Holiday memory — Kimchi that transported me back
I first ate Kimchi on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the fiery and fermented quality I remembered. sesame oil was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Best Kimchi I've had — and I've tried a few
Having eaten Kimchi at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The complex and bold quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. gochujang chilli paste is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

Decent Kimchi — nothing more, nothing less
Kimchi at this place was fine. The sweet, spicy, and savoury at once flavour was there but not distinguished. doenjang fermented soy was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Kimchi for a dinner party — went down extremely well
I made Kimchi for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The sweet, spicy, and savoury at once profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced perilla leaves used that way before.

Street food Kimchi — the authentic version
The best Kimchi I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The deeply umami intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. kimchi brine was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
