Pretty decent selection and quality for a grab and go place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: it is in Chinatown with just a bunch of refrigerators showing what is available to grab. No frills.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: you take what you want and pay at the front. You can order some stuff for them to make as well. They were very patient and helpful. Food: Got some gimbap and side dishes to go. They were delicious and tasted pretty fresh as well. I thought the pricing was pretty appropriate for something that is premade. Would love to try more stuff in the future, especially the tteokbokki. awesome spot for some Korean grab and go. read more

The best best best place for grab and go yummy Korean dishes (gimbap or bento especially) AND the best place for picking up some Korean cuisine essentials. Their kimchi is so good, and all the banchan sides are delicious. read more

I went back today and they now make Gim Bop to order so it's fresher than ever. I thought this was going to be an update to my original review... read more

This is a market inside the Chinatown shopping complex & is a Time Machine to the little stalls in Korea. The prepackaged Korean lunch and snacks reminds me of the food I would get easily any day of week in any alley in Seoul. Prices are beyond reasonable and I so wish I lived closer. Staff were super helpful and friendly. I wish I lived closer because it fills my heart and tummy very well. read more

My go to spot for take away Korean that you can make at home for meal prep or just dinner. The kimchi here of all kinds is super on point, you can grab a ton of different sides and proteins to go and pretty much pack everything you need for a great dinner or more at home. I always get ready made rice, bibimbap and seaweed salad etc. and do a bunch of meal prep. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is fresh and authentic, I absolutely love it, the owners are so incredibly nice, and the place just warms my heart.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend!! read more

-------January 6, 2024------1 star I am sad to say that the morning after I ate food from this restaurant, I suffered from food poisoning. I can't remember the last time I had food poisoning, but it was horrible. K-Recipe was the only food I ate on Jan. 5, so it is the only thing that could have given me food poisoning. Just be careful what you eat from here and be sure to cook the pre-cooked items thoroughly before eating them. -------January 5, 2024------- 5 stars I'm impressed with this place! It is like a bodega where you pop in to grab something and then go on your way. Some of the food needs to be warmed up, but it is absolutely delicious! The spicy Korean rice cakes are dished from a self-serve station. They have a wonderful flavor that has a decent kick of spice. There are no tiny sausages in it like other places I've tried, but that's not an issue for me. The pot stickers are also some of the best I've ever had! They are fried, so they're crispy on the outside and the sauce is delicious! The cucumbers are not too spicy, but they are refreshing. The bulgogi is also delicious. I'm blown away by the top-tier service! The owner took the bulgogi and put fresh rice in it for us! She was so sweet and kind when we checked out, and I will be back to get a whole container of their glass noodles. The ambiance is unique. It's super small, but there is a variety of food that you can grab, pay for, and be on your way! If you need a fast, delicious place to go for lunch or dinner, you will love this place! read more

Less than 2 minute visit. Located inside the Chinatown Grocery Store Plaza. Parking outside is in a private plaza. Overflow parking is street parking. Came in close to 7pm for some Kimbap. Noted bulgogi and tuna kimbap left. Small little deli store. Prices are fair and the bulgogi kimbap was enjoyable! Perfect for a quick lunch the next day. read more

The food here is authentic Korean (I am Korean). Got the hot bulgogi meal tray and it hit the spot. Pleasantly surprised to see they had lotus root (hard to find). [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a small area to sit down and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Reminds me of NYC's Woorijip in its early days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owners are extremely kind and clearly take pride in each and everything they offer. Any time I crave Korean I will be coming here. read more

Love the concept of K-Recipe! A Korean store specializing in banchan, Korean dishes, lunch Bentos, and kimbap! The store is clean and simple, and the food is made fresh in the store. The staff is nice and welcoming. I come here regularly for their kimbap. They have bulgogi, tuna, and fish cake kimbap. Price is on the higher end for kimbap but there are not many shops in SLC that sell kimbap, so I'd return again for it. read more

Amazing to go food - great spot for a quick bite of incredible food. we tried their bulgogi gimbap - i thought i would want a sauce but the flavor is very bright so no sauce needed for great flavor! Seaweed salad is a staple for me - excellent price for the portion. We complimented the staff, and he brought us a sample of the tteokbokki, spicy rice cakes! Spicy tomato base with perfectly cooked rice and fish cakes - definitely getting that next time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Extremely clean in front and back areas - definitely hit this spot in the chinatown market![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

