Been coming back here for multiple times already, trying out different kinds of their kimbap and so far most of them have been a hit. Probably the only one that I could say didn't really suit my palate well was only the beef. All the others I tried got me hooked, including Tuna, Anchovies and cream cheese, and Spicy Squid. I would say the first two were hard to choose from as they're each good in their own way! My biggest highlight would be their stuffing to rice ratio was certainly so so generous. All ingredients were also so fresh and tasty, and price-to-size ratio was such great deal. They unfortunately only offer to-go option despite the space did have some tables and chairs. Not sure why, probably back then they're open for dine-in and not anymore. The lady at the store was super nice, always look cheerful and very attentive in serving. I've done both online pre-order and order on the spot, and they have both been extremely quickly. read more

Overall had a good experience. The restaurant has two entrances, one from the street and another from the hallway. My first impression walking in wasn't the best because there was an unpleasant smell inside, but the food itself was good. I ordered three kinds: beef, shrimp mayo, and spam. My favorite was the spam because it was served warm and tasted really satisfying. The shrimp mayo was also very flavorful and enjoyable. I liked the beef one too, but it was very cold and crumbly, which made it a bit messy to eat. Despite a few negatives, I still enjoyed the food overall and would come back to try more items. read more

The Ssam kimbap here is PHENOMENAL! Although the other kimbap offerings here are decent, the ssam kimbap is just next level, and it's basically the only one I get here. It's a spicy pork kimbap that captures the spirit of Korean bbq in bite sized pieces. This place is takeout only. Tell the valet that you're picking up takeout and they'll tell you where to park for free. read more

This spot has changed to a pick up to go only spot. But the food is so so good. I love how filled their kimbap is and they add a lot of vegetables and lettuce, which makes it feel really fresh. This lady working there was super nice and I got my food quick and efficiently will definitely stop by again when I'm craving it. read more

Love making this one of the stops whenever I go to la! The restaurant is so cute and small and you can't sit down but that's ok since your day is probably going to be jam-packed anyway. Everything I've ever gotten here has always been so good!!! Also the container they pack it in is so cute and small!!! read more

The Kimbap - Tuna kimbap - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My go to place. I get the perilla leaf kimbap, clean and refreshing, esp for the summer. And a sausage kimbap with american cheese add-on...the lingo is "cheese choo-gah". I guess choo-gah means add-on. And fishcake soup on the side. Yum. read more

Drove here and wasted my gas and time because they decide to close whenever they feel like it. Why have business hours if you're not going to follow them? read more

One of my favorite kimbap places in koreatown (aside from the one in the California market food court and Kimbap Paradise). There is no DINE IN here and they accept to-go order's only, so I usually call in advance and order for pick up. I love the sweet pumpkin ddukkbbokki here, it pairs well with their kimbap's and it's a sort of healthier [?] take on ddukbbokki. While the sauce is creamy, there's a good amount of kick in it. read more

Yummy! Quick, fresh, with lots of variety! Enjoyed the tuna and my daughter loved the fish cake! Great balance of ingredients! Affordable take out! We'll be back again! Nice service! There's also plenty of seating if you want to dine in! read more

Kimbap is one of my go to fast comfort foods. This place was suggested to me by my Korean friend who works up the street. This place consistently delivers great quality Kimbap! Quick and delicious. Tried three different types Beef, Kimchi and sausage. All good. If you want a free drink just post and tag em on Instagram. read more

Easy, in and out service. I walked here to get some Kimbap for dinner to-go. For two people, I got four kimbap singles: - Spicy Squid - Sausage - Beef - Kimchi They all pretty much tasted similar with just the protein swapped out. HOWEVER, the spicy squid is indeed very spicy! They do warn you on the menu. I'd say it's notably spicier than sriracha. The spiciness comes from the jalapeños AND the squid itself. My favorites were the beef (classic. Can't go wrong) and the kimchi (liked the tanginess of it). If you like sausage, you may like the sausage kimbap but it wasn't that noteworthy to me. The spicy squid was a bit too spicy for me. Four single rolls were too much for two people for dinner. Next time I'd only get 3 single rolls, maximum. Super affordable meal. Staff was very sweet and packaged the items carefully. I will be back! read more

