I've loved KimBob-Rex (now Sushi Rex) since they were a food truck! I first tried these amazing sushi burritos when I was in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica and was immediately hooked. Every disappointment, setback, or challenge at work was healed with a sushi burrito from Kimbobrex :) I'm so glad they are a brick and mortar restaurant now and have had the chance to visit a few times. I love the Spicy Rex Burrito and the Sashimi. The onion sauce is diiiiivine. My mom adores their yellowtail collar! Service is so friendly and warm. You can really tell how much love and care goes into each burrito and dish. Fish is fresh and portions are pretty hefty. Dining area is lovely with the cutest plants and dino drawings. Please give these guys a try if you are in the area!! read more

KimBob-Rex - Sashimi Rex - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

I am not sure how this place got so many high ratings but it was one of the worst tasting sushi's I've ever tried. I ordered a baked Alaskan roll and salmon was stinky, slimy, and inedible! It must have been so old, I was STARVING and couldn't even force myself to eat it. Service was also ridiculously slow, there was one other customer when I was there, and I waited 20 minutes for one sushi order. Sushi and fish need to always be fresh and top quality because it goes bad quickly if not properly handled. I found myself regretting not getting ralphs sushi because that would've been 100x better. Please stop serving customers awful fish quality. If your fish expired or wasn't handled properly, have some integrity and THROW IT OUT. read more

If you are into sushi burritos definitely come try this place! The sushi burritos are so good, even the other sushi options they have. I also tried the Kimchi Fried Rice and it was so good!! If you like eel, I recommend the Fire Eel Sushi Burrito! It is so flavorful and even though the burrito looks small, it definitely fills you up! The kimchi fried rice was salty and spicy. It wasn't too salty or spicy - it was perfect! Definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back!! Parking is good and not too hard to find parking. They also take phone online orders and not just from their website. read more

This is the best sushi burrito restaurant in the Glendale / Los Angeles area! I've been a fan of Kimbob Sushi Rex's menu items since their food truck days and now that they have an actual physical restaurant, I'm happy to see that their business is progressing to greater heights. The owners are very nice and hardworking, as I can tell that they put a lot of love and effort into preparing the food for customers. My go-to orders are usually the Big Fat Alaskan or spicy lobster sushi burrito and kimchi Spam musubi. I try to make stop here to pick up dinner because it's on the way home, and their service has been impeccable so far. In fact, I just picked up some sushi burritos and musubis tonight! Support your local restaurants and try out Sushi Rex! read more

We've been walking down to KimBob-Rex (Sushi-Rex) for an occasional sushi burrito and always left satisfied and full. Then, recently, we discovered the Poke Bowl and OMG it is amazing. Made with very little rice, one could actually consider it a sashimi bowl. I've never seen a Poke bowl made with such care. Excellent ingredients and filling. Try it! read more

I've honestly never been amazed by sushi burritos. They are typically overloaded with cheap ingredients and spicy mayo, and are not well proportioned to really allow the fresh fish to shine. This place changed my mind. I liked the sashimi rex. There were large, fresh cuts of sashimi, and a bit of rice-- not too much. The dipping sauce reminded me of the salad dressing you get at Korean restaurants, sometimes. Soy and chili sauce based, with a tiny bit of texture to elevate it. I would come back. read more

I'm all about supporting small businesses in the neighborhood, and I love sushi burritos. I've been here twice and the second time my kids really wanted to get their food. I really wanted to like it and give it a second chance but I feel there's much more to be desired. The place is clean and menu very straight forward. The service was a little slow. The food it quite pricey for what is offered and it wasn't as great as the pictured showed. The fish seemed frozen since the fish and the burrito just ok. There's a lot of promise. read more

My girlfriend and I had to run an errand nearby and accidentally went into a parking lot where we saw this restaurant hidden away in the corner. We decided to give it a try and ended up being extremely impressed with the entire experience. The decor is very inviting, and the food was excellent. One of the things I ordered was a dragon roll, which actually was prepared to look like a stunning dragon, the eel piece they used for the dish was a very generous size, and most importantly the taste was wonderful. The owner and staff were very ingratiating as well. We will definitely come back. read more

The teriyaki udon was very good. It had broccoli, green beans, onion, carrots and chicken. It was a big serving too, good for the price. Had the spam kimchi musubi, which had a good amount of kimchi and a nice sized slice of spam. Very flavorful. Rex poki bowl, came with tuna, octopus, scallions, shrimp, crab meat, and rice. Good sized bowl for the price too. Everything tastes fresh and not fishy, which is amazing. Customer service is always great. Both Mr and Mrs. Kim treat everyone with kindness as if you were visiting their home. Love this place and will continue to come back. read more

I tried the T Rex and Phoenix sushi burritos today after getting a recommendation from my PT. Both were absolutely delicious! My kids finished the rest and demanded to know where it was. The store owners were so welcoming and friendly. They helped me choose what to try since it was my first time there. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu. So happy that I stopped in today. read more

Musubu with cheese. SO GOOD! We also had a jalapeño bomb and the if you dare roll. Everything was great and they are super friendly Can't wait to go back. read more

