I've been wanting to try this place since seeing it on social media and honestly.... I can see why it's viral. I ordered pickup pretty late in the day so didn't have any issues parking, but keep in mind that the lot it's in is pretty small so parking may be difficult. As for the food, I got the three taco combo and opted for the salmon, unagi, and spicy tuna (with k-pepper mayo on the side). Salmon: Fantastic. The chunks of salmon were plentiful, big, and fresh. This was my favorite and the addition of the k-pepper mayo made it sooo good Unagi: Good! I'd order again. The eel had a really nice glaze. Wasn't expecting the addition of imitation crab, but I liked it Spicy tuna: Good, but I don't think I'd order again. Was mainly imitation crab with a bit of tuna on top Overall, I enjoyed and would order again! Would recommend ordering in advance online :) read more

Kingbop - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Kingbop had been on my radar for a minute so I finally made the trip. It's tucked away in a little strip mall and the parking lot is tiny. Street parking is the move because this place stays busy. Walked in and it was packed, placed my order at the self service kiosk and settled in for a wait. There were a ton of to go orders ahead of mine but in my experience that's always a good sign. Got the Crispy Shrimp and Spicy Crab Sushi Taco to go and it was worth the wait. Sweet, savory, and looked just as good as it tasted. One thing worth mentioning, the tails are still on the shrimp so don't get so caught up in how good it looks that you forget to remove them first. My only other regret was not ordering more of them. read more

I've been seeing the place every time I go to the Chinese place across the street from this, but I decided to switch it up today. I looked at some reviews, and everyone seemed to like the sushi taco. Location/Parking: Washington/ Western is a pretty busy intersection, and there's a strip mall on every corner. The parking lot was small, and it's located right next to the Insurance place. There are also two bus lines you can take to get here. Inside/ambiance: I couldn't take pics, but it's like a typical small fast-food joint with a few tables and chairs and a cute yellow interior. The place gets really busy (don't worry, it's not community good busy) because some people said they saw the sushi tacos on TikTok. Friendly Staff too!! Food/Price: In addition to sushi tacos, they also sell other Korean fast food like Budae Jjigae, kimbap, and Tteok-bokki. I ordered the 18-piece boneless chicken with flavors and a crab-shrimp sushi taco just to try them out. The total came to $50. They have 6- and 10-piece options for less. I didn't get a drink, but they offer canned sodas or drinks like lattes, match, and other refreshers. Overall, it's a bit pricey (like most LA places), but I will definitely come back and try more dishes on the menu. P.S. They have a small kiosk in there if you don't wanna wait in line to order. read more

Kingbop - Fried Chicken: Soy Garlic, Sweet and Spicy and Original. Crab and Shrimp Sushi Taco on the right. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Korean fusion street food spot. Creative takes on Korean classics like tteokbokki. They're especially popular for the sushi tacos also called Kimbop Tacos. The crunchy sushi tacos were large, deep-fried nori shells filled with seasoned rice and toppings like spicy tuna, salmon, unagi (eel), shrimp or beef belly, plus sauce/s of your choice (mentaiko mayo, ssamjang mayo). The crispy texture contrasted the soft fillings, bold flavors and of course a generous size. Prices are around $12 each, with combos available. Relativity affordable Korean soul food with fusion twists, Some may find it as a one-time novelty experience. Parking can be tricky in the area. If you're in LA and like bold, shareable eats, it's worth checking out, especially the tacos. read more

Came to this place after seeing it on Instagram. The parking for this place is not the best. We had to park in the surrounding neighborhood. After we ordered, it took maybe 15-20 minutes to receive our food. The inside isn't the biggest, but we got lucky and got a table. I would most definitely try this place again. I recommend you try it. read more

Kingbop - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After seeing KingBop on TikTok featuring their crunchy sushi tacos, my girlfriend immediately wanted to try it because she loves crunchy food, and honestly, it lived up to the hype. What they do is pretty unique. They fry sushi paper into a taco shell shape, then layer white rice and imitation crab on the bottom before topping it with your protein of choice. We tried the thinly sliced pork belly, fried shrimp, eel, and tuna. They also offer options like calamari and others. The tacos themselves were fantastic. The pork belly especially stood out with really good flavor, and they're generous with the amount of protein they put into each taco. The tuna was probably the weakest of the ones we tried. It sounded better in theory than it actually tasted, so I'd probably skip that one next time. Everything else was excellent. The biggest downside here is honestly the parking and the layout of the location. Parking is rough. The strip mall is tiny, street parking nearby is heavily restricted, and there are a lot of red curbs and permit-only areas. I ended up parking across the street and walking over. A lot of people were double parking too, which made traffic even more chaotic. Inside, you order from a digital kiosk, then wait in a very small dining area for your food. The restaurant was extremely busy even on a Tuesday around 1 PM. I actually felt bad for the people dining inside because the tables are packed tightly together, and then you have customers standing around between tables waiting for orders. Space is clearly limited, but the setup makes it feel crowded very quickly. Waiting outside wasn't much better because there's a dumpster nearby that smelled pretty bad, especially in the heat. That said, once we got the food, grabbed napkins, and went back across the street to eat in the car, the experience immediately improved. The presentation was great, and they even use styrofoam containers with built-in slots that hold the tacos upright so they don't spill or fall apart during transport, which was a smart touch. The staff was also very friendly, and considering how busy and cramped the place was, they handled things well. Overall, I would definitely go back. The food itself is creative, crunchy, flavorful, and genuinely fun to eat. Just be prepared for the parking and tight space situation before you go. read more

