Located on Laclede’s Landing, Kimchi Guys brings bold Korean flavors and creative fusion dishes to Downtown St. Louis. The restaurant specializes in Korean fried chicken, pairing the crunch of double-fried chicken with signature sauces and a menu that blends Korean cuisine with other comfort food favorites.
The Korean fried chicken is a standout, available as wings, tenders, or on sandwiches, tossed in sauces such as garlic-soy, spicy original, or Korean Buffalo. For a hearty lunch or dinner, try the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich, which combines crispy chicken with mayonnaise and cucumber kimchi on a soft bun.
Beyond chicken, Kimchi Guys offers a variety of rice bowls, tacos, and burritos inspired by Korean and Mexican-American flavors. The Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl pairs kimchi-fried rice with a choice of protein and a fried egg, while the Bibimbap combines rice, sautéed vegetables, a protein, and KG sauce. Appetizers add even more variety: Loaded Beef Fries are topped with Korean BBQ bulgogi beef, cheese sauce, honey butter corn, and kimchi mayonnaise. Pork mandu, traditional Korean dumplings, are served fried or boiled, while tteokbokki features chewy rice cakes coated in a sweet-and-spicy Chile sauce. Kimchi Guys also offers vegan options, including vegan bibimbap and plant-based “takos”, alongside a selection of sides.
With its combination of crispy chicken, hearty rice bowls, and inventive fusion fare, Kimchi Guys offers Downtown diners a casual, flavorful destination for lunch or dinner.
