First time ordering kimbap from Bobjip for a family potluck. Called to confirm that they open on July 4th (much appreciated for opening on a holiday). Then ordered 6 rolls kimbap from their website on July 3rd. When I got to the east bay eat building, I wasn't sure how to pick up, but there was staff at the front who helped me get the order. Everyone enjoyed the kimbap! All the flavors I got were tasty! Original, veggies, beef and kimchi tuna mayo. Would order again, perfect for potluck! read more

We absolutely loved the Rose Tteokbokki! The sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being overwhelmingly spicy. My daughter really enjoyed it, which says a lot because she's usually sensitive to spicy food. It had just the right amount of heat for both kids and adults to enjoy. The rice cakes were perfectly chewy, and the overall flavor was comforting and delicious. We live in Pleasanton, and they even deliver to us through Uber Eats. Even with the extra delivery fees, it was absolutely worth it. That's a huge bonus since we don't have to drive out to get it. We'll definitely be ordering it again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a creamy, flavorful tteokbokki that's not too spicy! read more

Ordered takeout from here and had a great experience! Food was fresh and a really generous portion for the price. :) We ordered gimmari, the bulgogi deopbap, and a bento with mandu. Gimmari was excellent, and so was the deopbap! The bento was really generously portioned; I couldn't finish and saved the rest for a snack later. Everything was perfect, though the kimbap in the bento was a tad dry, which is why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars. Still a great find tho! Will def order again if I'm having the craving for Korean food. read more

Ordered takeout through Doordash and the food looked just as good as the pictures. We got the Dakgangjeong chicken, tteokbokki with fish cakes, beef kimbap, and 2 very generous helpings of pickled daikon (which I really appreciated). Overall, everything was pretty good - the Korean fried chicken had a nice sweet flavor, the tteokbokki had a rich seafood taste, and the kimbap's rice was well seasoned. For to-go food, it hit the spot - definitely a go-to option for nights when we're too lazy to cook. read more

The food quality felt inconsistent. Compared to what I've had before, this classic one had way too many carrots and lettuce, while the egg and spinach were barely noticeable. :( read more

Bobjip - It's a classic, but it had way too many carrots and lettuce. I could barely find any egg or spinach. :( - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hayward, California

Yuk-gae-jang (spicy beef soup): 5/5 Full heat and full flavor! Kimbap: 5/5 Tight construction, packed with ingredients, and so many options. The kimchi tuna and spicy pork were the favorites. Fried chicken: 3/5 Lacked crunch (boxes not vented), but both the spicy and plain were tasty. Does not come with pickles. Jjajang myeon: 2/5 Too sweet. I found it difficult to finish. read more

This is a ghost kitchen associated with East Bay Eats! Ordered online and the pickup was easy and seamless! There are tables inside and outside to eat, but most people seem to do take-out like I did. I ordered 2 rolls of kimbap (one spicy pork, one tuna mayo with kimchi), the rose tteokbokki, and a jjajangmyeon. Kimbap 8/10 - flavorful and tasty! Had all the fixings of a traditional kimbap, and their rice was still nice and soft. Perfect for a quick lunch! Rose tteokbokki 9/10 - a larger portion than I expected lol. This was my favorite thing that we ordered, and I'm usually not a fan of tteokbokki! Chewy rice cakes in a creamy, spicy sauce topped with bacon. Yum, I couldn't stop eating this. I just wish they cut the fish cake slightly smaller! Jjajangmyeon 6/10 - It was hard to call this jjajangmyeon to be honest, didn't have that black bean flavor that I associate with this dish - really had more of a salty, soy sauce (??) flavor rather than the deep, rich flavor you get from black bean sauce. The noodles, however, had the perfect chew and bounce to them! read more

Didn't taste right, something felt off. The spicy rice cake was also hella watered down/ soupy. & The black bean noodles were just alright maybe it's because we ordered takeout or ordered the wrong stuff but would like to try this place out again read more

Bobjip - Jjangmyum - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hayward, California

