Boonshiknara - Lakewood

We stopped here on our way through town. It was an awesome place to grab good food. The restaurant is in the back of the shop. Pick up some homemade jerky or the cucumber kimchi on the way out, too!

Reminiscent of a Korean/Katusa snack bar. This hidden Gem in Lakewood will not disappoint. Humbly located inside the back corner of a Korean Grocery store, can provide you with the authentic type of dishes Korea has to offer. With seasonal Ban-Chan side dishes that comes with refills, this worthy establishment is good in books, and for others to give a try if you have the Nostalgic cravings for healthy Korean fast food. Owners are very attentative and friendly, they offer take out and catering. Love seeing this family owned and operated business, Thank you Kimchi Bistro.

After COVID I only order the food to go. Packaging is always well done and they do their best to accommodate your order which I appreciate because I have OCD. There 's many vegetables I hate and others I can only eat when prepared in a certain way so when ordering out I tend to say 'only green onion and carrots no other veggies ' etc. I really appreciate their conscientiousness! I 've fasted, detoxed, and I 'm allergic to MSG and I have never gotten sick from their food. It 's healthy and excellent. Thanks for your patience and excellent service dear She 's always ready with the food in 10 or 15 minutes as she indicates too! Sometimes I decide to go just for her crispy cabbage salad with homemade sauce Everything tastes good!!! I think it 's because it 's fresh and made from scratch. Love the convenience of the store and the fabulous restaurant inside that utilizes quality ingredients from the store and tastes so soooo good!!! Tasty cheese beef Ramen, chicken teriyaki rice, and fried fish with shrimp. Comes with sea weed, kimchi, and a delicious white sauce for fish. All this for $26 plus free barley tea?! Absolutely incredible experience, need to return!! (Drools and pats extended stomach) Nice enough to accommodate extra plates so my brother and I could share each dish. Nice bilingual waitress who speaks English but is willing to listen to you fumbling around in Korean and respond back. Definitely recommend all around ^ ^

I really enjoyed it here. A little hidden gem. The staff was really nice and the food had sooo much flavor! The restraunt is in the back of the Korean store on the right as you walk in. Not a lot of tables and the parking was slim. But I am still giving them a 5 star!

Small but authentic. Located inside an Asian market grocery store, 8 tables of about four seats each.
