The service was top-notch, just like always! They really take care of you there. And guess what? The food was even better than last time! It was already great, but this time it was a little bit extra special. The place is always clean, and there's plenty of space between tables. For me, this is the most authentic Korean restaurant in Tucson. We always order way too much food for just the two of us. We always love the spicy squid. The sauce is amazing, especially when you have some leftover to put on plain rice. We also tried the japchae, and this place is the only one in Tucson that can make it right. We've been to Seoul, Korea, and we know the standard. The Galbi Tang is a chef's kiss. It always warms your stomach. And for the first time, we tried the grilled mackerel. It was crispy and delicious, even better the next day.

We've now dined at this family-operated eatery more times than we can count since moving to Tucson two years ago on job transfers. Each time we've felt welcome, we've had great service, and we've enjoyed the best Korean food we've had anywhere in the United States, and at very reasonable prices to boot. We love Kimchi Time! I accidentally removed my review after Christina commented. Yelp makes it really hard to make updates. Sorry!

Kimchi Time offers a decent asian dining experience for Tucson. I got the hot Stone Bibimbap which had crispy rice with well-seasoned veggies, a fried egg, and just the right amount of spice if you add in the gochujang. Definitely the dish to try. The Kimchee Fried Rice was decent but very spicy for my non-existent spice tolerance. The spice flavor overpowers the rice, making it a bit one-dimensional. The side dishes were underwhelming. The kimchi was probably the best side dish. The other side dishes had rather interesting flavors. Overall, I'd say it's worth a visit if you are in Tucson and craving some Korean comfort food!

Quick and attentive service staff and good food. Our favorite was the soon du bu soup. Would love to try Katsu chicken and other items next time! Casual and chill ambiance.

Our second time at this restaurant and it has become our favorite go to place in Tucson! Very friendly staff and the food is so flavorful. We had the spicy pork and beef Bulgogi and both were awesome. And the various kimchi that you get to start your meal are great! Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

We drive thru and stay the night in Tuscon every year-we try to order take out from a different place every year. Well, traveling on New Year's Day does have its disadvantages when looking for something other than fast food, but this place was open! We called ahead 30 minutes out from our hotel-the gentleman on the phone was polite and cheery. As the background noise sounded like it was hopping in there, he told us the order would be ready in 30-40 minutes. During the time for pickup, we quickly headed over to the restaurant, which was only about 5 minutes away. We were immediately greeted by the same gentleman that took our order over the phone-he was again so very polite! We had the Bibimbap; it was fresh and enough for 2-3 meals in itself. We also had the crab rangoons which were tasty as well! All was reasonably priced and again fresh and tasty! If you're in the Tucson area, stop in and have some quality and tasty Korean food!

Definitely miss the old set up although there's more room now. Food was ok but doesn't taste like it used to. The service was friendly but not attentive.

Oh my! I may be in love. My sister was excited and nervous for my first time having Korean food. I wish I took pictures of my food but as soon as it touched the table I had to choose myself haha ! Will absolutely be back! This was AMAZING
