The Kimchi Project - New Zealand

I love this restaurant! Their waffle fries are absolutely delicious, as well as their bao buns. I will definitely be returning.

For drinks, we ordered Flirty Flamingo x 2, which was a big disappointment as it was served in a Champagne glass, something I had never seen before. The taste was average, so I would give it a 2 out of 5. Moving on to the mains, we had pork belly bao and chicken bao, both of which tasted good but could have used more sauce inside, so I would rate them a 4.5 out of 5. We also ordered Two ways Korean chicken, which was beautifully done and came with a small portion of sides on the same serving tray. However, there was no sauce, so we had to ask for it. I would rate this dish a 4.5 out of 5. We also tried the Yuzu breeze cocktails, which had a different glass option and tasted better than expected, so I would rate them a 4 out of 5. Overall, I would give the ambience a 4.5 out of 5 (courtyard area), the food a 4.5 out of 5, the drinks a 2.5 out of 5, and the service a 4.2 out of 5. I would go again, but probably stick to beer instead of cocktails. Cheers!

The restaurant has fantastic decor, service, and atmosphere. The chicken dish was average, but the restaurant attracts a trendy, young crowd. The noodles used to be delicious, but the menu has been altered. I would recommend coming here for the coffee and ambiance to catch up with friends, as the decor is impressive. However, the food is more of a fusion style and not very authentic.

We ordered the soft shell crab bun, one was for my 5yr old daughter, so I asked them to serve all the other stuff on the side. My daughter loved her crab bun! My husband and I shared the other one and we loved it too, it had a nice hint of spice but not overly spicy. I was lucky to be able to taste all the salsa, pickle and preserved lemon individually too.For our main, husband and I shared the two-way chicken and we loved it too. The grilled chicken was our favourite, it was tender, juicy, flavourful and not too spicy for our liking. The tempura chicken was nice too. However, we had never been a fan of sweet sauces, so maybe next time would ask them to serve the sauce on the side, so I could control the amount of sauce on my chicken. We ordered the kimchi sampler on the side, they were not the best but they were good enough for me to finish them all.Overall it was a nice family meal, we left happy with the food, ambience and service. We would definitely return to try other items from the menu.

Have been coming here since it opened and it never fails to disappoint. Their Korean fusion utilizes the best part of European and Korean cuisine. I mean, kimchi waffle fries?! Just wow. The little hidden area out back gives secret garden vibes and is more than insta worthy. Great for dates and catchups.
