Good food with a long wait on new years eve, even after being told over the phone (15 min before arrival) no reservation was needed and tables are open.
— Chris James

usually don’t like leaving negative reviews, but my experience at Mr. Kimchi in Niles was just that bad.
— Bry T

Korean fried chicken IS NOT Korean fried chicken. Corn cheese is dry and has no flavor. Meat quality for beef was so bad.

Food and service were excellent. Food was out quick and staff was attentive and friendly. Spicy bulgogi was excellent and pricing was very reasonable. They gladly swapped out pans without being asked. Parking was fine. They have photo ops inside and a well stocked ramen bar if bbq isn't your thing. Will return!

Went to Mr. Kimchi for the first time with my family and had a great experience. Our server was Ko and she was very attentive to our needs and provided great service. Will come again.

“Probably the best kbbq I've been to so far.”

Probably the best kbbq I've been to so far. Food came out fast. Food was A++. Their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) side was so crunchy. Our server was very attentive and even the employee who changes the grill plate. Place was spacious. A lot of parking. Bathroom is clean and private.

“A much larger area and feels a more open space.”

A much larger area and feels a more open space. It feels like air moves around more freely making it less likely for you to smell after you leave the place haha. Service is great, vege are fresh, so is meat for cooking. Pan chams are on point.

“We stopped this restaurant for a try as it is brand opening and around the area.”

We stopped this restaurant for a try as it is brand opening and around the area. The restaurant is great with delicious foods and friendly staffs. The atmosphere there is good for people to eat, talk, and relax. There are many parking slots as it is in a mall, so customers do not need to worry about parking issue. In general, everything is great. But we just a bit worry about the floor as it seems slippery somehow when we walk. If you go with elder and kids, just make sure they walk slowly through. Give it a try when you are around the area

The food is always so amazing, and Josh was greeted. He suggested the soy marinated pork rib, which was super delicious!

The renovations have made this a beautiful, bright, open atmosphere for Korean BBQ, compared to the location's predecessor. The ease of ordering meats and side dishes make the flow of dining a smooth experience. I enjoy the beef brisket meat option, and the egg souffle, KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), and corn cheese side dishes. The panchan, while not as wide a variety as San Soo Gab San offers, the quality is still good. Also, you can partake in the "choose-your-own instant ramen bar" (as you may have seen on TikTok or Instagram), which as of this message seems to come included with any AYCE KBBQ option. Or go a la carte without AYCE for just $6. Personally I wouldn't waste room for AYCE on instant ramen, but coming here just for trying many instant ramen options seems an appealing idea.

“Came here excited to try this new location and I'm glad we did.”

Came here excited to try this new location and I'm glad we did! We put our names on the wait list as soon as we got in and only waited about 5 minutes. We gpt the premium menu that came with a free ramen which was so cool! I love the ramen station. We also got garlic pork belly, thin sliced pork belly, beef bulgogi, beef brisket and short ribs. All the meats were so good and very high quality. Bonchon is on point and out server Chan was very tentative to us and kept checking in on us. Overall a great place and I cant wait to come back!
