Love Kimchi in Liverpool

I had the most absurd vegan bibimbap ever. Just rice, lettuce and fake chicken nuggets. No mushrooms, no spinach, no kimchi, no cucumber, no anything. 12gbp, 0 love, completely scam. Edit: This is where Love Kimchi used to be at GPO but now is called Korean Bliss. Completely scam.

I haven't tried any Korean cuisine before. We tried their katsu curry and it was good. The quantity is fine for a person. I loved the pickled radish.

Was served by a lovely young and cheerful woman but the owners should not be using this name! There was no authentic kimchi- but PLENTY of the neurotoxin MSG! I’ve woken up with an allergic reaction. Lots of sugar in the sauces too- I won’t return. Please learn how to cook naturally before you kill a customer lol

Ordered the katsu curry donburi - unfortunately awful experience. Staff (especially the lady preparing the meal) were very unfriendly - felt very rushed even when it wasn't busy (order came within 5 mins which was thankfully speedy). Unfortunately food was bad - soggy clumpy rice, very dry chicken, hardly any curry (just lightly drizzled coating, nothing like what was described in the menu). Really such a shame as I've always enjoyed food from the Love Kimchi store on Smithdown road and regularly buy kimchi there. Please review the standards of your GPO branch (food and staff). Atmosphere at GPO itself was lively and friendly as usual. Thanks.

I've never had Korean food before, but this was really lovely and service was very fast too!

I just ate at Love Kimchi, and considering I've never tried Korean Chicken: I'm amazed. I got the Korean Fried Chicken and aside from the fact that the small option isn't small at all (which is good to me), the sauce is on another level. Very very good place❤️

Exceptional food we have korean fried chicken and chicken gypza so tasty fresh made to order beautiful and the lady that served us was so helpful and friendly 10/10 we will be back ❣️

Just tried the fried chicken. It was crispy plentiful and very delicious. Friendly guy cooking and serving. All cooked fresh to order.

Worst Korean fried chicken I’ve ever tried. Ridiculously dry for something deep fried. Poor quality meat and the sauce is atrocious. This wouldn’t survive anywhere else in the world.

It's now relocated to the GPO food market which made ordering via the app very easy. We got the veggie katsu chicken loaded fries to share with another meal. The fake meat tasted amazing and the portion size was very generous for £10.99 especially as it came with some gyoza on top!

waiting time okay well presented and lovely authentic food. student life, this place is worth the money.

The food here is absolutely glorious. I ordered the fried chicken bao buns with soy sauce and my gosh 🤤🤤 Definitely recommend eating here, I will 10/10 be back!

Ordered Kpop fries, it was very bad the chips were extremely undercooked and the sauce was way too salty and sweet and the chicken tasted of pure oil. Won’t be ordering again sadly a waste of £9.99

No words can describe how bad the food I had today was served chips had the k pop chips with chicken undercooked chips to the point that we just left

Great food & excellent service. A real korean cusine experience.

Food was quick, well presented and tasted absolutely amazing. GPO where is is based has a really nice relaxed atmosphere too. Highly recommend.

Amazing takeaway with lovely, lovely staff and delicious food. Cant get enough of their salt&pepper dishes and their pickled ginger. Their dumpling sharebox is also amazing! I'd definitely recommend them

Ordered online to pick up. Staff were super friendly when I arrived and food was ready and hot on time. The food was delicious and pretty good value for money. Great options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Definitely looking forward to returning.

Pretty disappointed with the experience after having high expectations from hearing about Love Kimchi and reading the reviews. So, seems to me either people who are giving higher reviews don't know what decent Korean food is, are drunk or I just caught them on a bad day. Apart from a couple of bits of tokenistic raddish and ginger I wouldn't know this was Korean food, criticisms being the rice was very stodgy and clumpy like it hadn't been rinsed properly (and please don't say it was Thai sticky rice - it was just carelessly made rice), the chicken was fried too many times, saturated in oil and tasteless and the chips were low quality. It's more like a late night takeaway version of Korean food, I couldn't recommend and certainly wouldn't go back. If it wasn't for the friendly staff and at least some authentic Korean products in the glass showcase, Love Kimchi would not scrape to 2*. Very disappointed.

