Kim's So Korean Food in Stuttgart

The restaurant is small and is located on a rather dark side street. But it's definitely worth the few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Königstrasse. The food was delicious and nice and spicy. We know it's difficult to cook squid properly, but the kitchen did an excellent job. We'll definitely come back. If you want to try it, you should definitely make a reservation because it is quite small.

It's not very well lit outside in the evening but it still has a vibe. At first we weren't served for 15 minutes even though the waiter knew we were there because he assigned us the seat, but once it started everything happened very quickly. You order by ticking the things you want on a piece of paper. I'm not an expert on Korean food and I have no idea if it's authentic, but it's definitely very, very tasty.

Food was really extremely good. First time eating squid and not chewing rubber! Everything arrived quickly and generally really recommended. It's a bit tight but I think that suits the atmosphere. The service was a bit rude.

Food very tasty! I will stop by there again and try the dishes. A bit cramped, but ok.

The soup was very tasty! The shop is very small but somehow cozy.

Unassuming, dinky little restaurant thats literally in some back alley I can't weigh in if it's authentic but they served some bomb fried chicken at a pretty reasonable price. It also arrived in literally eight minutes so... Yeah, thumbs up from me :D Atmospheres a bit lacking but hey you get friends and fried chicken what else does one nee

The food was so giving. The auntie is so friendly. The best korean restaurant I've experienced. 👍

Great food that fills you up and leaves you with some leftovers! The food is served quickly, no matter how busy the restaurant is. Unbeatable! A wide selection of food and drink (including things like rice lemonade and Korean beer)… Price-performance ratio is unbeatable! Totally nice staff. Keep it up!

This is a restaurant run by Chinese people. This is a restaurant without traditional Korean taste. The rice is undercooked and the beef stew tastes like tteokbokki. I felt sorry for those who came without knowing.

On my first two visits I found the food "quite okay", but on the third time it wasn't good. The bulgogi was served with a raw egg as a topping. It's not on the menu, when asked they said it was normal. The chicken is pre-fried, gristly and extremely dry. All 3 dishes had 1/3 left over. The hosts completely ignore you, there is no trace of hospitality. No greeting, no smile, no thank you. Operation is actually not necessary here. Here you write down your order yourself on a pad. Never ask if it tasted good. All in all a below average snack bar. But quite expensive.

Authentic Korean specialties. That was very tasty!!

great shop for Korean food. Tastes super delicious. I ordered seaweed and beef roll as a starter and then beef soup with rice as a main course. Really well done

First of all, I didn't feel comfortable eating there. The atmosphere is... well, like a small shop in the far corner of Seoul. Not in the cleanest part of Stuttgart. But... The food is amazing. I was thrilled and will go there again to eat.

This is not Korean food anymore

The food tastes great! It might be too spicy a little for German people here. However, for Asian one, it was tasty and delivered the local Korean taste ~ I love it though! For you guys who don’t usually eat Koran food, I would recommend the Gimchi Soup (which a bit spicy, but I guess you can talk to the staff to decrease the lev of spicy).

We've been here a few times and love it. We've always had Korean BBQ. I've only tried one other dish so far and unfortunately I was a bit disappointed, it was very tasty, but relatively little, which is a shame. The price of the food there is not cheap. However, it's definitely worth it for the BBQ.

Stops taking orders at 1430. Hours should show this.

We loved the food, especially plate 37! The honey mustard chicken is also very good. We will return to try kim,s so's special chicken. The service was very friendly to us and we didn't see anyone having a bad experience :) Cash only, no card.

Very nice conditions and food is also very fresh and tasty! We'd love to come back!

It was a very enjoyable meal. The boss, waiters and chefs are all very good. The food is even more delicious. I hope it will get better and better.

Food was decent, best was fried chicken with honey mustard. Jeyuk Bokkeum was good, decent level of spice. Kimbap and Bibimbap were ok, nothing special. Overall a good place to eat, if you like or craving korean food.

