We're not even from the area but every time we venture into Illinois, we make sure to stop here. Amazing food and the staff is always super kind and I love all of the paintings on the walls. read more

Fresh authentic food , excellent taste , fun selection . Visited multiple times . Great way to explore Korean street food

I dropped in for kimbop but K-bop is so much more. There's bibim-bop, k-bop, burri- bop and other dishes, the possibilities don't stop! It was a little confusing, the order process, during my stop. The bulgogi was a little dry in the kimbop although the pork belly kimbop was tip-top. The filling of pickles and veggies made a colorful photo opp. I'll return to try some other dishes next time. read more

Walked in there and nobody was at the counter I literally had to yell anyone here and lady in mid to upper twenties with tattoo on her neck had an attitude problem as she came to the counter and when I got my order the soup was only half full and it was on its side and when I mentioned it she raised her voice Wish I could give 0 stars, will not be spending my hard earned money here anymore read more

The food is pretty good. The wide variety of kimbop offerings is impressive. The server, the young lady, who took my order was unfriendly, disinterested, gave off strong impression that she didn't want to be there. I had a question about a menu item, specifically about how a particular sauce tasted like. She looked at me with an annoyed expression and told me it tastes like how it tastes, that i either know that flavor or not.... What?!?! What a lazy response. She could have said it was spicy, salty, sweet, etc. Anyway, I didn't want to annoy her any more, so I didn't press any further. The food is pretty good here. But the service.... pretty unappetizing. read more

A solid in-hotel, take-out Korean meal while in Glenview, IL. The business is slowly expanding beyond its small community here and opening up more restaurants, and supporting this business while in town felt just right! When looking for places to eat out at, this description on their website had pulled us in: WE STARTED K-BOP TO SHARE STORIES THROUGH THE LENS OF KOREAN STREET FOOD. Currently, there are so many great things coming out of Korea that inspire change or simply bring joy to our lives. During the 2021 pandemic, we started K-Bop in the Chicago suburb to keep sharing our greatness. K-KIMBOP: The rolls were thicccck. It honestly was a perfect selection of veggies inside with a kick of chili seasoning and soy sauce to dip into. You get more than you ask for with this roll! TOFU KIMCHI K-BOP: The meal that makes this place special. The business started making these deconstructed kimbop bowls, calling them 'k-bop' bowls. You also get a full serving of this meal and we ended up really craving a second bowl!! Aesthetics, service, the purpose of this business, and the meal altogether really made this place shine and 1110000% a hole-in-the-wall spot in Glenview, IL! read more

The menu can be slightly confusing here but once you figure that out then it's easy. The idea is cute and I wanted to like this place more but the items we got were just basic and nothing too amazing. I liked the bulgogi kimbop best. My son also had a triangle kimbop that had tuna and mayo which was good, too. The chicken was good but for 13$ I didn't think it was anything spectacular. Food came out quick and they did have several self serve options with some pickled radish and cabbage. When one of the dishes in our party came out wrong they did go ahead and remake it right away without us even asking for it, so that was nice. Giving an extra star for good service. read more

I'm glad that they decided to extend their hours. They used to close before 5 pm and that was vexing. We came here for a late lunch. If you got a 30 min or hour lunch break, then this place is great for that. Service was fine. Food was good. We got a variety. Some of the ingredients are no longer on the current menu fyi. Prices are reasonable. There is parking but they share it with other places next door. -pork cutlet tong bop 5/5 - this one is my favorite. It's like a burrito and that crunch was perfect. -bulgogi kimbop 5/5 -fried chicken kbop 5/5 read more

I recently discovered this place by accident. I'm very happy that I stumbled across it. The inside has plenty of seating and is very clean. It was a bit smoky inside but not enough to drive me away. The service was quick, friendly, and helpful. These K-bop bowls might be my new OBSESSION. The balance of flavors, ingredients, and seasoning is PERFECT. I ended up going back 3 times within a week and trying different combinations. There is not a single bad option in my opinion but the bulgogi was my favorite. Overall this is a hidden gem of Chicagoland food and I highly recommend you making your way here ASAP. read more

The young lady with the hazel eyes is terrible. Get someone else to man the counter! She hated on me both times I've tried to eat here. Been there twice now, never had their food lol. Not going back, plenty of other Korean in Glenview to enjoy read more

