Kim Restaurant in Potts Point to close its doors

Sydney's Mod Korean movement has taken another hit, with Potts Point's Kim restaurant to close its doors at the end of July. The news follows the decision by one-hat Redfern restaurant Moon Park to extinguish the pilot light in September.

"As much as we loved our Potts Point location, I don't think the demographic was a good fit, closer to the city would be ideal," Kim co-owner David Ralph says.

The chef maintains the cuisine is far from a fizzer with the Sydney dining public, and he is keen to continue to prove it offers more than just fried chicken and kimchi at a new location in the future.

Whether that it is with his kitchen collaborator Tae Kyu Lee [ex Ms. G's, Quay] is up in the air. "We are just taking Korean cuisine in our own separate ways ...[We] have departed on good terms. Can't rule out we wouldn't do something in the future together," Ralph says. Kim's Llankelly Place digs won't be empty for long. "Impromptu Dining is taking over the space, I'm not sure if the restaurant will be called that."
