While out of town in Savannah, I wanted to hunt down some good local eats. I ended up trying out Kimchi 2 Restaurant. I will preface this with telling you, I have high expectations of any Korean food I eat. I grew up on home cooked Korean food and I love it. I know when I find the real thing and when I find the cheap knock offs. I will say when I walked in and called out a annyeonghaseyo and the server looked at me confused, I almost turned tail. I'm glad I stuck it out though. Food--9.5/10. To start, the drink selection is very limited. They do offer some Korean drinks but very limited on them and any other beverage. That's the only detriment I had to this meal. The mandu was fantastic crisp on the outside juicy and flavorful inside. Just the perfect yaki mandu. The dolsot bibimbap was top notch. It came out blazing hot and sizzling and given I have hearing issues that even I could hear a bit of the sizzle tells you it was really sizzling. So when you dig down into the bottom, there's that gorgeous crispy rice at the base of the dish. It came out with four perfect banchan. The kimchi was delightful and well fermented. The potato is always one of my favorite and I adored it. The oi kimchi was so crunchy and tangy and the little shredded cabbage with what tasted like a gochujang mayo was simple but delightful and had me wanting more. If I had one complaint aside from the limited beverages is that I like my bibimbap sauce to be a bit more tangy and a larger amount. Regardless, I'll be paying them a visit again very soon because there are so many amazing authentic Korean dishes on their menu that I can't wait to try. I only wish I lived closer. Service--8/10. The young lady who was serving was very attentive. That being said my only thing lacking is it was only her and as several more people arrived, she was less able to attend to the customers. She was very nice, polite and served as quick as she could, but as I said more people came in as my meal progressed, and I would've liked to have been able to ask for a little more bibimbap sauce. Ambiance--8/10. The exterior of the building leaves a lot to be desired. It's a very small strip of shops with very limited parking. However, where the exterior is lacking the interior is pleasant, clean and inviting. All in all, I would be back over and over again if I lived in the area and if you're in Savannah and you like Asian food and you have not tried this, you are missing out. read more

We were there a few minutes before 2 and was told lunch special is over. Cheap shot !!! We ordered the bulgogi plate and it was filled with more veggies than anything. Filled with chopped cabbage and carrots. That's a first and horrible .. If restaurant breaks at 3 o'clock keep lunch available till then . Then dinner at 5 when they reopen. Just senseless .. I think this is horrible that we couldn't order the lunch special.. Think twice about going there !! read more

Fantastic food and even better service. Dolsot Bibimbab is my favorite! 10/10 one of the best Korean spots in Sav

I first visited this restaurant when it was new in this location. At first, the restaurant was lacking something. Today, the restaurant is named KIMCHI 2. To conclude, the restaurant has improved a lot. The tteokbokki came with ramen noodles, which would appeal to Koreans and Native Americans alike. The bibimbap had enough rice and ingredients to make it very filling. The Yukgaejang is also above average in flavor despite its appearance. read more

Favorite place for a delivery of Korean food, (when it is open for dining it has very limited seating so I always order delivery). Rest assured, no matter how you order you will always get a fabulous, fresh, hot, delicious, flavorful and well prepared meal. One of my favorite places that never disappoints. Highly recommend. Favorites are Beef Gali, Bipimbap & Japchee.with all the fabulous sides. read more

Kimchi 2 Restaurant - Menu - Korean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I ordered the spicy seafood, but the side of fried rice, egg drop soup small, I also ordered the beef dumplings as the appetizer fried. As far as I can say my expectations was very high for this particular establishment. I am a fan of Korean food and I couldn't wait to see what Savannah had to offer The egg drop soup was nothing more than chicken broth and cooked egg whites and it was a extremely salty. read more

We have dined in, gotten take away, and ordered food from here on the apps countless times. It is consistently delicious and fresh!!! Service is always great. We love Kimchi 2! read more

Best Korean food in town, if I had to rate them down for anything it would be the obnoxious loud K Pop

