"Kimchi is a traditional Korean staple of salted and fermented vegetables, most commonly napa cabbage or radish, seasoned with ingredients like garlic, ginger, and Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru). It's known for its spicy, tangy, and savory flavor, and is served as a side dish (banchan).." What intrigued me about Kimchi Grill is the Korean-Mexican fusion aspect, located in the heart of Eastern Parkway, known for its Korean BBQ, tacos, burritos, and bowls. I stopped in for a snack before heading to Bklyn Botanical Garden. So many choices in the tacos: crispy chicken, pomegranate and veggies, tofu, braised beef short ribs and falafel. Yowza! There is a three taco special or two tacos with Sapporo. Hmmm, the Sapporo, then I thought if I have accidente in Japanese Garden.. hey falling down drunk is a scary sideshow.. but I digress. I wanted Kara-age chicken and was led to the Korean Fried Chicken Kimchi Taco and for a drink Bubble Tea with Boba. The KFC taco is battered in sweet rice flour, double fried, tossed in organic blue agave nectar, ginger garlic and sesame seed Korean pepper glaze, served with pickled daikon and queso blanco with chipotle aioli..scrumptious! I started with one and ordered a second. The chicken is lip smacking good. There will be future visits to try different options. The disappointment was the Bubble Tea. First, I should have asked how it was prepared because the taste of it was not that great, can't explain but it tasted like condensed milk. Additionally, serving paper straws was a bit challenging to scoop up my boba. Next time, I will try the different flavored margaritas. There is a kids menu, burritos, rice bowls and food can come vegan or gluten free. The ambience is cool, brick walled interior and plenty seating for a small space. The service is very friendly and it did get busy after I came in. The employee who takes the order served every table their meal. Just another great find on Washington Avenue!

Very casual, primarily a takeout spot but they do have a few tables and counter seating. The service is excellent! The food was just ok. We got the kimchi fried rice in the burrito and it kind of lacked flavor. The chicken wings were good but didn't have that Korean fried chicken magic. The taco was the best and that's what I would go back for. read more

I'm afraid I was deceived by the 4/5 rating. I was super excited to try the fusion of korean flavors with mexican inspiration. There was seating inside and some delivery men picking up orders so I thought that was a sign of popularity/ goodness. I got the $11.95 3 taco deal with short rib, fish, and korean fried chicken. I also got the strawberry mint limeade. There were burgers advertised out in the front but aren't on the menu so it was confusing- I wanted to try the kimchi smash burger but won't be coming back again. They put daikons and pickled radish in the taco so it was more sour than savory. The korean fried chicken was by far the worst, with the batter being so soggy it didn't match up to how crunchy korean fried chicken is supposed to be. The fish taco was a bit better but you can tell the fish isn't fresh with the way it clumped together when you bit into it. The batter on the outside also wasn't great. The short rib was better but the flavors just didn't go together. The limeade was terrible- the strawberry tasted like medicine. My friend got the short rib burrito and there ended up being no kimchi- instead there were pickled radish. I'm glad there was water to wash down these flavors. read more

Kimchi Grill - BBQ Beef Short Rib Taco - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hands down the worst dining experience I've had in Brooklyn in the couple months I been here. I ordered a tofu stew (straight disgrace) and a smash burger. The stew doesn't have any of the traditional Korean taste at all or ingredients, it's legitimately poorly flavored water. The smash burger was the worst burger I've had in my life. They buns aren't toasted, the cheese somehow hadn't melted, and the patties themselves were burnt blacker than Voldemort's heart. The rice consistency is incredibly sus and the corndog batter tastes like something spoiled. I spent damn near $50 on a meal for my wife and I but threw everything into the trash after one bite. No one deserves to have a meal that disappointing in their life.. read more

had the pleasure of dining at Kimchi Grill recently, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. Their creative fusion of authentic Korean flavors with beloved street food classics is nothing short of brilliant. I decided to try their Korean BBQ Beef Short Rib taco, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The beef was cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and richly seasoned--while the tangy slaw added a refreshing crunch that perfectly complemented the bold, savory meat. The layers of flavor were incredibly well-balanced, showcasing the thoughtful care and attention they put into their dishes. What truly impressed me was their unwavering commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients and crafting dishes that feel both comforting and excitingly new. The menu is filled with creative options that highlight their passion for blending tradition with innovation. Kimchi Grill has definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to spots for unique, mouthwatering meals. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their amazing offerings. read more

