Quick break for lunch and I was craving either sushi or kimbap this one particular day. I chose kimbap heaven since they looked like a new business and had affordable lunch options. Once inside, I was so impressed by the interior: clean, minimalistic and had a projector with a World Cup game playing. I ordered the bulgogi kimbap and a side of gyozas. It also came with a side miso soup and for $20 in the city, you can't beat this. Kimbap was made to order and very filling. Bulgogi was tender and not overly soy-saucey. I would definitely come back for lunch. read more

Whenever I travel, one of my biggest concerns is finding good meals. During my trip to San Francisco last February, I ordered food from here and absolutely loved it. Ever since then, I've been looking forward to coming back. This time, my husband ordered the Jeyuk Bokkeum, and it was absolutely amazing. It was so delicious. We are planning to visit San Francisco again this fall, and this place is already on our list. We will definitely be ordering from here again. (I would appreciate it if you could make sure to include the utensils requested in the order next time.) read more

i was craving kimbap and had kimbap heaven saved for awhile. the bulgogi kimbap was truly incredible, everything tasted super high quality. the bulgogi was very well seasoned and every bite was a symphony of flavors in my mouth. if you dine in, they also bring you a small soup. i got the small tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) and it was good but not outstanding, i would pass on this next time. the kimbap is definitely what makes this spot excellent!! i would highly recommend kimbap heaven and can't wait to come back. read more

Close to work but I don't think I can add it to my lunch rotation because service is too SLOW for one kimbap roll and no dip. Noticed a lot of others waiting long times as well. Need to move with more urgency or you'll lose customers. read more

I ordered some Kimbap to go on the Fantuan app. First of all, the gps location of the restaurant is way off...the area this restaurant is located at is the most dangerous part of the SF and the gps was taking me to a complete wrong street and I felt very unsafe considering there were shady people all around me. I checked the google map after. The store location pin does not reflect the correct street. I arrived at the restaurant after the app shows my order is ready to pick up but I ended up waiting more than 30 minutes to get my order. People arrived after me, placed order in store, and got their food before me. I had to wait anxiously in the store worrying about my car which totally killed my appetite. No matter how good the Kimbap tastes my experience is already ruined. I went through Kimbap Hell at Kimbap Heaven. read more

This was authentic and so delicious! Picked up a late night snack before bed with my kiddos. Service was great and it was a very clean & cute restaurant that you can also enjoy your meal there or take home. We decided to walk there from our hotel- probably not the greatest idea around that area. Overall this spot was so delicious and it definitely hit the spot! Their kimbap was so big and tasty! I wish they gave me more radish, but overall it was very satisfying. They take card only just fyi! read more

| visited Kimbap Heaven literally 20 minutes ago for the first time and I have to post about it! I got the fried shrimp kimbap and it was incredibly delicious and fresh! There were a lot of different textures and flavors. There were varying levels of crispness from the fried shrimp and veggies. The pickled daikon was refreshingly bright. I liked that the kimbap was packed with ingredients with a perfect layer of rice. It was filling, especially with the miso soup that came with it. They did a great job renovating the space, which used to be a vegetarian Thai restaurant. It's brighter and feels more open. I took my order to go, but the gentleman who took my order was nice. And I got my food within 15 minutes. I'm definitely coming back to try the rose tteokbokki. read more

Date: Monday, October 13th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch Delivery Time Ordered: around 2:15pm Time Delivered: about 30 mins later Ordered Thru: DoorDash Delivered To: Outer Richmond *Fish Cake Soup 어묵탕 ($6.99) *Fried Seaweed Roll: 4 PCS ($4.99) *SSam Kimbap ($13.99) *Basic Kimbap ($10.99) Quick, easy, not too expensive. I believe the hubby picked this spot since he wanted something that reminded him of home? I however, just wanted the fish cake soup. It was tasty - savory soup, chewy cakes, slight sweetness from the onions. I believe he enjoyed the kimbap. Tho he likes to add srirachi to every single bite. The seaweed rolls were just meh. I can't recall what the hubs was expecting, but it wasn't this. Decent spot to grab fast korean food. REVIEW #3869 read more

Came back half a year later from opening and everything gotten better. The kimbap is nicely wrap tight. The rose tteokbokki was pretty good. Not that spicy but still have a small kick. Can't go wrong with the seaweed roll. The ssam was super tight that you can actually taste the crunch lettuce. The bulgogi kimbap was good even with the spam kimbap. read more

