    Rainbow don includes miso AMAZING
    Nova N.

    Wow exceeded my expectations A Must go! I've been to so many Asian bowl places! This is my fave! Got the rainbow don (included piping hot miso) Lots of warm rice with furikake-like seasonings It doesn't even need spicy mayo and all those other things poke places have

    Great little restaurant for a quick bite of sashimi and sushi. The proprietor was super friendly and accommodating. The venue is clean and airy. We tried a number of items and everything was great. The shrimp and pork katsu were both nice and crunchy. The seafood was all super fresh. The quality of the food is on par with premium Japanese restaurants but at a much more affordable prices. I'd definitely be back for more.

    Shistachi bowl excellent

    Yes it's great and lot of fresh sashimi. I try 2 shirachi bowls both were huge I ll be back

    Karage appetizer, dragon bowl with eel and two shrimp tempura with miso soup
    constance k.

    Quality of food and service are excellent. We have ordered chirashi in the past, which we also enjoyed and tonight my son asked for the karage appetizer (though he likes it with his siracha spicy mayo..) and the eel tempura bowl.. portions are generous and always a hit!

    Tuna tataki bowl
    Stephanie C.

    Bop kitchen was awesome! My tuna tataki bowl was fresh and delicious, as was the salmon skin salad. The service was so nice and friendly too! Would definitely stop by again for a healthy and delicious meal!

    Kimchi Fried Rice

    Stumbled upon The Bop while washing my rugs across the street at a laundry mat. Asian food is one of my favorite genres of food, so I set to give The Bop a try. What stood out to me was that this place is a fusion of Japanese and Korean! The menu offered a variety of choices. I ordered the kimchi fried rice. Boy, I was in for a treat!!! The kimchi was spicy just at the right level! The amount of kimchi in the fried rice was perfect. The seasonings, green onions, and seaweed is also on par with the total eating experience of the kimchi fried rice. The store is mainly a small "order to go" brick and mortar. There are only two tables, so don't expect to have a dine in experience like a regular restaurant. Make sure you order your food to eat elsewhere. I appreciate the person I ordered from explaining to me about the place not being a regular sit in place to eat. So take note if you come to The Bop to get food. The Bop is a pleasant surprise for sure!!!! I am definitely going to go back to try some other items they have to offer!!!

    Good food and very friendly staff. The bowl I ordered was good but I wouldn't say it's anything special. Raw fish with rice and good sauce. The worker was very nice and gave us thorough explanations of each dish, with suggestions on how to eat them.

    One of my favorite spots to go around this area. Since I work close I stop by couple of times per week. Fish is always fresh and prices are good! Portions always are good size My favorites rainbow poke , chips with spicy tuna and tuna crispy rice

    Drove by and found this tiny little spot serving up some amazing food. The menu offers so many options. I ordered the bulgogi bowl and it did not disappoint. Definitely recommend this place

    Kiki K.

    So glad we found this place! My boyfriend and I were in the Melrose place looking for something to eat and we came across the Bop. We ordered for pickup and got the salmon ikura don and bara chirashi don. Both bowls were way bigger than we expected! The fish was super fresh and had a generous amount. The prices were fair for the amount you get as well! The bowls were pretty big so I could only finish half and saved the rest. Great place for some delicious sushi!

    Dragon don and premium chirashi don
    Christiana K.

    This place is SO so good!! As a lover of sushi and chirashi, I can say this is some of the best I have ever had. The pieces are super duper thick and the quality is amazing. This is a great spot for takeaway if you're craving some quality sashimi and their other options. You definitely don't want to go somewhere with low quality seafood and risk getting sick. Also in a great location. Staff is very friendly. Will definitely come back for more!

    Bara chirashi
    Lucia L.

    SOY happy that I discovered @the_bop_on_3rd It's rare that I find a sushi place that I'm impressed with, and I loved how The Bop has some of the freshest sashimi in town while at incredibly affordable prices (especially for LA!) They definitely didn't skimp on the quality, quantity and authenticity of their bowls, and I would highly recommend checking out both their cooked Korean/Japanese sushi bowls. Featured here: Bara Chirashi ($24.90): absolutely loaded with salmon, tuna, albacore, ikura, shrimp and tamago! Highly recommend if you're looking for a fresh sashimi bowl without the sauces typically found in poke. Beef bulgogi bowl($19.50 buy one get one free on UberEats): really impressed with how well packaged it came, and how they have a generous portion of beef. I thought the beef could be a bit more tender/have a stronger flavor, but it's definitely authentic! Also comes with complimentary miso soup and salad