Everything in the restaurant is good except the waitress, she is very rude to the customers. It was really a bad experience for us.

I have eaten here many times but this was the first time the waitress treated us so rudely. Her behavior and communication with guests is so terrible that it cannot be expressed in words. Our check came to 519 euros, but that's not that important. I think firstly the waiter shouldn't come every 5-10 minutes and remind the guests that they are closing soon, I think once is enough. Secondly, at 9:30pm we ordered 3 more dishes and about 5 bottles of soju and after 10 minutes the waitress had already taken away our cutlery and plates and when we said to leave it because we weren't finished yet , the waitress replied "10 more minutes"... Thirdly, shouting so loudly and addressing a guest is the same as telling them directly: "Get out of here, they are not welcome here." I hope that the boss of this wonderful restaurant will have another conversation with the employees. And he will think about whether it is worth hiring such people and paying them to kick out guests. Thanks

The heat in the store is unstoppable, there is only one toilet and it is only used by the employees. There was no ramen spoon for the ramen we ordered. 😃👍

The food was good and the service was quick with friendly workers. Since it was summer when I went, it was very hot in the eating area. An AC appeared to be running, but its effects couldn't be noticed. If you come here, make sure to have cash, as they do not accept any form of digital payment. They also close for a break in the afternoon between 1500-1700. Overall, it was a good experience, and I highly recommend.

Very good Korean food 👍 Extensive menu 😁

The Deopbap Bulgogi was really, really tasty!

I would go again for take-away but wouldn't dine in because of the environment. Many of the tables are situated outside where it smelled like urine. There were also smaller-than-sesame insects (maybe bedbugs) that bit me three times while we were dining. But food-wise, it's great. I really like the cheese fried chicken. They used a delicious "snowing" cheese powder. The other food we ordered was also nice.

We always enjoy coming here to eat. Were here today at 2 p.m. and we were told that the kitchen was already closed. We drove here from Göppingen, almost an hour. Really a shame.

The big plate of barbecue tastes good, but it just looks good in photos. Fried sweet potato powder is delicious!

The food was tasty, but the service left something to be desired. One waitress was sitting at the table further away from us and was making loud video calls to many people. Something different is comfortable. There were also no new supplements, you had to pay extra. This is very untypical for Korean restaurants. A pity.

We've been there more often and so far there's always been delicious fried chicken, but yesterday the chicken tasted old and the breading tasted very dry. Price performance wasn't right.

Overall the place is pretty average. The rice in the Gimbap could've been fluffier, the chicken could've been more tender, the spicy bulgogi could've been marinaded better, and the jjanjjangmen could've been a bit less sweet. I ate it, it was edible. But not really enjoyable If you're interested in really good Korean in Stuttgart, I'd recommend Do Shi Rak instead. About the same price, much much better.

It's a Korean restaurant run by Chinese people, and it's not tasty.

I ordered chicken, but it was pink inside and had a strange smell. I also wanted to order kimbap. Telling them that you have a cucumber allergy I was told that I couldn't make it. I ordered a small bowl of rice instead of gimbap. Also, the service was very unfriendly which surprised me. Overall it was a disappointing visit. There's no next time. I have no idea why this store has such good reviews.

Some of the dishes are authentic (corn dog, kimbab, etc.) and very tasty, others don't taste so good and are quite oily. In addition, the waiters were unfortunately not very friendly. First the order was taken incorrectly. Then, in the middle of our meal, we were asked to pay and told: “Unfortunately the cash register is already closed, so please only pay in cash”. When we asked that this was not noted anywhere, nothing was answered. So my partner had to stop eating and go to the bank. Meanwhile, even though there were still customers sitting, the entire staff cleared away all the tables and chairs - 40 minutes before closing time. That was really a shame.

