Good food, plenty of seating, and good service! I really liked the dolsot bibimbap and the japchae. The bibimbap tastes really good with the beef bulgogi, fresh veggies, and crispy rice. And the japchae is packed with flavor in every bite. I would come back to get these entrees again! read more

You order from the counter and pick up when called. The food was ready quite quickly. I enjoyed the Jam Pong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and we had Dolsot Bibimbop. Both were very tasty and enough to bring home for a second meal. read more

Excellent place for Korean food very close to campus! Portions are huge and everything tastes fairly authentic (comparable to Korean food that I have had in LA). Some of the food portions were so massive that we had to take a to-go box for it, which made for a great cost-efficient meal the next day. I would DEFINITELY come back the next time I am in town, this one is a can't-miss for sure. read more

Kbop Korean Bistro - So good!!! - Korean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Needed to bring something to share at a holiday party and Kbops kimbap came in clutch! They looked and tasted amazing. It was a big hit at the party. I bought 8 kimbaps and they were all gone by the end of the night. I ordered them through Yelp and it was done in no time. They also come in individual containers. Great for sharing and also not if you want one just for yourself. This is on the UofM campus so expect to do street parking. read more

We were in the area and craving for gimbap, so we decided to stop by. Parking is scarce and will need to drive around otherwise there's parking ramp with a small fee. Restaurant is right on the corner, bright and yellow. They have a big menu with pictures to order from. Order at the counter and they'll bring out the food to your table. They ran out of gimbap, so we ordered other items. read more

I love getting my Korean food fix here! I got the Kimchi Chigae and the Bu Dae Chigae, both super good! I usually can't handle spice well but this was just the right amount of spice. We also got a kimbap roll which was so good! The place itself is smaller but does have a large table if you want to accommodate big groups, but probably would be best to come when it's slower. Parking is probably the worst part about this place, it's located in Dinkytown so you can imagine the nightmare during game days. They do have street parking in front of the restaurant if you want to test your luck. Overall, great food! read more

Such a cozy spot with an amazing menu! Love that they have so many authentic Korean soup options. The stew was flavorful and perfect for a chilly day. Fast, friendly, and very affordable. Whether you want noodles or a hearty stew, you won't be disappointed. Great neighborhood bistro! read more

Food is decent when you dine in, but not for take out. They give you less side dishes and food is of less quality overall. Very disappointing. Less pork bulgolgi, less fried rice, Korean ribs tasted boiled only, just waste of money overall. Very disappointing. Waste of money. read more

The food here always hits when I crave Korean food. There's a good amount of seating available but can fill up fast when they're busy. Parking can be hard to find during the semester. I like that they have some sort of Korean show or music playing on their TV and it's not too loud. I went here for a solo food date and it was great. I got their Jampong and Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Pancake) and the portion was a lot! I had to take half of each home and eat it for dinner. read more

Kbob is pretty decent and according to some of my friends a pretty authentic Korean spot in Dinkytown. I usually go with the beef Bulgogi, but they have other options that are also great. The service was fast and easy and the restaurant was not too packed. Seating was open and I enjoyed my entire meal. The only thing is that it is a little pricier than I expected for a Dinkytown restaurant. Maybe that comes with how specialized the food is, but I do wish the prices were a bit lower. Otherwise the food was pretty good. read more

Kbop is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the city. The menu runs the gamut of traditional Korean foods, and everything I've tried has delivered in full. A few personal favorites are the budae-jjigae (military stew), seafood bibimbap, and jjajangmyeon. The space itself is straightforward by design, cafeteria-style and counter service. It can get busy during dinner during the school year, especially on winter weekends when a roiling stew hits like nothing else. One thing to be aware of: you have to buy any drink you want, including bottled water. And should you venture to the spicier side of the menu, you'll want a one. It'd be cool if they added even a simple water dispenser as this can feel a little cash-grabby, but the food is good enough and reasonably priced such that this can be overlooked. read more

Delightful!! Had a dazzling and enormous bowl of jajangmyeong. Totally delicious. Kimbap was good. Seafood pancake a bit bread like. And banchan on point. Will return again and again to try other dishes. So happy this place exists. read more

Great variety of delicious food at very fair prices. My friend had bokum bap and I had jamppong. We shared a seafood pancake. Big portions and the nice lady who took our order offered to take my tray if jamppong to our table. The jamppong had a nice and plentiful supply of seafood and thick noodles. It took care of my hunger without leaving me feel stuffed. The seafood pancake was big enough to share with almost a half left to take. We arrived shortly after K-Bop opened at 11:00 and it was filling up while we were eating. I highly recommend a visit. read more

