The Kimchi Project, Auckland CBD

Authentic Korean cuisine. The couched seats are very comfortable and nice as a cafe if theres not too many people!

Don’t be deceived by the small frontage of this place - the restaurant spills out into a lush, tropical-feeling courtyard tucked away out of street view. On this brisk winter's day, we were mega-thankful for the readily-provided blankets and heater. The menu offers a lovely range, with a cheeky Instagram stalk able to provide some guidance for our orders (when in doubt, refer to Insta). The shared Kimchi Waffle Fries and Lotus Root Chips were demolished in no time. The food, although beautifully presented, wasn’t the most flavoursome. Nonetheless, the helpful waitstaff and lovely atmosphere ensured a lovely lunch for all. With the infamous fried chicken not available all day (though this may have been our misread of the menu in hindsight), we might have to squeeze in a post-work dinner visit sometime soon.
