Cute little spot, reasonably priced and delicious. I really felt like I was eating some homecooked meals.

Very good food with consistently friendly staff. They've been around for over 10 years, which speaks to the quality. The hot stone rice is delicious, and the side dishes never disappoint. read more

Delicious and reasonably priced! Came here because I wanted a bowl of jajangmyeon and many other places in this neighborhood were closed on Mondays. When we came around 7pm it was very quiet and our table was the only one there. Sad, because this place serves delicious and affordable food and I hope that business picks back up soon. We got the large pork bone soup ($24.95) and jajangmyeon ($10.95). Pork bone soup - lots of pork, the large size came with two servings of rice. Delicious and well seasoned, though I think it didn't come with as much potato as other places I've been to. It did have cabbage which was a nice addition though. Jajangmyeon - no complaints, noodles were thick and delicious and the amount of sauce was good too. Not especially memorable but it definitely hit the spot. Our meals also came with a lot of assorted banchan (side dishes), which went along great with our food. Overall I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Came here for randomly for dinner and everything we ordered was really tasty! Army stew - first time having army stew and not something we'd order again Seafood pancake - this was so delicious and perfectly crispy. Loved the dipping sauce too. Highly recommend and would definitely try their other jeons - they had so many varieties like kimchi and chive jeons. Spicy squid - this was also very tasty and well done. One of the faves. Beef rib soup - simple and comforting. Was nice. Came with 2 giant beef ribs. Chicken katsu - surprisingly really well done. So crispy! Was a great random find and would definitely come back here. Service was also very good! read more

Their gamjatang/pork bone soup is consistently delicious. Very tender and falls right off the bone. Lots of meat too. Same thing goes for when your order it through Ubereats. Everything is packaged nicely and won't leak. Anyways, I came back to dine in and their galbi beef ribs was sooo good. Their beef hot stone bibimbap didn't disappoint either. The one new thing we tried was the spicy fried chicken. It was interesting in a good way. It was crispy on the outside but juicy and chewy on the inside. It looks like it was wrapped in some of mochi type batter & the portion size was large. Definitely one of my favourite Korean restaurants. read more

Kimchi House - Spicy fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went here for lunch on Friday with a friend. They did not screw up my order but my friends so I am going to add that in as a cumulative review. The place is clean and typical korean restaurant with banchan. The kimchi was good and I was glad they had the potato mayo mash. Mhmm, because some places don't offer it. I ordered their spicy pork with rice and my friend ordered spicy beef soup and requested to have it without egg because she's slightly allergic. Unfortunately, they missed a bit of the egg white so she noticed it and told them. For mine, the spicy pork was not gochujang-ed enough so it was mild for my taste. I couldn't order my regular gamjatang because it was nice weather outside and i'll sweat if i order soup. Next time, I will order gamjatang and give this place another try. read more

Kimchi House - Spicy pork with rice, a lunch special - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The day my friend and I decided to come here was really busy and we had to wait 10-15 mins to get a table. Since it was busy it did take awhile for a wait to come and take out order. I got the bimbimbap as it was one of the less expensive dishes they offered. It was standard, not as bad but I extremely enjoyed the side dishes! They had some that were not found at other Korean restaurants such as the greens. read more

I was searching for some new places to eat at Koreatown and Kimchi House was suggested by my friend who said it was a good option. I got the gamjatang - the pork bone soup. It came with a side of white rice. I found that the soup was lacking in flavour which made me not enjoy it as much. There was an abundance of pork bone however and the meat was juicy and fell right off the bone. In addition, Kimchi House's lunch menu are the prices you expect for an all day menu at a Korean restaurant. Their menu after lunch is more expensive. Usually pork bone soup is ~$8.95 at most places but this one was $10.95. Service was good and washrooms are clean. read more

