Kimchi

About

Kimchi Hophouse is Dublin’s oldest Korean restaurant, fusing authentic Korean dishes with a lively Irish pub atmosphere. Located on Parnell Street, the venue boasts a cozy beer garden and a vibrant indoor space where staff—native Korean chefs and friendly servers—serve classic fare such as Bibimbap, Kimchi Zigae, and a wide range of vegan options. The adjoining beer garden offers a relaxed setting to enjoy local Guinness alongside Korean Soju cocktails, making it a unique cultural blend on the city’s west side. The menu showcases traditional Korean delights: bright, spicy bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl, hearty Kimchi Zigae stews, and several beautifully plated vegetarian dishes. Guests rave about the freshness of ingredients, the generous portion sizes, and the thoughtfully crafted scents that evoke a home‑cooked Korean kitchen. For diners on a budget, the price point is reasonable with many dishes priced between €10-€18, while a full course lunch can comfortably greet a €30 meal. Operated as both a restaurant and a pub, Kimchi Hophouse welcomes walk‑ins but strongly recommends booking during peak times, especially on weekends. Reservations can be made via the restaurant’s dedicated reservation system, and all table bookings can be confirmed through the “Reservations” page on the official website. For inquiries, the contact number is +353 1 872 8318 and the email address kimchi.hophouse@gmail.com. The venue’s vibrant yet welcoming setting makes it a must‑visit spot for both Korean cuisine enthusiasts and curious locals alike.
