We stumbled onto K Bap House as we meandered through Congressional Plaza and Congressional North. So we stopped in to the bright, tiny space, and didn't wait long before our orders of jampong and deng jang came out. My bowl of jampong was deep and full of noodles and seafood, savory and spicy. The deng jang was thick and tasty, filled with tofu and zucchini. It's easy to miss this tiny little spot, but it's worth finding for a nice little meal. Give K Bap House a try! read more

Decided to try the kimbap here for lunch one day. Service was really nice. I had a placed a phone order ahead of time and food came out relatively quickly. It's a small restaurant but the owner and staff are all friendly. And a decent amount of people were dining in. read more

K Bap House is a great spot for some simple Korean dishes likes soondobu and bulgogi. The owner is such a nice guy and his passion for the food really shows. They're expanding the menu with soondobu and all kinds of bulgogi, and everything I've tried has been great. The soondobu, chicken bulgogi, and steamed shrimp dumplings are all highly recommended. Service is fast with no wait, and I left already wanting to come back every week. This is exactly the kind of Korean restaurant MoCo needed. I really hope it sticks around. read more

This is a clean and cute quick eats place. We just got a tuna kimbap to go but the inside is very bright and airy. I would say the kimbap is much lighter compared to most traditional ones, but we liked it. Service was great, there was a Korean (I think?) uncle there who greeted us with a big smile, and the other staff was great and offered us water while we waited for our to go order. read more

New and cozy restaurant that serves homemade Korean food! My husband and I were interested in a quick lunch, and we saw that this place was newly opened. The restaurant is small, but has cozy vibes with simple but neat decor. The owner himself is a kindly Korean grandpa and he greeted us and talked to us for a while, he also seems to be the main chef. I started off with the steamed shrimp dumplings which I really enjoyed as they were stuffed with shrimp and had a nice, thin dumpling skin. I also ordered the seafood soondubu tofu soup and my husband ordered the chicken bulgolgi. The soondubu had large chunks of tofu and a diversity of seafood, but maybe it could have had a bit more seafood. My husband also enjoyed his chicken bulgolgi and said it was very juicy and fresh without being too oily. I appreciated the pleasant and friendly service from the owner and I liked that the parking was easy and convenient, we plan to be back soon! read more

(TLDR: All-around YAY in every way! A big 'Woo-hoo!' too! :-D) Exciting new restaurant in Rockville! What a fresh, clean, inviting and open space decorated by someone who clearly has a high aesthetic sensibility .... The hearty portions of food are delicious, served saucily (with sauce on the side) with a smile. Everyone here is so nice! There is plenty of parking nearby, including disability-marked spots and there is also a ramp to get up, with a large door to get in. What's really amazing about this place is how large it feels -- from the outside, it seems so small but once inside, it opens up magically into a world of tasty, healthy meals ... and a selection of frozen desserts one may peruse through the glass door of the freezer case by the counter, where food is ordered before being brought cheerily to one of the four white tables. The chairs, walls, and floor all being white adds to the feeling of increased space where once it was so crowded .... What a transformation, wow! Of course, this particular portion of this review won't apply to anyone who hasn't been in this space before but for those who have, wow! Just wow! It could be said to be very minimalist -- reduced to the absolute essentials ... with a few added extras for maximum yumminess and enjoyment! The framed art on the walls is most especially pleasing to the eye for those who appreciate such things -- and the beautiful-yet-simple, down-to-Earth placemats all come together to create a visually unique and special dining experience -- before the filling food even arrives .... Satiation is achieved in the most satisfying way possible -- for both stomach and eyes ... and also heart! One most special item is the small Korean pancake -- unusual because it's normally only available in a rather large size, so this is very different! It's just one of the things that distinguishes this particular Korean eating spot from other Korean restaurants in the area. This one is more health-focussed, with ... I hesitate to say this (not to dis on other places or the people there!), but the higher level of English available here really does help a lot. There is less room for miscommunication when ordering -- a very important distinction! It is really not fun to find out you've eaten something you specifically said you didn't want to receive, and only figure this out once it's too late! Lessening the chances of that is wonderful! No promises being made here about this but it seems that ordering in Spanish would also be a possibility ... and depending on the day and time, perhaps another language as well. To me, this is ideal and so fun! The food and art are specifically Korean but in some ways, it's more worldly than that ... so you really are stepping into another world when you come here! (Or rolling, of course, if that's how you arrive.) K Bap Express did take a bit of time to open -- but it's totally been worth the wait! The selection, kindness, and heart-expanding décor together provide room for a much-needed rest in many ways .... The visual interest so very well tended-to gives the eyes a way to eat and be nourished, as well .... There is something for every part of a patron to love! The presentation of the food is delightful, so you can soak it in before indulging ... and leave filled with nutrition for your stomach, eyes, heart, and soul .... Apologies if I have gushed repetitively about certain stand-out virtues of this place! It's just so deserving, I haven't been able to help myself! I hope you try it and love it as much as I do! read more

