really great food :) after a rough week of studying and exam i love treating myself here

I'll begin by saying Kimchi Box pales in comparison to the late Seoul Street. But the food is authentic and a treat. First issue is the limited seating. Especially in bad weather. There is also a weird stench that I can't put my finger on. Finally, it's way too loud to enjoy a meal. I will say the chicken is fantastic. As was the Bulgogi Kimbap. The spicy mayo was tasty and along the rice, complimented the nori/egg/fish cake. The bulgogi was marinated exceptionally. Among the best kimbap I've had. Well done! PRO TIP: Bring friends and share. Get the best of all taste sensations. I highly recommend: Duk Bok Ki. Not too spicy rice cakes and egg is a nice balance. The Veggie Fried Dumplings. 6 dumplings with a healthy mix of protein and cabbage. I still like it here. But, it appears to be slipping. Let's hope they shore that up. Currently, the cons slightly outweigh the pros. The food is great. It was better when they were Seoul Street, but I digress. Incredibly fast service and polite staff. Counter that with the dining area issues listed above. I'm going to be driving up the middle on this one. 11/24 read more

Had a hankering for Korean fried chicken and this hit the spot! Ordered quite an assortment for trying Kimchi Box for the first time, and the chicken was the standout. Extra large, super crispy fried skin/batter, and juicy chicken. Even for delivery, these arrived hot and crispy. Tried 3 flavors - Snow Flower, Soy Garlic, and Korean Sassy. I can only guess which was what, though I feel pretty confident about my guess. All were super tasty! Only small complaint is that it was noted as with radish and there was no radish. Also enjoyed the veggie potstickers, especially with the vinegary sauce. Kimchee fries were good, nothing amazing. I did like that despite being very saucy, the fries seemed to hold up really well and didn't get soggy. Japchae was solid. The spicy pork box was delish! Appreciated having some vegetable (overall this was not a very veggie centric meal haha), and the spicy pork itself was delicious. Fun to sample everything and then have great stuff in the fridge for leftovers! read more

Seoul street is gone. Kimchi box is here. Looks amazing! Late lunch, no wait for service though it is self order at a kiosk for takeout or dine in. Ordered, paid and sat. Lady at the counter was very nice. The menu looks delicious. Can't wait to try more of the items. Ordered personal combo of chicken, spicy rice cake and side of kimchi. It was a lot of food. Really good but a bit too saucy for my taste. The rice cake was very hot. Quick little spot with loud music and upbeat vibe. Great for takeout or eat outside. read more

I've like Kimchi Box for a while now, having been to a few locations in the area over the years. However, due to the proximity to my house, I've only done carryout and/or delivery at this Ann Arbor location and it's been great each time. My usual go to is the Korean fried chicken wings with the soy garlic glaze and it never disappoints! They're always perfectly fried, nice and crispy goating with juicy meat inside. And I don't know where they source their wings because these wings are HUGE but I'm not complaining! For sides I've tried a few things including their sassy fries, pork dumplings, and moz dogs. My husband's usual go to is the bibimbop with either bulgogi or tofu as his protein of choice and he raves about both. Chicken is fried to order so prepare to wait just a bit, I swear it will be worth it! read more

Located where Seoul street used to be. I think kimchi box is a much better version of Korean fried chicken with much friendlier service. There menu options are also more interesting than Seoul street. Inside is very few tables they do have some outside seating but for me this will be a take out place. They pretty reasonable prices $7.95 for a very satisfying flavorful chicken sandwich Popeyes cannot compare. For an extra $4 can add sassy fries, the fries were very crispy despite being drenched in a mayonnaise based sauce. My wife's spicy pork box was very flavorful similar to the spicy pork you would get a tomukun Korean bbq. The kimchi was strong, had good spice, but not enough garlic for me. Will definitely come back for lunch and their fried chicken. read more

