My friend recommended Baro Gimbap for lunch during the weekday. The space is small and kept really clean. I ordered the tteokbokki gimbap combo and a 2 piece fish cake skewer. The food came out pretty quickly. The tteobokki was cooked perfectly and really chewy. The gimbap was solid and the fish skewers were really good. The staff was helpful when I had questions about the menu. My main complaint was that the space was too cold. The AC unit is definitely oversized for the small space. read more

My friend and I visited for the first time. When we walked in, there were hardly any customers, but no one greeted us or explained how to order. We waited for about 10 minutes before asking, and only then were we told to order at the counter. As first-time customers, there was no way for us to know, so it left a very poor first impression. We ordered the kimchi pork kimbap, sundae, and jjolmyeon. The kimbap had a slightly off smell, but we ate it anyway. Unfortunately, I had diarrhea for the rest of the day afterward. The restaurant was also extremely cold. I politely asked for a small cup of fish cake broth to warm up, but my request was refused. The jjolmyeon was also very bland, so we asked for a little more sauce. Instead, we were asked, "Do you normally eat salty food?" We don't. The dish was simply under-seasoned, and the response felt unnecessary. The tall Korean woman with yellow hair wearing a headscarf was very rude. She seemed annoyed whenever we asked a simple question and also spoke rudely to the other employees, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the food and the service. I won't be coming back. read more

This place is more than a kimpbap place. They have tteokbokki (떡볶이), fishcake skewers, udon, dumplings, noodles, etc... Very friendly lady at the register. Cute little place to meet friends. Not to seat around for long time since the bench style chairs do not have cushion. Need to make mental note to bring my own cushion next time. read more

I came here with my parents on a Friday! The lady working the front is the sweetest. I also love that you're able to grab prepackaged things while you wait in line to order. It's a pretty small restaurant but about 5-6 small parties of 2-4 people will be able to find seating. Everything came out fresh and hot! We got the kimchi fried rice and the teokbokki. It was so flavorful. The rice cakes were so soft and chewy. The sauce was a perfect balance too. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving Korean food! read more

Hidden gem! This adorable mom and pop Korean spot is perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal or a casual dine-in. The menu is packed with great options--kimbap, noodles, tteokbokki, and more. We ended up getting the bulgogi kimbap and sweet potatoes for the little ones, and everything hit the spot. The kimbap was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to! read more

Cute little spot with plenty of gimbaps and banchans to make your bellies full. The shop itself is small so seatiings are tight so mainly people do take outs but you can dine in if there are seats available. Their gimbaps selection was good, giving you options to do singles or combos with noodles or tteokbokkis. We decided to grab a few of their banchans (which are pre-packaged for takeouts), original tteokbooki and spicy pork gimbap - they were all yummy! Would definitely return to try their other selections. Service: 5/5 Parking: 4/5 (can be tight since the area is small) Price: 4/5 (banchan is a bit pricy but the quality makes up for the pricing) Food: 5/5 read more

Very chic look and great place for some Gimbap. The place in a small plaza so parking can be a hit or miss. Clean and spacious and well organized shop. Self service on to go upon entrance to for available. There is a menu or highly call in for order so you will be guaranteed to have what you want. When we went, it almost noon so not much left but still good for quick snacks for the road. They do have dine in area and you can ordered and paid ahead of time. The place is pleasantly quite nice. Service is nice and quick. The foods are quite tasty and very goods, love it. The bottle of juice(s) are very refreshing and just deliahtful. Prices can be on the high end side but so worth it. read more

There are quite a few places selling kimbap and banchan in the area, but I keep going back to Baro Gimbap for a few items. My favorite is a newer menu item here, yuksu bulgogi. I also really enjoy the mini egg kimbap, spicy tuna kimbap, perilla oil noodles, and sashimi rice bowl. Note that before 9 am they only have kimbap and whatever banchan they have in the fridge area; you have to come after 9 am to order noodles. Expect a 10-15 min wait for most hot food orders. The interior is small but clean. I usually just get my food to go, but there are a few tables inside for those who would like to dine in. read more

