    1.소고기 김밥/Beef Kimbap(2rolls), 6.소세지 김밥/Sausage Kimbap(2rolls), 11.돈까스김밥/Pork Cutlet Kimbap(2rolls)
    Amy N.

    Picked up some Kimbap rolls from here for a get-together. I ordered the marinated beef, sausage, and pork cutlet rolls. My friends and I really liked the pork cutlet rolls! I would highly recommend trying these ones, although they are kind of pricey at $14. I was meh about the marinated beef and sausage. I couldn't really taste any distinct flavors, and I didn't hear any comments from my friends. Service was fast. I placed a phone order and was told the order would be ready in 15 minutes. This was done on a Friday 5/15/26 at lunchtime. The eatery has a small parking lot. On Friday late mornings, parking is not an issue. There was plenty of seating available.

    Needed a quick meal before an event and thank goodness this was close by! Also there were plenty of free parking spots available on a weekday evening. I ordered in advance in case to avoid the wait and my order was right at the cashier. Quick to pick up! The restaurant was also very spacious with plenty of tables. I ordered the stir fry fish cake kimbap and honestly the portion and the price was a pretty good value ($10)! I would say that the kimbap could be more flavorful, but definitely very easy and healthy to have. Maybe could have used more sesame oil? Nice experience overall!

    Fish cake w $1 add on sesame leaf.

    Ordered their fishcake with $1 add on (sesame leaf) to go. It was pretty solid. I love how they give you extra slices of pickled daikon. It's a great value, 2 rolls for about $10.50 + tax. While waiting for them to make it, I saw on their TV screen they had so many homestyle dishes (Bunshik). - I will definitely go back and dine in to try it all

    We ordered takeout: Tuna kimbap x 2 rolls ($10.50) Pork cutlet kimbap x 2 rolls ($14.00) Fishcake kimbap x 2 rolls ($9.50) All kimbap has its own unique flavors, giving us surprise. Even our kids love every bite of it! I wish they have another location closer to Chino Hills.

    Tuna kimbap
    Michelle T.

    If you come here order kimbap. I tried the beef and tuna kimbap. The beef was better, in my opinion. The tuna tasted lemony. I also tried the rice cakes with cheese but it was not good. It tasted overcooked and dry. It was nice that the staff provided soup and side dishes. Parking was free. There's a security guy making sure you are a customer. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses in the plaza.

    Marina S.

    My absolute favorite when I am in a rush. Service is fast whether you are dinning in or taking out. I usually take out and it is perfect every-time. Seating is a bit on the smaller side but it is never too packed. Food is always fresh and tasty. My favorites are the spam and crab roll and shrimp tempura. A full order comes with two pieces so make sure you specify if you only want one roll.

    Nicole D.

    Food: The fishcake kimbap is huge! It was about $9 and we were shocked how much was in one order. The roll tasted so fresh! The sweet and sour chicken was also great, we thought it paired really well with the kimbap. We only ordered two items and were so full, we're excited to return to try their other items! Parking: There's a free parking lot in the plaza but it can get crowded fast. There's surrounding metered and neighborhood parking.

    I WILL NEVER BE COMING BACK! I have loved coming here for the past few months since I discovered this place. I thought the food was great and the service was to par but a moment would take all that away from me. For context I came with family and it was only four of us, 2 being children, i ended paying most of the bill and a family member ended up paying the rest and since i figured i was paying most of the bill id let this family member include tip so I didn't tip at the register. According to this family member the moment i went to the restroom, this tall gentleman who is always waiting around shook his head, and my family member had asked "what was wrong? Did their card not go through?" The Man at the register had said no, and said "nothing". But something seemed off and so they proceeded to re-ask and according to the this Man he shook his head because I didn't tip. When I heard about this I was shocked and honestly made me upset. On this day we order 2 rolls a miso soup and fried spicy chicken, I however ended up taking most of it home because I was already full from the roll. I don't think we had asked for much for him to feel so entitled for a tip. And in the mist of all this I ended up with an upset stomach and had no other choice but to throw the food away. I'd be cautious eating here.

    Tuna and smoked beef Kimbap.

    Kimbap Paradise has become my go to place for Kimbap when I pass through town. I love that they offer a variety of Kimbap combinations, my favorites so far being tuna and smoked beef. Yom! I've also tried a couple of other dishes. They did not disappoint. And in the land where there more parking garages than parking lots, I also appreciate sliding in and out and getting on my way easily. Kimbap makes the best roadtrip snacks!

    If you're craving Korean food this is the place. The parking lot does have plenty of parking but I did go late at night so there was plenty of sitting and parking. I ordered the spicy rice cakes with ramen noodles and cheese and it was so good. The sauce has enough flavor and it was not too spicy! I also order the bulgogi kimbap and it was so huge, it could feed 2-3 people comfortably! They were both delicious! Absolutely coming back.

    Favorite kimbap spot for three reasons: - I always get the fried shrimp. It comes with the lemony sweet creamy sauce. Tastes fantastic. - They can make it without rice (usually more vegetables) - Easy parking in a lot You can dine there or order ahead online to go. There can be a bit of a wait though either way but I know they are making it fresh to order! One two roll order is good for a light to medium meal (w/o rice).

    Needed a few kimbap to go. When I got there, there is a wall up kiosk to order takeout. Simple to use and also tells you how long it will take for your order. While waiting, saw that they have a busy take out business and also delivery. Order was ready in the upper end of the time given. Fresh, made to order, and enough for a lunch. Presented well in the to go box. Had the fish cake kimbap and the shrimp kimbap. Both were tasty and perfect ratio of rice to ingredients. Definitely one of the best in the K-town area.

    This is an overdue review, but I had to share! I ordered two rolls of kimbap and spicy stir-fried soondae--everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back--drooling just thinking about it!

    Korean food is very tasty and authentic. Plus, they are opened late if you arrive late from your travels.

    I do really like the kimbaps here. It's simple yet filling and is just a great snack. And it's quick service.

    Does anything here contains nuts?

    Is it possible to customize tteokbokki to be vegan?

    The teokkbokki has no meat but the soup base has beef stock.

    Gluten free options?

    Unfortunately we don't have gluten free options.

    What are the vegan options on the menu?

    Most of our menu can be customized. We highly recommend bibimbap without meat and egg if you have just started experiencing Korean food. Also, curry is vegetarian.… 

    Do they have outdoor seating?

    I don't think so :(

    Do they use any delivery service?

    They do. Grub Hub if I remember / recall.

    I called since yesterday. their phone is disconnected. did they close?

    No, I was just there on Saturday and they were open and no signs that they would be closing.

I really enjoyed the creaminess and how it just came together with the sliced pear and candied walnuts. Wish i ordered one bowl just for myself haha. Was sad that the zabuton was not on the menu but they had the chuck flat. Still think the zabuton tasted better! Service was great. Music wasn't as loud as when we first went. It was a great family meal! Can't wait to come back.

Centered around a large display of Banchan, your table may feel too small to accommodate the dining experience. Best be enjoyed in small groups, the communal experience is incredible. Pricing is fixed, and there is a minimum order requirement of two protein dishes. Everything else will be included to round out the dining experience. The service was beyond agreeable. Especially for new patrons, the staff is understanding and willing to explain the menu. This is a fine dining experience elevated by many traditional Korean flavors. Everyone gets a large bowl of barley rice, and you can build your own bowl with the many kinds of Banchan. Sauces and soups are also served to round the palate. Priced as fine dining, this place feels like a special occasion choice, or if you're seeking more traditional Korean foods. Parking is available in a private lot, which can be quite the godsend in this neighborhood.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