K Recipe is newly opened, for about a year now. Located inside Chinatown Supermarket with plenty of parking. My husband and I were shopping at Chinatown Supermarket and decided to stop in to see if there were anything good to purchase since my husband was starting to get hungry. We came in on a Sunday afternoon around 2:45 pm. This place is small but there are several food offerings on the table that is wrapped or in a container. There are also food items in the fridge and you can also purchase tteok bokki (spicy rice cakes). We ended up buying: Bulgogi with rice, $8.99 prior to tax- Because my husband did not see this on the table, he just asked at the register if he could order one. The employee said he can and an employee behind in made one for him fresh. This entrée came with bulgogi beef, glass noodles and shredded carrots served over a bed of rice. The entrée itself is good to serve 2 people. Definitely loved the flavors of the meat and found the sauce to be perfect with the rice. Bulgogi gimbap, $5.99 prior to tax- I am such a fan of gimbap/ kimbap. This one has 12 cut pieces. A good portion for sharing and also quite filling. The roll was tightly rolled so it did not fall apart when I picked one up with my chopsticks. Tofu skin, $3.99 prior to tax- One of my favorite banchan at a Korean restaurant, I had to pick this up. Definitely a large portion for the amount. The tofu skins were perfectly cooked and had a nice chew. Loved the sauce that was used to season it. Perfect on its own or with rice. -------------------- (Total= $20.44 after tax) Service was quick and prices are very reasonable. We were in and out in about 10 minutes and back in the car. If I lived in this area, I would be a regular. read more

Quick and easy lunch option! Kimbap priced at $7.99 is a little pricey but decent portion and good flavoring. Staff are always really nice and greets you upon entering the store. Kimbap options are with fish cake, bulgogi, tuna salad, or spicy pork. read more

I was really happy to see this place open. I love korean side dishes and would make them every now and then, but some of them is just too labor intensive for me. This place makes it so much easier to get the side dishes that I want. Now home made bibipbap, or kbbq would be way easier. They don't only sell side dishes, but they also sell korean starter dishes. The kimbap here is very good. All the other staters look very tempting, and maybe I will go try them one day. Honestly, the starters can also be a meal if you want something super quick that day. A lot of the things are freshly made there, so you know they aren't selling anything that's factory made. The sides I've gotten was very good. I love the kimchi, I don't think i would ever buy store kimchi anymore. Highly recommend this place if you wan to cook a korean meal, but don't want to put the hassle in making side dishes. read more

I love coming here for kimbap and side dishes! Their food is so delicious and it's freshly made. The people who work here are so nice as well, and it makes me want to support their business even more. It's a grab-and-go establishment so there isn't any seating available, but it is in a busy plaza so most people are running their errands anyway. I like how clean it always is, and it's brightly lit. I honestly can't find anything to complain about, and I always find myself coming back because I crave their kimbap all the time. read more

Yumm! They have an abundance from kimchi, other pickled veggies, gimbap, boiled whole squid, bento style entree's and kimchi fried rice bowl all ready to go. I grabbed the kimchi fried rice. So good! The rice made perfect the flavor is amazing! Give it a try! It will not disappoint. The service was fast and the people were super friendly. Ambiance is nice, clean and well organized. I will be frequenting whenever I'm in town. Worth the drive from Roy area. read more

K-Recipe - Kimchi fried rice with egg. So good - Korean Near Me - South Salt Lake, Utah

Impeccable service and cleanliness for a casual pickup location. If I lived in the area I'd go here regularly. The tteokbokki I served myself was much better than the one I get pre-packaged at H-Mart. The way they have it in stored, like at a buffet, keeps the texture soft and chewy. I only tried that as well as seasoned sesame leaves, and squid with hot pepper dipping sauce. The last item was one of the yummiest things I've eaten in a while because of the sauce. All very authentic preparation, presentation, and taste. I suppose it's also authentic that they bowed when serving my food, I hadn't experienced that in a while but it's appreciated. read more

I am addicted to Kimbop and this is my favorite place to feed that addiction. They are polite and always willing to make a special order for you if what they have isn't quite what you are looking for. I am vegan and they make Kimbop without egg or fish cake for us. This is probably the biggest secret when it comes to Korean food in Salt Lake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, amazing food, and even a small table or two should you choose to dine in :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This a really nice little shop in "China Town". The food the sell never disappoints. I love the Kimchi and the fried mackerel. Those two are my go too. I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Bought a bunch of banchans here for a home Korean bbq night. Found some tasty Gimbap roll definitely worth checking out. They have pretty much all the sides you could ever want and some different varieties not seen at the typical restaurant also. Bought like 8 kinds and all were delicious and will be going back again! read more

K-Recipe has ready-to-go Korean banchan (side dishes) and is located inside of the Asian market plaza. There's a private parking lot for this spot along with the other businesses in this plaza. Everything here is super convenient to grab and go. We picked up a few items and then went to Sugar House park for a sunset picnic dinner. The banchan: Cucumber kimchi (Oi Kimchi)- lightly pickled and cut into small pieces with gochugaru (red pepper flakes) was crunch, light, and refreshing. Fried fish cakes(Eomuk Bokkeum)- one of my favorite banchan of all time. It was made well here but did not have the addition of red pepper flakes or fermented red pepper paste that I usually enjoy with it. Soy marinated potatoes (Gamja Bokkeum)- savory and delicious. Really tasty way of preparing potatoes, would highly recommend if you've never tried before! We also ordered the bulgogi (beef) and tuna kimbap, which is kinda like the Korean version of sushi. I loved the addition of the fried fish cakes in the kimbap, it gave it structure and a little bit of salt. If I lived in the area, I would come back for the soy marinated eggs and also get an order of their spicy rice cakes (Tteokbokki). I would highly recommend picking up some side dishes and kimbap and having a picnic! read more