Baro Gimbap - Menu - Korean Near Me - Fullerton, California

I wouldn't have known this place if it were not for a friend of mine. They recommended the fish cake soup and their kimbap. I've had my share of both items and still have yet to find a place to beat the local restaurant by my area. First off this place is clean and freezing inside! You walk in and all the variety of kimbaps are along the left wall with various shelved items (perilla leave oil, sesame oil, dried anchovies, etc..) To your right are the tables and an area where you put your trays back. Why am I tipping again if I put my trays back? Nope, were not in Covid days anymore, sorry but no. I've worked in the Food & Beverage business and I get it, but if I didn't serve you or clean up after you and come around to ask I d you ned anything I don't think I will get a tip. That's just my opinion. Now if you're really friendly and you still didn't serve me or wait on me then maybe. But not this time homey. Back to the food...The fishcake as good, the broth I could careless about. But it's very important for the broth to be tasty you may say. Why yes it is! That's true, but sometime the fishcake is enough. In this case it was enough for me to say okay, I like it. Would I come here for fishcake? Answer is no. The soup is light and you can still taste the raddish but it's not to the point where you can get juggy just with the soup. Sorry, but the fishcake inside H-mart has more flavor. IYKYK!! Kimbap, I ordered the egg one. Boy was that the most plainest kimbap I've ever tasted. I knew I should have tried the bulgolgi one. I also tried the combo one and it was the same. There was no flavor. I had to dip it in the soy sauce. The kimbaps needed sesame flavor in them!! To each their own I guess. Come give it a try and lemme know what you think. I'm curious if it's just a one off day here. read more

Baro Gimbap is a grab-n-go Korean spot located on the a plaza on Orangethorpe in Fullerton. They offer a bunch of ready-to-eat appetizers, such as potato salads, kimchi, etc. as well as ready-to-eat gimbap. They also offer a few combo deals where you can grab a gimbap and one of their hot food items, such as the fish cake skewers! Inside, it's a bit cramped but there are a few tables to sit down and eat if you aren't into the whole grab-n-go thing. Service is quick and checkout is really easy. For my visit, I had both their odeng and their spicy odeng gimbap, as well as combining one for the deal where we could get fish cake skewers. Everything was delicious! My personal favorite part was the spicy odeng gimbap, which had the exact kick I was looking for along with the satisfying crunch from the veggies. The portion is fairly large for how much it costs ($7 for spicy odeng, $6 for odeng). Another thing I have to highlight is the fish cake skewers in the soup. These were so soft and light, and tasted great! Sipping the soup as you're eating the skewers really makes for an amazing experience. Overall, I loved my visit to Baro Gimbap. I recommend everyone give it a try, even if you aren't a big fan of gimbap! I want to come back and try their cutlet!! 9/10! read more

Really big portions and great flavor. The service is great and the selection pretty decent. We did come a bit later, and they were limited in their selection of kimbap, but we found the egg kimbap that we got to be flavorful and well wrapped. The store itself is located in a small strip mall off Orangethorpe but is super cute inside and out. We'll be back for sure! read more

Delicious kimbap and kalguksu (knife cut noodles)! They have premade kimbap if you want to take your order to go and there's dine-in options as well. My favorite is their tuna kimbap and egg. My husband tried their kalguksu (knife cut noodles) and the broth and noodles were very good. The kimbap prices are a bit on the higher end, but I can tell that they use delicious and quality ingredients. Credit cards are accepted.

Yelp hooked me up! I was hungry for breakfast but (for once) I didn't feel like a traditional one. So Yelp sent me here. The parking lot is sketchy like dangerous people around. And in between a laundromat and a Mexican bakery is Baro. They have a beautiful door and you can see inside that it's warm and inviting, and clean. I was going to eat while driving but the place is very inviting. The huge menu is on the wall. My mouth was already primed for kimbap so that's what I ordered. One gabo and one egg. They were still warm. Delicious? Yes and stuffed with filling. Beautiful perfect rolls. No soy sauce necessary and not dry like rolls made hours ago. I ate half of each tray and took the rest home. What a find! read more

Ordered alot today. Food doesn't taste as good as when the night crew is here. Spent close to $60. I think they raised their combo price. Was $15 now $18.50. Got two fishcake and udon. Alao got two mini anchovyn kimbaps. It tasted old. Not good. But i drove away so too far to return. I am only going to try eating there after 5pm to see if the taste returns to being delicious. read more

