Kim's Restaurant Korean Rice Cake — Restaurant in Louisville

As a resident of Fern Creek, discovering a Korean restaurant in our neighborhood felt like striking culinary gold. My son and I stumbled upon this quaint eatery quite by chance on our way home, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be!

From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The service was impeccable - attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to share their culture through food.

Now, let’s talk about the food - a true revelation! The kimbap was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, each bite more satisfying than the last. But the real star of the show was the bulgogi. It was, without exaggeration, the best I've had in Louisville. Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, it was a dish we savored down to the last morsel.

The in-house made kimchi was another standout. Its perfect balance of spice and tanginess was unlike any I've tasted before. The staff mentioned that we could buy a container to take home, and you bet I'll be back this week to grab one for our homemade kimchi soup!

In conclusion, this Korean restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in or around Fern Creek. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that brings the heart of Korean cuisine right to our doorstep. We’re already planning our next visit, and I can't recommend it enough to all food lovers out there. A...

I often complain that Cincinnati is a culinary desert—flat, beige, and flavorless. So today, we went searching. Three hours later, we found ourselves in a little Korean joint in Louisville—run by an older couple with Bible verses on the wall and a look of surprise when we walked in. The place was dead quiet at lunch, the kind of spot that makes you second-guess everything. My expectations sank like a stone.

But then the 순대국밥 came out. And damn. The broth was clean, deep, and clearly cooked that day—not a whiff of that over-porked funk you sometimes get when it’s been sitting too long. The blood sausage was legit. The pork tender. No shortcuts here. No catering to the timid.

The menu? Small and tight—just the way I like it. This wasn’t flashy food. It wasn’t curated for Instagram or Midwestern palates. It was honest, working-class Korean soul food, dropped into the middle of Kentucky like some beautiful culinary glitch in the matrix.

Don't let the exterior fool you. This place is the real deal—and more than...

I need to make it clear that my experience with their food was extremely disappointing. We ordered two bowls of beef and rice soup along with japchae and kimbap, and it did not meet our expectations at all. The soup was excessively watery and completely lacked flavor. To top it off, there were only ten slices of beef, and the small bowl of rice they provided was insufficient. Charging an outrageous $4.99 for an additional small bowl of rice is simply unacceptable. The overall quality of the food reflects a lack of effort and care in preparation. A good soup should be flavorful and enjoyable, not unappetizing. I strongly advise against going there or ordering the beef and rice soup. Save your money! The owner responded to my concerns, but bringing my children into this matter is completely unacceptable. I made it clear that I paid for the extra bowl of rice, and a charge of $5 for a small bowl of rice is simply not a reasonable...
