This location is a hidden gem in Aberdeen that I feel doesn’t get a lot of credit. The food is so good makes me feel like I’m back home in Korea. The new soy wings they have are my current obsession along with the pickled jalapeños absolutely mouth watering. It’s a great spot to stop in for pick up or dine in and enjoy a cup of hot tea while you wait for food. The ladies and gentlemen that run this establishment always have the best service turning out quality dishes with a smile. Everything I’ve tried hits so stop on in after shopping at Ollie’s and find something that’ll be your new favorite meal

This restaurant is a staple in Aberdeen. I came here and it was quickly packed at 12 pm. The place isn’t decorated and is very simple inside. There is a side bar where one can get marinated cucumber, pickled radish, and kimchi. Tea is also free. I ordered the pork bulgogi and it was delicious, albeit a bit over sweet. The portions are large and I left full. They have many different delicious Korean dishes, including the Korean fried chicken. I’d go here again!

Delicious authentic Korean food! So glad we found this place and checked it out. No frills place, but the food was really great. And the free kimchi and cucumbers are so good too. The place seems to be a mom and pop shop ran by a Korean couple. Would definitely come again if we’re in the area in the future.

Food is tasty. Very casual, order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The ladies that now run it are very nice and welcoming. If you went a lot pre-covid it has changed for the better for sure. The new ventilation was a great move.
If you liked it years ago, you should like it even more now! Get a order of kimbap with your meal and enjoy!

Came in for the first time with a large work group and absolutely loved this place! They were very kind helping to recommend a good veggie option and it was absolutely delicious! The hot tea and side bar of kimchi, pickled radish and cucumber were such a special touch. Everything came out very quickly even with the large group. I left already talking about coming back.

A week after we got back from our S.Korean trip, hubby craved for korean fried chicken, and not wanting to drive to Elicot city, I googled and this place came up. We went there couple years ago and did not like the place. Read the reviews that it is now new management, we are willing to try again, so we drove 30 mins and ordered Gimbap, the 2 kinds of chicken and the beef stir fry. We ate and super happy with the experience of ordering, the service and the ambiance. Self service for the radishes, kimchi and cucumber pickles. Assorted drinks to purchase in their refrigerator and of course free water and tea. We will be a regular!

Every single element of the meal was executed flawlessly. The ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality, and the seasonings were spot-on, creating a beautiful balance of sweet, savory, spicy, and umami. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was also lovely.
Beyond the incredible food, the service was also top-notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. They made us feel welcome and enhanced the overall dining experience.
**In short, Kimchi Joy is a must-try for anyone craving authentic and delicious Korean cuisine.** This meal was a true delight for the senses, and I left feeling completely satisfied and already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for a Korean restaurant that will truly impress, look no further! You won’t be disappointed.
