Kim's So Korean Food in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

The food was delicious especially the kimbap and sweet & spicy chicken.

It was so delicious! So fast service! Nothing to complain. Just be safe side make reservations, because always so crowded 😊

Good food. We ate bibimbap and soy garlic chicken, and it tastes really good.

Delicious food that is prepared quickly. Also good service with friendly staff. It is pleasant to sit, but the tables are close together.

Because it tends to be crowded, we recommend making a reservation in advance. Even if you make a reservation, you can wait for about 10 minutes. There was a Korean staff member, so I was able to place my order comfortably. The taste of the food and the service were both excellent, and the male staff in particular was very friendly, making it one of the most memorable restaurants I visited in the Netherlands. 🥹 Even though it seemed really busy as it was a time when there were a lot of customers, the customer service was really good, checking from time to time to see if the food was okay and if we needed anything else. I really appreciated the service. I was really sick with a cold that day, but the restaurant's excellent Korean food and the staff's warm and attentive service made me feel better haha. Thanks to you, I had a pleasant meal. May you prosper!

If you are a Korean traveling to Amsterdam, Netherlands and are craving kimchi stew, go here. You can fill your stomach with all the kimchi ingredients needed for European food >.<

Very nice place in the center, friendly staff who help you understand the dishes... very good delicious food. For spicy lovers the place is the right one. You have to book first on Google because they are always full for on-site orders via QR but it's very simple they help you. We ate well and will go back

The restaurant was super busy when I turned up and the wonderful waitress managed to squeeze me in half an hour later. She was so kind, especially as I was eating by myself. I had the vegetable bibimbap and it was super tasty. All the other staff were also lovely. Highly recommend!

First time trying Korean food and I have to say this was the best thing I ate in a long time.. Fresh ingredients incredible taste

Delicious Korean food and lovely staff ☺️

The food was delicious and the staff was great!

The waiters were really kind and attentive. We didn’t have a reservation but were able to walk in because someone had double booked themselves. The honey garlic KFC, seafood pancake and bibimbap were delicious! I live in the area and will definitely come back to try more in the future.

Nice and cozy place 🥰perfect for a winter night

Food was a bit disappointing tbh, the description said that there would be veggies in my ramen, and it ended up being just broth, noodles and egg. But the staff was very friendly and helpful so bonus points for that

The food was extremely good, just like what I was used to from South Korea. The restaurant is very cute and clean and the staff is also very friendly.

We arrived at the restaurant on a bustling Saturday evening, and I must recommend booking a reservation beforehand. Now, about the food—it was absolutely delicious! 🤤 I thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken(honey mustard) it was simply unmatched🤤One of my friends, who is vegetarian, opted for rice cakes and vegetarian bibimbap, which she loved. Meanwhile, I savored the ramen…it was exceptional, bursting with flavors😋We also tried the rice wine, which was incredibly tasty, and ended the meal with some comforting hot tea.😍

A very good address! The dishes are good and must be ordered from the phone. Be careful, the bimbimbap is quite spicy, but tasty.

Beautiful, centrally located restaurant and spectacular food. For two we ordered gyozas, fried rice with pork and soi and garlic chicken; All very delicious and the perfect amount. I will return

The staff at this Korean restaurant are both professional and friendly. They made me feel welcome and provided attentive service throughout my visit. Highly recommend for great food and excellent service!

Really good food and amazing service! Will come back again for sure!

Better come in summer, winter time they remove 50% from their menu.

Truly the best spicy Korean chicken I have ever eaten

I can't remember when I had dumplings this good! Freshly made while you are waiting. Just delicious! I went for a second round,

Cute restaurant. Very kind staff. However, due to lack of space, this restaurant cannot accommodate a very large number of people. We were passing through and still managed to eat in 1 hour (at the request of the manager). Which I completely understand. Nothing negative to say about the cuisine, the dishes were tasty, served hot 🔥. fast service. the servers smiling. The negative point is that we felt obliged to leave to make way. In any case, this will not prevent us from coming back and this time we will remember to book ☀️

This is a Korean restaurant I visited during my trip to the Netherlands. It's so delicious If you want to eat Korean food, visit here haha

Great food and the quality of the food is amazin.😋🥰

The best! I highly recommend this one! The staff were so friendly and polite.

