I saw this place on social media and was so excited by the concept of sushi tacos that i had to try it. I was finally able to achieve that dream today. At first i was shocked by the prices, esp since I wasn't sure if 3 tacos was going to fill me up. My husband got the kimchi bulgogi fries and i got spicy salmon, yuzu salmon, and pork belly tacos. The tacos were big - i ended up struggling to finish the 3rd, but im not a quitter. The yuzu salmon didn't taste like yuzu sadly. The fish was fresh and they dont skimp. But the star was the pork belly. Holy COW it was good!!! It comes with spicy mayo and like a green sauce...i couldve eaten 2 of those and been 100% satisfied, and next time i will! Everyone was very nice and helpful. It's a small place but thankfully wasnt too busy when we arrived. A decent amount of parking for a small lot. My husband wasnt sure about the fries but once he finished about 80% of them he decided he really liked them! So i guess i had high expectations, but they ended up being met in a different way. Would come back!
This was my first time here, and overall the experience was a little disappointing. First, I really wish they had told us that the nachos also came with jalapeños. We specifically explained to the person taking our order that we did not want the nachos to be spicy. He told us the only spicy part was the spicy tuna, so we trusted his recommendation. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case because the jalapeños made it much spicier than what we were asking for. I honestly think there may have been a language barrier or some kind of miscommunication between us and the person taking our order. We were trying to be very clear that we didn't want anything too spicy, but what we were told and what we actually received were two different things. I probably should have asked more questions, but at the same time, he knew exactly what we were concerned about when we ordered. The pork belly taco was also disappointing. It was dry and definitely didn't live up to the hype I was expecting. The salmon and the other taco were better, but overall the recommendations were pretty far off from what we told him we wanted. Would I recommend coming back? Sure, I'd give it another try. This was only my first time there, so I'm willing to give the place another chance. Just be careful when asking about spicy food because what you consider spicy and what the person recommending the food considers spicy might be completely different. Be very specific about what ingredients are actually in the food, especially if you don't want anything spicy.
Mabel was so nice when I walked in great customer service! Food was packaged really well for to-go, so nothing tipped over on the way home. Just a heads up, sauces are $1 extra if you want more. Lots of parking available, and the store itself was clean with nice tables inside if you want to eat in. The food itself was so good will definitely be back!