There's not too much Korean food in Hayward, so I was really excited to find Bobjip. I'm usually a little skeptical about ghost kitchens, but Bobjip serves high quality Korean food! We've ordered take out a few times and our favorites are: -Rose Tteokbokki: Rich, creamy, and just the right about of spice! The rice cake is also cooked very well and is still chewy even when it's soaking in the sauce. -Dakgangjeong: Korean fried chicken covered in sweet and spicy sauce. I love that it's boneless! Really easy to eat. -Jajangmyeon: I love how they separate the noodles from the black bean sauce. Would recommend mixing the noodles immediately so they don't stick together. My only gripe is that they can be a little slow, so definitely order in advance. Also the pick up system is a little confusing, so be sure to come with your order number ready! read more

Would definitely get kimbap here again! Ordered these on doordash and took about 20 min to be ready. Pick up was simple and fast. We got the 3 rolls for $30. Classic 4/5 This was imitation crab and the usual fixings. Tasty and delicious and well classic. lol. I'd prefer if it was fishcake though instead of the crab. Beef 4.5/5 The bulgogi in here was seasoned well so blended perfectly with the pickles and other stuffings. I would definitely get this one over and over. Spam and cheese 3/5 I can't currently have kimchi as I would have preferred spam and kimchi. The American cheese is just too overpowering and off putting to me but the spam was delicious as always. Overall, good kimbap for a great value. Don't plan on eating here as it is a ghost kitchen although there were bathrooms and tables inside. read more

The ros tteokbokki is soo good. It's creamy, has a ton of thin fish cakes, the crumbled bacon on top and the rice cake itself has a good chew. We also ordered the spam kimbap and it was light and refreshing. And the mochi cheese ball is a good app. And you dip it in the cheese powder and it gives it the flavor. read more

Saw a video for Bobjip on instagram, so decided to try it. It's one of the many ghost kitchens located inside of East Bay Eats. - Kimbap: flavorful and comes with many pieces - Bibimbap: is missing the crunch you get with a regular bibimbap in the stone pot, but was still flavorful - Soft tofu soup: delicious and filling Miscellaneous: - Unisex bathrooms located in the back - Only indoor seating available (2 high tables and 4 regular tables) - Parking available via a shared parking lot read more

Bobjip is a part of a ghost kitchen!! Just so you know what to expect! We placed an order of their website for pick-up, however, there were seats there available if you do want to grab your food and eat it there immediately. We got the jajangmyeon, rosé tteokbokki and bulgogi kimbap. They were all very yummy! I especially liked the tteokbokki - it's kind of like a cheeseburger, just with rice cakes lol. Will definitely order again! read more

Got the Mix & Match Combo Kimbap with a beef, unagi, and bobjip special. I was most excited for the bobjip special but it ended up being my LEAST favorite. Beef was solid and I'd be open to getting it again and the unagi had the most flavor and is probably my number 1 for now. Also, keep in mind Bobjip is part of a ghost kitchen. If you order online, keep your receipt because you'll have to scan it on their machine and it'll pop open a locker where you'll grab your food. read more

Such a great spot for Korean food that I wish more people knew about. The portions are quite generous which matches the price of their items. The tteokbokki lasted me a few days and the amount of chicken they give for the Dakgangjeong is a lot!! Everything came out piping hot and full of comforting sweet, savory, spicy korean flavors. The chicken was super flavorful, tender, and juicy. Rice cakes were perfectly cooked and swimming in a delicious sauce. The kimchi fried rice honestly wasn't my favorite, as it had a weird cheesy flavor. However, everything else really made up for it. Also tried their potato tornado which was fun to eat and a delicious snack. When you arrive, you can order in the kiosk! I think you can also order ahead online. The whole process went smoothly. Overall a really great hidden gem for tasty korean food! read more

