This place is perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon meal, and you can't go wrong with any of the options on the menu. My husband loves their chicken pad Thai but thinks they changed their chicken tenders from real chicken tenders to a frozen tender, and aren't as tasty. I love a fatty, melt in your mouth, tender morsel so I got the pork belly and it was exactly that! There was a little too much kimchi for my taste but that's a good problem to have and it's called Kimchi Box after all haha! You order at the front and you seat yourself, and then they bring the food to your table. There's a soda fountain as well that you can serve yourself. There are multiple fun neon signs that make it feel like you're walking down a busy downtown street without the noise! read more

Found this spot in novi while doing a quick yelp search. I had high hopes for a fast casual Korean restaurant. Upon walking in, noticed the neon signage everywhere-- it's a cute touch. You order at a counter. I waited a bit as the person talking orders was also bringing food to customers and making bubble tea. When I ordered. I decided on the royal bulgogi and a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The drink was made while I paid. So I started with it. Sadly it wasn't up to par. ;(. The tapioca boba inside was hard, not chewy. The flavor was fine. But I wouldn't order it again here. Then my meal came out -- it did take a bit of time. I like that it had a variety of items - rice, noodles, a tiny salad and the bulgogi. That said, I didn't think it was near as good as other places I've been to. It was edible. But not amazing. Bummer. For $22 for a meal and drink, I would have hoped for more. But the only way to find out is to try. Not sure I'd come back. Maybe.... But I'd probably just get the noodles. read more

I'm so happy that KB got pretty popular in Michigan. They have several locations throughout SE Michigan. We've been to this location several times but it had been awhile since our last visit. The menu items changed since they've open, but the food is delicious! We got a combo that included a bigger sized cup bap that includes: rice, spicy pork (you can choose other meats), salad, and japchae; popcorn chicken (or 3 piece wings) and a pop. Also ordered two bulgogi tacos, which was delicious! The bulgogi was a bit dry, but the slaw helped. The spicy pork is my favorite, along with the soy popcorn chicken. There is a self serve station of water, utensils, and barely tea (hot). The biggest change since our last visit was the interior decor. It almost feels like a pocha- bright neon signs, a bunch of posters, and open. We also noticed they added a few other options that they didn't have early on- katsu and ramen. Highly recommend if you're looking for lots of flavor. read more

3.5 is my rating! They have made a major change to this spot which isn't a bad thing. I like the new decor as it's hip and fun. Music is great too. Their food prices have became better as they have a lot of deals and you get a lot of food. They took away the purple rice was a bummer. The portions are filling and the flavor of the food I feel is good. Chicken wings were tasty but I wish they had more sauces. The barley tea on tap is amazing to have. read more

This place was so great!! The popcorn chicken sauce was incredible. I got the popcorn chicken box which came with japchae (glass noodles), a salad, and fried rice! It was great because I was able to try a little bit of everything :) everyone who worked there was kind a patient and ambience was super chill I was even able to do some work on my laptop. overall they have great deals and I wished I could try more but that just means I'll have to come back!! read more

The chicken wings were freaking awesome. Even though I went when there were some water issues in the whole area they're the best of it and the service was great. The ramen is OK, but the wings really shine in this place. The ambiance is nice, the only thing missing is for them to serve beer to enjoy with the wings. Very good place, if I lived around the area, I wound be a regular for sure. read more

Haven't been here in a year and the place has a changed a lot. It looks more like a pocha place now like Nori Pocha which is a fun night time aesthetic. I really hate to leave a negative food review, but the kimchi pancakes weren't cooked all the way and were not crispy at all. They also didn't give any dipping sauce either it. The KCB pad Thai was very bland despite all the ingredients and spices listed. The katsu chicken was good though! I usually like the bibimbap at their other locations and the popcorn chicken is good. But unfortunately my friend and I don't seem to enjoy the food at this location. There is definitely room for improvement. read more

I've gone multiple times, and I will keep going back to try different food options. Everything I've had so far has been delicious, so flavorful, reasonably priced, with large portions. I don't think you could go wrong with what you order. The employees are always so nice, and one of the workers remembered who I was because I went multiple times in one week haha. I love the vibes of the restaurant. It's like a Korean restaurant that's been made to look super welcoming for a younger crowd and it's more modernized. read more

As you walk in, you see the restaurant is very basic. It's casual with no decor to speak of. You start your food experience by ordering at the counter. They provide a visual so you can understand what you are getting. I ordered Kimchi-jjigae and chicken bites. They handed me a number placard, and I sat down awaiting my food. Thankfully, my food came quickly. I ordered the Kimchi-jjigae( soup ), fried chicken bites, and a small bowl of rice, which came with the meal. The chicken was very crispy. I was disappointed because I ordered the chicken hot. I believe they gave me the chicken white man hot and not Asian hot. lol They gave me the incorrect soup. The soup they gave me was Korean Ramyeon Military soup. This soup is made with instant Ramen, a slice of American cheese, Spam, and smoked sausage. I am glad that they gave me the wrong order. I would never have tried this soup. It was tasty. Will I go there again? Yes. read more

