Kimchi House - Seattle

Kimchi House is more than just a restaurant, it's a home. As a single woman exploring Seattle, I found a undeniable truth here: anyone with $40 to spare will find satisfaction in the entrees and appetizers at Kimchi House. This place exudes comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging. Every bite I took transported me to the scene in Ratatouille where Anton Ego is brought to tears by the flavors of the dish. The seafood pancake and spicy chicken entree made me feel connected to the universe with each bite. The kimchi, fish cake, and radish exploded with flavor in my mouth, creating a sense of pure bliss. Dining at Kimchi House will leave you feeling grateful for every decision that has led you to this moment. In the words of Chappell Roan, I found myself knee deep in the passenger seat, savoring the leftovers on the drive home. And it was anything but casual.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! I've been searching for authentic and delicious Korean food in Seattle with little success, but this place is a definite standout. We arrived around 1:30 on a Sunday and found all the tables full, but they were clearing out slowly. The staff kindly allowed us to order ahead while we waited for a table, so the food preparation began promptly. I ordered the pork belly, which was served with a bowl of rice and various side dishes. It was a bit strange that not all the items listed on the menu were included in the banchan, but all the side dishes were tasty, with a good variety. My favorites were the fishcakes, sweet potato, and pickled radish. I especially enjoyed the perfectly grilled pork belly, which had a nice balance of fat and meat. The soy glaze complemented the meat and rice wonderfully. We were offered refills of the banchan, which was a nice touch. The service was friendly, and our food arrived quickly and was delicious. Everyone in my group loved their dishes, and I can't wait to come back and try more!

Someone picked up several plates for a picnic so all I know is what I tasted. Don't know exactly what they ordered but took some photos. We eat a lot of Korean food here in Honolulu, but I could taste a difference in this food. Don't know exactly how to describe it, but it was very good. Good enough that I asked the name of the place, took photos, and posted this review so I'll remember to go back when I'm in Seattle!

Solid Korean food, we really enjoyed the Kalbi and soondubu stew. Cute restaurant and parking on the street was easy and free. Would definitely recommend. Good prices and friendly service too.

We were really craving tofu soup and saw that this place was nearby. It's a really small store with street parking. Small space inside, with mostly pick up/food delivery orders. They were pretty slammed when we got there and it took a while for our food to arrive. It was to the point where we were wondering if they forgot to make one of our dishes. My (Korean) partner felt that the food was unauthentic and the taste was very one dimensional. I thought that the food tasted pretty standard. Wasn't worth the wait, but I would consider ordering takeout.