I actually didn't discover this spot until I found it on doordash, and it did NOT disappoint. It's like a ghost kitchen where you can order ahead and pickup, or get delivery via doordash. Our favorite dishes here include the rose teokkbokki, the kimchi fried rice, the kimbap, and the jajangmyeon (the black noodles). Another great dish is the deep fried vermicelli noodle rolls, and the fried chicken. Pros: - AMAZING TASTING FOOD, it never disappoints and always hits the right spot. I purposely keep the rose spicy rice cake sauce even after I eat the food in it, and I put it on rice because it's so good! The kimchi fried rice has a good flavor without being too spicy. - Fantastic portions for the large dishes, totally worth the price. You could definitely share 2 dishes between 2 people and be super full and satiated. Most dishes are under $20 - Really good packaging for delivery - everything is super secure, the jajangmyeon noodles dish comes with the sauce separated from the noodles just like it should be. - Really consistent quality between multiple orders honestly 10/10 will keep coming for the texture of the spicy rice cakes read more

This place is located in East Bay Eats so it's also surrounded near other food booths. It's a self-order place with a korean food menu! They had a lot of choices from kimbap, rice bowls, tofu soup, tteokbokki, etc. We ordered fast and our food came out in a timely manner. read more

Did you know downtown Hayward has a food hall called @eastbayeatshayward that has over 15 restaurants to order from? @_bobjip is a Korean restaurant on the list and they did not disappoint! Every dish we tried was really good and I'm happy to say I finally found a spot to get my Korean food fix in the area! The menu has SO much to choose from and there's still so many more items that I already want to go back and try. * Dakgangjeong (Sweet Crispy Korean Fried Chicken) * Wang Yubu Chobap-Mix & Match Combo * Kimbap Spam & Kimchi * Musubi-Spam & Egg * Gun-Man-Du * Tteokbokki read more

Okay I came back and have ordered 3 times and the update is... no soap taste! I really hope my previous review helped this! So thank you if you heard this Bobjip! I had ordered the 3 roll kimbap and it was the one that tasted soapy and it doesn't at all now! I love this spot because I love Korean style street food. It takes me back to my times as a student studying in Korea ordering street food late night with friends. They also have jajang myeon which I missed so much when ordering delivery, seaweed rolls when dipped in tteokboki is sooo good, and a variety of kimbap that I don't see that often. I just wish they had those big kimchi mandus I often had for lunch, they were so huge! I highly recommend this spot if you want to try something a little different from typical Korean restaurants and nostalgic to Korean street food. read more

To order food, there's 2 kiosks up front that are cashless! There's seats to the left of the kiosks and to the right of them are lockers for pick up (i'm guessing online orders) Food: I ordered kimchi fried rice (comes with a fried egg), beef kimbap, and peach milkis. The kimchi fried rice was good, but there wasn't an option to add cheese on top and I feel the spam was very sparse. The flavor is there though! The kimbap was perfect, loved how refreshing it was in a hot day :) And you can't go wrong with the peach milkis! I was surprised to see that a banana milkis exists I took my food to go, i think all orders are togo (I didn't have an option for togo or dine in when ordering) Overall, great place for delicious korean food especially kimbap! Would definitely come back again to try the jajangmyeong read more

I decided to check out this place since I've been seeing other foodie influencers post about Bobjip. Just walk into East Bay Eats, choose Bobjip in the kiosk, and order from there. The menu looked a bit expensive at first, but now I understand because each portion can feed more than 2 people. Family style. What I ordered: Bobjip Special Kimbap (spam and veggie)- so good, I can eat this for days Dakgangjeong (sweet & spicy Korean Fried Chicken)- the sauce is a bit spicy for me, but I love how the crispy fried chicken goes well with fried Tteokbokki and peanut toppings. Jjajang Myeon- love the sauce texture with generous purple onions and meat. Less salty. I expected julienned cucumbers, but I'm fine with yellow pickled radish. Also, I love this type of container. Tteokbokki- I cried at every bite I took because it was too spicy for me. Others think it's medium hot when I rate it as level 3 spicy. Very generous on the fish cakes though. BTS Cold Brew (Jimin)- too cute to open, so I left it in the fridge to consume the next morning. The service is focused on pickup and delivery since East Bay Eats is a ghost kitchen/mini cafeteria. It took 25 minutes to prepare all the items, better than waiting over 30 minutes in a Korean restaurant. Surprisingly, the food remained warm from an hour of traffic. read more

