    Such a cute hidden kimbap gem for the area it's in. This was my first time trying kimbap and I got the spicy mayo one sooo good. I honestly loved it. They also have Korean coffee which was a nice surprise and I liked that you can choose from different viral Korean milks. I got the banana milk and it was sooo good. Overall the food is really good and the staff is nice. I just wish it was in a better location. It's next to a dispensary and every time someone opens the door you get a whiff from inside which is kind of a turnoff while you're waiting on food. That said the food itself is great and I'd still totally recommend checking it out.

    Love this cute little food truck! It's parked in a little lot, so there aren't many parking spaces. But there was no one there when I went. The food truck is attached to a fenced area (where I'm assuming the kitchen is). I got the spicy pork kimbap, which looked beautifully rolled (albeit it took a bit longer than I anticipated given no other customers). The kimbap itself was yummy, but I couldn't really tell that there was spicy pork inside. The kimbap comes with choice of one sauce, but I didn't try it because I didn't want the sauce to mask the actual flavors of the kimbap. I think I'll be back in the future to try another roll, as well as the tteokbokki.

    SA's newest hidden gem!! I saw K Bop Cha pop up on Tiktok this weekend. When I saw that they sold kimbap made fresh to order, I knew I had to pay a visit soon! K Bop Cha is a charming, little food truck nestled in the heart of downtown in parking lot of a dispensary. I got there around 1ish today and was happy to see that there was no line. I parked in the parking lot of the dispensary, however, there is also nearby street parking. When I got up to order, the nice lady let me know that orders are taking ~40-45 min due to all the customers that saw the recent Tiktoks. The long wait didn't deter me though and I'm so glad I stayed. I ordered 3 kimbap -- a fried tofu for my vegetarian friend; 2 for my big back self. I got the tuna mayo and spicy pork. I also ordered their shik-hae (rice punch), which reminded me of a Korean version of horchata. We loved it all!! I've had kimbap from Korean stores here in SA and from hmart and Korean stores in Houston -- admittedly, K Bop Cha's kimbap was the best I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and you could tell that the food was made with love. I'm sure this little hidden gem won't be hidden soon. I hope they'll be able to adjust to their popularity and find ways to improve wait times as they gain more attention on social media.

    I had the marinated beef kimbop and a Honey Citron tea. Just standing outside of the little space I already knew this was going to be great. It smelled soooo yummy! The roll was delicious and the tea was refreshing. I'll be back to try more things from the menu . The lady was so sweet, we'll be back for more!

    Oh my shop delicious. I also tried the beef bulgogi roll (not pictured) and it was fantastic. Recommend getting a few different sauces, not needed but adds some extra dazzle dazzle. Staff is friendly and everything tasted so fresh. Just be prepared to take it togo, as it's a food truck and they don't have picnic tables, but it's worth.

    I grew up in South Korea and this is by far the best kimbap i've had since moving back to the U.S. It's so flavorful and delicious, and the service is great. Please go try this place out!

    Omg it was bomb would go back def loved the kimbop with tofu and the green tea. It was fast too because I had to go back to work and I waited like 10 mins tops.

    Tteokbokki

    Amazing food, very authentic and very cheap!!!! I got the tteokbokki and my boyfriend got the tuna mayo and it was too good for the price. The portion of the food is great for the price as well. I hope they become a restaurant one day cause they deserve it, PERFECT FOOD!!!!

    This place is so damn good! Definitely one of the best hidden gems of downtown! Amazing value for to-go food and hits the spot every time.

    Fried Tofu and Spicy Pork

    It was a little hard to find but once we found it, it was a cute little truck and first thing I noticed was just how clean it was inside and outside of the truck. When we got home and tried the fried tofu and the spicy pork, it was SOOOO delicious It's right down the street from me so I will be going back to order 4 beef bulgolgi's The service was decently fast for her being the only one there since she had the rolls already made so all she had to do was cut them and pack them. Can't wait to go back!