Oh how I love Kimchi Grill, let me count the ways. 1. The wings are always crispy and every flavor is a good choice. 2. I frequently switch between the burritos, bowls, and tacos as my entree and I have yet to be disappointed by any of the 3 options. 3. Their frozen margaritas are way less expensive than a craft cocktail at your favorite eatery but just as delicious. 4. The service is also great. The staff will make substitutions whenever I need them and they've even make recommendations to me when new flavors / items are added to the menu. I LOVE stopping by here whenever I'm in the area and I'm happy to sing their praises whenever someone ask me about my favorite Korean Fried Chicken wings. read more

The food is pretty small for the prices. We got wings, chimichurri beef bimbimbap rice bowl, chicken burger and fries. Chicken wings were not that fried and the Korean spicy sauce wasn't that spicy.

Solid food overall, did a take out order from here awhile back. Chicken had a decent flavor but was disappointingly dry. Most of the other food was enjoyable but not very memorable.

The food has both the taste and textures of exactly what you'd expect of a toddler's, 5 day old re-warmed takeout. Nothing is fresh or flavorful. It's all packaged. The "spicy rice gnocchi" is obviously the frozen kind you get out of a Costco equivalent. I knew it was a bad idea for me when I didn't even smell food cooking when I came in. Yet, against my better judgment I took the chance. SMH. Damn me! read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found another fantastic local find! Kimchi Grill is wonderful! I was looking for a tasty place in the area and it certainly didn't disappoint. Thankfully, when I got there, seating was available since there were only a few tables and stools. I tried the short rib burrito with kimchi fried rice and kimchi refried beans (i love kimchi!), and it was delicious. The burrito was perfectly wrapped, held in all the ingredients, and the various components were the perfect marriage of flavors! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and look forward to trying the tacos next time! read more

I really really wanted to like this place, and even after reading some "meh" reviews still decided to check it out. Fried chicken wings -- 5 stars. I will be coming back and ordering those specifically. I got the soy/ginger wings and they were delicious and am interested to try the original flavor but chickened out (heh heh) because I was nervous it would be too spicy. They were a little steep -- six bucks for three wings as an add-on when I ordered the burrito. Short rib burrito - 3 stars. While it was very filling, it seemed to only have rice, beans, kimchi, and meat. It just seemed very dense. I chose the short rib after reading reviews but found it very smokey tasting. The flour tortilla was really good. Overall, if I'm ever craving wings I'll absolutely be coming back here. I'd even try and taco or two! Not a huge fan of the burrito. The delivery was fast and I recommend ordering through their website for 5% off, which redirects you to order through ChowNow. read more

Kimchi Grill - Korean BBQ Beef Short Rib Burrito - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been coming here almost weekly since the pandemic started for take-out, and I greatly appreciate the plethora of vegan AND gluten-free options. My current favorite is the Ssam burrito with spicy tofu (so many great flavors and I love the combo of textures of the chewy rice paper wrap, crisp lettuce and vegetables inside, and the meaty tofu chunks). The flavors linger even like an hour or two after eating it and my mouth is still happy then. I also really love the Thai Peanut Bowl (with the tofu), and the various vegan tacos. Once in a while, I'll also treat myself to the fried rice gnocchi (fried rice cakes), which are fun in texture. I also like the kimchi bowls they have, but even with the "least spicy" option, it's always just a little too spicy to fully enjoy. They're always pretty speedy in preparing my food - I don't think I've had to wait more than 20-25 minutes after I put my order in online to when it's ready to pick up. Will definitely keep coming here as long as I'm living in the area! read more

