    Red bean and whipped cream pastry
    Eleisha M.

    Stopped by on lunch yesterday. I was tempted to grab one of everything, and I did end up with more than I planned. I opted for the Chicken curry koroke and Red bean whipped cream bread for my lunch. They were both very good, I could eat the Red bean whipped cream everyday. The chicken Curry Koroke made for a great lunch, and something different and better than fast food. I also grabbed a loaf of their pumpkin bread - YUM! It has pieces of pumpkin in the bread. Great for a snack or for dessert. I also had the White bean paste pastry and a Sweet rice donut. I personally did not care for the white bean paste, I have not had it that I know of and now I know that I will opt from having it again, the sweet rice donut was good. A neat little store tucked into the strip mall going wet on Olive, right after crossing over 141. The staff I interacted with were helpful and nice. My favorite was the red bean and whipped cream pastry. But there were many more items to explore here. Stop by and check them out, try to make it before they stop selling the pumpkin bread.

    I heard really good things about this bakery, so I visited for the first time this year and then returned for more pastries because even though the inside is unassuming, the pastries speak for themselves. I would describe this place as mostly grab and go, as there's only one 2-person table. You get a basket and place whatever pastries you want in it. The pastries are wrapped in plastic so they're easy to transport. From custard buns, melon pan, cream-filled buns, cookies, "French Toast", matcha roll cakes and more, this will easily become one of your favorite bakeries like it is for many others. This place is most definitely worth a try (or 10!)

    They are always consistent! I love coming into the bakery and I love grabbing this hot dog bun! The staff is always nice! There's a few seats in the front if you want to stay and eat. But it's good to go! They have a large selection of sweet and savory pastries! Also lots of loaves and cookies. I also love getting their cakes because they aren't too sweet and decently priced! I would recommend calling them ahead of time (maybe 2-3 days beforehand) for cakes! I have walked in and just picked up a cake before, but the options may be limited depending on the day!

    I came here twice lately. Second time was ordering a cake for my son's graduation celebration. I ordered the fruity layered cake. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious! The fruits were blended in the cream in the layers and on top! Not super sweet which I like a lot! We have a small group of 7. We almost finished the cake right after lunch! The place also has all kinds of other baked goods, I bought a few fried donuts and they were so good! Will come back for other bakery needs for sure!

    Absolutely beautiful bakery, really great selection. Will be happy to stop by again! I enjoyed everything I picked out immensely. Must try if you are craving sweets!

    If you've never been to Kim's bakery, I can safely say you're missing out. I stopped by on a Sunday morning just to browse and ended up getting a kimchi beef koroke, a curry chicken koroke, a custard bread, and one of their ham sandwiches. My family will get the sandwich bread (ask them to slice it for you if it's cold), which we also really enjoy. There's some seating outside but not really inside. Staff are very friendly and nice as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone in the area-- they are stocked differently depending on the day but I especially love all their bread items. Safe to say one of my favorite bakeries in STL to stop by!

    Matcha Cake Roll, Melon Bread, Azuki(red bean) and Cream Bread, and Chicken Curry Korokke(Croquette)
    J C.

    Kim's bakery is a breath of fresh air and truly a treat compared to the sea of mediocre shops offering generic vanilla or chocolate cake. The storefront is bright, open, and stocked with plenty of hand crafted baked goods. I picked up a match roll, melon bread, red bean and cream bread, chicken curry korokke, and rice donuts(not pictured as they were eaten on the way home), the staff is friendly and food is amazing. I'm not normally a person who frequents bakeries, as most bakeries make things too sweet and options are limited, while there's plenty of sweets to be had at Kim's, they have an offering of plenty of savory and not too sweet options here which are far more appealing for my palate. One of the best bakeries around, I highly recommend the rice donuts and melon bread.

    This is a place I go to often in for years to get the custard fill bread. The bread has the right amount of sweetness to them. I have tried quite a lot of other bread at this place but the custard fill bread is the one that brings me back to buy more. My kids especially love them. I am not aware of any other bakery in saint Louis that make them beside this place. The selections varies therefore best to come here early if wanting to buy in a big quantity .

    We no longer live in the area, but when we're back in town, we always stop at Kim's Bakery. We love the selection, tasty food, and friendly staff. Today, we were able to get some of our favorites...red bean bun, chocolate coronet, chocolate cookies, and almond cookies. Nothing here is too sweet, and it's always fresh and delicious. Don't miss out on this gem if you live in the area.