The Kimbap - Interior. Pick up only! - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ordered from doordash. Based on the app the food was prepared right away. All this food was $22 before tax and tip, which is honestly not bad at all for the portion and quality. I ordered the mixed twigim with squid and rice noodle rolls. They were still crispy when they arrived and came with two sauces and two pickled side dishes. One roll of kimbab is about $6-8 bucks. They have more complicated rolls for closer to $11 but either way its such great value. Recommending this to the office and will order from them again. read more

The Kimbap - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

*** Take-out only *** The Kimbap is a small grab-and-go shop in Koreatown and the shop only specializes one item - kimbap (aka Korean seaweed rice rolls). [Parking]: While the parking lot has a valet parking sign, visitors can tell the valet person that you are here for the Kimbap and you will get free 10-minute parking. [Options]: They have 15 different kimbap options with 3 super spicy options (spicy chicken, spicy pork, and spicy squid). Single portion = 10 pieces and double portion = 20 pieces. Special kimbaps with dotted box on the menu have one set portion with 12 pieces. The shop recommends kimbap should be eaten within 3 hours after purchase. Some of popular items include Super Spicy Pork Kimbap, Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice, Tuna Kimbap, Mayo Shrimp Kimbap, Super Spicy Squid Kimbap, and Beef Kimbap. They also sell other miscellaneous items like rice cakes, fish cakes, dumplings, fried dishes, rice dishes, soups, and noodles. *** Super Spicy Pork Kimbap (12 pieces - $10): They were not lying about being super spicy - it was DEFINITELY spicy. I was able to tolerate the spicy level, but it was slightly spicier than Sriracha sauce. Oddly enough this kimbap tasted more like a wrap rather than traditional kimbap. (4/5) Tuna Kimbap (10 pieces - $6): I love this kimbap - I could tell these kimbaps were freshly prepared and they were some of best kimbaps I have had. (5/5) *** Overall I like tuna kimbap over super spicy pork kimbap. There's no question this shop sells one of the best kimbaps in SoCal. 4.5-star on kimbap and bump up on easy parking and fast grab-and-go ordering process. read more

One of my favorite little eateries for quick, nutritious, and delicious food. They offer 4 kinds of vegetarian kimbap: avocado, mushroom, kimchi, and perilla leaves. We got all four single rolls for about $26 so it's a great deal. It comes with a special soy sauce that tastes amazing. If we had to choose, the avocado kimbap is our favorite. This is a takeout spot but service is fast. If it's the weekend and parking is difficult to find, you can call ahead to place an order. read more

Freshly made kimbap. Our go to are the mayo shrimp, avocado, and beef. We were surprised they are opened on New Year's Day.

Probably the best kimbap shop in all of Ktown- I'm surprised it took me this long to finally come try it. I was in the area so decided to stop by and I was happy I did! I found free street parking nearby and walked over. It was completely empty on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the kimchi kimbap and the beef kimbap - both the small size. It was very good - not too heavy on the rice. The kimchi one felt very fresh but I wish they used a homemade kimchi. Their kimchi tastes like the store bought ones. The beef one was flavorful but the beef was so overcooked it was almost powdery. I love that you can get the smaller size so you can try more flavorful. There's pretty much no wait time. I ordered and got my items within 10 seconds. The aunties working here are very nice. I'll definitely be back to try more of their flavors! read more

I'm not sure why there isn't indoor seating anymore, but I had the spicy pork kimbap and the beef kimbap. The spicy pork was amazing and I recommend this over the beef kimbap. read more