This isn't it. The idea of a Mexican-Korean fusion is interesting and the photos looked great, but the quality and combination of ingredients from the two different cuisines was mediocre at best. My friends and I looked up this place and decided to give it a try after a long morning walk. We were super excited and hungry, but when we started eating, we had mixed feelings about the taste that we couldn't quite put our tongues on. Then, one of us said, "The short ribs taste good by itself, but weird with everything together." And that was exactly it. I ordered the Big Belly Burrito with the Tofu Edamame Falafel upon the hostess's recommendation for a vegetarian option. I got it with the kale-lettuce mix as my base and kimchi refried beans. Unfortunately, the burrito I got was super disproportionate with only a few pieces of falafel and a lot of lettuce. The abundance of lettuce ended up making my burrito soggy and dripping as I took a bite from it each time. On a side note for the kimchi-lovers, the kimchi that they use here is super fresh and not aged at all; offering a bit more of an acidic taste. You can tell it hasn't been fermented for very long. My table also got the kimchi fries to share. I personally didn't like it because it gave off the frozen-fries taste, but my friends said that they preferred the fries over the burritos they ordered so that's another statement in itself. read more

What has happened to the once coveted Kimchi Grill? I used to go to kimchi grill on Smith street and get the bulgogi bowls, the korean inspired burritos and everything in between. They were the pinnacle of Mexican meets Korean food. Two cuisines that reigned supreme! (okay I'm going a bit nutty here) However my latest trip to the remaining Kimchi Grill location proved to be similar to eating Kimchi. It stunk. We ordered multiple tacos, Fish, beef short rib, a Beef short rib Burrito, some Kimchi Fries, multiple orders of wings, Spicy as well as the soy garlic. Everything was below average, mediocre, sad even. The tacos were probably the best out of the group and the fish shone through. The presentation was a bit blah, no greenery anywhere, no scallion, no cilantro. flavorwise it was all heat, the hot sauce dulled everything else and while good, it really took all the flavor out of the taco. The Burrito was second on the list of good to bad, the short rib seemed more like just beef or steak, although by the time I was eating it, we were home so I couldn't ask if it was short rib or not. Flavors were good but it was super sweet instead of savory which a large burrito should not be. Wings were a major disappointment, soggy, soaked in sauce, no crisp or crunch anywhere. Kimchi Fries were an even bigger disappointment. I remember these being absolutely amazing. this time they were sad sad sad. beans, excessive amounts of kimchi, no meat (was I asked if I wanted meat?! I'm not sure!) sigh.... I think I may just let Kimchi Grill live on in my memories of being amazing versus what they are now. It would take a lot for me to come back here, especially since getting here took a while. There are many many taco spots and fusion mexican joints that do it well, and better and less expensive read more

This is a great Mexican-Korean fusion restaurant totally optimized for pandemic times, replete with frozen takeaway margaritas and food that travels incredibly well. Unique dishes like Korean BBQ short rib burrito and Kimchi falafel tacos dot their menu and cater to vegetarians and carnivores alike. This pescatarian even got her seafood fix here with the Krispy fish bowl! Looking for some post-protest fuel, I found Kimchi Grill in my bookmarks collection on Yelp. I ordered online as I was walking to the restaurant and my food was ready by the time I arrived. The frozen margarita was packaged really nicely to avoid any spillage and it quenched the intense thirst I built up from a day of marching. The drink was perfectly strong and sweet-- just the thing I needed on a hot day. My one regret in ordering the Krispy fish bowl is that I got it over a bed of greens which is just an instinct I have from being brainwashed into fearing carbs. This meal would have been many times tastier if I had just decided to indulge a little get it over rice. The fish was nicely seasoned and well portioned and true to their name, the Kimchi was fire (cool kid speak for 'good'). Their extensive menu and $7 frozen margaritas will have me coming back for more. read more

