    Miso was so tasty
    Alex P.

    Seeking a mom and pop restaurant experience, you should check out KimChi located at 6701 Black Horse Pike, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234. This cozy Korean-Sushi spot offers fresh, delicious meals during very limited business hours (check the schedule). It's the kind of place where the food is made with love and the service makes you feel like you are visiting your favorite grandma's house. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a sweet woman who seated us and handed us menus. The setup is simple and charming, some things are self-serve, like grabbing drinks from the fridge, but the way the food is served feels personal and homey. KimChi has small number of tables, and to our surprise, they do not offer takeout or delivery. The space was clean, and although the staff was clearly very busy, the atmosphere remained calm and never felt rushed or chaotic. We didn't get to ask many questions since they were constantly on the move, but it did no matter, the care they put into preparing the food spoke for itself. Plus, we were already familiar with their business concept, so we understood and did not feel the need to press for more interaction. The menu is limited and changes depending on the time of day, but the signature dishes are absolutely worth it. We ordered the spicy pork and miso soup (hands down the best I have ever had), along with gyoza and kimchi. Everything was flavorful and generously portioned. The vibe in the restaurant was also chill, laid-back but respectful. It was a diverse crowd, and everyone seemed to understand and appreciate the owners vision. Because of the limited seating and hours, people were mindful about not lingering too long when others were waiting. All in all, KimChi offers a dining experience that is rare these days (at least in NY). It is not just about the food (which is excellent) it is about how you are made to feel while you are there. I would absolutely go back and recommend it to friends and family. There is adequate lot parking outside. The restaurant is less 20min drive from Brimingtine and Atlantic City.

    Best Korean food I've had in NJ, hands down. Run by an elderly couple, and you can feel the care in everything from the warm, cozy atmosphere to the amazing, genuinely friendly service. The food tastes fresh and homemade, with real depth of flavor. And the kimchi? If they sold it, I'd buy all of it. A true hidden gem.

    Pork bulgogi

    Kimchi is a locally owned mom & pop restaurant located in the Cardiff plaza where Goodwill is. There's lots of parking, but the restaurant is small & cozy with tables for less than 30 people. They do sometimes have off hours - they open for lunch & close between 2-5 & will take dinner seatings from 5-7pm. They also don't do takeout orders, but they will provide you with a box if you can't finish their generous portion of bulgogi that I absolutely love. The owner who is also the only waitress is super sweet but do allow for extra time since everything here is made to order & so authentic. Drinks are self serve from the fridge in the back with pitchers of chilled water & you grab your own cups. For food, Kimbap is something you have to get if you're a sushi lover. The difference between Japanese sushi and Korean Kimbap is the addition of extra vegetables in the roll like pickled radish & burdock root. This makes it even more flavorful than a simple salmon roll, and I'm a fan! I love both the regular & spicy versions. There are even non fish varieties too. The japchae is a sweet potato noodle stir fried with cabbage & beef. It's one of the most flavorful ones I've had here & is a great compliment to whatever you order here. If you love Bulgogi, which translates to "fire meat" you will really love it at this place because they come out on a sizzling hot stone plate to make your bbq dish more flavorful. It will get a little smokey in here so plan on smelling like food afterwards. I'm a huge fan of the spicy pork & beef versions. They also offer chicken & Kalbi ribs as well. For soups, I've had the spicy tofu soup & the beef dumpling versions & both were excellent. For the tofu soup, they'll cater to your spice preference & it will also come out in a stone bowl with a freshly cracked egg that will cook very quickly in the bubbling liquid. You get a bowl of rice with every bulgogi & hotpot entree & also a side of kimchi & cucumber kimchi. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes & the quality of the food, & this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area because I love Korean food!

    Tried Kimchi today and was not disappointed. The bulgogi was amazing and fed 2 people. The appetizers are tasty as well. The ambiance and service here could be better, we never got waters our entire meal. But as far as food and price, I'd come back.