Cozy and delicious! Nice sized portions, the staff is quite friendly. Try to reserve in advance as it can be packed sometimes.

Lovely staff, delicious food and amazing soju. A must visit!

The food is so delicious and the owner is so kind and nice!! If you come to Arms, be sure to visit~~ Soft tofu is highly recommended!

It was a memorable Korean restaurant in Amsterdam, the last stop of my trip to Europe! It's not because it's Europe, but it was really delicious! I highly recommend the kimchi stew and seasoned chicken ^^ The staff were friendly and I had a pleasant meal👍

We were a group of four and we had a very pleasant mishap free launch at the restaurant and I suggest you to try their tasty launch menu if you are in the town. Reservation is a must for busy hours, but if they have separate table the will accept you. The person in charge was very efficient, respectful and engaging. I think it’s safe to say he can make your meal more spicy if you want ;)

The fried chicken is super delicious! Thank you to the very nice Taiwanese shop assistant❤️

The reviews really are accurate - the food is delicious, the staff are super friendly, and the experience is really great! 👌 Highly recommended

Excellent experience. We had the Beef Bulgogi Jeongol, Korean BBQ, excellent. Ordered via QR code, online. Fast and very friendly service. We ordered two bbqs and the waitress told us that one portion was more than enough for two people. Address to recommend.

Service: I found it a shame that we were immediately informed that we only had 1 hour. However, we got a table for 2 people without making a reservation. Unfortunately our food didn't arrive at the same time. Only when one was almost finished did the second dish arrive. You can pay both in cash and by card. Eat: Nicely prepared. The food was excellent, tip-Spiceygrad 1 is already quite spicy. On our next visit to Amsterdam, we will go again. Ambience: You come into an anteroom where you can take a seat, from there you go downstairs where you find 12 seats at 6 tables or you go up one floor where there are even larger tables with more chairs.

I went in October 2024 for lunch for my birthday, best decision I ever made! The food is delicious and the service is amazing! Please go visit this place, you will never regret it.

I didn’t have a reservation, so the wait was a bit long, but it was worth it. The food is delicious. It is the best Korean food I have eaten abroad so far. The waiter is also very friendly. When I left my seat to look for the toilet, the waiter took the initiative to ask.

The food was great, but the restaurant had very tight seating and was very loud in the evenings and it was hard to get through. You order via cell phone and QR code and the team then brings the food and drinks to the table. If you can't eat spicy food, you have little choice here. Spicy Level 1 has a lot of punch, even if you like it spicy. The fried chicken is a must and super delicious!!! Be sure to make a reservation in the evening, even with a reservation we had to wait outside for almost 10 minutes.

The atmosphere is great and the reception staff are very energetic This is the best Korean food I have ever eaten in Europe

The food is delicious. I recommend the Korean fried chicken and bibimbap. The service attitude is also very friendly. It is next to the red light district and the transportation is very convenient!

It’s exactly the same as the one I had in Korea. Highly recommended! ! !

Out of this world food. Small place with tables very close to each other. Did not matter because the food made up for it

The authenticity of the dishes truly transported me to Korea.

Amazing food taste. They have halal chicken and beef. And we have order sweet and spicy chicken, honey mustard chicken and two beef dishes. We loved the taste of food and authentic korean food.

Incredible experience. We found this place by chance and we were delighted, the quality-price ratio is very good. The waiters were very attentive and friendly, although the last time we went we had to order starters because they didn't give us any, in addition to notifying us to help us with the preparation of the dish. I also don't see it as wise to charge 1 euro per glass of water. The place is quite small and there are too many people, with some tables too close to the bathroom (some customers have to brush past you to access it, and it can be uncomfortable). Those are the only negative points. Dishes are ordered through a QR, which greatly speeds up the process. They are efficient, fast, speak great English and have wonderful customer service. With one of the large pots you will be full if you are 2 people, with great flavor and quality ingredients. They can even tone down the spiciness if you request it. It is a busy place so it is necessary to reserve in advance. They are punctual with the time, so try not to go over the estimated time spent at your table. In summary, I see it as an excellent site but with some points to improve. I have been very happy in general terms, I would return without a doubt.

We went for lunch and it was a mistake. The beef ramen was alright, it tasted good but it was nothing special. The Kimchi Jjigae was too salty, but the worst part was the Jjajang Myeon. It was really bland, tasted literally like noodles mixed with water. The chicken was good and friendly servers though.