So this is my favourite spot for lunch (Mon-Fri) because of their great lunch specials. Generally around $8, they include the great side dishes (Kim chi, sprouts, Daikon Radish etc.) and the main dish, as well as what I believe is the traditional barley tea (in cold weather). This place is clean, service is always great and friendly, and the food is always good. I have come here before (not during weekday lunch specials) and the food is still great, but quite expensive, which is why I only do the lunch special days (11a.m.-3 p.m. which is great). Lately my weekday go-to place. Love! read more

First time here and unlikely going back. One server spilled my friend's beer all over the table and onto my purse (and I'm talking everywhere) when bringing dishes over. I totally understand accidents happen. Although she was extremely apologetic, I can't believe we were still charged full menu prices for everything. The beer was replaced with a fresh bottle, but really? My purse was dripping wet. Not even a comped beer? As for the food, it was nothing special. I had chicken soup but it had no ginseng flavour at all. That was disappointing. Not impressed with customer service. read more

So I'm basing this review on the experience I had and based on the meal I had. Came here with a buddy - we had very different experiences. Ordered the pork bone soup. I was introduced to this dish at Owl of Minerva and I came to appreciate a certain performance level. The soup from the get go was scattered with bone fragments. I know it's a bone type soup but there is no bloody reason why you should almost ingest a mouthful of bone fragments upon first bite. Without warning. Let's break it down: - the meat. Honestly it was like -5 points from Owl of Minerva where I fell in love with Pork Bone soup. The broth hadn't matured enough and the meat was less in quantity. What irked me the most was the bits and pieces of unexpected and unnecessary bone pieces. I had to be careful I'm almost every bite not to ingest the bone. Owl is definitely more whole when it comes to the bone - which I think is the right way to go. That on top having to wait forever for our kimchi and other goods - the best this place should receive in my books is a solid 3*. Listen this place is not terrible. But there are definitely better places. So trust your gut, eat well and do what you gotta do. read more

Ordered the oxtail soup for lunch. It was terrible. The oxtail was tough because it hasn't been cooked long enough. The broth had no flavor and was completely bland. There wasn't enough noodle. A bland mess. The restaurant was very busy. The waitress was very nice, but she couldn't speak English. Will I return? I doubt it since there are many better restaurants in the area. read more

Wow!! Soooo tasty and reasonable price!! Located annex area on bloor st. right beside of arisu restaurant!! The pork bone soup is only 8.95 and taste so deep and good!!

I was going to go to another Korean restaurant when I saw their clean unique logo and name. Yes, I wanted to check out Kimchi House even though we were early for dinner. The place recently opened as good wish orchids were near the entrance. The floor is a two toned colour wood which matches the walls. They spend some money on decor and new furniture. Happy: The menu had a lot of dishes to pick from and it's still brand new. I went with bulgogi beef soup and told them to make it spicy which they accommodated. There were six small appetizers, including one of my favourite which is spicy sour turnip. My soup came with an egg which I made sure to cook it in the steaming soup. It came with white steam rice which I prefer the traditional purple rice. More chewy and distinct. My friend had the pork bone soup and she said it was pretty good and it had the right spice. The waiter even asked as how was the food and if we wanted more appetizers which is a nice change from typical service at Asian restaurants. Even though the washroom is in the basement with a very low ceiling, it was renovated and clean. Not happy: Some of the dishes on the menu were a bit pricey from other Korean restaurants that I've been to. Verdict: I would definitely go back to try other dishes. It's clean and modernized which I appreciate more than an old looking place. read more

I was craving for porkbone soup and got take out. I ordered extra spicy porkbone soup. The soup base was very flavourful and it was actually spicy-spicy (some places are sweet-spicy). The pork bone was moist, easily comes off the bone but it was fatty. They packed it so cute with plastic wrapping over it. They were very generous with the appetizers too - usually restaurants only give a small side of kimchi for appetizers. My take-out experience was a lot better than my dine in. read more