DELICIOUS Korean food, in a modern, no-frills and minimalistic kind of atmosphere. Service was okay considering you order at a counter, then pick up when your order is ready (yup, just like at McDonald's). We arrived around 7pm and there was only one person in front of us when we got in line to order. After we ordered, our food was ready in 5-10 minutes. Here's what we ordered: 1. Beef Bulgogi (5/5) So delicious and flavorful and perfectly cooked. Order this every time! 2. Japchae (4/5) Yummy, but not as good as the Bulgogi. We ordered with chicken, but it was a bit dry so I wish we opted for the beef. 3. Dukbokki (2/5) It was hard and chewy. Spice level was ok, but it wasn't the best dukbokki I've tasted. 4. 2 Bottled Waters for $1.50 each. (0/5). Have I mentioned how much I hate paying for water at a restaurant? Also, be prepared to pay for parking, or parking far away since the Dinkytown U of MN area parking situation can be difficult sometimes. On-street parking was about $3 per hour. I would definitely come back when I'm craving good Korean food. read more

There is paid street parking nearby. It's open at least, closed this coming Monday and Tuesday for the 4th. Order at the counter and pick up your order when they call your order number. No names here, you are just a number to them. The woman taking your order wasn't warm or inviting or friendly at all. We ordered bottle of water, kimchi fried rice with the egg scrambled, kimchi jjigae, kimchi jeon, tteokbokki, Kimbap. $62.39 The kimchi jiiage comes with soft tofu instead of the hard tofu at our favorite spot back at home. It's subpar, not a big fan of the broth much. Their kimchi pancake is really thick and nice and crispy. It's quite good. The banchans: cucumber, braised fish cake and kimchi, all are okay. The tteokbokki is okay, the rice cakes are bloated and slightly overcooked. The kimchi fried rice is super salty and maybe too heavy on the soy sauce, it's not as good as our favorite restaurant back at home. Actually most of the dishes are quite salty. You will likely need to get more water as you go. We were so thirsty as we ate our food up. It was quite backed by the time we left the place. read more

Came here for some warm Korean stew and this place delivers. The jjamppong veggies are a little different from the typical cabbage, carrots and onions but the Smokey flavor is spot on and the banchan sides were a great accompaniment. Size of the soups are very reasonable and shareable with a friend if you order an appetizer. This is cafeteria style seating so order and wait to pick up when your number is called, when you are done return the tray. read more

Now that I've finally gone to Seoul, I feel better about reviewing Kbop years after my first visit (and several others since): this is the best option for Korean food in the metro. They do classic dishes well for the money. Enjoy the kimbap roll, I enjoy the bulgogi. You can hit all the classics here. It's efficient and friendly counter service. It's a functional interior. You're not going here for a fancy place, it's just as much aimed at the student population of Dinkytown. I've never had a bad meal. read more

I'm so happy we finally made it to this place! We shared the Ja Jang Myeon (black bean noodles), Kimchi Chigae (delicious soup), and beef bulgogi. Everything came with sides and it was all SO DELICIOUS! I loved how flavorful everything was and we had plenty of leftovers. The service was friendly and this place is laid-back with wooden seating throughout. We will be back to try more! read more

Always a great spot if you're craving a quick Korean bite. Today, I got the beef bulgogi plate. With a mixture of grilled beef, veggies, and slightly sweet sauce, you are in for a juicy meaty treat! Service was quick. Makes for a fun trendy spot by the University of Minnesota! read more

Kbop Korean Bistro - Beef Bulgogi set - Korean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We love Kbop! We've been ordering food from Kbop for several years - for serving at grad parties, birthday parties and during the holidays. The food is fantastic -- especially given our larger sized orders. We often order beef bulgogi, Bi Bim Bap, Korean chicken wings and fried mandu. We have never been disappointed! read more

When I say the portions are big! Wow. Hopefully the picture do it justice. It was yummy too. I wouldn't get the rice cakes just because there wasn't a lot of fish cakes in it. I would go back just for the noodles. It was almost 3 meals in just that alone. So it makes the price of the food which was $55 dollars worth it. The service was fast. You order and sat down, the got up to get the food. I really liked sitting there and talking to my friend because of the cafeteria-like atmosphere (if a cafeteria had a lot of wood). I would come back. read more

