kimchi house

came here based on my korean friends review. it was much much much better than my previous experiences with other korean places. it's so authentic! everything was tasty even the gyoza which imo

we went here for lunch and not too many yet coz only 11am..but the waiting still kinda slow 25-30mins..but the food we ordered like pork bone soup and bulgogi is so delicious and tasty not bad enough still reccomended if youre here in london ontario

kimchi house is a tiny korean family restaurant. the food was good, service was alright. i liked the korean pancakes. worth a visit if you happens to be in london, ontario.

i used to go to this restaurant because it's food is ok and it's close to home. after my friends warned me about this restaurant for overcharging on it's bills i started to pay extra attention. to my surprise she actually calculated the tip into the bill as service charge, when i asked she insisted that there's no tip i need to leave extra. i left another 15 percent and never went back. liar ruins everything.

i ordered my favourite bibimbap here and must say that it was the best bibimbap i've had in canada thus far. firstly, i'm a kicker for raw eggs in bibimbap, so that may have biased me in its favour. moreover, the rice crisps left at the bottom of the sizzling stone bowl were irresistible and perfectly fine... there was so much and it was delectable!
my mom ordered her favourite kamjatang, while my sister got the jjangmyun. she found it pretty decent, and was satisfied, though interested by the various meat and veggie fillings in the black bean sauce. my cousin got the mandu soup and my dad, the kimchi soup (both not pictured).

i didn't actually have a problem with the service here. yes the servers sometimes mostly speak korean but it is a korean restaurant. the food is a little too salty, oddly enough. it just doesn't taste as good as other korean restaurants i've tried. this is especially true for their spicy rice cakes and gamjatang. the bibimbap is good though! i still prefer soo dam to this place but it's a decent replacement if you'd rather not mission out.

our favourite korean restaurant in toronto. especially their appetizers and pork-bone soup. their seafood pancake is also delicious. busy but always can find a seat.

this is a place that draws koreans so i figure it has some standing in the community. the food was authentic and hot with many unique items. service is a bit slow if you aren't korean as our server spent more time with her group and little time checking out needs. despite the negative here it is worth the visit as meals were unique and reasonable

yep. i just received the food from waiting 3hours. yep. it's almost cold. why do i want cold food.

it took more than 3hours for the delivery. from 5pm to 8:30pm. never ever eat kimchi house again babe.

an amazing experience!. kimchi house is one of the very few places in london that serves authentic korean food. i had their kimchi jjigae, and it was honestly the best i've ever had in london, and in comparison to the restaurants i've been to in toronto. the employees here are very friendly, and the service was incredible. however, if you are unfamiliar with east asian dining customs, be aware that you may need to hail your server if you need something, rather than expecting them to come to you every 5 minutes. i would recommend this place to anyone in a heart beat, and will be going there a lot more in the fututre!!

not go back anymore!!. food are not very bad but not good neither.
the service are very bad! i if you pay the bill by cash, they just keep saying don't forget the tips ! if you pay the bill by debit or credit card, the tips are automatically add on your bill!!! it is too rude to do that!
the delivery is fast but they always forget some food.
anyways, i won't go back anympore !!!!!!!!1

very good food. although the restaurant is a bit small, the environment sometimes can be a little unpleasant.

authentic korean food, good service, decent side dishes! very rare for a place in london. they even have cold buck wheat noodles and very quality at that! never had better in toronto=) very satisfied and will come again.

beware the tip. we used to go to this restaurant because truth be told, we thought the food good. unfortunately, the proprietor (a korean woman) never remembered us so whenever we received our bill, she took pains to remind us that the tip wasn't included in the price. we are, by the way, generous tippers. we prefer to leave the tip on the table and i think this woman was used to people leaving tips with their interact or credit cards....so, i believe she didn't 'see' the tip and thought it necessary to remind us. i started to resent being told to tip. the last time we were there, i'd had enough. when my husband went up to pay, he was again reminded. i went to the cash register and told her that we frequented her restaurant quite often and that we always tipped. i added that in canada, we never ask for tips...that it is very rude to do so. i must say, i wasn't at all polite about it and the other clients heard my comments....this i regret. i then took the tip i was going to leave, went back to our table and 'slammed' it down on the tabletop...not my best moment. but, in my defense, i was tired of this woman's rude behaviour. to that end, we will not frequent kimchi house anymore preferring the decent food and kind service at manna grill. i hope that my actions resulted in others being able to 'dine' without being told to tip.

great experience. we went here for a late lunch. food was great, service even better and they "gave" us corn to make corn tea at home.
