    Value for money! Their green curry is nicer than most Thai places in Cape Town! 💯 you can’t go wrong with their yum yum chicken and the spring rolls were full of fillings! To be honest I did not enjoy the Bul Dak Galbi (spicy chicken)too much, it was just mainly cabbage and could have some improvements. Will definitely go and visit their Sea Point branch as soon as they are open!

    Amazing food, SO well priced and the service was beyond incredible. Everything on their Korean menu was delicious, perfectly seasoned and so easy to share and enjoy. This is literally one of my top hidden gems in Cape Town. HIGHLY recommend a visit

    Paid a fortune for your sweet and sour noodle pork dish on Mr D and didn't even recieve sweet and sour sours. Also no chop sticks and your portion size is highly disappointing. Don't do deliveries if your quality is going to drop.

    Quick service, good value for money and exceptional preparation of dishes. Presentation is good and very tasty. Unique way she modernized and Westernized the dishes with spicy undertones.

    I have lived in Asia, and so I love all Asian cuisines. This is honestly the absolute best Asian food that i have had... I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves this style of food! Also the service is so friendly and quick! Well done to the staff, and I can't wait for my next meal there!

    I would never recommend this restaurant, I ordered a shin noodle soup, but it turns out to be a bowl of instant noodles which could be bought from local supermarket, I have to say R20 instant noodles selling for R87, the price is ridiculous!!

    An excellent spot to have a relaxing environment. Food arrived at the table in perfect condition and right on time. I'd suggest the Dashi Tofu, Teppanyaki, and of course the YUM YUM. You'd be surprised how tasty and how filling the food is, prices are decent and so is the staff. 110% recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Kimberleigh De L. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly one of the best places!!! Blown away!!! Captured all of the wok flavours, having the family try Kimchi rice for the first time and they loved it, the wings were incredible, the green thai curry was the perfect blend of aromatic flavours with a perfect amount of heat to it, yum yum chicken with smokey noodles brought smiles all around!!! Thank you, the whole family are going to be in a happy food coma!

  • 5/5 Kyle K. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite Korean/Asian food in Cape Town. I lived in Thailand and their red thai curry is the closest meal I’ve had to authentic Asian food. The chicken Wings are just epic, the edamame in its spicy sauce and just so delicious. Portions are great and over all just so love this place, ; great service and energy behind the business 🙌🏽 10/10

  • 5/5 Precious M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely little place hidden in a hotel. The service was lovely and so was the food. I defs recommend their "KFC" in sweet soy sauce, chicken ramen and egg rice.

  • 4/5 gideon van t. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good. Prices were reasonable. Qould order from them again. Just very hidden away inside a complex?

  • 5/5 Lesedi 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Callum S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best tasting food I have ever eaten my life. I thank god everyday for finding this place. I can not explain how amazing this food is, honestly 10/10

  • 5/5 Ibrahim D. B. 1 year ago on Google
    Kimchi really hit me differently y'all. My appetite was lost due to a cold and then boom, the food was quick and I found myself in a lift clutched to a box of noodles and chicken and let me tell you, I gouged that thing with no morals left in me immediately I closed the door in that Hilton😭😭. The flavors were everything. Next day I brought a friend along. 🤦🏿‍♂️🙌🏿❤

  • 5/5 raj l. 1 year ago on Google
    I am an executive of a globally listed company and have eaten around the world. But nothing beats this little gem hidden away in Woodstock. The food is fresh, tasty, delicious and the portions are very generous. I live +- 8 kms away - but my food is always delivered hot. Aran, the owner/ manager is always available to assist. Nothing is a problem for her to ensure the customer is satisfied.

  • 4/5 malebo s. 1 year ago on Google
    update: after voicing my concerns, Kimchi contacted me and replaced my order. exactly how i expected the tofu. fresh and so delicious. thank you

  • 5/5 Tapiwanashe N. 1 year ago on Google
    Arguably the best Korean BBQ wings I've ever had! Really enjoyed them with the fried rice and can't wait to try other items on the menu! Thank you Kimchi

  • 5/5 N G. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food at a really affordable price. The Korean Fried Chicken wings with the sweet chili sauce was mouthwateringly delicious. Food was prepared really quickly too. A gem of a restaurant!

  • 5/5 Ashley D. 3 years ago on Google
    Man Oh Man... I'm addicted to the Kang Pao Pork dish. I would have it every single day if I could. The wings are also super Good. I've been ordering From Uber eats and because the food was that good, I needed to go to the branch to see where this Amazingly tasting food comes from. ❤️

  • 5/5 Kevin 3 years ago on Google
    Tried 3 different dishes and they're all amazing!

  • 4/5 Gio 3 years ago on Google
    Whenever I take friends there, they are always blown away by the quality and the flavours as it all comes alive on your tastebuds. Excellent food, my only wish in this regard, is portions could be a little bigger. But it is always worth the drive from Northern subs!!!

    My brother and i order the prawn green and red curry and it was very disappointing..they used shrimp instead of prawns,frozen vegetables and the curry was so watery..everything was so bland..

  • 1/5 Emil K. 4 years ago on Google
    If this is authentic Korean food, then Debonairs is authentic Italian. Don't waste your time, go to Korean Kitchen in Claremont instead.

  • 5/5 정영목 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Delicious food, fresh made, nice service and located directly at the Hilton Hotel in the small mall so you do not have to get out. The prices are absolutely okay, a bit higher than normal - but able to top! (Original) Sehr leckeres Essen, frisch gemacht, netter Service und direkt beim Hilton Hotel gelegen in der kleinen Mall so dass man nicht raus muss. Die Preise sind absolut okay, etwas höher als normal - aber in der Lage top!

    If you're looking for delicious, affordable (plus they're on the Entertainer) and authentic South Korean food, check out KimChi, in the Double Tree Hotel in Woodstock. We tried them last night and will defintely be back.

  • 5/5 Danie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Love this place for a great bowl of kimchi pork noodles and pop in every now and then. I also buy my own use kimchi from them. Fun people, too!

  • 4/5 Larry L. 4 years ago on Google
    Starter portions are rather small. I’ve had better agedashi tofu but everything else tastes great for the price. Food was served within minutes and the service was great. Entertainer is available here. There is lots of parking in the hotel parking. Price ranges from R10 - R20 or so. It does have a fast food atmosphere where you pay for your food and sit at the tables. I would recommend any of their mains and their chicken wings.
