Everything was awesome! The food was great, people were friendly and the overall experience was just perfect. Recommend to everyone!!
I’m pretty sure this is the best food in Cardiff!
One of the best Korean food in Cardiff. Good portions and great hospitality.
Loads of food, great price. Lovely staff. Amazing music.
Our first visit delicious food very friendly helpful staff and lovely atmosphere
Kimchi, our first Korean food experience. You were amazing! Food incredible, especially the Kimchi. The service was so good! Recommendations and samples, everyone was so warm and friendly. We will be back! Please visit, you won't be disappointed! Xxx

Loved the food staff were so nice. Im definitely coming back here ☺️☺️👏🏾👍🏾
Massive portions and really good value. Full of young Koreans, so that says a lot.
The food is delicious and plentiful, the service is fantastic, the atmosphere is relaxed and the grills are hot...need I say more?
A little quiet but it was Saturday lunch. Fantastic food must go again very soon service excellent
Gorgeous food. We had Bibimbap and spicy rice cake. They were gorgeous!! The décor is lovely and cosy, not a big place, we went weekday so it wasn't too busy. Staff are polite and courteous. We will definitely be back again to try the BBQ next time xx
So glad this exists! Great table BBQ, lovely staff and authentic drinks. Such good food.
Great for both people who aren't familiar with Korean food and those who are. Friendly service and tasty cuisine! ^^
Kimchi are taking a low-key approach to marketing themselves - in fact, they're just letting the food speak for itself. After just over one month of trading, this Korean restaurant on Cowbridge Road East has garnered a handful of 5 star reviews on Tripadvisor, has no telephone number online (by the way it’s 02920227122), no social media accounts and no website. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be doing them any harm – on the Saturday night we visited, it was packed to the rafters. Furthermore the owner, who explained that he has opened the restaurant to service the needs of Cardiff’s Korean food crazy Chinese student population, has been thrilled by the reception they’ve received from locals and students alike. I can understand why. Having already waxed lyrical about Yakiniku, Cardiff’s other Korean restaurant , over two years ago, it’s much the same this time around. Kimchi’s food is a breath of fresh air - a unique, sociable experience offering flavours and textures which are a refresh
Excellent genuine Korean cuisine. A selection of Asian teas and soft drinks available. The portions were generous yet the bill was low. Friendly service and very tasty food. I would highly recommend and would go back again.
The owner of the shop is Chinese, not Korean, but the service is very good and is very nice.There are many food options to choose from, all delicious, especially the Yakiniku set. You can order a single dish to eat alone.The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is okay, like being in Korea, but the tables are quite close together, making walking difficult.
Sakura’s unrequited love for Sasuke was always a question Naruto fans wonder. Like why is this girl ‘simpin’ so bad that she lost most of her character development in the later arcs!? In any case, I understand her one sided love, kind of like my love for this restaurant. Sometimes, this place hurts my pocket and it makes my clothes smell but boy everything taste 10 out of 10. KBBQ, K fried chicken, Japchae and the Bibimbap. I am a total Sakura for this restuarant without a doubt.
My family and I were looking for a perfect birthday place for me and we came across this Korean barbecue, we never tried Korean food so this was new to us, but this restaurant filled all our expectations and more! This place was beautiful, it was traditional and amazing, the server lady was so nice as well as the other servers, they were so polite and attentive to us and always made sure we were happy with what we got. Food wise it was delicious, the food was large in portions and seasoned beautifully. Everything was set out neatly and conveniently! 100% would recommend eating here, food, service and the building in itself was and is a 10/10!
Really good food as usual, particularly the barbecue, the pancakes and the sizzling dishes. Atmosphere and staff communication could be a little better and it was a bit cold in the restaurant, but overall a decent time everytime we go to Kimchi.
Really good place for a Korean BBQ experience. Is not an all you cat eat however the proportions were very good. The only 2 bad things were that the place is small, 6 tables of 4 at most I think, and that they only accept cash. Other than that, a very good place! You can also take away your leftovers :)
Food is always delicious here! I've been here couple of times for korean bbq and I always left full and happy! They have variety of traditional Korean foods and have a super quick service!!
Overall pretty decent, but some of the food was a bit bland (kimchi was too light in taste).
Service was ok, the waitress who served us was quite friendly.
There’s a decent amount of meat with the BBQ items so it was very filling. The quality of the meat was on par with the price we paid.
I had to ask for ssamjang (sauce you have with the meat), which I would have expected to have come with the food as default, but they provided on request.
Value was not bad for the meat, but I find the sides expensive, especially considering they are mediocre.
Love this restaurant! Always amazing food. I eat in and take away, both are great. They are cash only, but will wait for someone in the party to pop around the corner to a bank machine. They're very hospitable. My favourite dish is the spicy udon & kimchi on the side. So lovely.
Ok. So we *really* wanted to have a Korean BBQ and were so excited to see that there was one in Cardiff. There were some reviews that made us a bit worried but we tried it anyway.
Note that they only accept cash. But there is a cash machine about 100m along the road. So really not a problem.
I am so glad that we did. This is a small family run business. The staff were very courteous. The food was awesome. The place was super busy and this was mid week. We left having had a great meal and also felt so happy to have supported a small business rather than a random chain. Highly recommend.
Brilliant food and really tasty. The joint could use a little freshening up as the upstairs/loos are a little rough and ready and sometimes service and be a little slow. Well worth a try though!

Great food at affordable prices! Awesome kbbq experience. The kimchi pancake was excellent and crispy
Best and only good Korean place in Cardiff right now! These guys don’t get enough recognition, the food is fantastic and the service is warm, comforting and very timely! My favourite place to eat
One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Such a fun experience as well being able to cook your own food. Very reasonably priced! We have also ordered a bento box from them delivered and it was equally amazing. Super traditional and authentic also - incredible!
Kimchi is a lovely restaurant. I've been quite a few times now, and always been impressed.
They're excellent with checking for food allergens, and helping with anything you don't understand.
Price is extremely good for the amount of food you get!
Highly recommend.
I have had a great experience here and I think I already wrote about it. Trust that if you are new here they will advise you appropriately as the portions are big enough for two people. Definitely I recommend the grilled chicken and beef. pastry was delicious too The drinks are same price as everywhere but if you prefer something different is the traditional Korean wine / drink . Very friendly personnel and also respectful as per Korean tradition. Take in consideration to pay cash ! That’s annoying but is a cash machine closed by. I recommend reservations and find the parking space before going out for lunch as is free and close by but not so obviously marked up at least wasn’t for me. not the modern still and the toilet really disappointed me but here we are we had a good time .
Went there for my birthday dinner for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. We sat upstairs. The food was great and was in large proportions which was even better. The servers were really nice and very quick too. It was a very informal environment which was nice and made me feel like I was eating at home. Only downside is they only take cash so I had to dig up my calculation skills (i still got it wrong)😂