I am down bummed that I never got to take picture of the party tray that I ordered. I ordered party tray#4 I believe, which was $67. It was for a playdate with bunch of kids with the parents. I asked if I could switch out one of the kimbap option to different kind since it was going to be for non Koreans who are nor familiar with Korean food. And they accommodated it! The food was ready for pick up when I went in to get it right on time. Everyone really enjoyed it and they were all gone even before I realized I didn't get a picture. I would definitely go back to order more of those party menu for the party or family gatherings!:) read more

Cute little Korean shop and love the variety of kimbap they have! I also love that they have normal and mini sized options. Everything had good flavor and tasted so fresh. read more

The kimbap here is 5/5! The price for the quality is also very reasonable. I've tried the tuna, the bulgogi, the gobo, the odaeng, and the mini little kimbaps. They are all super good and nothing can beat a $6 gobo kimbap. My toddler absolutely loves loves loves the mini little kimbaps. I've also gotten their spicy marinated crab twice now and think it's priced really well for a good hefty portion. Although the food is good, I had to take off a star for their service. Similar to other reviews, I've been here several times now and unfortunately each time the same employee there has been very, very unpleasant. It was as if me being there and ordering was a bother/burden for her. However, the food and pricing is good enough to look past that and I will likely continue to come again in the future. The party boxes of assorted kimbaps look so beautiful. I have this on the shortlist of what to get for when we have a small gathering or event at home in the future. read more

Food: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 8/10 ok i usually don't like reviewing bad reviews, but this place is mid. im korean and i love kimbap, but I went to this place 2-3 times and was disappointed each time. I wanted yo really like the place so that it could be my go-to (and maybe for some side dishes too) but .. yeah i was only disappointed. SO IF UR GOING FOR KIMBAP.. just know what ur going for. BUT i didn't try the other stuff on their menu so just take my word for the kimbaps read more

Small, simple, and cozy spot. I stopped by during my lunch break and loved how many gimbap options and sides they had to choose from. I ended up getting the bulgogi gimbap and the potato salad--both were really good. I've dined in before and had the cold noodles, which were also delicious. It's a great place to grab lunch to-go or sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is nice and answer any questions you may have. read more

Highly recommend this spot in Buena Park! Kind of hole in the wall ish. They have a variety of options, but my favorite is the big selection of kimbap that you can either have made fresh or you can just pick a pre-made one earlier in the day. Also recommend their celebration noodle and tteok! read more

First time here, service was fast and friendly! Food was great, my favorite was the anchovy gimbap, and there are so many other options to try.

Such a nostalgic and cute little shop. It's clean, well organized, and service was prompt and efficient. We really enjoyed the variety of kimbap fillings and Baro Gimbap's makes this place great bang for buck! For 3 people, we ordered a mini kimbap, regular sized kimbap, rose tteokbokki, and spicy cold chewy noodle to share, and it was such a delicious and plentiful feast! If it wasn't for the fact that we were going to be out and about the rest of the day, I would have picked up additional boxes on the way out to enjoy later. So many different fillings, and not enough stomach space to enjoy all my favorites. I'll definitely come back again when I'm craving Korean food! read more

We were in the mood for some kimbap, and were in the Fullerton area, so we came here and tried it. My wife ordered the pork cutlet, 8/10. I got the combo with udon and fish cake kimbap, 9/10, which was very good. The combo had everything fresh from the kimbap to the udon. We will be back, and we 100% recommend it if you're in the Orange County area. read more

Baro Gimbap - Party Tray - Korean Near Me - Fullerton, California

On a Friday around lunchtime, there was a great selection of kimbaps made and available grab & go. They were out of the bulgogi at the time, but had a wide array of side dishes to choose from as well. Luckily, by the time we went to checkout, there was some fresh bulgogi kimbap being brought out! That being said, the bulgogi kimbap was good, but not as great as some hyped it up to be. The meat itself wasn't as sweet or aromatic as I was expecting. It actually reminded me of hamburger meat, as some other reviews mentioned it's "smoky" taste. Though the other fillings were great and well balanced. The spicy odeng was my favorite, as the fish cake (odeng) stood out among its other ingredients. The only thing - it is truly spicy, not like the "spicy fish cake" you may buy at Hmart. The spicy creeps up and lingers a bit, but you can always balance it out with one of their sides or other kimbaps. The seasoned dried squid provided some spice relief and was definitely seasoned well. This roll included another type of herb/green that I couldn't identify that gave it a slight bitterness. If I lived closer, I would come back to try other kimbaps and possibly their kitchen order dishes as well. read more

