Kang’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Colombo

The restaurant exudes a very homey and cozy ambience. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we were transported to a warm and welcoming Korean dining setting of the owners home itself. The decor added to the comfortable atmosphere, making it an inviting place to enjoy a meal.

I don't usually give 5 stars unless I really loved the food 😁

Service: The staff at the restaurant were not only friendly but also highly supportive throughout our dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and always ready to assist with any questions or special requests, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Food Quality: The quality of the food at this Korean restaurant was nothing short of amazing. We ordered a variety of dishes, including Cheesy Tteokbokki, Gimbap (Beef), Mogsal Bokeem, Ojingeo Bokkem, and a portion of steamed rice. One of the dishes even came with lettuce, which allowed us to create our wraps, and they provided us with traditional Korean chili paste that was simply mind-blowing in terms of flavor. The pork was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside & the fried finely chopped pieces of garlic gave us an amazing crunch. The cuttlefish was the winner for me, packed with nothing but flavor and cooked to perfection. Could stop eating that with the steamed rice. The Gimbap (Somewhat like the korean version of Sushi) Was mind blowing, just like the images it was perfect.

Portions and Pricing: The portions served were more than satisfactory, and the pricing was just fantastic. With a total bill of 12,925, including service charges, the value for the quality and quantity of food we received was on point. It's clear that this restaurant offers both a delightful dining experience and excellent value for your money.

Final Thoughts: In conclusion, our visit to this Korean restaurant in Colombo was a truly delightful experience. The welcoming ambience, outstanding service, and the incredible quality of the food left a lasting impression. The generous portions and reasonable prices only added to the overall appeal. We extend our gratitude to the owners and the entire team for providing such a fantastic dining experience....

Visited Kang's Kitchen due to a recommendation from a friend. The first impression wasn't the best as their air conditioner seemed to have been malfunctioning and it was quite warm and uncomfortable in there. However, they had a few fans working. Not much to write in regards to the ambience.

The overall experience with food was good. We enjoyed all the dishes but we weren't too fond of the onigiri. The dishes had flavor and the food get accompanied with some Korean sides (lotus flower, kimchi and spinach).

It is a bit difficult to make a reservation as they say they are full. We were told that we might not be able to get seated but when we walked in, they weren't full and had a few empty tables which didn't get occupied the entire time we were there. It is a BYOB establishment.

Parking is a bit of a hassle but they do provide a "valet" service to move the vehicles around.

Our first experience overall was decent, hence we visited again a few weeks later. However, the second experience was negative mainly because of the server. He was the same person who took care of our table the first time and did a fantastic job. The second time around we were a bit annoyed because of his actions. Even before we even had the entire party join us, he asked for a personal favor. And he kept asking for my number throughout the meal so he could call me to get some help. I told him I don't give my number to anyone I don't know. When we were leaving he came out and gave me his number and asked me to call him and assist him out to leave the country. This surely made our experience negative. We have no problem helping people out but we don't appreciate a server constantly asking for phone numbers and talking about his personal problems. We had empathy towards him but was very annoyed by his behavior. As it wasn't the right time nor the place to discuss such matters. Especially not through out our meal.

Good food but not sure if we'd visit again while in Colombo due to the unpleasant experience...

If you’re craving real Korean comfort food in the heart of Colombo, Kang’s Kitchen is the place to go. I visited recently, and I’m honestly still dreaming about the food!

We ordered tteokbokki (rice cake)and jjajangmyeon(blackbean noodles), both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The portions were really generous too! Prices are around LKR 1300 and 1700 per dish, . They also serve free Korean side dishes (banchan) like pickled cucumber, kimchi, and even little Korean pancakes, which was such a cute and authentic touch.

But some foods don’t really match with our srilankan taste. For example, if i tell about spicy tteokbokki i thought it would be spicier. But when it came it was not that spicy and not for my taste. But my sister loved it. So i think it depends on other’s taste buds😝 They add a 10% service but honestly feels worth it. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially if you’re new to Korean food—they patiently explained the menu and even helped us mix the jjajamyeon ramen.

One of my favorite things was the Korean music playing softly in the background. From chill K-ballads to upbeat K-pop hits, it really sets the mood. If you’re a fan of groups like BTS, BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN,EXO, or IU, you’ll probably find yourself humming along. And guess what? The walls are decorated with K-pop artist posters and wallpapers, making it even more charming—perfect for K-drama or K-pop lovers like me! 🩷

You definitely need to book in advance, especially for dinner. It gets full really quickly. The only thing I wish was better is the space because it can feel a bit small if the place is full. If there was just a little more room, it would be perfect.🥰 Overall i would recommend this place to anyone who loves korean...
