Everything here is good, but the fried chicken dishes are incredible. I want to know how they do it. The wings, chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken are some of the very best fried chicken I have ever had in my 44 years and it has been consistently good every time. The wings are made with high-quality generously sized wing pieces. They’re much bigger than the average wings you get at other places. We ordered it take-out every time and it still arrives hot and crispy and delicious. Don’t be put off if you are unfamiliar with or don’t particularly enjoy Korean cuisine. If you like fried chicken, you’re going to love this. Aside from the chicken I have also ordered and loved their Kimchi fries and beef bulgogi.

This is the one place I will take the time to walk or spend the money I don’t have on DoorDash. I love the food here so much. I always get two meals out of one. The portion is very generous. The premade boxes are always well thought out and making your own is also great. The have this one coffee ice cream in the squeeze bag which is my favorite dessert there. Highly highly recommend

Kimchi Box feels more like a kitchen than a typical restaurant. During the school year, I’d go there 3 to 4 times a week—it became one of my go-to spots.
It might seem unusual to order tacos and chicken wings at a Korean place, but they’re actually really tasty! The food has a fun mix of flavors, and I always enjoy it.
The service is also great—always warm and welcoming. Definitely a favorite of mine!

The authentic flavor of Korean foods. Love this place, have a lot of variant from rice, noodles, snacks 👍 the restaurant is clean, they have indoor and outdoor seat. The price is not expensive and the portion is good. My favorite is chicken wings, we can choose half and half for sauce so that's great!

This place is always good. Great value, super tasty food, and really fast. I have to limit the amount of times I get takeout because it's just that good.

Loved it! Fast casual korean joint with sandwich options and delicious fries. I had the bulgogi beef Bibambop and it was HUGE with rice, noodles, kimchi, beans, etc....i am eating leftovers for a full lunch today. I believe I paid $16. The staff was super friendly and brought food to us promptly along with condiments. This place will be my new hangout for lunch

The store closes at 9pm. I call at 8:30pm to place an order so that I can pickup before it closes, however, the employees at the store purposely ignore the call so that they don’t have to work. I called 5 times!! Ultimately, I arrive at the store at 8:40pm and place the order in person, making me wait. I explain to the female employee what happened and she makes up an excuse saying that phone wasn’t working. I call the number again and it rings just fine. Insane how they would lie and not take an extra order. Please discipline your employees. The store closes at 9pm so they should not be prepping to close at 8:30pm.

On the way to Chicago, the kids were hungry, so we took out bulgogi kimbap and tteokbokki to eat in the car. It was so delicious. The tteokbokki was really delicious and spicy, so we inhaled it a lot🥹 We found out later that there is a large parking lot at the back of the store, so if you want to eat at the store, you can park there.😊

Parking: The parking lot is behind the store.

One of my favorite options for food in E.L.! Service is fast and food is really good. They have a few locations, the first one I tried was in Novi. Never been disappointed after going to Kimchi Box.

Second time to try Kimchi Box and the place was good. I got a chicken burger first time and kimchi fries the second time. I liked the kimchi fries more than the chicken burger, but overall it was okay. The place is nice and the fire is beautiful.
