You know a Korean food spot slaps when there are always a bunch of ahjussi & ajumma eating there always!I'm not a regular at Jongro, but I have been here a handful of times and just have never left a review. It's my favorite kimbap place in OC! The food tastes so comforting and hearty, and there's just something about the atmosphere that reminds me of when I used to eat kimbap as a kid.Speaking of the food, there are several selections of kimbap that you can choose from. My go to is always the kimchi kimbap with their spicy rice cakes! Their rolls are so large!! And the rice to filling ratio is perfect. They also have katsu and sujebi and a whole host of other authentic Korean cuisine.The ladies there are also the sweetest! It really feels like they're just friends who work together. They are quick to bring out banchan and water. The vibes are pretty laid back, like a small restaurant to catch up with your friends. Such a wonderful place to eat, I'll definitely be back again!

Pretty good kimbap, ramen, and kimchi fried rice considering the number of similar restaurants in the area.It's a solid 4.5 for me with 4 stars for food and 5 for service. With "kimbap" in the name, you'll expect to have access to a variety of quality kimbap, and I was pleased with the variety and satisfied with the quality. I had the bulgolgi kimbap, and the veggies were good, although the beef was a bit dry and crumbly. The kimchi fried rice was really good and had a unique kick of green peppers and lots of depth in flavor with almost a cajun profile. The service was great, and for a smaller space, there were plenty of tables for different sesting arrangements.

A no frills Korean comfort joint that serves a solid Kimbap. Not vegetarian friendly at all, even the veggie kimbap has fish cake so vegetarians beware. The kimbap/soup combo is a solid deal for $15 and is perfect as a shared snack or individual meal. all the signs and menus have limited english, so come with a translation app or try your best! Service is friendly so nothing to worry about.

Quick satisfying food for a hot day.I tried multiple times calling and placing an online order and finally got through to a live person after at least six tries. The online ordering was glitchy and also not updated by the business.Thankfully the place had the air conditioning Blasting cool air. Got these rolls ( approximately 10 pieces per order) : beef, tuna, combo (2), fire anchovy, Inari rolls (5 pieces) and a huge bowl of abalone porridge. All freshly made, I did wish the rice used in The rolls was a tad softer today. Some grains were either dried out or felt too Al dente for my liking. Otherwise good flavor and enough for sharing with several friends.Sorry about the plastic wrap on the photos but we wanted to keep the food safe while waiting for guests.

Combo kimbap - good! Falling apart since it wasn't quite wrapped right enough but it was yummy and I would get it again Beef rice bowl - very good! Meat was tasty, sweet. Service was excellent and quick. Price is reasonable. Small ish dining area, good for couples and maybe small families but not bigger groups. Would go back!

I ordered takeout for lunch, and I received a bowl of soup with my fire anchovy kimbap. The total was $8.99 plus tax, and they included a side of radish in the box. The radish was very delicious, and it saved my tongue from the spicy fire anchovies. I like that the roll had a good amount of the anchovies, but I'm not sure I would order this kind again. If I come back again, I think I'll would probably try the other kimbaps and other korean dishes.

I came here to quickly buy some kimbap for a hike the next day. I got the bulgogi kimbap, and it was great! No complaints. This place gives hole in the wall vibes, the Korean ahjummas here are nice. Food comes out fast and I was in and out in 10 minutes.

One of the best spicy seafood ramen and Tuna Kimbap I've tasted. Friendly service. We had the shrimp fried rice, steamed dumpling, bulgogi Kimbap, and the combo (spicy seafood ramen & half order of Tuna Kimbap). The soup was delicious and spicy, but I could not stop eating it. It tasted like jangpong but with ramen. I would have like to have more seafood. All I did taste was squid and fish cake. A few slices of spam, but I don't eat meat so I put it to the side. My daughter had the dumpling, beef Kimbap and fried rice. She said she liked it all. Our only dislike was that the egg yolk on the fried rice was over cooked so there was no yolk like in the pictures and we could have done without the red bell pepper. All tasted great though. She said the Kimbap tasted better than the one at H-Mart in La Mirada. Will come back and try their fish cake soup next time and get a full order of the Tuna Kimbap!Thank you to the kind lady who kept refilling my water

Souper satisfied! I was impressed by the portion sizes, and my kimbap expectations were met. The kimbap was only 7.99, and the kimchi fried rice was 12.99, but each comes with a soup and pickled radishes, plus extra kimchi!After a long work week, I yelped "kimbap" in search of a takeout spot, and I am so thankful to have landed here! Beef kimbap was 4.5/5 and filled with ?8 ingredients. Kim chi fried rice was tasty 4.5/5 with a indulgent sesame flavor, a nice mild-medium spice level, and a fried egg on top! I gave 4 stars because it wasn't the best ever, but it may be because I got takeout. My order was ready 10 minutes before expected, so that was a plus, and workers were friendly.It was a mom n' pop kind of place in a run down but bustling strip mall in Cerritos, so I had high hopes--and they were met. They also serve dukbokki, soups, and some meat and rice plates--I regret not peeking at what the dining-in guests were eating. Maybe I'll return someday to try the other items in person...or maybe just keep getting kimbap to go.

The cholmyun was delish. Chilled, chewy, sweet and savory.I got the combo kimbap. It's kinda pricey. The pcs were thin. I think it works out to 1 single roll.Their kimchi and danmooji were awesome!The A/C went out so it was very very hot.Service was very kind.