Kingbop was all over my feed, so I had to go see what the hype was about! I tried three tacos: pork belly, spicy tuna, and salmon. Ugh, I would definitely skip the pork belly. The spicy tuna was easily my favorite! The salmon was okay, but I wish it had been mixed with some type of sauce and maybe some onions because it was pretty plain. I did get sauces on the side, but they charge extra for them. Honestly, they should at least include one sauce with the tacos. I ordered online for pickup, and it was ready pretty quickly, which was a plus. Just a heads-up, parking was definitely a struggle! Overall, I'd come back for the spicy tuna taco
This place has a interesting fusion vibe. The sushi tacos were delicious. There is minimal rice with plenty of toppings. The portion is hug The fried chicken was salty though so I would avoid honey soy garlic. The rose topokki is spicy and large. I would come back for sushi tacos
We ordered a few Crunchy Sushi Tacos and a 10-Piece Fried Chicken (Honey Butter and Sweet&Spicy). The fried chicken was good but the honey butter powder was overpowering and super messy. The crunchy sushi tacos were delicious and matched the viral hype. For best results, need to double bite---some rice from bottom, then sushi from top. To be honest, the rice and crunchy shell were the best part... the fish was an ok addition. The place is tucked into the back corner of a sketchy strip mall. Like most of LA, the parking lot was a little tight and had some questionable character. Service was friendly and fast. They did not have a bathroom or place to wash hands. The dining area was small but could fit a couple small groups.
Being closer to Ktown has let me trying multiple spots for Kimbap it offered. Kingbop's located in a plaza with other retailers and the spot easily stole the crowd's attention with rich selections of menu and great value for price. Before looking at the actual dishes, I for a sec thought it's kinda pricey compared to other kimbap places around but once I saw the foods serving size, it made total sense. We dined on the spot and needed to wait a bit to get seats as they're full-house and there weren't plenty of seats. Humble setting yet serving the purpose. We got their honey soy garlic fried chicken and k-pepper tuna kimbap. The boneless chicken were perfectly crispy and we love the flavorful seasoning! It's a lot that we brought home the rest and could make us another meal. The kimbap was fully stuffed with luscious tuna. It's tad spicy yet we really enjoyed it. Tasted super fresh!
This place has been viral so I decided to drive out and try it! The sushi tacos are about $10 and some change and they have a great variety to choose from!I went close to opening so no rush or lines. The beef belly and unagi tacos were delicious the flavors and ingredients were so good! Definitely worth a visit at least once! I will be back! Even my daughter enjoyed it! **Downside** The place and parking lot is small and some spots are a tight squeeze. The area is not great so be mindful! There a some tables to sit and eat and the staff was welcoming and friendly! Can be pricey I paid $32 dollars for three tacos however portion size is huge and fair for price point. Grilled pork belly and as the worst one out the three I tried so dry, bland, and lots of fat pieces avoid that one!
April 22, 2026 | Los Angeles | The moment I heard about the Viral Crunchy Sushi Tacos, I knew I had to add KingBop to my wish list! 3 Crunchy Sushi Tacos | Shared | At first sight and bite, the Salmon & Spicy Tuna Sushi Tacos easily looked yummy, piled high with toppings & dripping with sauce! I enjoyed the salmon taco! My favorite was the Spicy Tuna Crunchy Taco, which was absolutely delicious and I loved hearing that crunch! Haha! It's definitely a messy taco, but worth it, so keep napkins near! Honey Butter Seasoning Fries | I absolutely love honey butter chips, so I knew the fries would be a hit and they were incredibly delicious! I craved one bite after another! I highly recommend! Fried Seaweed Rolls | I honestly thought I would love this, but they were not a hit for me! I only had one bite! Cute wrapping paper underneath though! Haha! Sighting | While my friend and I were catching up, I heard someone's funny ringtone quite often... So I thought, it actually ended up being a real life parrot! Haha! The woman was super friendly, we spoke briefly as she was walking out of the restaurant and she let me take a cute photo of the parrot! Inside | It's bright and colorful! You order at the kiosk! There was a special for three tacos for three dollars off! This place gets super busy! There were a lot of orders to go as well! Luckily, we found a table right away! A woman picking up an order for her daughter asked how were the tacos and I raved about the salmon taco!! Note | As KingBop is definitely a super busy place, I would recommend wiping down the glass door every now and then and the baseboards! Overall | I enjoyed the crunchy tacos! If in the area, I would easily return and try another taco, excited to hear that crunch!
I was in DTLA looking for a solid lunch spot and had a couple of places saved on Yelp. Ok, I admit I have tons of saved places on my "to try" yelp lists. First stop I tried (Holbox)...which had a line around the corner, and the second spot I wanted to try was Chuy's Tacos and it's closed on Sundays. I ended up at KingBop about 15 minutes away...and honestly, that worked out pretty darn well to quench my "Taco" craving. It's tucked into a dumpy little strip mall, so don't come expecting much atmosphere. This is more of a fast-casual, self-service kind of spot where you can order on the tablet or at the counter, then wait for your food. The seating area is small, and I had to wait for a table to open up. Parking was also a bit of a battle on a busy weekend around 1 p.m., but that's LA being LA. The sushi TACO's, though? Really really good. I tried the pork taco (good) and the ahi tuna taco (my fav). The shells are crispy seaweed with a tempura-style crunch, so they actually hold together and give you that great taco bite. The flavors were fresh, the sauces were on point, and the whole thing worked way better than I expected. Thx Yelp for another satisfying Taco treat. They have a deal where you get $3 off if you order three tacos, but I only grabbed two. They're a little on the pricey side, but they were filling enough and worth it. Two tacos hit the spot without putting me into a food coma, which is always appreciated. The food took a little while to come out, but it tasted fresh and made-to-order. Overall, I really enjoyed it. KingBop takes sushi, flips it upside down, stuffs it into a crispy taco seaweed shell, and somehow makes perfect sense. As a crispy taco fan, I was fully on board. Five stars from me. Not fancy, not atmospheric, but fun, creative, fresh, and delicious.
Wait I was surprised at this place and how good it was the sushi tacos was amazing my favorite is the spicy tuna,salmon & shrimp taco it's full of flavor and super crunchy this place is a must try...
Ugh the hype is real!! This place always has a line I feel like no matter what time, so ordering ahead is probably the best option. We tried a bunch of stuff - Rose Mala Topokki, Crispy Shrimp and Beef Kimbaps and 3 Crunchy Tacos (Salmon, Spicy Tuna and another meat one). My favorite was definitely the topokki but honestly everything was soo good. The servings are big and they really load up the tacos, so it's great value. Overall, so so good!!

