" I can't praise the customer service at Kimchi House enough! From entrance to exit, the staff made us feel welcome. The dolsot bibimbap was heavenly, and the crispy rice at the bottom was just right! I also appreciated the attention to detail, as they provided a delightful array of banchan. It was great to see them interacting with other customers in a friendly manner. Will be back regularly for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Kimchi House and everything was quite delightful! We ordered the beef bulgogi along with various appetizers. The bulgogi was tasty and came with an abundance of sides. I found the portion sizes awesome, but I wish the ambiance were slightly improved, as it felt a bit cramped. The staff were friendly, thus, I didn't mind coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our lunch at Kimchi House was enjoyable! We shared a variety of dishes, including the traditional bibimbap which was colorful and fulfilling. The staff were helpful in explaining different items on the menu. The prices were quite reasonable for such quality food. Would recommend for anyone looking for cheerful service and authentic flavors in a laid-back setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my visit to Kimchi House, I tried the chicken teriyaki bento box and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was nicely grilled, but I felt the flavors could have been bolder. The service was alright, but I had to ask for refills on my tea multiple times. The atmosphere was charming, and it’s nice to have outdoor seating. Overall, decent experience but not enough to make me come racing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Kimchi House was not what I expected. While the staff was nice, the food didn't meet the mark. The bulgogi was bland and lacked seasoning; I had to pile on sauce to enjoy it. On the brighter side, the portions were quite generous. I think I’ll need to give it another chance as I might’ve just hit a bad day for the chef. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing experience at Kimchi House. I ordered the combo tofu soup, which was way too salty for my taste. It felt like it was just thrown together. Service was also lacking as I was ignored for a good 15 minutes even though I requested assistance. The atmosphere, though cozy, didn’t make up for the poor quality. I doubt I’ll return unless I hear promising reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family visited Kimchi House last weekend, and we had a mixed experience. The food was decent but didn't quite match the authentic flavors I'd hoped for. My bulgogi was tender, but lacked a good marinade. The service was friendly, but our waiter seemed overwhelmed with our table. On the positive side, the portions were quite generous. Overall, not a bad outing, but I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)
