Ordered from GH, since it's still wet and rainy outside some. Ordered 2 spicy chicken Kimbap, 2 tuna salad and cheddar Kimbap, mushroom and avocado Kimbap. $92, that's $15 a roll, not cheap at all. The delivery is coming by bike as well. He was blocks away and made a pit stop on the way to us. Food was supposed to be delivered by 5:40 PM. The food arrived by 5:56 PM or so. The Kimbaps were delivered about 15-20 minutes after the estimated delivery time. It's a good thing the food isn't necessarily hot. No utensils and no chopsticks and no napkins. Does this place think people are Neanderthals? The Kimbap pieces are full of ingredients and nicely balanced. The spicy chicken and the mushroom and avocado aren't my favorite. Neither of us wanted more than a couple pieces of the veggie Kimbap. The tuna salad isn't even that good. Disappointing for $92." It's a hefty cost for subpar Kimbap.
They are located downstairs in Chelsea Market inside of Pearl River Mart Foods. They also have some tables right outside the store for their guests so perfect for when the weather isn't the best to eat outside. They also have quick service here. Love they have vegan options that are tasty! They are a bit expensive but a lot of things in Chelsea Market are. Everything in the mushroom avocado bowl was fresh which is great and you can chose from a sauce and a pickled item to have on the side with the bowl. Also tried the yuba rice balls which were tasty but honestly I'd just do the bowl in the future as the value is better for those in my opinion!
I never had kimbap before and tried the beef bulgogi with the side of kimchi. This was very tasty and had a great crunch from the pickled radish on the inside. The beef was cold which I did not expect. I would have given this a 5 if the beef was warm and not fridge cold. It came with their KBL sauce which is a slightly sweet aioli which went very well with the kimbap. The gentleman taking my order was very friendly and had a smile on his face.
Delicious and fresh kimbap in Chelsea market. Perfect place to pop in for a snack and shop around! Get myself a book and enjoyed a little munchie in the center of it all. A great place to people watch and an even better place for foodies to try a bunch of different items in one area of NY!
Super simple yet nutritious comfort food! Kimbop is my absolute comfort korean food. They just opened in Pearl River mart inside Chelsea market so i had to come try. Ordered bulgogi beef kimbop and it tasted just like homemade. I substituted for brown rice and it was a good choice. Comes w slightly sweet and sour mayo based gogujang sauce to dip you kimbop. It was really good! Loved that it also comes with pickled onion. Def want to come back to try other options duch as tuna and cheese and yubu! Highly recommend!
Great if you're in the area and craving kimbap. Wish they had more by way of sides (soup? tteokbeokki? just some ideas) but solid quality. Grab yourself a drink from the fridge nearby or some bubble tea at tea and milk to go with your meal. BULGOGI BEEF KIMBAP Pretty on par with what we know and love as authentic kimbap but I do notice an improvement in quality; particularly, the vegetables have a really fresh crunch and texture to them. The sauce goes real well and the pickled jalaepno w onions is FIRE. It was sesame forward and really a good highlight for the dish. Great to go and walk a bit to the rooftop park nearby and catch a view of the city while you munch of this light lunch. For many, kimbap is a good budget meal, though understand here you are in Chelsea Market and in Manhattan so the price point will be higher.
I don't think I'd really had Kimbap before - basically sushi rolls of korean meat (chicken, spicy pork, bulgogi beef). But damn were these good. And so filling for the price. Would totally get this again. I got the gochujang chicken roll and my wife got the bulgogie beef rolls. Both were so full of flavor - some spiciness but not much really and the radishes in each cut through the spice. The sides were a bit forgettable, but the rolls were so large you didn't need the sides. I also really loved all the sauces - the gochujang sauce was a little bit sweeter than most gochujang but also a little but thinner, more liquidy so it made for an excellent dipping sauce. Would totally get this again.
Tasty. Filling. Surprisingly big proportions. I ordered thinking this was just for a snack. Best to get Kimbap and share with friends.
I got the mushroom avocado kimbap with pickled radish and the seaweed purée and my friend got the spicy pork bowl. We both enjoyed our meals and I would've gotten the beef bulgogi if my stomach wasn't feeling off that day. The kimbap was definitely too dry without a more liquid sauce on it as the seaweed purée was more of a paste consistency and they apparently don't have soy sauce to put on top. If I came again I would've tried a different roll but based just on the mushroom avocado roll, it was only okay. Also I feel like it should've cost less for having 0 protein in it,
Amazing meal! I ordered the Kimbap Spicy Chicken and OMG - what a great lunch! A little pricy but a good sized meal and very filling. Clearly a freshly made meal and very busy, showing how popular it is. I definitely recommend if you're in the Chelsea market area!
Kimbap was great, exceeded expectations. Had this during lunch and we all were satisfied. Lot of good options here if you come with a group. Would recommend. Only complaint is they refuse to give a cup of water - you have to buy bottled... However, I think many spots in Chelsea Market are unfortunately the same way.
I've since tried the spicy pork roll, which was even better than the beef imo (and not too spicy). The spicy mustard aioli is also my new favorite sauce. Korean taco (bulgogi beef) was great, too. Dan does it all and he is the best!!
Perfect quick lunch spot! Located in the basement level of Chelsea market this place serves wonderful quick eats. I got the chicken kimbap recommended by the employee helping with my order and loved it! For $14 it's quite a bit pricier than you can typically find kimbap but it's convenient location in the Chelsea market is to blame. The roll is huge and actually really filling for a meal! The chicken has a little kick and the aioli given on the side really makes the meal! The side of kimchi is also a nice touch. Service is friendly and quick (less than 10 min wait). There's 2 small tables just outside but the market gets super busy so it might be best to grab to go or to take the park!
Definitely prefer the bowls over the kimbap. The kimbaps were dry and bland but the bowls were delicious ! I ordered the spicy chicken and my boss ordered the bulgogi. Both were delicious and would definitely order again. The order process was quick and seamless. Recommend for the bowls. read more
Hidden takeout spot located in the lower level, at the corner inside of an Asian goods store. There are 3 other small counters for other items but the signs ontop help you find where to order. I got the kimbap rolls ($13.50), with choices on what meat you want. There's bulgogi beef, spicy pork or chicken, tuna salad and cheese, yubu tofu and mushroom avocado. I picked marinated beef bulgogi, which came in a large roll and were cut into sushi-sized pieces. I like that it's larger than typical sushi. It also came with carrots, cucumbers, rice, and seaweed. I liked it. It felt worth the price for a light lunch or snack. It comes freshly packed in a tray so there was a bit of a wait. You get a beeper that beeps when your food is ready!! I got a spot from one of the many tables out in the market area. read more