Currently they are only doing online orders for takeout. It's worth it! Please don't let that stop you. I put in the order and it was about 25 min. It was ready when I got there. I got 2 orders of the lunch spicy bulgogi combo. 2 rice punch drinks and an order of cabbage kimchi. I requested additional meat because the portion looked small and it was worth it. I would definitely come back! read more

The food was so good! Service was great and our server was very kind . Cute seating areas. We were loyal to Korea Garden off Deranne in the plaza. But not anymore . We will BE GOING HERE from now on. 5/5 stars read more

I visited this place once about a year ago and then each time I'm in town it always looks like they're closed. But this time they had the open sign on. So I went in and talked to the waiter and he said that they're closed from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. or something like that. And that is literally the only downside of this entire restaurant. The staff are amazing and the food here is absolutely top-notch! The ordering is very straightforward, and the description on the menu is very easy to understand what you're getting. I got the spicy bulgogi and it was phenomenal!!! read more

Went to Kimchi with some friends for lunch all I can say is WOW!!!! Ive been twice and they have yet to disappoint, the first I went it was good, this time it was GREAT!

Our first time to Savannah and the Soontubu was made to perfection. Not too thick nor too watery. The taste was flavorful and service was great. Highly recommended. read more

Plastic straws were given unfortunately but the food was pretty good. They said the fried rice wasn't recommended when I ordered it. The portions were decent and so were the prices. The service was great. There was K-pop music playing and it was nice. Overall it was a good restaurant but not particularly amazing. read more

They are finally open for dine in again. Great authentic Korean restaurant in the Savannah area. Good food, quick and kind customer service. I use to get take out here at least once every few weeks but now that they have dine in, I might be coming more often. read more

I anticipate giving this restaurant another start when I can go back and try more of their offerings, but for today I had the spicy shrimp combo with steamed rice. I received two small fried beef dumplings, japchae clear noodles and some minor condiments with it. Everything was tasty, but the sever asked what heat level I wanted and the "mild" was a little underwhelming. Overall, though, it was a nice surprise and I WILL go back for more. read more

I ventured outside of the normal downtown Savannah restaurants thinking that it would be a bit more authentic. I was quite disappointed. I gave it 3 stars due to the followings: 1. Location: a bit out of the way from where we stayed, but not too bad. Seems a bit like the unfavorable part of town, but I didn't mind. I run faster than my husband anyway. 2. Price: I thought the prices were decent. 3. Service: they were actually really accommodating... very nice. 4. Food: this is where the stars fell. We ordered a seafood pancake, but it was very doughy. I'm used to the thin, crispy version of a seafood pancake. I also ordered a noodle soup which was kind of bland. I wish the favoring was more prevalent. Overall, might be my preference, but I'm sticking with the 3 stars and wouldn't come back. read more

I came on 4th July at 5:33 pm and the sign says open at 5:00 pm but the door was locked. I tried to call the restaurant but no one answer. Through the front door I saw there was a server inside playing on her phone... I guess they did t want my business so I left! read more

Two words, Dolsat Bibimbop! I've only came and ate here twice but both times have been pretty fair. My friend that brought me here the first time said that it's been the closest thing to authentic Korean food that he's had since he as stationed in Korea for military. I don't know since I've never had truly authentic (although I would love to try it!) but I say Kimchi2 is pretty good! The first time I came I chose to get the lunch special since I didn't know any better and it was very good. Reasonable priced, came with meat rice and veggies. Kimchi keeps the banchan coming also which is great bc I could fill up on their kimchi and spicy bean sprouts! ROUND 2: coming here I got the Dolsat Bibimbop bowl and mannnn it was the delicious. I've ordered a Bibimbop one other time and I loved it but this one topped it! Maybe because it was Dolsat or that it was more authentic, I'm not sure; but I loved it! I wanted to order another one it was so good! It came out sizzling and stayed hot the entire time eating it. I would continue to throw the kimchi and other spicy veggies in there just because I love it but the pure taste of the ingredients prior was enough to satisfy! I almost didn't want to put the sauce on there but once I got down to mostly rice I drenched it. Kimchi has always been an enjoyable experience and always leave satisfied! If you love Korean food and haven't been here yet I strongly encourage you to go! Our service here was also fabulous, very nice and courteous and didn't let us run out of anything! read more