The rude Asian girl w tattoos mentioned in several other reviews just canNOT be bothered to take an order. Aka you know, her job. She stops answering the phone maybe two hours before close. Hey whoever owns the business: get a better cashier and you should see your sales jump at least 20% considering the girl just stops taking orders two hours early. Good help is SO hard to find. read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon for lunch and there was one other table taken at the time (there were more people getting takeout). I had the cheese tteokbokki and hubby had a chicken tong bop (seaweed base rice wrap (lettuce, cabbage, carrot, corn, green onion, crab salad, seaweed salad, fried onion, egg scramble, avocado). We also shared a pork cutlet kimbop. The tteokbokki was bright red and I was afraid it would be too spicy but it was the perfect spice level. I do wish that they had a rose tteokbokki but the flavor was good. Hubby enjoyed his tong bop but it was pretty messy and he took it apart to eat it. The pork cutlet kimbop was decent. We will be back to try other menu items! read more

As I'm actively taking the steps to become more familiar with the Korean cuisine, my childlike wonder led me to stumble upon K-bop, a street food restaurant wedged between a dry cleaning place and a nail art studio in a faded strip mall. I learned that Bibimbop is one of the most well-known and traditional dishes you could try, so I couldn't go without ordering the Avocado one. Simply put, it was incredible. You had the warm chewy rice, crunchy vegetables, crispy fried egg, and a deeply flavorful gochujang sauce that will really have you fall in love with this bowl. And because all of the ingredients were so wholesome, you had the sensation that you were getting healthier with every bite. I also learned that Kimbop is sometimes mistakenly referred to as sushi, but to do that would undercut its rich history and flavor. The Fried Shrimp one that we ordered was great. Biting into it, you'll notice the crispy battered tempura shrimp, the pop of cucumber, and the glossy/smooth seaweed that's holding everything together for dear life. K-bop is awfully good, and taught me to take a closer look at the streets I drive by every single day. read more

Tried Tuna Mayo recently. It was packed with tuna, very generous portions. Though it is on the sweeter side. We still really liked it, but probably prefer the pork belly, fried chicken ones more! read more

The kimbap here is amazing. The rice is soft and well-seasoned, and the fillings are fresh and flavorful. I tried the classic vegetable kimbap, and the mix of crunchy carrots, crisp cucumbers, and savory egg was perfect. It is light but satisfying, and I will definitely be back for more. read more

K-bop - Korean Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Love love love K-bop! They have so many great choices but I love their K-bop and their burri-bop. I usually get the spicy pork or the spicy chicken in either form. They also have really good kim-bop as well as ramen. This place is nestled among several restaurants and is not too assuming. You have to know about the place to really get the drift of what it serves. The dining area offers both communal bar stool seating and sit down tables. The atmosphere is pretty chill and 5he service is welcoming. I recently visited in December and they have a Christmas tree up and playing Christmas music on the speakers. Nice touch to be in the holiday spirit. They also have free private parking ample for the occupancy. read more

The rolls were not rolled very well, loose and not packed tightly. I tried the shrimp kimbop which was ok, but unimpressive. I also tried the bulgogi kimbop, and I could not a finger on it, but something tasted very not fresh. The cashier was not very friendly. It is easier to go to one of the korean grocery stores and buy a pre-made kimbop roll there. read more

K-bop is my new favorite discovery for comfort food in the neighborhood by means of Korean street food staples! If you take anything away, it's that this place is a triple threat: fresh, tasty food, great value, and convenient! The menu is overwhelming at first, but there's sections for smaller (K-bop) rice bowls, bigger bibimbop rice bowls, tortilla wraps, and seaweed rice wraps (or sushirritos, as I call them)! You can choose from an assortment of fillings for each option, like spicy pork, bulgogi, fresh salmon, or shrimp. The back of the menu has appetizers, noodles, and fried chicken listed, though the staffer told me fried chicken isn't available yet. Pro tip: noodles are available for dine in only (darn, as we wanted udon on our last to go order)! I've been here 3x in the last couple months and gotten a T6 salmon sushirrito each time! For $12, it's a great deal and lasts me two meals. On our last visit, our party also tried the hearty seafood pancake, rice balls ($4.99 each), bibimbop, and a bulgogi rice bowl. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot! They're closed on Tuesdays, but hours are 7am-9pm every other day! Stop on by! read more

