Kimchi Red

This review is for the newest location in Johns Creek. It's located at the corner of Peachtree Pkwy and McGinnis Ferry Rd in the Kroger shopping center. Plenty of parking.This is fast casual, order and pay then sit and wait for your food. We were told about the Alpharetta location but this one was right by our gym...so we came after a workout worthy of the meal. We decided on a side of beef dumplings, which came with rice and furikaki along with a small portion of Jap Chae. Very, very delicious! Couldn't say no to kimchee fried rice, which is a crowd pleaser for us, especially with the fried egg on top! We decided to go with the chef special wings. Only two of us so an entire chicken was a little aggressive. We ate so much we still had 9 wings to split and take home! The dumplings were fried to perfection, and the fried rice didn't make it out of the restaurant. The sauce is spicy but has some sweetness to it- really tasty combo. Service is excellent, we met the owner and she told us how she travels back and forth to ensure quality is high and people are happy. If you're taking out, get sauce on the side. If eating in, you could do it that way but I'd enjoy the flavors all over the chicken. They provide boxes for you to pack up your leftovers, and also plastic gloves if you would rather keep your hands clean. Be warned- I'm a purist but I had a mess with the wings, in a good way. Just had to wash my hands at the end. Super clean bathrooms BTW. Support small business owners!

Kimchi Red is pretty popular on social media, so it can get busy and hot inside the tiny establishment, which can slow service down a bit. But I still thought the staff tried their best to accommodate people. I ordered the Fried Chicken Plate with Soy Garlic Sauce on the side. The chicken was really crispy, but I did not think it was extraordinary based on the reviews I had been hearing about this restaurant. I also like my chicken to be infused with sauce rather than me dipping my chicken into the sauce as it tastes more flavorful. In addition, I think it is a bit pricey for getting only a few pieces of chicken. On the other hand, my friend ordered the Mandu Plate and she really liked it! The other items on their menu seem tasty, so I would probably try something else next time.

Looove kimchi red and try to go every time I visit Atlanta. The restaurant is small with limited seating so oftentimes there is a waitlist for tables. Your name gets added to a list & they call you when it's your turn. They offer complimentary paper bowls, gloves, utensils & water. They also have the take out boxes easily accessible so you can just pack your leftovers to go. The food is delicious. The chicken of course but so are the fries and the japchae. Definitely get your moneys worth of food. 10/10 recommend

I went to Korea last year and trying to find the best Korean chicken in GA bc I'm getting nostalgic. My Muslim friends rave about this spot since it's halal chicken. A great idea! I went Saturday for lunch and the restaurant was packed. I was so excited since it's busy, must be amazing right?Why nobody mention about the self service and tip first before you paid? There was NO service being provided. I had to get everything myself The meal cost $60 for chicken, ramen with eggs and mega fries bc everyone recommended it. I was so disappointed! The fried chicken breading was dry and the chicken had NO seasoning. My fries came out a bit soggy. The portion do not match the price at all.Parking was also very limited. This place is NOT the best Korean chicken in Ga. Overpriced and overhype.I been eating Korean food all my life and this place is NOT good and I had a huge stomach aches afterward. Expensive food and got me sick?YES It is serious! Good quality food should not make People sick.

Kimchi Red is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Georgia. Small place with limited seating, you need to put your name on a waitlist if you plan to dine in. Their chicken is really good, crispy, hot, and well seasoned. The portions are large. The tteokbokki are way too soft, they lack the rice cake chew that I enjoy, don't recommend. The Mandu and japchae are really good, highly recommend. The kimchi fried rice is good too, recommend adding cheese when ordering.

Were at it again@Kimchi Red restaurant in Alpharetta. A smaller restaurant that seats about 50.A place with so much flavor!We were helped immediately!We Ordered...Honey Butter Chicken, ( there are about 30 different flavors)Dirty Kimchi Rice (with the egg on the side, request from wife who dsnt like egg yoke)First the FRIED chicken covered with the honey butter, was absolutely fantastic, crunchy on the outside yet, extremely tender on the inside....Both of rated the chicken 5/5 Be sure and use the plastic gloves. Youll also use plenty of napkins.I absolutely loved the Dirty Kimchi Rice, a little spicey for wifey, but when I broke the egg yoke over the rice, it cut down on the spiciness. Wifey rated the Kimchi Rice at 4/5, while I rated it 5/5One order of chicken(feeds two) $29.00. Kimchi Rice, One order $16.00 feeds two. Two fruit drinks 8. With tip $70Kimchi Red You have been #TongueTested

I had high expectations for Kimchi Red after seeing all the positive reviews, but my experience was unfortunately quite disappointing. Despite arriving as a party of two, we had a long wait before being seated. The cashier recommended the Spicy Jeonju chicken, which we decided to try. However, the dish was overwhelmingly spicy to the point of being unable to taste any of the other flavors of the sauce. The table we were directed to wasn't clean when we arrived and remained super sticky even after being wiped down. There were no napkins on the table, and the seating arrangement was so cramped that it was uncomfortable having people constantly squeezing past our table.To top it off, the music was excessively loud, with the bass shaking the entire corner we were sitting in. Overall, I do not recommend Kimchi Red and will not be returning.

I tried this place for the first time recently. Actually it was the first time I tried Korean fried chicken. It was really good. The place was packed. But the line moved quickly. Most of the dishes are geared towards family servings as you can see in the picture. This is the normal serving size on the plate. I didn't take a picture of my single serving plate. I had 3 pcs of chicken , noodles with vegetables and rice. I really enjoyed the chicken. It was spicy without being too hot. It's a place to definitely come back to. Just wish I lived closer.

This was our first time trying this restaurant and we didn't know what to expect. We ordered the suggestion of spicy jeonju and K-Mega fries. We thought the chicken was tender and had decent flavor, but was really greasy tasting and nothing exceptional. The fries had so much going on they didn't go well with the chicken. Plain fries would have been a better choice. The restaurant is not very big and felt crammed with the seating. It was also hot inside so not very comfortable to enjoy eating. The food is made to order so it took about 25 minutes to get our food. Overall due to the price of the food I would rather go to a restaurant where you can get table service and eat with better air conditioning. If I did return it would be for take out only and I would order something different.

Run. Do not walk. Go early. They run out of their great food. This spot is very small. They cannot entertain large groups. We saw a party of 12 try to get seated. A takeout/call ahead situation. Delicious. One time is not enough.
