    Ordered a variety of kimbaps for to-go. We got their kimchi, beef, tuna and spam. We thought the beef kimbap would be the best since it's the most original kimbap you could get but unfortunately, it lacked flavor in the meat. Didn't really taste like anything. The spam was probably the most disappointing one. Huge piece of spam in the rolls and the cheese felt out of place? The flavor of the roll was odd. The tuna kimbap was alright. The kimchi kimbap was probably the best out of the 4 flavors.

    Lately, I've been very into kimbap. However, I can be pretty picky about it in terms of what's inside. There's sooooo many options for what kind of kimbap you want. For me, I'm really into the beef kimbap. Kimbap Paradise has the best beef kimbap, in my opinion. The restaurant is located in Torrance, super close to my home. It's in a busy shopping center so there's plenty of parking. I easily just call in my order and pick it up. It's usually ready within 10/15 mins depending on how busy they are. I never dined in, but there's lost of seating inside to do so. If you're not a kimbap fan, they have many other Korean dishes to choose from.

    Stopped by for a light dinner and loved it! The tteokbokki + fried squid combo was on point Gimbap was tasty, jjolmyeon was solid. Clean space, decent service. Worth a visit if you're in the mood for Korean comfort food!

    This review is just for the kimbpab: The kimbpap for some reason was so salty. Every ingredient inside the roll was salty. The rice was salty and even the veggies were salty. It would have tasted so much better if they used less salt. I tried a few of their kimbaps. I tried the cheese kimbpap, beef kimbpap, egg Kimbap, and fishcake kimbpap. The Cheese Kimbpap was my least favorite. I thought it would have been more of melted cheese like mozzarella cheese or something else but I think it was American cheese and it wasn't melted. The best one I liked out of the four was their egg kimbpap. The eggs were seasoned and cooked well but only thing that would have made it better is less salt. But maybe it was just the day that I went since I don't think I remember it being like that before I have had their bimbpab a few years ago a few times I know my friends and I have ordered that a couple of times before Next time I come back I'd want to try some of their other dishes Note: They have plenty of parking spaces available They are located a few doors down from a karaoke place

    Shrimp Tempura Kimbap
    Andrew N.

    I've been looking for an upgrade to the kimbap that I usually get at the local korean supermarket. I've been to a few places in the area, but nothing really hit the spot compared to the quality I got when I was in Seoul last year. I got a double roll of the tempura shrimp kimbap. It was about a 10 minute wait since the rolls were made to order. After a 20 minute drive home, I ripped into it. This was amazing. The shrimp was still crunchy. Everything was fresh. I just found my go to spot for kimbap in the South Bay.

    Very small establishment but with a very welcoming staff. Very colorful ambiance. Their wall menu display is very large and visible making it easier to know what you are ordering. They also provide table menus for a more personal viewing. For the most part we were the main customers during the visit as other would come in to get their orders to go or the order would be an uber eats or Grubhub order. We were. Checked throughout our visit. The food was tasty and warming. Once were were ready to pay the cook came out and she packed our food for us, we didn't have to lift a hand. Portions were of good size so we had leftovers. I want to say o I saw their hours posted that they are open for a few hours on site days now as well. They also used more of a sterile utensils appeal with their cups and chopsticks. Check them out when your in the mood for Lorean food

    I decided to give this place another try after I read so many positive reviews. This time I got the Beef Bulgogi lunch box and I loved it! Very generous portion, tasty without being too sweet. 10/10, highly recommend. I'm not familiar with Kimbap, so I really had to look closely at the menu. Worth it. One complaint, the box wasn't microwave safe, it was just plastic. I ate it less than hot, but it was still yummy.

    Spam Kimbap
    Liz L.

