Korean street food lovers, add Gangnam Kimbob in Artesia to your list! Their kimbap rolls are HUGE and packed with fillings--you get way more ingredients than rice! They have 20+ varieties, plus Korean favorites like spicy rice cakes, yubu, fish cake soup, crispy mandu, and their massive 12-inch chicken skewers! I also tried their Family Kimbob Combo for $46, featuring Bulgogi, Fishcake, Burduk, Egg Special, Spam & Egg, and Kid's Kimbob. It serves 4-5 people, making it perfect for family meals, parties, or picnics! read more

To go - love the Bibim (slightly spicy) burlgogi roll. Spam roll and regularly burlgogi rolls are good too. Hefty sized and good ratio of non-rice ingredients. Pretty fast as well. Prices as expected. Love supporting this small business! read more

We finally tried their Eel Kimbob and regular Bulgogi roll. I really liked it! Two things I want to point out: The parking lot is small and parking is atrocious. Secondly, the eel comes with a very sweet sauce. I may ask for the sauce on the side next time. A bit too sweet for my taste. However the Kimbob's were made to order, keeping them fresh and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend them for catering too! 5/5 recommend! read more

I love taking out from Gangnam Kimbap. Everything is good quality and delicious. I love their combos because you get a little bit of lots of yummy Korean food. Dipping their kimbap in their Tteokbokki is a must. Parking is tricky when it's dinner time because it's a small lot but if you get there early enough there's plenty of parking. Definitely recommend. read more

Gangnam Kimbob has been my favorite spot as of late. It's been a while since one restaurant has been able to nail all three dishes at the same time. Kimbob, ddukbokee, and odeng soup... not a single dish performs less than the others and that's honestly truly difficult to do. Also service is excellent, always. I decided it was finally time to not gatekeep this place any longer hehe. I am also super excited to cater Kimbob from this place in the future because I already know it tastes good so seeing the platter makes me feel safe knowing the presentation AND taste will be perfect :) read more

Stopped by for the house special roll and would definitely order it again. The combination of bulgogi, shrimp tempura, and vegetables worked really well together and made for a filling meal. The restaurant itself was clean and service was good. The only challenge is parking--the lot is shared with a nearby KBBQ spot, so it tends to get crowded pretty quickly. Still, the food was worth the hassle and I'd come back again. read more

Gangnam Kimbob - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

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! read more

I had to grab a quick dinner because of a last-minute plan, so I looked for a kimbap spot around Cerritos and ended up here. The first thing I noticed was how big the menu is -- lots of variety, which I liked. I ended up ordering the keto kimbap, sesame leaf kimbap, and tuna kimbap. The price per roll wasn't exactly cheap, but each one was packed with ingredients, so it felt worth it. The portions were generous too -- I ordered thinking it would be enough for two people, but honestly it could've fed three. The flavors were very clean and well-balanced overall. They also gave me some fish cake soup on the side when I asked, which was a nice touch. The only downside was the wait. It felt like it took about 20 minutes, probably because they were backed up with orders. That said, it seemed like a small, family-run place with just a couple people working, so it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, a really solid experience. read more

Ordered on the July 4 holiday for a get to geth and in typical Asian fashion they were open! Yay! I got the house special with bulgogi and shrimp, BIBIM, spicy pork, and tonkatsu rolls. Each one is 10 pieces. They were large pieces, rice is perfectly done and not too thick. I also ordered a few yubus and they were delicious! There's a lot of seats but not really great for a big group unless you wanna sit next to each other down the bar The waitress cashier was very nice and helpful and everything looked very clean! I would definitely recommend this place for Kimbap if you are looking to take it to a party or potluck, it's a great idea and well received by everyone. read more

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! read more

Gangnam Kimbob - Spicy Saam - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

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 :) read more

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). read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

This tiny mostly take out place is a real gem tucked away in Artesia/Cerritos. The parking lot is always busy because it is nestled into a small strip of restaurants. Neighborhood parking is around the corner. There is a small counter to sit at but takeout is probably best. The colorful photos of the variety of flavor combinations in each tightly wrapped roll helps to tantalize your tastebuds. Sorry I've no photos! Always too eager to dig in! I can assure you that everything I've tried is extremely fresh, interestingly flavored, and crave-worthy. We usually call our order in and they are always polite and friendly. It appears to be a mom and pop establishment, and I think the "mom" that rang me up last time was also the one making the kimbob. Soooo yummy and light. I appreciate kimbob because it has less rice than sushi for the carb-conscious. Help keep this awesome neighborhood treasure in business! read more

I'm incredibly thankful that this restaurant came through with our catering order. We placed a large request for about 40 gimbap rolls: CALIFORNIA, SPAM, TUNA, and BULGOGI, along with SPICY RICE CAKES and SPICY RICE CAKE AND SAUSAGE SKEWERS. Everything was completed just in time for our event, and the feedback from our guests was overwhelming. The gimbap rolls were a major hit. They were GENEROUS IN SIZE (each about the diameter of a silver dollar), packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. The Spicy Rice Cake & Sausage skewers were truly out of this world, with six to eight layers of sausage and rice cakes brushed with a rich gochujang glaze, PERFECTLY BALANCED and VISUALLY STUNNING. Our guests couldn't stop praising the variety and quality. If you're looking for the best gimbap spot in town, this place absolutely delivers. NO CAP. read more

