“ One of the best Korean barbecue restaurants I’ve been to in San Antonio texas! Fresh food, quick service, and affordable prices. Thank you for making my experience amazing. We will definitely be back in the future. ”
“ Originally, we were going to @ilsong_koreanrestaurant but discovered they were closed today. Hubby suggested Kim's Galbi so we headed there. Dad had Lemonade, I had a Sapporo draft, and hubby had Terra. We ordered Shrimp Tempura for Dad. So many, there were 10 in the order! We shared the Japchae with all its flavors. Hubby and I shared the LA Galbi. Love the ban chan! There was one that was vinegary and so good. We call it "ku chai". It was all just enough food for us. Our server was Donna, who's from the Philippines. It was a 5 star experience! ”
“ As a Korean who originally from Korea I recommend Kim’s Galbi strongly. Truly authentic and really delicious restaurant. They have plenty of room and parking space. Also very friendly and enough amount of food! All the dishes are very good but if you are fan of bbq, gal-bi would be a good choice! ”
“ It’s one of my favorite Korean restaurants in San Antonio! I have had only a few things from their menu so far but I want to keep going back! Their prices are great and they have lunch options too, super great atmosphere whether by yourself or with a group! They have so many great options to choose from, from personal plates to plates/options for the table. (I’ll update pictures for the next visit! Edit to fix: I meant “only a few options NOT limited options!! Definitely check them out) ”
“ We went between lunch and dinner time and it was amazing! The food is great! The atmosphere is cozy and friendly! It was our first time doing a hot pot and it was such an easy and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend and we will be bringing friends/family here when we can! ”
“ This was my first time trying Korean bbq and this place didn't disappoint. It was delicious! We thought about having the all-you-can-eat option but since they said we couldn't take anything home we went with the other option for three people. Piece of advice, just go with the all-you-can-eat option because it's that good! Service was excellent, they seemed to be very patient and even when the location was closed, they didn't rush us out. I have zero complaints about this place. Interested? Check them out, they are open 7 days a week! It's pricey but worth it. I want to go back already. ”
“ Although we were gathering here for a meal after a sad occasion, we had an amazing celebration of life with this great, delicious food! There was SO MUCH FOOD. We had our own private room with the sizzling cooking stations and the meats were fresh and seasoned well. There was about 18 of us and the service was still awesome...we didn't wait on anything...Very Impressive! I would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area. ”
