One of my absolute go-to spots in Dublin when I’m craving proper tteokbokki or anything remotely comforting and Korean. Kimchi Hophouse has this low-key charm that makes it feel like a bit of a hidden gem, even though everyone who knows already adores it.
Their tteokbokki? 10/10. Spicy, chewy, addictive — basically everything you want after a long day or with a cold pint. And the KIMBAP is surprisingly lovely.
It’s the kind of place where I always end up ordering way too much and leaving blissfully full. Warm service, casual vibes, and food that hits every time. Can’t recommend it enough.

Kimchi Haus is a real gastronomic discovery! Every dish here is a work of art. The taste is so rich and harmonious that you want to try the entire menu in a row. Kimchi is the perfect balance of spiciness and fermentation, the broths are rich, the meat melts in your mouth. It is obvious that everything is prepared with love and respect for the traditions of Korean cuisine.
The service is top notch: friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and the feeling that you are a guest in a warm Korean home.
I highly recommend Kimchi Haus to everyone who appreciates real quality and taste. I will definitely come back here!

We were there for dinner yesterday. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. The portions were generous.
One of the young employees initially greeted us very rudely and snippily, telling us to wait by the door. No greeting, nothing. She seemed unmotivated and cold throughout the entire evening. It's a real shame, because the restaurant actually has a lovely ambiance. The young man who served us, a Korean, on the other hand, was very friendly and accommodating.

Great spot with delicious food and they even offer vegan options. The guys working there are super friendly as well. It would be a 5 star experience if it wasn’t for the young lady serving there. Her unfriendliness marred the experience. The place is otherwise highly recommended.
Very interesting unusual bar Korean food Korean and Irish staff food is good services fast most of the bar staff are friendly this a place for every type of soul when it's busy so great atmosphere best times to visit 5 to 11:00 p.m the heart of the place is the beer garden and the sushi is great to pop by and I look
Wow, had lunch here today and it was amazing, their food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. I was with a group of people and seeing the other dishes they ordered I can't wait to go back and try something else from their menu. Fab.

I happened to visit this place while traveling in Dublin because it was close to my accommodation, but the food was really delicious and the staff was friendly, so I visited it again! There are a variety of snacks and meals, it's easy to catch the tram, and the location is great : ) I ate soft tofu stew, sweet and sour chicken, and stir-fried pork, but I recommend the soft tofu stew!!

This is a great restaurant. The owner is kind. The food is also very good.
Location: Very good transportation accessibility: tram - Red Line stop is right in front of the store entrance. Even if you are a little drunk, you can go by tram right away, and there are many accommodations nearby, so I recommend you to visit if you are staying nearby.
Food: I personally recommend stir-fried pork and soft tofu stew. If you want to have a glass of beer, I recommend fried chicken. However, please note that it is not spicy. If you are Korean, you may want to ask the owner to make the stir-fried pork and soft tofu stew a little spicier. I personally like it a little spicier, so if you are Korean, it would be good to keep that in mind.
Atmosphere: You can enjoy a meal and beer together. The pub-like space and the space where you can enjoy your meal are slightly separated, which was nice. I recommend visiting.
By the way, I don't know if you can leave this, but air rice ㅋㅋㅋ ^^ In the case of air rice, the owner will give you more if it is not enough. The rice is black rice and they give you enough.
I was so busy eating that I don't have any pictures. ㅠㅠ