    I like going here for freshly made bakeries. The store is always clean and neat. Staffs are friendly and welcoming. My favorites are their custard and cream cheese breads - which tends to be sold out pretty fast. I tried their melon breads couple times before but it's not my cup of tea. They also have some savory items and birthday cakes. My family and I especially loved the sweet potato cake here a lot. Must try item!

    Michael T.

    Their cakes have all been great. They never disappoint. It is recommended to reserve a cake days in advance so that you are guaranteed to get what you want.

    Our colleague introduced us to this birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious! It's one of the lightest cake I've had. I'm sure I can eat the whole cake by myself with no problem! The bakery shop is small but packed with goodies.

    Cream puffs were DELICIOUS! Verified from me, a Korean, Kim's bakery is Korean-owned and run. Very rare these day. A+

    Excellent chocolate cake. As Korean cakes go, very light feather like cream that doesn't fill you up too much. Tasty and delicious.

    JooJoo is delicious! I crave this place now…read more I've tried a handful of Korean restaurants and think this is the best Korean food in St. Louis County. I really like that they offer stir-fried octopus (Nakji Bokum) not just stir-fried squid (Ohjinguh Bokum). Their Seafood & Tofu soup (Seafood Sundubu) comes out piping hot and is another favorite. My boyfriend got the "Grilled-at-Table" Brisket (Chaldobaki) option which was fun to use the grill to cook right at our table. Our server was attentive and assisted with the flat-top grill at our table. We shared the large size Japanese lager beer Sapporo. I love that JooJoo includes Banchan, small side dishes, with the meal like kimchi, soybean sprouts, black beans, fish cakes, etc. They're happy to bring you more of something if you take particularly to one side. We could hear a group doing karaoke in a separate room from the dining area but it wasn't disruptive to the dining experience at all. The dining area was very clean and spacious with not all tables having the flat top grill for the barbecue. The only disappointing part was that for food-safety reasons we had to cook the leftover remaining brisket slices if we wanted to take it in a to-go box but we understand! I can't wait to go back! Maybe for karaoke too next time!

I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

I liked the art on the walls and the K-pop playing. On to the menu.... The All You Can Eat (AYCE) selection at WUDON is not AYCE. Unlike all AYCE KBBQ restaurants, WUDON limits selective items that you can order more than once. At AYCE sushi or other BBQs, once you select AYCE, everything can be ordered as much as you want. To top it off, you are required to share a soup, a pancake, and steamed egg. I was disappointed to find that you had to share those items and could not order more. Not exactly "all you can eat". And, like other reviewers, the galbi, or short rib, platter is a one-time order deal. That's..... unheard of for a $28.99 AYCE weekend lunch. St. Louis does not have many Asian cuisine options, especially Korean, so I always try to be understanding if the quality or service isn't the best. My issue is that they should not call a menu selection "all you can eat" if there are contingencies on how many times you can order certain items. I would pay $15 for All you can eat here, not $30+. If you are looking for a first time experience doing AYCE KBBQ in St. Louis, by all means, try WUDON. Since LA, NY, and Chicago are too far to get AYCE KBBQ that is worth it, WUDON is the next (somewhat good) choice.

I'm not sure if reservations are needed during busier times, but we had no problem getting seated. The experience was fun because you grill your own fresh steak and chicken right at the table. Everything tasted fresh, and cooking it yourself made the meal interactive. Our server was attentive, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions. I also tried one of their drinks. It was just okay, but since this isn't a bar-focused restaurant, that wasn't a big deal. The atmosphere is versatile--it would be great for a date night, a group outing, or just catching up with friends. The only downside was the price, but honestly, that's pretty common these days. Overall, we had a great experience and will most likely be back.

Note: your group has to be all-or-nothing for ordering from the menu or the AYCE. The children's discount only applies to kids aged 4-7. None of this impacted our group, as we were all-in as adults for AYCE. We picked the standard package. Premium basically includes options for kabli and shrimp. The meat choices were plentiful (you can pick two options per round). Side dishes, shared soups, rice and lettuce were all plentiful and tasty. Service was constant, with them asking what we needed more of, and checking if we were ready for another round of grilling meats. We got a couple more rounds of the meats, and got plenty of refills on rice, lettuce and sides as needed. Everything was great. We got the beef bulgogi three times, because, you know, it's beef bulgogi. Got the thin-sliced brisket (unseasoned), pork bulgogi (spicy) and marinated steak, as well. It was all very good. Great experience, we left stuffed to the gills.
