend avoiding here and check out further north past coconut point at the "Yummy Yummy Asian kitchen" off of North Tamiami..

Cashew Chicken would imply that the dish contains chicken. Nope. This dish contained vegetables and sauce and literally 3 slices of chicken that amounted to less than 2 ounces of meat. $21 for vegetables is unacceptable in my view. I understand that times might be hard, but skimping on the namesake is unforgettable. Sad face. Lost my future business.

Fabulous fast-casual Asian fare. Delicious flavors, homemade broths, and tastes clean. Wish we found this place on our first night of the trip. Will be back to try more.

The food here is AMAZING!!! We are vacationing from Seattle and had a craving for asian food. This place did not disappoint. The menu had multiple Asian selections. The vegetables were so fresh and crispy just like they got them straight from the garden. The owner took time to speak with us and you can tell she has a passion for her restaurant and her customers needs. I highly recommend this place.Vegetarian options: As stated the vegetable dishes were very fresh and I did see tofu on the menuParking: It is a strip mall and there were plenty of parking spots

We had take out from Kim Chi last nite and I am still thinking about how delicious the soup was.....pork siu mai wonton soup was delicious.....just perfect for a damp cool nite. BBQ spare ribs and dumpling sampler left me wanting more! The next time I will dine there for even better experience. So lucky to have this level of restaurant in our area!

The two of us lunched at Kim Chi and selected two of their lunch specials. They included soup and egg roll. Very pleased with the quantity and taste of everything ordered and would be happy to return. Service was excellent and facility was clean.

High quality ingredients and delicious food. This is not a typical Asian/Chinese restaurant. Dine in is way to go as you want this food fresh and hot.Great Pad Thai
Took a friend with more Asian food experience so she could challenge me to try something new. It was DELICIOUS! We shared Bao Bun tacos and a Korean bowl with chicken, seaweed, kimchi, rice and an egg, and a pork soup with noodles. Absolutely delicious!Then last week my husband and I went back and I had the Korean bowl with pork belly. So much flavor, but the texture of pork belly is definitely fatty so get the pork instead if you need.My husband got the sesame chicken with broccoli and rice (so boring?) but it was very good.
We came for the lunch special. You get a delicious soup and spring roll added to each meal. The kimchi fried rice was so delicious and flavorful. The staff is very friendly and attentive!

Stopped in here January 25 2024 for a late dinner. Dumplings were amazing as was the main course. Char Sui Pork with Wonton Soup and the Spicey Pork Belly on rice. Food is prepared fresh daily. Family run business which is a must try if you're in the area. lots of other options on the menu which Im sure is also just as tasty.
Pork Sui Mai! Superb dumplings!! Fresh and delicious. Looking forward to another visit.

Had the bi bim bop with bulgogi. Not like any bulgogi I have ever had. It was mealy. Maybe some like it that way but have been to many Korean restaurants and it was never like that. May give them another try but will see.
