    Fried sweet chili chicken $5.99 plus tax ($6.56)  9/13/21
    Katy Z.

    I was walking back to my car from the grocery store when I stumbled upon this place. What initially caught my eye was the rolls. There was many choices or so it seemed and ranged from the typical California roll to those Korean rolls. I was tempted to get some rolls but there were no prices on them. The sign that was below the rolls describe what we might be seeing but the part with the $ sign was empty. Since I was intrigued by what else they had, I walked into the small side of the shop and stumbled upon this fried sweet chili chicken. It looked like something I used to eat with my family so I figured I'd give it a try and I'm so glad I did. Wow! This is delicious! Perfectly sweet and spicy and comes with 9 pieces. A little sad it wasn't very crispy, but considering all the sauce on it, it's okay. It was $6.56 ($5.99 plus tax). Not many places in the market accept card but this place does!

    I don't understand why the Deli is located outside the supermarket portion of the store, but here they are, selling their ready-to-eat stuff just outside the supermarket. They also have raw meat here, which confuses the heck out of me. But the reason you must visit this place is their ready-made Korean BBQ marinade. Just add these to your short ribs and voila! Korean BBQ short ribs. Bought a gallon of this and it lasted quite a while. Well, I guess it depends on how big your BBQ party is going to be. The point is that it didn't spoil quickly.

    i typically go pick up spicy pork rolls but they usually sell out by noonish so go early ~ flavor is good, as so their price

    Great place for what it is. Decent eats on a cheap budget. Pro-tip: go towards closing time for reduced prices. Of course, that might mean that some items are sold out. Located inside the building, right by the inner entrance to the market. They have a decent selection of things, but I usually pick from the ready to eat section. I'm not going to lie and say their food is amazing. I'm telling you that it's decent eats on a cheap budget. It's where you eat when you don't have a specific craving and you don't want to break the bank. For example: if you really crave a good CA roll, this won't exactly satisfy but it's good enough and you will be full.

    This is my go to place for Korean banchan and meats whenever I am too lazy to drive all the way to H Mart (even the Arcadia one). The quality is pretty good and the prices are reasonable. They are separate from the Supermarket, so you have to pay at their cashier.

    Beware! Not a honest business. Disappointed today I have to say as their regular customer. Bought a spider roll $5.99 but she charged me for a Karagee Roll which was $6.99 (knowing they just made it from the kitchen without a price tag). Probably will not come back anymore. Not a smart choice to run your business.

    Get your korean fix in SGV! They have a wide variety of choices already pre-made in bento boxes from salmon, korean sushi rolls, galbi, chicken wings and many more. Also, they have lots of side dishes to choose from. If you live in the area and want something ready to eat, here is the place. I come here often because the prices are good and the quality of food. Location: Inside the supermarket They accept cash and credit

    Right when you walk in past the Japanese restaurant you see a stand. They make fresh bibimbap rolls and hot korean food to go. To the left is a variety of korean food that is well marinated, hot or prepped to be cooked. This is a great place to go if u want korean food and it'll definitely save you money! Some of the marinated meat is about $4.99 and it's a lot of meat! Along the aisle is also alot banchans you choose from to take home. At the very end of the aisle is where the hot food ready to go is located. I got the spicy pork roll $3.99 & my sister got the original roll $2.99. Both of the rolls were really big for the cheap price & went along well with the sauce. I'm so full from a single roll. Both of the workers were really nice & we got the orig. Roll free for yelping - so be sure to check in & put in a review! (: very welcoming and friendly, I'd come here every other day if I lived here, but sister does occasionally. As for the hot food to go, I got their kimchi fried rice $2.99 & the teriyaki chicken $3.49. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat any of those because I'm so full from that single roll. I'm very satisfied with the food & I'm sure they both will be yummy later. I would def. Recommend this to anyone who loves korean food because there are so many options to choose from & will def. Save some $$ as well.

    I used to come here all the time for kimbaps to go! And today I found out they now have their own freshly hand made Kimbap roll station that just opened. I used to live in ktown and I love Kimbap, but now they have their own little station. Not only is their Kimbap wayy affordable, but they offer free sauces on the side, pretty cool. That's what makes it different. The sauces makes it extra good! You get a free original Kimbap for free for a yelp review! The original is made with fish cake which is my fave. Go and get yourself a free one!

