Kimchi House Toronto: Reviews & Ratings
An excellent restaurant in Koreatown with some pretty delicious gamjatang (pork bone stew). Came here for lunch at 3 PM when there was virtually nobody in the restaurant and ordered a gamjatang for 14. Although the soup wasn't anything special, I was pleasantly surprised to see three HUMONGOUS pork bones that were absolutely loaded with meat. Usually, whenever I order gamjatang at other Korean restaurants, they only give two bones or three with barely any meat. Along with the delicious side dishes and bowl of rice they provide, I was left very full and satisfied. The lady working there was extremely nice and provided free refills to me whenever I wanted. I left a 20% tip and would easily visit this place again in the future. The soup could perhaps be enhanced with some more depth and seasonings. If you'd like a warm meal during the cold winter, come to this place and order a pork bone stew!
Loved this Korean place- great service and tasty food. I got some fried beef dumplings and Pork Bone Soup (Gamja Tang). Both tasted great. The side dishes were good too. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive.
Our first time and we weren’t disappointed. For a vegetarian like me I had a bibimbap with tofu. I wish they had more vegetarian options though but it was very tasty. Service was impeccable. The lady who served us was very friendly. My companion had pork and cheese cutlet. Very recommendable. We definitely would like to come back again.
Kimchi house is too good. It’s a really good one for authentic Korean food. Budaejiggae and the spicy squid stir fry is a must. The side dishes are delicious too. Woooow!!
We had a fantastic lunch experience at this korean restaurant. Everything we ordered was truly delicious and felt wonderfully authentic – a rare find these days! It was particularly special to see a family owned restaurant, which added another layer to the authentic atmosphere. The kimchi was a definite highlight, incredibly fresh and tastefully. The location was also excellent, and the restaurant itself was spotless, feeling very clean and welcoming. The owner were not only kind and polite but also incredibly efficient; our food arrived surprisingly fast. And you must try the Tteok-bokki, black bean paste noodles and miso soup beef – absolutely delicious!
Was recommended by a friend for their seafood pancake and it did not disappoint! It was flavourful and crispy without being overbearingly oily. Pork bone soup was also delicious; had the a good amount of meat, just wish it was a little spicier. Highly recommend and would definitely go back!
Amazing experience tonight at Kimchi house it was very authentic we had a spicy beef and octopus stew that came with little appetizers, the taste of everything was delicious, the service was excellent and honestly the price for this high quality is so appreciated in Toronto ! I'll be back to try more on the menu
If you ever tried Korean cuisines in S.Korea, and craving for the taste of them, this restaurant is the 100% right place for people curious and missing what local Korean food is like and most importantly, their consistency. These days, it’s hard to feel the hard works from dishes but I feel the appreciation on every single visits. Still amazing. Lol
