What a cute little mom and pop gimbap shop. We popped in here for a quick bite to eat after doing some shopping at the Sports Basement in the same plaza since we were craving Korean food. The young man at the front was super helpful in giving us some recommendations on what was vegetarian and what could be adjusted to be vegetarian. He was super informative. We wound up getting a vegetarian bibimbap, vegetarian gimbap, and one original flavor. Food came out super quick and you could tell from the crispness of the veggies that everything was super fresh. We loved the refreshing flavors and the huge portions. If we are in the area again we will be back! read more

I've not been here for a while and one thing impressed me the most was the server, a teenager who speaks both English and Korean. I ordered the bipmimbab, the portion was huge but I didn't like the beef, it was mince instead of slices. The server was very attentive and I saw him patiently answering customers questions about the food and he kept checking on them if they have allergies. Before we walked out of the restaurant, he bowed straight 90 degrees and said Thank you!!! read more

K-BOB - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Always support a mom n pop shop! The food is good and business is small. Perfect place to meet with someone and have a conversation that isn't as bustling with noise like a cafe. Ample parking. Also a couple outdoor tables to use on a nice day. Kiosk for ordering food was very user friendly. Service was friendly and fast. read more

K-BOB - 4 types of tofu bags... all delicious. - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

The kimbap here is generously portioned. I ordered the spicy beef one and loved that the filling was equally balanced with meat, burdock root, carrots, and egg. Knocked a star off since I was expecting it to have a spicy kick, but the kimbap itself was a bit on the sweet side. I would've loved more dipping sauce options since I was not a fan of the mayo-heavy wasabi one that was given. Overall, a solid spot and I'll be back again! read more

K-BOB - triangles - tuna with pickled jalapeño and a spicy tuna - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

We have been back multiple times since, never a bad experience. Still the best and so worth the price. Things are made fresh, the kimbap is amazing. Shocked spicy tuna could be this good from a little Korean spot. We saw a big group in there get a feast of different kinds of kimbap and tons of other menu items and it looked like a fun way do it. The service is always fast, kind staff. We have yet to order something we don't like. Small place, a handful of seats inside and tables outside. read more

This small restaurant was the perfect place for a casual lunch. It's located in the same area as the Sports Basement. Parking is very easy in the shared lot. They have some indoor and outdoor seating, but it's probably better as a takeout spot. Ordering is through a panel on the left side once you enter. Food takes a little while to get to you, but it is all made fresh. I got the Bibim Bob ($19). This came beautifully plated, and all of the veggies were cut to exactly the right size. The flavors were pretty well balanced, not too sweet, not too salty, and not too spicy. Portion size was pretty good and I had a little bit to take home. Note: the bottom is not crunchy rice. DH got the Hwae Dup Bob ($22) and really enjoyed it too. This dish is basically like poke on top of a bunch of salad greens and various finally shredded vegetables. It is eaten with a delicious Korean chili sauce. There is an option to order it with salmon only instead of mixed fish. I wished this had slightly more seasoning, like maybe a bit of sesame oil and raw garlic to give it some zing. Miso soup was included in these two orders, and it was excellent. Served hot and nice strong flavors. The people we interacted with were very friendly and nice. We would love to go back someday to try some of their Kim Bob, Korean rice rolls. read more

Quick, casual, and inexpensive. You can order online and eat in person if you change your mind about wanting to take it to go. The service here is great, the staff are all very kind. The kimbap rolls are THICK and the wasabi mayo it comes with compliments it very well. I would definitely return in the future for a quick bite. read more

Delicious food and rice rolls. Clean environment with friendly service and staff. Cozy little restaurant.

