My partner and I went for a set meal for 2 which was enough for 4 people to share with extra. We ordered extra fish to BBQ and a couple of side dishes. The portions are huge and great value for money. The hot plate on the middle of your table makes it a very fun and sociable experience. The service is fast and helpful if you are unsure of what each meal is. Can't wait to return with friends to share the experience.

NOTES: ~ This review is for delivery ONLY. I haven't…read moreactually been inside the restaurant. All in all: LOVE IT! I was honestly surprised when I found an actually good Korean restaurant in Cardiff as Korean food isn't typically one of the more well-known or popular Asian cuisines. However, if you're an adventurous eater or someone who's tried Korean food elsewhere and missing it (like myself), Kimchi is perfect! As I haven't been inside the restaurant, I can't speak much for the atmosphere or the customer service. The only thing notable about the customer service is that the delivery arrived perfectly on time and the driver was very polite and courteous. Aside from that, the main thing I care about the food and it was great! I highly recommend their bento boxes. At just over £11, it's actually a surprisingly decent value for money as the portion sizes are HUGE and extremely filling. Your choice of meat came with Korean dumplings, seaweed soup, kimchi, rice, and lovely Korean pancakes. We'd definitely order from here again or even stop by the actual restaurant if we're the area. A definite surprising find to see GREAT Korean food in Cardiff!

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food and assumed Korean cuisine would be similar. I was wrong!!! I hesitantly ordered the bibimbap and enjoyed every bite. It wasn't greasy at all, and felt pretty healthy to eat, and it was super-tasty, with just the right amount of spicy kick. The prices were really fair aswell. Consider me a convert to Korean cuisine!

For a small shop, it is super compact and has a really good selection of ambient, fresh and frozen Korean and Japanese products (as well as some from other East and South East Asian countries) when considering the square footage. The prices are all reasonable for imported products, so I've never felt that I was spending too much money. The staff are really friendly. One time, when I was buying a 5kg bag of sushi rice, one of the storekeepers approached me and said that they could keep the bag behind the counter to save me from having to carry it around, which I really appreciated. They're also very approachable, which is good if you're looking for something unfamiliar. This is a family run business which has been in the neighbourhood for over twenty years, and hopefully many more years to come for when I eventually move back to Wales!

One of my housemates went to Asia in her gap year and really misses the food. So, whenever we…read morestumble across a place that might take her back to those suppers in Japan, we always investigate. This little shop on Woodville Road is run by wonderfully friendly people. (They said hello when we came in, they asked us if we needed any help and they said thank you when we left even though, on that occassion, we didn't buy anything.) The shop itself is bigger than it looks when you first enter and is crammed full of some really exciting looking food. I'm not sure what they're called but the icecream that's coated in some kind of rice... those are good! It's also nice to be able to buy soy sauce in a reasonable sized bottle - the ones you get at the supermarket are ridiculously small. The prices are fantastic, especially considering how far its all been flown, so I was extremely impressed.

I was super excited to see Korean fried chicken on the menu... Then I was super disappointed when my order came out. It was just their karaage with what tasted like barely-doctored bottled Thai sweet chili sauce. The worker who was in charge of our table was an absolute nightmare. She was a short Asian woman--I didn't get her name. She was extremely rude to the group and very short. It got to the point where we didn't even want to flag her down to order more because her attitude towards us was so bad. I won't be back. But if you do decide to go, they have a Unidays discount. At least that softened the blow of this awful experience.

