| - Visited Kimchi for the first time today, and it seems to be a popular lunching spot as the doors were packed with waiting diners. At the 12-1pm mark, the lineup was reasonable at waits of about 10-15 minutes for pairs or small groups under 4 guests.
The food is what I think you'd expect - $16 bought me a bento box containing - 6 pieces of L.A. ribs, a small portion of tempura (one each of shrimp, squash, broccoli, and a couple others that I can't remember at the moment), a couple gyoza, a heaping bowl of rice, and a miso soup. Our lunches also came with a freebie serving of cold tofu and four small side plates of the usual banchan (like bean sprouts and kimchi).
L.A. ribs were tender, tempura was fried in well-maintained oil (unlike some other places where you can taste that the fry oil needs changing or that they didn't wait for it to come to temp before frying).
Plenty of booths, seating is spacious enough to be relatively comfortable for a short stay. Decor is...ehhh, nobody's there for the view anyway.
All in all, A-OK for a quick weekday stopover spot.