    Hello friends & strangers! I am back with another review and this time it's a positive one. Today I was on my way to get my teeth x-rayed and the receptionist told us that the wait will be quite long. I didn't get to eat lunch so I was starving. I made my way into the market and there it was, my life and savior, How About Rolls? As a teenager who loves korean culture, I couldn't believe my eyes that there was a kimbap stand. I knew I had to try it out as soon as possible because I usually don't have to opportunity too. Can you believe that a roll is $4.34 with tax? That is unbelievably cheap and there's so much choices you can choose from, there are kimchi rolls, tuna rolls, spam rolls, and many more! Since I am a fellow kimchi lover, I got kimchi roll. The best part about the shop is that you are able to watch the cook put everything together, this means that everything is freshly made. It does take a while but let me tell you that is worth every second! There are also different types of sauce they have and I got the spicy mayo, it was amazing. Now to the best part, the actual kimchi roll. The best thing I have ever tasted in my whole entire life. It was amazing, every bite that I took, I just wanted more. Here comes the best part, if you make a yelp review and post it, they will give you another roll for free! Anyways, I recommend for you to come and try out this new place that just opened!

    Still Our Favorite Tofu Spot -- Had to Bring the Family This Time!…read more Of course we had to come back to our favorite tofu spot, and this time we brought the family for a belated Mother's Day dinner after raving about this place nonstop. Best part? We saw Shelly, our favorite girl that works here! She's always so sweet, kind, and welcoming every single time we visit. It honestly makes the experience even better when you're greeted by familiar friendly faces. We came around 7:30 PM and the wait was only about 10 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how popular this place gets. Service was quick, efficient, and the food kept coming out fast. Plenty of tables inside, so it never felt too cramped. This time around we ordered: * Jap Chae * Bulgogi with Beef & Seafood Tofu Combo * Spicy Pork w/ seafood & beef combo * Teriyaki Chicken w/ seafood & beef tofu * Bulgogi with All Seafood & Beef Tofu Combo And of course... the unlimited refills of the banchan are always one of the best parts. Honestly, sometimes I think I could make a full meal out of just those alone. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and exactly why we keep coming back every couple of months. I will say the prices have slowly been creeping up little by little each visit, but honestly, we still enjoy it every time. Still our go-to tofu spot and definitely one we'll continue bringing family and friends to. Happy eats!

My family has been coming here since the pandemic days when they had the tables outside and met a server named Valente. He's always been so amazing with us and his service as well as other staff here has been phenomenal. It's always nice coming over here for more than 5 years and seen this place get renovated and upgraded and we've loved it even more now! Happily Valente is still here to greet us with a smile and give us an amazing service like today when my sister and I came for lunch. The food is ALWAYS amazing!

We didn't realize what a big portion this would be the first time we ordered it, but it's definitely shareable or you can do what we do: add a combo for extra food to take home for leftovers =P I do also wish they added more broth/water to their tofu soup because it always seems so dry after they bring it out. Their Beef Ribs area also good! Their banchans are good (some are a bit on the sweet side). Service is still quick and restaurant is clean. One unisex restroom in the back that's clean. Parking lot is still a doozy but this plaza is always really busy.

Even though there was a weekday special, we ended up going with the normal dinner menu since we wanted some more of the speciality cuts. Of the sides, my favorite was the steamed egg. It was sooo savory and good!! I usually tap out after one steamed egg but I ended up ordering another one because it was just that good. The corn cheese was just okay to me but it got cold and hard really fast. For the meats, we tried a lot of different things. Usually beef belly is one of my favs but I thought this one was a bit thick and hard. All the other cuts though were incredible, like the beef tongue, galbi, flat iron, and pork jowl. The pork jowl was actually both our favorites because it just melted in our mouths! They were quick with changing our grills and asking us if we wanted more meats so service was great! I'd come back if I was in the area but probably wouldn't drive out just for this place.

The beef belly was hard to chew because it was so thick. The tongue was so thick it's like you're eating real tongue . The brisket was sliced perfectly and probably the best out of all the meats we ordered. Pork jowl was okay. The vegetable egg roll in the buffet section was cold. The beansprouts did not have any flavor. Service was amazing because the restaurant barely opened. Other than that there's no vent sucking the smoke so you'll smell a lot walking out of there. Overall, I would definitely not go back due to the food quality.