I come here for lunch once in a while and it's always really great food and service. The restaurant is relatively new and I suspect renovated. There's usually not many people during the day when I go but I imagine it to be quite popular during dinner. It's always the same nice lady serving me so my experience is quite positive and consistent. As for the food, I usually order the pork bone soup for the lunch special or a cold noodle on a hot day and they're always done wonderfully. The pork bone soup is beautifully presented and garnished and you can tell it is slow cooked well as the meat tends to fall easily off the bone. The cold noodles come with ice and pears in it and it's sweet and they offer to cut the noodles for you. You can add in white vinegar yourself. The side dishes and kimichi are also very good and comes with rice. Overall, the place is very high quality with reasonable prices and great service. I highly recommend it. read more

We had just come Back from A Naples vacation and were missing Korean food. Decided to try this place out and were pleasantly surprised to find out the food was awesome! Had the yuk gae Jang and the Ja bong. Probably the best I've had in Toronto. Will be going back frequently for sure. You need to go here, this is proper homestyle Korean food. No short cuts. But, i really think they should put DRAFT BEER on the menu! read more

Had the pork bone soup after reading many great reviews. It was the absolute best ever!!!

Since the mass migration of Koreans from Bloor-Christie to North York, the food in Koreatown has gone downhill. Either that, or the influx of Koreans to Toronto has increased the quality of food uptown, which acts as the new-school contrast to the older Bloor-Christie. Whichever the reason, a lot of food in the area ends up being cheap and mediocre. Kimchi House is probably my favourite of the bunch, and you can order a good variety of Korean food here. Not everything here is great, but some of the dishes are quite solid. read more

Real good authentic Korean food. I order the chicken with ginseng soup (Samgyetang) for lunch. Inside the chicken cavity it is stuffed with rice, garlic, dates & ginseng. The broth is very light and has green onions on top. It comes with salt in a small dish for dipping. A small whole chicken in a small pot. Other Korean restaurants usually don't have this on their menu. So when I come here I order this special dish. This place also has really good side dishes. read more

Kimchi House - Ginseng chicken soup - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I asked my korean friend where to get good authentic korean food in K-town and he told me Kimchi house. So I had high expectations when I came here. It was very quiet on a Sunday evening with maybe two tables busy. My boyfriend and I ordered their army stew (everything unhealthy but oh so yummy in a spicy broth). Everything we ate, from the stew to the side dishes tasted very authentic and had another depth of flavour. The stew wasn't just spicy but rather you could taste that there was a broth that was beneath it giving it richness. The kimchi was tangy just like others but slightly different. All in all, one of the better quality korean restaurants (they also have a lot more options) but its slightly pricier than the other places surrounding it (I would totally pay the extra dollar or two). read more

Really great food--and you don't have to shell out much for it! With any meal you get a nice variety of appetizer dishes (kimchi, white radish, fried tofu, mashed potato, bean sprouts etc) which our waitress happily refilled for us (for free!) when they were almost finished. Their pork bone soup is both cheap ($8.95, comes with rice) and tasty--the broth was flavourful, just the right level of spicy, and not too thick. The bones had a surprisingly generous amount of meat on it, and the meat was super tender (think "fall off the bone" style). Will definitely be coming back here for more. read more

Kimchi House - Pork bone soup, $8.95 and super delicious - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We've had some amazing hot pots, but the beef slices hot pot wasn't one of them. There just wasn't the punch of flavour we were hoping for. On food alone I would have given three stars, but the service was great, lots of options on the menu and the establishment was clean and inviting. Your mileage and preference may vary! read more

We tried their pork bone soup and it was such a blessing on a snowy day! The bone was slow cooked to the point that it was so easy to break it apart. Very meaty. Plus, their rice was soooo so good, really stands out from other restaurants (trust me, I'm Asian lol). Their side dishes were bomb! The smashed potato was delicious and one of a kind. Would definitely come back! read more