Wanted to try their sushi tacos so badly after seeing them on social media! I ordered via DoorDash, and everything arrived packaged really nicely. I ordered the shrimp tempura taco, salmon taco, and spicy tuna taco for around $10 each. The seaweed was fried to perfection and stayed so crispy!! The spicy tuna taco (4/5) was my fav, followed by the shrimp tempura (3/5). The salmon taco (2/5) didn't taste very fresh which sucked bc I usually love salmon. Their tacos are overall just okay for me, the idea sounded great in theory but I wasn't particularly impressed with any of the flavors. Unfortunately probably wont be returning with so many other great options nearby but if I do, I'd stick with the spicy tuna taco or try something else on their menu. I'm glad I got to try the sushi tacos out!! read more

Saw these sushi tacos on YouTube and had to try! Bring your appetite! Y'all ain't ready. First of all they're huge! The shells are battered and fried and so crispy! Which offsets the nice soft comforting fillings. I had the 3 taco special unagi, spicy tuna and salmon. Y'all the crunchy sweet spicy and savory did a number on my taste buds and I LOVE it!! My partner had the pork belly taco. He said it was amazing! I was too full to try it. He also had the bulgogi kimbop roll and it was FIRE!!! I don't know what that sauce was with it but it was absolutely DIVINE! If you haven't tried this place yet WHAT ARE UOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?! It was delivered to us very fast so I can't speak about the ambiance! We definitely plan on stopping in for quite a few bites next time. read more

This place was trending on socials and for good reason. Had to get my hands on their viral sushi tacos and boy they did not disappoint. Run NOt walk. You won't be disappointed. First of all, these tacos are HUgE. The outer layer is a super crispy seaweed shell that is packed with sushi rice, and your choice of toppings. I ordered their spicy tuna, salmon, and their spicy bulgogi tacos, and they were all fabulous. Spicy tuna taco-sushi rice with a pretty hefty load of spicy tuna and avocado slices on top. Fantastic. Salmon taco: sushi rice with a good portion of fresh salmon sashimi bites and avocado slices. This was good too, and apparently one of the popular tacos. Spicy bulgogi taco: sushi rice with a very good portion of Korean BULGOGI meat, and topped with jalapeño slices which really made this dish. Highly recommend. They also make various kimbops as well. Ordered the egg blob kimbop which is scrambled eggs, diced carrots, lettuce and avocado. Very good. There were so many different types of Kim-bops I would just love to try (apparently they're known for their kimbop before the tacos blew up on social media). They also had other dishes such as the Tteokbokki. Got to come back to try them all...but would come back for just their tacos. Side note, their parking lot is small so you either have to circle around but I suggest parking I'm in the residential for a short time that's just around the corner. Please open more store Highly highly recommend read more

Kingbop is located on the east end of the parking lot. It wasn't what I expected, it's actually a small location with a bout 6 tables inside. Honestly, not very clean looking and not the best area. You order at the kiosk, they take cards and apple/google pay. I believe you can pay cash at the counter. There were a few people ahead of us so it took about 20 minutes for us to get our order. I wanted to try a bowl from the menu but I was told they no longer sell the bowls. I had the spicy tuna sushi taco which was very good. The sign that says choose 3 save $3 is deceiving since they charge you +.50 cent to $1 for each taco depending on which protein you choose. The parking lot is small and tight. read more

We were looking for something to eat for lunch and I found this place on Yelp. My youngest son loves kimbop so I suggested this place and of course we ended up going. We were so overwhelmed because there's a lot of great options. Their kimbops are a really nice size, so 1 is pretty filling. We ordered for pick up and when we got there our food was already ready with no wait time. They have other items other than kimbap also in case you're not a fan. I did see they have sushi tacos here and if we were not in a rush that day, I probably would have ordered them because they looked amazing. Price is not bad, the restaurant is clean inside. When we visited it wasn't busy, so if you're looking for a place to eat that isn't too busy then this is it, the downside is that there is literally no parking. We had to drive around a few times, unless the locals know something we don't, but parking is a challenge. read more

