The kimchi soup was too sweet. The spicy pork Bulgogi was also too sweet. Overall, it would be OK to have lunch, but for the price I would go somewhere else. The price with small portions and not exactly traditional with too much sugar in the food. The spicy beef soup was actually very good and the Kim bop was also tasty but I thought it should have a little meat in it. It was OK but when I asked for a replacement egg for the beep and my daughter ordered. I was told I would be charged for the extra egg due to an egg shortage. I don't mind paying for extras, but I don't think they should have over fried the egg on a beeping box dish. The egg yolk should be runny to where you mix it into the rice and the meat and the vegetables, mix it all together. you get five items with your dishes for three people. All in all the price to me was not quite worth what I was getting and the restaurant which is kind of usual for a Korean restaurant, was in an old building that was painted all red inside with red boot to match. Not really my cup of tea, but I might stop in for some spicy beef soup and Kimbo if I'm in town. read more

Best Korean restaurant in Macon. She always cook good foods. My daughter and granddaughter and I always get seafood pancake. Seafood tofu soup kalbi. I recommend if you want to taste real Korean food go there!!!! read more

We just finished another perfect and authentic meal at the Kimchee Factory. The seafood pancake and savory egg custard appetizers were absolutely delicious. The entrees of soft tofu stew with seafood (sundubu-jjigae) was so full of depth and flavor. It could not have been better! And the side rice was good! The free side dishes are in the photo. ...six great little tastes of Korean food. This family owned and operated restaurant is one of my Macon favorites! Check it out and you will keep going back for a wonderful dining experience! read more

Kimchi Factory - Free side dishes! - Korean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

I only eat one meal per day. I have black coffee, unsweetened green tea and water all day long until I finally put the first amount of food in my mouth around 5pm. So that's how I know that the meal that I ate around 5pm today at Kimchi Factory caused the mess in my pants this evening before I could even get out of my car at the hotel I'm staying at 15-20 minutes north of the restaurant. I've made good use of the toilet twice since being back in my room. And my BM's are always only one time per day, within two hours of waking, before I shower. So I know that Kimchi Factory is responsible for this nonsense. Even before this, I have to admit, I couldn't quite figure out what the appeal was. Prices are pretty darn high for a hole in the wall place with just ok food. I've eaten Korean recently in Duluth, Commerce and Cumming that blow this place away. Just not getting it and not happy that I'm paying the price now. Pork Bulgogi and Dumplings was what I ate. read more

We were looking for something to eat on the way from Savannah to the airport. We looked up restaurants in Macon and this was an obvious choice! Service: excellent!! We enjoyed our interactions and my daughter loved our server. Food: all four of us couldn't have been happier!! My mom and I shared the dol sot bibimbap and my brother had the kimchee jjigae. My 4yo ate the seaweed soup with rice and loved it! The ambiance was just right for our quick lunch before heading out of town. Would definitely stop here again!! read more

Kimchi Factory - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Authentic Korean cooking, kimchi best around Macon. The meals are expensive and they were very sparing with the beef. Probably will not go back. They're better Korean restaurants in Macon, just probably more Americanized, that's probably why I like them more!, read more

I had the stone pot bimbimbop. It was delicious! Everyone in my party that ordered it also completed their one bowl.

My family & I dined at the Kimchi Factory over the weekend & really enjoyed our meal. Our waiter, Sunny, was great! My parents ordered the Kimbab appetizers (one pork & one beef) & raved about them. My mom liked the Kimbab appetizer more than she liked the beef Bulgogi she ordered as her entrée. My dad ordered the pork Bulgogi & it was very good! The veggies were nice & crunchy & the pork was seasoned to perfection & tender. My mom's beef Bulgogi was okay. It did not have a lot of the Bulgogi sauce on it & she said the meat was kind of tough. I ordered the dumplings as an appetizer & they were VERY GOOD! Steamed to perfection & tasty! I think you get a total of 6 dumplings. For my entrée, I ordered the LA Galbi (beef short ribs) & they were kind of tough also. The seasoning was good but I wouldn't order it again. We also loved the eggplant & bean sprouts that came out with our dishes. Both were very tasty. Parking wasn't difficult, because we arrived when they first opened, but I could see it being an issue if you arrive when they're very busy. The spaces are tight & few. There are a lot of 'Do not park' or 'Reserved' areas that I fear could get ones car towed. Be careful & check the sign near where you park. All in all, I'd recommend Kimchi Factory because we will definitely return. read more

All of our dishes were Delicious! The service was Superb! We love the iconic building!!!

