Yining D.

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 I came here because the yelp ratings were high, expecting some really good Korean food. The menu was plentiful with a lot of fusion options between sushi and Korea dishes. I got the rice bokki and bk roll to share with my mom. The prices were a little higher than other places, but the food tasted pretty good and it was filling. The rice bokki is sweet and spicy with an egg, fish cakes, and rice cakes. The bk roll was a monster, filled with shrimp tempura, beef bulgogi and spicy pork. If you don't finish the piece in one bite, then it's falling apart. Service was friendly but really slow. They didn't have too many people working so there would be no one up front sometimes because they're fulfilling take out orders. I had to go up and ask for a to-go container and our bill. The restaurant feels a bit cramped but there's lots of tables in a row for parties of 4 or less. There's a lot of decorations that makes the restaurant a bit cluttered. And they have kpop videos playing in the background which is fun. It's a good place to get quick, take out Korean food. But there's definitely better restaurants around if you're craving Korean food.

Bulgogi Bowl (Beef) + Poke Bowl Salmon (delivery)

Stacy H.

ordered via grubhub delivery. as a korean, i was pleasantly surprised by the taste as i had low expectations. my husband got the bulgogi bowl and i got the salmon poke bowl. the salmon quality wasn't great and rice was slightly dry but otherwise tasty. i finished my bowl in probably 10 minutes max. my husband enjoyed his bowl even though he had ordered the spicy pork. overall a good experience!

I've been obsessed with Korean food over the past few years. And this place doesn't disappoint! I ordered online so didn't eat inside, but it was very clean and cute inside the restaurant. The seating seems to be very limited, but there were a few options. When I picked up my order, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! I ordered a couple of items that were more fusion than traditional Korean but they were very good. The Bulgogi specifically was well seasoned and delicious. This was a great experience and I look forward to going back!

06/15/24 - Today we went back to take advantage of our Groupon purchase. We bought $30 worth of food for $15. This time we both ordered poke bowls. I ordered the salmon poke bowl & my wife ordered the tuna poke bowls. They were both delicious Both were served over a bed of rice w/masago (fish roe), shredded crab meat, lettuce, roasted garlic, diced cucumbers, diced green peppers & cilantro. Of course my wife's had tuna & mine had salmon. We mixed it up so all the ingredients could be blended & eaten (like halo halo). I added hot sauce to mine. Awesome meal very filling and nutritious. I love this place they have a huge variety of Korean food options & is absolutely worth checking out. I just wish I lived closer to Arlington Heights, but I will definitely be back again

For me, this restaurant is a mixed bag with some elements to like and some not to like as much. Outside of the food, the restaurant is somewhat small but just large enough to accommodate some tables for dine in. Given the size of the restaurant, the menu variety is actually pretty good with lots of options ranging from fried chicken to poke bowls to bibimbap to kimbop and other Korean favorites. Service is friendly and the decor is appropriate for the restaurant. For me, the food is not the best and not the worst. Portion sizes skew a little on the smaller side, though prices are not much different from competitors nearby. This also doesn't come with ban-chan that you'd get from many other Korean restaurants nearby with your meal. The ingredients do seem to be pretty good, but not really any different from the large number of competitors nearby on Milwaukee Ave. With that said, the flavor of the food was fine -- like the salmon poke bowl was done fairly good, though fish pieces could've been a bit bigger. The bulgogi was tender and lightly sweet, but not the best version of this that I've had. Presentation overall was pretty good. Overall, a solid performer in the category. Good for a reasonably priced hot meal if you'd doing something nearby in the area like visiting the Wheeling Town Center.

I can't believe I haven't tried this hidden gem until now! Kimbop is located right off Elmhurst Rd (83) and McHenry Rd. If you see La Michoacána then you are right there - KIMBOP is located just a couple steps from there. Kimbop is a small, warm, and inviting restaurant with delicious food! I have been craving kimbop rolls (Korean rolls) with beef bulgogi and this place hits the spot! My roll was packed with fresh ingredients, juicy and plentiful beef bulgogi, and rolled tightly together. I can make a meal just out of this alone. I also ordered the bibimbop bowl with bulgogi and it's another winner! Just the right amount of rice, fresh vegetables, plenty of meat, and topped with a sunny side egg (they ask how you want your egg prepared)! It was one delectable bite after another! Now... as I'm craving Korean food, specifically kimbop rolls and bibimbop, I couldn't resist ordering their wings! Korean style wings are a food group on its own! Don't ever compare it to BWW or any of those wing places. Korean wings are crispy, juicy, tender, crispy, covered in sauce and yet still sooooooo crispy crunchy! I haven't found a place that makes crispy, crunchy AND juicy wings covered in the sweet and spicy sauce until NOW! I'm super happy I ordered 12 wings because hubs and I devoured them! Donald really steered me good with his recommendation of the sauce. He was friendly and welcoming. He's really proud of the restaurant and the food, and rightly so! Craving Korean? Kimbop is the place to go and you won't regret it!

