Spring Rolls
Kate M.

Stopped in on a weekday during lunch time. The place wasn't very busy when we arrived. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating as weather permits. You place your order at the counter and find a spot to enjoy your meal. The space is hip with K-bop music videos to add to the experience. The restrooms are gender neutral and very clean. I highly recommend the plum iced tea. The perfect amount of plummy sweetness. The mandu are absolutely delicious. Tender dough stuffed full of deliciousness. The spring rolls were equally delicious. For entrees, we went with the traditional fair: chicken katsu, bulgogi, and galbi. The bowls come with both glass noodles and rice with a generous amount of your choice of protein on top. While the noodles are good, I prefer rice over them any day. I'll make note to ask for all rice next time I visit. The katsu was crispy and tender. The bulgogi was tender and full of flavor. I think the galbi was our most favorite. The meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled up to perfection. I felt like we definitely got good value for the price. I added a side of kimchi because that's what one is supposed to do. It was really good with a nice heat and the bite of acid from the fermentation process wasn't overwhelming. All in all a fantastic meal. We can't wait to visit again soon.

Beef Bulgogi Bap

Food was good, especially the pot stickers. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Everyone was pleasant. The seating was good-- very casual style restaurant.

Galbi
Cleo G.

Tried the Galbi Bop Bowl and it was honestly way better than I expected. I loved the japchae (so delicious and flavorful), the generous portion of rice, and the fact that the Galbi was actually on the bone and pretty authentic! It was a bit fattier than I would normally like, but the meat itself was good and there was a lot of it! Also, there is a whole table of sauces that you can add to your bowl, which really boosts the flavor. My favorite was the the katsu sauce. Would definitely come here again!

Food was decent, a little pricey for what it is. I recommend beef bulgogi over the katsu.

Beef Bop (beef bulgogi) and mandu potstickers
Erica L.

I absolutely love K-Bop!!! I have been a huge fan of their food since they only had a food truck and so it's really dope to see them have two brick and mortar locations. I went to the Delmar location and it is such a vibe on the inside. The music was jammin' and I loved the decor on their walls and on the tables. I ordered a Cup Bop and being that I love beef bulgogi, I ordered it in the Beef Bop. I also got two Mandu potstickers as well. Once I added some spicy mayo to the dish-I knew that it was time to chow down lol I ate so good! The food at K-Bop is always so filling and the ingredients are always fresh. The food here is amazing but the hospitality at K-Bop also keeps me coming back. If you haven't tried Korean BBQ yet then you should definitely stop by K-Bop.

I remember going in the past and the food was fantastic! I missed it and went back recently. The meat was dry and I swear I could have remembered that there were more toppings. I probably won't be back. Service was friendly, food was fast, and great for something quick.

This is a gem. I first heard of KBop as a food truck. This is their brick and morter location. The ambiance is welcoming. The decor is lively. Even the table let's you know that you have found KBop. The food is delicious. If you are looking for some Korean food or Asian fusion. Get over to KBop. Service is excellent. They don't have table service. You place your order. They prepare it quickly and bring it to you. Everything is so enjoyable. There's a largescreen TV too. I enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. I couldn't eat it all.

This was a great stop on a street with multiple options. I picked one of the more expensive options, I think it was a special for $14 while everything else was a few dollars cheaper. I will say that this entree was a pretty good size and is well worth the price. There was a little side bar with various condiments to add to your entree and benched tables both inside and out to sit at. It's very casual and a cool spot to catch up with friends, fam, etc. I would recommend it to others.

Notice I've eaten the majority great portion for the spicy Ramen
Nikki L.

Service first LARGE GREET at the door explained I never been here she give me the history on how the place came to be and I'm in favor. I ordered the spicy ramen and she was quick to explain this is not like Japanese ramen with all toppings. I decided to try it anyways and even with her clarity that it is simple ramen you can probably make at home it was good also ordered the egg rolls now those were average nothing to send a card about but not bad. I didn't care for the canned soda or water sauce station just because of customers negligence of cleanliness and respect for the next guest. The atmosphere is good vibes. Would eat here again when in town

Spicy pork bop with gyoza
Megana V.

