    Decided to give Kings Restaurant a try and was not impressed with the food. We ordered some typical dishes and it was not flavorable or memorable. Dishes were priced on the higher side as well so plan to spend more than $40 for 2+ dishes. The atmosphere was also kind of depressing as it was kind of dark towards the back of the restaurant where it was empty. Service was great and we were always given more water and side dishes. If you're willing to drive, Sole Cafe in St. Paul is the place for better food and vibes.

    Nestled into a strip mall just north of the Twin Cities, Kings Restaurant serves up some of the tastiest, most authentic Korean food in Minnesota. The service is friendly and prompt and every dish that we had was full of flavor. The rice cakes in the daukboki had a perfect, chewy consistency and the sauce had just the right amount of spice. The kimchi was crisp and appetizing, and the sauce in the ja-jang-myeon was deep, earthy, and complex. My favorite dish was the gal-bi, a plate of marinated spare ribs that were beautifully seared, richly flavored, and very tender. In addition to a great selection of food, Kings also has a number of Korean beverages including several varieties of Soju as well as Mak Gul Li, a milky, lightly effervescent rice wine, which is served in a chilled golden drinking bowl. If you are looking for a fantastic Korean dining experience in the Twin Cities area, look no further than Kings Restaurant. You’ll be glad you made the trip.

    Got the bibim-bap, rice cake, and soft tofu. It was all delicious! It was our first time trying Korean food so we weren’t sure how how things combined etc. The waitress came over and explained what everything was to us and combined some of the foods. She was very sweet. We really enjoyed everything and will be coming back soon.

    I started off with the ddukbokki with friends and it wasn’t very good at all. There was no chewiness to the rice cakes and the portion size was very small for the price. When it came to service, our server wasn’t very nice and also didn’t let us get refills on the side dishes. He stated that there are no refills after the check, but he never even checked in to ask. We also had the cold noodles and tangsuyuk and those were good but nothing special. Overall I was pretty disappointed with this place and won’t return and I don’t recommend this for others either.

    Excellent customer service and excellent good. The employees were nice and very helpful. Filled out waters routinely as well! Food was amazing. You get your typical Korean side dishes. The side dishes are excellent. The food quality is amazing. The kimchi stew Bu-dae Jigae we got was amazing. It says it serves for 2 but it's definitely enough to serve 4! That kimchi stew was amazing! The tofu was soft, sausages were juicy, and the stew had a nice spice to it. The gimbap was great but it fell apart easily so be careful with it but it was still great in taste. Seating was easy and quite spacious as well. The booth was comfy for 2 but it will be tight for a party of 4. Other than that, we had a great food experience, especially for Korean food. Would definitely recommend this spot if you're craving Korean food.

    My experience here was wonderful. The atmosphere is classy and mellow, and when our server brought our food, it was absolutely mesmerizing. The Bibimbap was sizzling in a beautiful stone bowl and the food presentations were artful and clean. All of the dishes were very flavorful, with fresh vegetables and side dishes and nicely seasoned meats. We opted for the green grape soju, which was smooth and nicely sweet. The servers were so kind and very quick to attend to us. I would highly recommend a visit to this gem if you have not yet had the pleasure.

    Dined in for lunch today. Male server was dismissive and not very helpful. Ordered Bibim-nap ($17.95) and jam-pong ($18.95). As you can see in the attached photo, they gave us almost no beef. I checked the reviews from even a month ago and photos show way more beef given to other customers. So not sure why they shorted us today on the food. It ended up tasting very bland with little flavor so it felt overpriced. The jam-pong was fine. Also not amazing flavor. Overall an underwhelming experience. 2 stars because the lady server was nice.

    Large shared parking lot. 5 stars for food and authenticity. 2 stars for price and ambience. 3 stars for service; not bad but nothing special. Come here if you want authentic Korean cuisine, and don’t mind paying a bit more than average.

    Good edible but the portion size is CRAZY for the price. $18.19 The pictures speak for themselves. Glad I did not tip honestly. The rice was separate from the bibimbap and only filled to half the size of the container. The beef is minced to basically ground beef. I think there's more styrofoam than there's food.

    One of my favorite spot for Korean cuisine. Favorite dish so far is the beef short ribs and the pork belly with white kimchi and radish kimchi.

    Whenever I order they're always so nice and accommodating. I arrive a little early and they offer me to sit and ask if I'd like tea or water while I wait for my order. Honestly. They're so nice. Their food is also so good!

    💯 Probably the best Korean foods in Minneapolis. Every flavor is just at the right level, not too much not too less. We ordered the steamed pork belly and spicy tofu soup. They are absolutely great. I would recommend you to give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

    I order 3 dishes to come pick up for dinners total $64. When I got home, I opened the bag and I realized the portions wasn't much. For around $20 per dishes I was expecting a little more. The side dishes was only enough for 1 dishes, where was the other 2 sides for the other 2 orders. The foods taste good though. Just a head up for anyone want to bring family here. Its expensive and portion was on the low end. I was going to order from Dong Yang but they close early so I give Kings a try. Probably better to stick to Dong Yang.

    The young man who greeted u, sat us and took our drink orders was very professional and polite. He gave us excellent service. I was not impressed with the food, especially considering the prices. Some portions were decent, but lacked flavour. I doubt I will go back there any time soon.

    Love this place! Whenever I have cravings, this place always hit the spot. My husband, who usually doesn't care for Korean food also enjoy the food here that he also started craving Korean food too, and comes here with me. The cost is on the higher end, but definitely worth it. Great food, great service. <3

    Love this local restaurant! Great food, great people and a welcoming atmosphere. A great place to try Korean cuisine if you never have. It's a special place for my family to go and enjoy a meal, definitely worth a try if you have never been here! A hidden treasure!
