About Kim's

Kim's is a hidden gem that offers exceptional service, ambiance, and food. The restaurant's open and sunny space sets the tone for a serene dining experience. The menu is unique and diverse, with a range of Korean dishes that offer something for everyone. Standout dishes include the chicken and rice "cake" bowl, which is surprisingly filling and flavorful, and the Jjajangbap, a rice dish cooked with various mushrooms in a delicious sauce. The bibimbap is also a popular choice, served with a non-spicy sauce and pickled vegetables. The restaurant features traditional Korean dishes alongside some fusion items, such as Korean fried chicken wings that are very well seasoned and juicy, and rice cakes 'n' cheese that resemble mac 'n' cheese. The salmon bowl, made with barley instead of rice, appeals to barley lovers, and the desserts like tiramisu and marble bundt cake are highly recommended. The community dining experience, with tables like picnic benches where strangers share food and conversation, adds a fun and social dimension. Chef Ann Kim’s restaurant masterfully elevates traditional Korean dishes with bold flavors and modern presentation, creating a memorable experience. While some dishes like beef bulgogi and shrimp and vegetable pancakes may feel overpriced for traditional comfort food, the overall atmosphere and innovative approach make Kim's a must-visit for food lovers and locals alike. Vegetarian options are available, enhancing the variety of choices for diners.
