    Miso soup that came with my Kimbap
    Vira P.

    | visited Kimbap Heaven literally 20 minutes ago for the first time and I have to post about it! I got the fried shrimp kimbap and it was incredibly delicious and fresh! There were a lot of different textures and flavors. There were varying levels of crispness from the fried shrimp and veggies. The pickled daikon was refreshingly bright. I liked that the kimbap was packed with ingredients with a perfect layer of rice. It was filling, especially with the miso soup that came with it. They did a great job renovating the space, which used to be a vegetarian Thai restaurant. It's brighter and feels more open. I took my order to go, but the gentleman who took my order was nice. And I got my food within 15 minutes. I'm definitely coming back to try the rose tteokbokki.

    Fried Seaweed Roll: 4 PCS ($4.99)
    Elena N.

    Date: Monday, October 13th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch Delivery Time Ordered: around 2:15pm Time Delivered: about 30 mins later Ordered Thru: DoorDash Delivered To: Outer Richmond *Fish Cake Soup 어묵탕 ($6.99) *Fried Seaweed Roll: 4 PCS ($4.99) *SSam Kimbap ($13.99) *Basic Kimbap ($10.99) Quick, easy, not too expensive. I believe the hubby picked this spot since he wanted something that reminded him of home? I however, just wanted the fish cake soup. It was tasty - savory soup, chewy cakes, slight sweetness from the onions. I believe he enjoyed the kimbap. Tho he likes to add srirachi to every single bite. The seaweed rolls were just meh. I can't recall what the hubs was expecting, but it wasn't this. Decent spot to grab fast korean food. REVIEW #3869

    Closeup of kimbap, rabboki, and rose tteokbokki

    I called in at 3:30pm for a pickup order at 5:15pm (14 items!). They called to let me know it wouldn't be ready until 5:40pm due to a sudden surge of orders. It worked out since I was late getting out of work. When I got there around 5:30pm, I still had a bit of a wait but they offered me a seat and water while I waited. There's white zone and yellow zone parking on Willow St, right around the corner. My order was finished around 5:50pm. One of the staff kindly helped me carry my order to my car (3 bags full). When I got home, I was pretty amazed with the amount of food there was. It was all good, only complaint from our group was that some of the rice seemed a bit mushy. Items that I'd order again: Rabboki Rose tteokbokki Bburinkle chicken Musubi kimbap Bulgolgi kimbap Ssam kimbap Things I'd like to try: All their rice plates (My kid loved the tonkatsu rice plate) The interior of the restaurant looked clean and bright. They had K-pop playing from a projector on the blank white wall. Not my thing but could be nice if dining in. Hope to try more one day!

    Radish that came with the wings
    Adam B.

    An old sketchy Burger King turned into a high tech Ghost Kitchen. Although it looks like 3 mall food court kiosks, the digital menu is like 15 restaurants. I went with the highest rated on Yelp and did my own pickup with that cool cubby system. Bulgogi Kimbap: Pretty good quality kimbap. Seemingly made-to-order since the rice seemed fresh, unlike the stale rice you get in Korean grocery store kimbap. Had so many nice ingredients in the middle to complement the bulgogi. Really love all those pickled veggies. Musubi Kimbap: Looked nothing like the photo. It was essentially a regular kimbap, but with spam for the meat. So felt a lot more kimbap-like than musubi-like. Tasty, but I the bulgogi version is better. Soy Garlic Wings: It feels a bit pricey to pay $30.40 for 10 wings that you pickup yourself. But they are good quality. Crispy skin with very light battering. No squishy fat underneath, indicating it was probably double-fried so all the fat had been cooked off. Nice tangy soy garlic sauce.

    Soft opening menu
    Nick F.

    Soft opening started 1/12. They recently moved out from the ghost kitchen down on market to this cozy spot. Interior is bright. Everything is brand new. I only had a couple of things to eat since it was consider as my first meal. Just got a basic kimbap and fried seaweed roll. The soup comes with the kimbap. There was on the house chives pancake. Can't wait for grand opening

    Tuna Mayo Kimbap w/ green onion soup ($12.99) + Housemade Kimchi ($3.99) - ghost kitchen, takeout + delivery only
    Cherylynn N.

    3.5 STARS NGL, I was hoping for a fork to come with my kimbap. I mean, this is the Mid-Market area. J/k! But, including a faux metal fork it would have been a cute ode to Squid Games. I'm always on a hunt for affordable lunch options near the office so I was happy to find Kimbap Heaven on yelp. While the business notes, they're a "restaurant" on yelp, they're a ghost kitchen inside Mid Market Eats. They share a space with over 18 other concepts inside the old Burger King space. It's takeout and delivery only. You can find them on 3rd party apps, order ahead direct: https://midmarketeats.com/, or in-person via kiosks. M E N U Array of kimbap (korean seaweed rice rolls), KFC, ramyun, tteokbokki, rice plates (galbi, bulgogi, donkatsu, etc), and housemade banchan. O R D E R I N G To beat the lunch rush, I placed a direct order on Mid Market Eats around opening time and was quoted 14 minutes. When I arrived, I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for my order. Without asking, the kind front desk employee ran downstairs four times to check with Kimbap Heaven on my order (thank you!). I hope they're able to give more accurate wait times for those on break and need to get back to work. F O O D * Tuna Mayo Kimbap ($12.99): https://tinyurl.com/3nmfbpr5 Large, filling kimbap with canned tuna, surimi, egg, fishcake, spinach, burdock, carrots, and pickled daikon. While I appreciate that the kimbap had little rice, it was on the bland side, missing a creamy tang. Easy fix with adding more mayo to match their menu description of "rich and creamy". The kimbap also includes a side of hot green onion soup. * Housemade Kimchi ($3.99) Maybe because the kimchi had been sitting for a while but it was mushy and too sour, akin to commercial ones. Overall, Kimbap Heaven is the only kimbap specialty place in the city (Woori Food Market/Catering does have a handful of kimbap options tho) so worth trying if you're in the Civic Center/Mid-Market area. Unfortunately, I have to round down for the long wait time.

