I drive by this place everyday on my way home from work and had no idea that it was here. I think it used to be a sushi place and I just never paid attention. I came here today for lunch and I got a Kbop bowl with beef bulgogi and chicken and a large Korean glass noodle. Total was around $22 so it is a little expensive, but the portion size is pretty decent. I wish there was a bit more protein and maybe less salad, but they give you a lot of rice and the bowl filled me up. The glass noodles also tasted really good and it was a pretty big portion for only $6.00. Place was clean and the worker was friendly. I ordered online and the food was ready when they said it would be. Parking lot is tiny, so it might be hard to get a space if it's really busy. Overall, the food was pretty tasty and the menu is pretty big. I will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu. read more

KBOP Korean Kitchen - Korean Near Me - Walnut, California

Great affordable lunch/dinner spot ranging from $10-15 dollars. There's seating inside but the parking is a bit limited. The japchae was great but I personally liked the fried rice bowl more with its peppery flavor. They also have ramen which I have yet to try. Service was good and I will be coming back again for a quick meal! read more

KBOP Korean Kitchen - Fried Rice Bowl - Korean Near Me - Walnut, California

See all

Food: KBOP Bowl - choice of base (White Rice, Multi-Grain Rice [+$1.50], Salad) + 2 proteins (Beef Bulgogi, Chicken, Spicy Pork, Spam, Fried Tofu, Mushrooms), served with salad & dressing; Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl - choice of protein, stir fried white rice, kimchi, onions, roasted seaweed & fried egg (optional); Korean Fried Chicken - Boneless or Wings - (Flavors: Original, Soy Garlic, Sweet Chili) served with small white radish & one dipping sauce (BBQ Honey, Insane Spicy, Spicy Mayo, Sweet Chili, Ranch) All were very tasty, but the Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl used sour/older kimchi. The KFC Soy Garlic goes perfect with the Ranch. Service: friendly service and everything is made-to-order Design: interiors is contemporary with concrete floors, white walls, tables, brown chairs, nice graphics & posters Overall: if you want really good Korean fast food, then I would highly recommend this place read more

Sometimes I spend a lot of time looking up new restaurants to try. I'll waste hours trying to focus down what's a good food joint I haven't tried yet. And other times they open a new Korean kitchen next to where you get your haircut. And by a happy accident they do a decent Korean bulgogi and spicy pork bowl. It may not quite be to the level of an ANB, but it's more than delicious enough to pick up after an appointment with one's barber. The service was great. Other than telling me it was $1.50 to add green onions when it's actually free and included with the bowls, there were no problems. They got my bowl to me quickly and the ordering was actually pretty speedy. The ambience was nice. Everything was vibrant and upbeat. They have enough tables for the amount of customers coming in. Plus, the music was kind of lively compared to what you usually get in a bowl food joint. I didn't have my book with me but I bet it's very friendly to killing off a chapter or two after you eat here. All in all, it's a good find and one I suspect I'll be coming to every now and then just because it's so convenient and tasty. read more

KBOP Korean Kitchen - And I've got no case To take my place with the human race KBOP Bulgogi & Spicy Pork Bowl from #KBOPKoreanKitchen - Korean Near Me - Walnut, California

Came here for lunch since I wanted to try something new Got the mixed bowl with beef bulgogi and chicken. It comes with rice and salad. The beef bulgogi was a bit tough and hard to chew. The marinade was ok. The chicken had no taste, really bland! The salad dressing tasted too sour like vinegar and did not compliment the salad or bowl since it got mixed in with the meat and rice. The ribs were pretty good, cooked well and had some nice fat/meat pieces. Chapjae was not the best. It had a nice soft chewy texture, but the flavor tasted like there was too much sesame oil where it felt greasy and it was really peppery. The flavors were too Americanized for me. I prefer a more authentic Korean place. read more

Such a good grab-and-go spot! I was hungry and wanted a quick fix so I went with the Kbop bowl - beef bulgogi and spicy pork. Both meats were surprisingly tender and there were more meaty than fatty pieces, which I appreciated. The base comes with half white rice half salad but you can change it to your preferences. It was the right amount for me to feel satiated and not overly stuffed. The process of ordering and receiving the bowl took less than 5 minutes. I went at night so parking was super easy but it is fairly small. There was no one dining in when I visited but the interior is bright, spacious, and modern with its own ramen station. read more