I decided to stop by with my friend since we were in the area for the afternoon. I had this bookmarked for a while now since I love kimbaps! The store is cute and small with limited seating inside. There are also tables outside as well! My friend and I tried the LOR and beef kimbap. Both were tasty but my favorite was the LOR. The beef kimbap was more on the dry side :( I've also tried the triangles and it was yummy! Would definitely come back to try the other kimbaps and yubus! Staff is very friendly too read more

I love K-BOB! I've been twice and will probably be back again soon. They have an assortment of kimbap rolls, yubu chobap, and triangle kimbap. We've tried some of each and enjoyed them all. I love how they stuff their rolls and the ratio of rice to filling is perfect. They're also arranged and rolled so precisely which makes for a pretty cross section. It's a small shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were friendly and offered cold water to everyone. I will definitely be back to support! read more

K-BOB - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

I can see that they put extra effort in each ingredients, fresh and well presented. I'm obsessed with their Bibimbap - their portion was huge and I literally devoured it in 20 min! Bulgogi beef was marinated with their house made special sauce and it comes with a plenty of vegetables to balance out your nutrition. I tried my husband's fish over rice - spicy, savory, slightly sweet, and crunchy. It's a Korean twist of Japanese fish over rice, which I think is a healthier alternative to poke (lower in fat and more dietary fiber). Plus they come with a small bowl of miso soup! read more

K-BOB - Beef Onigiri, Caterpillar Yubu, Beef Kimbap - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

A hole in the wall in the half empty Sports Basement, K-BOB boasts a quiet, peaceful patio This is the sort of spot that I don't want to leave a 5 star for out of selfishness to keep the secret to myself... but, K-BOB deserves the recognition. The owners (who run the restaurant) are so authentic and sweet, the service feels homey. I ordered at the counter and sat outside on their quiet patio to wait. I ordered: - miso soup (5/5) - spicy beef kimbap (5/5) Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion was perfect for one. This is a great spot for a quick and healthy bite! read more

My first time here. My friend told me about K-Bob because one day we were talking about places to go for Gimbap, which is a like a Korean style sushi. Being that I'm Korean, I know my Kimbap well. Grew up eating it all my life. So I was in the area and thought I'd give K-Bob a try. Overall it was just okay for me and I thought it was way over priced for what you get. I can understand that their Gimbap's are more on the not your traditional side of Korean Gimbap's. They were good but not worth the price you pay IMO. Would I go back? Probably not unfortunately. For those who don't know Gimbap or aren't familiar with true traditional Gimbap, you may think it's worth the price and enjoy the overall flavor and taste but for me, it was just okay. I'd rather spend about half the price and have truly traditional Korean Kimbap. $16-$18 a roll seems just a bit too much for what you get. Just my opinion. read more

Our group decided to try out K-BOB after hiking around Dublin/San Ramon area and it was a fantastic post-hike lunch! It's just so conveniently located in the plaza with Sports Basement too, so we hit up Sports Basement right after. There's plenty of parking available. There's tables available both indoor and outdoors, and you're free to sit wherever you wish as long as it's open. It was our first time here and the employee who helped us out had a whole bunch of great recommendations. His enthusiasm played a major part in our food choices. Between three of us, we shared 1) Spicy Beef Kim-Bob, 2) Edamame, 3) 2 Yubu Sets, and 4) Fried Shrimp Triangle. The Yubu Sets come with a free side of Miso soup as long as you order 4 or more pieces. Food came quickly, and I think because they're a small local restaurant with few workers, most of their utensils and stuff were the one-time use disposable items. The guy that took our order and served us provided great service and commentary though! The Spicy Beef Kim-Bob turned out not that spicy at all, but I love how much ingredients they packed into the roll. Ratio between ingredients and rice is fantastic (at least the way I like it, haha). They packed and rolled up the kimbaps pretty tightly so that even when we're eating it, it didn't fall apart. The Yubu set, in my humble opinion, was the best though. I love inari, but I love it even more when it's packed with goods and I have not had some that were packed so well! My partner and I shared the Beef, Caterpillar, Spicy Crunchy, and Salmon. Of the four, I would have to say I liked Caterpillar the most, probably because of the creaminess from the avocado and the tobiko adds a bit of a fun element to it. My partner really liked the Beef Yubu though. It's flavored well and satisfying. As for the edamame, not much I can say about it other than it's cooked perfectly. Not too soft and still had a tad crunchiness to it! Lastly, the Fried Shrimp Triangle. I don't think we were gonna get one intially, but the worker recommended it and my partner really wanted to give it a try while we were here. I have to say, whoever is the chef behind making these, they're great. The Triangle was packed tight so it held together well, and they even put it in the little onigiri plastic wraps so you can open it like one! The shrimp paste inside was indeed crispy like the worker described. I'm glad I took a bite out of it even though I didn't really want it in the first place. Our friends really enjoyed their meal as well! I definitely recommend this place for people looking for something satisfying and if they're pressed for time, this is a great option as well. I'd probably opt to get takeout here sometime as well since the food here is pretty takeout-friendly! read more