I tried the bibimbap with bulgogi and chicken. Bulgogi was ok, chicken was bland. I like the choice of vegetables they use and I also ordered some pickled radish, very good. The japchae was good. The guy at the counter was very friendly. Kiosk for ordering. They have diet Mt. Dew. I will say that the menu was a little deceptive in showing purple rice as the rice option when they only have white rice. I prefer purple rice so I was not happy about that. Overall, it was a good experience though. read more

Disclaimer that we did not order a ton of food here, so our sample size is small. The popcorn chicken was good, but their to-go boxes have holes in them, which we found odd. The chicken was basically room temperature by the time I got home. And the vegetable dumplings were just bad. The filling was fine but the wrapper had a stale texture... it was unlike any dumpling I've ever had, and not in a good way. I don't feel like it was a bad enough experience for 1 star. Maybe the food would've tasted better had we eaten there, but seating is pretty limited. Sadly I don't think we'll be back to find out. read more

The food was really good and authentic. The chicken wings are always my go-to. Service was quick. The place is really tiny but has sufficient seating. Not good for big parties, it's more like a quick meal or to-go spot. read more

I've been to the Kimchi Box location in Auburn Hills, so I was excited to try the Ann Arbor location! I ordered the soy garlic wings (6 pcs) and bulgogi tacos. The wings were made to order, but the wait wasn't long at all. The wings came out hot and very crispy; it was the perfect portion size, and I loved the soy garlic sauce. Gloves are also provided if you don't want to get your hands dirty! The bulgogi taco was larger than I expected, and it was delicious too. It was topped with lettuce, pickled onions, and sassy mayo. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but it's meant to be fast-casual so tables free up pretty quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed it! read more

One star because the order was available when I came to pick it up, unlike Seoul Street. However: 1. They haven't fixed the door--still a pain to push and pull when getting in and out. 2. They forgot the radish with my order. (If anyone wants to go "maybe you came at a busy time," I went during the football game. It was dead in there.) 3. The fried chicken is, frankly, terrible. I'd gone there to try it out because I haven't had Korean fried chicken since before the pandemic, and all I know is that I miss Seoul Street, cranky service and all. The strips were dry and stringy, the thighs marginally better. The sauce is sweet, but lacks the oomph Seoul Street's had, and the skin isn't as crispy. Overall, it was basically fried chicken jerky. I would have been more forgiving if I'd come around last year when they first opened, but it's been almost a year since they did. Guess I'll look somewhere else for Korean fried chicken from now on. read more

Great food and the price was reasonable. I was able to try the kimchi fries, dukboki, and the bulgogi burger. Will try again! read more

This used to be Seoul Street but it seems they got bought by Kimchi Box. Luckily though they still have the same amazing chicken as before! I'd like to address some of the other reviews on here as well, because while it's great to have many contributions, please keep an open mind about things. First of all, their opening time is at 12pm yes, but on average it takes them about an hour to prepare and make some of the menie items. specifically the chicken. At least that's the case when it was a Seoul Street a few months ago. Second, the boxes will probably have holes in them due to the fact that condensation in the boxes causes most of the food to go soggy and for many of their food that makes it less enjoyable. There will never be a full proof method of keeping fried or steemed items piping hot even if you live close by. We ordered food to go as well and even though it wasn't as crispy as when we first grabbed it, the flavours were still amazing. We got their drumsticks in both the soy garlic and spicy sauces, the chicken strips in soy garlic, and their steamed pork mandu. the chicken was crispy when we took a bite right when we got it and the mandu was juicy and the sauce added lots of flavor (we all took a bite in the car, that's why it doesn't look as nice. but the mandu comes in its own box with sauce)! read more

This place has the worst customer service. I tried to do a pickup order, and it went horribly wrong. The older man couldn't understand English and I had to repeat myself at least 10 times. He continued to ask what was the ingredients I wanted on the order. He clearly couldn't comprehend at all. My man went to pick up the order and he over charged him, and tried to make him pay for the wrong order. He tried to charge him for three meals. I only ordered one meal. Needless to say I won't order anything from them anymore!! read more
