I highly recommend this place. I've been going to this place since this restaurant opened. The previous owner was nice, but the new owner is not only even nicer but also makes great gimbap. If you are from Korea, you will definitely feel at home and experience authentic Korean 'bunsik' here. I would give 10 stars if I could. Don katsu, Tuna, spicy ssam are our goto menu! read more

I had to grab a quick dinner because of a last-minute plan, so I looked for a kimbap spot around Cerritos and ended up here. The first thing I noticed was how big the menu is -- lots of variety, which I liked. I ended up ordering the keto kimbap, sesame leaf kimbap, and tuna kimbap. The price per roll wasn't exactly cheap, but each one was packed with ingredients, so it felt worth it. The portions were generous too -- I ordered thinking it would be enough for two people, but honestly it could've fed three. The flavors were very clean and well-balanced overall. They also gave me some fish cake soup on the side when I asked, which was a nice touch. The only downside was the wait. It felt like it took about 20 minutes, probably because they were backed up with orders. That said, it seemed like a small, family-run place with just a couple people working, so it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, a really solid experience. read more

Gangnam Kimbob - Keto, sesame leaf & tuna - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

I love this place as an more unique specialized addition to the vast Cerritos restaurant landscape. Sure there were Korean restaurants with kimbob, but having a specialized kimbob restaurant for larger orders for family dinners or parties has been very convenient and delicious. The kimbobs are sizeable and every one of the flavors were good so I don't really have a favorite persay. And they do have other stuff like dumplings, takoyaki, deokbokki, etc. I found the price to be reasonable and the staff, which appeared to be mom and pop, to be friendly and accommodating. Interior is a little smaller and parking is in a smaller lot but shouldn't be an issue to find a spot. Would recommend! read more

Gangnam Kimbob is located in a small center with different shops. The restaurant itself isn't too big but the food is really good! We called to place an order and the person who answered was really friendly. We got the bulgogi kimbob and shrimp tempura kimbob. Each came with 10. Definitely more than enough for two people and for the price it's a great value. The flavor was incredible. Will be coming again!! read more

A small, family-run hidden gem with the nicest owners serving up seriously loaded kimbap! Everything is made fresh to order, with over 20 varieties such as bulgogi, unagi, tempura, tonkatsu, ssam, and plenty of vegetarian options. Their kimbap stands out with generous fillings-more ingredients than rice in every bite. And don't skip the rest of the menu. The spicy rice cakes, chicken skewers, sodduk, and yubu were all packed with flavor. We're already planning our next visit! read more

Amazing kimbap. You would think if you had one kimbap, you've had them all, but Gangnam just hits. We bought 3 today, Spicy Ssam, Tuna & Eel, all were delicious, but the Spicy Ssam was just a nice surprise for an uncommon flavor. They have other menu items including rameyon, tteobokki, dumpings, etc. Seating is limited, would not recommend for large groups (just order to go). Parking is limited. Service is quick and friendly. Can't wait to come again! read more

Gangnam Kimbob - Spicy Saam - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

Parking lot can feel tight sometimes . "Kimbap (or gimbap) is a popular Korean dish of cooked rice, vegetables, meat, or fish rolled in dried seaweed (gim) and sliced into bite-sized pieces, often served as a picnic food or snack, distinct from sushi by its sesame oil-seasoned rice and typically cooked fillings. Its name means "seaweed rice," and fillings commonly include carrots, spinach, pickled radish (danmuji), egg, fish cake, beef, or tuna, making it a versatile, hearty, and savory meal" The menu has a big variety, look for their lunch specials. I'm excited to come back to try other items. Customer service was friendly. Quaint place, a handful of seats, many people order togo. They also offer kimbap for catering, perfect for family parties :) read more

We have been watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, and decided to come get some kimbap. Gangnam Kimbob is located in a small strip mall with some parking spots. There are a few seats for dining in but a lot of people get takeout or food delivery. There are many kimbap options as well as some non-kimbap dishes. Each roll is generous in portion and size, ranging from $8-12. I also added a small udon soup, which FYI has no actual udon noodle (it's just the broth). We ordered fish cake, eel, and spicy ssam kimbap. There is also a dispenser with cold/hot water and some tea bags near the door. Overall recommend for a casual meal of kimbap! read more

