    We ordered a few Crunchy Sushi Tacos and a 10-Piece Fried Chicken (Honey Butter and Sweet&Spicy). The fried chicken was good but the honey butter powder was overpowering and super messy. The crunchy sushi tacos were delicious and matched the viral hype. For best results, need to double bite---some rice from bottom, then sushi from top. To be honest, the rice and crunchy shell were the best part... the fish was an ok addition. The place is tucked into the back corner of a sketchy strip mall. Like most of LA, the parking lot was a little tight and had some questionable character. Service was friendly and fast. They did not have a bathroom or place to wash hands. The dining area was small but could fit a couple small groups.

    i came to kingbop to try their sushi tacos that have become popular thru tiktok. i got the spicy tuna, the salmon, and the shrimp (which also has imitation crab meat). these 3 totaled out to about $32, which at first i found to be really pricey. however, after seeing the size of the tacos and how filling they were, i would say it's not a bad price. my favorite out of the 3 was probably the salmon. they were very generous with the amount of salmon they gave and it tasted really fresh, with just the right amount of sauce. i also enjoyed the shrimp taco, which i didn't expect to like so much, but it was super flavorful! i didn't really like the spicy tuna taco just because i prefer a mayo based spicy tuna. although they did have spicy mayo drizzled on top, their spicy tuna itself seemed to be pepper based. i'm sure some enjoy that but i personally don't, so i didn't like the tuna taco. despite enjoying 2/3 of the sushi tacos, i probably wouldn't come again. i noticed after my first sushi taco that the fried shell started to become overwhelming, and eventually, all i could really taste. by the time i got to my last one (the salmon), i threw the shell out and just ate the contents with some rice. additionally, my friend got the pork belly taco and that one was really not good. there was so much grease that had accumulated so the whole taco was inedible. overall i think this is a good place to try, and i'm glad i did but i probably won't be a regular at kingbop.

    [Best] Beef Belly Taco
    Noe C.

    Food was a 10/10! Every taco was delicious, tasteful and crunch/perfected with sauce. Beef belly taco was my favorite! Trio combo would have each taco at around $10 which I would say is worth it bc 3 tacos can feed around 2 ppl. What brought this place down was the insides uncleanliness. There was food/trash over the floor, they ran out of utensils and napkins at the self serve station so had to ask for more. Tables were not wiped down, had to wipe down our own. decor is ok, simplistic. For the prices they charge on the food it should be more upkept imo. Would come back for the food but maybe do takeout.

    Unagi Taco
    Jessica M.

    This place has been viral so I decided to drive out and try it! The sushi tacos are about $10 and some change and they have a great variety to choose from!I went close to opening so no rush or lines. The beef belly and unagi tacos were delicious the flavors and ingredients were so good! Definitely worth a visit at least once! I will be back! Even my daughter enjoyed it! **Downside** The place and parking lot is small and some spots are a tight squeeze. The area is not great so be mindful! There a some tables to sit and eat and the staff was welcoming and friendly! Can be pricey I paid $32 dollars for three tacos however portion size is huge and fair for price point. Grilled pork belly and as the worst one out the three I tried so dry, bland, and lots of fat pieces avoid that one!

    Tucked in the corner strip mall

    I was in DTLA looking for a solid lunch spot and had a couple of places saved on Yelp. Ok, I admit I have tons of saved places on my "to try" yelp lists. First stop I tried (Holbox)...which had a line around the corner, and the second spot I wanted to try was Chuy's Tacos and it's closed on Sundays. I ended up at KingBop about 15 minutes away...and honestly, that worked out pretty darn well to quench my "Taco" craving. It's tucked into a dumpy little strip mall, so don't come expecting much atmosphere. This is more of a fast-casual, self-service kind of spot where you can order on the tablet or at the counter, then wait for your food. The seating area is small, and I had to wait for a table to open up. Parking was also a bit of a battle on a busy weekend around 1 p.m., but that's LA being LA. The sushi TACO's, though? Really really good. I tried the pork taco (good) and the ahi tuna taco (my fav). The shells are crispy seaweed with a tempura-style crunch, so they actually hold together and give you that great taco bite. The flavors were fresh, the sauces were on point, and the whole thing worked way better than I expected. Thx Yelp for another satisfying Taco treat. They have a deal where you get $3 off if you order three tacos, but I only grabbed two. They're a little on the pricey side, but they were filling enough and worth it. Two tacos hit the spot without putting me into a food coma, which is always appreciated. The food took a little while to come out, but it tasted fresh and made-to-order. Overall, I really enjoyed it. KingBop takes sushi, flips it upside down, stuffs it into a crispy taco seaweed shell, and somehow makes perfect sense. As a crispy taco fan, I was fully on board. Five stars from me. Not fancy, not atmospheric, but fun, creative, fresh, and delicious.

    April 22, 2026 | Inside | Crunchy Spicy Taco & Salmon Taco! |
    Shantelle S.