Yumm! Ask for an extra sauce. I have never tried these rolls before. They were tasty with well balanced macros. They had spicy beef, carrots, cucumber, egg, and pickled veggies all wrapped into rice and seaweed. There was a slightly sweet flavor, almost like bulgogi. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. If you like Korean and Japanese food, you will enjoy these. Very kind service and casual, well kept interior. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Fair prices as well, it was $13 for the 10 piece meal read more

K-BOB - Kimbap and onigiri - Korean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Got two kimbab to go. Because a friend does not like spicy food so I opted for non-spicy kimbab. The beef one was simple but delicious. It had a green sauce to pair and worked out nicely. The other kimbab was the LOR (lord of the rolls) as it had salmon, imitation crab meat, fried shrimp and avocado. It sounded great but in reality, it was too much going on for me. Still tasted great but I'd prefer the beef kimbab. The simplicity of the beef kimbab was just unmatched. There were some "triangles" on the menu, but I was not very interested. I want to go back and try other kimbab though. read more

Amazing amazing and amazing!!! The nice lady who works here (we believe is the owner) is supppppeeerrrr friendly! All the stuff we ordered was super fresh!! The food here is made with passion and love. There's this feeling of care that you can tell she put into the food. We let her know it was our first time and she was very kind about it. She recommended us the specials and what was ordered a lot. We went with her suggestions and probably ordered more with our eyes. Each bite was packed with fresh flavor that we haven't experienced in a while. The order did take awhile which validated the freshly made food. It's a small location that is closed on Sundays so make sure to try this location out. It's delicious!!! read more

Very friendly staff and the food is really good, makes me wish I lived closer. Kimchi triangle was delicious and fresh so was my veggie kimbap roll. At register was recommended this rice soda and im glad I got it, great after meal dessert read more

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the person at the register. He was very friendly and asked if it was my first time there. It was. He gave me suggestions on what to order. I ended up ordering the Korean Roll: "K7_LOR (LORD of the Roll)." It was good! Generous portion. I couldn't finish it all and took home the leftovers. It came with two sauces - Wasabi Mayo, and Unagi Sauce. Both sauces were good, but I preferred the Unagi Sauce more. I would come back and try other things on the menu. read more

A hidden gem in San Ramon! I was craving kimbap and didn't think a place has surprised me like this in a while. I've ordered to-go as well as dined in and I would say ordering ahead of time is the way to go - if you find a seat inside, you can always sit down after picking up your food. The inside is small and the wait can be a bit long because everything is made to order. What I've ordered and recommend: - Beef & Spicy Beef Kimbap - Tuna (a surprising favorite!) Kimbap - Crunchy Kimbap - LOR Kimbap - Caterpillar Yubu - Spicy/Crunchy Yubu - Salmon Yubu All the kimbaps and yubus were S T U F F E D. Very well made and such a good rice to filling ratio. The lady taking orders was super nice. I would say that these kimbaps are on the pricier end BUT they do have a lot of filling! read more

Came here on a Monday for lunch take-out. It's a small shop with limited seating, but I think most people take away anyway. There's a touch screen to order from, which is nice because it has pictures. We ordered the original kimbap, which came with a delicious sauce. The size of each roll slice is huge, and I appreciate how much veg there is inside to give a nice crunch. The onigiri were also very flavorful. We got the spicy beef, fried shrimp, and spicy tuna triangles. The meal came out fairly quickly, and the auntie working the shop was very kind! All in all a delicious meal. Will definitely be back to try more from their menu! read more

I would recommend ordering ahead of time if you are on a time schedule. I came here during my lunch break and had to wait quite a bit before my order was ready. This spot is very small, good for takeout. I ordered a spicy tuna rice roll and the fried shrimp rice roll. The spicy tuna rice roll was lacking flavor, it was a little bland. The shrimp roll solid, very favorable! read more