The bibimbab was really not bibimbab like. The rice was like porridge, there’s corn inside and the gochujang sauce is too runny and doesn’t taste like anything. The kimchi stew is way too sweet, the only redeeming factor was the tofu and kimchi which were fine. The broth is just MSG and sugar, and some more sugar. Not authentic at all !!

I can only describe this place with one word. ✨WONDERFUL ✨ the people, the food, everything was AMAZING🤩 Love, love, LOVE! ❤️

Allergy awareness - 1/5 Restaurant concept 2/5 Physical service 5/5 Food (veg + gluten free) 2/5 I called 2 times before to confirm they had gluten free options - i was told there were several, not to worry. Turns out they only had 2 vegetarian options, if one ingredient would be removed. A soup, rice rolls and bibimbap without sauce. None of them were very good. Probably better to say ’not really’ next someone asks. If you have to remove a key ingredient it probably wont taste great. And it didnt. Ordering from a QR code - not fantastic. No possibility to add allergy info on the order, and the waiter was never sure which dish was supposed to be the gluten free one (until the last dish). The head waiter was good and attentive though, he really tried his best. The rest if the company seemed to enjoy their food though, so don’t worry about this if u dont have any dietary issues… Would love to try the food again if you are avle to offer truly gluten free options…

The beef bibimbap was mediocre, and the fried rice cake was missed due to their system problem. I waited for 40 minutes but it was not served.

The food is generally good. I recommend the Kimbab and Sweet-Spicy chicken. The Jjangmyeon can be cooked better as the noodles feels overcooked. But I am not a Korean myself, so maybe this is the original texture of Jjangmyeon. Overall recommended!

I really liked this place! Good food, mood, and service. Definetely would go again

We went there as three people,Ordered two starters and one main for each one. One main is brought with other starter and Tteokbokki took long time to serve. And main was very simple instant noddle in my opinion. Except tteokbokki there wasn’t interesting dish. Service friendly but soo slow and there is time limit. After 1.5 hour later(we knew it but it wasn’t enough time under this circumstances) we have to leave.

I love the chicken garlic in here, also huge kimbap. So goood!

I ate very well! It was the first time I tasted Korean cuisine and honestly I don’t regret it! Remember to book because otherwise you risk waiting and be careful with your phones outside because there are prostitution windows, just so you don't have a problem! Otherwise go there with your eyes closed!

The staff are super enthusiastic and cute. Delicious food and cozy restaurant space. We will definitely come back

Chicken bibimbap was delicious 😋

Food was very tasty. The service was good but rushed. Several times she wanted to take our plate while we were still eating. At checkout the waitress charged a 10% tip without asking. This is not how it should be in the Netherlands.

Very disappointed with the bimbimbap, a spoonful of poor quality minced meat... when the meat only needs to be sliced ​​in and seasoned. The meat and sauce in this dish are very important. The service is however fast! And the atmosphere, we like it or not! But it's super noisy.

all good but it's Chinese giganag noodles

It was a blissful experience, with delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere. All this was made possible by attentive employees. We were received in a friendly manner, despite the fact that we had not made a reservation. A table (with limited time of 1.5 hours) was arranged, so great! All dishes were amazing, but I want to highlight the chicken with a special garlic sweet sauce and their homemade kimchi. Thank you for the pleasant experience and hope to see you soon!

Amazing fried chicken and a great choice of Korean soda!

Been here twice now, both times for a birthday meal. So tasty and staff amazing very helpful and friendly

Had dinner here, and it was very nice. Very fast service, and very nice food

Really enjoyed the shared beef korean bbq. Attentive and quick service. Good prices.

The meals are very authentic! The service is also very friendly

I didn’t expect there to be a Taiwanese store clerk! ☺️The service is super friendly and fluent in English. Highly recommended! ! !

I live the chicken and tobukki & noodles in this restaurant. Very tasty and delicious. Same in Korea . I come often every 3 weeks . My favorite one. Thank you.

Amazing food and the Korean chicken was delicious!

The food was just amazing. Plus the crazy hot chicken was actually crazy hot, had to pair it with rice 😅

The food was delicious, we tried the crazy spicy chicken. It is meant for the daring foodies, it was mouth watering. The staff is very warm and welcoming! Would definitely recommend.