    Kimchi cheese kimbap, ddukbokki
    Katie K.

    I did pick up and found that it was a cloud kitchen. Reminiscent of the restaurant chain of the same name all over Korea, this place specializes in kimbap and other street food items. The kimchi cheese kimbap was amazing. The roll itself was huuuge and it had all the proper authentic filling that you'd see in a kimbap in Korea. I also really appreciated that they didn't not skimp out on the egg--the egg really makes or breaks a kimbap. The ddukbokki was absolutely on par with the street ddukbokki you get in Korea. They used flour based dduk so even after the dish had cooled down the texture of the dduk stayed super chewy. The sauce was also the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

    Sushi
    Steven S.

    This is actually a nice place to order food from. The food here is great also they don't serve just Korean food here. They also have pizza here. The Korean food I had here tasted great. The service was friendly and the ambiance of this place is very nice. A great place to have lunch or dinner. This place is mostly a takeout place. I give them 4 stars. I may come back again

    Regular kimbab and banquet noodles, YUMMY

Yes, it is one person doing everything, but he's super sweet and thorough. So, have patience coming here. Restaurants probably can't afford more labor when their own costs of food, labor, rent and insurance is so high. With that said, the food is expensive. However, the items we ordered were delicious, clean, fresh, and authentic. Ginseng chicken soup was made with love. Can't find this dish in most Korean spots! Longer wait time because it takes longer to make. Meat fell if the bone, stock was rich and not salty! You can salt it yourself! Mackerel was tasty and juicy. Probably, the best pan fried mackerel I've had. The mungbean pancake was good but not for the price. Side dishes were decent. Kimchee could be better. Location is in the heart of Japan town! That's rare. Mother approved and we will be coming back again!

    Service is really great and the staff are super attentive and sweet, so 5 stars for this!…read more But everything we ordered was below average (2 stars), especially considering the price. And the Spicy Calamari & Bulgogi was actually $20 higher (!!!) than what's listed on Yelp (no prices on website), so find this pretty misleading. It was also overcooked, so bummer all around. Took a chance on this Japantown fav and left wishing I'd purchased basically anything else there. Apparently I'm not alone, while all the other restaurants were bustling on a busy Sunday evening, this one was virtually empty.

That could be a good or bad thing depending on the vibe you are going for. All the dishes hit their mark for me. We got: Mulhwae: very refreshing white fish sashimi with refreshing greens, citrusy sauce and strawberries. I thought the strawberries added more to the presentation than the taste. However, the dish itself was delicious. Scallops and shrimp: Similar as above, a very refreshing light appetizer. I would get either this of the other because they're kind of the same idea. Potato fritter w/ mentaiko: probably my top 1 or 2 of the night. Think fancy hashbrown with creamy umami pollock row plus more crispy toppings. This is a must-have I would say. Soft tofu soup w/ galbi: I liked the theatrical element of pouring the home-grown soy from Oakland to create the tofu right in front of you. The umami broth and the jang make this dish very rich. Another must have! Pork jowl bossam: this was a delicious take on bossam. Smokey soft jowl. The greens and kimchi accompanied it made this dish taste so healthy while satisfying your craving. If you just love buttery soft tender meat, go for it. However if you like jowl because you like the chew/bounce on every bite, you might be disappointed because this meat is super soft! Drinks: matcha colada was a little too coconuttey for me. It kind of overpowered the taste of any matcha but if you like coconut, this is a perfect visually pleasing and sweet dessert cocktail. The lychee blossom had a pleasant taste of fruit and almost tasted like there was yogurutoo or calpico in it. I much preferred this drink and it was on the sweeter side too. Overall pleasant experience, worth taking some guests or a date. Also we got 4-5 dishes but left super full! We probably would've been fine with 1 or 2 appetizers less.

The portions were on the smaller side so had we ordered an extra dish or two, I think we would've been very full. We ordered about 3 appetizers, 3 mains and 3 desserts and it was just about perfect.

Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward. We were all cramped waiting on the stairway and the actual seating area is also fairly small for a busy KBBQ place/big parties. The 8 of us squeezed into a booth with 2 chairs on the side. You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out. We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy.

Its fermented cabbage has a strong, aromatic notes of garlic, ginger, and chili powder, which marries perfectly with our set lunch.
