    3. Spicy Tuna Kimbap / 매운 참치 김밥
    Julie H.

    Annnd I'm back again. $30 for 2 orders of spicy tuna Kimbap. Can't beat the quality and price!

    This is where i go when i want kimbap made by aunties and ummas because i cannot for the life of me roll a nice kimbap and i am okay with this personal cooking flaw, this inability of mine to prepare a deceptively simple korean staple food as a korean person, because i can just go to kimbap paradise and order 10 slices for myself for a quick meal, or order their kimbap party tray that i would never lie about by telling my crowd of course i made these for them, no, it was made by the loving hands of the nice agassis at kimbap paradise. There are only a couple tables inside and none outside so definitely order ahead for takeout. Tell the kind ladies hello and thank you, bless their hard working hands that rolled your beautiful kimbap for you.

    kimbap is good but i don't think it's worth of the price around $16. service was quick. it's a small place with lots of parking. overall, not bad but not sure if i would get it again.

    Great tasting kimbap which is made to order with fresh ingredients. I ordered the beef kimbap, my go-to kimbap, and it did not disappoint. My only gripe is the price. $15 for kimbap is kinda wild. Historically, at least in Korea, kimbap has always been known to be cheap and reserved for the broke person who is looking for a quick meal on a tight budget. This price doesn't fit that description at all. With that being said, I would come back here to satisfy my kimbap craving with no hesi.

    I picked up a box of beef Kimbap as a snack today. It was freshly made. $14 They do offer inside seatings with a few tables and chairs. Friendly service. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    I've been on the hunt for a kimbap restaurant that tastes like the kimbap I had when I visited Korea, and this place is definitely it. The flavors taste authentic and really reminded me of what I had there. The vegetables are all seasoned perfectly. This is easily my favorite kimbap spot right now, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving kimbap.

    It was my first time here, and after hearing great things, I decided to order a party tray of kimbap for a work function and it was a hit! My Korean colleague even said it was one of the best she's had, and I completely agree. I called ahead to place the order and got three flavors (vegetable, beef, and tuna), two of each, for a total of six rolls. All were delicious, but the tuna was my personal favorite. The lady who took my order was so friendly and patient, and when I came to pick it up, she was just as warm and welcoming in person. The shop itself is small with just a couple of tables, so you can also sit down and enjoy your kimbap right away if you'd like. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Ordered the spicy pork kimbap and it was great! Very flavorful meat and the rest of the vegetables were fresh. The bulgogi kimbap here also tastes amazing. They filled the kimbap very full as well and did not skimp on the ingredients. I ordered my order for takeout as the seating is a bit limited, however parking is ample in the large lot. Would come back!

    This small shop is located in what seemed to me to be a plaza full of other Korean shops. I was very surprised. The store sign says 'KBOP TOP 10'. I happened to be in the area and heard a lot of good things about this place so I thought I'd stop by. The staff were very nice and they had a family kind of dynamic. Kimbap is made fresh. I got the bulgogi kimbap. There are 18 pieces in one order. The shop is small with only a few tables. I'm on the fence about this place. The kimbap was okay. I wasn't blown away by it. I don't know if it usually comes with any sauces or not but I felt like it was missing something. For ppl who like kimbap, my all time favorite is still Chan Chan. I don't think I will be coming back here as it is quite a drive from where I am.

    Kimbap here is really delicious and hits the spot! They have a variety of flavors. We ordered the beef, tuna, and shrimp. The sauce it comes with is super delicious (tastes sort of like wasabi flavored). They also offer party trays for bigger events!

    Doreen B.

    4 only because of the confusing signage. It looks like KBOP Top 10, but it's actually K Bop Top 10 Kimbap Paradise. If you ever wondered what authentic kimbap tastes like. This is the place. So good, fresh, and a ton of selection. Not in the mood? They have ramen, tteoboki and lots of other sides like cheesy fried rice. You'll also find some unique beverages to go with your

    17. Spicy Pork Bugogi Kimbap /
    Natalie N.

    My favorite Kimbap place! It's always made fresh to go and the ladies are so sweet here! The spicy pork and spicy tuna mayo are def spicy but also my two faves here. I love how there's soo many options and combos to choose from and it's worth the price for the amt of rolls you get. I always cater this for my parties and it's a big hit. Not much sitting area but it's more of a grab and go place.

