Amazing food! We had the pancakes with prawns and the chicken bulgogi. The taste was very authentic and you can choose your spice level. The staff was also so friendly and helpful. Really worth the visit! The price is a good deal, the mais are 14 pounds.

Brilliant! A fantastic little eatery with some of the most authentic Korean food I’ve had for some time. The kimchi is delicious, the ribs fall off the bone the sizzling stone bowls hot. It’s a BYO set up with a small corkage and they’re not that many tables which means it’s busy, which is good. The staff are friendly and helpful. My future visits to Edinburgh will now have to tie in to when Kim!s is open. Love it.

Amazing tiny Korean establishment in Edinburgh. Been there multiple times as a student and its pork ribs never fail to amaze me each time. The broth has always been AMAZING and it’s a must try however please choose the spiciness level carefully. The set meals do come with a few starter dishes which were delectable and tasteful as well. It’s a must try restaurant in Edinburgh. Given it’s popularity, one must be aware that there might be a significant waiting time as well.
