Miss Kim is awesome! I haven’t had a ton of Korean food in my life so this was a fantastic spot to try some classic dishes with a Midwest spin on it. Favorites by far are the soy butter rice (I could eat ten bowls of this), Korean Fried chicken (both flavors are great but spicy option slightly better), Crispy Broccolini, Kimchi Pork Fried Rice, and Smashed Potatoes. We also got the short rib, tteokbokki in the street style and cacio e Pepe style, short rib, and cauliflower. All were really good, only miss for me was the cauliflower but I’m just not much of a fan of cauliflower in general. Family style is the way to go here, we went with four people and still had a few leftovers with everything we ordered. Definitely a gem of Ann Arbor, if I am ever back in town I’ll definitely be visiti
Overall an ok experience. We made reservations and was seated on time inside. The inside is super noisy. I could hardly hear the wait staff. The tables are pretty close and the acoustic in the place is horrible. When it was time to order, they ran out of all proteins on the menu. No fish, no scallops etc. so we went all vegetarian. Portions are small for the price. Food is decent. Some of the dishes tasted overly salty or burnt. Would I go again, sadly No. We expected better in the heart of Ann Arbor, but this was a real disappointment. Hope you have better luck.
Fantastic Korean food! The smashed potatoes, fried cheese and lotus root were so delicious. The japchae was to die for! As Indians, we're used to spicy and savory food and Miss Kim hits the right spot. I'll definitely come back again 😁
10/10 excellent meal and already looking forward to going back. My husband and I shared a spread of dishes. The smashed potatoes were seasoned well and crispy, and the cauliflower had great flavor and texture with a mayo dipping sauce. The fried chicken sandwich was a standout, super crunchy, juicy, and flavorful. The sweet chili baby back ribs were tender with just the right balance of heat. The Vietnamese coffee was perfectly sweet. It’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner, and it works just as well for a date as it does for a meal with friends.
Honestly, my favorite item was the cacio e pepe tteokbokki. It was a little crispy with a savory hint. The pickled onion and green onion really helped balance it. A got the duck bimbimbop. The duck was great as it was medium rare and crispy. However, it was cut a little large for bite size with the rice. I would suggest asking them to cut it thinner. More importantly, the stone pot was not enough because I barely had any crispy rice at the bottom. I even waited about a minute to let it crisp up some more. There was no rice parts that was even browned up. Also, it lacked sauce use. I used all that was given. Server was great. Talked to the hostess 3 like 3 seperate time and she act like she didn’t know what I wanted each time… I came by myself.