We were very pleased with our sushi burritos. (Discovered sushi burritos in Vegas but these are better!) They were generously stuffed with ingredients of excellent quality. We could have shared one but stuffed ourselves silly instead. As noted by others, this is not fast food. Ordering ahead seems like the way to go. We ordered there to eat in, but they pack everything to go so you're not sparing the landfill anything. The shop is utilitarian and seems clean. We are happy to know we are just a couple of miles from delicious sushi. read more

I've been coming to Kimbop-Rex for a while now and it's wonderful. The people here are genuine, kind, and attentive. The food is fresh and consistently great every time. There's plenty of seating and they keep their store spotlessly clean. Today when I came in, I was delighted to see they've expanded their menu, and while I typically stop in for a quick lunch, it looks like I'll be making a dinner stop here in the near future. read more

Been here a couple times and it's pretty good. Service is very nice and this appears to be a family run business. I really am hoping for its success. The prices seem a bit high for the amount of food, but that is thanks to our liberal state government. If you are looking for a sushi dinner, and don't want to travel far, this is def a place to try. You can eat here or do takeaway. Ordering is at the counter. There are about 5 tables inside, but they have never been packed read more

I'm gonna give these folks the benefit of the doubt. So it's a small location and you can tell their processes is NOT fine tuned. This means that their system from ordering to delivery of the meal needs more work. Simply put, takes long when busy. I waited over 50mins after ordering. And customers ahead of me voiced to be manager of how long they were waiting. Granted the delay is shown through the care they put into the craft. Quality is good. I had the sashimi special and the baked Alaskan. It's heavy but just a perfect amount if you're craving sushi but don't want to pay 50$s I'd come back but due to my last waiting experience I'll come back when they better R&d a quicker turnaround time read more

I used to love their Philadelphia burrito and have ordered the same thing most of the times. Today, I ordered the same Philadelphia burrito that came with a black & white checkered wrapper I've never got from here before. I used to get the burritos with white wrappers. I didn't give much thought-I mean it's just a wrapper. But that was only until I took a few bites and saw smudges on my fingers. I tried to wipe with a tissue but the smudge didn't get completely wiped. I looked at the box and it had black stains from the wrapper. The sushi burrito was wrapped with black seaweed paper so I couldn't tell if the ink got on the body of the burrito. So I checked the bottom and saw a part of salmon stained. I threw away the rest. I texted the business to let them know about the issue, thinking it might help them from getting bigger problems later on. I didn't ask for a refund or a fresh batch. The lady called me and said they've been using the wrapper for 10 years, never had an issue, and there are two other customers dining in at the moment who have no problem. I was just astounded by her invalidation coming from defensiveness and treating me like a mere complainer. I said I can send the photos. She said if I bring the burrito back she can make again. I told her that's not necessary, since that was not my intention. I sent in photos, no response. Her narrow right or wrong perspective made her defensive, which could've been replaced by an effort to listen to the other's perspective and a simple resolution. She made a simple incident into a big deal through her reaction. read more

Discovered this local gem by mistake!! Best mistake I've made in ages! I ordered their salmon taco which was absolutely delish and 8 of their California rolls which were so tasty they deserve a repeat as well. The service was exceptional as well. So kind and friendly! I live close enough to walk there and can't wait to try more of their fine food. My only regret is that I didn't discover KimBob-Rex sooner!! read more

Yum yum yum delicious sushi burritos! The staff is so friendly and the chef is amazing! The restaurant is so nice and relaxing even though it's a fast food ish/ casual dining spot. The music on the big flat screen is so lovely, I really enjoyed myself while I waited for my carry out order. Yum yum!!!! read more

I have never had a sushi burrito before, and wasn't sure what to expect. Figured it would just be a giant roll, but it's not! Was pleasantly surprised by the spicy/tangy/super yummy sauce that went along with the one I got, and it was definitely a healthy portion! I eat a lot, and between that and the tamago spam musibi and a hot tea, it sure hit the spot! As the other reviews have mentioned, the staff is really friendly and it may be a tiny little place, but that makes it great for takeout and a casual place to eat when you've got that sushi craving. Will definitely be going back soon! read more

Awesome sushi burritos!! One of my favorite spot for sushi! Beautiful food and great service!

Kim Bop Rex is the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've discovered something locals want to keep to themselves. Think oversized sushi burritos. rolled so generously stuffed you need both hands to tackle them, but with the heart and warmth of a Korean mom-and-pop shop behind the counter. The owners are here every day, open to close, and it shows. They greet you like family and make sure your order is made fresh and fast. The flavors lean bright and clean: fresh fish, crisp veggies, a nice balance of rice and fillings. The vibe is definitely casual and geared toward takeout. No frills, just straightforward eats that let the food do the talking. My go-to has been the T-Rex where every bite delivers that perfect mix of freshness and heft, like sushi's playful, on-the-go cousin. If you're looking for something different from the usual sushi spot, and want to support hardworking small business owners while you're at it, Kim Bop Rex is a solid choice. It's the kind of place you'll crave when you want bold flavors without breaking the bank. read more