I found this place to be a tad overpriced for the portion of the food, but the gentleman behind the counter was helpful and accommodated me the best he can so I'm going to look over that. Pearl River Mart as a Chinese goods store can be expensive in general for what are gentrified Chinese goods so I guess this is to be expected. The food is fresh and considered to be standard Korean food. You can find food like this anywhere Korean street food is sold. For location and convenience, I can see how this place can be appealing. read more

Located downstairs in the Chelsea Market is Kimbap Lab with other restaurants and the store. The staff was very friendly and patient as we weren't sure what to order. They made us recommendations which we listened. We tried the chicken and a beef one. Perfect temperature and size for a good snack food. read more
OMG this place was phenomenal!!! I wish I had one of these in Atlanta because I would be here at least twice a week (and I actually went here twice on this trip, once at. The Chelsea Market location and also the Williamsburg location). It is so hard to find good GF Asian food and near impossible to find Korean, but this place delivered. I had the beef bulgogi bowl both times and it did not disappoint. It was loaded with flavorful beef that was cooked perfectly, perfect al debts veggies and just enough rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Literally heaven in a bowl. The Chelsea Market location is downstairs in an Asian Market, so if you don't know what you are looking for it can be hard to find. The Williamsburg location is in the Whole Foods. At both locations the food came out super fast which is great if you are in a hurry (it starving like I was ). read more

Great gluten free food options in Chelsea Market! Greeted by a friendly staff member at the cash register who assisted with taking my order. I got the bulgogi beef kimbap and it was full of fresh flavors. I wish the sauce was a little spicier, but I still enjoyed it. The kimbap is a large portion which I really appreciate. read more

I've been here 3 times (literally every time I go to Chelsea Market, I order something from here unless it's closed). it's such a great snack/ small meal and is v worth the price! each time I've been here, I'm greeted by the same man who takes my order and is super sweet! he tells me which sides go well with the filling for the kimbap I've chosen and I am never disappointed! the last time I came, they accidentally marked my order as completed so I waited maybe less than 10 extra minutes, which wasn't really a problem for me. when they found out this happened, he offered me an extra side and sauce for free! the kimbaps are amazing and I will def return when I go to chelsea market again! read more

I really enjoyed kimbap lab! The man working the counter was very kind, I got my food quickly, and it was really delicious! I got the kimbap roll with chicken and it was a great meal. It was a little confusing to find though - it is in chelsea market, bottom floor, inside the pearl river mart food area. I would absolutely come again. read more