Pre covid review: Went here when the food truck came close to work one summer and it is definitely some of the best Korean food in St. Louis! The lines were always really long but it was worth it for how amazing the food was. My go to order was the spicy pork bop with gyoza but I tried the beef, chicken, and tofu bop and they were all really good as well! If they are still around make sure to support them!

Tteok-bokki DLX Not the most attractive looking but so so delicious!
Vivienne C.

Very pleasantly surprised by K-Bop! I know they started out with a food truck and now they have a standalone store. I ordered Tteobboki Deluxe which had tteobboki, fish cakes, an egg, beef, and potstickers. The flavor was actually very spot on, I like it a little bit on the spicy side with more Gochujang flavor. I also really appreciated the potstickers which were so good dipped in that rich sauce. Oh and eggs and gochujang may now be my new favorite combination. Highly recommend. Definitely need to come back for more! Should probably try their "cup bop" the next time as this is what they are known for. +1 star for their free k-bop stickers which are so so cute! Not bad for the Loop at all!

Tofu BiBimBop and Vegetable Side Spring Roll w a bunch of sauces (:
Alina S.

My only really negative is that the spring rolls were not hot/fresh. I also was sad that they didn't have vegetable/vegetarian mandu - only option was pork. I really liked the vibe of the restaurant, it was super colorful and service was extremely quick but I understand why it was so quick since I think the food was already ready to go. They have quite a few tofu options which is great!

I came here and got food with my friend. They were quick when bringing the food out after we…read moreordered and we ordered a large amount. we did the hot pot and the kbbq, they brought the soups out right away which i liked so it could start heating up while we made our sauces and by the time we made it back the food was there. I love being able to cook my own food and pick the meat. The service was only okay, the waiter didn't check on us much but the few times he did he brought the thing we needed. We weren't brought spoons and scissors to cut the meat so we had to grab our own after we sat down. Other than the service not being super great this time, everything was good, food was fresh and I had a great time.

Coming in from AZ, I was pretty shocked how lacking the AYCE KBBQ scene is here, but there was a KPOT in AZ that we didn't try. We finally got to try it here, and really liked the meat quality! I miss the typical banchan options from traditional korean bbq houses, but I really liked their kimchi!! The daikon was also pretty good so those really made the meal for me. There is a whole sauce bar for meats, and fries, egg rolls, and sesame balls. We didn't opt for any hot pot, but we might try it next time. The place was pretty big, and there are two parking lot areas nearby.

A Great Hole-in-the-Wall Korean Spot…read more I was really in the mood for Korean food, and as Korean culture has become more mainstream, I've noticed that some Korean restaurants have started to feel a bit commercialized. As someone who cooks Korean food myself and spent time living in Korea, sometimes you just want a simple, authentic, no-frills spot that focuses on the food. Thankfully, Asian Kitchen Korean Cuisine, located at 8423 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO, delivered exactly that. I knew I was probably in the right place as soon as I walked in and was greeted by one of the owners, whose direct and no-nonsense personality reminded me of many family-run restaurants I've visited over the years. It gave the place a lot of character. I kept my order simple and went with the beef bulgogi, while my sister ordered the chicken bulgogi. Both came with rice and kimchi. We also shared an order of vegetable potstickers, which were fried perfectly. Everything was delicious. The food had a homemade quality that felt comforting and authentic. The bulgogi was flavorful, the kimchi was satisfying, and the potstickers were easily one of the highlights of the meal. We ordered everything to go, so unfortunately I didn't get any photos, but the food definitely spoke for itself. One thing to keep in mind is that there may be a bit of a wait, but that's because the food is prepared fresh. If you're willing to be patient, it's well worth it. Overall, if you're looking for solid Korean food in the St. Louis area and don't mind a straightforward, family-run atmosphere, Asian Kitchen is a great choice. 4 out of 5 stars.

I remember going to this restaurant over 10 yrs ago back when I was still in middle school. But…read moreunfortunately things are not the same anymore since they seem to give less banchan than they used to, and the menu appears to be smaller than back then, and they appeared to do some renovations since then. Despite that, the seafood pancake was crispy and yummy. The fried rice was alright, but it could use a little more seasoning. I was going to get omurice, but it's no longer on the menu so they need to either put it back on the menu or take the photo of that dish down near the entrance. Also, it was very warm and a little humid inside.