I wanted to check this place out since not a lot of places sells yubu, and their concept is similar to a local kitchens. I got the yubu mix & match combo which consists of: spicy tuna, bulgogi, and unagi. Out of the three, I like the bulgogi the best. I felt like the spicy tuna didn't taste like much and the unagi was too fishy for me. The tteokbokki was actually not bad. It was my favorite out of everything we got. It was chewy and mildly spicy. The tuna mayo kimbap tastes like a tuna sandwich. The wait time was between 5-10 min, and their service was quick and easy. Every time you order from the kiosk, you would pick it up and they scan the bag indicating that you got what you order. read more

Food - 5/5 Service - NA Ambiance - NA I found this place through DoorDash, ordered three different kinds of kimbap + tang su yuk + tteokbokki. Kimbap was SO GOOD. I was surprised to see how the inside of the kimbap was so full of ingredients! Tang su yuk was great except the sauce was a bit sour. Tteokbokki was a bit spicy but yummy still. Highly recommend and would re-order from this place again!!! read more

I ordered through DoorDash and they sent me the wrong order. I ordered the beef and the tuna kimchi kimbap. I did not receive the tuna kimchi kimbap, instead I received something else, not sure what it was but it's no longer on the menu. DoorDash did refund me for that menu item. Other than that, the beef kimbap was delicious. read more

I got tuna kimbap and wings through door dash. There was lettuce in the kimbap and that's not normal. Despite that I ordered wings, I got drumsticks. Not only that the batter had slight Chinese five spice flavor. The food is good. However, if you were wanting authentic Korean flavor, I cannot recommend this place. read more

Definitely worth the price. read more

We came here on a weeknight and it was one of the few food places that we liked here. My partner ordered the spam musubi and the unagi bowl. He liked both of them saying they were fresh and had good flavors. He especially liked the unagi bowl, which had good flavors. I think the only drawback is that this establishment is part of the East Bay Eats, and so it can unpredictable as to the seating and the wait times. read more

Either Yelp recommended Bobjip to me or it came up on my search when I was looking at new "Hot & New Restaurants". Bobjip is available via pick-up at East Bay Eats or there's a delivery option as well. It doesn't have a store front, but there's tons of restaurants under this one roof. I think the concept is similar to a ghost kitchen/cloud kitchen. It's located right next to a parking lot, so plenty of parking available for a quick pick-up. Between the two of us, we ordered the Mix & Match Combo Kimbap and a medium order of Dakgangjeong (Sweet Crispy Korean Fried Chicken). The Mix & Match Kimbap comes with three rolls of Kimbap of your choice. I don't believe you can order two of the same kimbap if you were to go with this combination through, otherwise I may have doubled the Unagi roll. But we picked Bobjip Special, Beef, and Unagi Kimbap. Order was made ready available for pick-up in about 20-30 mins on a Sunday dinner hour. Immediately, after our takeout was handed to us, the smell of the Dakgangjeong just hit us. The seasoning of it - we smelled it on the entire ride home and kept saying how delicious it smelled. It wasn't a far drive back and the food stayed warm by the time we opened it. First up, the kimbaps - they glisten a bit from the sesame oil that coated it. The ratio between rice and filling was perfect. Less rice, and more ingredients - just how we like it! It's not specified on their website, but the Bobjip Special comes with some sort of meat, I think it's either ham or spam, cheese slices, tofu skin I think, and a variety of veggies. It's loaded, and it's satisfying. The thing I do wish they had is the option to take out certain ingredients. For myself, I don't eat cheese, but thankfully, these cheese were easy to just take out. The beef was my partner's favorite. The main ingredient was the most flavorful of the three rolls. My personal favorite is the Unagi. I like it because it's not an option I see in kimbap, ever. So that's a first. Although the unagi flavor is more subtle compared to the other two kimbaps, I see it more as a treat since I don't come across unagi often. I also prefer the unagi sauce over the other two flavors. But to each their own! Lastly, the Dakgangjeong - for medium size, it was actually a lot. Between the two of us, I think maybe we only finished half of the bucket. It's as flavorful as it smelled. A mild, but tolerable spice level - we picked 'regular' for preparation choice (two options: regular, or spicy), slightly sweet, pretty saucy, but 100% delicious. We misread and assumed it was bone-in chicken, but these were all boneless, so we got mouthfuls of chicken at a time. These were generous size pieces. They were also juicy and tender. I generally enjoy more saucy chicken bites then crispy-skinned ones, so this was great. I wish they had this sweet and spicy chicken option for their chicken wings, but I'm not sure they do. All in all, I'm pretty glad I came across Bobjip, and I'm excited that such a great Korean option is so close by! Next time, I'd probably give their appetizers, and Wang Yubu Chobap a try! read more

