We love this hidden gem! Here, you'll find a great variety of food that is cooked after you've ordered. This means you will need to plan accordingly. Don't be in a rush. The food is delivered to you hot and fresh in a reasonable amount of time. Delicious??? Heck yeah, very much so. To top it off, the owner is so sweet and appreciative. We love to support this local business!Parking: The parking lot is not paved, and there are lots of holes. If you drive in slowly, though, it's easily maneuvered.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp that begins at the back of the building. I recommend dropping off there before parking.
Quaint little korean restaurant with Boba tea, Korean tea, and coffee. Service is always great as well!

I am in love with this place! The Beef Bulgogi and Pork/Chicken Katsu are my favorites but they have plenty of wonderful options. I am also obsessed with the coffee and lattes! The owners are also very kind and have very good memory of their customers!

This place may not look like much but it sure packs a lot of flavor and great food!You HAVE to check this place out if you're looking for authentic Korean dishes and drinks. Absolutely amazing flavors on all the dishes we tried and their coffee was superb.We tried their sweet potato noodles with steak dish which came with the hot Kim chi, homemade Cole slaw, and two dumplings. The dish was so packed with flavor, everything on it was delicious. I personally loved their coleslaw and the flavors in the noodle part of the dish. The Kim chi was amazing but it is spicy so I could not enjoy it as much as I wanted to (but that's how it's supposed to be spicy and delicious - I just can't handle spice as much).We also sampled the Korean corn dog (which was my favorite guilty pleasure. A MUST try!) and the miso glazed salmon dish. The salmon was so packed with flavor it practically melted in your mouth.The coffee, both house Korean and, was delicious! The Korean coffee came with a waffle crisp inside, perfect for dunking. The coffee wasn't too sweet but was not tart. Absolutely perfect blend. The other coffee came with homemade sugar "candies" (for lack of a better description) still not overpowering in sweetness but an interesting element for the drink. So yummy!!I would highly recommend it!We also took home a slice of their homemade machi sponge cake and red bean mochi - so amazing- backed to perfection.

Can not comment on the food we never got any. Was showed to our table handed menu's then left. Our waitress sat another couple right next to us, took their drink order, returned with their drinks. Then asked them if they were ready to order. We had no drinks and were not asked about ordering. Acted surprised when we got up to leave. One star for 0 star service.
Hot Kimchi is an authentic Korean restaurant that exceeded all my expectations. Having been stationed in Korea, I can confidently say that their dishes truly transport you back to the Land of the Morning Calm.Managed by a delightful husband and wife, this small family business brings love and passion to every plate they serve. Mrs. Leslie is incredibly sweet and friendly; her warmth extends beyond just the inviting atmosphere as she consistently demonstrates kindness towards my children.The customer service at Hot Kimchi is nothing short of excellent. Despite the occasional wait for our meals due to its smaller scale, I can assure you that every bite is well worth it. The food can only be described as exquisite, with each dish showcasing traditional Korean flavors and preparations.If you're looking for a genuine Korean dining experience, Hot Kimchi should be at the top of your list. Give Hot Kimchi a try – you won't be disappointed!
