Sue’s Korean Kitchen

Delicious food! Kimbap is freshly made and stuffed with goodies. Potato salad is delicious. Kimchi is fresh and more of the bitter type. Kalbi was just ok, a bit burnt and not that much meat :(

Don't be fooled by reviews, this isn't a MUST GO Korean hole in the wall spot (my expectations based on reviews).I had the Bibimap. Only the beef, rice, sprouts and cucumbers were good. The rest was bland and unappealing. The egg was old and fried scrambled egg!The proportions are way too large. I don't like paying $17 for lunch, and despite the disappointing veggies would gladly return if there was half as much food for like $10. I dislike wasting food, and just can't fathom one person eating their proportions. It's sad that the reviews either lie, or that some people actually rate this food 5/5 as if all they have at home is top ramen and spam!

Our fav korean spot in SD! Authentic, no frills, and takeout only but there are plenty of tables outside. Lots of parking. The ahjumma (cashier) is always so nice with a smile on her face! There's tofu soup, bibimbap, fried rice, katsu, etc. they also sell banchan (side dishes).We've tried the katsu, seafood tofu soup (soondubu), Korean pancake, kimbap, and fried dumplings. Everything is fresh, full of flavor, and hits the spot! 100% Korean approved!

My wife and I stumbled upon a cozy little Korean food spot in the food court area. The place is small and caters exclusively to takeout orders. The employees were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We decided to try their japchae and bibimbap with beef. My wife raved about the japchae, and even the bibimbap I ordered was a delightful surprise. Both dishes were bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. As an added bonus, they also sell kimchi, rice cakes, and other delectable side dishes stored in their fridge. My wife couldn't resist taking some home. We're definitely planning to return, not just for the main dishes but also for those tempting side dishes. It'll become our go-to spot for the side dishes rather than those other Asian stores.Great service with delicious food!

Located in the Food Court at Plaza Sorrento is a local mom and pop to-go eatery that specializes in Korean comfort food. My daughter and I were in a mood for Gimbap, so I decided to try out this place. I picked up 2 orders that each had 2 large rolls, each cut into 8 pieces. The cost was $12.99 per order, which was very reasonable. They were really fresh and tasted great! Definitely hit the spot! I will be back to try other stuff next time.The space is really small and the menu is limited. They have a refrigerator that has all kinds of Korean side dishes for sale. The 2 ladies who own and run the store were both really nice.While there were no seating available inside the small unit, there was an abundance of tables in the shared courtyard.

I love supporting small mom and pop stores and this one has great food! The food is sooo good and they give you so much for the price! I got the gimbap and pork bibimbap and both were so good. When you enter, there's a fridge with a ton of side dishes ranging from $5-$10. I didn't grab any this time, but I'll definitely try some next time.

Rating: 9.5/10Delicious homemade Korean food, fresh and comforting! Bf and I came to pick up some food on a Saturday at 6:30PM. There were two people ahead of us and only one person making food. In the fridge to the left, there were many different types of banchan that I will definitely be back to try. The menu is small but has many safe and delicious options.1) Bibimbap (Cup Bop): 9.5/10. A huge portion filled with various crunchy and soft textures. Rice was well cooked and sauce perfectly tied together all the different components of the bibimbap. A safe option for all to enjoy.2) Kimchi Pancake: 9.5/10. Made fresh by Miss Sue in the back. Was very delicious and perfectly seasoned. We ate it 20 minutes after getting the order, so the pancakes were a little bit soggy but the edges were still very crispy. Not spicy, and we dipped it in the bibimbap sauce, which made it even more yummy.3) Kimbap: 9.5/10. Very big pieces (which I love) with lots of filling inside. There is a crunchy texture inside that makes this so addicting. We dipped this in the bibimbap sauce that came with the bibimbap, but I wish that there was a sauce included with just the kimbap.Miss Sue behind the counter was working so hard to get our food out to us quickly. Such a cute and modest restaurant, but I can feel the hard work and enthusiasm to serve delicious Korean food to their customers. Please come and support, they deserve only amazing things!!!

Hidden gem! Sue's kitchen is a genuine mom and pop! The food is flavorful and fresh. This is a counter. There is a couple of outdoor tables that are shared between different restaurants. The service is quick. I liked that you can get authentic kimchi to-go. The kimchi spicy and delicious. We ordered the kimchi pancake, Gimbap, and silken, tofu soup. I don't eat meat, and I ordered the vegetable Gimbap and it had a little piece of ham in it. It wasn't a big deal because I poked out the ham, but if you're vegetarian, definitely double check. I recommend this place and will be back.

I've been looking all over San Diego for a good Korean spot and I think I've found it. I grew up in LA/OC so I have high expectations, and the prices and homemade taste of the food at Sue's Kitchen doesn't disappoint.Lunch special prices Monday to Friday until 2:30 - huge portions for an amazing price.Tofu soup (lunch special), seafood: pretty spicy. Interestingly contains carrots and zucchini which I haven't encountered before but not complaining. Amazingly soft and flavorful tofu, wouldn't be surprised if it was made in house. Broth is not very salty surprisingly. Only wish it had more seafood: had 1 mussel and 1 small shrimp.Cut bap (lunch special): HUGE portion, so big that it takes up two containers! I loved the potato and mushroom side dishes. Beef is a tad bit sweet for my taste but not bad.Gimbap (regular menu): comparatively a bit pricier at $13 but the best thing on the menu. Huge pieces, delicious. I think there's imitation crab, spam, fish cake as meat.To-go orders only but there is outdoor seating in the plaza. Came on Thursday and waited maybe 15 min for our food.Overall very homemade tasting, generous portion sizes, and happy to support a small business!

Food was really good. The kimchee pancakes were very good and hit the spot. Service was good. Side dishes were good. I would definitely go back!