Each dish that we ordered was oily and bland, without sauces or spices. It was all pretty bad

"Easily one of the best casual Korean takeout spots in town. Tucked away on Congressional Lane, K Bap House delivers legit, homestyle flavor. The kimbap rolls are tightly rolled, fresh, and not heavy on rice--you actually get a great ratio of fillings. The beef bulgogi bowl has that perfect savory-sweet char and tender meat without being greasy, and the sides hit the mark. Clean space, quick turnaround, and kind staff. Incredible, thoughtful hospitality--the owner came out personally, showed genuine care for my family, and made our visit feel truly special. A must-visit if you're anywhere near Rockville Pike. read more

From my youngest son: I thought nothing of it coming into the restaurant, but once we ordered and got our food I was blown away! The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the food, overall is amazing! The feeling that the restaurant gave me when I walked in is warm and cozy. Afterwards of my meal, the owner came by and asked if I wanted dessert, on them! Overall this is the perfect place to go for a relaxing meal and a laidback day, read more

Best bulgogi and bipinbap in Rockville!!! This place is in a terrible location for a business, go find them and support them!!!

Wanted to find a quick bite to eat while out with family and stumbled across this Mom and Pop shop. Needless to say, it did not disappoint and it fulfilled my craving for Korean food. The owner was also very kind and friendly -- he even offered us free ice cream at the end of our meal. Would visit again for sure! read more

I just walked out of K bap & immediately sat in the car to review. It was clean on the inside & I was greeted with such pleasantry. The service was just as good as the food. I ordered the beef bulgogi which was very good & for the price I can eat from the portion twice. At first I was going to eat in the car, but as I waited, they offered me water & soup. Which was very kind of them. I can say that I was satisfied & if I ever get a taste for bulgogi & I'm working in Rockville. I will visit K Bap again! read more

My wife and I stopped in with our 1 year old for a quick bite. We ordered the bulgogi and kimchi gimbap along with the steamed shrimp dumplings. They brought out soy sauce and a gochujang style sauce too. Everything tasted great and hit the spot. The staff and management were friendly and actually seemed to care. The place was clean, and you can tell they put real thought into how the space looks and feels. They mentioned they will be expanding the menu soon, which is good news. We will be back. read more

Very enjoyable, healthy and tasty take out lunch. I ordered the bulgolgi bibimbap, classic kimbap, and the chapchae noodles. The vegetables were very fresh and the bulgolgi was seasoned well, enough to compensate for the slight underseasoning in the other dishes - but not a huge deal for me and my family who don't like when food is overly salty. Portions were decent. Would like to also see options to add protein or mushrooms to the chapchae. I'll also need to remember next time to ask for gochujang sauce with the bibimbap since my order didn't come with any. But I will return! read more

Wonderful hospitality! Very sweet and welcoming. My mother and I came to have lunch and staff was wonderful and kind. Food was very fresh and made to order. The space is small, but clean and organized. It has about 5 tables that seat 4 each. If you want a calm and fresh place to eat this would be it. I would return when I come back into town. read more
