    Yaki mandu

    Very fresh and flavorful. All made by a sole Korean gentlemen, who took over the place when the original folks who ran it retired. I must say the tradition is being carried on very well. My daughter and I both went Beef Bulgogi, and I was very glad it wasn't too sweet, rather than some Americanized ones from other Korean places in our area. Ban Chan was nice, with perfect portions to not have to ask for more. Their Kimbap is huge, as well, and we wound up taking half home. The pan-fried Mandu was not as lucky, because they were all greedily devoured at the table. Our waitress was very nice--not Korean--but knew the menu very well. We were the first people in there when they opened, and by the time we were done every table was taken.

    Food is great! I love bulgogi, seafood pancake. The hygienic conditions are something to improve. I brought my mom there and she did not approve. Found food remains or black dots on cups.

    I'm a Korean guy from California, the land where Korean restaurants flow like salmon of Capistrano. I'm here for a week at Gonzaga for a conference. After 4 days of sandwiches and pizza and burgers, my DNA was disturbed and badly craving some Korean food. I did a quick Google search and this was the only legit looking Korean restaurant in the area. I thought to myself, it's probably not going to be very good but I'll give it a try. It was surprisingly delicious. As soon as I walked in, I knew this place was legit by the decor and the family running the restaurant. The daughter created me and then she hollered in Korean to her parents. "We've got a party of one!" The banchan was excellent and the soondooboo was delicious. They had gourmet seafood inside, clams, prawns, squid. Loved it. 잘 먹었습니다! I ate well thank you!

    Small mom and pop shop, owned by a couple for 22 years. The only workers are family members, very humble beginnings. Super friendly staff. For large groups call ahead. We were able to seat 6 with a 20 min wait. We loved the appetizers and the bulgogi. Super fresh vegetables and the kimchi was great with the purple rice! I could easily see why people say this is the best place in Spokane!

    It's not very often you go to a place at 3pm and every table is full, but that is exactly what we witnessed today at Kim's Korean. And I can see why!! The food was phenomenal. Literally no words. I couldn't even tell you a favorite because it was all so good. I forgot to take photos of everything because I was too busy salivating and munching on it. Everything was so fresh and well made. The portions were generous. Seriously one of the best meals I've had all year. We will be back.

    A variety of banchan!

    Great Korean food away from Korea. Food was excellent and service was great!! We had Kalbi, meat jun, kimbap, and japjae.

    Banchan has a good variety

    Food was good, but the service does take some time. There's only one person serving the tables and it took a loooong time to get our food. The banchan was tasty... refills are $1 each and don't expect the same portion size... felt like it was less. Korean herbal tea is not the same as Korean tea. I was not a fan and next time will order green tea. Ordered the galbi. Good portion but the meat was also fatty. Purple rice is always great. They only do takeout after 7 pm and if the tables are full she will give you the choice of waiting or leaving. Good spot and I'll probably come back.

Food-"I only waited 5 minutes" for my meal! "It was already prepared"! And it showed. The owner suggested the pork bellies as apposed to the plain pork, because he said they have more flavor. The meat had very little flavor!, and the meat was tuff. It was stale.The sauce over powered the flavor of the meat. Lots and lots of sauce!! I'm sorry to be so blunt but, the kimchi was bad. There were 4 or 5 kinds. I've had good Korean food in California. -Not trying to be a snob-, but jeeez. You expect kimchi to be spicy...some flavor, at the very least. You call what I ate Bulgogi! I didn't know they made it with pork. So I tried it; mistake. I could have had a feast a Taco Bell for that price lol. Didn't give one star because the guy was really nice. I had to give this review "to be honest". You guys are a business. Each customer should be just important as the next. I may have gotten a bad meal. Maybe not all are like that. But I'm saying, you can't expect to serve "ready made meals" that have allegedly been sitting for hours in the pot. Then expect your customers to pay full price. When I pay restaurant prices, I expect for a restaurant to cook up the meal, not to be a fast food experience. I paid almost $25 for that meal and it was no more than a fast food entrée. And it was stale.

    Incredible service and incredible meal! This was our second attempt at eating here. The first time…read morewas on a BUSY Saturday night and every table was full + a line. That is when we knew we needed to eat here someday. So we decide to visit another time and today was the day! We came around 5pm Friday night and got seated immediately. Our server (perhaps the owner?) was perfectly attentive. They came for our order quickly and food came quickly too. I got the Japchae and my friend got the beef bulgogi. Both INCREDIBLE! Highly highly recommend!