I was in the area and feeling hungry, so I checked Yelp to see what was nearby and came across this spot. I decided to try the bibimbap, and it did not disappoint! It came with a generous portion of beef, fresh veggies, and a flavorful sauce that tied everything together perfectly. I also ordered the LOR and Spicy Crunchy kimbab to go for my hubby, and he loved them. They didn't skimp on ingredients, and the rolls had a perfect balance of flavors that made them delicious. I also appreciated how thoughtfully they packed the sauces in separate containers inside a small plastic bag. I'm so glad I found this gem and will definitely be back whenever I'm craving KBob! read more

We saw this place on a Yelp advertisement about outdoor seating. Being close to us, we had to try K-Bob out. The restaurant was a nice find. It's a small business that may be family run.! The staff was helpful and accommodated our requests. The Poke over rice was excellent. The staff upgraded the salmon with Ahi for a small fee. The Pole has a large ingredient list that contains: Imitation crab meat, cucumber, seaweed salad, corn, avocado, edamame, green beans, spring mix, lettuce and tobico. We also liked the Kim-Bon that contains: original Ham, imitation crab meat, egg, burdock, cucumber, carrot and pickled radish. Presentation and taste was excellent. Orders are taken via Kiosk or in person. They have a nice online order process for takeout that I found by clicking on the QR code. I started ordering from QR code until we found out it said "takeout". They might consider putting QR codes on the table with a number:-) Presentation was interesting: it came wrapped in nice cellophane without a plate. The staff told us they made all items at the restaurant. Food is prepared and wrapped for the day. All food was presented on disposable plastic and paper possibly to minimize dish washing cost and space. We strongly recommend you give K-Bob a try. read more

We had a very nice late lunch there. DD had bibimbap - it was delicious and full of fresh gorgeous vegetables. I had two of the yubus - spicy crunchy and salmon. Both were wrapped in football wrappers. The salmon football wrappers had a sweetness redolent of lime popsicle that I wasn't sure I liked or not but overall, I enjoyed the meal very much. No restrooms, though. The seaweed salad was good, too. The bibimbap was beautiful and lasted at least 2 1/2 meals! Service was fast and very very sweet. The outdoor dining spot was really nice and it was fun to watch all the pedestrian traffic. read more

Today was our first time at K-Bob and we were greeted by the friendliest woman. She handed us a menu and told us which items were most popular.

He was so nice and thoroughly explained how to unwrap the triangle.Everything was absolutely delicious! The service and food at K-Bob is the best! read more

This place is awesome! This is our 3rd visit. Our 1st and 2nd visits were on the same day, this is how much we liked it. We visited here after a recent trip to Japan and the food reminded us of the food we had In Japan. We ordered BIBIM BOB from their over rice menu, tried few of their YUBU, the Veggie, beef, caterpillar, spicy crunchy. Loved all, especially the beef and caterpillar. We also tried their triangles, spicy beef, mayo tuna, fried shrimp and kimchi. All were great. Hope this restaurant thrives and hope we can keep it in San Ramon read more

GET YOUR KIMBAP FIX HERE! Small little shop nestled in the plaza. Cute, and clean. Ordering was through the kiosk. Was easy to maneuver through and omit ingredients on there. Ordered 2 beef kimbaps - $28. A little pricey. Kimbap came out beautifully wrapped and fully loaded. Taste was pretty good. Some might say more rice needed, but also makes a good keto meal. A little tricky to eat since it was so big. It's either stuff the whole in your mouth or bite it and be messy. Have it your way. Overall, good kimbap. Service was minimal but sweet, kind and respectful. Will def come back. read more

We've tried many of their dishes and items here. It is all very tasty. My husband absolutely loves this place and could probably eat here every day. Their bibim bob is so 'ono. I say that it's pretty much banchans over rice. Their yubu is good too. The only downside is that their hours are somewhat limited. We went there on Friday at 10:35 am thinking they open at 11 am. We walked around Sports Basement and went to Learning Express to "kill time". When we returned at 11:10; they were still closed. We didn't realize that they open at 11:30. The hubz had to go to work so we drove across the street and ate at Papaya Grill instead. Also, they close for a couple of hours between lunch and dinner too. I'm glad that there is a Korean restaurant in San Ramon, so we'll continue to support this mom and pop business. read more
