The Kimchi Project - New Zealand

We ordered the soft shell crab bun, one was for my 5yr old daughter, so I asked them to serve all the other stuff on the side. My daughter loved her crab bun! My husband and I shared the other one and we loved it too, it had a nice hint of spice but not overly spicy. I was lucky to be able to taste all the salsa, pickle and preserved lemon individually too.For our main, husband and I shared the two-way chicken and we loved it too. The grilled chicken was our favourite, it was tender, juicy, flavourful and not too spicy for our liking. The tempura chicken was nice too. However, we had never been a fan of sweet sauces, so maybe next time would ask them to serve the sauce on the side, so I could control the amount of sauce on my chicken. We ordered the kimchi sampler on the side, they were not the best but they were good enough for me to finish them all.Overall it was a nice family meal, we left happy with the food, ambience and service. We would definitely return to try other items from the menu.

Have been coming here since it opened and it never fails to disappoint. Their Korean fusion utilizes the best part of European and Korean cuisine. I mean, kimchi waffle fries?! Just wow. The little hidden area out back gives secret garden vibes and is more than insta worthy. Great for dates and catchups.

Rating 4.0 A modernised version of Korean. The place feels more like a bar/bristro with the open backyard dinning area. Modernise also mean the prices are somewhat pricier, there are none of the many complimentary sides one expects, even kimchi is a priced side dish. Nevertheless, they’re so popular because the food are delicious. The BBQ short ribs with gochujang sauce was definitely a winner.

Been here many times over many years and food has always been good eggplant dish and soft shell crab bun, and the kimchi fried rice. Breakfast is decent Nice sandwiches. Coffee is good. Might need to tone down the spice on some dishes, and reduce how much garlic is in the pasta. Also the kimchi is only just ok but it isn’t really a Korean restaurant so the fusion part makes it ok. Prices can be steep but I reckon it is justified. Always book a table because there usually isn’t any seating. <br/ <br/ This service has become stingy over the years. If you bring your own cake they charge $2 per person who had a cake serving even after requesting a minimum spend of $30pp. Why can’t it even just be $1? You are ripping people off, who just want a good time without being reminded that they need to spend more money. I’ve never had to be charged for cake at any other restaurant. BYO cake??? Never heard of her.<br/ <br/ However it was redeeming that they brought out the cake with candles and sung us a song. <br/ <br/ Needless to say, the food is good enough to make up for it and enough for me to be going back.

Beautiful event with super friendly staff. the back area is so sweet and has a wonderful ambiente. the bartender made us an amazing matcha potion and that.
