Little Kim is the upcoming Ann Arbor restaurant from Miss Kim | Eater Detroit

"Construction has begun on a smaller, casual counter-service concept from Ji Hye Kim, planned for a spring opening, aimed at an all-vegetarian menu that leans into her Korean identity while incorporating Chinese, Japanese, and Indian influences and sourcing ingredients from Michigan farmers and producers. The menu will center on customizable bowls (choice of jasmine rice, greens, or fries) with protein options like kidney beans in soy sauce and ghee or chickpeas in gochujang marinara; veggie choices include vegan kimchi plus a variety of sauces and garnishes. Expect soups that combine cultures—example: a spiced moong daal soup made of slow-cooked mung beans and winter squash—and a daily kimbap offering such as a panko-fried paneer sandwich. Drinks will include freshly squeezed juices, housemade sodas, small-batch kombucha, a mocktail program, and beer, wine, and makgeolli; Kim will also sell her gochujang and soy sauces for home use. The finished space will feature an open kitchen and an aesthetic that blends Korean heritage with modernity. As Kim explains her intention for the new project, “I think [the new spot] is similar, but I think it’s more that I was really focused on being able to be more equitable.”" - Serena Maria Daniels

Cute casual lunch spot with yummy food. We got the tofu bowl and fried tofu sandwich and they were both really good! A tad on the pricy side for lunch, but it’s worth it for the quality of the food. Very fresh and flavorful. It is a vegetarian menu, and most if not all can be made vegan.

I have already ordered the fried tofu bowl three times since they have been open, and they haven't been open for very long. It is so good. Great flavors, very satisfying, absolutely perfect.

Seems like they are still working this place out, which is understandable as I think they are new. I had Jjajangbap and it's like they haven't figured out the portions. It had the largest portion of bean paste I have ever seen -- like I was feeding a family -- then about 1/4 of the large plate had rice. The taste was good but I think no one would be able to eat this plate as an entree. Also, I thought "grab and go" on the sign would mean there were things you could grab pre-made and go. But it is not like that, you order just like a sit down restaurant, which is what this seems to be. Staff was very nice. Charming place to sit outside. Pricey.

WOW! I've been twice now, once this week and once last. Had the fried tofu sandwich and the paneer sandwich – both are spectacular and served on Zingerman's bread. These aren't just sandwiches… they're something greater than the sum of their parts. And please do yourself a favor and order the crunchy sesame salad. Expect to see me a few times a month =) While I didn't dine in the atmosphere seemed nice, but I'll have to update my review after dining in since i've only opted for to-go these past two times.

the tofu sandwich was good but quite small considering a price of $17. Photos of the sandwich in ads make it appear to be much more sizable.

Great flavors! Had the fries, all dipping sauces were incredible, tempeh w black bean sauce, and the crumbled tofu bowl. Will be back to try the rest of the menu because everything was fresh and flavorful!

Great concept and excited about this more grab and go casual option alongside Miss Kim! Stopped in for a to go order on a weekday, lunchtime. The menu is varied and everything sounds pretty yummy. For my first time, I got the fried tofu sandwich, and when prompted "would you like fries?", added those to my order as well. The sandwich was yummy! Super filling. Great option but I wouldn't say mind-blowingly phenomenal necessarily. I hear the thing to try next is the Mushroom Avocado bowl, and that that dish is really standout. The sandwich was so filling that I didn't really have any room left for the fries :D, which was a sizeable portion. The dip/sauce options here are SO fun. So many to try! Wait was around 15-20min, which works well for a lunch break from work.

Little Kim is Miss Kim's vegetarian fast casual concept! You order at the counter and you get a number for your table & they bring your food. In true ZCOB fashion, the staff couldn't be more friendly. Honestly so nice and helpful. I was oogling at all the Korean snacks they had like Turtle Chips (yum!), mint herbal candy, whale shaped squid chips (?). I had the Jajjangbap (Korean Chinese Black Bean Sauce Over Rice, Brinery Tempeh, Zucchini - $15) I also added an egg for extra $. It was a plenty big portion that I ate half for lunch the next day. I thought it was pretty unique as I've only had jajjang NOODLES. With rice is different but I was into it. This version is super pungent and flavorful. Love it. I also didn't even realize there was tempeh in it! I also ordered the fries because I wanted to try the sauces: *Seaweed sauce - worth a try but I think would be better as a sandwich sauce! *ssamjang mayo - OBSESSED - my favorite. kinda funky from what ssamjang is (fermented) *curry mayo - I mean can't really go wrong. The only thing is that I like steak fries and these were super thin but not crispy enough. It was a HUGE portion so I took it home and airfried it to perfection! I'll be back when they have kimbap on the regular!! I'm so looking forward to being able to have this at a place on the regular. FYI there's some outdoor seating in the front & back courtyard. Otherwise, it's communal tables.

The fries, by themselves, are quite good. But the sauces they have to dip the fries in are really different and something else! I didn't think I'd like the matcha seaweed mayo, but I was wrong. I really liked it! What a strange combo that turned out to be a favorite. This is a good place for a quick bite. They have ample outdoor seating, and indoor seating if you want that. It is a bit hard to find if you don't know the area.

I was very excited to try Little Kim. The food did not disappoint but the price of the bowls is certainly high for what you get. For a quick service restaurant paying $17+ for a mushroom and avocado bowl is too much.
