KIMCHI PLANET Newcastle Uni in Newcastle upon Tyne

I ordered two portions and only got one. The rice tastes like overnight rice and the meat is very salty. Last time I ordered one, the shopkeeper returned the order and didn't answer it, so I suggest you don't eat it. They don't answer the phone.

Beautiful food and served quickly

The owner may be Korean, but the food lacks authenticity and is overpriced.

Clean and tidy restaurant, delicious food, good value for money, no seating.

The food sets off fireworks on your tongue & writes symphonies upon your soul. Big portions, low prices, wonderful atmosphere. 6 stars.

Good, cheap and authentic Korean street food. No other place like it for Korean food in Newcastle

Had the Rice bowls and dumplings. lovely food.

Love this place. Vibes. Differently recommend BBQ Kimbap and rice kimchi with pork

I really love the food and had visited a couple of times. However, today the place was busier than usual and delivery drivers kept coming in. The staff got overwhelmed and start swearing the f word all around the place which makes the eating experience quite bad. But I'm still giving 5 stars and visiting again in the future as the foods are really nice.

Great food, a really calm and chill atmosphere with good service. Definitely a place to stop by and give a try.

Tasty Korean food with a good price for the portion. Always good quality since the place opened, definitely recommend.

Drove 50 miles to see it was closed when it was saying thay it was opened

If you have cravings for Korean food please do visit kimchi planet. The food here was the best in the town. Reasonable prices and peaceful ambiance.

Exceptional service, very friendly staff, and absolutely delicious food! Great vegan options!

Really nice, tasty food. They do a lot of vegan food as well as meat dishes which is great!

Kimchi planet has the most delicious, flavorful, and amazing authentic Korean street food. I’m so happy to have found this gem and will definitely be coming back. Also, Deliveroo messed up my order and the first driver took the food from the restaurant and never delivered it, but they were so diligent and followed up with me and deliveroo to make sure that I got my food and it was really sweet.

Just found this place and love it already.the food is amazing, the staff are friendly and the place look unique i would recommend the kimchi fried rice

There are 4 types of female part-time workers Food comes out really slow It's just a Korean restaurant where British people eat. I hate Koreans

Friendly place. Lovely food. Lovely staff. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

A place you have to visit! I visit this place a lot and it's always a great experience. Big portions, low prices, nice staff, and delicious healthy food. Highly recommending

The vegan rice boxes are amazing 👍🏻

Great food..Should have been here long before last night. Delicious food. Would recommend Eat local

Unexpected. Delicious Korean food in newcastle

Had high expectations from this place and was expecting delicious and simple home made food. The food was ok but it tasted a bit bland. I could not taste sezame oil in the dishes and its a basic in Korean cooking. Also kimchi was not properly fermented.

Very nice food. Highly recommended 👍👍🍲🍲

So glad I found this hidden gem... absolutely lush food. Highly recommend. So tasty and fresh with vegan options.

Absolutely love it here, so reasonably priced and amazing vegan options.

Always lovely food when I come here 💞

I'm just really not sure about the hype of this place? I tried...I really tried to like this place but after giving it a try for the 5th time now (always trying different dishes with the hope I'll like the new ones), also even supporting them during the pandemic with buying kimchi from them, I can now safely say it is not for me. I love Korean food and had Korean many times that were outstanding compared to these dishes. The kimchi is very overfermented for my liking and the dishes are overall just average. Have to admit, if you are vegan then this place has good options for you. Also the staff nice. Overall, not a bad place but not the best either.

Super deliiiccious food. V reasonably priced. Lovely staff! Will be returning. Best Korean in Newcastle! Thank you :)

Delicious and authentic South Korean food. It was delicious and really reminded me of my travels in South Korea. I didn't like the Kimchi pancake but the vegan main dishes were delicious and the fake beef was so convincing!

Nicest sushi and rice bowls in Newcastle

Fantastic joint. Superb kimchi. Delicious and authentic streetfood. Highly recommended. Polite and friendly staff, looking forward to my next visit ❤️

Some of the best korean food in the area, highly recommend. Included a nice touch in on the bulgogi for Valentines! :)

Totally recommend this place, taste is great!

I love their food 😄 they have great vegan options

Delicious food in good portions at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and welcoming too.

Cute restaurant with nice atmosphere and a small selection of dishes, but what we tried was very nice. Kimchi was definitely more on the fresher than the more pickled/fermented side haha. We personally prefer it a bit stronger 😋 but it enjoyed it anyway. Beef bulgogi was yum! The food was served on polystyrene so sadly not so eco-friendly. Hopefully there will be actual plates and cutlery in the future 🌳🌿🌺🌍💫

Limited menu but the food on offer was fresh and well prepared. Reasonably priced, could have done with more meat in the dishes.