An old sketchy Burger King turned into a high tech Ghost Kitchen. Although it looks like 3 mall food court kiosks, the digital menu is like 15 restaurants. I went with the highest rated on Yelp and did my own pickup with that cool cubby system. Bulgogi Kimbap: Pretty good quality kimbap. Seemingly made-to-order since the rice seemed fresh, unlike the stale rice you get in Korean grocery store kimbap. Had so many nice ingredients in the middle to complement the bulgogi. Really love all those pickled veggies. Musubi Kimbap: Looked nothing like the photo. It was essentially a regular kimbap, but with spam for the meat. So felt a lot more kimbap-like than musubi-like. Tasty, but I the bulgogi version is better. Soy Garlic Wings: It feels a bit pricey to pay $30.40 for 10 wings that you pickup yourself. But they are good quality. Crispy skin with very light battering. No squishy fat underneath, indicating it was probably double-fried so all the fat had been cooked off. Nice tangy soy garlic sauce. read more

I called in at 3:30pm for a pickup order at 5:15pm (14 items!). They called to let me know it wouldn't be ready until 5:40pm due to a sudden surge of orders. It worked out since I was late getting out of work. When I got there around 5:30pm, I still had a bit of a wait but they offered me a seat and water while I waited. There's white zone and yellow zone parking on Willow St, right around the corner. My order was finished around 5:50pm. One of the staff kindly helped me carry my order to my car (3 bags full). When I got home, I was pretty amazed with the amount of food there was. It was all good, only complaint from our group was that some of the rice seemed a bit mushy. Items that I'd order again: Rabboki Rose tteokbokki Bburinkle chicken Musubi kimbap Bulgolgi kimbap Ssam kimbap Things I'd like to try: All their rice plates (My kid loved the tonkatsu rice plate) The interior of the restaurant looked clean and bright. They had K-pop playing from a projector on the blank white wall. Not my thing but could be nice if dining in. Hope to try more one day! read more

3.5 STARS NGL, I was hoping for a fork to come with my kimbap. I mean, this is the Mid-Market area. J/k! But, including a faux metal fork it would have been a cute ode to Squid Games. I'm always on a hunt for affordable lunch options near the office so I was happy to find Kimbap Heaven on yelp. While the business notes, they're a "restaurant" on yelp, they're a ghost kitchen inside Mid Market Eats. They share a space with over 18 other concepts inside the old Burger King space. It's takeout and delivery only. You can find them on 3rd party apps, order ahead direct: https://midmarketeats.com/, or in-person via kiosks. M E N U Array of kimbap (korean seaweed rice rolls), KFC, ramyun, tteokbokki, rice plates (galbi, bulgogi, donkatsu, etc), and housemade banchan. O R D E R I N G To beat the lunch rush, I placed a direct order on Mid Market Eats around opening time and was quoted 14 minutes. When I arrived, I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for my order. Without asking, the kind front desk employee ran downstairs four times to check with Kimbap Heaven on my order (thank you!). I hope they're able to give more accurate wait times for those on break and need to get back to work. F O O D * Tuna Mayo Kimbap ($12.99): https://tinyurl.com/3nmfbpr5 Large, filling kimbap with canned tuna, surimi, egg, fishcake, spinach, burdock, carrots, and pickled daikon. While I appreciate that the kimbap had little rice, it was on the bland side, missing a creamy tang. Easy fix with adding more mayo to match their menu description of "rich and creamy". The kimbap also includes a side of hot green onion soup. * Housemade Kimchi ($3.99) Maybe because the kimchi had been sitting for a while but it was mushy and too sour, akin to commercial ones. Overall, Kimbap Heaven is the only kimbap specialty place in the city (Woori Food Market/Catering does have a handful of kimbap options tho) so worth trying if you're in the Civic Center/Mid-Market area. Unfortunately, I have to round down for the long wait time. read more

We love the kimbap and their fried seaweed rolls. However, the wait for it to be ready was over an hour, Not sure if we will keep ordering from them.this happened once before. Do not order if you are hungry. read more

Great food! Good service. K-Pop videos! The Fish Cake Soup was perfect. The fried shrimp Kimbop was tasty. Fresh

I did pick up and found that it was a cloud kitchen. Reminiscent of the restaurant chain of the same name all over Korea, this place specializes in kimbap and other street food items. The kimchi cheese kimbap was amazing. The roll itself was huuuge and it had all the proper authentic filling that you'd see in a kimbap in Korea. I also really appreciated that they didn't not skimp out on the egg--the egg really makes or breaks a kimbap. The ddukbokki was absolutely on par with the street ddukbokki you get in Korea. They used flour based dduk so even after the dish had cooled down the texture of the dduk stayed super chewy. The sauce was also the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. read more

Clean! Neat! Friendly staff. Delicious and fair price. Surrounding area may not be "favorable" and parking is nonexistent, but if you can stop by during the day or walk here, definitely give it a try. Good Korean food. Closes rather early 2030-2130 depending on the day. read more

Since this place opened, I have wanted to go and try their food. Got the Tteokbokki, seaweed rolls and dumplings. Not only was the price great, the food is addictive and the food was plenty for two people. Ten out of ten. Looking forward to eating there again. read more

