    Takoyaki
    Jeff T.

    I love this place as an more unique specialized addition to the vast Cerritos restaurant landscape. Sure there were Korean restaurants with kimbob, but having a specialized kimbob restaurant for larger orders for family dinners or parties has been very convenient and delicious. The kimbobs are sizeable and every one of the flavors were good so I don't really have a favorite persay. And they do have other stuff like dumplings, takoyaki, deokbokki, etc. I found the price to be reasonable and the staff, which appeared to be mom and pop, to be friendly and accommodating. Interior is a little smaller and parking is in a smaller lot but shouldn't be an issue to find a spot. Would recommend!

    I love this little spot. The Kimbob is very delicious and always packed. I truly believe you get what you pay for. The one that I have posted here is the house special kimbob with a side of spicy mayo. It is packed with bulgogi and shrimp tempura. It is very delicious and I highly recommend this location.

    A small, family-run hidden gem with the nicest owners serving up seriously loaded kimbap! Everything is made fresh to order, with over 20 varieties such as bulgogi, unagi, tempura, tonkatsu, ssam, and plenty of vegetarian options. Their kimbap stands out with generous fillings-more ingredients than rice in every bite. And don't skip the rest of the menu. The spicy rice cakes, chicken skewers, sodduk, and yubu were all packed with flavor. We're already planning our next visit!

    Amazing kimbap. You would think if you had one kimbap, you've had them all, but Gangnam just hits. We bought 3 today, Spicy Ssam, Tuna & Eel, all were delicious, but the Spicy Ssam was just a nice surprise for an uncommon flavor. They have other menu items including rameyon, tteobokki, dumpings, etc. Seating is limited, would not recommend for large groups (just order to go). Parking is limited. Service is quick and friendly. Can't wait to come again!

    Parking lot can feel tight sometimes . "Kimbap (or gimbap) is a popular Korean dish of cooked rice, vegetables, meat, or fish rolled in dried seaweed (gim) and sliced into bite-sized pieces, often served as a picnic food or snack, distinct from sushi by its sesame oil-seasoned rice and typically cooked fillings. Its name means "seaweed rice," and fillings commonly include carrots, spinach, pickled radish (danmuji), egg, fish cake, beef, or tuna, making it a versatile, hearty, and savory meal" The menu has a big variety, look for their lunch specials. I'm excited to come back to try other items. Customer service was friendly. Quaint place, a handful of seats, many people order togo. They also offer kimbap for catering, perfect for family parties :)

    Burdock Kimbob!
    Eunhae H.

    One of my favorite snacks/quick bite to eat for lunch is kimbap. When I saw that there was a new kimbap place in Cerritos, I had to go and try it! I ordered via DoorDash the Burdok, Spam, Bulgogi, and House Special kimbap (bulgogi, shrimp tempura with veggies), and Spicy Rice Cake (ddukbokki). My favorite kimbap was the House Special. The others were good but not as memorable. Next time I want to try the Jalapeño (deep fried jalapeño with veggies), Jay Special (unagi, cream cheese, crabmeat - all deep fried), and Carbo Buldak-Bokkeum (carbonara + buldak ramen noodles).

    We have been watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, and decided to come get some kimbap. Gangnam Kimbob is located in a small strip mall with some parking spots. There are a few seats for dining in but a lot of people get takeout or food delivery. There are many kimbap options as well as some non-kimbap dishes. Each roll is generous in portion and size, ranging from $8-12. I also added a small udon soup, which FYI has no actual udon noodle (it's just the broth). We ordered fish cake, eel, and spicy ssam kimbap. There is also a dispenser with cold/hot water and some tea bags near the door. Overall recommend for a casual meal of kimbap!

    Gangnam Kimbob is located in a small center with different shops. The restaurant itself isn't too big but the food is really good! We called to place an order and the person who answered was really friendly. We got the bulgogi kimbob and shrimp tempura kimbob. Each came with 10. Definitely more than enough for two people and for the price it's a great value. The flavor was incredible. Will be coming again!!

    We grabbed a variety of Kimbob for our holiday celebration. It included the house special bulgogi and shrimp tempura, eel tempura, fish cake, tuna, spicy Kim chi,and katsu. It was a nice variety and a great spread. There was a lot of filling and the rice layer is thin, which I like. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Laura L.

    Kimbap rolls were all 5/5. I especially loved the spam, house special, and kimchi. I did not expect the portion size of one roll to be as big as it was! Definitely could be 2 meals for one order. Each roll comes with the yellow radish. We also got the cheese rice cake with egg. Delicious but standard. This mom and pop store is more so of a take out spot. We called in our order and service was quick. Would love to come back!

