Kimchee Korean Restaurant

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally did tonight! I was craving italian pasta (which the Rosé Tteokbokki will satisfy a craving for) but I am so glad I went here instead. Food was phenomenal, service great, vibes great. I will definitely be back to try more! Every plate that came out of the kitchen looked amazing, I wish I could try it all!

Small family owned Korean restaurant in Bakersfield. The food is authentic and delicious and cooked with love by a real Korean mother. The restaurant is nice and clean. Staff are friendly and welcoming and feel like family. We are new to the area but this will in all likelihood become a go to spot for us. If you’re in the area this place is a must try!

Nice cozy and small restaurant in the open mall. Quite surprised by their food, wasn't expecting it to be that good. It has abouu 8 to 10 tables, quite small for a normal size restaurant, but definitely worth a shot. Service was good and food left me speechless, everything was fresh and even the chef, which I am assuming is the other as well came to check on us, and definitely we are going back. Wish they had alcohol too, they just have a very basic drink menu with can and bottle sodas and teas. I tried the Army stew Hotspot it came on a hot pot(something different), bubbling broth and it had a variety of vegetables and sausage and spam and even came with a purple rice, which infact is regular rice with colouring, but did disappoint at all, the broth was amazing and so was the marinated pork dumplings(first time I tried a marinated one).

Had a great experience at Kimchee Korean Restaurant. The boneless chicken was perfectly seasoned and really flavorful, and the dip it came with complemented it well. The gimbap tasted fresh and wholesome, yet still very satisfying. I also enjoyed the vegetable pancake — crisp, light, and packed with flavor without feeling heavy. The banchan tastes really good as well. Overall, everything felt well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. Would definitely come back.