Fantastic place, food fresh make very quickly nice qualiti of ingredients. Order Rice bowl with chicken kimchi and sushi roll with Korean BBQ, delicious delicious delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I was waiting for my order 30 minutes and it's not acceptable. 6 people queue after me get served first until I complaint then they do my order. Staff NOT even say "sorry". I am unhappy with their services, really waste of time.

Tasty vegan beef rice bowl. They have sit in available, but not a lot of space. Chop sticks or knife and fork. Nice people behind the counter too.

Very friendly staff and very good prices, always smiling and the food is always soooo nice! Great place 🤩💜

Food is great - the kimchi is amazing! Small place so you might struggle to eat in but the whole menu is served takeout style. Worth a visit

Lovely food with great vegan options!

One of my favourite places to eat in Newcastle! Well priced, super tasty and never disappoints ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is absolutely fantastic if you want something different in Newcastle. My partner had m watching Korean videos during lockdown and she was overjoyed when she found out about this place. The food was beautiful and we would highly recommend the place. I am a bit of a typical man and like big portions, this place didn't disappoint and I left wobbling down the street to my car. This place is best got to by foot as parking is slim, we came in the late afternoon to avoid any rush and it was quiet but still no parking. We had a variety of choices across the menu and with the eat out to help out it was very very reasonable. To drink we had pear juice and the watermelon soda which was simply Divine, I think the best word to describe these is refreshing, and not like a can of coke type, this was unreal. We had some hottock for dessert which went down extremely well, kind of like an apple pie. Overall the experience was exactly as expected and if we wasn't moving away, we would both have been back.

Amazing food and amazing customer service!

Chicken was dry. The kimchi jeon was deep fried which is unique but I prefer it done the normal way, pan fried and the kimchi tastes a bit strange for my liking. The kimchi fried rice has more gochujjang than a usual kimchi fried rice but it wasn't bad. Overall, it's not a bad place but it's not somewhere I would go again. I like the decor and the staff are nice though.

Why have we wait so long to eat here! Vegan choices were absolutely incredible

This place has some of the Best Korean Food that I have had. Its a little quaint place that plays good music and really good food. I reccomend the Kimchi Fried Rice!

Took out a selection of the Kimbap.. WOW delicious.. Will be back.

Pork belly kimbap is so delicious. thank you :)

Delicious food for fair prices! I personally liked the sticky rice we received the first time better than the dryer/regular rice the second time. On big disadvantage: ventilation seems to be a problem as my (clean!) clothes smelled quite bad and greasy, and needed a wash right away.

The food is generally delicious and the price of the food is low. But the kimchi pancake tastes a little burnt

Are you sure this kimchi pancake restaurant can eat it? ? ? Are you still selling it after it’s become so messed up? ? ? Jajangmyeon is boiled instant noodles, and kimbap is salty and edible.

Very good prices and delicious food

Found this place via a friend's recommendation and its my favourite Korean food place!! The food is absolutely delicious and the price is reasonable and the portions are big. I often come here by myself at lunchtime with a takeaway order or with my girlfriend for a nice dinner 😊. The only criticism is that the restaurant doesn't have an on site restroom and the seating capacity is limited. Otherwise this place is amazing! I'd recommend that Rice Bowl dishes and the Spicy Kimchi Fried Rice Dishes as they fill you up for a very reasonable price, not to mention they are very tasty! Will always come here again 🙂

Little place, easy going, amazing food

Absolutely banging food. Thoughoughly enjoyed it.

It’s just so good! A wonderful Korean shop with a solid menu of kimbap, ramen, and fried rice, with options for the vegetarians too. The shop also occasionally has food specials on, in addition to having a small selection of imported gifts and snacks. Great spot for a cute lunch or a solid takeaway (kimchi fried rice takeaway pictured), but not the best for large groups (it’s not a huge shop).

Tried twice. First time good. 2nd time bad. Cold food, waited around for it and not worth the wait. Disappointed. Not sure about going back. Seen very poor response by owner. Didn't even address the fact that I ordered the same dish on two occasions, varying in quality. Busy or not busy, the food should not be lovely one time and so different the 2nd time. Also the 2nd time, a lovely topping was put on, not the second time. Gave the chance to put things right by texting the restaurant then the initial review. I was planning to bring a family of 7 people one day but poor customer complaint handling means forget it.

Found this place on Google search and with our new found love of Korean food we were not disappointed. Ordered the bulgogi beef rice bowl, veg pancakes, kimchi kimbap and hottoek honey pancakes for dessert. Food was prepared fresh so had a wait but all was delicious. Portion sizes are decent and prices very reasonable. Staff friendly and welcoming. Menu simple and what we ordered was ample for lunchtime. Only downfall for this place was the smokey atmosphere when cooking the food. But we will certainly be back another time.