So Kingbop's sushi tacos actually exceeded my expectations. Super yummy! The hype is real and worth it. I would seriously recommend giving these a shot. I went for several of the three taco deal and tried them all. My favorites in order were the unagi, with the sweet sauce and spicy crab, the spicy tuna, the salmon, beef, and pork. I ordered online so things were ready when I arrived. I actually recommend doing this because there was quite a line. The location is jammed into a corner of a very small strip mall. There are pretty much no parking spots available. So be prepared for that as well. Definitely worth a trip to try. Totally awesome and unique flavors. Five stars!

Ordered combo #4 via DoorDash so I can't say much about the actual store location and ambiance itself, but I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes when I received my delivery. Each item was also packed well and secure. It's true how everyone says their kimbops are big!! The combo came with kfc, toppokki, and a kimbop. We got soy garlic chicken, spicy pork kimbop, and beef belly toppokki. Everything was so delicious! I'm usually not a toppokki fan but I would definitely order this again. Loved how the kimbop was more filling than rice!! And the flavors were so good. My husbands favorite item was the fried chicken. He finished 6 out of the 8 pieces we ordered.. haha. This review comes a couple months late, so I think the drink we received and sotteok-sotteok (I may be misspelling it) was taken off? They're no longer on DoorDash at least. The drink was a mango lemonade which had the perfect balance of sweetness and tart to balance out the flavors of all the food. And the sotteok was a fried sausage and rice cake skewers which was a yummy little snack. Already looking forward to placing my next order!! read more

I saw this place on TikTok and it looked delicious. The three taco combo ordering the spicy tuna, salmon and shrimp taco. If I wanted poke I would've gotten that over the spicy tuna and the salmon. I also didn't expect the rice to be cold given that its shell is fried. But the Shrimp taco was the best one over all flavor wise. I would come back once in a while I rather get a poke bowl. read more

