Korean Corndogs and  Fried Dumplings
John P.

On this occasion I tried 'K-Bop', it's not a large place but it can accommodate an average size. As you enter, you're greeted cordially and you look at the menu on the wall and are given the option to order on kiosk or in person. You have a good variety of dishes and drinks and daily specials. After placing your order you find where you want to sit and as your food is ready they bring you your meal. On this occasion I ordered the corn dogs which was accompanied by fries. The corn dogs were delicious, cheesy and lightly crunchy. Inside the corn dogs were a small hotdog and regarding the fries, salted just right and a great flavor. I also ordered fried dumplings, my goodness, they were delicious with wonderful texture and flavor, the dipping sauce made them taste outstanding. This a perfect combination of warm and locally centered place. K-Bop is a good option for Korean food and I recommend this place.

Our first time trying k-bop. We were pleased. The food was hot and delicious. Ramyun: spam, dumpling, rice cake, cheese : Kimchi, Jalapeno, bean sprouts

Great spot for a quick Korean snack food experience. This is very similar to a bunshik restaurant in Korean popular to students where they can get ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes) and Kim bap (rolls) along with other fried food. I ordered the kimchi Kim bap, tonkatsu Kim Bap, and ddukbokki with ramen to share with the hubby. Kim baps were legit, but the rice was a little cold. Same with the ddukbokki, temperature was not hot enough. Other than that, everything tasted great! I also ordered a coffee with tapioca which was delicious. Parking is limited when there's a school event as they share a parking lot with other restaurants and businesses.

Spicy Chicken Bulgogi Bowl

If you don't know how to heat up a boiling pot and add shin noodles and add eggs, with some pork belly - then definitely the place for you. We walked in and I instantly saw all of the black shin noodles displayed in the front ... cool it's known as a Korean style sauce but nothing the restaurant did helped to enhance the packaged seasoning. The chicken bowls are made with Costco canned chicken. So it was like eating spicy canned chicken that had been thickened by some sort of sauce 1 maybe the noodle water.

The restaurant is clean. The staff was friendly. The Bulgogi was perfect. This is my second time enjoying it. The first time I warmed it up and had it at home. I liked it that way better.

Kimchi Jjigae Soup with home added tteokbokki and noodles

Oh. My. God. I actually just choked on this food because I was eating it so ferociously, scarfing it all down. I couldn't stop. Mom got scared hearing me cough and almost die. Mixing the soup with the perfectly runny egg and rice was breathtaking, they complimented eachother beautifully. Its a perfectly spicy, piping hot, flavor bomb, subtlely sweet. Sooooo comforting on this rainy cold day. This is now my go to for any overcast, chilly day. It's so stupidly good. I can't describe how much I love it. Especially with the rice cakes I added Can't wait to order more items!

Casual Korean food fix! I usually order from here using a delivery app but it's always great to swing by for some fresh eats. Service is fast and friendly! I did see quite a bit of new items but also some items no longer there like the seasonal soon doo boo jjigae. The ambiance is clean and had plenty of seating inside and outside. Don't expect authentic Korean eats it's more of a nice casual mix of flavors. For the price and what you get it's a good casual spot. They have late hours so it's perfect for the college crowd.

Quiet little Korean shopfront in San Marcos. Order first via tablet (think Which 'Wich) and then they bring your food to the table. Everything tasted very fresh!! Hot sauce (upon request). Dishes are all between $11 and $13. A yummy diversion!

Unmixed bibimbap $10

A Korean restaurant in San Marcos that people primarily go to for Korean food and not Japanese-like food such as kimbap and specialty sushi. I saw a Korean student working here. *GASP* I didn't know that actual Korean people actually existed in San Marcos. This location seems to be their second location with the first being near UT. The food is good. I had the bibimbap, which was standard. They were very generous with the vegetables. My only wish is that the online ordering website actually worked. The website was unresponsive after I added an entree, so I had to refresh it to see the changes to my cart. I am genuinely glad that didn't happen when I tried paying on the website. I believe the owner said something about it only being active during lunch rush hours, but I wish that it said somewhere on the website that was the case. Parking at downtown San Marcos. You may have a hard time finding enough parking during evening hours.

Food is amazing and authentic. I like the atmosphere. However, be aware of the service. You order at a kiosk and service can be slow.