I ordered the spicy chicken taco, short rib beef taco, and fish taco. all of the meats were dry. The fish was fishy, the short rib was tough, the chicken was the best of the three, but still was not very satisfying. I would not re-order the tacos. The meat is really the cornerstone of every dish/bowl/taco/burrito option here, other than the dumplings. I'm so surprised and disappointed that so many of the meats were so bad. 1-2 stars each. However, the Mandu dumplings were delicious. I got the chicken ones, and like that you can choose to have them prepared steamed or fried. The dipping sauce was excellent too. 5 stars for the dumplings. Edit: the second time I ordered the Mandu dumplings, I still enjoyed them, but they weren't as crispy and I realized how steep $12 for 6 dumplings are. It's not even a full meal's worth, and most restaurants charge $7-9 for 6-8 dumplings in an appetizer. This pricing is expensive and the second time they weren't quite as good. Overall rating this place 2 stars. Would have been 3 stars before the second dumpling experience, and considering price/value. read more

This place happens to be right across the street from my salon so I finally decided to try it out. I tried the Korean bbq beef bowl along with the gnocchi and the Korean fried chicken (my fav) . They definitely need to kick up the flavor bc it's there. My beef was a bit over cooked and the pickled veges were missing something. It would've been nice if a bit of gravy drippings from the beef was dropped over the rice bc the bowl was a bit on the dry side. I will request this next time . The fried chicken was AMAZING! I opted to have the soy ginger and sweet spicy sauce on the side. I took off the 1 star just for that small lack of flavor. The owner seemed to be losing his mind packaging orders which was quite to funny watch . Still a really cool spot to sit down and have a beer or drink while waiting/eating your food. read more

Always consistent, always lick-smacking layers of flavors in the food. Every so often, I go on a Kimchi Grill binge, and then I take breaks. Currently, I am off a break, and realized that I have never written a review for some dope ass food! I have no idea what came over me, but here we go... The chicken wings are amazing, regardless of which flavor you choose. Crispy, but not dry. The taco combo is a favorite, because I can never decide on one. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius! I just wish they would add a little more meat in the tacos. I love the layers of flavors in the nachos (sans pork for me). I even order the kids combo, because I like Kimchi Grill's guacamole and black beans. I usually have this as lunch, with a side wings. Now, my most favorite thing at the Kimchi Grill is the Big Belly Burrito! I build my own... my signature BBB includes the juicy, exceptionally flavorful short rib, kimchi infused and combined black & pinto beans, kimchi fried rice, and guacamole. You can select your level of spice as well. Heaven rolled up! I rarely finish the entire thing at lunch, but the second half makes the best dinner. It's packed with layer upon layer of spicy goodness. A harmonious relationship of flavors. I pray that the Kimchi Grill stays around, close to my office, and remains consistent. read more

Kimchi Grill - Short rib Big Belly Burrito - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Popped in on a whim after a visit to the museum. We were kind of wandering till we found something that spoke to us and the second I saw the word "kimchi" my mouth started to water. A small cafe sized dining room with one long bench and a couple of chairs to seat. Don't let the size fool you, people were picking up orders to go the whole time. I went with the sundubu jjigae while my bf got the chicken katsu curry. I can usually put away a bowl but I just barely finished theirs. You could easily share with two people but thankfully I'm the only one who likes kimchi out of the two of us there were a couple women next to us. Really enjoying the margaritas that they had. I would not have gotten one with my food but I would definitely get one on my next visit! read more

Kimchi Grill has been on my bookmarks list for a while, ever since my coworker who lives in the neighborhood raved about the place. Intrigued by the Korean-Mexican fusion concept, I ordered the Korean BBQ beef short rib burrito ($10.95) with kimchi fried rice (extra $.75) and two types of beans. With all that generous goodness and pickled vegetables wrapped inside a flour tortilla, I found the entree to be more than enough for one person. The sweet, spicy, savory marinade on the Korean BBQ beef was delicious, with the other ingredients surprising and delighting my taste buds in every bite. I had been deciding between the burrito vs. the bowl. While the latter had more vegetables, I was informed that the former had more quantity. Hungry and greedy, I opted for the hefty burrito. The staff here was very hospitable and friendly. I was offered complimentary hot Korean corn tea (the corn flavor was very subtle) while waiting for my order. With indoor dining now at 25% capacity, there was one table and one counter stool seat available inside. However, it looks like they are primarily doing brisk takeout and delivery service. FYI the prices in-store are cheaper than the delivery app prices. For example, the burrito is $2 more on Caviar/Doordash. read more

Everytime I come here I have the best experience. Some of my favs are the kimchi burger or the Korean short rib burrito!!!!

