Food was good but pricey for what it was. Tables weren't cleaned off from other patrons before so it was hard to find a clean table that didn't have stacks of plates.

You don't go here if you want great service and atmosphere. It's good Korean food for a decent price and that's it. Plain and simple.

Please!! If you’re reading this, DO NOT TRY this place. The quality and flavor of food is VERY low. I ordered a $16 bowl of ramen and was served “instant $1.69” ramen from Walmart. Everything else was bland and low quality ingredients. Besides the names on the menu, nothing tasted Korean. Again, do not waste your money here.

Worst service EVER!

I mean...if you were out in the wilderness and finally made it back to civilization...you would love the food here. I had the lunch special and I thought it was mediocre at best. Here is how I rate my meal from best to worst:
1) root beer
2) short ribs
3) plain white rice
4) chicken katsu
5) macaroni salad- macaroni noodles smothered with mayonnaise, disqualified after the first bite
6) Lettuce- automatically disqualified, it was just plain ol' lettuce.

Not only was the food mediocre, but the decor was outdated, like from the late 1980s.

A Korean restaurant named Kimchi that serves marinated cabbage kimchi without kimchi. While living in the U.S. for two years, I went to all the Korean restaurants in quite a few cities in the U.S., but this place was really bad.

I don't see how this place can have anything above 1 star. We went there with 6 people for dinner. The owner walked by us twice without acknowledging us. Water is self service and Kimchi is not real kimchi. It's some cabbage with red pepper. Most of their food seemed dry and overpriced. Having more than one side dish is standard and if you must have only one it should be real kimchi. I have been to many korean restaurants in the world including Korea Europe etc.. this is by far, the worst one I have ever been to

Kim Chee #9?? More like Kim Chee #10. In fact, we didn't even get any kimchi with our food. A real Korean restaurant will serve many "bon chon" dishes along with the meal. This place only served some kind of regular cabbage that was no where near real Napa cabbage kimchi. The meats were so-so and salty. It was definitely a "No Repeat" for this joint.This place is nowhere even close to real authentic Korean food & service.
