    Steamed shrimp dumplings
    Spencer Y.

    K Bap House is a great spot for some simple Korean dishes likes soondobu and bulgogi. The owner is such a nice guy and his passion for the food really shows. They're expanding the menu with soondobu and all kinds of bulgogi, and everything I've tried has been great. The soondobu, chicken bulgogi, and steamed shrimp dumplings are all highly recommended. Service is fast with no wait, and I left already wanting to come back every week. This is exactly the kind of Korean restaurant MoCo needed. I really hope it sticks around.

    This is a clean and cute quick eats place. We just got a tuna kimbap to go but the inside is very bright and airy. I would say the kimbap is much lighter compared to most traditional ones, but we liked it. Service was great, there was a Korean (I think?) uncle there who greeted us with a big smile, and the other staff was great and offered us water while we waited for our to go order.

    Small spot, big flavor. Bulgogi kimbap was amazing, perfectly balanced with fillings. Would definitely come again.

    Went back for lunch today. It's that kind of place. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop and try this lovely restaurant.

    Yay! It's open!

    (TLDR: All-around YAY in every way! A big 'Woo-hoo!' too! :-D) Exciting new restaurant in Rockville! What a fresh, clean, inviting and open space decorated by someone who clearly has a high aesthetic sensibility .... The hearty portions of food are delicious, served saucily (with sauce on the side) with a smile. Everyone here is so nice! There is plenty of parking nearby, including disability-marked spots and there is also a ramp to get up, with a large door to get in. What's really amazing about this place is how large it feels -- from the outside, it seems so small but once inside, it opens up magically into a world of tasty, healthy meals ... and a selection of frozen desserts one may peruse through the glass door of the freezer case by the counter, where food is ordered before being brought cheerily to one of the four white tables. The chairs, walls, and floor all being white adds to the feeling of increased space where once it was so crowded .... What a transformation, wow! Of course, this particular portion of this review won't apply to anyone who hasn't been in this space before but for those who have, wow! Just wow! It could be said to be very minimalist -- reduced to the absolute essentials ... with a few added extras for maximum yumminess and enjoyment! The framed art on the walls is most especially pleasing to the eye for those who appreciate such things -- and the beautiful-yet-simple, down-to-Earth placemats all come together to create a visually unique and special dining experience -- before the filling food even arrives .... Satiation is achieved in the most satisfying way possible -- for both stomach and eyes ... and also heart! One most special item is the small Korean pancake -- unusual because it's normally only available in a rather large size, so this is very different! It's just one of the things that distinguishes this particular Korean eating spot from other Korean restaurants in the area. This one is more health-focussed, with ... I hesitate to say this (not to dis on other places or the people there!), but the higher level of English available here really does help a lot. There is less room for miscommunication when ordering -- a very important distinction! It is really not fun to find out you've eaten something you specifically said you didn't want to receive, and only figure this out once it's too late! Lessening the chances of that is wonderful! No promises being made here about this but it seems that ordering in Spanish would also be a possibility ... and depending on the day and time, perhaps another language as well. To me, this is ideal and so fun! The food and art are specifically Korean but in some ways, it's more worldly than that ... so you really are stepping into another world when you come here! (Or rolling, of course, if that's how you arrive.) K Bap Express did take a bit of time to open -- but it's totally been worth the wait! The selection, kindness, and heart-expanding décor together provide room for a much-needed rest in many ways .... The visual interest so very well tended-to gives the eyes a way to eat and be nourished, as well .... There is something for every part of a patron to love! The presentation of the food is delightful, so you can soak it in before indulging ... and leave filled with nutrition for your stomach, eyes, heart, and soul .... Apologies if I have gushed repetitively about certain stand-out virtues of this place! It's just so deserving, I haven't been able to help myself! I hope you try it and love it as much as I do!

    Bonjour, Mon Ami! ( Hello, my friend...) It is good to visit and enjoy your delicious pastries!…read moreEven though I arrived late in the day, the pastry cases were full of enticing baked goods. There was every kind of croissant you can imagine. I bought my favorite almond croissant. There were fruit and cream filled pastries. I bought a fruit and cream filled pastry too. There were a lot of chocolate delicacies. I am going to buy some on my next trip. The ambiance is lovely. There are tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your sweets. There are cases filled with pastries. Service was great. I was waited on right away and they packed my box in a bag with a handle, to make it easier to carry. Au revoir, for now! But, I will be back for more delicious sweets.

    When you walk in, the counters are filled with pastries and breads that look fresh and delicious…read more I had one and it was very fresh, buttery and very good. There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

    Sat at the bar in back. Soft shell crabs were terrific - went with the fried option rather than…read moresautéed, quality fries and a killer kale and apple salad. My Mom had their green beans as a side and I had a few - they were crispy and very good. Too many places over cook things. Waitress behind the bar was great. Nice 'neighborhoody' casual atmosphere. First time here - will hopefully be back within a few weeks. Five stars, albeit based on one visit Decent beer selection, nothing I hadn't had before. But that's a personal problem, not a restaurant problem. ;-)

    Three stars for the nostalgia of rum buns alone. Been meaning to stop by this place for YEARS and…read morefinally made it! Any Marylander of the Boomer and GenX generation knows about O'Donnell's RUM BUNS. I used to come here with family back in its heyday and these were served table side before our meal. How crazy is that, a nice lil somewhat sinful dessert BEFORE some MD crab?! Those were the days! The rum buns are more nostalgia more than anything, I wouldn't say they'll blow your socks off, but hey, nostalgia is nostalgia. Well, I'll need to dine in here for a full and complete verdict, but my quick grab and go visit was a tad chaotic. Service for taking orders could improve - you walk in, there's a seafood counter to your left, bakery counter to your right (both were unmanned when I walked in) and in the middle is a deli section with the cash register where I assume they take orders. We stood there for a few good minutes before getting anyone's attention despite the fact a manager asking staff (not customers) if everyone was being helped. Clearly staff did not know who was waiting to check out, take orders or just waiting for their orders to arrive. So it was just weird. No one greeting you as you walk in either, it just also weird because there's no clear line anywhere you stand. Otherwise, rum buns were as I remembered them. Also picked up crab dip and chicken salad from the grab and go section from the back and they were just ok, not bad, not great. So will come again for a future visit hoping to have a much better meal and experience!
