Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Kim's Family Korean Restaurant offers a consistently solid Korean dining experience, particularly for those seeking a traditional feel.

The banchan selection is a definite highlight, with many reviewers praising its variety and quality, often refilled generously.

Signature dishes like the Seafood Spring Onion Pancake receive high marks for their crispy texture and generous fillings.

While the BBQ platters are popular, some find the marination on the sweeter side, suggesting opting for unmarinated meats if that's not to your taste.

Soups like the soondubu and kimchi jjigae are noted for their deep, flavourful broths.

However, the $19 cold noodles have been called out as overpriced and lacking in substance.

Overall, it's a reliable spot for authentic Korean food, especially if you appreciate good banchan and a cozy, old-school atmosphere.

We'd recommend making a reservation or visiting during off-peak hours to avoid potential crowds.

What customers say

Kim's Family Korean Restaurant is largely praised for its authentic, hearty Korean dishes, particularly the soups like soondubu and kimchi jjigae, and the extensive, well-seasoned banchan selection.

While many find the BBQ delicious, some note the marinades can be sweet.

A recurring concern is the perceived high price of certain dishes, specifically the cold noodles, which some customers feel are overpriced given their simplicity.

I think the most notable point for this shop is the $19 cold noodles. No meat, no veg. Nothing. Totally overpriced. Food was fresh but the taste did not meet expectations. My advice is that you can e…

I’ve been eating here since my first taste of Korean food about 17 years ago and I’m glad it’s still going strong. The soups are the draw: soondubu and kimchi jjigae have deep, rounded broth with plen…
