    I was not expecting much, and this place exceeded my expectations with not only a large variety of options for almost any diet but some unique flavors I haven't seen before in onigiri or musubi. I visited near end of day, so options were limited. I was glad to taste that even though these were not necessarily fresh from earlier in the day it was still a really enjoyable flavor experience and very well made with no crumbling making it easy to eat on the go. If you're seeking onigiri or musubi, or even just a quick bite that is small but filling, I definitely recommend a stop in! There is also some unassuming seating available, if you want to just sit and enjoy vs take for the road or save for later.

    I have been here twice now and each time try the rice balls. We got 5 rice balls this time. We placed the order online for pickup and it was ready when we got there. Overall inside had Air conditioning, not the best, but there is not too much seating inside so not expecting people to stay too long, its okay as we got it togo. The 5 rice balls we got were, Tuna, Crab meat, Spicy pork, Beef and Tamago Yaki. Overall the Tuna and Crab meat were excellent. Great flavor, while not overwhelmingly strong. The spicy pork and beef were mediocre, they did give alot of meat on both but i felt that the spice was overpowering the rice. The Tamago was super bland with little to no flavoring. I put some of the extra spicy pork/beef on the tamago and was way better. Will come back to try out the other options.

    Gam tu bop is a takeout restaurant with a focus on rice balls. They are around $3.50-5, very affordable lunch option in Glendale area. The turnaround for an order is very fast as well. I've never waited more than 10 minutes. Food: my favorite is the Tamago yaki which it so soft and tasty 5/5. The spicy tuna hand roll is yummy as well 5/5. The baked salmon rice ball is always perfectly cooked 5/5.

    I can't believe I did not know about this place sooner. The rice balls are something I have been looking for since my trip to Japan and this place hits the spot. Each rice ball is between $3-$4 dollars. My favorite was the salmon but you could not go wrong with any of them. No place to sit inside but you can order online. Will definitely be back to try the other flavors.

    Reasonably price onigiri in my town? Yes please! This place is a hidden gem and I'm so glad I was introduced to it. I've now been here three times in the last two months, it's that good. I recommend the tofu, the salmon, the tuna and the kimchi. And I always get a misubi for the next morning. Plus it comes with a seaweed wrap on the side. If you're in the area, you have to try this place! Just a heads up, there's no indoor seating. It's takeaway only.

    It's a small little shop that is take away only, no indoor dining. There are couple chairs for the waiting area. The service was quick and the guy taking the order was very nice. I tried the beef, kimchi, and tuna rice balls. The order came out hot and super fresh with a side of seaweed that you can use it as a wrap/holder of the rice balls so they don't fall apart as easily. They were all pretty flavorful and yummy but I wish the beef and the kimchi rice balls were a bit less sweet. The tuna rice ball was canned tuna with mayo. It's a nice place to grab a quick bite!

A friend and I met here for happy hour prior to a performance at Pasadena Playhouse. It couldn't be more perfect since it is 1 to 2 blocks away and you only have to park once. You also do not have to rush. They have happy hour until 6 PM and another one at 8 PM. The options for drinks and food, as well as the prices are very appealing, but the quality and taste really make it. The food is more of a Thai fusion with strong Thai flavors. The bar bites are meant to be small, but we ordered about four items that completely filled us up as dinner. Standouts for me, worthy tiger, prawn, ceviche, and the crispy Seabass with mangoes, mango sauce, and papaya salad. All the food has a kick, but it is not overly spicy. When I walked into the bar, I saw some house made bitters and fresh ingredients everywhere so I knew the drinks would be awesome. The Peacock margarita has passionfruit and a touch of Mezcal in it. The lychee margarita is not too sweet and so well balanced. Our mixologist, Sebastian was delightful and provided incredible service. I could go back for all these reasons and definitely will do so

    Came here with friends and was SO impressed by the pork collar and royal fried rice (with fish…read moreroe)! The crispy fried shrimp cakes and the lime branzino were insanely good as well. Definitely recommend the tropical coconut panna cotta for dessert - it's incredibly rich and creamy. The entire space is huge and great for large groups. The environment is super clean and elevated (pet friendly patio too)

We didn't question it and started eating. Midway through our meal, the manager came over and said it was actually a mistake - that the cucumbers were a paid item. He gave us two options: keep eating and get charged, or have it taken away and not be charged. At that point, we had already eaten about half. Of course, we declined the extra charge since we genuinely thought it came with our order. What happened next is what lost me as a customer. The manager took the dish and immediately dumped it in the trash right behind me, where I could hear it. It felt unnecessary and honestly a bit disrespectful. A better way to handle it would've been to acknowledge the mistake and just comp the dish this time. Instead, it turned into an awkward moment over what couldn't have been more than a few dollars' worth of cucumbers. Not a great experience, and not a place I'd return to based on how this was handled.

We ordered angel wings and usually angel wings have the bones taken out. And kind of stuffed with some other ingredients. But angel wings here were just your normal, chicken and wings wings. It turned out so kinda a bummer. They were ok, definitely crispy and cooked well. we ordered Pad Thai, eggplant with beef, and papaya salad. One of their popular dishes was the coconut corn chicken curry and that was served in a coconut and that was amazing. So definitely a plus. the eggplant in comparison spot on sometimes the eggplant is overcooked and a little mushy with the spice and everything but it was cooked perfectly well, as far as our taste, we felt that it was cooked perfectly well seasoned well with the beef and everything like that. But the papaya salad, it was a little bit light on flavoring we weren't sure only bc normally we have it spicy and this time we ordered not as spicy bc our son does not eat spicy and maybe that was the difference. But we're not sure. And the pad thai also came out well and tasted great, but seemed light on the meat. Overall we liked the flavors.
