Beef Kimbap
Carlo G.

The beef kimbap from here was pretty good. I like that there was a generous amount of meat stuffed in the kimbap and that the meat was flavorful. It also didn't feel too rice heavy which I liked. Each tray was good enough for two meals, so pretty solid. I would come back to try their other menu items and kimbap flavors.

Shirley W.

Needed a quick meal before an event and thank goodness this was close by! Also there were plenty of free parking spots available on a weekday evening. I ordered in advance in case to avoid the wait and my order was right at the cashier. Quick to pick up! The restaurant was also very spacious with plenty of tables. I ordered the stir fry fish cake kimbap and honestly the portion and the price was a pretty good value ($10)! I would say that the kimbap could be more flavorful, but definitely very easy and healthy to have. Maybe could have used more sesame oil? Nice experience overall!

Marina S.

My absolute favorite when I am in a rush. Service is fast whether you are dinning in or taking out. I usually take out and it is perfect every-time. Seating is a bit on the smaller side but it is never too packed. Food is always fresh and tasty. My favorites are the spam and crab roll and shrimp tempura. A full order comes with two pieces so make sure you specify if you only want one roll.

Fish cake w $1 add on sesame leaf.
J'aime K.

Ordered their fishcake with $1 add on (sesame leaf) to go. It was pretty solid. I love how they give you extra slices of pickled daikon. It's a great value, 2 rolls for about $10.50 + tax. While waiting for them to make it, I saw on their TV screen they had so many homestyle dishes (Bunshik). - I will definitely go back and dine in to try it all

We ordered takeout: Tuna kimbap x 2 rolls ($10.50) Pork cutlet kimbap x 2 rolls ($14.00) Fishcake kimbap x 2 rolls ($9.50) All kimbap has its own unique flavors, giving us surprise. Even our kids love every bite of it! I wish they have another location closer to Chino Hills.

Tuna kimbap
Michelle T.

If you come here order kimbap. I tried the beef and tuna kimbap. The beef was better, in my opinion. The tuna tasted lemony. I also tried the rice cakes with cheese but it was not good. It tasted overcooked and dry. It was nice that the staff provided soup and side dishes. Parking was free. There's a security guy making sure you are a customer. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses in the plaza.

Food: The fishcake kimbap is huge! It was about $9 and we were shocked how much was in one order. The roll tasted so fresh! The sweet and sour chicken was also great, we thought it paired really well with the kimbap. We only ordered two items and were so full, we're excited to return to try their other items! Parking: There's a free parking lot in the plaza but it can get crowded fast. There's surrounding metered and neighborhood parking.

Tuna and smoked beef Kimbap.
Juliana T.

Kimbap Paradise has become my go to place for Kimbap when I pass through town. I love that they offer a variety of Kimbap combinations, my favorites so far being tuna and smoked beef. Yom! I've also tried a couple of other dishes. They did not disappoint. And in the land where there more parking garages than parking lots, I also appreciate sliding in and out and getting on my way easily. Kimbap makes the best roadtrip snacks!

If you're craving Korean food this is the place. The parking lot does have plenty of parking but I did go late at night so there was plenty of sitting and parking. I ordered the spicy rice cakes with ramen noodles and cheese and it was so good. The sauce has enough flavor and it was not too spicy! I also order the bulgogi kimbap and it was so huge, it could feed 2-3 people comfortably! They were both delicious! Absolutely coming back.

Thank you Jim Kimbap Restaurant is seriously one of those spots you end up craving the second you leave. Everything was very fresh, the place was spotless, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. I had the kimbap and a few other dishes, and every bite was packed with flavor--simple but done perfectly. It's the kind of Korean food that is satisfying not overly heavy but still super satisfying. You can taste that everything is made with care. Honestly, it's hard to find places that are this clean, consistent, and delicious all at once. Definitely coming back again.

Why on earth would you put the shikhye inside the bag without it being sealed? I got home to find that the entire drink leaked inside the bag getting all over my car seat and just overall ruining the entire experience. Why the hell would they think it's okay to put this in here instead of just handing it to me? It's not a soda can or a bottle it's not even sealed! Management needs to do better because this is literally a nightmare. UPDATE: After I contacted the restaurant, a staff member apologized and provided a complimentary kimbap. I appreciate that they listened to my concern and made an effort to make things right.

Favorite kimbap spot for three reasons: - I always get the fried shrimp. It comes with the lemony sweet creamy sauce. Tastes fantastic. - They can make it without rice (usually more vegetables) - Easy parking in a lot You can dine there or order ahead online to go. There can be a bit of a wait though either way but I know they are making it fresh to order! One two roll order is good for a light to medium meal (w/o rice).

