The Kimbap

Anytime I'm in Koreatown (which is often) and I need something quick to eat (again, which is often) The Kimbap is my go-to. It's a quick-service take-out only spot, and it's always very fast even though I always order in-person. I always end up ordering a Spicy Chicken or Spicy something and it is SPICY- I don't have an extremely high spice tolerance, but it's not low either- definitely can tolerate spice more that the average person. But holy cow their spicy is SPICY. I always end up hyperventilating a few pieces in, but also can't stop eating because it's so good.They have a valet lot, but if I tell the parking attendant that I'm there to quickly pick up from The Kimbap he always points to an empty spot and lets me park on my own.Highly recommend for an easy yet delicious and filling lunch.. and SPICY.. don't say I didn't warn you!

Probably the best kimbap shop in all of Ktown- I'm surprised it took me this long to finally come try it. I was in the area so decided to stop by and I was happy I did! I found free street parking nearby and walked over. It was completely empty on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the kimchi kimbap and the beef kimbap - both the small size. It was very good - not too heavy on the rice. The kimchi one felt very fresh but I wish they used a homemade kimchi. Their kimchi tastes like the store bought ones. The beef one was flavorful but the beef was so overcooked it was almost powdery. I love that you can get the smaller size so you can try more flavorful. There's pretty much no wait time. I ordered and got my items within 10 seconds. The aunties working here are very nice. I'll definitely be back to try more of their flavors!

I got **FOOD POISONING** after eating here. A few hours after eating the beef kimbap, I started throwing up repeatedly--over 15 times--and eventually had to go to the ER. The ER confirmed it was a virus caused by contaminated food or poor handling practices, and this was the only food I ate all day (i got this for lunch, and i already felt ill by dinner) I have all the reports from the ER to back this up. When I called the shop to report this, they were dismissive and almost hung up before even offering a solution. Their attitude made me feel like they genuinely didn't care about customers getting sick from their food. When I mentioned reporting the incident, they told me to just email their insurance. Does this happen often? Do they really have an entire process in place for food poisoning complaints? This made me seriously question their practices and how often this happens. Be careful eating here--your health might depend on it.

Best $5 lunch you can find just about anywhere! Service is always incredibly quick, and the employees are all passionate about the product.

One of my favorite little eateries for quick, nutritious, and delicious food. They offer 4 kinds of vegetarian kimbap: avocado, mushroom, kimchi, and perilla leaves. We got all four single rolls for about $26 so it's a great deal. It comes with a special soy sauce that tastes amazing. If we had to choose, the avocado kimbap is our favorite. This is a takeout spot but service is fast. If it's the weekend and parking is difficult to find, you can call ahead to place an order.

One of my favorite spots in ktown. I like the spicy pork the best. Best kimbabs in town. I drive 30mins for it.

Food is very good. Been coming here since pre covid times. I love to order ahead by phone and I usually get my food done by the time I get there. There is parking but it's valet. If you are only picking up, let them know and they will let you park there for a while to get your food. I wished they opened the restaurant like before with the indoor seating but I understand to keep the cost of the food down, they kept it a to go moto.

really love their tuna! The spicy pork is a bit too hot for me, and I'm not a fan of the ground beef. The prices are affordable, and the food has an authentic Korean taste. The only downside is that the restaurant is tucked away in an alley, so it's a bit hard to find.

These kimbaps are really good! Great ratio of filling to rice, delicious ingredients, good price for what you get, fast and friendly service. We ordered several rolls to bring back home to the family. Beef, spicy pork, spicy chicken, squid. My favorite was the beef, which wasn't spicy at all. I think the hit at the house was spicy pork and squid though. Everyone seemed to love them most. Least favorite was the spicy chicken which was overpoweringly spicy. Leftovers held over well the next day, and my sister even took some to work for lunch the next day. I'd come here all the time for an easy portable to go on the run if it were nearby.

I ordered the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi Kimbap for pick up during my lunch break. The lady over the phone was kind and patient with me. My order was ready and warm when I had it. I will deficiently return again, I hope that next time it's not raining and I can dine in