    Placed a pick up order at Kimbap Paradise at 6:30pm and I was told the order would be available for pickup in 15 minutes. The order consisted of beef kimbap without the imitation crab and spam kimbap. Both kimbaps were made to order and fresh. Parking was easy to find right in front of Kimbap paradise. As I walked in, the lady asked me what I ordered and handed me my order right away. The service was fast with no hello or a greeting. The place has a couple of tables to grab a quick meal. I took my order to go. One order of kimbap is enough to share between two people. We ordered two kinds to try them both. Both kinds of Kimbap were delicious. This place also has all the typical Korean snack foods too. Will be back here again for the kimbap!

    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Lauren T.

    My friends & I decided to come here during the week for dinner! Being a picky eater, I was kinda worried about whether I'd find something on the menu I'd like. I ended up going with the kimchi fried rice. I'm usually not a fan of fried rice either, but it was pretty good! I loved the spice & the egg added a lot of flavor. I also asked for my cheese on the side to sprinkle on. The portions are HUGE! My friends got the kimbap & they also give a lot with one order. I think we arrived an hour before closing & we definitely seemed rushed by the workers. Just keep that in mind if you are deciding to come here!

    $1 miso soup

    I get it we live in the U.S but at a kimbap takeout spot serving mostly Korean customers, you'd think there'd be just a little generosity. We ordered $300 worth of food and kindly asked for some soup, you know, so we don't choke on the kimbap. But nope $1 per soup. Fine. But if you're going to charge, at least make it worth it! Instead, we got half a takeout cup of broth with two lonely green onion slices floating around like they lost their way. No tofu, no seaweed--just vibes. And that "Kimchi" fried rice? More like "Where's-the-Kimchi" fried rice. Every time we order, it's the same no actual kimchi just rice dressed up in red to trick us. Look, we understand that prices are going up but maybe cut costs somewhere else instead of skimping on basic ingredients. We all know kimbap can be a bit dry and yet only kimchi fried rice and jjolmyeon get soup included? So, if we have to pay for soup, maybe make it worth the price? Or at least pretend to have a conscience.

    I ordered the beef fried rice to go and I got only rice. There was no beef whatsoever. I was disappointed and will not be coming back.

    This place is an absolute local gem. Everytime I go it always hits. The fish is fresh, the portions…read moreare big, and the service is quick and easy. The ambiance is nice. Seating is first come first serve. You order at the front and then they give you a number. I ordered the salmon tacos this time around. The best part is that the place is so affordable. Good food, affordable prices, and fresh food.

    This is easily the worst service experience I have ever had…read more I placed an online order and drove over to pick it up, only to realize after leaving that they handed me someone else's food. That mistake forced me to waste 30 minutes driving all the way back to the restaurant. When I brought it back, there was zero apology. The female employee simply handed me another bag without saying sorry--and when I checked it, it was ANOTHER person's food for the second time in a single day. Instead of apologizing for wasting an hour of my time, she just stared at me blankly and shamelessly demanded my order number with a terrible attitude. I was completely speechless. If your staff cannot even perform the basic task of checking a customer's name on a pick-up order, they need serious re-training or should be reassigned to jobs that require zero brainpower. Furthermore, when your gross incompetence causes a customer to make two extra trips and waste 30 minutes, basic decency dictates that you offer a simple "I'm sorry." Management desperately needs to teach their employees basic manners and customer service 101.

Even after having fish tacos at a popular spot in Carlsbad, Jalisco Cantina, way south of here yesterday... I was compelled to write this about Fishbonz and how I truly enjoy having their salmon taco (rockin' shrimp too) Tuesday special with brown rice & grilled zucchini (corn & beans are great too)! Yes, it's all about the taste, generous portions (dependent on tip amount? It could be!=o), ample parking (including in front of this place) and fast service! Ambience is "tight & fast" but they have "outdoor seating" and a convenient bathroom. The "cheaper version" around the corner, Rubio's..., is 2 tiers lower in terms of taste, food quality, & portions. You truly get what you pay for. Wahoos on Torrance Avenue comes at close second but this Fishbonz serves the best fish tacos & sides... at a most reasonable price! Quality & Quantity at its finest... No need to go anywhere else. This will become your new favorite place!