Food is good but service is sloooooow. Imagine the slowest possible service and then double that time! The first school fundraiser held here was a disaster. Many families left to eat elsewhere because of the awful wait time. I held back from writing a review the first time around to see whether there would be improvements made. Today was the second school fundraiser experience and my family was quoted 40min for pick up. The wait was actually 1 hr 30 min+...why haven't things changed??? They didn't learn from their mistake from the first fundraiser! And apparently neither did I. This is unacceptable. Unfortunately, we will not be participating again. To the business: if you are hosting a fundraiser please hire more people to support the staff during dinner hours. If this cannot be done, decline the partnership for fundraising. This also results in many missed donation opportunities for the school. read more

I'd like to start off by saying how much I appreciated the way the menu is categorized by meat and vegetable options. It made choosing what to order much easier since we could quickly decide based on our preferred base, which kept us from feeling lost in the menu. I ordered the PHB, and I'm literally salivating as I write this. I already love salmon, but this burrito took it to another level--the combination of salmon, cream cheese, and avocado was incredibly creamy and satisfying. It came with a sauce that had a refreshing, slightly lemony ponzu tang, which paired perfectly with the richness of the burrito. Our burritos were generously stuffed with protein, making them both hearty and savory. This is such a great meal option because there aren't many protein-dominant choices when eating out. These burritos are not only filling but also super convenient to eat, which is a huge plus. I also really appreciated that you could choose how to have the burritos cut, making them easy to enjoy individually or to share. The service was also great. Everyone was very accommodating, and kind. Overall, I loved it. This place is definitely my new go-to spot! read more

Really fun concept of sushi, we (T1) STB and the (T2) T-Rex for dinner. Just wanted quick eats before heading to a night event and this was perfect! Filling, affordable, and healthy while being very tasty. Happy to find this shop in the La Crescenta area as there aren't too many options around for quick bites to just easily eat at home. Food was fresh, well sized, to-go service was excellent they remember their usuals!, and the ambiance of the store was simple and cozy. Would come again, especially as a great idea for picnics or bite before events which it was so perfect for. Wish they provided side sauce/drizzle we could order, maybe something to ask next time! (Ponzu, spicy mayo, eel sauce, etc like for poke) read more

KimBob-Rex - Sushi burrito - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, California

The absolute best sushi burrito in America. I'm not even going to make a suggestion on what you should try because every single item is so good. Fairly priced and always high quality. The owner and chef is beyond talented, hard working, and original. I appreciate every single creation he's made. His staff is also very well trained, easy going, welcoming and very helpful. Overall excellent experience. My only complaint is that they no longer have their food truck. But I'm thankful for this permanent location. It's clean and easy to locate. The food truck used to frequent the Friday night Granada hills food truck scene. It was such a treat to goto his truck. Sweet memories. Perhaps he could consider franchising and making a whole network of kimbap trucks. read more

If I were to sing this place's praises, it would most definitely be from the rooftops. This is a great little spot to stop in for a quick bite or to slow down and enjoy a quiet place to enjoy your ramen bowl. The customer service is excellent, the staff is kind and very attentive. Admittedly, their prices have increased just a touch, but the food is delicious and hits it out of the park every time!! The shrimp ramen paired wi a refreshing soda always hits the spot. There's both indoor and outdoor seating too. read more

SUSHI REX THE RESTAURANT SOFT OPEN The soft opening is here and fortunately for us, the favorites are still all here. The menu that you know and love from the truck can still be found here. Want to order THE T2? It might not be on the screen, but it's on the menu. MENU This is a little confusing. It's difficult to tell what's going on with the key. C1 means there is crab AND vegetables? The only vegetarian one is V(vegetable)1(vegetables). The back of the menu has a system you can figure out. The letter/number code is probably for order taking and the kitchen. FOOD Great sushi burrito. But you've known this since 2013 on the food truck. Golden balls. New to me. They were yum. Only $2. I'd get those again every time. NEW: Ramyun & Udon I'm usually not a fan of instant noodles outside of my house. But these are DELICIOUS and AFFORDABLE. I think students will want these as an after school snack in the winter months. K-RAMEN Delicious. (Not vegetarian) Mushrooms Scallions Carrot Danmuji (Takuan) yellow pickle Bonito flakes (fish) Dashi style smokey broth NEW: Hand rolls. I didn't try one, but I will be back. Hey! I got 3 burrito rolls, can't eat the menu in one sitting! Wishlist: kimchi Ramyun (secret menu?) DRINKS Assorted American soda Water (Wish list: Banana Milk, Ramune, Calpis) RESTAURANT Situated at the back of a mini mall on Foothill Boulevard, it's a small casual place inside with seating for 20 people inside and a few more tables outside in a small patio area. A clean, single, unisex bathroom is inside the restaurant in the back. The chairs are not uncomfortable, but they aren't designed for a long dinner. Most people tonight we're getting food to go. TO GO / SOFT OPEN I'm not sure if it's the soft open, but everything is still served in to-go containers. (Good because I couldn't finish all three burritos) I don't know the area very well, but google maps tells me Deukmejian Park is pretty close. Might be a good picnic spot. LA CRESCENTA has a new little dinosaur sushi spot. Check it out. read more
