Kim's Mini MealsB+

5 Buccleuch St, Edinburgh EH8 9JN · Korean restaurant · Edinburgh

Tiny Korean spot delivering bold, homestyle flavors at student-friendly prices, but expect queues, tight seating, and occasional brusque service policies.

Our take

Kim's Mini Meals delivers solid food quality with deeply comforting stews and tender ribs that justify its loyal following, but inconsistent execution—watery jjigae and soggy pancakes on off nights—prevents a higher grade. Tight seating and peak-time congestion further constrain the experience, though exceptional value and quick service make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood Korean restaurants for diners prioritizing flavor and portions over comfort.

One caveat: Space is tight, warm, and often rushed; lines are common and no reservations accepted