    Beef rib stew. This was after I had eaten a good amount already
    Sarah L.

    Amazing! Best Korean food we've had since our visit to Seoul. The kalbi (short ribs) came out on a sizzling plate and stayed warm the whole time. The kalbi stew was my favorite. Filled to the brim with veggies with and generous chunks of short rib. The seafood pancake was delicious, super crispy, and big pieces of seafood inside. The salmon kimbap was gorgeous and stuffed with large pieces of salmon, kani and veggies. The banchan cucumber was super crunchy and flavorful. Love this place!

    Sundubu tofu stew

    I was excited to try a Korean restaurant as an out of towner. I've tried many Korean cuisines in the past. Korean food is not new to me. The staple for me for Korean food is the tofu stew. I felt like the stew was lacking flavor. The kimchi was salty. The ambiance was ok. The service was ok until I went to pay. I did see the sign saying $20 minimum for credit card. I was ok with that with tips. I went to the counter to pay the lady pointed and smack the sign hard to communicate the $20 minimum charge. I told her it was ok to ring up the charge even though my meal was only $16. I gave her $22 total for my bill. I thought she was rude for doing that. I don't think I would go back again.

    Our food packaged so nicely!

    We stopped here on our way to Atlantic City and so glad we did! We had the intention of sitting down and having dinner there but realized it was take out only when we got there. It ended up working out perfectly because we were able to get some drinks from the dollar general near by and tailgate before our concert! The husband and wife duo here really work so hard and I don't understand the other reviews about service being an issue. While we did have to wait a bit for our food, we were more than happy to wait because we could see that everything was made fresh and to order. We got the jap chae and spicy tuna kimbap. The jap chae was delicious as was the sushi roll. Our friend got the shrimp shumai and beef bulgogi. We also got healthy portions of kimchi with our meal - love homemade kimchi! I would call ahead if you are in a rush but the food is worth it!

    Hole on the wall Korean BBQ spot that will blow you away. You do not cook any of the food yourself, instead, it is brought out to you already cooked (appetizer and entree style). All of the food there is absolutely incredible and unique. The food is simple but extraordinary. Just note, their last seating for dinner is at 7 PM.

    J S.

    Wonderful food!! Everything is so flavorful, can't wait to try the whole menu. The kimchi pancake and every entree we have gotten has been great, even the edamame is extra special.

    Went back again after a year and it seemed much more popular! The food was fantastic, you get a large portion. The inside was nice, clean.

    this lobster roll changed my life. it was the best thing i've tasted this year and i don't think…read morei'll stop raving about it for a while. my food was ready 5 mins after i ordered, but my friend had an issue with her order. they fixed it immediately and went above and beyond to make it right. she let me try her blt and caesar salad and they were both delicious. also!!! the horseradish pickles!!! incredible!!! they have a few tables inside to eat at and a whole bunch of tables outside. i think we're going back tomorrow before we leave because i just have to get another lobster roll.

    While our very first experience with Water Dog in early pandemic days was a little hit or miss…read more(loved the lox, eh on the bbq) we have since become huge fans and found our go-tos here. The lobster roll above all is the best bar none in the area. I'll be honest: my husband and I are lobster roll snobs! We like CT style so the lobster has got to stand up on its own and taste great without much adornment on it. The warm CT roll here passes the test and then some! A generous portion of fresh, tender, sweet meat that frankly is better than anywhere else nearby. And overall the gourmet sandwiches are super high quality, made to order with the best ingredients so that they're the best versions of themselves. I'm always a fan of the bacon egg and cheese (as a New Yorker, stands up to the best of them) and the BLT is a thing of beauty, stuffed with bacon, actually fresh tomatoes and lettuce on a fluffy brioche bun and all in the perfect ratios. Tough to finish in one sitting! Aside from the food, love Water Dog's ample shady outdoor seating, friendly service and wide beverage selection. It's become an easy choice for us for a lunch any day of the week.
