    3. Spicy Tuna Kimbap / 매운 참치 김밥
    Julie H.

    Annnd I'm back again. $30 for 2 orders of spicy tuna Kimbap. Can't beat the quality and price!

    Great tasting kimbap which is made to order with fresh ingredients. I ordered the beef kimbap, my go-to kimbap, and it did not disappoint. My only gripe is the price. $15 for kimbap is kinda wild. Historically, at least in Korea, kimbap has always been known to be cheap and reserved for the broke person who is looking for a quick meal on a tight budget. This price doesn't fit that description at all. With that being said, I would come back here to satisfy my kimbap craving with no hesi.

    I picked up a box of beef Kimbap as a snack today. It was freshly made. $14 They do offer inside seatings with a few tables and chairs. Friendly service. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    13. Shrimp Tempura Kimbap/새우튀김 김밥
    Yena W.

    This is where i go when i want kimbap made by aunties and ummas because i cannot for the life of me roll a nice kimbap and i am okay with this personal cooking flaw, this inability of mine to prepare a deceptively simple korean staple food as a korean person, because i can just go to kimbap paradise and order 10 slices for myself for a quick meal, or order their kimbap party tray that i would never lie about by telling my crowd of course i made these for them, no, it was made by the loving hands of the nice agassis at kimbap paradise. There are only a couple tables inside and none outside so definitely order ahead for takeout. Tell the kind ladies hello and thank you, bless their hard working hands that rolled your beautiful kimbap for you.

    Party Tray (6 orders): 8. Vegetable Kimbap / 2. Tuna Kimbap / 1. Beef Kimbap /
    Corona S.

    It was my first time here, and after hearing great things, I decided to order a party tray of kimbap for a work function and it was a hit! My Korean colleague even said it was one of the best she's had, and I completely agree. I called ahead to place the order and got three flavors (vegetable, beef, and tuna), two of each, for a total of six rolls. All were delicious, but the tuna was my personal favorite. The lady who took my order was so friendly and patient, and when I came to pick it up, she was just as warm and welcoming in person. The shop itself is small with just a couple of tables, so you can also sit down and enjoy your kimbap right away if you'd like. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Ordered the spicy pork kimbap and it was great! Very flavorful meat and the rest of the vegetables were fresh. The bulgogi kimbap here also tastes amazing. They filled the kimbap very full as well and did not skimp on the ingredients. I ordered my order for takeout as the seating is a bit limited, however parking is ample in the large lot. Would come back!

    kimbap is good but i don't think it's worth of the price around $16. service was quick. it's a small place with lots of parking. overall, not bad but not sure if i would get it again.

    11. Bulgogi Kimbap / 불고기 김밥  2. Tuna Kimbap / 참치 김밥
    Sahar A.

    I've been on the hunt for a kimbap restaurant that tastes like the kimbap I had when I visited Korea, and this place is definitely it. The flavors taste authentic and really reminded me of what I had there. The vegetables are all seasoned perfectly. This is easily my favorite kimbap spot right now, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving kimbap.

    This small shop is located in what seemed to me to be a plaza full of other Korean shops. I was very surprised. The store sign says 'KBOP TOP 10'. I happened to be in the area and heard a lot of good things about this place so I thought I'd stop by. The staff were very nice and they had a family kind of dynamic. Kimbap is made fresh. I got the bulgogi kimbap. There are 18 pieces in one order. The shop is small with only a few tables. I'm on the fence about this place. The kimbap was okay. I wasn't blown away by it. I don't know if it usually comes with any sauces or not but I felt like it was missing something. For ppl who like kimbap, my all time favorite is still Chan Chan. I don't think I will be coming back here as it is quite a drive from where I am.

    18. Fire Fishcake Kimbap / 불오뎅김밥
    Catherine T.

    no other place specializes in kimbap like they do! the flavor and quality are consistently good across many menu items, but this time i wanted to get one of my go-tos: the fire fishcake! (the spice was spicing...) it's rolled right then and there, so it will take some time for them to make it (a full bts music video, which they'll play on a small tv screen for you, or around 4 minutes). with that in mind, you can rest assured the ingredients used are fresh since they package it after you order and pay. you get around 3 rolls of your chosen kimbap. i paid $12.95 for the fire fishcake, so it's a bit on the pricier side even though it's one of the cheaper rolls offered. it's a cute shop that's a little cramped, so it's definitely just a spot to stay for a short time if you plan to eat there.

    Shannon Z.

    Kimbap here is really delicious and hits the spot! They have a variety of flavors. We ordered the beef, tuna, and shrimp. The sauce it comes with is super delicious (tastes sort of like wasabi flavored). They also offer party trays for bigger events!

    4 only because of the confusing signage. It looks like KBOP Top 10, but it's actually K Bop Top 10 Kimbap Paradise. If you ever wondered what authentic kimbap tastes like. This is the place. So good, fresh, and a ton of selection. Not in the mood? They have ramen, tteoboki and lots of other sides like cheesy fried rice. You'll also find some unique beverages to go with your

    Natalie N.

    My favorite Kimbap place! It's always made fresh to go and the ladies are so sweet here! The spicy pork and spicy tuna mayo are def spicy but also my two faves here. I love how there's soo many options and combos to choose from and it's worth the price for the amt of rolls you get. I always cater this for my parties and it's a big hit. Not much sitting area but it's more of a grab and go place.

I went with their "Combo B", which came with three types of pork for $69. They grill the meats for you and the meat was nicely crusted with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. It's perfect. What brings the experience to another level is their pickled vegetables, kimchi, and scallion salad, which brings acidity to balance out the fatty pork. Then you also have some nice seasonings (soybean paste, wasabi, salt, and seasoned soy) to give some other flavor variations to the meat. We asked for a side of rice, which was perfectly steamed.

The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full.

Everyone is nice, they're always on the move, but always willing to help when needed. Food, I never had a bad thing here. And oh my goodness, a one page menu, decision fatigue has lessened! The simple go to for a lot of us has been the Katsu Curry. It's big, but never skimps on flavor. The texture is perfectly crispy, and the meat is juicy! The curry is full of flavor, and all of that with rice, is served in a big stone bowl. So it stays warm your whole meal. Garlic Su Yuk has been a comfort dish since say 1 for me. It's just comfy, with the toppings, I just need to add rice and that's my happy meal. Tofu Stew is that thing I get if I'm either craving soup, or I really need to open my chest because asthma is a pain in the booty. You get that bowl of rice, so I like to add the fried egg to that, let me say that yolk from the egg is an enhancement. The dish is perfect, but egg elevates it!