I am so excited that KBOP finally opened today! Every day I drive by, I look to see if it's open yet and finally the day has come. I've driven by a KBOP on Huntington in Monrovia and they confirmed it was the same restaurant. KBOP took over the former Domo Sushi & Roll location across Mt. SAC. They've completely renovated the interior and it's beautiful. It's very bright and welcoming and enough seating for about 25 guests. The staff was very welcoming and happy to explain the menu and give recommendations. I ended up ordering: KBOP Bowl w/ spicy pork and beef bulgogi KBOP Bowl w/ chicken only Boneless Fried chicken (6 pieces) in soy garlic flavor w/ Spicy Mayo sauce Side of Korean Glass noodles (aka japchae) They also have KBOP fries, but I'll have to try that next time when I have the whole family in tow to share with me. The food was great! Bowls come with a base of half white rice and half salad. I enjoyed the chicken bowl, the chicken was tender and well seasoned. Salad was refreshing and helped to balance the palate while eating the savory food. The fried chicken was yummy! I really liked the flavor and sauces I got (which the staff recommended to me). The glass noodles were good but a bit saltier than I'm used to. There's also a ramen station on the side of the restaurant. It's not ready to use yet, but they said you can order a bag of ramen from the ramen wall, they'll put it in a bowl and then go to the station to fill it with hot water. Makes me think of a convenience store.... The food was ready quick! I love that they stick a label on each container so you know what's what. I don't know why more places don't do that and you have to guess what everything is. Only downside is that parking can be really challenging as it's a small lot and there aren't a lot of spaces available, especially if you have a lot of customers visiting the other shops in the plaza. Overall, KBOP is a great addition to Walnut, and I can't wait to come back! read more

First time here. Ordered a Korean fried chicken bowl and regular fries (not pictured). Very flavorful. The guy who took our order was nice, helpful and open to questions if we had any. The place is small, but there's seating. It's bright and clean. There's two water stations to make your ramen if you choose that for yourself. It's across the street from Mt. Sac so I predict this place is busy during lunch time some days. The fries were perfectly seasoned. If you want ranch for your fries it's an extra 55 cents (not a dealbreaker). It's a cool place. I'd happily come back. read more

Ordered the mixed rice bowl, almost $16 and the protein portion is so small. There were only a few pieces of chicken. The bowl was pretty good with the base having half rice salad but just wasn't filling enough for the price :/ There's an online ordering system, was able to pick up the food quickly. read more

I really enjoy the food here but while my friend and I were there last week, the manager was trying to discipline one of the employees. Apparently someone left a bad review and they were discussing her behavior but it just made it really awkward. We could hear the entire conversation. I hope management keeps this in mind for future references. There should be an office in the back or they should wait for there to be no customers to do that. Food is great though it was just the ambiance that can be worked on. read more

Finally open! Right across from Mt. SAC. Place is clean and inviting. Cashiers are welcoming and helpful if you have any questions. Menu prices looks reasonable. We ordered a Mixed Rice Bowl w/ Chicken and a fried egg (optional no extra charge) and a order of 6 Piece Boneless Fried Chicken Soy Garlic flavor. Food was very good and the boneless chicken was also very good! They have a Ramen Station if you're craving ramen or Jjajamyeon. They have extra toppings for the ramen too! Maybe we'll try the ramen next time. Over all this is a place I would definitely come back too. Parking lot is kinda small but we had no trouble finding a spot right in front. read more

Been coming here since it opened. The food comes out quickly and everything has been tasty. The inside is very clean although small. They have a huge ramen selection and a place to heat it all up. Make sure to get the spicy mayo as it is the best I have ever had. Emily is the sweetest cashier and always greets me warmly when I come in. She has helped me explore the menu more and is always a delight to see at the front. The bulgogi is amazing but the stand out start is the spicy pork. It has a good heat to it but omg if its not the juiciest cut of meat around. I love everything on this menu. read more

Amazing food and solid customer service. Fantastic addition to the area. The ambiance is up beat and nice too. I'm sure all of the students are loving it. read more

So glad this place opened! Everything I've tried so far has been so good. Love that there are healthy options like the mixed rice and Kbop bowl but also some comfort foods for days when all I want to eat are fried chicken. Kbop fries are also super tasty. Nothing like it around! They also have a ramen station set up which is what I'll be getting the next time I go in. Don't miss out yall! read more

Been waiting for this place to open. Got a bowl today with bulgogi & spicy pork. Sooo good & liked the side salad too. I do enjoy yoshinoya & flame broiler bowls, but KBOP might be my new fav in the area. Excited to go back & try the wings & fries next. Hope they can extend for longer hours for dinner soon. I could see myself ordering weekly here. read more

i have been going to kbop monrovia for years because the food is amazing and the staff is great but this location had someone, maybe a manager?, sitting at a booth and she was rude the entire time while i asked questions i always order the same thing at kbop, which is the kbop fries, and everytime the staff at the monrovia location ask if i want a sauce but this miserable woman really made me do another transaction just for one insane spicy sauce...... looks like i need to find a new favorite restaurant because that was petty af read more

I need to tell anyone I know to try this place . The food is good especially the Korean ribs bowl and the glass noodles bowl . This place is clean and modern even with a restroom there . They have a self serve ramen station . Good for anyone wants a quick hot ramen. Will definitely go again read more

Amazing Korean food within walking distance of MSAC. The staff was very friendly and the place is clean and modern. We tried out the ramen machine and it was a big hit with the fam. The food portions are huge (they fill the bowl to the top). The kalbi (beef ribs) were just like the ones you get in at K-town BBQ restaurant. We also tried the Kbop bowl with chicken and bulgogi (beef) and they were excellent. Would definitely go back. read more
