K Bop Box deserves credit for bringing good different food to Apollo Beach. We've ordered several dinner and one lunch carryout. We like the pork & beef fried dumplings much more than the heavily breaded chicken wings. The beef bulgogi is incredible, but the spicy pork was too fatty and tough. The entrees include a bento box style of multiple sides, which makes a good value. Already I hear folks labeling it as expensive. The location is the proverbial hole in the wall, in a very old shopping center. Parking near the door is a challenge. Most spots seem to be taken by the same cars at each visit. Orders have never been ready when they've included chicken wings. It's been hard to place orders over the phone. If the lady in the store stays on speaker phone, it's very hard to hear her. I must tell her several times I can't hear her so she will pick up the phone. I've also discovered that even though I had ordered at lunch time, I did not receive the lunch price nor the included fountain drink. Menu misspellings such as meet rather than meat and on-line malfunctions that cover most entrees with a reservation box that is not used. Prices on the menu have increased recently which fixed some stupid pricing. The last time I ordered, 2 orders of 4 chicken wings were slightly cheaper than 1 order of 8 chicken wings. read more

There's not many places that have Korean food in the area. The BEST Kim-bop that I've had since moving out here. It's always made fresh and all the flavors together create something so delicious to the bite. Absolutely my favorite and go to place whenever I am craving some Kim-bop. Their customer service is also wonderful and they always greet you with a smile. Great customer service and food read more

Small clean place. I ordered the spick pork lunchbox with a veggie kimpop. The amount of pork they give you in my opinion is small. they should give more if your going to charge $16.99 for a lunchbox. The veggie kimpop was $6.99. Overall the food taste good. Just feel the prices are little pricey. Total for lunch $25. read more

The owner was very nice, she said this restaurant has been in Apollo Beach, FL for 6 months. It is a nice spot, small but cozy. The yakimundu was real good. The Dolsot bibimbop was in a hot stone bowl. All of the food was fresh and hot. The kimchi was ok but they were out of the cucumbers which we would have liked to have tried. The bulgogi was missing the green onions which we normally get at other Korean restaurants to include it did not have the sweet soy sauce and ginger taste that we are used to. We wish this restaurant the best. read more

Your life will be changed when you try the quality in the food at K Bop Box. I've never quite had any Korean food like it, ever! I was very happy to see they had several vegetarian options. I tried the Veggie Dumpling Ramyun soup which is a savory noodle dish with curvy ramen soup style noodles. The flavorful complexity of the noodle dish's profile was unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life and I was so pleased with the innovation of the cheese add-on I requested. The veggie kimbop (think Korean sushi roll) was so tasty and fresh. I appreciated how the owner gave me a garlicky gochujang sauce to pour over the kimbop. I'm a sauce person when it comes to enhancing dishes and the bibimbop sauce, as she called it, made the kimbop exponentially better! To finish off the unforgettable experience, I tried their Ho Ttuck dessert. Imagine the Cinnabon company originated in Korea and this is exactly what you'll get! The Ho Ttuck looks like a Venezuelan arepa and inside it has a blend of cinnamon brown sugar paste. Adding walnuts is optional and highly recommended! I paired my kimbop and ramyun soup with an off-dry Italian Pinot Grigio. The refreshing quality of the northern Italy Pinot Grigio I had, gave a refreshing balance to the food and drink pairing. I tried the Ho Ttuck with a vanilla cinnamon Chickpea mylk I had chilling in the fridge and was very happy with that pairing as well. I can definitely see the Ho Ttuck being topped off with your favorite ice cream at home. Now a days, i go out to eat a lot but not reviewing businesses necessarily, just being lazy. Yet this establishment and the impression it left on me motivated me to do so immediately after trying my takeout meal. They are closed Mondays. read more

Korean food in Apollo Beach? Yep! And it is really good! I've never been to the restaurant. I can't talk about the ambiance or the service, other than to say my Uber Eats deliveries are generally on time, food is hot, and tasty! read more

I found this restaurant by chance and I'm so happy I did. The restaurant is very clean , the environment is extremely welcoming , and the staff greeted me with a smile. The food was amazing! Extremely flavorful I ordered the spicy pork lunch box as well as the spicy chicken lunch box and the spicy beef bulgogi kimbap. At first I didn't think it was spicy but over time the more I ate I felt it! The spicyness didn't overpower the food at all! It was the perfect balance. The lunch box option was the perfect amount. I didn't finish it all in one sitting I had to take some home! As for drinks definitely try the sparkling watermelon soda. It's very good! Another thing I loved was the staff explained each item and gave recommendations. Overall great experience will be coming back again! read more

If you're living in Apollo Beach/Riverview, this is the best Korean restaurant around! The service is amazing and you feel so welcoming. The food is super delicious! High recommend their black beans noodle or their galbi beef! Make sure you end your meal with their dessert call Ho Ttuck. It's a fluffy pastry with cinnamon in the middle, to die for. And the restaurant has a few tables and atmosphere there feels like home. read more

The best Korean fried chicken in all of the Tampa Bay Area. This alone will make me come back. Ask for the sauce on the side to see how perfectly crispy the fried chicken is We also tried the bulgogi which came with banchan and everything tasted authentic and homey. A hidden gem in Apollo beach for sure. read more

Very low Quality food, possibly unsanitary kitchen. Would not go there again. Upset my stomach.

Phenomenal. Best Korean food in Florida by far. I cannot believe how great the spice is on all the foods.

Fresh and deliciouswe tried this place after it was recommended to us. The pork dumplings are the best we have tried in Tampa. We ordered the bulgogi beef dish is a must. You get rice, kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled cucumber. Simply awesome Everyone must try the red bean bingsoo dessert. So refreshing you will love it. You will want to order it every time. We will be back. read more

Omg! I had the black bean paste noodle with pork!! Omg was to die for. I wish the pork was more fatty/crispy But was the best I ever had!! I will drive from clearwater again. Also ordered beef b'gogi-- so tender. Don't remember lettuce to make wrap The resturant smells a bit funky, but don't matter-- the black bean needles will transport you to your childhood We saw the owner lady? Two young girls took our order and brought food Nothing to complain about, can't wait to go back. When u go it's the proverbial hold in the wall store front in a tiny cheap strip mall. So look closely for it! Again the point of this review was the food- awsome and the bean paste needles to die for. Next time I want Japche, hope it will be on menu, or nice med owner will make it for me Bob Again, the point read more
