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. read more