Kingbop - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Kingbop is an interesting play on foods. I found it to be tasty and unique. The textures and flavor go fairly well together. For me, I think it's a one and done. This is truly a food experiment that is fun and creative. I think for the money, you can get better food. The restaurant is very small. They could probably use another kiosk or two to help move service faster. All in all it was a good experience. Parking here is a disaster too by the way. read more

My coworker had told me that he ordered King bop and had sushi tacos and I was like that sounds amazing. I had to go, so I ordered online ahead of time. Use the toast ordering online tool service was amazing. I walked in literally they were calling my name it's clean. It's nice. There's a lot of people like you can't even get into the parking lot. That's how crazy it is so if that tells you anything, you must go five stars plus! It was truly a culinary treat. I can't wait to try something else there. read more

So glad this was not a let down. Satisfying crunchy sushi tacos. The seaweed tempura shell stays intact even after a few bites. Delicious standout are the Unagi and beef belly. If you seen this on social Media....go quick...it's legit read more

Lines were long, but it moved pretty fast. You self order at a kiosk. We grabbed a table & wiped it down ourselves. No one came out to clean tables or empty the trash while we were there. We got a three sushi taco order and some bulgogi fries. I think. My husband ate those. Back to the sushi tacos, the spicy tuna was the best. It came with a sauce that the salmon taco one needed. The salmon taco was salty. The third taco was some type of beef. It was okay. The meat on the fries was cold. Kinda odd. Overall it was a good experience, we also grabbed Guatemalan sweet bread next door. Good eats, might be back. read more

Kingbop - Three taco order - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place randomly came up on my timeline of social media apps and the food really drew my attention. The thought of a Sushi taco never came about until I saw this on my phone and the reactions of people trying them. So I ordered their 3 Sushi Taco special and each one had its own special flavor to it. I had their Spicy Tuna, Pork Belly and shrimp tacos. The way these were made and presented were really nice and pretty full. The best part is that first bite of crunch from the taco along with soft fillings of the meat, rice and sauce that blasts of flavor from each taco. I also tried the Crispy Cumin Chili Wings, they were really crunchy, tender and had a nice kick of spicy. Overall this place really satisfied me with their food and I want to go back to try the other tacos. read more

There aren't many places to get andong jjimdak in LA, but this is one of them! They're in a small corner plaza so parking can be difficult unless you have good timing in the lot. The braised chicken (jjimdak) was good, but I do think there could be more glass noodles in it. The KFC and kimbap were good too. I definitely want to try more things off their menu like budaejigae and toppoki. Service is friendly and the store is clean, but there are no restrooms. read more

Definitely try this place out for their signature sushi tacos! My mom and I had: - the Spicy Tuna Taco ( 5/5): there's a reason it's a fan favorite. - Unagi Taco ( 5/5): savory and crunchy - Salmon Taco ( 4/5): lacked a bit of flavor diversity but the salmon was really buttery CONS: - These tacos are a bit pricey (~$10 each) but are huge, so one is good enough for one person. - Kingbop was PACKED with people, so service was a bit slow -- no fault to them. We were still able to find a seat and enjoy our sushi tacos. - Parking was somewhat difficult, so try parking around the corner instead of the lot. read more

Kingbop - 3 sushi taco combo: Unagi Taco, Salmon Taco, [Best] Spicy Tuna Taco - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rating for tacos is 5 star but I removed 1 star due to wait time . It's a hole in the wall category so didn't expect much (it's satisfactory ) on service, parking , ambiance etc coz it's just a small shop. Really love the crispy seaweed taco shell. We ordered a variety of tacos : pork belly, beef, salmon , tuna with tasty sauces. I would come back for it, however am guarded by the negative experienced. Here's our wait experience : 15 mins for the tasty tacos and 60 mins for the fried chicken !!! Repeat customers probably order in advance for pickup for their fried chicken; there's people waiting in line for pickup later. To watch out for (for first timers): there's is no way to tell how long the queue is as you're ordering thru kiosk that doesn't warn. Some restaurants with a staff taking order will be able to warn usually if they notice the high volume. Mom and son working hard inside to keep up with the orders and apologetic of the almost an hour wait for the box of chicken we ordered. It was supposed to be a simple meal for 2 in our group. Try asking first how long is their chicken queue before ordering thru kiosk. We ended up sharing the whole meal so everyone's eating same time. It's a hole in the wall with tasty food. We run into a celebrity there - main character of Once Upon a Time and voice of Zootopia main character. She was wearing sunglasses indoor but my kids recognized her and we had a nice chance while she waits for her food. read more