Great Korean restaurant, it's like being in Korea :)

Great tasting food and customer service. Delivered the food to us themselves when there were no delivery drivers for the separate takeaway company we ordered through. Extremely satisfied overall!

We collected a meal for myself and my partner tonight - honestly, best meal we have had in ages! We chose Gangnam sauce korean vegan chicken bento boxes and it was 10/10.. such a treat but not expensive. We were full but kept going back to eat more! couldn't resist a pot of their kimchi to try which was the best we have had - so, so fresh. Can't wait to have it again ♥️

Ordered via Uber Eats and food was over an hour late and the driver and the owner were utterly rude over the phone. Appalling.

Decent Korean food in general, but the pink pickled ginger is absolutely sublime. Not too overpowering, with just a hint of sweetness to it, and that's what seperates 'okay' Korean food from superb Korean food; having that fruitty little palate cleanser to tantalize the tastebuds. Deffo ordering from here again!

Ordered around £13 of food, they do give bigger portions than I expected. Food was of significantly worse quality than the promotional pictures and what is served at the branch in Baltic Market. The Vegetarian fried 'chicken' had a basic sauce with no vegetables and the rice looked like it was dumped out of a tub and was somewhat dried out. The potato fries were saltier than the sea making them almost inedible. No toppings such as spring onions and herbs as seen in promotional pictures and Baltic Market, and only 2 pieces of pickled radish and a bit of ginger at the side. Go to 'Little Korea' in Baltic Market for a much better version than what is served here.

Came across this small Korean street food outlet... Little pricy but the food is incredible. Definitely worth the try though.

Incredible authentic Korean food. Highly recommended!

It’s always a pleasure enjoying the food from Love Kimchi, the food is always delicious, full of flavour and piping hot. Each time I order, I try something new and I’m never disappointed because everything is so tasty and there’s so much to try! My partner’s favourite is the Korean fried chicken with the Gangham sauce which is mouth-watering too. I recently picked up an order from the Smithdown Road takeaway after a long, tiring day and the staff were so lovely and vibrant it cheered me up instantly.

Amazing food and friendly helpful staff. Brilliant service everytime. The owner is lovely. Thank you!

My housemates and I have had orders from LoveKimchi countless times. We are hugely impressed with the quality of food and the range of vegan/vegetarian options. There is so much on the menu and always something new to try! The packaging is great keeping the food piping hot and delivery has always been under 30 minutes. The portion sizes are big, the food is delicious - so much better than the other takeaway places on Smithdown Rd. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Omg - what can I say? This is the best Korean Fried Chicken I’ve ever had. Please if you haven’t already give this place a go, it’s amazing!!!

LOVE this place, my absolute fave take away and it's amazing every time. Whenever I pick the food up in person the staff are always so lovely - bravo everyone! Also really great for vegan options too 👏

Nice experience, buying Korean Street food from Love Kimchi. The owner is a very personable guy who knows what he's talking about, because he's lived in Korean himself. The food 🍲 is fantastic, I bought the reasonably priced fried chicken with fries with gamnam sauce and it was delicious 😋

Fantastic vegan options, ordered a few times and food always arrives hot and within good time.

As a regular customer who loves the vegan fried chicken and veg dumplings, I was very very disappointed to have received real fried chicken and pork dumplings - only having found this out after having a bite. Also, as someone who also works in the hospitality industry, the response and agency taken by the member of staff who spoke to me on the phone was also again, disappointing. I was asked what I wanted to be done about this mistake, instead of the staff member promptly offering it to be sent back out and/or a full refund. Having had already waited for the food, and at this point very hungry and upset, we had to wait again for another batch to be sent out. Fries were given as an apology, but I feel the situation could have been handled 10x better as being given the meat options when we clearly ordered the opposite should have never happened. So if any veggies/vegans are ordering, please be on the look out! My mate did not notice she had beef dumplings until she had a proper look into them - after i found out i had real chicken!! This place has great vegan fried chicken, it is just very unfortunate these things happen, and now im not too sure how much i can trust getting my correct order!