We sat next to the toilet, the first thing they said was that we had one hour and an half to eat and they were disorganised. Food was not anything special, the seafood in the ramen was frozen and chewy and the chicken wasn’t crunchy and tasty. In generale an experience that I would never repeat.

Super friendly service and great inexpensive food. Always my pleasure

Great tasty food Excellent fast and friendly service

We had beef Bulgog BBQ. Every ingredient felt very fresh, and delicious. I do wish for a bit more flavor though. Kimchi was splendid. Great staff

Favorite spot in Amsterdam to eat Korean food. The environment inside is cozy and quite small. The staff is very caring and welcoming. As for the food, absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared!

Jinro, rice, hotpot, and kimchi just 👍🏻

This is the second time I go, and the food is absolutely delicious. Best fried chicken I’ve had in Amsterdam. The staff is super friendly and kind. I highly recommend it.

The taste has changed but it's still delicious

Kim's So is a really nice Korean Food restaurant. The staff is super friendly and willing to give you advice on what to order. Ordering what you want is really simple, on each table there is a plate with the table number written on it and a QR code to scan. From here you will find yourself directly in the restaurant menu and from there you can add your products to the cart and order them. The order will arrive directly in the kitchen and the minimum preparation time for the dishes will be specified. Initially our waiting time after ordering was around 20 minutes but then surprisingly many of the things started arriving earlier. As for the food, everything is really delicious, in particular what we appreciated the most are: The Korean Ramen, the ravioli, the sweet and spicy fried chicken (a flavor to be understood and appreciated) and finally a dish that cannot be missed I remember the name it contained inside, meat, mushrooms, noodles etc. Really everything of excellent quality and very exquisite. There is the possibility of booking a table via google maps. Excellent experience, I would happily return.

the food is amazing and the portions are big... they always answers your questions with a smile and very kindly

Great place! The fried chicken is dope and the value for money is pretty good.

Fantastic service with great food!

The place was really crowded and a bit cramped. The food was in my opinion, oke. Nothing special. The sauce on the chicken was quite liquid. Its supposed to be yoghurt sauce, should be more thick. And there is not much seafood in the pancake. Flavor wise it was all okay. Bingsu was quite small as well.

loved it! rlly yummy and nice staff:)

A really nice place! Nice food and to enjoy Amsterdam!!!!!

Came back today for the sweet and spicy chicken it’s always such a good choice and the beef bbq was yummy as well. The staff is really nice and makes sure you have everything you need. The restaurant is also halal and they cook the meat separately from the non halal dishes. Overall I do recommend.

I recently discovered Korean cuisine, and I must say that I like it. So I made the choice to go to this restaurant. The location is in a special location. The location may be unpleasant for some visitors, as it is located in the middle of the Red Light District. The food itself is very tasty; I really enjoyed the spicy chicken. I also had dessert, as shown in the photo. However, this dessert didn't taste like anything, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it. The staff are very helpful. Most chicken dishes are halal

This restaurant offers some delicious food. However, my dining experience was negatively impacted by the overattentive service. Our waitress seemed eager to clear our plates, returning to the table every minute, which created a sense of being rushed and pressured to eat quickly. Additionally, the restaurant felt overcrowded. The limited space made for a somewhat uncomfortable and cramped atmosphere.

It was fun girls night out… we had good food .. only drink 5 glasses of water nearly 1 liter after come back home , maybe it was a bit saltier than normal daily food I use to… during dinner I had 2 soft drinks… tastes all good 👍🏼 location is very easy to find …

Been here for the forth time, food is always amazing. I like the beef bulgogi, friend chicken and bibimbap

Super friendly staff and even better food! Also great value for your money considering it’s an Amsterdam restaurant. Will definitely come back to treat myself to some Korean food🤩

The food was delicious and the staff was very nice 10/10

Just a bit small and not the best location but amazing food

After a nice stroll in the city, a detour to this restaurant seems essential! The dishes are all delicious, the prices reasonable and the servers are great! We tried both lunch and dinner to discover the restaurant in all its facets. A real pleasure, don’t hesitate.

The waiting outside for a spot was worth it! Delicious food and fantastic service! 👌

Great service and delicious food

Great place to eat delicious Korean food! It was amazing!

Dinner was delicious, the staff were super friendly and helpful cooking the food for us.