Needed a few kimbap to go. When I got there, there is a wall up kiosk to order takeout. Simple to use and also tells you how long it will take for your order. While waiting, saw that they have a busy take out business and also delivery. Order was ready in the upper end of the time given. Fresh, made to order, and enough for a lunch. Presented well in the to go box. Had the fish cake kimbap and the shrimp kimbap. Both were tasty and perfect ratio of rice to ingredients. Definitely one of the best in the K-town area.

Does anything here contains nuts?

Is it possible to customize tteokbokki to be vegan?

The teokkbokki has no meat but the soup base has beef stock.

Gluten free options?

Unfortunately we don't have gluten free options.

What are the vegan options on the menu?

Most of our menu can be customized. We highly recommend bibimbap without meat and egg if you have just started experiencing Korean food. Also, curry is vegetarian.… 

Do they have outdoor seating?

I don't think so :(

Do they use any delivery service?

They do. Grub Hub if I remember / recall.

I called since yesterday. their phone is disconnected. did they close?

No, I was just there on Saturday and they were open and no signs that they would be closing.

The valet parking at the tiny mall was also a big help with the crazy crowds. We ordered Tokbokgi to share and then moved onto our entrees- spicy pork bulgogi, kimchi kalguksu, and chicken kalguksu, and the portions were HUGE! Even the adults and teens couldn't finish their meals. We packed most of it home, and the leftovers made for delicious meals the next day. Great food, generous portions, and definitely worth the wait!

The lot is a little emptier now that Sun Nong Dan moved out, but I HATE that they've also started running effectively a parking valet scam as well (aka bring cash in your car and you must hand the keys over). Food is still banging though. Bossam was a little blander than I remember, but it's still perfectly tender, sliced uber thin, and great balance between lean and fatty cuts. Naengmyeon broth is peak with the depth from the beef bones and sweetness as well. Perfectly chewy noodles and the serving size is huge!

If you love classic, traditional Korean food, it's easy to be skeptical of fusion spots but wow,…read moreDanbi completely blows me away every time! They've mastered the art of keeping Korean flavors while dropping in modern twists that totally elevate every dish. The braised galbi served on a spread of mashed potatoes with various mushrooms is a total masterpiece. The zabuton is also one of my favorites if you like an asado and plenty of garlic. The golden chicken nuggets with seaweed powder on top are so perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I have to admit the corn cheese egg rolls are probably my favorite thing on the menu, something as simple like a mozzarella stick type of appetizer just really hits it for me. And one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The staff is always so nice every time. They're attentive and honest with us if we are over-ordering. The ambiance is elite, even after renovation. Danbi is an absolute gem in Ktown. It's the perfect spot show off the city to out-of-town guests or for an incredible night out. 10/10 recommend!

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

Boy was it a great spot to stop by for dinner. Ordered: Army Stew $46- lots of sausage/hot dog, i wished there was a bit more ramen but thats because there was way more toppings than noodles in my opinion. I'm glad that they didn't charge a lot but gave less ingredients. Braised Short Rib $54- tender, a bit sweet, and be prepared to use your hands to grab the ribs. Prices are a bit high but its big and sharable. And unlimited banchans, although I was a bit sad that they ran out of fish cake. My kiddos love fish cake and I had to be the bigger person to let them be the ones to eat it. The cucumbers were delish and the staff cooks the food for you and serves you. I definitely see myself coming back here. I really enjoyed the food and so did my husband. Everything is well seasoned and fully packed/loaded. This Yelper gives this spot 2 thumbs up. Tips: *Private lot shared with other businesses (valet) or street parking. *Credit card accepted *Restroom available. *Great for big or small parties. *Staff speaks limited English and Korean. *They charge for to go boxes. *18% gratuity is added to parties of 4+. *Happy Hour 7 days a week 2-5pm for alcohol *No white rice only purple rice

Good portions and so comforting at a great price point. Stir fry pork leans sour from the kimchi; tteokbokki "less spicy" was still solidly spicy but the chew was amazing. Oxtail didn't taste too beefy but was still very flavorful. They only let us get three rounds of banchan before they said we weren't allowed to get anymore????? Like is that not the best part of Korean food?? Chef Kang also has some other spots around Ktown and apparently he started as a mortgage broker / home cook according to LAT. It was empty at 6 and we were kind of concerned about it (because what popular restaurant is empty at dinner hour on Saturday!) but people started streaming in at around 6:30!
