    They are always consistent! I love coming into the bakery and I love grabbing this hot dog bun! The staff is always nice! There's a few seats in the front if you want to stay and eat. But it's good to go! They have a large selection of sweet and savory pastries! Also lots of loaves and cookies. I also love getting their cakes because they aren't too sweet and decently priced! I would recommend calling them ahead of time (maybe 2-3 days beforehand) for cakes! I have walked in and just picked up a cake before, but the options may be limited depending on the day!

    Absolutely beautiful bakery, really great selection. Will be happy to stop by again! I enjoyed everything I picked out immensely. Must try if you are craving sweets!

    I came here twice lately. Second time was ordering a cake for my son's graduation celebration. I ordered the fruity layered cake. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious! The fruits were blended in the cream in the layers and on top! Not super sweet which I like a lot! We have a small group of 7. We almost finished the cake right after lunch! The place also has all kinds of other baked goods, I bought a few fried donuts and they were so good! Will come back for other bakery needs for sure!

    If you've never been to Kim's bakery, I can safely say you're missing out. I stopped by on a Sunday morning just to browse and ended up getting a kimchi beef koroke, a curry chicken koroke, a custard bread, and one of their ham sandwiches. My family will get the sandwich bread (ask them to slice it for you if it's cold), which we also really enjoy. There's some seating outside but not really inside. Staff are very friendly and nice as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone in the area-- they are stocked differently depending on the day but I especially love all their bread items. Safe to say one of my favorite bakeries in STL to stop by!

    Kim's bakery is a breath of fresh air and truly a treat compared to the sea of mediocre shops offering generic vanilla or chocolate cake. The storefront is bright, open, and stocked with plenty of hand crafted baked goods. I picked up a match roll, melon bread, red bean and cream bread, chicken curry korokke, and rice donuts(not pictured as they were eaten on the way home), the staff is friendly and food is amazing. I'm not normally a person who frequents bakeries, as most bakeries make things too sweet and options are limited, while there's plenty of sweets to be had at Kim's, they have an offering of plenty of savory and not too sweet options here which are far more appealing for my palate. One of the best bakeries around, I highly recommend the rice donuts and melon bread.

    This is a place I go to often in for years to get the custard fill bread. The bread has the right amount of sweetness to them. I have tried quite a lot of other bread at this place but the custard fill bread is the one that brings me back to buy more. My kids especially love them. I am not aware of any other bakery in saint Louis that make them beside this place. The selections varies therefore best to come here early if wanting to buy in a big quantity .

    Their cakes have all been great. They never disappoint. It is recommended to reserve a cake days in advance so that you are guaranteed to get what you want.

    We no longer live in the area, but when we're back in town, we always stop at Kim's Bakery. We love the selection, tasty food, and friendly staff. Today, we were able to get some of our favorites...red bean bun, chocolate coronet, chocolate cookies, and almond cookies. Nothing here is too sweet, and it's always fresh and delicious. Don't miss out on this gem if you live in the area.

    I like going here for freshly made bakeries. The store is always clean and neat. Staffs are friendly and welcoming. My favorites are their custard and cream cheese breads - which tends to be sold out pretty fast. I tried their melon breads couple times before but it's not my cup of tea. They also have some savory items and birthday cakes. My family and I especially loved the sweet potato cake here a lot. Must try item!

    This little gem of a bakery is small but has a lot of selections for their baked goods!! They have everything from classic red bean buns to fancy cream-filled pastries and even green tea flavored treats. My personal favorite is the korean style croquette bread. The lady working there was an absolute sweetheart too. Super helpful and friendly. Overall, I would recommend it!

    Our colleague introduced us to this birthday cake and it was absolutely delicious! It's one of the lightest cake I've had. I'm sure I can eat the whole cake by myself with no problem! The bakery shop is small but packed with goodies.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but since it's a bit out of the city and in the…read moresuburbs, I didn't walk in with super high expectations. I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

We had a group of 7 and we ordered 4 dishes (each serving 2) and we had more than enough for at least 2 more people. The side dishes were pretty good.

I liked the art on the walls and the K-pop playing. On to the menu.... The All You Can Eat (AYCE) selection at WUDON is not AYCE. Unlike all AYCE KBBQ restaurants, WUDON limits selective items that you can order more than once. At AYCE sushi or other BBQs, once you select AYCE, everything can be ordered as much as you want. To top it off, you are required to share a soup, a pancake, and steamed egg. I was disappointed to find that you had to share those items and could not order more. Not exactly "all you can eat". And, like other reviewers, the galbi, or short rib, platter is a one-time order deal. That's..... unheard of for a $28.99 AYCE weekend lunch. St. Louis does not have many Asian cuisine options, especially Korean, so I always try to be understanding if the quality or service isn't the best. My issue is that they should not call a menu selection "all you can eat" if there are contingencies on how many times you can order certain items. I would pay $15 for All you can eat here, not $30+. If you are looking for a first time experience doing AYCE KBBQ in St. Louis, by all means, try WUDON. Since LA, NY, and Chicago are too far to get AYCE KBBQ that is worth it, WUDON is the next (somewhat good) choice.

I rarely, if ever, do reviews for food that I've had delivered. That said, the tacos that I got from Seoul Taco this evening were TOO GOOD not to recommend. I was ravenous, and after taking my first bite, I ate them so dang fast that I completely neglected to take a picture. I got three Seoul tacos (one beef, one chicken, one pork), with an extra side of Seoul sauce (in blind anticipation of needing more sauce). Every flavor was phenomenal--full of flavor and very generous portion in each taco. I can't even pick a favorite--they were ALL that GOOD! The Seoul sauce is delicious too, and while they put plenty on the taco to begin with, I happily drowned them in more. Definitely don't skip the tacos! I did also try the kimchi fried rice, which was just okay. Not bad, but maybe not for me personally. I can't knock it though. I also got a miso caramel cookie which was the perfect sweet ending to my meal, albeit not very strong on the miso. I can't WAIT to try more from this place and go visit in person.

Note: your group has to be all-or-nothing for ordering from the menu or the AYCE. The children's discount only applies to kids aged 4-7.

The meat choices were plentiful (you can pick two options per round). Side dishes, shared soups, rice and lettuce were all plentiful and tasty. Service was constant, with them asking what we needed more of, and checking if we were ready for another round of grilling meats. We got a couple more rounds of the meats, and got plenty of refills on rice, lettuce and sides as needed. Everything was great.

The right amount of blistered tomatoes to cut through all that fatty richness. Wonderful!
