Kimchi House

Gotta come here weekly for my spicy tofu soup & banchan !!Eunhee the owner is so welcoming & hard working, getting takeout & waiting on tables, but still so friendly & nice !!The vibe here is no frills, homey & casual but the food is epic !

Had a late lunch here yesterday. No frills, no nonsense. My kinda place. Owner was the server, and she's clearly, justifiably, proud of her place. Had wings and spicy pork bulgogi. Panchan were varied, delicious, and generously portioned. Kimchi lives up to the place's name. Wings were crispy and cooked just right. Bulgogi was tasty, with the spice heat a slow burn as opposed to a quick scorch. Just finished the leftovers, which reminded me to write this review.Kimchi House is a go-to in Contra Costa for hearty, balanced, well-prepared Korean fare. The food, and the owner speak for themselves!

We came here today to get some dinner. I got a kimbap and my husband bought the spicy pork bento. There was a generous amount of pork. It was very smoky flavor and very sweet. There were a good number of sides including a giant lettuce salad. The sides were okay but nothing special. I thought my kimbap was very bland and not cheap for $12.95. it had a lot of things in it like egg, pickle radish, spinach and carrots (see pic). It's not a big roll but it filled me up. I met the owner who is Korean. She seems pretty friendly. I will go back and try some of their tofu soups one day.

Tonight the food was really good!! It's a quaint mom & pop restaurant that turns out great tasty food! Keep it up!

We tried this restaurant because another Korean restaurant had a waiting line. So glad we did! The food is delicious and the one lady staff was amazing! It is a cozy place and I'm sure they will need to expand soon! We got the last two seated table! Will now be frequenting Kimchi House for our Korean food fix!

I first tried kimchi house during the week at lunchtime the waitress and the chef are sisters. The food was amazing. The Bento box was filling the salad and the dressing and the noodles were amazing, but the sister took a day off, and there were two other women in the kitchen and they did not live up to kimchi houses standards. I don't fault the restaurant so I will be back to try it again There onion pancake was great. The service is good when they're not as busy my only issue with the last time I was there was that the chicken was not cooked well, and when asked to have it refilled, they took the whole plate and set it back in the kitchen while they did other things which really was a turn off for me, but I will go back to give it another try and update my review hopefully when that happens

The Eastbay area sorely needs more good Korean food. Fortunately I found Kimchi House, a small cozy eatery very close to my house.I had there shredded beef soup and their stir fried squid. Both were delicious with just right level of spiciness. Service was friendly and helpful. My only things that could be better was their Kimchi was not quite ready and they didn't have Kimchi Chigae on their menu. Next time? Will try their seafood pancake.

Always a satisfying bite here. Love their spicy pork bento. The purple rice tastes like barley rice, which adds a nice complimentary flavor to the spicy pork. The relief from the seasame salad dressing balances it perfectly.Reminds me of the Korean food served by families after the Korean church I used to attend. Miss those family gatherings. Sadly, I had to part with the delicious food and friends because my beliefs weren't aligned with their religion. If any of them read this, no hard feelings. Thanks Jeen.

Did a few pick up orders and had never dined in. Food is average to be honest and nothing too wow about, but it is close to home when wanting some Korea food. Good to support our local businesses.

I ordered the beef rice bowl and they put about a tea spoon of chopped up beef. Very disappointed.