I was SO happy to find this gem to pick up snacks for our snowboarding trips and they truly did not disappoint. We called the shop around 5PM to see if they had any kimbap left and the owner said that he was making some time at that moment and would save 2 rolls for us. We got to the shop around 6PM and indeed, he had saved the 2 kimbap rolls for us!! It was truly such a sweet gesture, given that there was none left in the store and I'm sure other customers had asked about it in the time it took us to get there. FOOD: - original kimbap +5/5 This is everything you could dream of - the ingredients were fresh & crunchy, the taste was amazing, & it seriously hit the spot. - bulgogi kimbap +5/5 Also another good kimbap roll that I would highly recommend getting. SERVICE: - As you read earlier, the owner was SO nice & accommodating - especially since we were visiting from out of town. It's business owners that this that really stand out because you know they truly care about their customers! Overall, we will definitely be coming back to grab more goodies the next time we're in SLC! read more

Solid stop for a quick pickup of Kimbap. No seating so plan on just grabbing a few things, maybe while you're are at the Asian Market.

As a Korean, I can say the food here tastes just as good as my mom's food. The owners are incredibly nice. I always try to stop by whenever I'm in Utah. read more

I was recently told about this place from a friend, and have gone three times now to get their sides to go along with my Korean bbq. They have plenty of side dish options that are made fresh. I've gotten the spicy cucumbers, bean sprouts, fish cakes, seaweed salad, and their kimchi. Everything is reasonably priced and they have a lot of other options if you're looking for main dishes as well, like bulgogi, and kimbop (I haven't tried these yet). As far as taste, their spicy cucumbers aren't that spicy but still has that delicious sesame flavor. The one side I did not care for was their kimchi as it was a bit dry. Overall this cute shop is conveniently located inside Chinatown and is a must if you want some delicious banchan without having to go to a restaurant. read more

A very cute and friendly place located in Chinatown, that makes a few vegan Korean food, clearly marked vegan on their labels and if you go early, you can ask for Vegan Kimbap, which they'll make fresh for you on the spot. So grateful they exist because I seriously love their Vegan Kimbap and Vegan Kimchi! Best in SLC! read more

My wife and I absolute love this place!!!! Every time we go to the Chinatown Market, we come here for the amazing Gimbap and the side dishes. We recently also tried the seafood stew and it was *chef's kiss*. Their japchae is also really good!!! The service is great, and if you are craving authentic Korean food, this is 15/10 the spot to the go to! read more

This is Korean food on the go! There are so many ready-to-eat food options here! This is where I come when I need a quick Korean food pick-me-up or if I'm hosting a dinner party and need the sides to supplement the bulgogi. I love this place! I stop in usually for lunch for some kim-bop (like sushi rolls without the raw fish) that is always available and ready to eat. I'll sometimes pick up a few ban-chan (side dishes) items to eat later with my rice and maybe some soup that they have ready to take home and heat up. This is the perfect little shop for those of us who love Korean food, are hosting a Korean dinner and don't have the skill to make all of the Korean sides, or for a newbie just want to get a quick taste of Korean food. They do have some funky hours and are closed certain days, so plan accordingly! read more

Everything here is so good! I love the spicy pork deobap with a banana milk! The owners are so sweet!

We rather fortuitously ended up eating here, but what a gem! We wanted to have an early lunch, but all other restaurants in the mall were closed. K-Recipe was open. It was clean, well-lit. A good variety of food was displayed so that one could pick and choose. We tried pork shank, squid, and kimchi fried rice, all delicious. They even have a small table for exactly three of us, LOL! It was our last meal in SLC, but it was glorious. read more

All the assortments of kimchee and banchan you can imagine! And all made fresh in store. They also have KBBQ meats you can grill at home, seafood, soups, other traditional Korean dishes & more. The family who runs it is so friendly! Will definitely return again & again! read more

I was visiting from Aspen and on my last day, I stopped by to get some food back to Aspen because there is no good food in Aspen. Service was self-serve. It's a small shop with all the choices lay out either on the center table or in the fridge. It's a little pricy but food is delicious. I got the chicken soup and really regret that I did not buy a couple more. read more

Try new flavors! Give this place a chance! I go here at least every other week for their fresh kimchi and sides as well as their frozen soups. Their chicken soup and their pork soup is the most delicious meal ever. Last time I went there they had just made the chicken soup fresh that day! For a first time person I'd recommend their kimbop. It is similar to a California roll, but much better. I would also recommend trying these frozen soups and their kimchi! Please support this local business. read more