My experience was absolutely phenomenal. I really enjoyed it how patient the staff was explaining the menu and how the restaurant worked. My only negative point would be the staff was unfamiliar if the items on the menu were vegan. And now as I arrive home after getting takeout. I'm starting to see that some of the items sauces and the dumplings possibly aren't vegan. However, my green tea was absolutely delicious and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. I would just make sure to ask a lot of questions regarding if the menu items are vegan. read more

Paid $13 for their beef soondoobu soup, they literally only gave me half a container. When I complained about it they were not surprised and added a bit more. Now I am home I find the entire beef soup only had 3-4 thin slices of beef. This place has really gone down hill, will not visit again read more

Have been here twice. Ambiance is typical fast casual asian. Service is ok, but the food is great! If you're looking for a place to grab a bulgogi bowl, this will work! Not necessarily a nice date night spot. read more

My husband and I decided to try out this place before his soccer game on Monday and we were beyond impressed. The food looked and tasted so amazing. The prices were also very reasonable. You order from the front and given a number tag. Once your food is ready, they bring it out to the table. While you are waiting, (which isn't long at all), you can grab whatever you need from the self-service station. The decor and inside was really nice and clean. read more

My son and granddaughter suggested this place instead of eating at the local mall where we'd been shopping. Neither of us had eaten Korean food. We were not sure what to order but the person at the counter answered questions well. My son and I had the kimchi box and my granddaughter had the bibimbap box. The food was hot but we weren't really sure how to eat. We dug in and it was delicious. A bit spicy with some bites but overall, very tasty. We would definitely go again. read more

This place is great and has delicious vegan options. I order the vegetable japchae and vegetable dumplings. The restraint itself is super cute and has a great atmosphere. I only give four stars and not five because I've ordered from here on DoorDash and two times they didn't put the sauces in on two separate occasions. read more

Kimchi Box - Korean Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Best place around here to eat Korean BBQ. Always a pleasure to go eat there. Service is great and the food and environment is amazing.

Got popcorn chicken box. $14ish takeout. Bite-sized crunchy pieces of well fried chicken on top of a bed of rice with a side of yam yam sauce and little side salad. This was perfect for one person/ one meal. Satisfied the craving for Korean fried chicken. Service was good- they helped me pick Korean sassy and i did not regret. Food was done in about 15 minutes as promised. Would recommend this if not planning to share. Otherwise go for the small/medium/large individual order as it is more chicken and bang the buck. Ambiance was modern and clean inside. read more

Came here with a few coworkers- staff was very friendly. Prices were fair. We got a bunch of things: Strawberry fluff drink was amazing. Similar to a pink drink from Starbucks but with boba and a little creamier. I would most definitely get this again Potato dogs: filled with mozzarella cheese. Amazing cheese pull. This is one of those things I recommend trying once to say you did but they're not really tasty enough to get again. - don't get me wrong, I ate my entire skewer and enjoyed it. Kimchi fries: these were my favorite thing I had. They were perfectly crispy and the kimchi was great Chicken sandwich: I think this was with sassy sauce- it was good. Soft bun, big piece of chicken. I'd get this again and try another sauce Popcorn chicken: both pictures are of medium sized popcorn chicken. We definitely should've gotten small instead. It was crispy and tasty. With everything we ordered. Which was more than pictured, everything took about 10 minutes to come out. I was shocked how fast they were with everything while maintaining the freshness of the food. Overall great experience! read more

The northville location was SO good that I had to get it near my work at the Novi location. The location is very efficient with their orders, the food is delicious, and the staff is friendly. The Seoul chicken sandwich is a MUST have. If you're looking at the bibimbap bowl, I don't recommend many adding noodles for the extra charge: you get a pitiful amount of sweet potato noodles that simply DOES NOT justify the price of the additional cost. With that aside, great location for a chicken sandwich and wings! read more

I came here for a late lunch and it did not disappoint. Overall, it was delicious! Services was good and the front counter lady/potential owners was extremely kind. The fried chicken was delicious and crispy (also it was not scalding hot). The portion sizes were quite large and so there was enough for a 2nd meal. Overall, would recommend! read more