The bench seating was kind of fun for my larger group of about 7-8 people, though it didn't make it any easier to talk to everyone, only those nearest to me.

    While in Spokane, I wanted to try something different. So my friends and I found this great looking…read moreramen spot called Nudo. I thought it funny that the name of the shop sounded like it was either calling attention to or poking fun at the southeast Asian pronunciation of the word noodle, but the pictures were undeniable! So in just minutes from the Davenport Hotel, we walk thru the doors. I was very impressed with the modern art aesthetic that adorn the surrounding walls of the dining area. Pop art is a very common look at more modern ramen places so I was feeling very comfortable and confident that we'd come to the right place. The staff was friendly and amazing from the get go and all throughout! Starving, we sat down and our eyes tore through the menu with excitement. Most satisfyingly was the fact that we'd come at happy hour and ramen bowls were $10 each! Now as a ramen goer, I will always go to TanTan if it's on the menu and it was! My mind was made. My other two friends ordered the Spicy beef in a shoyu broth and a spicy Tonkotsu (both looked amazing)! We also ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu: Salt and Pepper Tofu and the Spicy Pork Wontons! Both of those were HIGHLY RECOMMENDs, but if you're sharing the Tofu goes much farther with the wontons only having 3 pieces but AMAZING flavor (PRO TIP: you can also use the left over sauce to experiment with other tastes later in your meal). Once the appetizers hit the table it was gone! Hence the no pictures, for which I greatly apologize. I've failed you again, my Yelp family. But please know it was because I'm a fat ass and couldn't hold back my hunger. But finally, the main courses came out. My mind clear from the nourishments of the appetizers, I was able to snap a picture of. Maybe not as much of a, "my mind was clear" as it was a, "Carrots and corn in my ramen? YUCK!" Now I get the corn. In Hokkaido style they like to put sweet corn on the surface and slap some butter on it, and THAT I always have time for. But corn?? In my opinion, there's no place for carrots in ramen because the sweetness will always off balance the taste. Especially in a pork bone broth, but definitely not invited to my TanTan party, but I digress. Being the huge lover that I am of food and adventure, I thought I'd give it a try. But from the first bite, I realized that I was right about the flavor, forgot about the texture and was surprised to find Chicken in my ramen. No ohana... ramen is one of my favorite things EVER! Growing up in my life we'd eat dry bags of Maruchan/Top Ramen with the seasoning in it for fun, as kids. You know which one flavor I NEVER ate? CHICKEN! It just never hit to me. And here, betraying me in my coveted TanTan was chicken! Besides all of these things, my ramen was slightly hotter than warm. I grew up eating traditional style ramen, where you had to want it! Meaning the broth would undoubtedly burn your lips but you HAD TO WANT IT fresh or you'd miss out on what good ramen was. So disappointedly, I rested my chopsticks across the brim of the bowl in defeat and pulled the menu back. Meanwhile, from across the table I hear the satisfying sounds of slurps and bowls being picked up and set down on the table. So I ask how their food was. Both were very happy and both did look good, but I needed something that wouldn't miss this time. So with that in mind, I asked for the Spicy ramen! But this time I made a few adjustments. Audibles if you will (heck, it's football season). I asked for no carrots and no corn (of which she whiffed on the no corn, but thankfully there were no carrots) and almost MOST importantly: I asked for the noodles to be half cooked! My waitress, who: LET ME JUST STOP HERE AND GIVE HER THE FLOWERS SHE DESERVES! I feel bad that I don't remember her name or who don't have a picture with her but I was there during happy hour on the 7th of September (Monday) and she looked like she could have been the daughter part of a mother/daughter duo that was working the dining area! I appreciate you! NOW BACK TO THE FOOD! So my order again: Spicy Beef Ramen, no corn or carrots with the noodles half cooked! And the next bowl that was set in front of me redeemed the entire food experience. My ramen was piping hot and perfect. Sizable chunks of well cooked beef, dressing the landscape of my bowl like mountains on a map. Just beautiful. I couldn't wait to dive in. And from the first bite, it was redemption! The beef was so soft! It had a rich flavor that made me check it to see if they maybe upgraded me to ox tail. They hadn't, but it was definitely an upgrade from that shredded chicken fiasco I'd just come away from. The spice level was perfect. And the temperature of the soup melted all of the natural juices and oils of all the ingredients into the broth. Exactly like it's supposed to do!