Stopped by King Bop and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The salmon was fresh, flavorful, and definitely the standout for me. Portions are generous and everything tasted well-made. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the bowls can get pretty heavy/rich after a while -- honestly, 3 would probably be way too many unless you're extremely hungry. Overall though, solid spot with good quality ingredients and I'd come back again. read more

I recently tried Kingbop and this place is fire!!We tried the crispy shrimp kimbop, unagi crab crunchy sushi tacos, and the kingbop plate. Everything was so delicious! The crunchy sushi tacos were my favorite! They had the perfect crisp crunch and definitely something I would be returning for. The kimbop was excellent and it came with a lot of rolls. The chicken plate was good too. I got it with crispy shrimp and spicy chicken &it came with a lot of food. We would've been fine with just the two items the tacos and the Kimbop but this was a good dinner to take home. Overall this place is worth the hype. The only downside is that there isn't a restroom. read more

Kingbop is one of my absolute favorite spots whenever I'm craving Korean comfort food like kimbap, tteokbokki, fried chicken, or kimchi fried rice. I've been going here for about two years now with friends and family -- probably around 7-8 times -- and every single visit has been great. All the dishes are always delicious, and the service is consistently friendly. I went again on Saturday evening, November 29, with my friends. We ordered a ton of food -- kimchi fried rice, kimbap, tteokbokki, and chicken -- and everything was so good. The staff was really kind as always, and we had such a nice time. If you love kimchi fried rice, kimbap, tteokbokki, or Korean fried chicken, I highly recommend Kingbop! read more

This place was absolutely amazing - they're big!We tried the three taco special with spicy tuna, unagi, and pork belly--and wow. The spicy tuna and unagi completely stole the show. Both were next-level. You can order ahead online through their website, and they'll have everything ready right on time--which is a huge plus. It's a small spot with limited parking, so just be prepared--but trust me, it's worth it. And let me tell you... we drove from LA all the way back home to Victorville and the tacos still had a crunch. I mean--come on. Amazing. The crunch on those tacos? Unreal. Korean soul food done right--top tier. We'll definitely be back. We didn't get to snap a picture, we just devoured them! Next time I will get a photo!! read more

These Korean sushi tacos are worth coming back for! They are priced fairly at $10 each and one of them is enough to satisfy but I'd get two if I was looking to get full. We got the beef belly and spicy tuna tacos. I liked the spicy tuna slightly more than the beef belly. It took about 20 minutes for the tacos to come out but it was probably because the people who ordered in front of us placed an order of 20 tacos so I'm sure they're usually faster. There's about 6 tables inside and it tends to fill up fast so if you manage to snag a table like we did consider yourself lucky. Their menu is expansive and I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors of sushi tacos. read more

After seeing so many TikTok's about crunchy sushi tacos, I only found two locations that offer this - Anaheim and Koreatown. Kingbop located in Koreatown and closer to us. So happy we came, the tacos were delicious, big, in addition to protein you order, crab is added as well - definitely worth the price! We also ordered a six piece of chicken wings, they were great! Saw other items on the menu that caught our eye, we will definitely be back! Great customer service, welcoming, and very helpful explaining menu items. Restaurant is small and very clean, located in a small shopping center with good parking. read more

The food was priced very reasonably and quite yummy. We got the pork Kim bop and the bulgogi kimchi fries. The fries were absolutely fantastic, and very filling. It could be eaten on its own instead of as a side. The AI generated menu made it hard to tell what our food would be like, but it ended up coming out fairly accurate to the photos. The ambience on the other hand was not good to say the least. The music they were playing was AI generated Christmas music. All the art on the wall was also AI generated. The walls are painted a pale yellow. All this in combination made us have to go eat in my car. read more

Saw this place on instagram yesterday and had to check it out. Glad I did. The sushi tacos are very good. What a great idea. My only complaint is you have to buy 3 and I could only finish 2.

I came to update my review because I finally tried it. So they definitely do not take phone orders and I repeat they changed the store hours because before on Fridays and Saturdays they closed at 11pm now it is 10pm. It's in a small area and we got there at like 9:49 so we were lucky to still be able to order and it wasn't sold out . I had asked over the phone to too make sure. We came for the sushi tacos so we ordered on the kiosk. Really simple. Most of the sushi tacos are $10 or is $10 .. we tried spicy tuna , eel and shrimp . The crunch on the seaweed is soo fire . All tacos was well stuff. I only ate two . Spicy tuna is sooo yummyyyy . I wanna try to calamari one next time. Shrimp one also super tasty , inside the seats are Limited but pretty chill .... read more