I found a new korean kimbop specialty, K snack restaurant in Fullerton. It was around 9:30 Sat morning, so many customers took out the foods early morning. It was only my husband and I ate at the table 2 different kimbops, anchovy, fish cake, and pork cutlet. Ambiance is bright, casual, decent but tiny. The wooden tables and chairs are main concept of interior of this restaurant. They have a huge menu on the wall, noodles, entrees, snacks, and Party size of assortments of kimbop, etc. Once you entered, you will see the korean side dishes such as seasoned pickles, traditional popular side dishes, and some dry powder typed meal replacement packages. I told the staff at the cashier, we will eat here, she said pick any your kimbops and order other foods. She looked unfriendly, overwhelmed. I felt uncomfortable. The anchovy kimbop was good, fresh made this morning, pork cutlet was crunchy, perfect balance w dipping sauce, accompanied with fresh cooked rice. My husband liked the foods. Two things I didn't like were the parking and service. It was tough to park in the small strip busy mall where the liquor store, laundry store, and some deli bakery were together. The service was not good. No smiles!!! They don't care about the customer service....so many customers are in and out from early morning???? Pros Business hour: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Variety of kimbops: 4 stars Cons Parking: hard....tough Service: not welcoming attitude read more

I saw the party boxes on Instagram and was really interested to try their gimbap. I ordered 5 gimbap togo, and the service was very friendly! They were missing my kimchi order, but swiftly made it for me. Overall, I found each gimbap to be great in flavor and freshly made with care! I am definitely going to come back and I'm interested in trying the rest of their menu. Oden - 5/5, one of my favorites!! I noticed many reviews said good things about the fish cake gimbap so I wanted to try it. It is SO GOOD, the flavor was really nice! Spam - 5/5, I love spam! This was really tasty, I expect that it's popular with children. Gobo (burdock root) - 5/5, I wasn't expecting to like this so much but the root is marinated really well and very tender! A great vegetarian option. Kimchi - 4/5, good flavor, more on the fermented sour side! I just liked the other gimbaps more. Bulgogi - 3/5, good but I personally I didn't like the smoky flavor as much as the other. It was a favorite with the dinner guests. read more

Extremely rude service. The lady at the counter made it clear from the moment we walked in that she didn't want us there. The space is too tight for a comfortable meal, especially with kids. If your child makes even a little noise, expect glares and an attitude. When my toddler had a hard time, the attitude we received was the final straw. Definitely not a welcoming or family-friendly environment. The food was average--nothing stood out and it certainly didn't make up for the poor service read more

My wife found this spot last week thru Instagram and we decided to find out the foods early today. First, tough to park the car, some parking spots only for 30 mins for pick up only, most of spots were taken. It was early morning 9:30 Saturday for brunch, I noticed many customers picked up the foods, looked so busy. We picked 2 kimbops, anchovy and fish cakes. I ordered pork cutlet. I liked all the foods but my pick was cutlet. Crunchy!! The sauce was well balanced w cutlets, even kimbops. My wife is always concerened about the service. She didn't like their service. Unfriendly, unwelcoming!! Well, we discovered a new Korean kimbop, snack restaurant near our home. I expect more friendly service at the cashier next time. The parking is not easy there. Too busy, tiny....many 30 mins only spots. How can you park to dine in??? The business opens at 8, close at 8. This is a great point for the customers who need to eat early morning. Overall the quality of foods are good. Variety of kimbops, tempura, ddeokbokki, and noodles....some side dishes you can buy. Hopefully the service is friendly and more customers are happy to eat there. read more

The old Korean cashier woman is too rude and so ruined every customer's mood today around 4pm. I went here with mom. Other old Korean women in the line also said why she was so rude? Did we do something wrong? I am curious what's wrong with her today? I am not asking kindness at all for togo kimbaps but her stare is very creepy and not even answering or responding at all. I had to ask several times for ordering certain kimbap and paying at the cashier. Won't recommend this place and will let others in Korean community know this bad experience. There are many kimbap places way better than this with worst experience!! If you don't want to ruin your day, DO NOT visit this horrible place until she got fired. If she is the owner, that's more problematic. read more