The food is absolutely gorgeous, really filling so I recommend that you bring a few people. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere calming - 5/5 would eat there again

Small little cafe that is tucked out the way, but serves the most delicious well presented food. Not loads to choose from but just enough . I don't think anything is over the price if 6 quid. Mine and my daughters new favourite place.

What a brilliant, hidden gem! Visited here last night. A small but awesome menu of home-cooked delights, that’s so reasonably priced. Delicious, start to end. By far and away the best Korean food I’ve ever had - I will be back. 👏 👏 👏

Very nice customer service, good was great. Would go again!

I'm completely obsessed with kimchi pancakes now! They are amazing. Just go.

Although it's a small place, the food is more than great. Recommended for your starving time!

only been here twice. good prices and service but not sure why most of the dishes I had (kimchi fried rice and beef rice bowl) were much sweeter than it should be?

I came here to try the restaurant recommended by Sensi in Karate. Sensi described it very exaggeratedly, saying it was very, very delicious, the portions were plentiful, and the price was cheap. The price is not expensive, but the taste is average. The Kimchi fried rice was so salty that I couldn't finish it, and the beef sushi rice was a bit dry. The exhaust fan of their range hood probably wasn't powerful enough. Sitting in the store, I was surrounded by oil smoke and felt like I couldn't breathe. It's more suitable for students. Personally, I probably won't go there again.

This felt exactly the same as when I lived in Korea and went to a family run place. The food is definitely authentic, perhaps tweaked a little too suit English eating styles, but the flavours are perfect. I had a good chat with the Korean staff in Korean and just felt completely transported back to Seoul. I had the spicy chicken rice bowl(덮밥) and green tea (현미녹차), I also had the Korean kimchi pancakes (김치전) not pictured and it was perfect. The store inside the shop is kind of cute but no frills, just like Korea and the atmosphere is really relaxed. I'm quite literally going back.... On Monday because my husband is jealous he missed out. ^^ 정말 한식맛이다. 맛있어요. 영국에서 더맛있고 한국처럼 있는 정소 없을거같아요.

Great food we travel 40 miles to eat here.in fact we are coming tomorrow for my dad to try 😛😛😛

Very nice Korean restaurant. Informal and relaxed. Dishes are fast, freshly prepared and very tasty. Try a rice bowl with a side order of kimchi.

Delicious food, nice and cosy space

BEST PLACE FOR MILES THERE CAN BE NO OTEHR OPINIONS MEET ME 4 SCRAP IF U DISAGREE

Doesn't actually open at 11.30 on Saturday despite what it says on the site... or the shop window itself. Waited to be told they open at 12.

Good food, at an affordable price with good portions. This is my go to place now after a long day 😍

Really tasty food and affordable as well, I'll definitely be back

Best kimchi fried rice 👍🏻 Hope it becomes a regular menu item!

Tasty food, good portion sizes and value for money. I'll be back!

Really really good food and well priced too, so happy to have found this little place!

Fantastic food, bags of flavour and great value, friendly intimate venue with good service, the kimchi pancakes are amazing , i could of have ate them all night long.

Slightly of the beaten track. But fantastic. Everyone should try it

Tasty food cooked fresh, good portions :)

The menu isn't large, but what they do is excellent

Authentic and affordable.. Recommended!!

Great food, great customer service, my favourite lunch spot

Fantastic staff and the food is sublime. Very well priced.

Went here last weekend and it was great! Enjoyed the vegan beef rice bowl and the veggie dumplings I had. Nice little place and friendly staff! First time I had tried kimichi and was quite surpised at how nice it was! Will deff be back at some point!

Really delicious food. A total hidden gem!

Can't get enough of their Kimbap rolls! Thoroughly recommend this place. Keep an eye out for their specials as well. The Mandu made for Korean New Year were amazing!

The Kimbap is really authentic and it offer vegan /vegetarian option. Rice Bowl were relatively cheap and portion were decent, I ordered both spicy chicken and beef bulgogi rice bowl. The spicy chicken were very good and the favour is mixing well together. However, I think the beef bulgogi is little too salty for me and it would be better if they get a juicer cut of beef because bulgogi requires a longer cooking time.

Get friendly little place, smashing value and really nice food.

Lovely food, friendly staff and amazing music.

Delicious vegan Korean food. The lady serving us was friendly and we did not have to wait very long before we were served.

Amazing food, quite intimate and cosy

The kimchi kimbap and the fried dumplings were so delicious! Will definitely be back!!

Bought 7 meals off the menu 5 of which were vegan and am pleased to say I'll be going back as the food was very tasty with excellent service from the staff.. Thanks Kimchi ..

Amazing food served by super-friendly staff
