| - Been here multiple times over the past 1.5 years and most recently last Sunday night for dinner with a gal pal. Definitely been to way better Korean restaurants in Toronto (Koreatown, North York, etc) in terms of food and value, but Kimchi Korea House is located super conveniently downtown near the Eaton centre and imo there's not a better Korean restaurant in this area downtown, i.e. waaaaaay better than Bapbo in terms of food and value.
Lessons learned-
1. Banchans (complimentary appetizers) are not unlimited, but I believe each table gets free refills for 2 choices.
2. Great service, usually. Especially if you speak Korean.
3. Grapefruit-flavored soju. Ask for it. That is all.
4. The bibimbaps are decent, smaller than the monster ones at Bapbo across the street, but plenty of ingredient variety. Vegans can rejoice since there is at least 1 option for y'all (ask them to omit the egg on top). The salmon bibimbap is pretty decent, as are the mushroom one and the tofu one.
5. The udon is huge (but mostly fluid) and looks soooo pretty with all those veggies on top. Recommend.
6. The spicy pollack stew $14.95 (pescatarian) - pretty big, but half of the volume is fluid. Generous amount of actual big chunks of fish, I was satisfied. For a cheaper and smaller fix for seafood cravings order the Soft Tofu Stew or Soybean Stew - seafood option $9.95.
7. Entrees come with rice. Purple rice (= black + white rice) is available at no extra charge, but you gotta ask for it.
8. Nothing here is spicy.