Ordered from here a few times now but last night's food was pretty dissappointing. The large share box was missing the veg dumplings (second time this has happened) and the chicken pieces were overcooked, chicken was dry and most of the batter had fallen off. It was tasty enough but nothing compared to the first time we ordered.

UPDATE: The owner called me the next day and explained that their (digital) phone system was down the night I was calling. It has since been repaired. He listened, apologised, and offered a full refund. He also promised to fix the quality issue of the boneless bites, which he said was likely due to a change in chicken supplier. I really appreciated the follow-up - these guys actually care and that's nice. Upgraded to 4 stars for this, I look forward to pumping it back up to 5 the next time I order. ------------------------------- I used to love this place and recommended it to many people. Past couple of times it was just ok, chicken seemed to have lost its magic. Tonight, I ordered a big share box with gangnam sauce, sadly they (a) didn't include the sauce (b) over fried the chicken so it was really really dry, needing that missing sauce even more but worst of all (c) didn't answer the phone when I tried to remedy the situation and give the feedback directly. I'm going to have to take a break, maybe see you again next year.

I like it here a lot for fast take away food a good varied menu with plenty to suit any pallet

Had two orders recently from here. First order came and was missing the side of sauce and kimchi, both if which were paid extra for (judging from past reviews missing it's seem to be a common problem). No biggie, it happens. Second order was over two hours from order to delivery via their own app. When the food arrived it was cold (not surprising) and the share box was missing the Korean pickles. The box was a mess too, everything obviously chucked in to get it out the door, and the chicken was dry AF. No answer from the shop either when trying to chase the order. Won't be going back.

Excellent Korean fried chicken!

I have ate many Korean food, especially chicken as i love it so much, but i have never had drier chicken in my life and definitely not cooked with korean spice, from kebab corner shop would be cheaper, fresher and tastier, don't know about other foods they offer, but definitely will not try after this waste of money.

Love it - best treat meals. The vegan chicken is the best I’ve tried. But please please use deliveroo - Uber eats are rubbish and charge more. It’s the only thing that stops me ordering more because I’ve for deliveroo plus.

Missed an item off the order and food was overall disappointing. Restaurant does a good job marketing high quality dishes but delivering cheap AF basic "£3 chippie" quality food. All whilst charging top dollar for it.

Best fried chicken I have ever tried. The football share box was really good value and food absolutely delicious.

Food came in 20 minutes from ordering, even on a Saturday! Piping hot, generous portions that were full of flavour and were presented really well. Fried chicken was still very crispy even with all the sauces which was impressive

Fun food, great for sharing, everything was hot fresh and tasty, great service, well worth trying.

I hate having to leave such a review but I ordered late last night and the food arrived cold, secondly it felt like I was given scraps. it didnt feel like the best quality and the sauce tasted like gravy. what made it worse was the way uber eats handled my complaint basically completely ignoring it and dismissing it. so yeh the bad tasting and bad quality food was the restaurants fault and it a arriving cold was Ubers fault.

Great service but unfortunately awful food.

First time we had ordered from Love Kimchi and we loved it!! We had the Chicken ramen and Cup Bap prawn bowl and they did not disappoint. Completely traditional food with a depth of taste you don't get from a normal takeaway. It's slightly more expensive than our 'normal' takeaway meal...but definitely worth it! Will use again as a proper treat

We live at most .2 mile away from restaurant. Food was an hour late (an hour after estimated delivery time), room temp. They said it was because they only had one driver. Should have just picked it up or gone somewhere else, the 10% discount for using their app not worth cold, late food. I appreciate the response that it was busy. Fair enough but let me know the timeframe and also if it takes 2+ hours to get to my order, at least let me know and make it within an hour of delivery so it's hot. Or use another delivery service so food doesn't sit around so long.

Missed something off the order the first time so went back, they then gave me the wrong thing when I went back so had to go back a 3rd time. Get back and after eating some of it we discovered they'd given us meat dumplings instead of vegetarian. Dont bother coming here unless you like your time wasted, bunch of idiots

Not a big fan of takeaways but this one deffo worth the try ! I had an amazing meal ( Cup Bap and Share box ) really tasty Thank you for bringing some Korean food in Liverpool

Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, great service! We have eaten out with Love Kimchi a number of times now, and we will be going back for more!