    Kimbap is a dish that I can eat for days and not ever get tired of. I've tried multiple places in the west coast, east coast, and in South Korea. The kimbap here is very fresh and made to order just like my other favorite locations. Price is great for what you get, the kimbap is huge and stuffed with lots of ingredients. I tried the shrimp tempura, fishcake, and bulgogi. The bulgogi was hardest to eat simply because of how big it was. Flavor for all three were pretty good. The shrimp tempura was fresh and they didn't skimp on it. Personally didn't care for the sauce in it but I can see why they would put it in for the shrimp tempura kimbap. I think my favorite was the fish cake overall. They have catering options which is nice and other food items on their menu. I like that they have space for customers to dine in and they offer water/tea. Bathroom is nice and clean. Would definitely come back in the future!

    Ssam,  Fish cake,  Shrimp
    Sandra T.

    Delicious Kimbap! I'm really happy I ordered today to know that there's such a solid spot near me. I tried the Ssam, fish cake, and fried shrimp, and they all tasted great! Favorite was the ssam. Will definitely be back to try more.

    House Special
    Sylvie C.

    This is an unassuming place located in a small strip mall type of location that offers a robust selection of kimbob and other delicious quick meals. I ordered their House Special and Spicy pork filled kimbob along with shrimp tempura. The inside of the shop has counter seats and everything is made fresh on the spot after you order. The meals look small and underwhelming except it's very filling, flavorful, and FRESH. I usually abhor having lettuce inside any of my food as it can get soggy or adds very little to no crunch/ nutritional value. I am glad they included it in my spicy ssam kimbob as it made everything taste more balanced texturally and flavor wise. It also got me full a lot quicker. I could only eat maybe 2 of the house specials and two of the spicy pork ones. So don't let the appearance of those beautifully wrapped up kimbob fool you. They are REALLY filling. I also appreciated the freshly fried shrimp tempura. The dipping sauce was not too sweet and just light enough to add more flavor. I can't wait to try out their other kimbob creations. What a nice spot to get a light but filling meal from.

    This was my first time here, and as a somewhat newbie to authentic Korean food (outside of the…read moretrendy Kbbq spots), I was a huge fan! From the friendly service that made us feel like home, to the delicious food, everything hit the spot. We ordered the cold noodle, seafood pancake, bibambap, and short rib combo. All the dishes were so good! And all the banchan that came with it was the cherry on top. The only negative was the table was kind of small for all the dishes...though that could have been user error with us ordering way too much. Portions were surprisingly big, especially the seafood pancake. The whole time, our littlest one was making a mess and the ladies that worked there did not seem perturbed at all, and kept commenting about how cute he was and interacting with him. This type of service and response made us feel more at ease and able to "enjoy" our meal, and that makes a world of difference. I would recommend! Note the parking lot is a little small.

My mom also tried this place and recommended it, so I felt confident this would be a spot I would be coming often. We ordered the naengmyeon combo with spicy marinated pork and a side of soybean paste stew. The lady was nice when she seated us, but seemed a little bothered when we only ordered the above items, because she coldly asked "if that was all" and we said yes. She walked away then yells back asking if we wanted rice because rice wasn't included, and we said no. Despite the rough start with the vibe of the lady who took our order I was still hopeful the food itself would make up for it. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. I've never had naengmyeon that had so much chili flakes, and as someone who doesn't mind them, it was weird. The soybean paste soup was bland. And the side dishes were just okay. After the meal, I got really thirsty and my face was puffy so they are using msg. If it was a good meal, I wouldn't have minded the msg, but for food that was mediocre at best was not worth it. Although I won't be back, I did see people ordering for take out nonstop, so there must be some other dish that is giving them customers.

Their Hae Jang Guk was the only soup with the bone filled up the bowl. However, because there's no space in the small bowl, even a little nudge made its soup spilled all over my sister's body. The waitress just then gave her a bib but the damage had already been done. The Bulgogi and Katsu took the longest to come out but they were the highlights of our meal.

She's not the friendliest and kept tossing things on our table. She also tried taking away a dipping sauce jar after I had already requested to keep it. Our water was never refilled and napkins were very skimmed out. Though she did check up on our tables, her attitude was what made us refrain from asking for help. We love to give smaller businesses a chance, but we're sad to say Jomaru is not one of them.