One of my favorite places to get Korean food. I love their consistency and everything always tastes great. The portion sizes are pretty hefty and I always end up with leftovers. The dining area is always lively and I love how open it is despite how small the space looks. It's an order at the counter type of restaurant, so don't expect someone to come to you. Some of my repeat orders are the mandu, veggie pancake, japchae, spicy pork stir fry, bulgogi, ddoboki, and yukajang. read more

Great Food the flavors are very unique, the place is cozy and cool I really recommend this place

Super tasty Korean food! Huge portion sizes, great taste, and great prices! So affordable! They have all the popular Korean dishes like, kimchi chigae (tofu soup), jajangmyeon (black bean noodle), bulgogi (marinated beef), bi bim bap (hot stone rice), and so much more! The only down side was that the food was a bit salty. I got the Kimchi Chigae (11.50) and it was salty, but nonetheless a bang for your buck! Plus all the entrees come with banchan (appetizers)! I also got the kimbap ($5) which was sooo good and super cheap! I will definitely be coming back to check out more of my favorite Korean dishes read more

Decided to try this spot out even though my usually go to spot is Korea Restaurant on Oak Street. I thought this place might be cheaper, but I believe they are the same price! Seafood pancake - needs to be crispier, too soft. Had good taste with the dipping sauce but needs to be fried more. Rice cake with spicy sauce and dish cake. I have never had this dish with fish cake but it wasn't bad. Not my fav dish. Rice cake could have been softer. Beef Bulgogi and the Kalbi were both excellent! Cooked well, tender and full of flavor! I also ordered Pork Bulgogi and Japche to go but came home to open 2 orders of Pork Bulgogi! The pork Bulgogi was really good but I was disappointed to not try the Japche so guess I'll have to come back. Overall the food was pretty good. We were happy with the quality of the food. read more

Been a while since the last time we ate here; blame it on pandemic and street parking at the U. One thing I realized, the price has gone more than 50% since before the pandemic; hope some of the proceeds help the folks working at the place. As to the food, we had dolsot bibimbap, mul naeng myeo (cold sour noodle), kimbap. All are very good; we love this place. read more

I was finally able to try this place, and it did not disappoint! I got the jajangmyeon (black bean noodles), and I think it might have been the best I've had. The flavors were perfect, and the portions were enough to make me full. It also came with three side dishes that were also amazing! The cashier/servers were very pleasant and understanding. They were willing to help with anything and got my food out quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant was chill. It's a nice place to grab a quick meal and head out. It wasn't too loud or busy and had a variety of places to sit. read more

I have been in search of a new Korean restaurant since I moved to the area. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options, especially near where I live, but decided to make the trek here. It is in the college area, so there is only street parking, and it is very limited. The restaurant is quite small, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but this place is AMAZING! First, their portion sizes were incredible, especially for the price! The quality and taste of this restaurant is also very very good! I was very impressed and very sad that I will not be able to come in here as often as I would like, mainly because of the distance. But if you are in search for authentic, high quality yet budget friendly, this is the place for you! read more

Okay, U of M students have it so good. Why didn't I come here sooner? I didn't think it was going to be a "order-at-the-counter" type of situation but it worked out okay. However, this didn't lead to us to getting our food faster but I guess it makes getting in and out of there easier. We did wait quite a while for our food (but it was a busy Saturday night). I enjoyed the japchae with tofu. Saucy and full of flavor without being overpowering. It was enough for lunch the next day. I enjoyed the banchan dishes. Their portions were smaller than what I've seen at other places but I guess that goes alone with their fast casual vibes. The kimchi pancake was delicious. Pan fried perfectly and crispy. You get a lot of pieces so it's good to share between 3-4 people. A little more expensive than I've seen but worth it. Boyfriend loved the bulgogi. It was a good portion for him (he eats a lot) and worth the money in both our opinions. Restaurant itself was extremely loud and got a little hot but overall, the space was efficiently laid out. I'll echo what some others said about service and say it was definitely not the best, but if you don't have expectations for that given the fast casual-ness/chaotic-ness of it all, then it's fine. I would come back for the portions/prices alone (not service). read more

Best ttoekbokki in town!! Perfectly spicy with tasty add-ins. Great service & reasonable prices!

Truly excellent beef bulgogi. When it came out sizzling I knew it was going to be good. The beef was of the highest quality, very generously portioned, in a savoury/sweet sauce that nicely complemented the fatty beef. The rice was standard. The star of this dish is the beef. The dish was served with the standard Korean banchan sides. read more