Food was so tasty but expensive ! Would order main meals again. Dumplings were so small for price £8 for 8 tiny salt & pepper dumpling should have been half that price .

I ordered a vegan korean fried chicken cup bap and they accidentally gave me a meat one. Rang them up and they said to reorder, the staff were friendly about it and gave me free veg dumplings. Plus the food is great! I order through uber eats and got a fully refund on the meat dish.

Picked up some food from here and the chicken was amazing, especially enjoyed the gangnam sauce. Really high quality and will definitely be visiting again soon.

Incredible food, so tasty and definitely worth the money.

Best food ever !! Vegan fried chicken and veg dumplings are so so so good ! So impressed with all our food and the service xxxx

Very nice food and great service

We spent about £10 per person and it was more than adequate. I would recommend buying a big pot of kimchi as the small amounts that came with the meals we ordered was not enough.

Amazing!! First time we visited and we were not disappointed, the cup bap bowls are just so full of flavour and goodness and the portion sizes are perfect. Loved it, would 100% recommend. Thank you for the delicious food :)

Really disappointed with the food from here considering the previous reviews! Ordered the ultimate share box that was just full of dry burnt chicken - there were no vegetable dumplings as stated on the menu! I also ordered 3 chicken og tacos that didn’t have no salad and was just basically chicken nuggets in a wrap. I called them to inform them of the missing items and they just said that I could drive all the way back to get them when I told them that I lived 20 mins away they just said well what do u want us to do? For the price I paid for the food I expected a better service and much better food! Won’t be going here again and I don’t recommend if your looking for quality in food there are plenty of other nice places ie tiger rock

Amazing food, and great service

Love Kimchi offer a wonderful service. Really friendly and super helpful on the phone. Delicious food as always! I usually order from them at the Baltic Market, but decided to make the 30minute journey from home today to the take-out shop for a birthday treat (and the market is shut for now). Food was still hot when I got back home and just as delicious as ever! Thank you LK! Great to see that you were busy too =D

Best vegan take away I have had for YEARS! Highly recommend the tacos!

Love their ramen, the pork belly one is to die for!

Love everything in this shop 😍 Their Gangnam style chicken really tasty. And their Kimchi is the best.

This place is unreal. Since coming back from Korea 7 years ago there has been nothing close to korean take away. We miss Korean food and the food here blows our mind every time! Thank you so much for giving us a delicious taste of Korea as we slowly work our way through menu. Cam-sa-ham-ni-da! Xx

Only the BEST Korean food in the whole wide world. Plus - if you look past the food. The management, team and overall atmosphere is just incredible.

Great for Peanut Allergies. Really good experience at Love Kimchi, our two sons have severe nut allergies and we often struggle to find nut friendly takeaways. Simon and his wife Hyeon Jeong Yoon are completely on it and know exactly what ingredients are in the food they offer and what great tasty food it is. Would definitely recommend this place.

Really amazing food and service. Really different as well. For how busy and mad it was, the waiting time, quality and quantity was really sufficient!

Delicious food, generous portions, professional yet really friendly staff - amazing place, highly recommended!

Popped into the new Smithdown takeaway for 2x 9 inch share boxes which were very nice and plenty enough food to feed mum, dad and our five little ones. Like that you can also buy tubs of kimchi, salt and pepper seasoning, batter mix and more, as well as a diy kimchi kit and jar. We spent extra on a few of these tubs too. Very friendly staff. Delivery is via uber.

Great service during lockdown deliveries. Their food is fantastic we can't wait for their shop opens on Friday 😍. Good luck with your new venture. X

Love Kimchi - 100% recommended - every meal we’ve ordered has been delicious. My favourite is the Kpop chicken - it’s amazing.

Ordered from the website. Delicious kimchi (miles better than the jars you get from the supermarket), well-packaged and arrived quickly. Addictive stuff!

First visit from me,spotted these in Stretford food hall,after a little chat and some advice opted for the spicy vegan dish, very nice indeed, thank you.

Look out for Gilded Gingerbread trading as Love Kimchi at an event near you. They seem to be travelling everywhere! The classic spicy kimchi, and the kimchi fried rice totally hits the spot!
