    Inside Kimbap
    Ann T.

    Love the Source's food court and the fact that they have 2 different food courts on different floors. I've actually gone to this Jaws Topokki location before a closer one opened in Haven City market for me, but they're both solid locations and Jaws is a solid Korean franchise for getting kimbap and topokki among other things. Since it's in a food court, you just order, at the counter, they give you a buzzer, and when your food is ready, you can grab it to go. Love the marketing they have for Jaws. Cute puns and shark theme. I didn't get to take a picture of it, but they gave us a red plastic shark fin to help tear apart any of the packaging and boxes. Good stuff and useful too. Can definitely use it as a weaker letter opener later on. For our quick meal that day since we had plans later, we got spam kimbap which was loaded with all of the fixings (carrot egg, cucumber, radish, etc) and had a strong delicious sesame taste to it, definitely dip it into your topokki sauce for more flavor, their rose topokki with cheese (rich and spicy but not too hot and the added creaminess made it delicious, comes with topokki with the perfect texture, fish cakes, and much more), solid for the price, tempura, also great while dipping in the topokki sauce, and blood sausage, which is just okay to me, but a big hit with everyone else. We ordered a set meal, so keep that in mind if you want to save some money and bundle up your meal. A solid choice for if you're at The Source food court.

    Jaws is a good reliable place to grab a casual, affordable lunch. It is located in the third floor food court at The Source. I would argue that it's one of the better places to eat at The Source. The kimbap and tteokbokki are decent. I really like the sikhye slush. Refreshing, icy, and delicious rice flavor. Service is quick.

    Jaws Topokki's L-pop demon hunters panel got our attention. Their topokki menu was intriguing as I am only used to having rice cake in topokki. We ordered spicy topokki and beef gimbap. Both were delicious. As topokki has a lot of ingredients, it was more interesting but even if we shared both dishes, I did get a bit bored by the mochi texture as it didn't absorb the flavors like noodles. Really still feel like this dish was worth trying. Tips - if you can eat a piece of gimbap in one bite so it won't fall apart. This happens with Japanese futomaki too but it just goes all over the place. Since they flavor gimbap with sesame oil, it is nice we didn't need to dip it in soy sauce. The food court's tables are a bit worn out. The chairs are fine. If the weather is nice, it might be better to eat out in the patio as the atmosphere is nicer there. Restrooms are so close and the parking was free. Overall our quick visit was pleasant and would love to come back to this food court or this mall in general!

    Tried Jaws Toppoki through Uber Eats and was honestly surprised by how good it was. Their rose tteokbokki had the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. It was not too spicy, which I appreciate since my spice tolerance is pretty low. Loved the addition of the egg and fish cake too. We also ordered a side of tempura, and the batter was nice and crisp. My husband got the blood sausage and said it was good (I didn't try it since I don't eat that), but he enjoyed it. Overall, really solid delivery food.

    Regular spice level tteokbokki and tofu kimbap. Surprised at how spicy regular was, glad we didn't do the hottest one (which we almost did)

    Haven't had jaws since the pandemic. Kind of forgot about it, but decided to grab tteokbokki for lunch. Ordered a large, regular spicy tteokbokki and a side of tofu kimbap. Since we came on a weekday, there was no line. The food still took 15ish minutes to come out. I was so hungry! When the food finally came out, I was happy with the portion and flavor. Everything tasted fresh, making the wait worthwhile. Not sure if I'm just getting old, but the regular spicy was really spicy for me. It was still so so good, but I may have to tone it down to mild next time. I'll probably come back again on a weekday, as I've already seen how long the lines get on the weekends.

    This is located in the food court upstairs at the source. They only do to-go orders so our food came in boxes but we just sat at a table in the food court to eat Spicy rice cakes, mild: 5/5. I liked this a lot. I think it already says this on the menu but definitely expect a bit of spice with this even though it's mild. My friend is bad with spice and barely ate this Bulgogi kimpbap: 4/5. I liked this but didn't think it was anything crazy. I did like that there wasn't too much rice though

    Brian K.

    Just had the bulgogi kimpap, but it was pretty good and I'd get it again. Veggies were crispy and the bulgogi had a good sauce. It came out quick but was probably more expensive than I had expected. The whole eating experience was nice and clean, definitely would recommend it.

    Soondae
    Allan Y.