There are very tasty dishes. It's a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.great

You order pasta with seafood and only get pasta with squid. As an explanation why so, you get the answer: unfortunately there is no seafood. Afterwards you see that another customer gets the pasta with seafood. To explain why, you get a “Lost in Translate” story. The meaning is something like this: Squid is a seafood.

Nothing special, unfortunately just okay. It's not enough for a second visit even though the Korean cuisine is usually really tasty (I was in South Korea two months ago)

Food was really delicious! I was very satisfied and highly recommended and would happily come back!

Yummy! Good selection of Korean dishes with the chicken as a specialty. The other pasta and rice dishes are also tasty, but could perhaps use a little more flavor here and there. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is rather functional.

It's so delicious. I want to come again next time.

Sat outside and enjoyed the authentic food. Great thing! I'll be back!

At first glance it seemed to me that this was not the place where I would like to eat, but it turned out that it was not so at all. Never judge a book by its cover. After making my order, I smoked, and before I had time to smoke a cigarette, order was already there. It was very quick and very tasty by the standards of the nearest establishments in central Stuttgart. The price was very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. I really liked it, I will definitely come back.

The kimchi was great, the jjajangmyeon was fine, the kimbap was actually pretty sad. Good service, the food arrived very quickly. They have a pretty wide selection, but the quality seems to be rather different across the different dishes. Overall, it's only okay.

Very delicious Korean food and nice service

I love Korean cuisine and was in Korea last year. This restaurant was able to give me a little bit of Korea back. The taste was very close to the original “recipes” from Korea. For me, the shop itself also had the feel of a small street restaurant in Seoul. I think I'll eat here more often when I'm in town. Prices are “normal”. It could just be that you have to queue if you want to sit outside.

I advise against it! No or very bad service! At the entrance you are greeted by several garbage containers and it takes at least 15 minutes for service to arrive. I've probably been to Korea 50 times but that's far from authentic! The staff also adapted to hygiene and spoiled my appetite. Sorry, but this could be much better!

Very tasty and in my opinion authentic Korean food

Eating on a hot and humid summer day is a desperate experience. The food tastes good, but the humid environment doesn't whet my appetite.

We ordered a BBQ set, kimbap, and Korean fried chicken to share with 3 people. It was more than enough and also very tasty 😋

Very delicious. I got a small take-out portion of fried chicken with spicy house sauce. I wish I had bought a bigger portion. Yummy!

Very small, quickly overcrowded, reservation was not possible because no one was available on the phone. The food is good, but one dish we ordered was completely forgotten.

The best Korean food outside of Korea. The cook is Korean and cooks authentically. 감사합니다!!!

The opening times were wrong and then they weren't even open. I went to Stuttgart completely for free

I ordered a bowl for lunch today. Like all other dishes, very tasty! I'd love to come back!

Pork belly looks and tastes like it’s old. Kimbap should be delicious, but don't expect it. The taste is not good compared to the price.

The food is very tasty and the portion size is nice and tidy. Everything went very well, I'd love to come back :)

There were four of us there and we had a form to fill out. Ordered 1 hotpot and 1 Korean BBQ with various starters. The service, consisting of 2 very strange waiters, was underground and chaotic. We didn't think anything of it when the hotpot didn't come and ordered 2 measly rice bowls to eat with the others and bridge the waiting time. At some point we asked, they forgot the hotpot. The food itself was quite okay. Payment only in cash or Paypal! Regarding the ambience: very small and stuffy. Respect to the 2 chefs who can prepare things in such a small kitchenette!! Reachability by telephone: difficult! We tried calling the whole time, but no one answered. The two waiters were extremely overwhelmed and could hardly speak any German.

Stopped by here because of various Insta Stories. Korean BBQ and the hotpot were very good. Beer from Korea was great. Sure, the atmosphere takes some getting used to and you have to like being side by side with strangers. Definitely the spot for Korean BBQ

Wow!! Feels so nice to go to this place

Not so korean food. Food taste is far from korean authentic standard. Beef and pork very tough to chew. Fried chicken looks from a frozen kaarage pack.

