Poke bowls, Korean fried chicken, and loaded fries.
"Owner Joon Son opened the doors to Kimchipapi Kitchen in the same spot as his former sneaker shop. At Kimchipapi, you can find some of the best poke bowls in Boston — the real magic is in the various sauces they use to top their dishes. They also boast a variety of Korean street food, including crispy, cheesy Korean corn dogs." - Lala Thaddeus
"Opened in 2018 at 81 Harvard Ave. on Allston’s Harvard Avenue, Kimchipapi Kitchen has been slinging poke bowls, Korean fried chicken, Korean street corndogs, and more. The spot is run by Joon Son, who previously owned a sneaker shop called At the Buzzer in the same space and has said he’s “just an Allston rat trying to get my cheese.” The team is expanding its reach with two new concepts launching in August 2021." - Terrence Doyle
"Also affected by the same parapet collapse that injured a pedestrian, Kimchipapi Kitchen reopened after closing for several weeks and is operating with scaffolding still in place and mostly regular hours: 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and closed on Sunday." - Terrence Doyle
"I saw that Kimchipapi Kitchen, also located in the same Harvard Avenue building, was one of the two restaurants predominantly affected by the parapet collapse on November 4; the restaurant posted on Facebook that it will be closed for repairs “indefinitely.” Fire and police responded to free one person from debris and transport two injured people (one critically) to hospital, crews evacuated several occupants, the 75–85 Harvard Ave. block was blocked off amid warnings that more of the parapet could fall, and officials estimated roughly $500,000 in damage." - Dana Hatic
"I also saw sneak-peek coverage of Kimchipapi Kitchen as one of the recently opened spots included in the gallery of new restaurants." - Eater Staff