First, we need to address the staff there: as me and my employee and I are patiently waiting in line two ladies ahead of us seem upset. They're passive-aggressive and start yelling at the staff saying, "we're on the clock, you stupid, hurry up!" (Door dashers). Then, they start yelling at the two ppl in another language. They then proceed to tell them, "I'm cussing you out in another language you never understand." A lady in the restaurant spoke that language (arabic) and told the ladies they were being inappropriate and interpreted as nicely as she could what the others had been yelling. The workers literally shook it off, apologized to us for the situation, and despite the awful slurs they were called, they just bounced back like nothing happened. That's the story of customer service and resilience these workers have. That alone deserves 5 stars, but wait.... the food... it's SO good. The guy at the front and another older gal gives us advice on what to order. They were right! Kicking chicken sando was the "best chicken burger/sando" my employee has ever had. The bibimbap bowl... oh em gee.... I smothered it in hot sauce and barely even tasted it bc i demolished it so fast -- it was SO delish. Mind you, I started off with a fish taco, which should be a meal all in itself it's so big. So I wasn't hungry but this bibimbap... good lort there should be an age limit on it it's that Good! Idk when I'll be back in Michigan, but when/if I do, this is 100% my spot. read more

The chicken and tacos are very tasty. But come on Mike, you're Korean and the kimchi, kimchi jjigae, and soondubu are very disappointing. Probably the worst I've had among the Korean restaurants in the area. Giving 3 stars since half the food is good and half isn't read more

This place is our go-to for a casual family lunch or dinner. The food is consistently delicious and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Our go-to is the bi-bim-bop with noodles as the base, but you can also do rice, and the Korean fried chicken wings. My favorite sauce is the Korean Sassy but there's a bunch to choose from. The portions are SO generous, I always have enough bi-bin-bop for another meal. The owners are so polite and I can't get enough of the hot barley tea! read more

These wings are huge first of all! They are super crunchy and the skin is seasoned, flavor-able. Coming straight from the hot oil, we can give a thumbs up just for having been cooked to order, which is rare in this area of town. They are doubled fried so extra crispy. The soy and sweet/spicy sauces were good and that may have been what could take it to a 5-they were just good, nothing that stood out. But would I eat these again with maybe some of my hot sauce? Absolutely! I wish I had taken pictures but next time. read more

It has been said, more than once in my house, that there are so many missed opportunities for a fast casual outlet of ___ food, with Korean being on top of the list. Many enticing items adorn the menu including my favorite comfort meal, Bibimbap. Theirs fits the bill with a warm bowl of their purple rice topped with a variety of pickled, fresh, and sauteed veggies and a perfectly fried egg at the center. Adding a generous amount of the sauce is highly recommended. My husband opted for the kimchi bento box to get a sampling of more offerings and, let me tell you, the chicken in that dish was out of this world. Crispy, sweet, tender, and just freakin' addicting. The only complaint I had is the restrooms were in a pretty rough state of disrepair and were out of paper towels, but they were clean. The food here is delicious, the service is friendly and efficient, and the dining area is tidy and open and I can't wait to try all of the other amazing items that I've seen in so many of my favorite dramas (looking at you tteok-bokki). read more

They have new menu items: bowls! We ordered the Royal Bulgogi (bulgogi, rice cake, rice, noodle, salad, seasonal veggies) and Tofu Kimchi Bowl (tofu, noodle, rice, salad, fried egg). You can select a sauce on the side. The meat was a bit thick and tough. We enjoyed the bowls as there is a little of everything and it was tasty! The container is eco-friendly but the rice sticks to it. The bowls are all $13 each. Kinda pricey for the tofu as there were only a couple pieces. read more

Our staff really enjoyed their first meal from here. Our delivery part timer really liked the chicken bibimbap, beef bibimbap and the spicy BBQ chicken and regular BBQ chicken. Don't use grub hub for the delivery. GH charged an additional $30+ on top of the food order for our 4 staff members. We ordered more Kimchi Box for our staff today. 2 Bulgogi Bibimbap and 2 chicken BBQ for $57.24. A staff member picked up the order today. Grub hub robbed us of an additional $31.28 for our previous order, that's awful. Order directly from the restaurant and pick it up. This is our staff's new lunch spot. Brings a bit of yummy Korean into the week. Their bibimbap has a lot of good veggies in it. The chicken BBQ lunch box is nice too, pickled radish, ginger salad, japchae and red bean rice too. read more

I had to try this place because I am not entirely sure when it appeared in Novi Town Center and I notice businesses! Kimchi Box is a fast food atmosphere with fresh veggies and tasty Korean food. I had the Bibimbap with BBQ Chicken and actually received pork, which was also tasty. The thing I did not notice was that Bibimbap comes with an over easy egg atop the beautiful display of veggies and pork. Not being a fan of over easy eggs the very gracious waitress took my order back to the kitchen to lose the unwanted egg. After that the Bibimbap was excellent. I had the brown sugar tea and I was definitely not a fan of that but how do you know unless you try new things? So the atmosphere was interesting. It was loud like a social kitchen in that it's not intended to be fine dining. The staff were very gracious and friendly. It was super busy. When I was there a party of about 25 young men were dining together, kind of fun. I almost thought it felt like a campus-based restaurant, young people mostly. read more