One of my favorite snacks/quick bite to eat for lunch is kimbap. When I saw that there was a new kimbap place in Cerritos, I had to go and try it! I ordered via DoorDash the Burdok, Spam, Bulgogi, and House Special kimbap (bulgogi, shrimp tempura with veggies), and Spicy Rice Cake (ddukbokki). My favorite kimbap was the House Special. The others were good but not as memorable. Next time I want to try the Jalapeño (deep fried jalapeño with veggies), Jay Special (unagi, cream cheese, crabmeat - all deep fried), and Carbo Buldak-Bokkeum (carbonara + buldak ramen noodles). read more

We grabbed a variety of Kimbob for our holiday celebration. It included the house special bulgogi and shrimp tempura, eel tempura, fish cake, tuna, spicy Kim chi,and katsu. It was a nice variety and a great spread. There was a lot of filling and the rice layer is thin, which I like. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Kimbap rolls were all 5/5. I especially loved the spam, house special, and kimchi. I did not expect the portion size of one roll to be as big as it was! Definitely could be 2 meals for one order. Each roll comes with the yellow radish. We also got the cheese rice cake with egg. Delicious but standard. This mom and pop store is more so of a take out spot. We called in our order and service was quick. Would love to come back! read more

Kimbap is a dish that I can eat for days and not ever get tired of. I've tried multiple places in the west coast, east coast, and in South Korea. The kimbap here is very fresh and made to order just like my other favorite locations. Price is great for what you get, the kimbap is huge and stuffed with lots of ingredients. I tried the shrimp tempura, fishcake, and bulgogi. The bulgogi was hardest to eat simply because of how big it was. Flavor for all three were pretty good. The shrimp tempura was fresh and they didn't skimp on it. Personally didn't care for the sauce in it but I can see why they would put it in for the shrimp tempura kimbap. I think my favorite was the fish cake overall. They have catering options which is nice and other food items on their menu. I like that they have space for customers to dine in and they offer water/tea. Bathroom is nice and clean. Would definitely come back in the future! read more

This is an unassuming place located in a small strip mall type of location that offers a robust selection of kimbob and other delicious quick meals. I ordered their House Special and Spicy pork filled kimbob along with shrimp tempura. The inside of the shop has counter seats and everything is made fresh on the spot after you order. The meals look small and underwhelming except it's very filling, flavorful, and FRESH. I usually abhor having lettuce inside any of my food as it can get soggy or adds very little to no crunch/ nutritional value. I am glad they included it in my spicy ssam kimbob as it made everything taste more balanced texturally and flavor wise. It also got me full a lot quicker. I could only eat maybe 2 of the house specials and two of the spicy pork ones. So don't let the appearance of those beautifully wrapped up kimbob fool you. They are REALLY filling. I also appreciated the freshly fried shrimp tempura. The dipping sauce was not too sweet and just light enough to add more flavor. I can't wait to try out their other kimbob creations. What a nice spot to get a light but filling meal from. read more

I'm incredibly thankful that this restaurant came through with our catering order. We placed a large request for about 40 gimbap rolls: CALIFORNIA, SPAM, TUNA, and BULGOGI, along with SPICY RICE CAKES and SPICY RICE CAKE AND SAUSAGE SKEWERS. Everything was completed just in time for our event, and the feedback from our guests was overwhelming. The gimbap rolls were a major hit. They were GENEROUS IN SIZE (each about the diameter of a silver dollar), packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. The Spicy Rice Cake & Sausage skewers were truly out of this world, with six to eight layers of sausage and rice cakes brushed with a rich gochujang glaze, PERFECTLY BALANCED and VISUALLY STUNNING. Our guests couldn't stop praising the variety and quality. If you're looking for the best gimbap spot in town, this place absolutely delivers. NO CAP. read more

