What miinyii likes about Kimchi Planet:
This hidden gem is fantastic. It's a small, unassuming cafe where you can enjoy lunch at reasonable prices. We tried the spicy BBQ chicken rice bowl, pork and samjang kimbap, and kimchi pancake. All dishes were served hot and in generous portions. The kimchi pancake was a bit too greasy for our liking compared to other places we've tried, as it usually has a lighter batter and more kimchi. We loved the rice bowl, the... View all feedback. What G418WQkayw doesn't like about Kimchi Planet:
Walked a long way to visit after seeing good reviews only to find it shut even though I had checked online that it was open. Best call ahead if you are making an effort to get there. View all feedback.

The food was delicious, with a limited menu available on Deliveroo. The food arrived earlier than expected and was steaming hot, even the egg on top! I will def...

I go there almost every week and the food is amazing. Very good value for money as well. Rice, chicken and kimchi bowl is my favourite dish.

A visit to this hidden gem offers an authentic taste of Korean cuisine in unfussy surroundings. While some diners may encounter inconsistencies in quality and service, the menu offers delicious and reasonably priced dishes like rice bowls, kimbap, dumplings, and sushi. The cozy atmosphere provides a comforting escape, reminiscent of small Asian eateries. Overall, visitors can expect flavorful meals, friendly staff, and a charming experience that transports them away from England into the heart of Asia. This restaurant, though not without flaws, is a worthwhile stop for those seeking a taste of Korea in a cozy, inviting setting.

What a lovely wee hidden gem. We found out about this place from a work colleague, as it is hidden away in a quiet housing area. We both had rice bowls which we...