came here cuz i got seduced by siren call of uber eats marketing. no lie, it kept popping up. and listen... i know who tf i am. a cultured, decently successful Black woman. aka america's #1 consumer i see it enough, i want it. i'm weak. #noshame LOL remember, my people kept target alive til we had to abort. anyways... i'm a product of capitalism. i caved. so here we fk'ing are -shrug- was gonna order from home but... had questions--far too many. so i dragged myself into the real world #ughirl The Waiting Game begins... i love fresh food, i do. but a heads up about the 20+ min wait before i paid would've been coo. cuz had i known Id've dipped and made a sammich. but alas. it was too late. id been hoodwinked. bamboozled. i digress lol the menu was giving ikea furniture (SIMPLE) til you read the manual. (confusing). I got it then didnt... and needed help. could've used the kiosk, but i had questions. waited in line behind a group of USC hipsters who took 17 years to order. were they lost? deep in thought? rewriting their will? who tf knows!! but they were taking forever and i was spiraling. almost left. didn't. regret that a lil. finally got to the front. asked a bunch of totally annoying questions that said "idkwtf im doing here or what I'm tryna order" But the cashier was helpful and at her suggestion, I got the creamy rose soup. then came the MF'ing plot twist: she didn't mention the surprise upcharge. combo #5 = $39.99. but with the creamy rose & ribeye? $54+tax. with tax and tip? $65 for. two. items. TWO. ITEMS. Brrruuuuhhhh but i ordered anyway. cuz i'm Black and didn't wanna un-order it and make it weird for the next Black person who came in there. yes, we have to think like Ambassadors everywhere we go cuz ppl are weird with us. got combo #5: gimbap + upgraded creamy rose tteokbokki w/ ribeye. That price was painful bruh, i aint finna hold u. but i committed for the sake of Black people er'where. then she drops: "it'll be about 20-25 minutes." ma'am. MAAA'AM. you couldn't have led with that? $65 in, 25 min wait. Come TF ON bruh. WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING !?!?? so me and my mom wait in the car. bonding through hunger delirium. an eternity later... food's ready. let's talk food. the Creamy Rose was solid portion, piping hot. Def enough for two four people. asked if i needed rice. she said no. i said cool. turns out... tteokbokki is rice. chewy rice cakes. so yes, i asked if i needed rice with my rice. Bwhahahaha -let's move on. the sauce was THICKER DEN A SNICKER, rich, flavorful, smelled divine glass noodles = light rubber band energy and i didn't hate it. I'm sure there's a better way to describe it, but I don't have the words. mom said the soup was spicy. i disagreed ribeye gimbap /kimbop idk ... but it SLLAAAAAAAPPED. had it before. still hits. but they forgot my dipping sauce. you mean to tell me.... after 25 mins and $65... YOU FORGOT MY MF'ing SAUCE??? could i have checked the bag? sure. did i? no. should i? apparently yes. what could go wrong with two items? answer: sauce. still... cashier girl was solo & held it down. respect. so giving grace. final thoughts from me & my dog (who snuck ate a bowl when i left the room) soup- devoured. gimbap - fire. took off stars for upcharge, wait time, forgotten sauce. added stars for solo cashier hustle, great flavor, clean spot, easy parking. overall? 3.8, rounding to 4 on yelp. would i come back? naw--not cuz the food wasn't great, but cuz i wanna explore more of the world of korean comfort food. It seems vast and tasty. and this place, was too pricey for my first venture into the world. no shade, just facts. read more

The food was great and huge portions. Some of the sauces were spicy which is fine and I loved the spicy tuna taco but not with the immigration crab. I would come back and buy two tacos instead of three because they are huge. Service was great and loved the yellow ambiance. read more

The $27 Kimbap and chicken combo has gotta be one of my new favorite deals in all of Ktown. Not only are you getting the soy garlic chicken of your dreams, but the Kimbap is absolutely stuffed with protein - PLUS the fries and radish. Everything's fresh and delicious, the quality here really is unrivaled. read more

love love LOVED this place! we went cos we wanted the sushi tacos and they did not disappoint at all. they were so big and filling. i also ordered a combo kimbap and those were super good too. staff was friendly and you could order at the kiosk or at the register. food came out pretty fast and the presentation was great. small place, but clean and well lit. parking is in a small lot, but it wasn't too hard to park? went at 2pm on a saturday and there were around 2 vacant spots so it wasn't too hard to park. would def come back again and try other things on the menu cos they got a lot! read more

This was an excellent find. The flavors of the food engaged all of my taste buds with perfection. These will be flavors I crave as the days go on and we will have to return sooner than later. The owners are so kind and humble. We also had some fries with a special homemade sauce that can't be found anywhere else in LA. They were AMAZING! We grabbed a couple of Spam Musubi to go for later. Seriously- check this place out. It's only been open for a few months but I'm hoping this is only the first of many locations to come! Fantastic!! read more

This is definitely a great spot for kimbop with a variety of great options! I had the shrimp tempura and tuna kimbops which were both delicious. The kimchi fried rice was definitely my favorite dish, I loved how they included not only a fried egg on top but scrambled eggs as well. The fried chicken was super crispy too. Our server was very nice and always checked on our table. It was a nice spot! read more

The BEsT Korean soul - comfort food in LA from kimbop, fried chicken to tteokbokki. We got combo #4 with Bulgogi kimbop, boneless chicken with original crispy and honey soy sauce and tteokbokki and loved all of it. Friendly, helpful service. Thank you! We'll be back! read more

