    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.

One thing I especially love is that they offer egg noodles with their pho rather than just rice noodles. I'm a ramen girl, so I've always preferred egg noodles, and honestly, they are the perfect combination with pho! A few of my favorites here are the chicken wings and crispy egg rolls, both are so good and make the perfect additions to my order. Another thing I really appreciate is that the broth isn't overly oily compared to some other pho spots. As I get older, I've become much more mindful of what I'm putting into my body, so I really appreciate a flavorful broth that doesn't leave you feeling like you just had a bowl of oil. Lol! If you're a pho lover who prefers egg noodles over rice noodles, definitely give this place a try. It's become one of my regular go-to spots, and I always look forward to my next bowl!

I've eaten here with my family and friends at least five times.

We stayed in K-Town this time so it was a bit of a drive but I didn't care! We went there for lunch buuuut!!! When we arrived, the restaurant looked very dark inside. One of the workers was outside cleaning the windows so we approached her and found out that the power was out. She said they had no idea when it would be back on. I was like, "Noooooo!!!" I had waited an entire year to have their ramen again! We stayed in Torrance for a while, hoping the power would come back but it didn't look like it would be restored in time for lunch so we decided to try again for dinner instead. We stayed in Torrance a little longer because we really didn't want to drive all the way back to K-Town and then drive down again. We went back right when they opened for dinner, hoping the power was back... and it WAS!!! I had originally planned to get the Chashu Ramen but since our lunch had been delayed, I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. So I ordered the same one I had last year, the Kitakata Ramen. The broth tasted just as good as I remembered! Unfortunately, though, the chashu was a little tough this time. I remembered it being that melt-in-your-mouth kind of tender so I was a little disappointed. (Maybe it was because of the power outage? ) But everything else was excellent! We'll be back in LA for our son's graduation in May next year so hopefully we'll get another chance to visit Ban Nai. And hopefully with no power outage!
