The bartender seemed irritated we were there as a group, despite it being incredibly empty at 5:30pm. She seemed annoyed at my friend needing to double check her order on the online menu? My spouse went up to order at the bar and was apparently waiting in the incorrect spot but she ignored them, made no move to correct them or ask them to move to the register until after someone else went up to order. One of my friends went up to place their order and she just stared at them and didn't say anything. She never once greeted us as we entered or spoke kindly/professional to any of us. Despite happily greeting and speaking to several other people who arrived after us. I could have excused the poor service if the bar was super busy/hectic but it was so early in the day and there were maybe 3 other pairings of people in there... My friends and I are all younger and somewhat queer looking. I was under the impression this was a somewhat queer friendly place but it certainly didn't feel that way. I don't know for sure if that's what it was but it felt like there was some sort of prejudice from the moment we walked in. We were not welcomed there regardless. The food was pretty good, and drinks were fine. The service alone was so hostile and uncomfortable I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here.

After a long day of volunteering for the holiday, my friend and I were on the hunt for a good meal…read moreto reward ourselves. We stumbled upon Kimchi Box, and what an amazing find it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how spotless and inviting the place was. The lady behind the counter greeted us with a warm smile and genuine friendliness. She patiently answered all our questions about the menu and never once made us feel rushed, even as we took our time deciding. Truly some of the best customer service I've experienced! Once we sat down, the food started arriving, and it looked (and smelled) incredible. We started with the gyoza, which was perfectly crispy and cooked to perfection. Next came the sweet chili chicken wings--seasoned just right, with the perfect kick of spice. I ordered the honey garlic popcorn chicken, which came with beautiful purple Korean rice, a fresh side salad, and a tangy kimchi salad. Every bite was delicious--I didn't leave a single crumb on my plate! My friend raved about her bulgogi taco, and together we demolished the gyoza and wings. The vibe inside is cozy and welcoming, a big contrast to its humble exterior in the plaza. If you're in Tacoma and craving something delicious, Kimchi Box is a must-try. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu!

Order at the counter or order online like I did and pick up. 4 instead of 5 stars because the kimchi box no longer has jap chae and all the japchae options are now more expensive, and jap chae was unavailable for online ordering on clover ("noodle box"). Kid friendly - if your kid likes meat and rice, or chicken wings. Food is always good with quick friendly service. I liked it a little better with the original menu (see above) but it's still probably my go to spot since it's closer than driving to South Tacoma Way for Korean food.

I'm not sure how often they clean the nozzles on the taps, but it needs to be done more often I would think. we ordered the wings, when they came out, they were piping hot, and we were excited until about the third wing in for each of us. After the wings have been on the table for about 10 minutes, the honey jalapeño started to congeal, and the other flavor breading just started to fall off. Unfortunately, this is not the place for wings anymore, or beer until they clean those nozzles. Super nice and helpful bartender.

Friendly service and great drinks! We ordered the stuffed peppers (classic wooden city) and the burrata with bread pudding. Both were so great. Almost opted for dessert but chose to explore a few more places instead. Definitely would recommend! Get reservations if dining with a group, but with the larger location it's feasible to drop in as well. Excellent service and great atmosphere, the restaurant has such a nice vibe.

You could really see how well the team worked together--everyone was helpful and attentive. I asked for my wings to be cooked well-done and was even given the option to select how long I wanted them cooked. I chose 25 minutes, and they came out perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Overall, a smooth experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back!

Older Man with a moustache that was standing outside the door, blocking me from leaving. I said excuse me and he ignored me and continued his conversation with somebody else outside, making me wait even though it was pretty clear that I collected my order and was trying to leave. It's been a long day and I did not pay money to come here and have somebody who works there treat me like their conversation was more important than letting me leave. This was completely disrespectful.

The girl that took our order was not happy to be there AT ALL! We stepped up to the counter to order, forget asking any questions. You could not understand what even her question of dipping sauce or original or spicy was. Not in a language barrier way but she was basically whispering in a way to not engage. It seemed like there was a steady stream of customers so for the owner that is nice, I am glad for that but I wouldn't run back due to the very unfriendly service.

We got there and as the food had not been started yet, we asked for cheese on half of it only. They said they don't do that which is a lie, because I have gotten it like that several times. Ten minutes after it should have been done, I went to check....not started. Asked the cheese request again, NO. When I got the food, about 15 minutes late, I asked to speak to the manager. The female clerk refused to get them because they were slammed. It is not an eat in place, only us and one person were waiting for food. She still refused to get him. I let her know Yelp and Ubereats would be hearing about this. I, in the past, have high recommended this place because of what they do for the community. After today, I will never return.
