Any time I'm in the area working, I always come here for lunch. The bento boxes are adorable and delicious. I hear from others that their beef bowls are also delicious so I cannot wait to try that next. The place is clean, cute, and if you're worried about parking the area that they're in has a parking lot structure. read more

Got the chicken bento box--super solid. The chicken was flavorful with a nice kick, rice was fluffy, and the sides (kimchi, anchovies, mushrooms) were all on point. Simple, clean, and satisfying. Great spot for a quick Korean meal. read more

Korean Kimbap Express - Chicken bento - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Everything was neatly organized and within easy reach. It's a little hard to find since it's tucked inside the Bloc itself which has more shopping stores. Two kimbap came out to roughly $20 which is a little pricey but definitely worth it. The kimbap were packaged well enough that it was easy to bring it into the movie theater in the same plaza. read more

They have expanded kimbap choices, snacks & drinks collections too. There are all kings of Korean ramyun and chips. The kimbaps and rice bowls are $14 each. $17 gets you one of those plus 1 snack & drink. read more

The fact that this place is so small and yet so well stocked and functional just testifies to how well it is run. The shop is located rather nondescriptly and can be missed if not for a sign in the front. I was craving some Korean food and stopped by near the end of the day. The interior has well labeled rolls and other items. While his stock was lower, the owner was so so nice and offered to give me a good deal on multiple rolls. It was a substantial amount of food. I absolutely loved the crab kimbap! The filling, rice and wrapping all tasted to good together ad tasted fresh! I started feeling full when I was about half done with the roll and had so much food left, definitely good value for the cost. I am so glad that I noticed this place and stopped by! read more

Date of visit: December 30, 2024 Selections: Buy 1 Get 1 Free of: - Vegetable Kimbap - Fish Cake Kimbap Experience: I was totally craving Kimbap while watching Squid Games Season 2 cause they were served them during one of the scenes lolz So I quickly searched for someplace that served Kimbap on DoorDash and stumbled upon this place. I was excited since they had a buy 1 get 1 free deal going on, so I decided to give their vegetable Kimbap and fish cake Kimbap a try. It took about 30 minutes for the food to be delivered and boy did they deliver cause these rolls were heavy. I was surprised that I liked the vegetable Kimbap more since it had more flavor to it than the fish cake Kimbap, but both were good regardless. I barely finished a third of each type, so I have plenty leftover for me and my husband to munch on for the next few days lolz read more

There's a new owner, Justin. He's pretty nice and treats his customers with care. New selection of food besides just kimbap like the $14 kimchi rice bowl and $14 bulgogi bowl. My favorites are the kimchi rice bowl and the fish cake kimbap. Definitely worth a try, and especially really nice when in a rush to somewhere/something read more

Got lost downtown and needed something quick to eat, and Kimbap Express saved my life. I got the beef kimbap and it did not disappoint. It has a great ratio of rice to filling. The owner also seemed very nice and was patient with me when I asked about some ingredients my brother is allergic to. The store was clean, as well. It was all the convenience of H-Mart exactly when I needed it, and it's hard to beat the low price. I'll be back for the BOGO deal next time~ read more

I picked up food from them through TooGoodToEat app and it was supposed to be $15 worth of food for $5. I like the app since you help reduce food waste and get to try out new restaurants at discount pricing. Thank goodness I didn't buy it at regular price because they gave me the beef rice bowl, which had the TINIEST bit of beef in it, & it was super bland and didn't seem fresh. I didn't think the food was worth the discounted $5 I paid, let alone full price. Unfortunately I won't be going back :( read more

Love the concept of a grab and go spot focused on kimbap and rice bowls. Got the chicken rice bowl and was pleasantly surprised at how filling it was. As someone stuck in DTLA for lunch hours, I really appreciate how convenient it is to grab a quick and satisfying lunch. I saw some reviews that the rice bowls were mediocre but tbh this was good enough for me and it was only $12, that's a steal. read more

This spot is like a small Korean 7/11 convenience shop, specializing in kimbap, hot bowls, and snacks. They don't offer seating, but you can definitely head downstairs and enjoy at the tables in the courtyard. I had the veggie kimbap and loved it. The radish and veggies were pickled well, rice is soft and brushed with sesame oil, filling to rice ratio is good too! It also came with a side sauce that was similar to a sweet & spicy gochujang mayo. For around $12 for 20 pieces it was a deal especially in DTLA. I always appreciate good variety and who doesn't love supporting small, local businesses! read more

If you're looking to try Kimbop for the first time and enjoy it, Skip this place. By far the worst Kimbop I have had to date. Trader Joe's Frozen Kimbop id far superior. I Got two items, regular Kimbop and the Crab Kimbop. The crab was flavorless and rice had the texture of old rice. The regular Kimbop was no better, so small and not at all what other Kimbop places offer. Same problem with the rice. If you're ever downtown avoid this place. read more

I tried their fish cake kimbap and it was so good. All the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. It is also priced right. I work in DTLA and can never find good lunch under $15 until I found this place! Def will be back to try their other flavors and the bowls. read more

Tucked away inside The Bloc we have Korean Kimbap Express, a satisfying grab and go concept. I got a package of beef Kimbap for $12. You definitely get your moneys worth. You will easily have food leftover for lunch or can eat it for dinner later. The Kimbap itself is very flavorful. Be sure to buy the creamy gochujang sauce on the side for $1. It really adds an extra level of flavor to the Kimbap. The owner is super friendly, nice and welcoming. There are plenty of places to sit at The Bloc to enjoy this lunch! read more

I eat a lot of kimbap (김밥). It's one of my favorite foods and it's a relatively healthy snack so I have it 1x a week or more. The kimbap is an average one, and it tastes very Americanized to me. There aren't enough veggies, almost none, and they use way too much sugar to marinate the fish cake. I don't like wasting food, but I can't eat this with how sweet it is, so I'm going to try and pawn the rest off on a friend who may like the sweeter flavor profile. Bummed read more

I love Kimbap! Lately, I don't want to eat a regular meal or restaurant food after work. It's nice to know a place that I can just walk to and buy food without thinking what to eat. The owner (or staff) was very friendly. The veggie and fish cake Kimbap were both good. The only complaint for me is that this place opens late (11am) and close early (5pm) for my schedule. It's almost impossible to buy the Kimbap before or after work :-( But if you work in Downtown, you should try this place. read more

Loved having this place for a quick delish bite at the bloc! Cute concept and the owner was so nice! Can't wait to try their bowls next time! The kimbap was yummy! read more

You should not be serving day-old (or even older) kimbap. I know it is hard to throw away inventory but you're not going to have returning customers. read more

I've only tried the pork bowl and it was amazing! Very tender and flavorful, with some kimchi over rice. I normally don't order pork but this was exceptional. I haven't tried the kimbap yet, but I wish they'd do a low-carb cauliflower rice version. Check this place out! read more

I tried the beef kimbap and it was delicious! Every ingredient was fresh and the kimbap was well-prepared. You also get a really good amount for the price!

Paid a couple dollars to park and stop by this place last Friday at about 4:20 pm, only to find that it was closed with a "will return" sign set to 1:35. I can understand if the person went to the restroom, bc we're all human, but if u don't respect your own business hours then I don't know why you're in business. read more

I can only speak for the tofu bowl, but that was easily one of the best bowls i've had, especially when considering how quick and healthy it is. Every part of the bowl was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, which is honestly very rare in the world of convenient meals. I honestly can't wait to go back and try their other options. read more

I wanted to spread the joy, so I Slack'ed my other co-workers to let them know about Kimbap Express! read more