    The Bop is a small shop located near Melrose street. They specialize in Japanese and Korean rice bowls. The shop is bright with an orange and white color palette. There's no restroom and parking is a bit hard to find. There's a few areas to sit in front. The staff was super helpful which was nice. Overall, ambiance was fine and the service was nice. Food We ordered the chirashi bowl and the spicy pork belly bowl. All bowls are $16-$22. They also came with a salad and miso soup. The bowls were pretty large portions and the pieces of fish were big in the chirashi bowl. The spicy pork belly bowl had the meat and rice split up which was nice. The food was pretty good but there was a lot of rice. Overall, the food is worth the price. Overall The ambiance: 4.5/5 The food: 4.5/5 The price: $$

    Although the food was good, the overall experience was frustrating…read more Parking is limited to metered street parking, and in this neighborhood finding a spot is hit or miss. I ended up parking a few blocks away. Once inside, the only way to order was through a kiosk -- so much for asking questions. I also realized that you're actually ordering from two different restaurants on the same system. I entered my order for the grilled cheese sandwich, but when I backed out to the main menu to add the wings, the order was canceled and I had to start over. When I tried to order the wings again, the kiosk kept giving me an error and wouldn't process it and at the end of the transactions, I was asked, how much do I want to tip? There are only a handful of seats inside and a bench out front. The tables were filthy. I had the bulgogi grilled cheese sandwich and my partner ordered the Korean BBQ chicken wings. We both agreed the food was good, but it felt pricey for what we got. Driving home, my thought was simple: good food, but not an experience that makes me want to come back.

    A very small restaurant along 3rd ave in the Beverly Grove area. Only metered-street parking…read moreavailable. The outside of the restaurant is nicely decorated, so it's easy to spot. The music they were playing was too loud to enjoy a meal there, so I got it to-go. You can order online, at the kiosk tablet or talk with a staff member to place your order. Right off the bat, I noticed that they do not list the price of the menu items on the menu. I ordered 2 tacos (Galbi and the Bulgogi) and OMGEE, my eyes were shocked to see the bill of $37.13. Anyway, since it's my 1st time here, I thought, "ok, let's just try it and see if the quality and/or portion justifies the price. 1. Galbi Tacos (3.5/5): Galbi is basically marinated short ribs that's diced up. The flavor of the meat itself was good - tender, flavorful and slightly charred. It is topped heavily with a bed of Cole slaw, onion, cilantro and some creamy, tangy mayo-like sauce. I think the amount of toppings outweigh the meat portions, so it's not well-balanced at all. 2. Bulgogi Tacos (3.5/5) Rating the bulgogi meat itself, I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars, as the thinly sliced rib eye was marinated well in the bulgogi seasoning, which is umami-rich, garlicky and nutty from the sesame oil & sesame seeds. Like the other taco, the ratio of meat to toppings (slaw, onion, cilantro) is off. Of note, the corn tortilla for the tacos were very dry and easily tore apart, so it made eating the tacos super messy and quite a pain since they do not give you any utensils. I ended up ditching the taco shells and just eating the insides. Lastly, the limes they gave me with my tacos were completely dried, rendering them useless to dress my tacos (smirk). Even though each taco order comes with 2 tacos, $18/order for street-taco truck quality tacos and where the amount of Cole slaw outweighs the amount of meat ... this is just a bit too much. Sorry to say, but I will not be coming back. There's too many other restaurants in the area competing for my business.

    Just 5 minutes from The Grove, this spot on Beverly Blvd is amazing for their insane lunch deals…read moreand traditional dim sum. All their weekday lunch specials come with hot & sour soup and an egg roll. I had to get their signature spicy orange chicken which is tangy and perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's seriously such a great deal with the amount they give you. Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each. But the real sleeper on the menu are the sweet & spicy corn ribs. Love the nod to the Asian taste profile, and it's sooo satisfying to eat! Thanks for reading! ^-^

I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.

I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with a side of rice and scallion pancakes. The popcorn chicken was very reasonably priced for the portion size and came with plenty of pieces. The scallion pancakes were priced a bit higher than I expected, but ultimately worth it. The chicken was extra crispy and well seasoned. It didn't have the familiar five-spice or cinnamon note I usually associate with Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but it was still very good in its own right. It also came with a side of sweet chili sauce, which paired well. The scallion pancakes were also a standout.

Oh did I mention that chicken was left on their counter just sitting there entire we were there waiting for food and when we left. Not once did the cook touch it or move it so god knows how long thy meat has been sitting there. The xai long bao was okay in taste. I've like Trader Joe's better. And I've yet to find a place comparable to DTF. I ordered some The white fish dumpling was good, but it was missing something. Still DTF is better. For the price as well. The wonton noodle soup, was okay. Noodle was bland. The wonton tasted the same as the xao long bao. The broth was so-so. The BBQ Pork Belly Buns. Those buns were hard and one bite into the thing, I spit it out. My kid did the same thing. How in the world do you mess up BBQ Pork?!
