If you're in the mood for some authentic kimbap, I recommend you to give this place a try. It is a grab and go as there is not enough room to sit and enjoy. Mom and pop locations, run by a very nice lady. Food tastes fresh and genuine. Lady recommends to call in with order or you may have to wait about 5 minutes for her to make your fresh rolls. There is other items on the menu you may want to try. read more

This is the best kimbap ever! We have tried kimbap from numerous places, including Korea. There is a great selection with fresh ingredients made to order. The owner, Sunny, is so nice and gracious. She works nonstop - doing everything herself. Best to call your order in ahead of time since she stops taking orders well before the 3 pm closing due to high demand. If you like kimbap, you have to try this! read more

Kimbap Plus is a true diamond in the rough! Driving past this area, one would never imagine SO much quality, friendliness, and warmth. Tucked just off of Young and Ke'eamoku, beneath a non-descript, walk-up business complex, Kimbap Plus would not be a place I would randomly walk-in without strong intentions (unlike something in the Salt or Waialae area where we would be comfortable just taking a chance on a whim). Today, wifey and I felt a craving for Kimbap. Having tried a handful of Kimbap offerings over the years being a fan of Korean comfort food, the idea of a place specializing in Kimbap was very intriguing. After looking at photos and reviews of Kimbap Plus we knew this was a must try! With expectations high and mouth's in anticipation we proceeded without hesitation despite some questions about the surrounding area. Easily finding parking in the open parking area, we approached the tiny shop entrance. Although the exterior of the building was not the most welcoming, all things changed upon entering! Even having already been open for 2+hrs by the time we arrived, little aunty was still hard at work crafting her kimbap. Bright, clean, and charming, the space will win your heart and fill your olfactory senses with the unmistakable aroma of homemade goodness. Aunty greeted us so sweetly, reminding me of the welcome we would receive when walking into grandma's house as a kid. With barely enough room for more than the two of us in the shop, aunty's aura made us feel at ease and at home, not a small task in a tight space! We chose the fishcake kimbap, the shrimp tempura kimbap (recommended by aunty), and a fried mandoo set before hurrying home to have lunch. As you would guess, all expectations were exceeded. Each ingredient was seasoned with care, placed in the rolls with precision, sliced and displayed with the customer's visual enjoyment in mind, and packaged lovingly. I have to assume that the mandoo was all handmade given the skillful texture of the filling; seasoning was spot on, and each mandoo piece was expertly wrapped. All this for $24??!! This is one of those places that deserves a much bigger spotlight and the embrace of every food lover! How this one lady has the energy to work 6 days a week and produce at such a high level all on her own is nothing short of inspirational. Having celebrated one year at this location in January 2026, I hope she enjoys recognition for her passion and a much-deserved success! read more

Made to order fresh and delicious kimbap!! Umma runs a one man show so there's a little bit of wait if you didn't preorder... but all her creations are amazingly yummy!! Highly recommend!! But the most impactful thing was not just her wonderful kimbap. Umma has a heart of gold! While waiting for my order, a houseless person came in asking for something to drink; Umma dropped everything and graciously offered drinks and a bit to eat no charge! When I asked her why, she smiled and said, "part of why I'm here is to help others..." God bless her!! We will be back again and again! read more

The best kimbap I have ever had!!! I am now a regular who comes at least once a month.

This was my first time trying this place and it was so delicious! I ordered the shrimp Kimbap, Tuna Kimbap, Green Smoothie and fried mandoo. Everything was so delicious! It's such a beautiful, cute and warming environment. The owner "Sunny" was so sweet! She is very accommodating and puts passion into her food. I would honestly come here just to see her because she's the sweetest lady ever!! The decorations and environment is very esthetic. Although she just opened, they have a lot of customers coming in and picking up. I suggest you come here and taste this delicious food! It's such a reasonable price for the amount of food! The Kimbap is packed to the max, it's not stingy rolls. So you really get your moneys worth! This is not really a sit down and eat because it's so small but it's a really good on the go for lunch! I will suggest though to order your food ahead of time because since it's just her and she gets a lot of orders it's easier for her to get it prepared before you come. Because she doesn't like when you have to wait, that's how sweet and considerate she is! I can't wait to come here again!!! Thank you Sunny!! read more

