“Had such a lovely dining experience at Kimchi Dining in Orchard Central! 🇰🇷✨ This is definitely not your typical Korean restaurant — the setting is modern, cosy and beautifully decorated, with a lovely floral-inspired ambience and views overlooking Orchard. It’s a great spot for a date, catch-up with friends, or a special occasion. The food was beautifully presented and packed with interesting Korean flavours. I especially enjoyed the Makgeolli Bread with charcoal butter — soft, slightly chewy and fragrant, with a subtle makgeolli flavour that made it really unique. The Gamjajeon was another highlight, crispy on the outside and savoury with a delicious truffle mayo. The Pork Jowl SSAM was tender and flavourful, while the Jeju Pork Noodle came with a rich, comforting pork broth and tender pork belly. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, balancing traditional Korean flavours with a more modern presentation. And don’t skip dessert! 🍫 The Truffle Dark Chocolate Tart was incredibly rich and indulgent — definitely one of my favourite ways to end the meal. Service was warm, attentive and professional throughout, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a beautiful modern Korean dining experience in the heart of Orchard. Definitely one to consider when you’re looking for something a little more elevated than the usual Korean fare. 🇰🇷❤️”

“Had an amazing meal at Kimchi Dining! Everything we tried was really well done, but the standouts for me were definitely the pork jowl, the makgeolli flight, the makgeolli bread, and the gamjajeon — all were so good and memorable. The pork jowl was especially delicious, with a great texture and flavour, and the makgeolli flight was such a fun way to try different varieties. The makgeolli bun was also a pleasant surprise and something I’d definitely come back for. A special shoutout to our main server, Jaie, and Kris, who were both fantastic throughout the meal. They were attentive, polite, helpful, and made the whole dining experience feel really warm and enjoyable. Great food, lovely presentation, and excellent service. Would definitely recommend Kimchi Dining and I’ll be back again!”

“Ordered a set for 2, consists of the menu below: Makgeoli Kimchi Platter Jeju Pork Noodle Gamjajeon Pork Jowl Everything was impeccable, nothing to pick on. Portion was just right for two. Kimchi Platter was fresh and crunchy. Makgeoli with the Charcoal butter... We added one more set of this for takeaway for the kids after we tasted it. Makgeoli was chewy and soft, charcoal butter was not over oily and is very fragrant. Jeju Pork Noodle soup... I finished the soup. Noodle was smooth and has slight 'chewiness'. Pork pieces consist mostly of meat rather than fats in some other restaurants. Pork Jowl has the light BBQ taste. 10/10 will come back again, and maybe bring the kids along! 😃 Service was a 10/10, all staff were extremely attentive to your needs, polite even when asking for permission to keep the finished food dishes. Cleaned the table before our desserts were served. Dessert was black sesame ice cream with Injeolmi and Chocolate Injeolmi tart were not too sweet and yet flavourful. Drinks we ordered were Berries soda with Yuja sorbet and cold Jeju Tangerine Peel. Sourness and sweetness were just right 👍🏻 Jeju Tangerine Peel tea has a mild fragrance and is light 👍🏻 Thank you for the awesome lunch for our Anniversary! 😊 We enjoyed the food very much”