I got **FOOD POISONING** after eating here. A few hours after eating the beef kimbap, I started throwing up repeatedly--over 15 times--and eventually had to go to the ER. The ER confirmed it was a virus caused by contaminated food or poor handling practices, and this was the only food I ate all day (i got this for lunch, and i already felt ill by dinner) I have all the reports from the ER to back this up. When I called the shop to report this, they were dismissive and almost hung up before even offering a solution. Their attitude made me feel like they genuinely didn't care about customers getting sick from their food. When I mentioned reporting the incident, they told me to just email their insurance. Does this happen often? Do they really have an entire process in place for food poisoning complaints? This made me seriously question their practices and how often this happens. Be careful eating here--your health might depend on it. read more

Anytime I'm in Koreatown (which is often) and I need something quick to eat (again, which is often) The Kimbap is my go-to. It's a quick-service take-out only spot, and it's always very fast even though I always order in-person. I always end up ordering a Spicy Chicken or Spicy something and it is SPICY- I don't have an extremely high spice tolerance, but it's not low either- definitely can tolerate spice more that the average person. But holy cow their spicy is SPICY. I always end up hyperventilating a few pieces in, but also can't stop eating because it's so good. They have a valet lot, but if I tell the parking attendant that I'm there to quickly pick up from The Kimbap he always points to an empty spot and lets me park on my own. Highly recommend for an easy yet delicious and filling lunch.. and SPICY.. don't say I didn't warn you! read more

Kimbap will knock your socks off with lots of flavors that rock! They walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to being the tastiest of the block. It's kinda like a Pringle, once you pop you can't stop! I ordered two of my favorites on the go because unfortunately they only have take out and no inside dining allowed to enjoy the circular morsels. First up their avocado that came with picked radish, fish cake, carrots and egg. Who knew such a small morsel could pack up a delicious punch! The next set was their mushroom and this came with pretty much the same thing but some pieces seem to have more mushrooms than the others or maybe I'm just a mushroom hog! LoL! Besides kimbap they offer other items but I was just here for that. Service was good but the parking can be a pain since it's in such a small plaza. Other than that it's a tasty stop shop. That's my take, Peace out. read more

Food is very good. Been coming here since pre covid times. I love to order ahead by phone and I usually get my food done by the time I get there. There is parking but it's valet. If you are only picking up, let them know and they will let you park there for a while to get your food. I wished they opened the restaurant like before with the indoor seating but I understand to keep the cost of the food down, they kept it a to go moto. read more

I came with my friend to The Kimbap on a Friday night. We were able to find parking nearby, but the adjacent parking lot is super small and fills up quickly. The restaurant itself was empty since they're only doing to-go orders--we got our order about 10 minutes after placing it. We ordered the Spicy Pork Kimbap and Spicy Rice Cake. The kimbap was nicely flavored and adequately spicy. Each ingredient tasted fresh and well prepared. However, each piece fell apart as soon as I picked it up. The roll came with 10 pieces, and the pieces were on the larger side. Overall, it was solid kimbap, especially for the price. The tteokbokki was very average; it had good flavor but was kind of expensive for what you get. It only had rice cake and fish cake, and there was way too much sauce for the amount of food provided. I would really just stick with their kimbap. The cashier was friendly, and the price point for the kimbap was good. I'd stop by again when I'm looking for something quick and affordable! read more

My family always enjoys the kimbap from here, especially the tuna one. They're stuffed with ingredients-great value and delicious!

These kimbaps are really good! Great ratio of filling to rice, delicious ingredients, good price for what you get, fast and friendly service. We ordered several rolls to bring back home to the family. Beef, spicy pork, spicy chicken, squid. My favorite was the beef, which wasn't spicy at all. I think the hit at the house was spicy pork and squid though. Everyone seemed to love them most. Least favorite was the spicy chicken which was overpoweringly spicy. Leftovers held over well the next day, and my sister even took some to work for lunch the next day. I'd come here all the time for an easy portable to go on the run if it were nearby. read more

really love their tuna! The spicy pork is a bit too hot for me, and I'm not a fan of the ground beef. The prices are affordable, and the food has an authentic Korean taste. The only downside is that the restaurant is tucked away in an alley, so it's a bit hard to find. read more

