About Kimchi Cult

The menu is built around kimchi burgers and bulgogi beef fries, with Korean fried chicken, including a Honey Butter Fried Chicken, as another main option.

Customer Review Summary

Fried chicken is the most frequent draw, with reviewers praising the Honey Butter Fried Chicken as crispy, sweet and buttery, and another calling a Korean Fried Chicken spice bag unreal. Close behind are the bibimbap, including a fried tofu version with soy garlic glaze, and the bulgogi beef fries, where the beef melted in the mouth. Homemade kimchi, a cheesy corndog and chips with a wee skin also get mentions, and a lunch deal of fried chicken, chips or rice and a drink is called great value. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and chatty, and the atmosphere as quirky and warm.

    “Love this place!! Have very fond memories of eating here. First visit was a couple of years ago. Came back yesterday and it did not disappoint. Still holds up as the best chicken I’ve ever had! Staff are lovely and the whole vibe is great.”

    “I had the tofu salt and chilli. The staff are super nice and the service is fast I found the food to taste a bit weird - the chips were soggy and the chilli box tasted of dry cumin/spice mix. The kimchi tasted dull - maybe could do with incorporating some apple/brightness. The floors were a bit sticky and could do with replacing. I wouldn't recommend the dish I ordered I've had the chicken before which was absolutely delicious.”

    “Fantastic meal, super fresh and yummy food. The fried tofu bibimbap was amazing with the soy garlic glaze is defo a must try. The fried chicken was a bit too greasy but I’m not a huge fried chicken fan. Kimchi was so yum and the portions are very generous 🌟”

    “After being a student at UofG for 4 years I can safely say that the most consistent thing that brought me joy at lunch or during exam season snacks was Kimchi Cult! This place was by far my favourite place for lunch and it was fitting to have my last lunch as a Glasgow student here. I’ve recommended this place to everyone I know and will continue to do so. I am already looking forward to my next lunch here whenever that will be. I hope this place brings joy to someone else the way Indian for me and shows how impactful good food can really be!!”

    “Food was amazing as usual - tried their Spice Bag, Extra Spicy with Korean Fried Chicken for the first time and it was unreal. Good portion and not expensive for what you get! Staff are class, always get good chat off them and the food was ready in minutes! Definitely one of the best places in the Westend of Glasgow for food! They never disappoint!”