Kimbop recently opened, and I wanted to try it out. You order at the counter, and the food is brought out to your table. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, and my husband ordered the salmon poke bowl. The portion size was smaller than I was expecting for the price. The food was good but was fairly average in taste. In an area that has many above average Asian restaurants to choose from, Kimbop doesn't stand out.

I've been here several times and must say that the food is extremely hit or miss. It's mainly a takeout place though there are tables available for dine in. Our experiences have been strictly take out only. I'm all for supporting small businesses but I hope Kimbop will improve with constructive criticism. Let's start positive with the good. Items I would get again on the menu are definitely the Kimbop (I've enjoyed all 4 variations I've tried), the yakisoba, and the rice cake skewers (these are addicting). Our most recent trip was extremely disappointing. Fried rice was sad, had a few pieces of carrots, no scrambled eggs, and had zero flavor. Couldn't even taste the soy sauce. Bibimpop was more of a joke - a bed of rice with stir fried cabbage/mushroom on top. Again zero flavors. Idk how they can get these basic dishes so wrong Food aside, I would say their service needs the most help. The food is NEVER ready when we come (we usually order on phone 15-30 min before arriving). I see other delivery drivers also having to wait for their orders. I feel that their food is also not consistent in quality; sometime sesame seeds are sprinkled other times not; Sometimes the dish comes with a fried egg other times not. They also seem to have lots of trouble with their register -- there has been issues with payment each time we come. They also failed to refund to us an item and they forgot to include in the order; we didn't find out until we got home, spoke to someone on the phone who said well get a refund and never did. When we came back for a second visit, the manager had to resolve the issue for us. I may come back just for their Kimbop or the rice cake skewer appetizers if I choose to ignore the bad services. I think there are better food options in the area that won't be as frustrating.

i've been here a handful of times now and always have such a pleasant experience. service: friendly and prompt. they are quick to greet you at the door and offer help with any questions. there is a self serve water station towards the middle of the restaurant restaurant is small and not too many tables but each time i've gone there wasn't many people. food: everything i order here is so good. they have a very extensive meal and also have added more it seems -bulgogi fries: must add the kimchi. it's so good! ask for no ketchup though.. felt like it would have been better without it -assortment of makis and kimbops: i can't choose, whichever one ive gotten has been so good -fried chicken: super crunchy! everything about my meals have been so good! highly recommend!

Deboef G.

The kimbap here is so fresh and flavorful. The rice is perfectly seasoned, and the seaweed has a nice crisp texture. I tried the beef kimbap, and the combination of tender beef, crunchy vegetables, and a hint of sesame oil made every bite delicious. It is a great snack or light meal, and I will definitely be coming back for more.

I had a surprisingly delightful meal (take home meal) at Kimbop. We tried a bunch of different items on the menu. I was surprised at how big the portions were. The portions were bigger than what I imagined from looking at yelp pictures. Everything we tried was really good and there was not one thing I wouldn't get again. - Salmon Poke Bowl: This was as good (maybe even better) than some of the poke bowls that I've had at other places that specialize in poke. Maybe slightly pricier, but it included crab meat, seaweed salad, avocado, and lots of tobiko (fish egg), all of which usually cost an extra $1 each at other poke places I've been to. The salmon pieces were large, the taste was great. - Seafood pancake: This was larger than I expected. This was really good with lots of seafood in it. And a nice sauce (spicy, but good) that came with it. - Chicken katsu: Chicken katsu was good and exactly what I expected. Sauce that came with it was perfect as well. - Pork cutlet Kim bop: The kimbop was big and better than I expected. I'd get this again! Seating is minimal here. No room for large groups, but maybe 3 or so tables for groups with 4 or less people. Food was really good. Thanks, Kimbop! I'll be back to try some more things on the menu.

