Kim Chi - Korean Delight

Hi, so this is my third time ever reviewing. And I’m doing so to avoid others the mistake of eating here. Food was not authentic at all and no egg on the bipinbop. All the items and dishes I ordered was at best a typical stir fry you get at a mall except more stale. I wouldn’t even consider this food as Korean! Don’t go here, trust me.

So was contemplating what to rate this place but settled on 1*.

So firstly I ordered an aquafina water bottle for 2.75 and paid. Then realized it was "Naya" water I got. I later went searching to see if there was a Dollarama in the store and sure enough there was (which had aquafina for 1.5$ and Naya for 0.5$). Anyways so immediately disappointed but didn't want to make a scene so just accepted it.

Then secondly, we ordered a good amount of food and Kalbi mix was almost all rice. Also the bulgogi rice (12$) was hardly anything and the bulgogi was burnt.

Not that it necessarily matters but no Koreans working here? Anyways... Overall I would have rated it a 3* but paying the water bottle knocked off 2*. Not sure I'd recommend anyone this place. Lots of yummiest and more affordable competitors that dont trick you.

Waited for 5 minutes to be acknowledged by the two employees who were too busy talking in the corner, portion was small and not worth the price, ordered the #5 with chicken and there was literally no chicken in it, like what the hell? Got dirty looks and scoffed at because i didn't tip. Why would I tip for crappy low quality service? Definitely not coming back

My first time eating here. Very very disappointing. A little more than 2/3s of my bowl was rice, 1 very thinly beef rib 5mm thick and the little leg of a chicken wing was my protein. I would not recommend eating here. I did not pay for a bowl of rice essentially.

Used to come to this place all the time when I was at the mall, and the food was always very good. Lately I’ve noticed the quality of the food has been so much worse than it used to be. I always see new staff there & it seems they just hire anyone at this establishment because I do not think some of these people should be serving food. I decided to go for lunch today (against my better judgement) and got the same thing I always get, the beef soup. When I went to eat I noticed the meat looked a bit off. I’m used to seeing all the inedible fatty pieces and usually just pull them off with my hands, but there were some other white fatty pieces I hadn’t noticed before. I went to touch the meat to remove some of the fat and it was freezing cold. I don’t even know how this is possible, it’s as if they just took the meat straight out of the freezer and put it in the soup. It turned me way off and I totally lost my appetite. Very disappointing and a complete waste of $15.

I got the Japchae and it was so salty I only ate 3 bites before throwing it out and getting food from somewhere else.

I was also disappointed because it was a dish advertised as being served with vegetables, but there was only a very few thin strips of pepper, and slivers of onion.

Vegetarian options: Tofu is offered as a protein.

It was alright.

The Japchae was pretty flavorless and soupy. I counted maybe two pieces of chicken. The service was fantastic and friendly.

Glad I gave it a shot but there's other things to eat in the food court.

Service was kind! I ordered the Kalbi mix.. medium spice during a busy time and the meal was made very quickly. Very spicy but also flavourful. I enjoyed. :)

The dumplings were nicely cooked as well.

It’s fine. Service is really good, food is okay. It’s food court food. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it for sure. The rice was a little sad and the chicken a little bonier than expected. The dumplings didn’t have much flavor

Choose other places to eat. Ordered rice and noodles - both terrible, tastes really bad