I apologize. Normally I take photos of the delicious appetizing plates that come my way but seriously, it came to the table and I was so happy that I didn't even thing to take a photo until I was finished. My husband didn't think to take a picture so I will try to include that one but what a surprise. The exterior looks very much like an actual neighborhood restaurant in south krestaurant Which I love. And then you step inside and while the menu, thank God, is limited, nothing disappoints. When I say thank God the menu is limited because it would've taken me longer to determine what it is I wanted to eat for dinner. Highly recommend. Highly recommend. Highly!!! read more

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing, and the service is great. It's always very relaxing being there, something about it makes me feel like I'm home. I also love the candies you can pick at the front counter at the end. read more

came here after visiting Macon with my wife, have to say this place is a gem. It is not in an easily viewable place from the street but when you find it you are in for a treat. The place is small but homey and the service is extremely good. The menu is small but every dish is made with care. If you get the bimbimbap get it in the hot stone, you will not regret it because it makes the rice crunchy which is heavenly. The bonchon they give you is extremely good and complements the meal, plus they are homemade and you can taste the difference from mass produced. If you like the kimchi they do sell it. Overall this place is a must if you enjoy Korean food. read more

Where to start? This place is a hidden gem. The food was fantastic and the chef/owner is awesome. I had the LA Galbi and Kimchi Stew. Both hit the spot. The banflavorchan was spot on and the little cup of soup was a great change of flavors. Next time I'm in town, I'm coming back. read more

The dumplings...Amazing. Everything else I had meh. I ordered dumpling and spicy pork... I've always had spicy pork when I eat Korean because it one of my absolute favorite... theirs did not have gochujang, which was really weird. It was ok, not horrible but not great either. Also, the rooms where you're served are really small and the service was not that great, the waitress was not very attentive at all. read more

We have eaten at many Korean restaurants all over the World but tonight was our first time eating at Kimchi Factory Korean restaurant in Macon, Georgia. It was excellent!! The food was delicious and the service great! Mrs. Kim the owner and chef even brought out some of our food to us and checked to make sure we were enjoying our dinner. This is a true gym in Macon. read more

Awesome Korean food!! I've gotten takeout twice from this restaurant. Each time, I meant to take pictures but immediately dove into my food. I got the bibimbap with tofu. I got plenty of rice and several different types of veggies: mushrooms, carrots, bean sprouts, spinach, and a few others I can't remember... but it was all delicious. Served with a spicy sauce and soup. The portions are good for with price. I was full and satisfied. Plus I was happy that they can make most of their recipes vegetarian or vegan if need be. The restaurant is small and kind of placed in an awkward spot behind a few buildings downtown. Don't let the location deter you! The food is great! Service was very kind and helpful! Will be back many times in the future I'm sure! read more

Short rib was good and served on a sizzling metal plate. Ban Chan was was ok, there's better out there. A bit on the expensive side. $32 for this single dish. read more

Amazing place the food was on point I got the plain ramen (vegetarian here) and my husband got the dumpling soup (sorry can't remember the name). We also got an appetizer the pancake (yum). I really can't rave enough how delicious everything was. I even bought some of the cucumbers (side dish) to take home (sadly they didn't have enough kimchi to spare for take out, next time). The portions are huge so we had plenty to take home. On to the service Sunny was our server and they were awesome. They made suggestions, explained items on the menu (newbies here). So definitely ask for Sunny if y'all decide to go. The ambiance is nice (quaint) it's a very sweet place. 10 out of 10 I would recommend. read more

This place is probably the most hole in the wall restaurant I have ever been to. They only seat 6 tables at a time, and you wouldn't even know the place exists if there wasn't a sign. But the food was GOOD! We tried kimbap for the first time. We ordered it with bulgogi beef, but it came out as veggies only. We thought about sending it back but it looked so good that we decided to eat it anyways. It was so delicious by itself that we didn't say a thing and just enjoyed ourselves. We also ordered bulgolgi beef and it came out on a sizzling stone with veggies and rice. Also came with a variety of sides (cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes). It was perfection. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday to have access to most menu options as they run out of ingredients towards the end of the week (we went on a Saturday and they were out of some things). Highly recommend! read more

