I enjoyed it. We ordered too much and admittedly we were wasteful with the rice. For myself, I ordered the Seotteok and King Yubu. I would definitely order both again. My boyfriend ate the other four. He said that the bulgogi was his favorite. His second favorite was the mentaiko and crab. The salmon and cream cheese and tuna mayo were okay. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The order kiosk took a little getting used to, but I might be just a little bit old school. read more

Before making our long drive back home, my fiancé and I decided to try out KingYubu for a quick meal! We found parking very easily on the streets because it was a weekday evening. I'm sure it's a bit more difficult on the weekend. Upon walking in, I quickly noticed the pastel yellow walls and posters hung around. Their posters advertised their food and explained the cultural significance. I also saw a new Korean rice wine ad which absolutely sold us! They have two kiosks you can order from in the front and back. We walked towards the back and started scrolling on their touch screen menu. Physical menus are also available right next to it. We ordered a mango canmak (rice wine) and a peach canmak. We also order four yubu chobops: citrus salmon, tuna mayo, torched salmon, and a mixture of salmon and tuna. We sat down and waited for our meal, listening to old KPOP music playing. Our food came out nice and warm alongside our canmak. The mango canmak is definitely a go to! My favorite yubu was the citrus salmon - it was very creamy and fresh. The tofu exterior was very sweet and complimented the rice. The nice thing is that they top off your yubu with a lot of toppings and sauce! There was a young lady who served your food and checked up on us. She had this wonderful kindness towards her. Shout out to her! It was my first time here and definitely won't be my last. I'm a big fan of the flavor profile and sizing of their food. Until next time! read more

You order through a kiosk, and the owner is welcoming. The yubu is very good. I especially liked the mentaiko crabmeat, followed by the spicy salmon and spicy mala beef belly. We also tried the mala tteokbokki, which you can adjust for spiciness, but it leans heavily on Sichuan peppercorns and can be overpowering in every bite. The mango matcha tasted mostly like milk, with very little matcha or mango flavor. Overall, food is decent but the biggest downside is the price. It feels expensive for the portion sizes. read more

First week of opening and Kingyubu is off to a strong start. Their ordering process is easy, the yubu choices are top notch and the ones we got were all tasty. I especially love the rice and how they season it. We got a free miso and lemonade because of it being the first week. The space is small but mighty and you can easily order for dine in or to go. I can see older folks having a hard time doing digital orders or not being served so this place is definitely geared towards the foodies, younger crowd or those more tech savvy. If you're passing by stop in and place a quick order. You don't have to come for a full menu or dining experience, you could literally order and take a "snack" item for the road while you do your farmer's market shop or various Honolulu events. So excited to have this new place as an option in Montrose. We'll be back! read more

It's FAWQING delicious. Now I don't have to go to ktown for tteokbokki and it's walking distance. The tteokbokki is way bigger than it looks and is definitely meant to be shared. Got the regular spice and it doesn't immediately overwhelm you if you have decent spice tolerance. Spicy Salmon Yubu hit the spot real nice too. Will go here often read more

Just checked out Kingyubu in Montrose and came away impressed. I tried the Grilled Bulgogi Yubu, Salmon Avocado Hand Roll, and Unagi Avocado Cupbop. Definitely more food than one person needs, but I wanted to sample a few different items so I could give a fair review. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. As a bonus, they're currently offering a free lemonade with purchases of $30 or more this week. The lemonade was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Also service was great and the owner was friendly. Great addition to the Montrose area. Ambiance is nice and modern looking. read more

Kingyubu - My order - Korean Near Me - Montrose, California

Kingyubu was actually kind of good. The yubu selections were alright, pretty pricey but I guess it makes sense given its massive size. The tteoboki was actually really good and probably stole it for me. I think it's still a great spot for the local town and worth a visit if you like korean food read more

Nice little shop in Montrose. Went there to taste what they had to offer. I think this is more of a snack shop than a an actually restaurant. Expect to spend over $20 per person to be full. That's the thing... it's quite pricey for what you get. I mean this is the opposite of a good value. As a snack shop, the food is ok. Nothing to write home about. You can make most of this stuff at home so frankly I have little incentive to visit again. Service is none since you order from the kiosk. Probably a nice hangout place if you like Korean snacks. read more

I checked out this new spot with my date in the weekend, but I have to say, it was a bit of a letdown. It's not really a proper restaurant, and it's pretty pricey too. You have to order your food from a kiosk like at McDonald's and then pick it up yourself (sometimes McDonald even deliver to you with a smile). The food was just ok, typical Korean fusion cuisine, but the flavors were either too salty or too sweet. Honestly, there are much better restaurants nearby. If you're in the mood for fast food, this place might not be worth it. If it hadn't been renovated, I probably wouldn't have even gone in. read more