I came here with a friend and I ordered the hot stone bimibap with tofu. As with most Korean places, they gave a bunch of banchan. I believe there was 6 or 7 side dishes and they all were beautifully executed and tasty. I would say some of the stuff is slightly spicy but I was still able to eat most of it. In terms of the bimibap, it was definitely made with lots of fresh vegetables and tofu, and lots of mushrooms and came out piping hot. It was very good. Service: There was only waitress, who served the entire restaurant and she was very courteous and friendly. It had a small restaurant service feel (treated like family) yet in a very sophisticated. In addition,when I ordered the bimibap with tofu, she asked if egg was okay because she wanted to know if I was vegan or vegetarian. That's rare to find in Asian restaurants these days. Verdict: Great place to hang out with friends with quality food and good service. read more

First time in Koreatown Toronto. Serves was GREAT and the food was amazing. I got black bean noddles and my cousin got the pork and cheese Cutlet. Food was plenty and came out nice and hot.

Bibimbap with chicken is what I ordered here. Service was a bit slow. The sides were ok, nothing special. Bibimbap was not well seasoned, a bit bland. Comparatively, not the best Korean restaurant I've been to for sure. No tea given with the meal like some other places serve. Water came in a plastic bottle (a gym / sport bottle!). The place was fairly clean, washroom was clean as well. Seating was decent. Window seat in winter was cold though, quite a draft coming in so we had to move. I don't think I'd be coming back to this particular restaurant to be honest. read more

Went here with a few friends and got their spicy seafood hot pot. WAS DELICIOUS! The seafood melts in your mouth and just easily breaks apart. The best part were the noodles in the hot pot, they tasted as if they were freshly made! They only thing I wish they had were more vegetarian/seafood options. They couldn't make the Kimchi stew without the pork which is one of my favourite Korean dishes. Docked a star since they had limited veggie options. Their side dishes are great, their japchae is one of the best I've tried. Also wish they sold their kimchi separately because it was VERY good! Definitely not from the grocery store! It was incredibly yummy and the side dishes were more than others in the area. Everything tasted homemade and authentic. Very clean and our server was a wonderful lady. If you're a meat eater, you'll have lots of options that will definitely be one of the better dishes you've tried. Might be a dollar or two more than what you're used to but it's worth it! My new favourite spot! read more

Service 4/5. Our server was very attentive and quite lovely. Food 3/5. We started with beef steamed dumplings which were average. I had the chicken hot stone bibimbap which I think was a little flavourless though the portion size was reasonable for $12.95. The Japchae was also a bit on the bland side. Not a bad meal, but also not very memorable. read more

Our family had a dinner at Kimchi House at 586 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6G 1K4. We ordered 3 kind of food: (1) Spicy squid Stir fry with rice $16.95, (2) Chicken Cutlet $15.95 and (3) Spicy Rice Cake $7.95. Total with tax $46.16. I shared with my wife for Spicy Squid and counted for the squid cuts more or less 10 cuts, and the others they put garbage such as Carrot, Onions, Cucumber and etc. This is not the first time we ate here or any Korean Restaurants. But this is sucks, you pay $16.95 and mostly you get rubbish in your dish. We eat vegetable but the squid only less 10 cuts and a little bit hard (might be not enough time to defrost then cooked). I called the waitress and try to explain "this" & "that", she only said I didnt cook, you should tell us no vegetable, this and that......but not solved any problem like the words "do you want to make us again for your as our complimentary?", absolutely no CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCELLENCE solution that I was expecting. At the end, I paid $46.16 with "$0" tip to the her at the back (close to the kitchen) and she ran away to us when we would like to go out from the restaurant and she asked to my wife that I didnt give the tip, but I didnt answer anything I just walked out. Another thing, since the cost of minimum labour raised up, they put the price up. But, they didn't learn from the first time that the restaurant was quite and might be taken over to the new owner, they played in THE PRICE, price went down, but after the resto is getting busy, the price is raising again. Be Careful, better ask this and that to the waiter, rather than you got only 10 pieces of squid + rubbish and garbage. Trust me. In the receipt. Dated 12/28/18 time 19.40. read more