Their kimbap are huge. I usually get three orders and share with my partner and we always have at least half of one order leftover. Each piece is packed with so much and tastes very fresh. They have so many different varieties of kimbap and you can't really go wrong with any! I especially like the California and eel one. The California one is kind of like a Korean California roll if you will. Each order comes with a small side of pickled radish. Each piece already has a small piece of pickled radish but it's nice to have extra on the side in case you want an extra bite of crunch! I like to call to order and they are quick and usually done within 10-15 minutes. They do have some bar-like seating indoors but I don't often see people dining in so I just take them to-go. read more

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!! read more

Gangnam Kimbob is a relatively new spot, located right next to the Ondo coffee shop, and it is absolutely worth stopping by. I ordered the tonkotsu kimbap, and it was fantastic. The portion was very generous, the vegetables were well seasoned, and the pork tonkotsu was fresh, crispy, and not dry at all. Every bite had great texture and flavor. The interior is simple and set up for quick dining. There are about ten seats, mostly counter-style seating, which works well if you just want to sit down for a fast and satisfying meal. The space is clean and casual, which fits the style of the restaurant. Service was great. The staff offered helpful recommendations, and their suggestions were spot on. I definitely plan to come back and try the other kimbap options, although I might be tempted to just order the tonkotsu again. Overall, a delicious and convenient stop for high quality kimbap. read more

I love this spot! I've been coming here once every other week for the past 2 months! my sister and I like to order the rose tteokbokki, bulgogi kimbap, and today we tried the fish cake soup! They're so consistent with their food, the veggies in the kimbap is always fresh. The broth of the fish cake soup was light but flavorful. The workers are always so sweet and helpful. Inside reminds me of a kimbap spot from Korea! Rose tteokbokki 10/10 The sauce is not too spicy, the tteok is nice and chewy, the ratio between fish cake, rice cake, and sausage is so balanced too! The kimbap is well seasoned, the veggies are fresh and crunchy, the seaweed always has a perfect amount of sesame oil. So good! read more

It was exciting to see a kimbob restaurant because I don't think I've ever seen one outside of the H Mart food courts. They also serve instant noodles with add-ons. We ordered the katsu, house special and bibim kimbob for takeout. They were pretty big and all the fillings were delicious. We look forward to trying more flavors. Some pieces did fall apart so it was hard to eat in the car (we couldn't wait to go home and eat) but very filling and pretty worth it for the price. Theres some chairs inside and the interior of the restaurant is welcoming. The employees were helpful and kind. Looking forward to trying more dishes! read more

I've ordered from them twice on DoorDash, and they are now in my favorites! Absolutely fantastic food, delicious and fresh.

Can't speak to service or ambience as I've never been to the restaurant, but I will definitely be ordering again. read more

The variety of Kimbob is absolutely delicious! As a Korean, I appreciate the authentic taste of their Kimbob and their other dishes! My son and daughter-in-law ordered a variety of Kimbob, bulgogi yobu and mixed tempura as appetizers for their wedding. All the guests raved how much they loved all the appetizers! The owner, Hyun, packed all the food for easy pick up and to display, which included descriptions of each item. My husband and I loved their food so much that we drove from Torrance to pick up a couple of build your own party trays for one of our events! Of course, everyone loved it! Awesome customer service!

Not a lot of seating inside (a bar counter with room for about 4-5 people max). It's more of a grab and go situation, but they will take a few minutes to make your food. I really liked how big these pieces were. One tray was pretty filling for a meal, so I would come back again. Spicy SSam might be different from the regular Ssam. We got the spicy ssam, but it seemed like the meat was pork instead of pork belly (ssam). We got the Spicy Ssam, Tonkatsu, and House Special, but when sharing among friends we all had different favorites so I would say go for filling you like when ordering rather than picking what's most popular. read more

Went for a quick lunch and was very impressed by the quality as well as the quantity of the food. The Bibim kimbob genuinely had a bibimbap flavor and was slightly spicy. The Unagi kimbob was also very meaty, packed with flavor, and warm. One thing I like to take particular note of is the rice to filling ratio. One of my pet peeves when it comes to kimbob is when there is a huge amount of extremely compressed rice and dry/spase filly. This Kimbo was the exact opposite and had the perfect amount of rice and was filled to the brim with filling which was prepped and seasoned well. The seaweed also had a very great sesame oil flavor. Super authentic, and service was great. I would highly recommend. read more

We tried their spicy tuna but was a bit surprised to find no hint of spice in the tuna but the jalapeno inside the Kimbop. That threw me off a little. We also got the house special which had bulgogi and tempura. That one was good also. They have a few meal boxes also that I noticed a few ordered. Will have to try that next time read more
