Kimchee Restaurant was launched in 2011 by D.H. Kim, the mastermind behind Wasabi Sushi & Bento.
Kim’s vision was to introduce adventurous Londoners to delicious Korean cuisine at an affordable price. At Kimchee, we serve a range of meats, fish and vegetables marinated with authentic Korean flavours, cooked in our open-plan kitchen with a traditional charcoal grill. Our wide range of delicious starters and sides complete the meal. We recommend you order food for the whole table to share, tapas style. Kimchee offers quality food and excellent service in a sleek and stylish interior (including our basement cocktail bar), whilst maintaining a real sense of Korean authenticity. We hope you enjoy your visit to Kimchee and leave with a passion for Korean cuisine.
