Kimchi Pop

Me and my bf popped in right before closing., they had the juicest beef bulgogi ever ngl, it was so good and a big portion of rice to go w it. They have sides for dine in only which is pretty cool. The spam musubi is so flavorful as well i cant not glaze it The workers r 10/10 better than starbucks bullshit lolMe and my man even got a free choco bar, def coming back as there was not even a long wait Ambiance was cozy, small and def my slice of cake when it comes to k food. Only thing a bit off is that they play nonstop kpop songs on the tv lol

We regularly get together with my mother-in-law on Sundays in the Uptown area and figured to branch out and see what else there was other than our usuals. Funny enough, Kimchi Pop! has already been open for two years and we've already gone to some other restaurants nearby. Maybe I wrote it off since we have a Korean standby though farther away.So we figured to give it a try for convenience. It's a counter order arrangement and you bus your own tables, but there is a self-serve choice of four banchan provided for dine-in and a hot/cold water station. Dine in is on real plates and utensils rather than disposable-ware. We went with the kimbap ($13.99, spam +$3), stone bowl bibimbap (pork) - $15.99, soondubu (seafood) $14.50, and scallion pancake (seafood) - $12.99. Food is great and it was good to have the kimbap once with spam (thinking about another form of spam musubi, which is also on the menu). Stone bowl isn't going to be as hot to crisp rice, but I'm not sure that's a full star ding - so just go with regular bibimbap for $13.99. It still would have been good with another choice of filling without the surcharge. Keep in mind there is a 4% non-cash surcharge and meter parking is relatively available (at least on a Saturday night). Portions and quality were good to balance to the price and convenience. You'd get more banchan elsewhere and maybe lower prices, but you'd probably have to drive farther and tip up for service. Nice touch with dark chocolate choco pie at the end of the meal!

I have some authentic Korean food and it is quickly served. I do recommend for either dine in or takeout

Great Korean food in uptown!! About 3 or 4 tables to dine in. Went between lunch and dinner rush; our meal was prepared fresh and was nice and hot. Would definitely recommend this spot! Try it out!!!

Ok - first time here and did a take out order. I think it was decent but by no means the best Korean I've ever had. Given that there's not many Korean options in this immediate area, this will do for now, but I wouldn't come out of my way for this place. I was expecting a little more more flavor out of the bulgogi plate with rice. Overall a solid 7/10 I'd say.

We had an amazing lunch at Kimchi Pop! The owner was so kind and welcoming to us. The food was amazing. It was fun to watch the k-pop videos too!

5 stars across the board. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The owner came multiple times to check in on us and even gave a free dessert at the end of our meal. Highly recommend checking out this spot!

We were so sad to move away from the original kimchi pop location on Ashland... and then excited to find out there was another location around the corner from us! The food is just as good as the original location. We love the rice cakes. The dumplings and fried rice are also good. I'm a seafood pancake girl so definitely raised an eyebrow when my husband ordered the kimchi one ... but it was good! Fast causal just like the original and they are on doordash too.

Best kimchi pancake I've had so far in the city! Very small dining area, really mostly meant for take out. But we sat down and had their free banchan, and watched K-pop videos on their TV while we had great kimchi pancakes and a hot tofu stew, though I wish the egg was raw vs. hard boiled. Good local Korean place if you're craving hot soondobu on the cold winter nights! Be patient with the food, looks like they are made to order and we had to wait for a bit, but service is friendly and attentive if you need something.

Have always walked pass this place and my girlfriend and I decided today was the day to check it out! I've not had much Korean cuisine in my life but boy is that going to change from now on. I got the chef specialty and my girlfriend got the ramen. 12/10!!! So delicious and flavorful! Owner was also so kind and wonderful. Can't wait to go back and can't recommend Kimchi Pop enough!