Such a cute hole in the wall!! We came here for the kimbap. Please call them ahead of time so you don't have to wait for your order. They make everything by the order so that means it's FRESH!! She fills the kimbap generously so this is our new go-to spot to pick up a snack for the golf course. The parking here is a little tight so the earlier you go in the day, it's easier to score parking. read more

For my notes: The kimbap was really good and it's convenient to just be able to grab and go. Açaí bowl wasn't bad and there's a lot of fruits too. Restaurant is really small so you can't really eat in. The lady who made it was really nice. Probably better to call in orders so you don't have to wait. read more

I went to Kimbap Plus for the first time about a month ago. I was the first one waiting before they opened. There is ample parking in the front, the store is cozy. The owner is a sweet Korean lady. It was during Christmas season so she had the area decorated and was playing Christmas Oldies. I ordered the ham one and the tuna one. I bought the ham for my friend and I had the tuna one! It seems like the tuna had cheese in it too..? But not to sure, it was good though! Usually when I buy a roll of Kimbap from Korean grocery stores, they aren't as filling but this one I couldn't finish it all! Hope to come by again to buy for my fiancé too! read more

Best kimbap I've had in the longest time. I'm from LA and I can't recall the last time I had a kimbap this tasty. Maybe a couple times in Korea were comparable. Was hungry for a mid-day snack. Thought about musubi but wanted less rice and some more vegetables. Glad I went - great service and great taste! read more

I absolutely adore this place and if I could give ten out of five stars, I would! This is the sweetest Aunty who has the best kimbap on the island. Legitimately blows all Korean markets out of the water. I even loved it the next day! Her fried mandoo is SOOO good too! The sauce is so tasty! Her bibimbap bowl is super refreshing too. I can't wait to go back to try her fruit smoothies or acai bowls next time! I cannor emphasize how lovely and sweet and nice she is! I am happy to keep supporting her! She truly has that taste of "home" that's hard to find now! I hope she's around forever! Also the interior is tiny with two chairs but feels like home. You can tell a lot of care, love and thoughtfulness went into the little space. Also everything is very clean and organized! Will come back often! read more

Best kimbabp. Im from korea and i come here everytime i miss korea. Auhjuma (korean aunty) is so nice and generous

Tried the tuna mayo, shrimp tempura, and mandoo. Like others have said, very generous fillings. Call ahead to order is best. I liked the shrimp better than tuna one. Tuna was bit too salty and dry. Dumplings were good. read more

A great place to get a fresh fruit smoothie or yummy acai bowls. The nice Korean lady owner made my smoothie on the spot and it was so refreshing. Her kimbap reminded me of my Mom's. It's not a sit down spot, just a place to grab food for take-out, with a couple of chairs for those waiting for their order. But her store was clean and welcoming and nicely decorated. Plenty of free parking where you can enter from either Young Street or Keeamoku. read more

Excellent place for kimbap. I saw several people posting about it on Instagram and decided I needed to check it out. I just walked in and ordered, but as others mentioned it is best to call as she prepares it freshy as it is ordered. I ordered the shrimp, tuna mayo, gobo, and fishcake. All was filled with so much filling, it doesn't have an overwhelming amount of rice. The woman there was so sweet. I will definitely go back again. I would definitely recommend going there. Next time I will try the mandoo. read more

The food is so fresh! You can tell the owner puts alot of love into each kimbap she rolls and each bowl she makes!

Cute tiny place & convenient with parking stalls. One lady does it all, and basically makes kimpab to order. It does take time if ordering for more than one. If pressed for time then best to call in orders. I was there about 10:15, good time before any busyness started with lunch crowd. Had steamed mundoo , not homemade but good none the less. Gobo Kim bap scarfed that down to zero while I waited for mundoo order. Will have shrimp kimbap later. Food is good, flavors clean and I will be back. Service, lady is very sweet and humble and so appreciative of customers. She was surprised I ate all the gobo kimbap so fast! read more

She's amazing! Her food is just as good. Order everything on the menu and you can't lose.

If you are craving FRESH kimbap or smoothie, stop by at this hole in the wall on Keeaumoku. Parking is super easy and free. It's a tiny shop run by a sweet Korean aunty who does everything by herself. It's best to call in your order ahead fof time because she is very busy and usually makes the rolls, acai bowls and smoothies to order. I got the slightly spicy tuna kimbap and a green smoothie that was chock full of fresh frozen greens and avocado. All of it was yummy. Support our local businesses and eat healthy and tasty food at the same time! read more