    3. Spicy Tuna Kimbap / 5. Sesame Leaf Kimbap
    Jessica J.

    Perfectly down to earth and high quality boonsik Korean restaurant. They make their gimbap so well. Rolled nice and tight with no gaps and FILLED with fresh ingredients while minimizing rice. (It's seen as cheap/a filler ingredient by Koreans if a place puts too much rice). One order of gimbap basically gets you 1.5 standard roll equivalent. We ordered 2 since there were two of us and we were nice and full, and we came hungry! There's a few seats inside you can use if you want to eat there. I haven't tried their other dishes so can't say much about those but this place lives up to their name.

    Festive!

The pork jowl and pork belly are DIVINE - clearly high quality.

Tangy pickled or fermented veggies, sweet pineapple, mushrooms, and soups help cut through all that richness from the fat. The pork and kimchi soup especially hits - it's super comforting and balances out the meal. This is also a great alternative if you're craving BBQ but don't have the stomach space for AYCE. These portions leave us full and satisfied every time. Overall, an amazing spot for a casual, pork-centric feast!

I barely had to touch them before the meat was basically falling off the bone. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor without being overly salty (which is a blessing to enjoy the flavor). We also ordered the pork cutlet on the side, and honestly, the portion was massive for like a quick lunch. Crispy, filling, and definitely enough to take leftovers home! The banchan was simple but solid too, especially the big slices of cucumber and daikon, along with pieces of pancake on the side. The atmosphere is very down-to-earth with Korean signage and an artsy wall, no fancy décor or over-the-top presentation. Service is straightforward and efficient. You're not here to be pampered. You're here for hot, delicious comfort food done right.

    Man was I surprised by this one!…read more Dawa Kitchen is a delicious spot nestled in the corner of the plaza. FOOD: The Katsu Curry is easily the best deal on the menu for sharing. For $25 you get a huge chicken katsu with curry pairing. The katsu was crispy, hot, and fresh when it came out. Very tasty! The curry itself is good, but doesn't have the same punch of flavor as other curry katsu places. Still good though! This dish could definitely feed 2 people. We also opted for the Ddeokbokki. This dish had great flavor and the rice cakes were cooked perfectly! Just as a heads up, if you are used to Ddeokbokki having extra's like fish cake and cheese, this does not come with it unless added. Overall, for value and flavor this is great! PARKING: Parking is tight in the complex and I would recommend getting there early just in case there's none available. WAIT/AMBIANCE: This place was packed when we arrived with a clear waitlist of 5+ parties. Try to get on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time to make sure you get seated in a timely manner. You can also look to make a reservation as that was also faster for me! Overall ambiance is good, and the restaurant was playing some Justin Bieber! DRINKS: For a casual dining place we opted to get soju and a beer as it was $10 per bottle. Also not too bad of a deal to pair with your meal! Overall would recommend this place!

I've been once…read morebefore, but I'm still very much in the "watch the people next to me and copy their homework" phase of the experience. The meal starts with what feels like an endless lineup of little side dishes, a fried fish, rice in a scorching hot stone bowl, and then the bubbling tofu soup (medium spice for me) arrives like it's angry at the table. I ordered the bulgogi combo (C2) and everything was flavorful, comforting, and honestly just fun to eat. OK maybe a few too many onions for me. The stone pot rice situation was an adventure on its own. They ask you if you want them to pour hot water into the bowl to loosen the crispy rice stuck to the sides. I tried it. Felt very authentic. Still not fully convinced my rookie self handled it correctly, but we survived. What I liked most was the atmosphere and adventure. You can tell this place has a loyal following and there's a reason Yelp absolutely loves it. It feels authentic without being intimidating, and the portions are no joke. I took home enough leftovers for round two the next day. If you've only done Korean BBQ before, this is a completely different experience and definitely worth trying. Bring friends, come hungry, and don't be afraid to look a little confused your first time. Apparently that's part of the experience. Easy 5 stars for me. P. S. Quick shout out to the wait staff they are super attentive, smiling, and helpful. Maybe they could sense my menu awkwardness
