Kim Chi Korean Cafe - Hitchin

The staff was friendly and willing to chat about budgets to make sure that the food was suitable for me. I had the bibimbap with shijitake mushrooms and sweet dumplings as a side. both were really delicious, and my whole meal costs less than 10! the staff also gave us a free sample of a new suppe that they tried out, which was delicious. hitchin has no mass of vegan options, so this caffe is a great supplement for sweet in the opposite: updated by the previous review on 2020 10 29

Got shiitake mushroom bibimbap, tofu kimbap tteok bokki (simmered rice cakes). The sauce from the tteok bokki was helpful in adding more flavour and moistness to the other dishes. Food was prepared quickly and was tasty and filling. The staff were not very friendly or helpful without the allergen list on the wall and previous reviews I would have been worried about getting vegan food. They didn’t tell us the kimchi was not veggie (fish sauce in it) had to specify that the dishes came without it.

Very small menu, but the food I got was delicious: the shitake mushroom bibimbap was tasty and really filling, and the tofu pockets were great (although I think they should have come with a sauce, which would have made them even better). There’s an allergen list on the wall, but a note saying to double-check. The kimchi itself has fish in, so the mushroom bibimbap was made without.

I had kimbap with oyster mushrooms- it was tasty and freshly prepared would come back to try other dishes!

Staff were friendly and willing to chat about ingredients to make sure food was suitable for me. I had the bibimbap with shiitake mushrooms, and vegetable dumplings as a side. Both were really tasty, and my whole meal cost less than £10! The staff also gave us a free sample of a new soup they were testing out, which was delicious. Hitchin doesn't have masses of vegan options, so this cafe is a great addition for veggies in the area : Updated from previous review on 2020-10-29
