    KIWA, located in Singrea market is definitely a must try place. Cute, compact and comfortable seating arrangements offering some great authentic dishes. Some of the dishes worth trying are the dumplings, seared Tuna, Ramen, chicken and meat grills too. Also, ask for their homemade kimchi as well! Make sure you are there earlier for dinner as its for walk-ins only.

    Soft opening for now, official opening is July 5 I think. So more items will be added to the menu. Food was delicious ingredients where fresh. Highly recommend this place for asian food lovers 👌🏻👌🏻. I liked every thing came on both sets, couldn’t choose one item over the other. They have set menu for lunch and ala carte for dinner. Both sets were perfect and delicious. But go there with an empty stomach as you’ll eat a lot. And they got a free treat at the end ❤️.

    It’s not easy to find Korean food in Kuwait, so if you want delicious AUTHENTIC Korean food, this is the place to go. The place is currently expanding so it’s a bit small, and they also don’t have any tea somehow, but the food will make you forget all that. Some people judge Korean restaurants by their kimchi, and this place definitely knows how to make it.

    Back to South Korea at KI:WA From the heavy brassware to gyeranjjim, this is South Korea. Went with chef Jun's recommendation and was not disappointed. - Sikhye is a traditional sweet rice punch and was served after the meal. It's the slushie type of sikhye and nicely cleans the palate. - Gyeranjjim (steamed egg) I've had gyeranjjim many times before but nothing as silky as the one they serve here! Just how?! - Tofu Salad pleasantly drizzled in rice vinegar i think? The simple well balanced dressing wasnt overpowering at all. - Deep fried shrimp tempura was fresh and crispy! Not to be compared with regular tempuras with obvious thawed shrimps used. - Seafood pajeon is something that will surprise many i believe. I love pajeon (savoury pancake) and this was even better than the ones I had in South Korea - NO LIE - Tteokgalbi soft and chewy beef short rib patties with a hint of sweetness. Kids will also love this which is accompanied by sautéed broccoli, baby carrots and brussels sprouts. - Galbi sous vide cooked for 6hours was fantastically soft and perfectly pairs with pepper cream dipping sauce. This was presented with its own warmer so it stays warm while you eat it with your side dishes. - Creamy tteokbokki was amazing! My niece confused it with pasta because somehow the sauce just uniquely works well with rice cakes. - Mochi ice cream, need i say more? KI:WA is easily one of the restaurants I will keep going back to. Congratulations on the opening and see you guys again soon!

    Loved the food. The plating was excellent and very fast service. Portions are single. As it’s next to their supermarket, don’t expect fine dining ambience.

    The food taste authentic, the idea of sharing the restaurant and the store is really nice. But it doesn’t make sense how strict they are on eating the food I bought in the store in the restaurant. Overall, always a great food.

    I visited this restaurant with my local friends for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Dining delicious, gourmet meal in a classy restaurant with reasonable pricing, kind and professional waiters really made my day. I am planning to visit the restaurant every week to try out every menu they serve. I hope they open another branch with more spacious venue and theme. My overall review is: the best Asian Fusion Restaurant in Kuwait, by far!! :)