    Finding truly great tteokbokki in oc/la is surprisingly difficult, even though we're living in one of the meccas of Korean cuisine. Jaws Topokki has quickly become my go-to spot for takeout tteokbokki. I ordered the combo, which comes with soondae and fried tempura. The soondae was bomb. It tasted just as good as what you'd get at the best soondae spots in LA. The tteokbokki was also very solid. I went with medium spice, and it was genuinely very spicy, so definitely be careful with the spice levels if you're sensitive to heat. The food was ready on time with good packaging. Regarding portion size, I've seen mixed reviews, but I thought the portions were generously big, easily enough for two people to share.

    Who doesn't love topokki and bibimbap? Love all dishes on the menu. I had: 1. Jawsome Set (Jaws Topokki, Korean Sausage, Deep Fried L, Fish Cake Soup) 2. Bulgogi Gimbap 3. Spicy Pork Wrap Gimbap

    Bulgogi Gimbap
    Rachel M.

    My gimbaps were good! I usually like Japanese sushi rolls better than the Korean ones but these were made well and had crunchy textures and pickled flavors. Situated in the Source's 4th floor food court, it's a pretty busy Korean eatery and they have some good deals for set meals with soups, tempura, and gimbaps. Prices are pretty affordable also - my shrimp tempura gimbap was $10. It's open seating cafeteria style and there are several tables inside and outside. For a quick tasty Korean meal, this is a solid place!

    Rose topokki (spicy) Signature gimbap
    May W.

    Located on the third floor food court. Rose topokki (spicy): Sauce is more on the watery side. Plenty of topokki, fish cake. It's pretty big dish even though the to go size looks small. I would estimate to share with friends because there is a generous amount of topokki. Signature gimbap: Pretty standard gimbap. I like how the roll is intact with the amount of rice that's in the roll. There's a good amount of toppings distributed in the roll.

    The portions were large! Split the food amongst 4 people and each of was satisfied Rose Topokki Soup/로제 국물떡볶이 with added fish cake was creamy and also had dumplings in it - delicious. Gimbap Bento Box 바르다 김선생 도시락 (One free Bottle Water) had a great variety of items- Tuna Gimbap, salad, fishcakes, kimchi, bulgogi, sweet potato Finally the fish Assorted Fish Cake Soup/ 모듬 어묵탕 haddifferent types of fishcake. The clear broth had a little spice to it we enjoyed the food!

    Bareun Gimbap
    Christie N.

    We were walking around the busy food court and stopped by for a quick snack. The Bareun Gimbap was their signature and I have to say, the ingredients were fresh! And the pieces were pretty big and filling. After paying, they give you a ringer and it did take a long time for our order to be ready. When we checked up on it, it was just sitting on the counter lol but other than that there's so many good places at The Source and I would come back to try their other items.

    No it takes them a while to close and clean the kitchen because they sanitize the whole store every single night to prepare for the next day

They offer valet parking at the entrance, along with additional parking around the corner. Since this place gets very busy, I'd recommend arriving early to avoid a long wait. This is a great spot for large groups and celebrations.

Despite the packed dining room, the service was quick and attentive. Our food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept everything running smoothly throughout our meal.

And their hands go inside everything. They grab the rinsed pitcher, scoop the tea water and serve it. Also mind you, the tea water is inside those huge trash cans.

Me and my friends watched the whole thing while we were just trying to enjoy some drinks at the bar. It was so disgusting, my friends wanted to pay and leave quickly but NO theres no way im paying for the drink i only had a couple sips of and couldn't finish. So i told the manager, didnt pay and left. He was not shocked ... wonder why. And now im just telling all my close friends not to go here... digusting.

I love that you order off their kiosk which is conveniently located at the table already. The staff was quick to bring out the banchan. To start, we shared their leek pancake and pork blood sausage. For my lunch I went with their cold noodles since it was a cold day. The people I came with had some pork spare ribs, which came with rice and bone knee soup. And a bibimbap. The leek pancake was the best thing there. The pork blood sausage was more of rice noodles rolled up with pork blood flavored. I can't imagine it being much portion. Eveything else was bland which we all agreed to. For my cold noodles I added plenty of vinegar and mustard but it was not it. Still lacked flavor. Also it only had half a boiled egg and two verythin slices of beef. The pork was over cooked, dry, and lacked flavor. The bibimbap was also bland even with their red sauce. We we were all disappointed. The pricing is affordable. The staff was nice and quick. They made sure to check up on us. Parking here is a tough even though it was a weekday. Their lot was full and you can park next door but by the dental office but that was also full. We waited a little and eventually found parking. The restaurant is very casual, clean and spacious. This was just really meh to me.