This little hidden place just opened 2 weeks ago. OMG!!!! Super fresh ingredients make an amazing meals! We ordered ddukboki, spicy tuna kimbop and beef bulgogi. EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing! Our first time of trying kimbop- korean type of sushi and we are in love. Even considering stopping here after work, being quiet hungry, we weren't able to finish everything. So here comes my lunch for tomorrow! Excellent customer service is a huge plus too. Wishing this place good luck and hope to see them in business for long-long time! read more

So yeah, what can I say... I ordered the Bim Bop bowl or whatever with beef I was under the impression it comes in a hot stone bowl. so one can hear the sizzling with the egg and the rice on the side of the hot bowl that sort of adds to the eating experience. Apparently this one didn't I will say the dish was very very tasty however another sidenote, was the fact that every single Korean restaurant I have been to I have gotten at least half a dozen of those weird appetizers like kimchi and mung beans, etc. I did not receive that. That was kind of a bummer. On the TV, there was some sort of Korean dance tournaments that had young Korean girls. I was torn between watching that and feeling guilty about watching that. That's not their fault by any means but I thought that I would just add that in there anyway yeah... It was OK however, it was a dollar more than this other Korean place not too far....Hwang Dae something... that place is really really good. No offense to this place but it's a harsh dog eat dog restaurant business and some restaurants have milk bones that dogs will chop on. Yeah I know that makes no sense. read more

You have got to be kidding me. Ordered carry out because of the glowing reviews. Tiny, tiny portions. The spice salmon love "special" roll was about the same size as the $5 special at Jewel (and not spicy at all, even with the wasabi they put on the side). The spicy pork yakisoba was also small, not spicy and had about a half dozen tiny pieces of meat. The squid salad was good, but also a small portion. The three items were more than $35 and it was less food than you get for a $10 lunch special elsewhere. read more

Spectacular food! Closest thing to authentic Korean street food you see in dramas without actually be in Korea. Way better flavor profile than the ones you buy in Asian markets. And you can absolutely tell that they make everything fresh. Got the ddukboki and the spicy tuna Kimbop and bulgogi and it was def the Kimbop to try, like you can't go wrong with them. And the portions are so generous and well crafted. They're a little short staffed but trust me it was worth it. Come with a friend and chill or take it to go!

I had never tried Korean food prior to ordering from here! I ordered online and didn't get the confirmation that the restaurant had received my order. I called a bit later to check and the man behind the counter took my order and was apologetic that they hadn't received it. When I came in, he told me that one of his iPads wasn't working properly and thanked me for calling to let him know! He was actually calling to fix the issue when I came in. It was nice to see that they were concerned right away when a customer called and said they had ordered but didn't receive confirmation. Great service and the food was AMAZING. I will definitely be back. :) read more

There's so much to like about this place. Service was friendly and fast. The young man at the counter, who is also part owner helped me and was patient in sorting out what was the right spiciness for me. I got the spicy chicken Kimbop. This is the first time I've had it, so nothing to compare it to, but it was delicious. I got the hot. But my husband is Indian and I'm used to quite spicy food. The mild is probably best for most white people. No racism intended. Even the bathroom is spotlessly clean. The decor is upbeat and there is K-pop playing on a large TV. read more

I took my girlfriend here while we waited to meet with someone and it's probably the area's best kept secret. The staff is incredibly friendly and the music/mukbangs on the tv are so entertaining. I got tteokbokki and my girlfriend got bulgogi and we loved both of them. The bulgogi is flavourful and the marinade is sweet unlike some bulgogis. The tteokbokki is also amazing as it wasn't too spicy and the rice cake to fish cake ratio was great. I can confidently say that I will be returning because of how hospitable the staff is. I'm a huge kpop fan and they have posters in the restaurant which was also a huge plus. The whole place is incredibly clean and the sit-in area is so cool. The atmosphere reminds me of a restaurant in asia and it's just so nice and calm. I swear you'll want to tell everybody about this place once you eat here. read more

I must admit when I first arrived to this restaurant I didn't have high expectations. I thought it's just another one of those places with average food but try to make them seem delicious. But to check it off my list I went and gave it a try. Man I was totally wrong. To start, the staff members were very friendly. They had a lot of patience in explaining to you if you have any questions on any items on the menu. They even bring out the food to your table and service was great! The place isn't big, it has a few tables available to dine in, but the decoration was good and the atmosphere is great. Price wise, based on the quality and quantity you get. It is totally worth it. I tried their spicy pork plate and fried chicken wings...man...they tasted so delicious. Pork was tender with great taste and not too spicy. Chicken was so crispy outside and very tender inside and the sauce on the chicken really hit the spot....sweet with tiny bit of spicy. And they were huge!! After first visit, I returned again, and received same service, same quality of food and quantity. This is definitely one restaurant that will always be on my list when I am trying to figure out where to go eat. Give this place a try! read more

My mom, who is Korean, especially loves the sundubu-jjigae (Korean soft tofu soup), which says a lot about how authentic and flavorful the food is.