I wanted to like this place and had seen all the hype on social media but it didn't really reach my expectations. I ordered 1 salmon taco and a strawberry limeade. The problem is the taco barely had any rice and 85% salmon. Don't get me wrong, the salmon was delicious however it was just too much. I think adding some cucumbers or other veggies could better the taco and more rice!! The strawberry limeade was a mix of mineral water and some syrup but it didn't taste good, it needed sugar or something. As for the service, it was mid. My friend ordered three tacos and we expected that to take a while (even tho mine came out 3 min after ordering) and when "her order" came, it was someone else's LOL. The staff are nice but they need to work better on organizing things!! For the prices, I'd only get one taco cuz they ain't all that. Side note: take your own spicy mayo cuz that measly little thing cost $1 read more

The food was on the pricey side, but the portions and taste definitely 100% made up for it. The service was good also. Staff were nice. The ambiance was chill. I'd say this would be the perfect for friend gatherings. But honestly the food here is sooo good!!! The seaweed tacos were soo amazingly good. The tteokbokki s portion was really big. The food is so good I forgot to take a picture of the rest of the food I got. But honestly, I'd come here, but a little downside is there is no restroom and the parking might be difficult. Good things require hard work though ;P read more

BULDAK ROSE PASTA IS A MUST! It's seriously so addicting. Deep fried kimbap is also so genius. I loved it. Brand new restaurant in the area and I'm glad I stopped by. Owner recommended the Buldak rose pasta and it certainly did not disappoint. My sister and I would both recommend this spot read more

We heard of this new Kingbop bunshik spot opened up, so we had to try. Seven of us ordered, tukboki, deep fried tuna kimbop, original fried boneless chicken, honey butter fried boneless, kimchi fried rice, and rose pasta. All the dishes were yummy! I especially liked the deep fried tuna kimbop, which reminded me of kimmari. A great combo with spicy tukboki! Chicken was crispy on the outside, moist and meaty on the inside. Everyone loved the tukboki and rose pasta. Kimchi fried rice was also visually pleasing and tasty. This place is perfect for a group of friends to share and to try different variety of dishes, as we ended up paying only around $17 per person, including tip! The owners are friendly, and they have free parking. read more

Thank you for sharing your reviews and nice photos…
Food was absolutely amazing, no complaints there. I will say that if you're not ordering ahead, you're going to be waiting quite a bit. I have gone here on two separate occasions. I ordered ahead on the second occasion, but the order still came out 10 minutes after my pickup time. Not sure if this is because I ordered a tempura roll and they have to make it fresh, but I have no concerns about the quality. Interior of the building has a bunch of tables for people and they constantly have k-pop playing, it is usually empty though. I'm rating this a 4/5 because of the slow order time, but if I am able to order way ahead of time then this place is perfect. read more

I came here twice in a row to try different menu items. I absolutely loved their food and customer service was amazing. The employees were attentive and kind and the food was so good! The first day I came I got the cupbop, which despite its size, it's very filling. I also tried some of the kimchi fries and I loved it! The second day I shared a combo of shrimp kimbop & topokki. I personally cannot handle spice, so the topokki was a bit spicy for me but still SO good. My uncle and I ate it all, 10/10!! I will definitely be revisiting to try more of their menu items. The inside is small but there is plenty of seating :). I recommend! read more

The owner here truly has a passion for food. I never imagined kimbop could taste this good! Each roll is packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can feel the effort and care put into every bite. But this place isn't just about kimbop--the other dishes are just as incredible. We tried the kimbops(egg bomb,bulgogi,tunamayo,spicy pork), kimchi fried rice, rose topoki, sausage-and-rice-cake skewers, shrimp tempura hand roll, and the newly launched mayo mala chicken. (Yes, we ordered a lot because we live far away and wanted to take some home--it was just that good!) Everything was absolutely delicious. My husband said the kimchi fried rice was the best he's ever had. The mayo mala chicken, made with a house-developed sauce, was unlike anything I've tasted before. It starts sweet and finishes with a subtle, spicy mala kick that keeps you coming back for more--it's perfectly balanced and not overwhelming at all. If you're in LA and searching for truly amazing kimbop, this is the place to go! read more