The restaurant is great. The food here is super delicious. We ordered the Korean BBQ and it came super quickly. It's really fun that we grill ourselves. See you next time

Although the food looks good at first, it tastes very bad. We ordered fried chicken and the chicken smelled like spoiled meat. In fact, 3 hours after we ate there, we started having severe stomach pains. The plate, spoon and chopsticks also looked dirty and we had to call the service to bring us the plate, otherwise there was nothing to eat. The price is also very high compared to other Korean restaurants nearby. Overall very poor quality and service!

Amazing dinner, food was impeccable. The ice cream was very nice.

We tried our way through the map a little. We especially wanted to try the appetizers and the corn dog. The food ranges between yeah good and very tasty. It wasn't disappointing at all. On the contrary. I recommend anyone who likes Korean food to try this place. But the food didn't blow me away for a 5 star rating. The space in front of the store is currently being renovated, so there is now a construction site on site.

The food tasted good, but the chicken was a bit dry. I wanted to order a small bottle of mineral water and was given hot water in a glass. Well, it happens, but it's still worth a visit.

Don't go here. I ordered soft tofu and, not going to lie, it tasted like seafood mixed in tteokbokki soup… Soft tofu wasn’t even included in the first place… The owner of this place is not Korean.

As always, very tasty and very good value for money

Delicious meals! Always happy to come back.😋

We had a fantastic evening at Kimso Restaurant! Adam in service was extremely friendly and recommended some delicious dishes that tantalized our taste buds. The atmosphere was inviting and the food was simply exquisite. Many thanks to the entire Kimso team, especially Adam, for an unforgettable evening!

The Korean restaurant Kimso is a real culinary delight! Under Adam's expert guidance, the service was outstanding - friendly, attentive and always committed to making our stay unforgettable. But the real highlight was undoubtedly the food. Every bite was a taste experience in a class of its own. The diverse selection of traditional Korean dishes left nothing to be desired and delighted with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. An absolute must for lovers of Korean cuisine and for anyone looking for culinary highlights. We'll definitely be back!

Such a cozy place and the food is so good that i came here for the second time! definitely recommend!!

Corn dogs were very tasty😋 dumplings too, they were nice and crispy on the outside and hearty on the inside. That was definitely not the last time I ate here

10/10 - was very tasty and large portions! Come back :)

‎‏Very tasty. The food tasted great, came quickly and the service was friendly. ‎‏ I recommend the food is worth it!!! Yummy

bad last night. food is overpriced. Waiters were rude/mean, slapped the food on the table and left😂. But the food was delicious. There are definitely better Korean restaurants

Went there last night and it wasn't as expected. The waiters were unsympathetic/impolite (slapped the food on the table). But food was good. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it as there are definitely better restaurants.

I ate at this place yesterday and I can say that the staff are very rude and unfriendly. It was my first time eating there and after being treated like that you hardly want to eat there anymore. I don't recommend it.

Just avoid it as far as possible. It starts with the fact that the entire outdoor area smells acridly of urine. Then there is a queue outside where you queue - but at the end you are not allowed to order, instead you are given a pen and paper, write down what you want to eat and then you have to wait at the table, supposedly a service person is coming to " “To take the order” (i.e. pick up the slip). There is a menu outside, so you have to wait until all the customers in front of you know what they want. After 45 minutes and our order still hadn't been taken, we left in exasperation. The fact that there is no card payment was just the icing on the cake.

Good food, good price, nice view. Definitely come back!

Best Korean I have ever eaten 🍜 Service was very sweet

The food is affordable and good for the price. I ordered Bulgogi Bibimbap and Reis Lemonade, they taste so good! They served food faster. The only problem is the place is so small for dining, it will be crowded inside. But the food is great!!! Will come again next time!