Passed by this spot and liked the concept, so decided to check it out. My daughter wanted the Korean fried chicken so that's what we got. Pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor of the sauce coating the chicken, and the boneless chicken pieces were easy to eat and very crispy. Definitely enjoyed the food. Still I didn't enjoyed waiting 30+ mins for the one order of fried chicken. Hope it's just a hiccup. read more

This is my third time ordering from them, and each experience has been great. I really love their black bean noodles--the noodles are always perfectly cooked, and even as takeout, they don't get soggy the next day. The sauce is seasoned just right, not too salty or bland. ALSO, usually I find other restaurants not giving enough sauce compared to the noodles but this spot gives a generous amount of sauce which I love! My second favorite dish is their Korean fried chicken--crispy, flavorful, and the chicken is so tender. I appreciate that they serve a whole chicken instead of just wings. I also enjoy their spicy rice cakes (I can tell that it is made with high-quality rice cakes because it doesn't expand over time) and their kimbab, where the rice-to-ingredient ratio is perfectly balanced. I really hope they open a restaurant soon because I'd love to enjoy the food fresh. For now, though, I'm still very happy with their ghost kitchen! read more

3.5 but rounded up to a 4. Im so thankful to be able to get jjajangmyeon and kimbap so close to home. I've had Bobjip 3x in the last month and will be back but there can be improvements - kimbap (5): pretty good! Fresh and tasty. - tteokbuki (4) on the spicy side and you cannot adjust level of spiciness which is disappointing for many who cannot tolerate too much spice. -tang su yug (2.5): this is Korean Chinese sweet and sour pork. Some restaurants will call it brown sweet and sour pork. Sauce here has bits of pineapple (no veg) but the reason for the low score is how tough, dry and over fried the pork is. Kind of feels like it is fried ahead of time and maybe fried again to serve? Or it's just fried way too long. For a large order we didn't have one juicy piece of pork. The slices are thin so it doesn't take long to cook but they're hammered. Im glad they're here but a few adjustments would be great! read more

If you're craving homemade-style kimbap just like mom used to make, this is the place to go! Every dish has that authentic Korean flavor, with perfectly balanced seasoning that feels just right. My ultimate combo? Donkatsu kimbap or tuna kimbap with tteokbokki and eomuk-tang. If you love Korean food, you're going to love this--it's comfort food at its finest! I also noticed that the food has gotten even better recently. It really feels like the owner puts extra care into every detail, which makes a huge difference. If you live in Hayward and enjoy Korean food, this is a must-try spot! You won't be disappointed! read more

The food is quite good, so I'll keep coming back and giving them another chance, but my patience is running thin. I've ordered three times: one time, the website wouldn't work, so I couldn't even order at all. I tried their phone number but nobody picked up. Both times I've been able to place an order, the same thing occurred: I get a 15 minute quote, it is NOT ready, the kiosk inside the food hall says 7ish more minutes, I check again, and then it says "delayed". No texts for me letting me know it will be delayed, no updated ETAs. And the people at the front desk are quite nice but do not know about Bobjip orders specifically. So you're stranded, waiting an unknown amount of time with nobody to give an update. Not a pleasant experience. read more