I honestly wasn't a big fan of this place. I feel like it's too americanized and not very authentic Korean food. I did not like the yaki mandu at all and I usually love those. I think the food was just okay but it was great service. Our waiter was very kind. read more

One server so very slow to get orders or food. But once the food arrived it was some of best soups and Korean food I've ever had. I finished tons of food. Shredded beef soup was excellent and beef mandu Ban cha side dishes I had to get a second round They were good. I like the owner and waitress here. read more

Really enjoyed my first visit to Kimchi 2. Got the steamed beef dumplings, and they were fresh, hot and delicious. Followed that with hot pot bibimbap, and it was great. Fried egg on top was runny and yummy, and I enjoyed trying all of the banchan. Last but not least, all of the servers were incredibly nice and attentive, asking if I needed anything. They were all pleasant as well. I will be back and bringing friends, KDos, bank on it! 1/10/2020 first yelp update so not sure im doing it right, but i still love this place. food and service are consistently excellent, and I'm here regularly. Im very thankful to have a good Korean option in a small town like Savannah! read more

Kimchi 2 Restaurant - Menu - Korean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Reasonable prices & fast service, if you are looking to get your "Korean Craving" fix... this is the place! But don't expect a huge protein portion for lunch (3 stars bc sometimes the meat is too fatty). The kimchi and the sweet potatoes are very good. 11-13-19- Updated Review I went in last night looking for a quick bite (as I was killing time waiting for my son to finish swim practice), a bowl of egg drop soup and dumplings, as it was what I was craving (due to the weather), I was told I had to order a "meal" to be served. Needless to say, I am down grading my Stars to 1 as I am disgusted. Over the years I have spent many dollars here. Sorry but not sorry, I'll be spending my dollars else where moving forward. It's the principle. read more

Kimchi 2 Restaurant - Lunch: Spicy beef - Korean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

One of the owners of the Korean grocery stores once told me that the Korean population of Savannah was about 400 and now if you add me, 401. Not sure where she got that number from, but if that is any indication, Kimchi 2 is only one of two Korean restaurants in Savannah. Looking at the menu, they have a decent selection of dishes where you can get your Korean basics like Ddukpokki (spicy rice cakes, a popular Korean street food), Seafood Pancake, Bibimbap (get the Dolsot Bibimbap, the one in the stone bowl), the various bulgogis (chicken, beef) and noodle dishes like Japchae and Jjampong (Seafood noodle), different stews and soups and even larger type of stews for 2 people. I was surprised to see Mul Naengmyun which is a cold noodle soup dish that is usually more popular among Koreans. Parking - center lot parking. Plenty when we arrived around 5:30pm on Saturday. Service - we were immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was very attentive and came to check on us often. Vibe - The restaurant is nice and clean with a combination of old and new vibe. The decor has traditional elements like the theatre happy and sad face wooden masks and 3 different flat screen TVs all showing some sort of K-pop which were all showing content not suitable for our small children, but that probably was just bad timing, because not all K-pop is provocative! Nice to see the menu complete with both English translations and the Korean names in Hangul (so the Korean people like me know what they are trying to translate). What we ate - My kids had the bulgogi plate to share which came with a bowl of rice. Bulgogi is a marinated beef dish and I felt that this didn't seem marinated long enough for the flavors to really soak in but my kids didn't seem to notice. They finished it all between the 2 of them. My husband had the Dolsot Bibimbap. Always get the Dolsot when available! Unless you don't like temperature hot food, when you see Bibimbap or the Dolsot Bibimbap, always go for the Dolsot one! It comes in a stone bowl that has been heated and the Bibimbap arrives sizzling. They had all the basics of a Bibimbap but feel like the Bibim sauce was a tad runny for my taste. I had the Jjamppong which is a spicy seafood noodle dish. The squid in the dish was super tough and the noodles a bit overcooked. The meals come with 6 types of ban chan (complimentary side dishes to accompany your meal). Thumbs up to the number of different types! Usually the average number is 4 at most Korean restaurants. There were kimchi, bean sprouts, stewed potatoes, spicy cucumber, seaweed, spicy julienned radish. Pricing - Very reasonably priced for all dishes. Kid Friendly - they do not have a Kids specific menu, but you can never go wrong with the beef bulgogi or beef galbi (short ribs). The other meats are spicy. Another great choice for kids is Japchae, the sweet potato starch noodles and they also have beef dumplings and fried fish and if all else fails, there is Fried rice or just plain old steamed rice. There are high chairs and booster seats available. Considering there are 2 Korean restaurants in Savannah (and maybe one in Hinesville?), that is definitely better than NO Korean restaurants so I will take it! Will have to come back and try the soups next time! read more

