Great value lunch special. Pick two meats for 14.99 plus rice, veg, kimchee and soup. Lots of choices and large portions from a great family restaurant. Don’t pass it by.

Met up with a fishing buddy to try out Kim Chee for breakfast. Was pleasantly surprised. Got there before the restaurant opened and able to park in the front. Food was good and as expected with the price being also reasonable. Service was quick and ambiance was dinnernvibe through and through. From the outside it looked like a total dive but pleasantly surprised at the inside.

Nice touch was addition of 2 types of kimchee as well as the soup. You know it's authentic when they don't give you a spoon for the soup. Looking forward to adding Kim Chee to my rotation and looking forward to trying their actual Korean food for lunch or dinner.

RUDE and uptight the moment we walked through the door. They made the experience very awkward.

Definitely not embracing the islander vibe.

The food is not nearly as good as other of the many spots we've eaten at. Typical Korean, but great Korean.

Severely overrated. 💩

Amazing Korean BBQ Kalbi ribs! Every other popular Korean bbq plate you could want, too including pork jun. less traditional but very popular local options like chicken katsu and shoyu chicken as well. Time it right cuz parking lot is tiny. Pro tip, the chiro parking lot is available after they close at 6pm

10/10 highly recommend

They’re pretty darn fast.

I used to go there a lot as a kid and so I decided to stop by and see if they’re still good. They’re def still good, menu hasn’t changed and that’s a good thing.

Con: parking is a problem kinda sorta just be aware.

Food was great and very plentiful. For the lunch special, you get a choice of 2 entrees, plus soup and 2 types of kim chi for $15. I got 2 huge shrimp tempura and 2 large pieces of BBQ chicken with a tasty teriyaki sauce. Ate half and took the other half home. The owner/waitress was a hoot. We want to go back for the food and to see her! Service was great.

Good option if you are REALLY hungry. One portion could be shared with whole family 🙂 Spicy means spicy 🌶️

I ordered shoyu chicken & meat jun plate for $14.99 special and it came with 2 scoops of rice and more vegetatables on plate al also additional side dishes, which the server told me I could have a refill if I want to. When I got to try the food it tasted so good and also with the side dish. This is a very good price for a korean restaurant. The service was also great so it really made it a great visit.

Came here from California after doing Kaula Ranch for lunch food was great. Never had Korean food.
I ordered the #2 Family Plater. I have a new love for Korean food.
