This is located inside the Whole Foods on the first floor. They also have an assortment is sushi available for purchase read more

Kimbap Lab - Spicy Pork Kimbap - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Simple and easy for on the go (or eat at whole foods). I was looking for a quick bite and just loved that this is near me. Sometimes you just want a simple roll instead of a salad and food bowls. This is located inside whole foods so you can place your order, go shop for groceries, and come back to pick up. read more

It's not really Kimbap, more like the Whole Foods take on it by stuffing it with ingredients found in a Vietnamese salad bowl. That being said the food is not too bad and has a nice fresh quality to it. It's located next to the pizza section right before you check out in Whole Foods. read more

Kimbap Lab - two trays of food on a table - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had to stop eating here after I got glutened. The staff tries to keep their cooking area clean but because there is a fresh baked pizza place parked right along side, with NO dividers and no separate entry/exits, there's going to be cross contamination. Whole Foods and Kimbap's owners need to do more if they're going to keep advertising this place as gluten free. read more

I used to live right near the Chelsea Market location, and since I moved, I'm so glad this location is in my delivery zone. You really can't go wrong here, but I usually go for the spicy pork bowl. read more

The line to have my rolls made wasn't very long, but it took quite a while (perhaps due to deliveries). The kimbap was better than I was expecting based on this being a place inside Whole Foods. It was a bit on the pricey end for the portion size, but it was played very nicely and had good flavor, so I won't complain there. read more

Kimbap Lab - a person holding chopsticks over a tray of food - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Finally, delicious and high quality kimbap in NY! Granted, it's overpriced compared to Korea, but I've had plenty of overpriced mediocre kimbap in the States. Instead, with Kimbap Lab, you are guaranteed a really fresh kimbap that not only tastes great but also doesn't skimp out on the ingredients. I saw that they had pre-made ones on display, but you can get them made to order, so unless you are in a hurry, definitely get your kimbap made fresh! I've had the tuna and the bulgogi and both are very good. I'm partial to tuna because that's always been my favorite type of kimbap, but bulgogi tastes great as well. You get to choose a dipping sauce and side of pickle for each kimbap. For sauce, I got the ssamjang aioli w the tuna and red pepper paste w the bulgogi. To be honest, I didn't need the sauce as the meat / tuna was seasoned well. Both the white radish pickle and kimchi were good. The man making my kimbap was super nice and really didn't hold back piling on the ingredients. The kimbaps are quite big as you can see in the picture. It's a perfect healthy lunch that fills you up. I hope they expand to the other Whole Foods in Manhattan! read more

Kimbap Lab - Tuna kimbap and bulgogi kimbap - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is inside the Whole Foods in case you're confused like I was lollll . But this was my first time trying this and it was so freaking delicious . Down the the pickled radishes and sauces . Ugh I enjoyed it so much . I had the mushroom Kimbap and my mom had the beef one . It was very delicious and also filling . A nice cheap lunch read more

Kimbap Lab makes kimbap refreshing! Unlike those places that stuff your kimbap with rice filler and oily meats and veg, Kimbap Lab has somehow mastered the crunchy refreshing bite. The roll has the perfect rice to meat to veg proportions! The rice is soft but firm speckled with sesame seeds, and seasoned just right! Gluten free and made with local ingredients, what's not to love? Chefs Wonil Lee and Sarah Lee have elevated Korean snack/picnic food to another level. This was a highlight to our Williamsburg trip! read more

A blessing to us gluten free pals. This location is INSIDE WHOLE FOODS - I looked around for a good 5 minutes before I figured it out. It's not the most authentic feeling since it's in a Whole Foods but that tends to happen when catering to specific allergies (grateful for that though). Bottom Line -- the meal made me happy!!! And the sauces and kimchi were great for spicing up the simple onigiri I bought. read more

As a Korean, Kimbap is one of those foods that you eat because you need a quick meal, not because it is particularly tasty. It's also one of those foods where you wouldn't really go out to eat it, and if a restaurant offered it, you would probably order something else from their menu. Kimbap Lab proved me wrong. I was actually impressed by their Kimbap, and I can't wait to try other offerings. I also tried their Janchi Noodle (anchovy broth noodles with veggies and meat), and it was not too bad. You must add the side pepper/sesame oil that comes with it to really get the full flavor. Although it's pretty expensive, I think it's worth a return trip if there's a craving. read more

I'm Korean and I'm so happy this place delivers to my area. This place is definitely my favorite go to kimpbap place. My favorite is tuna kimpbap. I love that kimpbap is full of fresh ingredients and use minimal rice. I also had spicy pork bibimbap which tasted great. You can also order banchans (side dishes) and I got jalapeño pickle which is a common Korean American side dish you get when you eat BBQ. Overall very satisfied with the quality of food and how authentic they taste. (Food taste more like what young Koreans like and slight less traditional flavors) read more

