    Seating area.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This place is so awesome! I got a bowl of udon and side of gimbap for $23 total. The interior is cozy, the service is awesome, and the food is perfect. This was a perfect place to catch up with an old friend, given it was comfortable and very calm.

    Pork Cutlet

    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!

    Steamed dumplings
    Maggie P.

    Since there's a great variety of premade food, service was very fast and friendly. We also ordered hot dishes which were delicious - everything was fresh. Clean shop with limited seating, would not recommend for large parties (5+). Parking is limited due to the plaza. Portions are a bit small for the price point but would definitely visit again!

    Eva L.

    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. Parking is a bit limited because it's in a small lot

    This is a cozy restaurant that is perfect for families to come to and friends to hang out in. The food is amazing, affordable, and presented beautifully. The service is fantastic as well... Oy feels like home, honestly speaking. I will take that this is family owned as the staff is like your mom making you home-cooked meals... With love and patience.

We often had to get up and look for a server, which made things a bit inconvenient. That said, the food was definitely the highlight. The soy garlic chicken wings were really good flavorful and well-executed. The fries also stood out and were surprisingly one of our favorite items. The ambience is pretty chill, with enough space for everyone to have their own conversations without it feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, the food is worth trying, but just be prepared for slower service, especially during busier times.

Are the servers nice? NO! Is the price decent? NO! Here's my reasoning: I used to bring my grandfather here because he loved their soup. If I didn't bring him I would buy the galbi tang and take it to him. And back then the service was amazing, the ajummas were so nice and would get you extra servings of banchan and brisket sauce but sadly throughout the years they've become very stingy and just plain out rude. I understand the cost of inflation and it's very real but I used to get their galbi tang for less than $10. At this rate it's costing me $27 for a bowl of soup and no extra gimme with not even a smile. Will I still be back? Yes but not like before. With the competition out here there are other places to go but I do keep coming back. Oh what's a girl to do. Will I recommend this place? That's a hard NO.
