The bartender was extremely warm and welcoming and made some good recommendations on the menu. My friend and I ordered the pretzel bites to split and two different burgers with tots/fries. The food came out really quickly and was tasty. A few ingredients were out of stock, but the chef was able to get creative to still make the food tasty. The camp directions around the bar were very cute. The only thing I missed out on was trying to the smores, but there's always next time!

When I checked our account it seems that the "manager " and bar tender was looking for more tips!! We were given our receipt of $24 dollars, no problem.

Hopefully she'll be coached. Nasty thief.

After a long day of volunteering for the holiday, my friend and I were on the hunt for a good meal…read moreto reward ourselves. We stumbled upon Kimchi Box, and what an amazing find it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how spotless and inviting the place was. The lady behind the counter greeted us with a warm smile and genuine friendliness. She patiently answered all our questions about the menu and never once made us feel rushed, even as we took our time deciding. Truly some of the best customer service I've experienced! Once we sat down, the food started arriving, and it looked (and smelled) incredible. We started with the gyoza, which was perfectly crispy and cooked to perfection. Next came the sweet chili chicken wings--seasoned just right, with the perfect kick of spice. I ordered the honey garlic popcorn chicken, which came with beautiful purple Korean rice, a fresh side salad, and a tangy kimchi salad. Every bite was delicious--I didn't leave a single crumb on my plate! My friend raved about her bulgogi taco, and together we demolished the gyoza and wings. The vibe inside is cozy and welcoming, a big contrast to its humble exterior in the plaza. If you're in Tacoma and craving something delicious, Kimchi Box is a must-try. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

Order at the counter or order online like I did and pick up. 4 instead of 5 stars because the kimchi box no longer has jap chae and all the japchae options are now more expensive, and jap chae was unavailable for online ordering on clover ("noodle box"). Kid friendly - if your kid likes meat and rice, or chicken wings. Food is always good with quick friendly service. I liked it a little better with the original menu (see above) but it's still probably my go to spot since it's closer than driving to South Tacoma Way for Korean food.

I'm not sure how often they clean the nozzles on the taps, but it needs to be done more often I would think. we ordered the wings, when they came out, they were piping hot, and we were excited until about the third wing in for each of us. After the wings have been on the table for about 10 minutes, the honey jalapeño started to congeal, and the other flavor breading just started to fall off. Unfortunately, this is not the place for wings anymore, or beer until they clean those nozzles. Super nice and helpful bartender.

The restaurant was already busy right when they opened, so I definitely recommend making reservations in advance. Even with how packed it was, the service was warm, attentive, and everything came out beautifully paced. The food was incredible across the board. The chicken schnitzel is always my go-to and my mom completely understood the hype; crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the slaw and rice. The scallops were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the burrata bread pudding appetizer was such a standout that the whole table was talking about it. We also tried the tapioca dessert (not pictured) and I already know I'll be ordering it again next time. One of those places that manages to feel lively and trendy while still being comfortable and welcoming. Great food, great atmosphere, and consistently one of my favorite dinner spots in the city.

They have relocated onto Broadway now to a larger location. There was a line to get in! Perhaps 30 to 40 were waiting when we arrived. Reservation are HIGHLY recommended.

Sam our server made sure we had everything to enjoy our experience at their establishment. Crafted cocktails a Hugo Spritz & a paperplane were perfectly mixed. Finally for dinner we both had a chicken sandwich plus crispy fries to complete a memorable experience! Yes we will def be back! Thanks for ALWAYS making our dining experience a great one!

You could really see how well the team worked together--everyone was helpful and attentive. I asked for my wings to be cooked well-done and was even given the option to select how long I wanted them cooked. I chose 25 minutes, and they came out perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Overall, a smooth experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back!

Older Man with a moustache that was standing outside the door, blocking me from leaving. I said excuse me and he ignored me and continued his conversation with somebody else outside, making me wait even though it was pretty clear that I collected my order and was trying to leave. It's been a long day and I did not pay money to come here and have somebody who works there treat me like their conversation was more important than letting me leave. This was completely disrespectful.

I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!!

They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

He had the Blueberry waffles and chicken and I had the Southern Cornbread and spicy chicken. The food was good, the chicken was moist and truly spicy!! The service was TERRIBLE! The girl that took our order was not happy to be there AT ALL! We stepped up to the counter to order, forget asking any questions. You could not understand what even her question of dipping sauce or original or spicy was. Not in a language barrier way but she was basically whispering in a way to not engage. It seemed like there was a steady stream of customers so for the owner that is nice, I am glad for that but I wouldn't run back due to the very unfriendly service.

We got there and as the food had not been started yet, we asked for cheese on half of it only. They said they don't do that which is a lie, because I have gotten it like that several times. Ten minutes after it should have been done, I went to check....not started. Asked the cheese request again, NO. When I got the food, about 15 minutes late, I asked to speak to the manager. The female clerk refused to get them because they were slammed. It is not an eat in place, only us and one person were waiting for food. She still refused to get him. I let her know Yelp and Ubereats would be hearing about this. I, in the past, have high recommended this place because of what they do for the community. After today, I will never return.