They were able to accommodate one of our friends who uses a wheelchair, which made me happy. It was open, clean, and bright. The music was a fun selection, though it was so loud that I had to ask them to turn it down so we could hear each other and they immediately obliged. I felt a little awkward asking (I just wanted to be able to hear all my friends!), but I was glad they didn't make it weird. I got a matcha milk tea which was pretty good. The waiter did a fairly good job explaining things, and the menu was insanely extensive. There is just SO much variety. After having watched Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, I wanted to try lotus root and it was SO good. I also ordered carrots and ramen. Some friends ordered shrimp and scallops, and the others ordered fried tofu and spicy things that I mostly ignored. My side ordered the chicken broth and the nutritious broth. The chicken broth was okay, a bit lackluster, but OMG. That nurtrious broth has me obsessed. HOW can I make that for myself?! I don't like mushroom texture, but they apparently gave this broth a delightful flavor along with the ginger. I thought about it all night after and most of today, but luckily, we were able to take our leftovers home and I was able to eat it again today! SO good. We got a volcano of beef to share, which I found charming, and it was fun to cook the food at our table. Everyone left feeling full and happy. I thought it was a bit pricy, but if it been just myself and my partner, I think it would've been plenty more reasonable (we just split the bill evenly, which I was fine with). This was lots of fun and that broth is enough to make me want to go back again soon. It's been a while since I ate somewhere and daydreamed about the food long after-- well done, Umami Seasons!

The waiter brings the raw ingredients to you, and you will need to fetch your own sauces. Everything is cooked in hot broth, so definitely super healthy. Lots of veggie selections, meat, seafood and starch. It is in the heart of the loop and very lively area all the time. There is a big free public parking lot in the back of the main area but you pretty much need to walk to where you want to be. Casual but lively vibe.

TLDR: Good Food, But A Lot of Red Flags…read more I had been wanting to try Shabu Day for a while and finally made it out. The food was honestly really good -- but there is a lot this place needs to fix before I can fully recommend it. The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the smell. And not in a good way. It smelled like a sewer. Not what you want when you are about to sit down and eat. It lingered the entire time we were there and was really hard to get past. The front of the restaurant looks okay at first glance. But once you sit down you start noticing things. The tables are wobbly and clearly rigged up with makeshift fixes. Extension cords are running visibly across the floor which looks bad and feels unsafe. The menus and sauce bottles were sticky -- like they had not been wiped down in a long time. Little things like that add up fast. I caught a glimpse of the back of the house and it looked grimy and dirty. That is a problem at any restaurant, but especially at a place where you are cooking your own food right at the table. The staff were not very welcoming either. They were hard to find when you needed something and did not seem very interested in making sure you were having a good time. Now here is the thing -- the food was actually fresh and delicious. The broth was flavorful and the ingredients were good quality. That part genuinely impressed me. But for the price they are charging? The total package is just not there yet. Good food can only carry a restaurant so far. They need to clean things up -- literally -- before I come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ UPDATE: One more thing worth mentioning that I think is really important. Shabu Day is strictly all you can eat -- and that is the only option they offer. For most people that is fine. But for anyone with a medical condition that limits how much they can eat, this format is a serious problem. You are being charged full all you can eat prices for food you physically cannot consume in that quantity. That is not fair and it is not inclusive. A lot of restaurants in this space offer a la carte or smaller portion options for exactly this reason. Shabu Day should do the same. It is a simple change that would make a big difference for a lot of people and would show that they actually care about all of their customers -- not just the ones who can eat the most. Clean things up, fix the smell, train your staff to be more welcoming, and give people a fair way to order. The foundation is there. Now build on it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food was cool. We love ramen and the experience of "cooking" it right at our table. One very short…read moremenu with a few broth and meat choices. There were very few instructions and the place could use some TLC and thorough cleaning. I didn't use the restroom but my husband thinks black mold is growing in it.