Kimbap heaven is located in a ghost kitchen. You can order on ordering platforms or in person at their kiosks. Staff were friendly and can assist or answer questions. I got their fried shrimp kimbap and it came with an onion soup. The kimbap itself was on the greasier end but it did ultimately have really good flavor. I think the thing that stood out was the onion soup. It reminded me of benihanas onion soup! read more

This is actually a nice place to order food from. The food here is great also they don't serve just Korean food here. They also have pizza here. The Korean food I had here tasted great. The service was friendly and the ambiance of this place is very nice. A great place to have lunch or dinner. This place is mostly a takeout place. I give them 4 stars. I may come back again read more

I've tried this place via delivery a couple times now and have been disappointed. The fish cake soup is pretty good but today I got the fried shrimp kimbap and the shrimp had shells on it. It was hard to remove the shell because of the fried outer layer. I don't think I'll be a repeat customer here. read more

Had the regular kimbap and tteokbokki. Both were good and reasonably priced. The kimbap ingredients seemed fresh. The tteokbokki wasn't overly sweet which I was happy with. The restaurant is clean and looks nice and modern. Would return! read more

I think in the last two years I've never left a review for a restaurant. I was blown away by the Rose Tteokbokki. What incredible flavors and textures. And very fresh and I ordered delivery. Will definitely look forward to eating here again. I am very picky. read more

I love the kimchi and cheese Kimbap I ordered. I will definitely go back to try more dishes.

I wish I had taken some photos, but I was too busy shoving food down my throat This place is legit. Its new and their Korean 'deli' or 'street food' items are to die for. Im so glad I stumbled upon Kimbap Heaven because it really hits the spot. I highly recommend the tuna kimbap and donkatsu (fried pork). read more

The best Kimbap! We have eaten kimbap all over, including Korea. Great variety, made to order, fresh ingredients, and served with graciousness and pride. You need to call ahead to order since she often needs to close early since she runs out of ingredients and has so many orders to fill. read more

I usually don't care enough to leave reviews, but I ordered here for my lunch break (been on kimbap kick), and I was excited for it (cause it was recommended by my coworker). I was so disappointed, and I paid around $12-$14 per roll for online order. I ordered bulgogi, tuna mayo, and veggie kimbap. The bulgogi was so dry, I couldn't even believe it. I added sesame oil and condiments to compensate (usually should have sesame oil on the seaweed anyways). The veggie one was also flavorless and underwhelming. The best one out of the three was the tuna mayo. I usually go to Woori on Fillmore for kimbap, they aren't not even charging half the price, and totally worth it. Or Kingbob, but around or less the price they are charging here. read more

Tteokbokki was on the sweeter side but true to Korean taste. Probably the best chewy texture, shape and size rice cakes ive had that I can remember and ive had many. Personalized Kimbap and Basic Kimbap hit the spot and the free soup on the side really ties the meal together so nicely, helps wash the kimbap down :p No other spot provides the soup. I dont think I can have kimbap any other way now read more

Very efficient concept with the online ordering/locker system, but the food wasn't that great. I got bulgogi kimbap, and the beef was pretty dry and had none of that sweet saucy goodness of bulgogi. Also, there was a huge portion of fake crab stick in middle of the bulgogi roll which tastes pretty odd/unappetizing mixed with beef, and feels like a way to cut back on the beef portion (which was miniscule, probably a pebble of buglogi in each roll). I don't think I would come back as is. read more

Food was very good and the service was quick. Did not know it was from a ghost kitchen, so was difficult to locate but once you're in, there's a few spots to sit and eat. Careful when walking outside... read more

It's not a walk in restaurant like expected. But food was decent, service is somewhat questionable and it's a crammed space.

This was my first time trying food from this place, and it was such a delightful experience. As a Korean, I can tell when Korean food is truly good, and this place absolutely deserves a 5-star rating! I ordered Kimbap (tuna and bulgogi), fish cake soup, fried chicken (which was so crispy and perfectly seasoned!), and tteokbokki. These dishes are usually enjoyed as street food in Korea, but here, they've been elevated to something truly special. I'm so grateful to the owner for the love and care they put into their food. If you're wondering what I mean, I encourage you to try it for yourself. I look forward to trying other dishes on the menu!! read more

Great takeout and delivery. Tteokbokki is actually really good. It's one of my go to places for good tteokbokki. I've also had the tuna mayo kimbap and it was decent. The ingredients feel fresh. But it's not too different from hmart kimbap etc. Overall, solid place to go to often for Korean food. read more

I am glad that I found this restaurant that serves authentic Korean food. The fried chicken was soooo crispy and delicious. Tteokbokki was best one that I had tried in bay area restaurants. Tuna kimbab was so delicious and I was surprised by the extra large size. Bulgogi kimbab was good but it was a little sweet for me. I definitely recommend this place and I will revisit. read more

Very nice to enjoy Korean authentic foods! I enjoyed kimbab, tukboki, and fried chicken very much.