Very good and generous portions. The woman who owns this place is incredibly attentive and sweet. You can tell she really cares about customer experience. Highly recommend the house sauce. Great place for a quick bite to eat! read more

Hidden Gem in Montrose, CA! You are first greeted with a warm welcome by the staff as you walk in. The ambiance of this place is cute and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The walls have picture frames that describe what yubu is and have the cute kingyubu logo. The staff is ready to help whenever they can. If you have questions on how to order on the kiosks or ask what are the best sellers, they are always ready to help! Ordering is done at the self-service kiosks where there are pictures and descriptions to help you choose which toppings you want. But let me tell you... it will certainly be a challenge because every flavor looks delicious. I ordered my favs... lemon salmon (BOMBBB!!!!), bulgogi (korean staple), tuna mayo, and spicy pork belly, and salmon with teriyaki. Please refer to the pictures I have posted. Portions are filling and bursts with flavor! I also ordered the beef belly topokki. Let me tell you.... perfect amount of sweetness and spiciness. They have other flavors of topokki, such as original, rosé, and mala. You need to try!! I highly recommend. The portions for this dish is good too. Please try the lemonade. They have three different flavors: strawberry, mango, and peach. I chose peach and it was delicious. I will be back to try the other flavors! Thank you, Kingyubu! read more

I was super excited to try these because of the YouTube vloggers. Lemme just say the price already was a turn off for $6.97 each. But I was hoping the flavor would make up for it. Nope! Each one was moist and soggy and really sweet? I thought the fried tofu wraps were supposed to be crispy? It's packed with mostly super sweet seasoned rice and the toppings were just that, to top the very top only. I dunno why each one tastes the same, SWEET and all were very moist. It was an experience we had to try because all the hype. We've been bamboozled read more

This is a new restaurant in Montrose that replaces Valeu Espetos, but it's the same owner. I went there at around noon and the place was empty. You have to use the kiosk to place an order, which I don't like, and the young lady who "helped" me wasn't very friendly. I got the grilled beef belly, the mentaiko crabmeat and the unagi avocado. The only one I liked was the latter. The beef belly was tough and the crabmeat was lacking in the mentaiko. It was not a good experience and I have no intention to return. read more

Yubu is delicious. We have eaten here twice since it opened. I highly recommend it. The bulgogi is phenomenal. The lemon salmon is delicious too! So great to have a new place in the neighborhood. read more

Were able to try all different kinds today as they had a buy five get one free deal. Everything was delicious down to the sauces and the in house prepared lemonade.

We only scratched the surface of all they had we can't wait to try more. read more

This was my family's first time visiting Kingyubu, and enjoyed it. However, for a hungry family of five there were some notes. First off, this seems less of a lunch location and more like a place for a "snack", as the portions are small. The food itself was delicious, but wasn't worth the price. The atmosphere was nice, and cozy. I shared the sweet and spicy skewer with my sister, but was too spicy in our opinions- we were shocked because on the menu it only had one chili symbol! (spice level measured by chilis on menu) My dad ordered something with one chili symbol as well and claimed it was "pretty spicy". People order by kiosk, so nothing special for service. Overall, this is a good place, but not the most ideal for us. read more

Good to see something different in Montrose. I had the spicy tuna hand roll. It was really, really, good. Also had the egg yubu. It was very different than anything I've had. I liked it. I look forward to trying many more of their options. read more

This place is honestly really good. The bulgogi grilled yubu I tried was good, but I can get better for cheaper. The service was nice. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. The ambience was really great because everywhere was very cute and themed. I think everything was great or even amazing-- except the price. I'm sorry, but 7 dollars for one yubu? That's just crazy and 10 dollars for a hand roll? Absolutely outrageous. Overall this place is great, but you need to fix these prices. read more

I found out about this place after seeing it randomly on IG. We came here to try yubu for the first time: kingyubu, philly cream salmon yubu, and tuna mayo yubu. We also ordered original topokki, corn cheese, grilled bulgogi cupbop, and organic matcha latte. You order through a kiosk. All food are flavorful. Me and my family like everything that we ordered, no complaints. Our most favorite are corn cheese and topokki. We had an option to make topokki "less spicy" but it still tasted like regular spicy but it was still sooo good. The only negative I experienced is about the older female staff. No smile or greeting when we arrived but she was extra cheerful and conversant to other customers even when they were leaving. As we were about to leave, she still didn't say anything not until I was the one initiated it by saying thank you. She responded with a low energy, flat expression thank you. The place is clean, there is a hand sanitizer near the kiosk. There is a station for utensils, condiments, plenty of napkins, and water station. read more

Great food & service! Always delicious & so many options to choose from. We've gone here 4 times since they've opened

Delicious! Only complaint is they have a 5+1 deal (it's all the way at the bottom of the kiosk) and I didn't see it until I went to order again and because of that we couldn't get it. They were unwilling to accommodate for it at the front. read more