What we got this time: Tteuk manduguk - Rice cake and dumpling soup. This is not spicy and has a nice deep flavor. This one has seaweed and tendrils of silky egg ribboned throughout. Our kids love this. Haemul kalguksu - Seafood noodle soup. This broth was so nice. Also not spicy. It comes with shrimp, octopus and crab legs. The seafood was cooked so-so, and I think I prefer clams and mussels, but the broth was delicious and like a warm hug. They gave extra soup in a separate container too, which was very thoughtful. Bonus: the braised potato banchan is so good--our kids could eat the whole thing. Definitely worth trying whether you dine in or take it home.

Our Combo was $100 and included miso or seaweed soup, rice, banchan and four kinds of meat: marinated bulgogi, short rib, ribeye and brisket. Delicious Delicious. The banchan was tasty tasty. I especially liked the pickled cucumber and the kimchi. Some of the reviews said they were charged extra for refills on the banchan dishes. We were not. What a feast. The server loaded up our grill with brisket and would leave and come back to flip things or turn things although we were pretty capable of doing it ourselves. They very nicely cut our ribeye into bite-sized pieces with the kitchen shears and also snipped up the short rib. The meat was delicious and the banchan and rice soon filled us up. We used the green leafy lettuce to make ssambap. I also liked the sauce with the sesame oil and salt. The bulgogi was last and we had to dig deep to finish it. What I liked was that nothing stuck to the grill and nothing burned either. I've had kbbq before at other places where it was too hot and the meat was burned. Everything was cooked perfectly. There was another table where flames shot up from the grill but the staff quickly went over to help. The staff was friendly and efficient. The banchan was plentiful and tasty. The portions of meat were pretty generous and good quality. Although pricy, I feel we got a lot of food and the meat was excellent because we cooked it ourselves :). So good so good.

I ordered a bibimbap with bulgogi in a stone bowl. That dish was sizzling when it came out. They warned me it was hot--and it stayed hot, while I was eating, even after I put the leftovers in a takeaway container, it was still hot. Who knows, maybe when I take it out of the fridge, I won't have to heat it up, it will still be hot. Kidding. The flavor was good, plenty of rice, chopped veggies, fried egg on top, pieces of bulgogi. I was scraping the stone bowl with a wooden spoon to get the crisp rice off the bottom and the owner said that was the best part. I know. My friend ordered Jajang Ttobokki, and it came in a cute metal pot, also hot, with plenty of sauce. The rice noodles were thick and chewy and I couldn't pick them up, they kept slipping out of the chopsticks (this is not a fault- just my inadequate chopsticks dexterity). We also split a house kimbap, fresh and delicious, generously portioned. We were served promptly, our dishes came out hot and nice portions. There is broth and side dishes and green tea, gratis, when dining in. Once finished, you clear your table. (That bibimbap stone was still very hot).

Overall was quite good, just wished there was a little more pickled radishes to add some more crunch as everything else was soft. Soy glazed chicken wings were very tasty. They were served with French fries and rice cakes. The soy glaze was sweet and salty and stuck really well to everything. The wings had a nice crispiness to the outside that had a dense chew to the hardened glaze. The toasted rice cakes had a nice coating of the glaze that had some crispiness to it just like the fries. Dukboki had a great depth of flavor to it and the heat was very nice as it was not overpowering in spice and had a lingering burn to it. The rice cakes were super soft and chewy and the fishcakes added some saltiness. Really good Dukboki, wish there was more rice cakes. Definitely will be frequenting here often.