    THIS PLACE IS REALLY GOOD! GREAT SERVICE AS WELL!…read more Food: 4/5 The food has a great taste! I really loved the galbi, it was a little sweet but very good. The Banchan aren't what I'm used to, I guess I wish there was more variety. No rice paper, no radish, no mac salad, no potato salad...we did order the fried dumplings- they were good. Service: 5/5 They're very kind and attentive! The small group of women who run this place are doing a phenomenal job. All around:4/5. The plates are a bit small (I am a light eater and still found them not very big for the price) not ridiculously small, but on the smaller side. I am also used to Koreatown - Los Angeles Korean food which I feel is a league of its own (lol) so it's definitely hard for me to like just any Korean food. All in all It's a little far and out of our way, but we will definitely come back. :)

    Came here for dinner and it was great. I got the fried dumplings (mandu) as an appetizer and they…read morewere really good! Good amount of filling and great crispiness of the wrapper. There were 7 different banchan options, and some were great while others were just okay. The fish cake and kimchi cucumbers were good, but others like the kimchi and the bean sprouts could have used more flavor. As an entree, I ordered the spicy tofu soup, but I wish it was a little spicier! The soup also had a stronger seafood/fish taste compared to other tofu soups I've had, which I didn't expect. The service was just okay, not rude but also not excessively nice. I liked how cozy the inside felt with the dim lighting!

Fast forward a few years, now named Garlic Bulgogi (and closer to Bandera/Huebner), the restaurant brings the same energy and joy with delicious, well-served dishes! My husband and I love to come to Garlic Bulgogi on the weekends as one of our cozy spots. He always ordered the Beef Bulgogi and I jump between Spicy Beef Bulgogi, Beef Bulgogi Stew or in this case, Beef Japchae. The plates are always consistent in flavor and portion sizes. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and we love the owner! She is always attentive and ready to check on guests. Tonight's experience was perfect! Our dishes were served with banchan which included kimchi, cucumbers, potatoes, daikon, onions and more. The Beef Japchae was packed with veggies, tender beef, hot, and the sweet potato noodles brought the right about of texture to the dish. The Beef Bulgogi plate was an explosion of flavor in every bite. The beef was tender and always a great go-to. Each dish came with a side of white rice. We absolutely love Garlic Bulgogi and have the best time, food and experience when we visit! We can't wait come back to try a new dish.

    Not the best experience…read more the spicy rice cakes, tteokboki were watery, but they were still spicy. I recommend the beef Bulgogi that seemed really delicious. White rice seem OK and hot tea. I'm a big spicy rice cake, tteokboki lover, and I will probably frequent another spot for it.

    4.5 Stars. After attending "Shen Yuen" I wanted to do…read moresomething special to heighten that experience. Chas Market & Kitchen had been long on my list and since it was minutes away, seemed like the most logical choice. I have constantly heard people sing its praises. I will say I'm not versed in Korean fare. I had previously went to another Korean Restaurant and had a terrible experience. It is somewhere on the outskirts of the Eastside, alongside the highway. From the exterior it feels like a neighborhood convenient store. Once inside the room opens up with ample seating and tables. I noticed the tables that are specifically for their "All You Can Eat" menu but that's for another review. Along the walls are fridges with drinks and little knick knacks. It reminded me of a bodega. After we found a seat a server came and left menus. The menu is really extensive. I decided on their beef bulgogi, again a redo after the previous restaurant fiasco. A hip soundtrack is playing overhead, which I believe gives the place a modern vibe. Before I go on I must include that the server was excellent. I say this as he was very attentive but still able to work the rest of the room. Whenever I go to a new place sometimes I feel an anxiety. My fear is being disappointed and having wasted my time. But my impression is that it is an ultra laid back place. You can leave your Armani suit and Louboutin shoes at home. When the food came to the table it was served on a plate steaming similar to a fajita plancha. The server brought over accompanying small dishes that are meant to be added to the bulgogi. The small dishes contained: kimichi, spicy cucumbers, radish etc. Combining any or all with the dishes heightened the flavors. I think this was the most unique tasting thing I've had this year. In addition if you want a drink you have to choose one from their wall of fridges. I think this might dissuade some patrons but again, the overall experience is like that of a bodega. If you are looking for great Korean food with excellent service by all means go to Chas Market & Kitchen. So far this year this has been the restaurant with the most unique flavors. It is perfect for a date night, friends or with family. And I have to, have to absolutely do their "All You Can Eat" where you cook all items. I'm buying if someone else is doing the cooking.

    Highly recommend the clay pot bimbombop. The rice on the bottom gets crispy like pegao…read more You can sit down and order and they have a server waiting on you before it used to be order at the counter. You can also shop around and add it to your bill. I like to get some ice cream for the afterburn. The Tteokbokki sauce wasn't as thick as other places plus they don't put cheese on it. It's original classic Tteokbokki.