Their kimbap are huge. I usually get three orders and share with my partner and we always have at least half of one order leftover. Each piece is packed with so much and tastes very fresh. They have so many different varieties of kimbap and you can't really go wrong with any! I especially like the California and eel one. The California one is kind of like a Korean California roll if you will. Each order comes with a small side of pickled radish. Each piece already has a small piece of pickled radish but it's nice to have extra on the side in case you want an extra bite of crunch! I like to call to order and they are quick and usually done within 10-15 minutes. They do have some bar-like seating indoors but I don't often see people dining in so I just take them to-go. read more

Gangnam Kimbob is a relatively new spot, located right next to the Ondo coffee shop, and it is absolutely worth stopping by. I ordered the tonkotsu kimbap, and it was fantastic. The portion was very generous, the vegetables were well seasoned, and the pork tonkotsu was fresh, crispy, and not dry at all. Every bite had great texture and flavor. The interior is simple and set up for quick dining. There are about ten seats, mostly counter-style seating, which works well if you just want to sit down for a fast and satisfying meal. The space is clean and casual, which fits the style of the restaurant. Service was great. The staff offered helpful recommendations, and their suggestions were spot on. I definitely plan to come back and try the other kimbap options, although I might be tempted to just order the tonkotsu again. Overall, a delicious and convenient stop for high quality kimbap. read more

The parking at Gangnam is super rough you will likely need to risk it at the shopping mall next door which in itself is also quite packed. I took some time to review the kimbob here, it was pretty good with many different flavors but I just feel the balance was off with the size of amount of fillings and rice within. The prices here are a touch high so please be prepared and along with being prepared please also note that they apparently make everything fresh so it can take some time to get your order. Overall, not a place I will crave for but in a pinch and if there is parking I may stop in again read more

It was exciting to see a kimbob restaurant because I don't think I've ever seen one outside of the H Mart food courts. They also serve instant noodles with add-ons. We ordered the katsu, house special and bibim kimbob for takeout. They were pretty big and all the fillings were delicious. We look forward to trying more flavors. Some pieces did fall apart so it was hard to eat in the car (we couldn't wait to go home and eat) but very filling and pretty worth it for the price. Theres some chairs inside and the interior of the restaurant is welcoming. The employees were helpful and kind. Looking forward to trying more dishes! read more

Easy spot to pick up all of your Korean casual food asap and especially if you plan on going on a picnic or if ya having a fun lunch date or even a friend date on the go! I really enjoyed their affordable and flavorful bulgogi and katsu KIMBOB along with their spicy pork rice bowl. Oh, if you cost decide which flavor chicken wing, just get both the soy garlic and sweet & spicy. If you like to pre plan, order on the apps. read more

Went on a Sunday around 5:30pm and it wasn't busy! We were able to order and it came out in around 10 minutes! I got the bean curd kimbop and was able to modify it and get it without egg.

Not a lot of seating inside (a bar counter with room for about 4-5 people max). It's more of a grab and go situation, but they will take a few minutes to make your food. I really liked how big these pieces were. One tray was pretty filling for a meal, so I would come back again. Spicy SSam might be different from the regular Ssam. We got the spicy ssam, but it seemed like the meat was pork instead of pork belly (ssam). We got the Spicy Ssam, Tonkatsu, and House Special, but when sharing among friends we all had different favorites so I would say go for filling you like when ordering rather than picking what's most popular. read more

Came here on a Saturday night before a Friendsgiving, parking was tough given it's in a small plaza with a lot of other shops, but I was able to find parking one lot over (about a block). They have a small discount if you order a minimum number of rolls for catering. Very nice small shop with the option of take out or eating in at the window or kitchen-facing bar, had nice music playing. I ordered 6 different kimbop (sesame leaf, tonkatsu, special, bulgolgi, fish cake, and ssam) as well as 6 different yubu (kimchi, corn cheese, cheese, bulgolgi, shrimp/crab, and one I forgot). I imagined it was going to take a while given such a big on the spot order but the nice woman at the register joined her team in the back and made some large, loaded, super fresh, delicious kimbap in no time. It was also so beautifully presented, the small lining of pink paper makes a big difference as it showed me that they care about their products and want to make it nice for a party. I really enjoyed the ssam kimbop and I devoured the corn cheese yubu; the order stayed so fresh throughout the night. Vegetables still gave a good crunch and the seaweed didn't crumble. I would definitely come back here for future parties and just to get more of that wonderful kimbap! This is probably the most variety of kimbap I've ever seen so I appreciate the ability to try new flavors. It was a hit among all 10 of us. I appreciate the ability to order a catering tray the day of, but you can always call ahead and order as well. Thanks Gangnam Kimbob! read more

