Kim's Family Food Korean Restaurant

Affordable and pretty authentic Korean fare, what they lack in decor they make it up with the portions. They serve and incredible amount of side dishes, most are of good quality. The bulgolgi is as good as I remembered, not top quality beef but they give a lot per portion. Tofu stew was lacking in flavorful but similarly there’s a lot of ingredients. Place is ran by Koreans and they open till late which is fantastic.

We came here because another Korean restaurant we wanted to go got long queue, and we were totally amazed by the experience here! So we came in without queuing, dishes were served super fast after ordering. The first thing we were shocked by the quantity and quality of the free dishes. Then I was shocked that despite super busy atmosphere in the restaurant, the staffs were super friendly, and they constantly come and check our BBQ, never gave us a chance to flip the meat by our own. The result was our pork jaw cooked perfectly, damn nice to eat with the BBQ sauce.

Smelly, noisy, costly. They expanded to several units to cater more people unfortunately there is no proper ventilation in those new unit to suck up the fumes from BBQ from so many tables. It was so hazy until the floor was sticky with oil. Just make sure this is the last place to visit before you return home, you’ll smell like a well smoked pork. Furthermore, with so many people chatting over their meal, the bare wall accentuate the echo to an almost “deafening” 75 dB (I measured it). Finally, most of the item in their menu increased by around 15%, but I feel the quality is not as good as I remembered when it was still a humble original Kim’s Family Korean Restaurant, when it was still cozy and homey. During this pandemic, I suggest the restaurant to remember to check the vaccination status of the diner.

The only good thing about this place is the good service. The food is too expensive for the portion (paid $80 for everything), and it doesn't taste very flavourful either. The restaurant itself is too loud as well with pots clanging every second since it has an open kitchen and the staff keeps handling everything so fiercely for some reason.

First visit after hearing about it for the longest time. Impressive number of ban chan served here! The pancake side dish isn't refillable though. There is a minimum order imposed per pax. Staff is attentive and quick in serving our orders. Food is on the salty side and is relatively expensive, compared to other Korean restaurants. The portion doesn't measure up to its price. No Korean vibes in the restaurant. No TV playing K-pop, just plain walls filled with doodle. The place gets pretty smoky when more customers arrive for their BBQ. Probably wouldn't dine here again.
