“incredible fried chicken. unparalleled. nothing in the area can compare. it's so delicious.“

“Small and cozy restaurant with a banquet hall you can rent out for an event and karaoke. Menu is a little slim though. I always enjoy coming here. I ordered Korean fried chicken with hot/spicy sauce and Soga sauce and ate it with rice. It was delicious. Also, the seaweed salad and bugolgi was out of this world. Menu selection was very small and light was too dim but overall I always come back.“

“Had an amazing real good food just like at my friends house :) brings me back. Market I loved got more than I wanted :)“

“Kim’s Restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and it easily serves the best Korean food I’ve had in the entire RTP area. The flavors here are authentic, bold, and unforgettable. The squid and pork dish is an absolute standout—it’s a must-have for anyone visiting. Unlike other places where the sauce can be too sweet or overpowering, this dish is perfectly balanced. The savory flavors come through beautifully, making every bite more delicious than the last.

Another highlight was the seafood noodle soup. The spice level was spot on, not overwhelming but just enough to give it that perfect kick, while still allowing the fresh, seafood flavors to shine through. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it’s clear a lot of care went into crafting this dish.

One of the best things about Kim’s is that the portion sizes are very generous, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other Korean restaurants in the area. You get incredible value for your money, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s hard to find such great food at these prices, especially with portions that will leave you fully satisfied.

From the moment you walk in, the incredible aroma hits you, promising an authentic dining experience. You can immediately tell that this is the real deal, especially if you’re familiar with traditional Korean or Asian cuisine. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it’s easy to see the attention to detail in the cooking.

If you’re in the mood for top-tier Korean food, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates authentic flavors, quality dishes, and great value. Kim’s Restaurant deserves all the praise—it’s a place I’ll be coming back to often!“

“My first time at Seoul Garden. My friend Paul sat me and my son at a table that had a burner. It was really cool, that we could cook our food. My son was having fun cooking. I loved the food. The atmosphere. And the people were really nice. I would definitely come back.“

“Very good, as a customer you have many customization options for your bowls, maybe a little too much. I spend a good 7 minutes deciding what I wanted since I had to learn how everything works and analyze all the options. The bowl was very delicious and it lasted me almost 2 meals, sauces were amazing. A little pricey but I would definetly come back. I didn't eat in the lobby but it looked like a nice place to eat with friends.“

“Absolutely delicious!!!!!“

“They use the best Quality Food and always have stellar service, super clean too!“

“Best fried chicken restaurant in Raleigh! I used to enjoy BBQ fried chicken when I lived in South Korea, and I'm so glad I found a BBQ chicken place here in Raleigh. I highly recommend the golden original and spicy original, with 양념 chicken sauce on the side.

Parking: There is a lot of space for parking“

“My daughters recently encountered Bull Box for the first time, and they were enamored by the exquisite blend of flavors and the wide array of ingredients at their disposal. Upon sampling some other dishes, my palate was transported to a realm of culinary delight. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse this establishment as a must-visit during our time in North Carolina.“