The Kimbap is located in the Omni plaza which is the next plaza over from California Market on Western Ave. It's easy to drive by and completely miss the restaurant! Parking in the area is horrible;however, there is valet parking for not that much money. I'd rather pay valet then circle the neighborhood looking for parking, but if you let the valet guy know that your getting "takeout", he will let you briefly park at no charge (free). The kimbap rolls here are good. I got the beef, spicy pork, spam n cheese, and tuna. Tuna was my least favorite; the rest were good. The pork kimbap was pretty spicy. They recommended that the kimbap rolls be eaten within 3 hrs of purchase. Currently it's takeout only. They accept take credit cards and cash. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! Fast service and such delicious kimbaps! I LOVE how they pack in the filling and not just fill it with rice I'm so glad my friends recommended this spot. I love kimbap but I hate when it's filled with rice. This place rolls it how it's supposed to be! I got Perilla leaf, fish cake, spicy squid, and sautéed mushrooms! They were all so delicious. 10/10 stars! read more

I've been coming here for years and years, when they still had dine-in. Understandably now, they are to-go only. But Amy has stayed the same kind owner I've known since coming here before. I'm sad I haven't written a review for here, until now. The kimbap has stayed the same quality ever since I tried it the first time. So good, and very affordable. Thank you Amy for your exceptional service, and providing great food at a great price. *Parking valet guys are super chill and if you tell them you're here to pick-up, no need to valet your car! ***The reason I want to give a shout out now, is because I called for a pick-up order and upon checking my bag - realized I received a wrong order than what I had placed. I called and Amy was extremely apologetic, and was receptive to me coming back to retrieve the right order. When I came back with the wrong order in hand, she insisted I keep it and handed me the right order. Thank you! read more

Love the selection and authenticity of flavors that you can order - I ordered 3 for my first visit (Kimchi, Spam, and Sausage). They were well packaged to be enjoyed on the go or at home. You cannot stay and eat there as they are takeout only. The food comes out fast and the service is friendly. I definitely want to try the other dishes too, it all looks so promising! Parking can be tricky in the area, but you can certainly get lucky with street parking and a short walk over. The closest lot is valet only, so you've been warned! read more

Quick service. Kimbap made fresh. There's a variety of Kimbap options. First time here, I had bookmarked this place to try whenever I get the chance to go back to LA. Met all of my expectations! There are actually other food on the menu that I'd love to try like their noodle dishes and such. Only downside is that there is no dine in; take out only. the place is spacious and inviting but apparently there aren't enough staff and elderly workers. (There's a sticky note that lets people know that when they pay for their meal). Still, I loved it there; feels like I'm in a kdrama ordering my snack Other than that I would definitely recommend and go back! They are super friendly and the prices are affordable for LA! 1 serving is plenty but double is so worth it read more

My go-to for japchae and mayo shrimp kimbap. Always a good time, always quick + fresh. If you're sensitive to spice, the spicy is SPICY here so be prepared. I have a fairly high spice tolerance and I can barely get through the spicy pork or squid (though both are absolutely amazing). 100000/10 read more

No dining in available. street parking only. Mushroom kimbap was my favorite. We also got the avocado kimbap and the sesame leaf kimbap. Both were good. The beef kimbap was disappointing. Unflavored ground beef. Wouldn't recommend. I expected the most from the beef since it was the only meat item. The rest were good though. There was multiple signs that said free soda if you post a picture of instagram. I did that and the lady says that's for dine in only. Well, there's no dining in, so was disappointed with the signs that got my hopes up. I'd go back for the mushroom kimbap, but that's it. I'd rather try another place before I come back here. read more

Incredible kimbap at a cute mom and pop shop. The service is nice and helpful - they were patient when I asked a couple of questions and recommendations. The kimbap is made fresh, quickly, and has a lot of different options. The price is excellent and one serving is a large snack or a light meal. Two servings probably would be sufficient for a meal. It's a place I would 100% visit again if in Koreatown/LA. read more