Recently I have been ordering out again for dinner because this heatwave is really just too much. My partner and I have lost: A mediterreanan place to a new chef who ain't good A pizza place due to price increases and pizza shrinkage A corner restaurant due to COVID business shuttering them A southern chicken spot that just doesn't slap burgers the same anymore. This turmoil brings me back time and again to kimbap lab Always consistent. Always good. Always fresh. Now delivered in a more timely manner than previously. Seriously bless this food. The wings! The kimbap! more please. read more

The easiest, most satisfying lunch delivery around. A pair of kimbap "triangles", supplemented with some kimchi from a jar in my fridge, is a lovely little break in the middle of a workday. The pickles and sauces are all delicious, I especially love the soy jalapeños and onions. Sure, it's expensive for kimbap, but it's seriously reasonable for lunch delivery in this area. So far, I've been loving the efficient kimbap area of the menu, but I'm planning to branch out sometime soon. :) I look forward to checking Kimbap Lab out in person when it's safer, too! read more

Finally more Korean joints in Brooklyn! I had the Yubu kimbap and absolutely loved it. It taste great after the time frame they recommended. I love how each piece has the same portion of ingredients so each bite taste exactly the same. read more

Kimbap Lab - Yubu - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cool option inside Whole Foods. For $14, the kimbap rolls are large and filling. Not authentic by any means, but it's a quick meal in the area! read more

Kimbap Lab seriously does NOT disappoint in terms of authenticity, nostalgia and taste. They use top-notch ingredients that are fresh and the rolls are created right in front of you! I haven't had kimbap in awhile, and I've been used to homemade rolls since my mom would make them all the time during my childhood. With that in mind, this place really does it right, and for the price you pay the amount of food is enough to fill you up. Presentation is beautiful, and aside from having the classic bulgogi (marinated beef) option, there are plenty of other mixes to choose from that range from seafood to vegan tofu. The kimbap here is the real deal guys, classic food true to Korean flavors but elevated ingredients and style. Only thing I'm upset about is the fact that so far, they're only located in the Whole Foods in Williamsburg (and I think it might be a pop-up). But I have huge expectations for the company getting big and possibly having their own storefront. Also kudos to Sarah who is the co-founder. Super dedicated in the company and welcoming by handing out samples and providing background on her venture and food! read more

I didn't expect it to be in a Whole Foods but it honestly was so good LOL. I'll definitely be going back. My only critique with the beef bulgogi Kimbap is that the flavor of the meat was overpowered by the vegetables and sauce in the roll and I couldn't appreciate its taste as much as I'd hoped. But good stuff. read more

First time trying Kimbap Lab. I had Bulgogi Kimbap with Ssamjang Aioli. $13 for Kimbap can be too much (normally you can get it for $6-8 in the city)... but totally worth to try! Their portion size is generous, very healthy and refreshing! highly recommend!! read more

I work nearby and have celiac disease so gluten free is a must, and the kimbap is a great, healthyish, flavorful, fast, yummy lunch option. I ordered a small order of the wings for delivery this weekend as well as the bibim guksu to branch out a bit and HOLY COW. The wings are insane and I couldn't believe no one is reviewing them. My husband and I are now planning a massive wing order next weekend. The bibim guksu was a a great side too - another great lunch option; I love a good noodle salad. read more

Amazing kimbap rolls served within this enormous Williamsburg Whole Foods' food Hall. Tightly rolled with very little wait time made with fresh and flavorful ingredients. You select a protein, pickles and sauce. The size (girth) is rather larger than your standard kimbap rolls so the pricing is in line with portion and geography. They traveled very well at room temperature on the road trip back home to North Carolina and were the perfect snack. read more

I am a Korean living in NY for 20 yrs, half of which living in Brooklyn. Two blocks away from WholeFoods, I come here often just to have their Kimbap. These are not usual Kimbap or something you can find anywhere else! First of all, they are all fresh and you can find that in your mouth. You will be able to see how they wrap the roll w/ fresh ingredients packed up in front of your eyes. Second, there is a good variety of sauces going beyond your imagination. Try 3 of them together, so you're not missing anything for next time. Lastly, Kimbap is a fingertip art, and you can't deny who is doing what. They are all great but I truly appreciate when the Korean lady owner does it so elegantly with those courteous smile, which makes you feel 10 times up. Just be there during the day or before 9 pm. Enjoy! read more

Quality Korean food! This is now my go to Korean food spot. Reasonable prices too. The kimchi tastes so fresh. Wish i ordered more. The bulgogi bibimbap was very satisfying. read more

Gluten-Free, Healthy, Clean and delicious? Sign me up! This place has some of the best kimbap ever and the menu isn't too overwhelming at all! Located in Whole Foods, they are now my go-to spot for kimbap because 2020, eat healthily and be healthy but if it's also delicious, why the heck not? This is just so damn delicious and don't get me started with their vegan seaweed puree! It is my favorite and the close 2nd is the spicy mustard aioli! I have had their bowls, kimbap and GUESS WHAT! VEGAN BROTH!!! Those who know me, know that I am NOT a vegan but their vegan broth is DELISH! It doesn't even taste vegan!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! The staff there are also incredibly nice and informative! WAY TO GO! I think they also opened their 2nd location at the CHELSEA MARKET, we all know DELICIOUS FOOD travel to the best places on earth!!! read more