Yo Sushi - Making It perfectly acceptable for you to sit at a buffet, alone, since 1997…read more For those who are new to the world of Sushi it's pretty simple - Sit. Take. Eat. Pay. The plates are even coloured coordinated - Six colours, six prices. From £1.90 to £5.00. Leave your plates at your side and they'll be totalled up at the end. Now if like me you don't like fishy-fish don't rule out Yo Sushi just yet. There are still a range of dishes available that won't make you think of 'Finding Nemo' My favourites: Inari Pockets - Sweet Soy Bean Curd Pocket with Rice. Duck Gyoza - Duck Dumplings, Hoisin Sauce. Chicken Gyoza - Chicken Dumplings with Soy and Vinegar Sauce. Chicken Katsu - Chicken Katsu, Rice, Mild Curry Sauce and Red Ginger. Each of the above contain less than 120 calories! *Tip: Visit on a Monday and enjoy almost ALL dishes for just £2.50.

It does a very good deal on a 'stop the clock' idea, which means you can sit and eat for two hours, from the moment of your first order. The cost is £15.80 which can't be bad. Personally I recommend the Bulgogi, thin sliced BBQ steak. Ushikata! I have hesitated in recommending Teppan Oriental because its very appeal is that all the customers are apparently Korean, Japanese or Chinese and this adds to the atmosphere...

From the owner: We are Bristol's first and only Korean BBQ and Shabu Shabu restaurant…read more The Korean BBQ is comonly known as Yakiniku or Gogi Gui, this refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat. Dishes are often cooked at the diner's table on metal grills that are built into the center of the table where diners can enjoy doing there own grilling/bbq at the dinner table. The Chinese Hot Pot also known as Shabu Shabu in Japan, and in Singapore and Malaysia the Steamboat. Like fondue but replaced with a simmering metal pot of stock at the centre of the table where diners place their ingredients into the pot to cook. The cooked food is usually eaten with a variety of dipping sauces. Typical Hot Pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, vegetables, dumplings and seafood. Here in Teppan we have a vast choice of ingredients, dipping sauces and stock.

Have been waiting for a Korean restaurant for ages in Cheltenham. This one doesn't disappoint. If…read moreyou're new to Korean cuisine, try a bibimbap, a rice dish in a hot stone bowl (dolsot) with a variety of toppings, all with vegetables, gochujang sauce, and an egg on top. All bibimbaps come with miso soup. They will do it without the egg too which probably makes it vegan (but check with them). Many vegetarian options, but watch out for the bonito (fish) flakes on a couple of items listed as vegetarian. There are Korean BBQ options here too if you're more the carnivore type! I'd recommend the deep fried seaweed wrapped rice noodle starter if you're not sure what to try. Mains are between about £6 and £11.

I have tried to get into SKK for lunch a few times over the the last couple of weeks, but they had sold out of everything every time I tried. So even after a big breakfast, I decided to head down early to avoid disappointment. Now, from the outside, Sky Kong Kong doesn't look that appealing. The sign above the door looks like my 2 year old nephew did it with some crayons, but I really like it. I like being unenthused walking into a restaurant and then blown away by the time I walk out. Inside can only be summed up as quirky. There are 3 long tables with around 10 chairs on each and a few books about Asian food and art. It looks as if its been put together in a few hours, and it probably was. But again, I really like it. It works! Now onto the food: wow! They have a two course bento menu that changes daily and today it started with a tomatoes an cherry dish. Unfortunately I didn't get all the details of this dish, but essentially it was sliced tomatoes, cherries and a delicious olive oil dressing. It was really refreshing and for somebody that doesn't love tomatoes, I demolished it! Unfortunately, but in true SKK fashion, they had run out of chicken for the main. So I had pan seared salmon instead: oh, go on then ;) That came with a courgette & parmesan pancake, cabbage with chorizo, wild rice and another cabbage dish. It was seriously good. For £6.50 it was amazing! This is definitely a five star lunch if ever I've had one!

It doesn't fail to deliver as such; it just doesn't quite live up to the excitement of the others like it. Perhaps, though, that's something to do with the food itself which isn't as exotic on the palette as things that you find in the Japanese and Korean food shop on Woodville Road, or that African shop just down the road. The prices are perfectly reasonable and I am sure I will return if I need something specific. But, unfortunately, the food there just doesn't do it for me personally!