It has exactly been 2 years since we went to the Yelp Community Experience at Drop the Bop. We…read morewere so happy to have this small business introduced to us! Since then, we have happily added Drop the Bop to our takeout rotation list. What is so amazing is, both our daughter and myself are not into salads or veggies, and each time we pick Drop the Bop is like a small miracle. There has never been a bowl of fast food made of fresh veggies and meats and rice that tastes so great, and make us feel so good after eating it, but Drop the Bop does it! My husband and daughter picked the All-In bowls from the Yelp experience, and I had the build-a-bowl. Since then, we have been purchasing the All-In bowls every time. All the different ingredients are so fresh and delicious, they contribute to make a complex tapestry of tastes and textures, but all work together harmoniously. We always pick the black rice that has similar texture to sushi rice, that tastes fantastically and holds everything well together. Hubby and Daughter like the carpaccio sauce the best, that is light and not overpowering, while I favor the Yum Yum sauce as it is just yummy! We all like the seaweed soup that is delicious and not too salty. Drop the Bop is a hidden gem in Lincolnshire. Phillip, the young owner, always works so hard and is very resourceful. He teamed up with Yelp to introduce the small business to us Yelpers was a great idea. If you collect AA miles, Drop the Bop also helps you add more miles each time you purchase with your designated credit card. He even comes up with buy 10 get 1 free to encourage you to keep coming back. For us, just their bowls are good enough to make us keep returning. I hope they will keep doing well and growing forever.

Sat, Nov 8 at 12:54 AM…read more "EAT CLEAN. STAY FIT AND HAVE A BIBIMBOP TO STAY SANE." This is the slogan of Drop the Bop on their website, how accurate is that! Since we were introduced to Drop the Bop two years ago via a Yelp Community Experience, we have been returning from time to time to get their bowls. Each bowl contains bop (rice) with your choices of veggies and meats similar to Korean bibimbap! What makes DTB stands out from other businesses is that their ingredients are consistently very fresh, the bowls are delicious with generous portions. They offer the most healthy and delicious fast food that our family love! We love their All-In bowls that contain every veggie and meat that you can think of, and we choose black rice instead of white rice as the yummy base. I usually pick the Carpaccio sauce (out of 8 different sauces) on the side, which provides a "fresh citrus taste combined with olive oil and a hint of jalapeño and black pepper" that has a nice kick to the bowl. I always pick the seaweed soup over miso soup as well. Phillip, who is the very friendly owner of DTB, seems to be always working there. I saw him every time I went to pick up our orders. Funny thing was that he gave me a punch card that offered buy 10 bowls get one for free. I have misplaced several of those cards. Phillip said that I could combine several of those cards to get a free bowl once the total slots punched add to 10. It would be OK with me that I never find all my cards to get that offer. To me, the bowls at DTB is worth every penny, and I don't mind paying full price for each one of them.

We ordered takoyaki and tonkotsu shoyu ramen since I read that this is Hokkaido Ramen place (they are know for creamy tonkotsu broth). Both were good. The takoyaki were decently sized. The Ramen was a tiny bit salty and the noodles were less al dente than I like, but overall very satisfying. Chashu was excellent flavors and cut thicker than typical. No egg in this by default but a lot of bean sprouts. Service was excellent. Riko was the perfect amount of attentive. We were there for a Thursday lunch so I was surprised so a few people were there, but I guess we missed the lunchtime rush, and it was the day before a holiday. I was told that a lot of their clientele are in Japanese and Korean expats working nearby so they are probably on vacation too. I hope the restaurant does well.

If there was nothing memorable I would have give the usual 3 stars, but it gets 4 stars from me because they consistently have one of the BEST hot and sour soup I've ever tasted. The soup itself is hot and spicy (as it should be hence, the name), and is flavorful and iwith the right ingredients. I always go for the large for a bit more to make the trip worth it, $4.25. Oh and be careful, the soup is always piping hot so you can burn yourself. But that just tells me they have it on the stove and always is freshly made. I always come back here for the soup... mmm mmm good! Believe it or not, nor every place can make great soups and for me, soups says a lot about a place. I'm sure there are some hits and misses on the menu and I can't acclaim to all of them. But I can recommend the Szechuan Shrimp, $6.35, which is a L24 lunch special that comes with an egg roll. I've had that a couple of times and it has not disappoint. The portion is huge for the dollar. The fried rice (with green beans and corn) is plenty and is moist. They have fresh veggies (green bell peppers, broccoli) in their entrees (baby corn and water chestnuts are canned) and the shrimp is huge (you get about 5 pieces) which to me is better than getting the tiny itty bitty ones. Plus, their shrimp doesn't smell. Some Asian places have used shrimp that has a very bad water odor, rbis place does not have that in their shrimp. So for a quick bite (they do cook food very fast so your wait shouldn't be long), this place is a great solution for when you are in the area and looking for some quick Chinese takeout. I spent almost $12 for an individual entree and a large soup that will leave me with at least 1 more meal for leftovers. I'm happy with it and I've been back for more.