Oh hell yessss. I dont have to trek my way to manhattan anymore for good kimbap! Finally a kimbap place in brooklyn that's legit. You know the kimbap is legit if they put perilla leaves in them! You cant get anymore korean than perilla leaves, bruh! I grabbed a tuna kimbap and took it to the waterfront and had a great introverted lunch! Will be back! read more

Kimbap Lab - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! Your eyes will be open to a feeling of healthy and hearty gluten-free satisfaction that is hard to find. I look forward to coming here after work to eat their kimbap rolls maybe once a week for months and the quality is always top-notch. For those who haven't tried kimbap, it's much heartier than sushi rolls, and instead of raw fish you can get marinated pork, beef, or all veggie, along with different kinds of dipping sauce. The roll is cut into bite-size pieces, which makes it convenient to eat. One roll is enough to fill you up and feel much more fulfilled than a typical sushi roll. For those who have tried other kimbap, I will tell you that this is next level. First, the size of the roll is much bigger than your typical Korean kimbap from a restaurant or Korean church :P. They also put in a ton of meat and have different tasty sauces and a side of kimchi or pickled onions to make it a full meal. The veggies are super fresh and I promise you won't regret it! read more

I'm Korean, and this is the best Kimbap I have ever tasted! It was delicious, flavorful, and fresh. There was a thin layer of rice (as opposed to a thick layer at most low-quality places), and the kimbap was packed with high quality ingredients. Each kimbap was sliced to the perfect size so that I could eat it in one bite. Just wow. Well done and perfectly executed. I used to dislike eating kimbap growing up because my mom would always by the cheap stuff at supermarkets, but now I can't stop thinking about it! read more

So awesome to have a quick and yummy Korean lunch in Brooklyn! The kimbap is made with generous portions of meat, and it's made so nicely that not only is it delicious to eat (especially with the sauces), but it is so appetizing to look at! So sad I moved out of Brooklyn. Would be here all the time it I was close! The best part is that they use quality ingredients and no-hormone meat, unlike other Korean kimbap you find elsewhere. Worth the price and I can feel good about eating it and feeding it to my daughter. This is the cleanest kimbap you'll find around. Highly recommend! Wish they would expand so it would be available at the Whole Foods near me now! read more

Great kim bap take out shop by a famous Korean chef inside Wholefoods Williamsburg. Usually korean kim baps sold at take out shops in ktowns are just okay. They are okay to eat, but never that impressive, it's just kimbap. But this place doesn't hold back on any meat or veggies. They put so much quality ingredients that they are so huge, one doesn't fit in a mouth. It may seem expensive at first, but the portions are ridiculously huge and it comes out with 2 sauces, so I think the price is very reasonable. It's a little bit heavier than normal kimbaps but I found it to be amazing. We tried the spicy tuna and the spicy pork ones. They were outstanding. Must-try! read more

OMGGGGG this is the first gluten free Korean spot I've ever found AND they have vegan options clearly marked?!! I got the Yubu roll, Janchi Noodles, and the Triangle Kimbal roll (essentially yubu onigiri ) and everything I ordered was delicious. The pickles are always my favorite part of bibimbap and Kimbap's soy pickled onion and jalapeño were so good on everything I can't wait to eat there in person and in the meantime I'm so glad they deliver to Bushwick everything was packed and delivered neatly and beautifully, I'll take a pic next time... read more

Kimbap Lab - Amazing Bulgoggi beef kimbap with ssamjang sauce and onion pickles - Korean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They make their kimbap with care - and it shows. Went with spicy pork + their suggestion of spicy mustard sauce. They toss a ton of stuff in there - really finely julienned veg, pickled radishes - and they roll it up right, with even distribution, (soy?) glaze on top and a rice gluten bind. Very decent sized portion. Bangin' taste read more

Really great. Will definitely order again. I have celiac and it was great to eat Korean food with out the worry of getting sick

Best Kimbap ever, eating it for a year now and never getting tired of it. Also the spicy pork bibimbap bowl with white rice is the bomb. Very filling, I wish I could bring it to Korea so my family can taste it :) read more

I tried this place when I needed something quick to eat and was pleasantly surprised! It had all the check marks of things I was skeptical of: 1) Korean food in Williamsburg? 2) Healthy and inside Whole Foods? It was actually delicious, good portion, and satisfying. Pricey for a kimbap roll but totally worth it when you don't have time to go to K-town for a Korean craving. I made my pretty traditional (beef, Korean radish side, with gochuchang sauce). Will be back soon! read more
