"I was so excited to try this place as it had great reviews. I really wanted to give it 5/5 (because the food is out of this world and was absolutely amazing the best takeaway we’ve had) however my decision was sadly based on the customer service I received as soon as I walked through the door. The lady was very unwelcoming and looked at me as tho why she coming in this late (20:15) and food preparation finishes at 20:30 which is fine. She never gave me a warm welcome. I have never been here before and asked for recommendations which I got a blank look at and one word answer. Sharp, unhappy and abrupt which I found disheartening. Such lovely food tho and throughly enjoyed it. Just first impressions were sadly disappointing."

Walked a long way to visit after seeing good reviews only to find it shut even though I had checked online that it was open. Best call ahead if you are making an effort to get there.

We've been going to kimchi planet for more than two years and it's probably our favourite restaurant in Newcastle. Food is delicious and well priced. Only problem is it's so hard to choose between the spicy chicken rice bowl and pork cheese and egg kimchi fried rice!

I loved the kimbup was soooo good! I hate the small plastic pots for sauces and wish there was an option to not get these freebies as I don’t eat. Nice touch though : I really liked the dumplings but wish you offered steamed option. I would also like to see spicy kimchi on the menu! I highly recommend this place.

Had been for a takeaway before lockdown and was very impressed. Just had one via dileveroo and what a difference! Sushi we had was still excellent, but it was like “spot the meat” on the rice bowls. Shame. Am adding photo of what was left of too much rice and (tasty) sauce after our disappointment Expected better for £50! View menu

We are regular customers with the quality and flavours of Korean food served being excellent. The vegan beef kimbap (sushi), fried vegetable dumplings and homemade kimchi jars to go are personal favourites. There is a clear amount of talent and love that goes into cooking these hearty and fresh dishes. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

What a lovely wee hidden gem. We found out about this place from a work colleague, as it is hidden away in a quiet housing area. We both had rice bowls which were delicious and really reasonably priced. It's also incredible how as soon as you step through the door, it's like you're not in England any more the atmosphere and decor mimics small restaurants in Asia so well! Definitely worth the trip!

I was very excited to say the least when I found out about kimchi planet, through lockdown I watched a few Korean food blogging videos and wondered what it tasted like. We had the kimchi fried rice, kimchi, veggie dumplings, vegan beef kimbap, black bean noodles and the hotteok. Impressed they did a vegan meat option rather than just veggies. The hotteok was amazing! Really enjoyed the meal and wood definitely recommend! The dishes are about £6 for a main and you get plenty, sides and dessert about £3.5. So cheap enough if you want to go and order a few things to share and try.

Ordered a couple of dishes from here today, two different flavour kimbaps, kimchi pancakes, hotteocks, and japchae. Utterly disappointed with the quality never mind the quantity... The rice for the Kimbaps were so mushy, it doesn’t have the distinctive rice shapes, it’s just looked like someone had added too much water into it, making it a consistancy of half rice half congee!! Never had I had a kimchi pancake as disgusted looking as the one we ordered today. It was black burnt and rock hard! Hotteocks were also burnt! The Japchae was so oily, it just feels like you’re slurping on oil in every mouth you intake. Tried messaging them thru Facebook but no replies whatsoever. Paid £20+ for food...

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."