One chicken was raw. When I said this to the waitress, she accepted it without saying a word. No replacement or the question of whether you want something else. At the end the lady said that only one was raw and insisted on the full price without apology or any other gesture. The other food was also very, very far from Mando. Therefore only one star. Overall it is also very cramped, crowded and loud. However, all the guests around us were extremely friendly 👍that was the only positive thing. I definitely advise against a visit.

In my opinion, a really tasty and authentic Korean restaurant! The prices are perfectly fine for Stuttgart conditions and the location. The food tasted great, came quickly and the service was friendly ;) I would be happy to come again!

Uncomplicated service because you simply write down the numbers yourself. Food was at the table very quickly! Tastes convincingly authentic. I had kfc and bibimpap, both tasty. Traveling without a car is recommended because there are few parking spaces and the parking garage is expensive (3.90/h)

Slightly better than Mandu. At least the bibimbap is correct and authentic. But where are my free vegetables with my meals??? Are you sure you're Korean? So make a restaurant according to Korean rules, and not according to European ones. Well, not all menu items are available; there has been no rice drink for about a month. Oh, and only the cache.

Korean fried chicken and Dimsums are extremely disappointing. Kimchi is okay.

Unfortunately the food is not good, the gyoza were really tasty, but the chicken and our main dishes were unfortunately not tasty, at least you would expect something good for the price. We actually went there because of the good Google rating, but unfortunately we were disappointed.

I'm always full and full when I eat there :) Friendly staff and nice decor! Thanks!

Very nice shop and top service! The food was very tasty and we recommend the Korean BBQ + Korean Corndog. Thank you for the lovely atmosphere this evening, we'll be back :)

Very nice place! The chicken was fantastic. Really nice people and good music (Taylor Swift)!

Delicious Korean BBQ in the heart of Str at a low price! We recommend. The place is inconspicuous, the food is very good. Big portion

Unfortunately not very customer friendly. We called twice to make a reservation for 6 people and were told that we could come without any problems and that “there isn't much going on on Mondays anyway”. When we arrived we didn't know anything and the waitress just smiled and said everything was full and it wasn't possible for 6 people anyway. The gentleman behind the counter (possibly the boss) was nicer and told us to wait 20-30 minutes, but you can't guarantee it. The store may only be suitable for spontaneous visits; reservations do not appear to be noted. I would therefore not recommend the store for groups of more than 2 people.

The food at Kim So was extremely authentic and the offerings were very diverse. I was satisfied and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, on my last two visits I was not recognized as a customer, which resulted in me having to leave the restaurant. On the first visit our order wasn't taken, and on the second visit I was simply ignored, which meant I couldn't get a table. This was disappointing as I really like the food at Kim So. However, I am aware that the staff work under stress.

Food very good and authentic, Service average, Ambiente also average. Caution: no card payment possible. In 2024 more or less unacceptable 😒.

The food was incredibly tasty, the service was almost instant. All in all just awesome. Everything was a bit on the pricey side though, but overall we are very satisfied. The one thing we didn't like was the amount of noise, particularly from a small child behind us. That's not the fault of the restaurant though, just something to be aware of.

I am a regular customer at this charming Korean restaurant and every time I am simply amazed. The ambience may be simple, but it exudes an unmistakable charm as soon as you open the door and are greeted by the tempting scents and warm atmosphere. The atmosphere reminds me of the cozy places in Korea and the food is simply amazing! The gimbab in particular is an absolute highlight. The quality is consistently excellent, whether you eat in or order takeaway. Absolutely recommended for all Korean food lovers!

so awful... as a Korean, I felt so shame... never go. Boss, if you're going to make Jajangmyeon that way, take it off the menu.

The Korean BBQ was very disappointing and not really authentic either. We chose to share the pork belly and lettuce. Lettuce was cut in super small pieces, the pork belly came half frozen and the other half wasn’t. The meat had no flavor and they don’t provide you with much other than salt and pepper. It also came with a side of dry rice. The place is very small and there’s barely any place on your table when ordering the fire pot or BBQ.