I really like the appetizer I ordered. It's hard to find it here, but it's a street staple in Korea. The soup tastes good too. Price wise, it's similar to another Korean restaurant in town, but the pancake is two to three dollars more. read more

Pop-y atmosphere in an old strip mall. Ask for help with menu if you have allergies. They were playing K-pop when I entered so that was nice! Located on the edge of a strip mall, it doesn't look like much on the outside. I always got Dolsot Bibimbap at my old haunt in Cincinnati. I figured I'd order the same here to compare. I told the waiter I can't eat soy sauce and he confirmed the Bibimbap shouldn't have it. (I can't get gluten.) He later came back when he realized that all their meats are marinated in soy sauce or something similar. I opted for just a veggie bibimbap. It came out great but I kept adding more spice. Some like it hot! Next time: I'll see what other gluten-free items I can try! read more

Love the food but the ambiance is sometimes not as cozy--we often get it to go and it's our go-to local Korean Restaurant

After checking into a hotel nearby, we searched for a restaurant based on rating using Uber Eats. This korean restaurant popped the first. We ordered tofu soup with pork, bulgogi and tteok-bokki. They arrived in 30 minutes to the front desk. We are so pleased with speedy service and how well packed the meals were. Soon tofu was mild spicy and savory. Bulgogi, beef marinated with soy sauce, sugar, etc., was well cooked. Tteok-bokki was good but there were like three rice cake and the rest of it was ramen and oden. Meals come with a bowl of rice and side dishes. Steam rice was good, but fried rice was grossly oily. Recommend you choose steamed rice. Price was reasonable. Regardless, overall, it was an excellent meal for delivery. P.S. this was our first time using Uber Eats. Be aware that there is a delivery fee of $0.99, service charge of $4.99, and a tip (we did like 18%). read more

Food was great although it can be less salty. The wait was pretty horrible; 1 person in the kitchen and 1 person serving in the hall. I'd condense the menu and focus on what they can cook relatively fast. Other than waiting, it was pretty delicious and the staff lady was very nice. read more

First time ordering from here. The staff was attentive and kind. I ordered the beef bulgogi with white rice and fried pork dumplings. Everything was hot, and very tasty! I will be ordering from them again! (Currently they are take out only, from the time I arrived, ordered, and left was about 10 mins.) read more

We found this restaurant via google maps. What a delight. Greeter and waiter promptly sat us. Menu is clearly understandable. Lunch items are plentiful. Flavoring and taste are delicious. When it says spicy they mean spicy and will explain the heat. We love hot, spicy food so not disappointed. Most items are not spicy....by request. Atmosphere is acceptable to taking business clients or just a friend. Decor is very nice. I will be returning. read more

The food here is amazing! I am obsessed with the Dolsat Bibimbap. It's so much fun to eat! I love how crispy the rice gets and all of the vegetables are delicious. The gochujang sauce is so flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is seasoned very well. The side dishes are awesome and unlimited. The kimchi and clear noodles are my favorite! I am so glad to have found this place and will definitely keep coming back! read more
