| - I went as a third wheel on a hot date this evening, and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I've been slowly making the rounds, trying to determine which Korean restaurants I like best in the city, and this is probably a contender for first place at this point. Mind you, I have lots more to see/taste. Kimchi Korea House is clean with ample seating and has cozy booths as well as tables.
So first, the service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but not overbearing. The lithe young man who was taking care of our table helped explain a menu item as best he could, and checked in to ensure we enjoyed the items we inquired about. Additionally, he set down my glass of water - I kid you not - with a flourish. A FLOURISH.
Two of us ordered the bulgogi bibimbap, and the third ordered the pork bone soup. The dishes were filling, hot and fresh. The bibimbap was perfect, but the pork bone soup could have used some sort of acidity or vinegar or spices to cut through some of the thick, fatty flavours. The "fixins", as we call them, were interesting and had some different flavours than what I'd tried before at other establishments, including tofu, kimchi, bean sprouts and potatoes. Our menu items were reasonably priced but I did notice several items outside of the soups and stews that seemed slightly steep.
I'd definitely recommend it to those in the area, and would certainly try other menu items in the future. Alas, I have many more Korean restaurants to try, and discerning taste to develop.