Review based on chicken wings and spicy korean "rice gnocchi" In NYC, where korean chicken wings are the king of crispy and flavorful, Kimchi grill has succeeded in neither traits. The wings are below average. The chicken wings are very battered, lack that "crisp", and are borderline soggy. The chipotle honey sauce, is a bland mess, brings no flavor to the chicken wing. The korean spicy flavor fares better, but I can't help but think it isn't just plain gopchujang sauce slathered all over. The maybe one redeeming part of the meal was the spicy korean rice gnocchi aka korean rice cakes. Clever marketing in naming it that way. But anyways, these they fry a little bit and then are placed in sauce. Running at $5.25, however, i would say these are way overpriced for like 7-8 pieces of rice cakes. Honestly, the whole meal deserves 2 stars, but I have yet to try the other items and I really want to like this place, so 3 stars for now. Will update when possible. Bottom line: disappointing if seeking korean style chicken wings read more

I looked this place up online a few weeks before my trip up to NYC. I googled "restaurants near Brooklyn Museum," since that's why I came up here primarily for (to see an exhibit). I had already mapped out exactly what I wanted, so I knew what to do. The menu is quite extensive and slightly overwhelming, so if you have food-decision making choices, definitely look at their website and place a "to-go order" without actually placing it (obviously). I got a lot of food, and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I also didn't wanna NOT try something. The only thing I could've gone without was the kimchi fries. I expected some diced/radish kimchee on them, but there was just the flavoring and other items on the fries. They were good, but I just had a lot of food. I would definitely return here without a question in my mind. I can only hope and pray someone where I live can spread the love of Korean food served in Mexican food styles (Korean tacos, bulgogi burritos, etc...). read more

While I typically love this place I tried a couple new items. The quesadilla was a joke. The drinks dint have alcohol and we're just frozen, flavorless ice. When I called, they told me that it was unfortunate and there wasn't a manager to help. When you spend $70 for two drinks, a burrito, a quesadilla, and a half chicken (small but good)...you expect quality. I'm not impressed and I hope they call to rectify the situation because this isn't what they used to be. Update, the owner contacted me directly and corrected the issue. read more

Popped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. It certainly is unconventional fare but it all looks delicious. Even though their specialty is kimchi, I opted for a Thai peanut bowl with chicken. It was absolutely delicious.

Overall a great meal and I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Ate here twice (pick-up)! As a Korean, I'm always looking for Korean food and this place def runs more Mexican than Korean not a bad thing!! But keep in mind when ordering. 1. Kimchi fries literally da bomb. So so good. It was more of a novelty item for me and my friend, but it ended up being our favorite thing of everything we ate. 2. Korean fried chicken mid. It doesn't taste like Korean fried chicken and tasted kind of ordinary and just some sauce on it. We didn't finish it. 3. Sundubu jigae very very salty. Cooked more like a kimchi jigae with the amount of kimchi they put in . I didn't enjoy it all because the taste was way too salty and just full of MSG. Didn't taste like Sundubu or kimchi jigae (my favorite soup in the world) at all. Was sad about this one in particular because I was rlly craving some home style food. 4. Their kimchi is cool! They gave various "house-made kimchi" with the Sundubu, which tasted good(?) but not amazing. Overall satisfied. 5. Their Korean tacos a hit or miss. I really liked the ssam tacos, but also they over cooked their beef too much. Service was really good and they always packaged the food well for me to bring home. Very, very nice. Place inside is a small area, but has a nice ambience for a small couple or trio to eat at. Do recommend eating there when it's easier than eating at home. Side note: sometimes, the prices in-store is a little cheaper than delivery/pick-up app prices, so I recommend ordering in-person. read more

There's not many Korean or Korean Fusion restaurants in Brooklyn compared to Manhattan, but Kimchi grill is a fun mix of American foods with Korean style. Wings, nachos, and other pretty diverse offerings with Korean BBQ implemented into the dish. We got the Korean BBQ nachos as well as the wings, both delicious. The restaurant also has a loyalty program you could join to save money on your order, but I haven't used that yet (as we ordered through doordash). Either way, the food was reasonably priced and packaged in containers that kept it pretty warm on a cold night. read more