Kimchi Factory in Macon GA is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The owner is the nicest person you will ever meet. She has a passion for cooking and making you comfortable while enjoying the food she prepares. My husband and I have eaten there four times in the last three months ( October - December 2022) and have enjoyed our meals every visit. Our favorites - and "must haves" every time we go - are Kimbap and Tteokbokki with rice and condiments (I especially love the kimchi cucumbers). The owner showed us on our first visit how to really enjoy all the flavors by encouraging us to put together on a spoon a little rice, the Tteokbokki sauce, and a cucumber. It is spicy and refreshing. We always order more than we can eat in one sitting and end up taking home leftovers. The next day, the flavors are even better, richer. The Tteokbokki and Bulgogi are excellent reheated. I obviously highly recommend this restaurant and hope you have the chance to go there and enjoy it as much as my husband and I do. read more

I think I must have heard about this place at some point but only recently saw it on Google Maps when looking for a lunch spot downtown. I'm tired of the usual places so thought I'd give this a try. It's got to be one of the best kept secrets in Macon. The owner is a sweet lady who is very personable and likeable, she obviously cares about your experience and it shows. The food is fantastic, generous portions, superior quality and the side dishes are excellent. I felt like I was eating at a friend's house. I will definitely be back soon as I want to try some of the other "regular" Korean items on the menu. I ordered Yukgaejang and it was delicious, hot, as spicy as it needed to be and RICH! I kept eating long after I was full because the flavor was unbelievably complex. If you decide to try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to go back myself. read more

Kimchi Factory - Yukgaejang with rice and side dishes (zucchini, pickled bean sprouts, kimchi, etc.) - Korean Near Me - Macon, Georgia

I really wanted to like this place. We were the only ones there, so the service was quick. It was about 5pm on a Saturday. Our table of three ordered steamed dumplings, pork bulgogi, chicken bulgogi and Samgyupsal Gui (grilled pork). I wanted to order beef bulgogi and requested it spicy but was told that I shouldn't because the marinade they use wouldn't be good if I requested hot. I'm able to order extra spicy beef bulgogi at other places, so I'm not sure why I couldn't here. The banchan was ok- kimchi, kimchi cucumbers, sprouts, green beans and a bowl that we were told was zuchini and sausage--- this was literally a warm hotdog cut on a bias. Both bulgogi dishes had 3x more vegetables than meat. The soup has small flavor. The greens were fresh. Would I make a special trip to come here? Probably not. Would I stop in again if I was already close by to give it another try? Yes. read more

Best food ever! Super friendly staff too! Everything we ate, Ramen, Bulgogi and dumpling soup was made fresh! Loved it there!

Incredible food, sweet owner! We stopped here after a long drive and the food was incredible. The best kimchi pancake I've ever had. We will definitely be back read more

I missed these so much! Everything I eat here reminds me of my mom's dishes. Tasty with plenty of flavours but not too spicy not too salty, just so delicious. The seaweed soup is fantastic with Bibimbap. read more

We tried Kimchi Factory takeout on a Friday night and our food was ready in 15 minutes. It was flavorful and I would highly recommend you try this place! We had the chicken fried rice and beef Bulgogi which were both delicious. The entrees come with sides and soup. I think the simple soup was one of my favorite things we had! Of course, the kimchi was spot on too. Cannot wait to try more off the menu! read more

I love Korean food and the Kimchi Factory is among the best I've tried. They have some things on their menu that you won't find at most Korean BBQ joints. I had their Spicy Tteokbokki which I've never had before but had seen on it on a travel show. It was delicious. And my wife had the beef bulgogi which came with rice, soup and 4 sides. I sampled everything and it was all excellent. I can't wait to try it again and next time I have to try their knife cut noodles. read more

The place is a weeee bit awkward given its quirky layout almost like a segregated doctor's office/funeral home....but the Korean food was good. Panchan was great but limited unlike a similar place in Warner Robins. Just be warned that they DO NOT SERVE beer/soju or anything alcoholic. Unlike my time in Seoul, this place was slightly disappointing since we expected to have some soju or Hite on a Saturday night. Additionally, we felt nickel and dimed since they ONLY let you have bottle water (no tap) for 2.29 a bottle. We would return but ONLY for takeout since it does give a "funeral home" vibe and does not seem inviting in any aspect......disappointing :( We still have not returned either after 2 months! read more

Oh my gosh! This place is amazing! We came for an early dinner and were blown away. My wife had been here before and she told me it was good but I was not expecting this level of flavor. My wife cleared her bibimbap and I cannot wait to eat my left over japchae and kimchi. If you're close by it is more than worth the visit! Safe to say this will become a regular place for us. Food was amazing and service was incredible. The owner was a sweetheart! read more
