The food is pretty good. They do 1.5 things that really, really annoy me. First, they always bring smashed potatoes to every table and say “compliments of your server.” No it’s not. They just bring everyone potatoes. Imagine how obnoxious it would be to go to a Mexican restaraunt and get brought chips/salsa and staff try to pretend it was this act of generosity from the server. Second, if you make the mistake of ordering smashed potatoes, they still charge you for it!! It’s like an unfamiliarity tax—if you don’t know about the “compliments of” shtick, then you need to pay extra. Maddening.

I’m giving all the stars for one reason: Masha. We like eating here and enjoy the food and service consistently. We’re Koreans and don’t expect traditional Korean food here : Miss Kim has its own special identity. I’m writing this review because I just got off the phone with Masha, who was absolutely amazing while helping me confirm my reservation for my daughter’s graduation. I needed to adjust it form party of 3 to party of 4, and as you can imagine, everything is fully booked everywhere. However, she took the time to reconfigure and rearrange and made it happen. She was so friendly and competent, it truly surprised me. Absolutely wonderful experience with this staff. Give this person a raise! Wow! Bravo!

The staff is so friendly and amazing and the food is so good! I am in disbelief just how good it was! We got carry out but what a great little spot! When I picked it up I was wishing that we were dining in! They have a menu you can pay it forward for a family in need of food too! I will definitely be paying it forward! They are a great establishment and they used to have a free menu that fed our family a few times when we were without. The staff was always kind and friendly too.

Overall it was a good first experience! We made a reservation for the weekend and it was packed, the tables are super crammed together. The food was good! We got the smashed potatoes, fried tofu and cauliflower twigim. The wait time was over an hour, which was off putting. The server was nice and did the best he could.

Miss Kim has a reputation in Ann Arbor for being a good restaurant. I was very disappointed in my meal. I had the Tteokbokki Street Style - Small Portion. There was very little pork belly in this dish, I counted three very small pieces. It was mostly rice cake and sauce. The portion itself was small and $17.00 The real crime was charging $7.00 for a Mexican Coke. Characterizing my meal as over priced mediocre would be a compliment. There are many other good Korean restaurants in Ann Arbor, I do not recommend Miss Kim’s at all, very disappointed.

Had dinner on a work trip in January, Miss Kim's was an excellent choice! They were super accommodating, attentive and patient with all our questions. All the staff was so friendly, genuine and funny. As far as the dinner goes... the ingredients were fresh, chicken was tender and the Bulgogi was lights out. If I ever make it back to Ann Arbor, I'll be dining again at Miss Kims!

The food, the ambience, the service everything is amazing! We started dinner with mocktails, tteokbokki, smashed potatoes and broccolini and had fried chicken and fried tofu as the main dishes. Everything tasted wonderful. We ate so much food that we didn't have room for dessert! Money well spent! We'll be back

My food was not good. The braised rib was very fatty with hardly any meat. The rice was the best part of the entree. The French 75 was very good. Our entrees were not brought out at the same time and the last person in our group was finally served after most were half way through their meals. Had heard good things but left very disappointed.

Such a great place to eat out at! The food comes out fairly quickly but the presentation is flawless and beyond delicious.
All menu items are worth trying at least once. Very much looking forward to coming back! Only thing I'd love to see is more varied local art on the walls!
10 out 10!!!

Fantastic Korean food! The smashed potatoes, fried cheese and lotus root were so delicious. The japchae was to die for! As Indians, we're used to spicy and savory food and Miss Kim hits the right spot. I'll definitely come back again 😁

When looking for best food in AnnArbor, Miss Kim’s popped up time and time again, after giving it a try, it is safe to say I was not missing out. Although being one of the most expensive menu items, the beef short rib was mostly fat and not very flavorful. The Korean fried chicken was cold, soggy, and dry. Sad to say the best things I ate were the smashed potatoes and rice. Overall the flavors do not do the price justice.
