Kimski

About Kimski

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Chicago, stepping into Kimski felt like experiencing the city's melting pot philosophy made deliciously edible. This isn't just another fusion restaurant—it's a playful celebration of Chicago's immigrant spirit, where Korean and Polish traditions merge in ways that somehow make perfect sense in a city built on cultural collision. The kimchi pierogi arrive like little packages of genius, the tangy fermented cabbage playing beautifully against tender potato filling, while the Korean-spiced poutine represents everything fun and unexpected about this kitchen's approach to comfort food fusion. What makes Kimski special isn't just the novelty of the combination—it's how chef Won Kim has created dishes that honor both cultures while creating something entirely new. Each bite tells the story of two immigrant communities finding common ground in their shared love of hearty, soul-warming food, resulting in a menu that feels both authentically rooted and wonderfully inventive.