Small business located in a strip center with plenty of Asian businesses in the area. Nice, clean, friendly staff willing to take the time to explain food options for first time visitors. Ambiance is casual and the foods are fresh and tasty. Plenty of choices and everything looked wonderful. We enjoyed our meal eating in even though it was late, they were ready to close but they let us eat here. The place had music playing in the background and it was mostly quiet and busy since it was homecoming for the locals. I would recommend trying this place out. The only con was $3 for bottled drinks. They do have water available and allowed some to bring in their own drinks. read more

This is my favorite place to pop into for a quick to go meal after getting my nails done next door. I get the spicy pork kimbop. SO DELICIOUS and the meat is so so so flavorful! I brought it home once for my husband and now when I make the trip out here, it's a must I bring this home. That's how much we love it. I got the swicy wings and they were okay. Love when my wings have a crispy crunchy outer texture but I think the sauce made it too soggy. I need to come back and try their spicy and soy garlic next time. They have a decent amount of seating inside with a few long tables for bigger parties. They also have plenty of other things to try on their menu like rice bowls so this is definitely not my last time here! read more

I'm a big fan! So I love kim-bop. All the different flavors, the texture going on. It all works so well together. Ordered some tonight for delivery and kim-bop is really the perfect kind of cuisine for delivery since it doesn't really matter if it's colder. We had a bulgogi, a spam with egg wrap, a samgausal pork belly, egg. Also had a pajeon (that was really good), and also a salmon seaweed burrito (think of it like a giant kim-bop roll inside out. I thought the salmon roll needed a sauce. The sauces were quite good. A sweet and or spicy sauce that added nice richness to the kim-bop. I just wish there was more of it - it was concentrated on the ends of the kim-bop. I'll definitely order from them again. read more

Family and I were in Glenview to hit up ABT and on the way there we saw a multitude of Korean restaurants. So, when we were done shopping we decided to try one out ... K-Bop was the one we chose as it was close and easy to get to on our way home. It was low key and quiet inside, which was a change from a loud bar/grill setting. With us not being too familiar with Korean dishes, we ordered a few different items. Food was fresh and served promptly. Everything was delicious, service was friendly. We got a couple of strawberry shakes, Korean style wings, bulgogi, and a ttoekokki pot ... The t-pot was soooo good, spicy and fat noodles - oh my! Ended up getting a 'to-go' kimchi, which was soooo good. Looking forward to hitting this place again when up in Glenview again. read more

I've been to K-bop a few times and the one thing I'll note is the inconsistency with the food. The first time I visited the food was really great, I ordered the Donkatsu Tong Bop (seaweed based rice wrap with lettuce, cabbage, carrot, corn, green onion, crab salad, seaweed salad, fried onion, egg scramble, avocado) and was blown away with the flavors. I've also ordered the Salmon Bibim-Bop which is a traditional Korean rice bowl and was also a great choice. But the last two times I've ordered from here, the inconsistency started. I ordered the K-Bop (Korean Street Rice Cup) with Chicken and this consisted of lettuce, cabbage, carrot, corn, green onion, japchae, mandu. The mandu was way undercooked and I could tell it was still frozen and the chicken wasn't as crispy for a Korean Fried Chicken. I've also ordered the Korean Fried Chicken as a separate entrée and it lacked on the crispy side. Since then I've contemplated on coming back. I like the concept and the offerings of Korean Street Food and the service has been adequate. They are also pretty fast when it comes to serving the orders even when it's busy. The ambiance reminds me a bit of fast casual feel. The next time I come back, I might just stick to what works for me and what I know will be consistently good. read more

I pass by this place all the time and was always curious about the food. Finally stopped by and glad I did! Food was really good! They didn't have a few options that we initially wanted, but the food we got was very good! We probably just picked all of the popular items. The tteokbokki was very creamy and had so many different bites mixed in. It was very fun to eat. This place is definitely underrated and will definitely be coming back to try more! read more

Interesting place...it's like Korean chipotle + Korean snack/street food... The street toast def reminded me of Asia...ketchup, mayo and egg! The k-bop was light and good snack...saw someone ordered the egg omelette kbop and apparently it's rolled in egg omelette! Gonna try that next time. Would skip the bulgogi bimbimbop for other more interesting menu items ;) I like my custom tong-bop, although i think they forgot a few ingredients like the crab salad and a few others i asked for. Hope they work this out since "bop" is like half of their business... read more

