The Spot
Miss Kim sits in Kerrytown, serving Korean dishes built around what's local and in season. The Korean fried chicken has become the dish regulars steer newcomers toward, alongside a rotating set of fusion plates that keep the menu changing — a byproduct of working with seasonal availability rather than a fixed rotation.

The room runs loud and lively, the kind of noise that comes from a restaurant people keep returning to and talking about. That word-of-mouth pull has held even as certain dishes come and go depending on what the kitchen can source.

The restaurant's chef has been a James Beard Foundation semifinalist three years running — Outstanding Chef in 2022, then Best Chef (Great Lakes) in 2023 and 2024. Hour Detroit named Miss Kim among its best restaurants in 2025.
