Hundreds of 5-star ratings and countless full bellies later thank you.
At Kimchi, we believe food is more than a meal it’s a moment. And thanks to all of you, we’ve just hit a big one of our own: 650 Google reviews, filled with kind words, smile-worthy stories, and hundreds of 5-star ratings that make every late-night prep and perfectly grilled slice of BBQ worth it.
Whether you’ve stopped by for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or one of those legendary post-lecture hangouts with your housemates we see you. And we’re so grateful.
Why These Reviews Matter
In a busy place like Selly Oak, people turn to reviews to figure out where to eat next. So when someone takes the time to write about their sizzling BBQ experience, a comforting bowl of ramen, or how much their kids loved grilling their own food it spreads the word in the best possible way.
Each review helps new guests find us. And honestly? They fire us up to keep delivering bold flavours, generous portions, and that welcoming vibe Kimchi is known for.