I accidentally stumbled upon K-bop on a yelp search and was super happy to see their diverse menu of korean food. I've been here twice now but I've actually tried to order from them once previously. There was one Sat when I tried ordering via grubhub (and my order kept getting refunded) and then I tried calling the restaurant but no one ever picked up the phone. I chopped it up to bad luck on my end (and theirs as well) that day. I'm glad I gave them another chance because the kimbaps were delicious and reasonably priced. I ordered via the phone for takeout. Both times (since my first mishap) were easy and pleasant. The person would repeat the order back to me and give me a time estimate. Both times my orders were ready for pick up once I arrived there. Out of all the flavors I've tried, my favorite is the fried shrimp and the bulgogi. I really appreciate that their menu online was the same in store. Parking can be a hit or miss - sometimes it's packed and sometimes there's plenty of parking. Just be aware that the spots are kind of tight. I've only been here during a week day lunch so not sure how dinner or weekend would be. So far I've been really happy with the food and service and I look forward to trying their other items. I have high hopes that this place will be my favorite to go for quick and easy korean food. read more

We came here after cleanse so we could feel OK about all of the carbohydrates! You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. It's in a very nondescript strip mall on Milwaukee Avenue. It is very strange looking designs on the plate glass windows outside so you cannot see in, but you can see out. We had the spicy pork K bop and the bulgogi tong bop. The spicy pork KBop was in a cup and the pork was very well seasoned and the fresh veggies underneath were a great contrast. The bulgogi tong bop is kind of like an inside out sushi roll however much, much bigger with lots of rice and almost the size of a burrito with the bulgogi and vegetables inside. They take the bop and roll it in crispy bits of maybe fried garlic and onion and possibly sesame seeds. It's a tiny bit messy, but the way they packaged it makes it easier to eat without falling apart. We look forward to returning and try and other things on the menu. read more

Love K-bop! Located in a small strip mall on Milwaukee, but I never have trouble finding parking. Food is always made fresh. Everything I've tried from here is delicious! My favorites are the Tuna Mayo Kimbap and the Spicy Squid K-Bowl! I love how they have self serve water/tea. The tables and bathrooms are always clean, which is a plus. Considering how many times I've eaten here, this has to be one of my favorite places to eat! read more

Tried K Bop for the first time via a carry out order. The menu is pretty straightforward, with some Korean favorites on it! I went with the bulgogi bop. Bulgogi bop is a rice bowl with cabbage, corn, greens, and other items. It's typed with a piece of mandu. The online menu states that it has "k-black" and "k- white" on it, I didn't know what that meant, so I asked the employees, and they had no idea of what it meant. In looking at my dish, maybe it's the sauce that's drizzled on it (mayo and one of the other Asian sauces... I'm not sure if it was Hoisin/soy sauce or a house one). The bowl was pretty good, but the proportion of rice to protein was completely off. I only had like 4 bites of bulgogi, and the rest was rice and arugula. I probably wouldn't get that bowl again, but will try other items next time. read more

K-bop - Bulgogi bop - Korean Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

First time trying the place. I love the place, clean and chic. Food was made fresh and not skimpy on the other note ingredients. Service was fast, friendly and precise. It's almost self serve, you order and pay and they will deliver it to your table and you get your own utensils and water or the barley tea(I enjoyed it). Everything we tasted were great, soondae my favorite doesn't disappoint. Fresh salmon kbop bowl I guess (sorry), almost tasted like the cross over of salmon poke and burrito bowl. Spicy squid kim bop, yum and as I said they are not shy about putting the ingredients, you'll taste and see real squid. Spicy seafood ramen noodles, hit the spot with a lot of squid and mussels -- and the broth!!!! Yum! And it open our nostrils. We enjoyed it a lot. Thank you! read more

Best Korean street food offering in the northern suburbs by a long shot. They're open past 4pm for dinner and have expanded their menu to offer the delicious Korean street toast (perfect balance of savory and sweet "breakfast sandwich" that we always get), omelette spam/kimchi kimbop (replace the seaweed with a thin layer of egg), and perfectly cooked tteokbokki (perfectly seasoned and chewy) all made to order. The make-your-own options are great but you're missing out if you're not getting something off the menu by the register. Every shortcoming from my first review no longer exists and the menu got even better. Top five go-to. read more

Sometimes simple street food are the best way to get to experience a culture and K-Bop is just the place. K-Bop, Korean street rice cup. Love the concept and the flavors and mixture and ingredients for K-2. Jaeyook Bop Spicy Pork Bop are 5/5!! Another bowl Plz! T-3 Pork CutletTong-bop, seaweed based rice roll. This was a little underwhelming. It was good but there just wasn't much flavors in this roll making it quite pedestrian. read more