Would've loved to try their food but unfortunately whoever was in charge of closing last night decided that my delivery order (which was already paid for) wasnt worth waiting for a dasher to pick it up. I know someone had a nice little free dinner on me. Pro tip for management: if you're not going to wait for orders to be picked up then maybe change your closing time on third party apps. Doordash allows people to place orders until 9:40pm. Ubereats until 10pm. Yet your Google page says you close at 10. If you're not going to be considerate enough to make sure paid for orders are picked up before you close for the night, then stop taking peoples money well before that time. I waited 2 hours for a delivery that never arrived. No one even had the decency to at least cancel my order. They left the status as "being prepared" the entire time which left me under the impression that they were waiting for it to be picked up. I could've saved so much time. Not only that, but apparently their address on DD isn't the correct address, when my dasher arrived the first time he ended up having to drive 10 minutes to a different location that was already closed. Maybe they were slow last night and closing duties didn't take too much time but it's still unacceptable. Customer service was literally non existent, didn't even get a damn courtesy call. read more

Excellent fast-casual Korean-Mexican tacos and Korean fried chicken. Lots of menu items could make a tapas-style meal. I arrived around lunchtime on a weekday with a friend, ordered at the counter, and had great seating choices. Staff was excellent. For drinks, they offer beers, margaritas, soju cocktails, soft drinks, and fresh fruit drinks. They ran out of Horchata so we ordered fresh Watermelon Juice and Limeade which were both large pours. I enjoyed both which boasted very natural flavors with just a hint of sweetness. Food arrived pretty quickly. We took advantage of the 3/$10 taco deal of any combination and went for these: 1. The KOREAN BBQ BEEF SHORT RIBS TACO gave me happiness that stuck to my ribs. The marinade's just perfect! 2. The KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN (KFC) TACO was poultry in motion! So scrumptious with a carrot/daikon slaw! 3. Then the SEARED SPICY PORK KIMCHI TACO of marinated pork tenderloin was pure porkalicious goodness! The SSAM Taco which promised more Korean fillings of lettuce, rice, and KFC is on my list for next time. Then there ain't no thing like a Korean Fried Chicken wing! While they offer 4 flavor options, we shared my choice of super tasty and meaty garlic/soy/ginger KFC wings. It came with more of that carrot/daikon slaw and this time, I didn't really want to share. While none of the dishes seemed to need more flavor, their sauces are really good. I especially loved their cilantro-based Asian Aji sauce. With food, drinks, and service this good, I'd definitely visit again. TIPS: **VERY walkable to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Brooklyn Museum (right by the museum's 2 subway stop) **wheelchair accessible **no major storefront signage; look for a red vestibule with their name/logo on it **no bathroom but they provide hand wipes read more

We had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from which was one of the reasons they knew I would be happy here, plus their kimchi is absolutely DELISH. Tofu-Edamame taco? Thai Peanut bowl?

This restaurant managed to commit every cardinal sin possible when it comes to fried chicken: 1) The meat was drier than the Sahara desert in a drought. 2) The fry was not crispy in the slightest. I could not tell meat from skin, skin from meat. 3) Absolutely missed the mark on what "soy garlic ginger" is supposed to taste like. It tasted like pure salt--none of the garlic or ginger flavor at all. For now, I cannot recommend this place to satisfy the craving. Any other Korean joint in the neighborhood that does fried chicken will probably be better. I also ordered the Asian horchata. As a fellow Asian person, I can't help but wonder if it's called "*Asian* horchata" to hide the fact that it's not as good as actual horchata. It tastes watery, there's a single cinnamon crumb in it, and has a smoky(?) aftertaste. The note at the end reminds me of sesame, so maybe that's where the "Asian" part comes in? I wouldn't order it again, but at least it's kinda cheap. ($2.50) If Yelp didn't screw over small businesses and other tech companies didn't commit broad-daylight-thievery, I would probably be actually giving this 2/5 stars, but everyone deserves the chance to improve. read more