I love a good kimbop and this place has a variety of it! They have happy hour specials also which is always a plus! We tried their spicy tuna but was a bit surprised to find no hint of spice in the tuna but the jalapeno inside the Kimbop. That threw me off a little. We also got the house special which had bulgogi and tempura. That one was good also. They have a few meal boxes also that I noticed a few ordered. Will have to try that next time read more

I have been ordering food here from time to time. I've seen some menu updates and have tried them out. Most of what I ordered were pretty good and the kimbap size was pretty big, which I'm not complaining about haha. I've brought some to my work for lunch, & share it with my colleagues and for one of their first times trying it, they said it was "really good". One of the kimbap places I recommend going for kimbap and other options, like the fish cake soup & sodduk, I love their sodduk alot, and would usually think of here if I ever think about wanting it. Service is very good, I see they always try their best in any scenario, they are always kind, not over the top, which I prefer, and are polite. I've never dined in before but will consider it sometimes, it looks small but a nice place to just wind down and have food. Again, one of my favorite kimbap places and I recommend it. read more

On our way to lunch, I saw the Kimbob sign... That's when we did a U-Turn and flipped into the parking lot to order a few rolls of kimbap! We took these back to the airport to eat later that evening. The menu was huge, so, we just ordered the special rolls. Jay and Sean rolls. :) Jay - unagi, cream cheese, crab, deep fried with sauces on top. Very creamy, very tasty, and so fun to eat! 5 STARS :| Sean - this was a keto friendly roll with beef, egg omelet and lettuce. The flavors were there, however, it was not a roll when I ate it. It totally fell apart and I had to eat it with chopsticks, more like a beef salad than a roll. Sadly, this was a fail. 2 STARS I give props to their customer service. They use the Five Star reward system, so, I was able to score a few free sodas! That did make me happy. Yea me! read more

Gangnam Kimbob is my personal favorite gimbap in ALL of OC. I tell everyone I know about how amazing this small takeout spot is!

I always order the Bibim (my fave), Tonkatsu, Shrimp, Unagi, and Tuna. They're fresh and made to order and there's a small seating area inside. Lastly, service is always so helpful and friendly!

I've seen this spot all over IG and TikTok, so we're finally trying it tonight! Parking: They're located in a small plaza. Finding a spot is difficult. Highly recommend backing into a spot if you can bc reversing out will be a b--. Ambiance/Environment: It's a small space with very limited indoor seating and no outdoor seating. It's more of a quick service, to-go spot, but we stayed and ate there tho lol. Service: Shout out to Jay and Sean! They were the only workers. They're very patient and courteous. There was a small rush, but they're quick & efficient. Foods: 1) Takoyaki - These are octopus balls. We ordered these as appetizers. They're very rich, and the filling was delicious. 2) Yubu: egg with cheese, crab with shrimp, and bulgogi - These were also delicious! The outside did fall apart easily after biting into it, but the filling was good! The bottom part has rice, and it was topped with the filling. 3) Jay Special Kimbob - My favorite! This was deep fried with unagi, cream cheese, and crabmeat. Highly recommend this! 4) Sean Special Kimbob - Perfect for those on a keto diet. This did not have any rice; just protein & veggies. 5) Tonkatsu Kimbob - Pork cutlet with veggies. The pork was crispppyyy! 6) Bibim Kimbob - Spicy mix of veggies and bulgogi. This wasn't as spicy as I'd thought, but still delicious! I love bulgogi, sooo can't complain. Pricing: Definitely worth its price! Not bad for the amount you get. Their Kimbob is FILLED with ingredients! Yummy! read more