The food items we ordered was very good especially the Japchae and the Korean style fried chicken. I would have given 5 stars if only the menu board was customer friendly. I'm the type who will be hesitant to ask the cashier and keep everyone in line while I can't decide to order. The menu was simple but needs more details/description be it in words or pictures. Most likely to come for their fried chicken coated with the other sauces. Definitely next time I will order the taro milk tea as my drink. Reasonably price. Not crowded on a Wednesday dinner time. Fast cooking time and service. read more

This restaurant has some really delicious food. We discovered it because we frequented Pei Wei and wanted to see if a new business occupied their old spot since we liked to come here for a nice Friday night dinner after a long work week. We were delighted to find a new place for our Friday dinners. Everything we tried was good. We had the Seoul mandu which is vegetarian, and so incredible. These taste exactly how they look, amazing. It comes with a tangy dipping sauce. We got a couple orders for potato corn dogs, they were out of the half fish sausage half cheese, but that was perfect, the kids do enjoy the all cheese (although we do buy both at the store for the household). We had a couple tacos, bulgogi and chicken, both good. They were not mind, but I tried them. We had a small order of soy garlic popcorn chicken. They were perfectly crunch and bubbly on the outside, slightly sweet, and well cooked on the inside. We also had an order of kimchi fries. I do not eat kimchi often but this was some of the best I have had. It went well with the fries, which were very cheese and had a nice kick to them. There is also barley tea which is nice, earthy, and hot. I thought the portions were good. Four people were eating, but we did have leftovers enough for two more meals the next day. I like a place with ample food so a family can share. This is the perfect to share since the mandu came with four pieces and the corn dogs came with two, plus the chicken and fries had a enough for four and the tacos are priced well enough to get a few to share. I see there are other locations, so I would be very open to trying them. I am not sure if this is a franchise, or how it works, but it was nice to see a steady flow of customers to keep this local spot going. read more

I love Kimchi Box, but this location was really dirty inside and the mozz dogs tasted like they were fried in older cooking oil. The chicken was delicious as always, though. Since the plates/silverware at Kimchi Box are all reusable, cleanliness is very important to me. I will not return to this location. Go to the Auburn Hills location! It's much more well kept and clean. read more

Kimchi Box - Sassy fries - Korean Near Me - Novi, Michigan

Went on the 31st of December. First time here. Had the following: *Shrimp and tofu Bibimbap: Oooo! This was a large portion! Really good!! Good amount of veggies on top. *Bulgogi and a tofu taco: I didn't have much hope for these but I would totally get them again! I actually like these better than some of the Korean tacos I had in Austin. *Popcorn chicken w/spicy sauce: YAAAASSSS. To me, it wasn't spicy. Not even a tingling. It's more on the hot and sweet. Man, these were crunchy and juicy. I could eat 2-3 order of these. The service was friendly helpful. This is a definite return! read more

I've been a regular customer at Kimchi Box for some time. The generous portion sizes and consistently delicious food have kept me coming back week after week. However, there has been recent changes that have taken this restaurant from great to just OK in my eyes. Biggest changes of note: Increased prices while decreasing portion size. The takeout boxes are much smaller than they used to be. Previously I could get two meals out of one Kimchi Box order but that's no longer the case. The new portion size will fill you up, but the value is no longer there. Quality of ingredients has also been impacted. Previously Korean purple rice was served in the Kimchi boxes but now it's just plain white rice. The rice included in my order today was extremely mushy. They also used to include a pickled item in the box and now it's hit and miss if that's included. Overall, the food is still good, but I may not be as frequent of a customer if things continue down this path. read more

Was hoping this spot would give the other Korean restaurants in the area a run for their money.. slightly disappointed. This spot is definitely worth a try, but maybe better off for takeout. Pros: - food tastes pretty good, presentable Cons: - (my) small bit of salad was not fresh - inside the restaurant needs serious cleaning At first glance, the prices seem a bit high, but the bowls and boxes here seem to be a bit bigger than normal, it's definitely enough food. Taste is OK. Don't forget to add your gochujang sauce.. Environment is a serious downgrade from what peiwei had here before.. Place needs a good cleaning... i've seen the same stains and dust on the walls, not to mention ceiling back when this was a different ownership Water cups are NOT re-useable, and are out in the open.. if it's not a health code violation, it's a red flag in today's health concerns Hopefully the Plymouth location is better operated read more