    April 22, 2026 | Los Angeles | The moment I heard about the Viral Crunchy Sushi Tacos, I knew I had to add KingBop to my wish list! 3 Crunchy Sushi Tacos | Shared | At first sight and bite, the Salmon & Spicy Tuna Sushi Tacos easily looked yummy, piled high with toppings & dripping with sauce! I enjoyed the salmon taco! My favorite was the Spicy Tuna Crunchy Taco, which was absolutely delicious and I loved hearing that crunch! Haha! It's definitely a messy taco, but worth it, so keep napkins near! Honey Butter Seasoning Fries | I absolutely love honey butter chips, so I knew the fries would be a hit and they were incredibly delicious! I craved one bite after another! I highly recommend! Fried Seaweed Rolls | I honestly thought I would love this, but they were not a hit for me! I only had one bite! Cute wrapping paper underneath though! Haha! Sighting | While my friend and I were catching up, I heard someone's funny ringtone quite often... So I thought, it actually ended up being a real life parrot! Haha! The woman was super friendly, we spoke briefly as she was walking out of the restaurant and she let me take a cute photo of the parrot! Inside | It's bright and colorful! You order at the kiosk! There was a special for three tacos for three dollars off! This place gets super busy! There were a lot of orders to go as well! Luckily, we found a table right away! A woman picking up an order for her daughter asked how were the tacos and I raved about the salmon taco!! Note | As KingBop is definitely a super busy place, I would recommend wiping down the glass door every now and then and the baseboards! Overall | I enjoyed the crunchy tacos! If in the area, I would easily return and try another taco, excited to hear that crunch!

    [BEST] Kimchi Bulgogi Cheese Fries  Salmon, Tuna, Bulgogi Tacos
    Ethan Z.

    Wow what a concept! My girlfriend and I decided to try this trendy spot and were greeted by a line out the door of other curious foodies excited to get their fill of sushi tacos. I wasn't sure what to expect upon arrival but liked that they had options to order at their digital kiosk if clankers are more your thing vs ordering with a human. We waited in line for maybe 10-15 minutes before placing our order at the helpful robot and quickly snagged a table as real estate was precious in their tiny dining space. While their staff looked mostly efficient pumping out to-go orders, sadly our beef bulgogi kimchi fries really held up our order. It appeared that although our sushi tacos were ready quickly, the Fries were ready almost a whole 20 minutes later. We waited maybe 30-40 minutes for our order to come out. I was obviously a bit bothered, but understood that they had more orders coming in than they could possibly handle. When we did end up taking our first bites I was astounded. Their exciting flavors, chunky portions, and fried seaweed provided a bite I had never experienced before! Honestly so worth it. The salmon and Tuna tacos were less flavorful than the beef belly one because the meat obviously was seasoned/marinated but for them being sushi tacos they were awesome with nice ingredients. I think the wait on the meat made the fries taste a little old but still everything was amazing. The staff is friendly, and did their best to maintain a good system amid the chaos that is their fan base. While I am not sure I will be back anytime soon, the food truly was a pleasure as it was unique, filling, and delicious.

    Ugh the hype is real!! This place always has a line I feel like no matter what time, so ordering ahead is probably the best option. We tried a bunch of stuff - Rose Mala Topokki, Crispy Shrimp and Beef Kimbaps and 3 Crunchy Tacos (Salmon, Spicy Tuna and another meat one). My favorite was definitely the topokki but honestly everything was soo good. The servings are big and they really load up the tacos, so it's great value. Overall, so so good!!

    [[BEST] Combo#1 ($32.90 - $29.95)
    Michael T.

    So Kingbop's sushi tacos actually exceeded my expectations. Super yummy! The hype is real and worth it. I would seriously recommend giving these a shot. I went for several of the three taco deal and tried them all. My favorites in order were the unagi, with the sweet sauce and spicy crab, the spicy tuna, the salmon, beef, and pork. I ordered online so things were ready when I arrived. I actually recommend doing this because there was quite a line. The location is jammed into a corner of a very small strip mall. There are pretty much no parking spots available. So be prepared for that as well. Definitely worth a trip to try. Totally awesome and unique flavors. Five stars!

    Shrimp Taco Salmon Taco [Best] Spicy Tuna Taco
    Rosemary A.

    The way someone had the idea to completely transform sushi and add a fun twist to making it into the most perfectly crispy sushi taco. The crisp on these sushi tacos is INSANE. I think that the spicy tuna taco is flawless everything works together. The salmon and the shrimp taco on the other hand, get a little lost, but if you get extra sauce on the side, it almost matches up to the spicy tuna

    Ok this was fun. Comfort "tashi" (taco sushi). I've tried this before in other places, but none of them took, and a year after they opened, none of them are around any more. The reason? I suspect it's because they try to fancy it up as sushi, rather than comfort it down to what I'd call emotional-damage-breakup-food. You know.... eat everything cuz he/she dumped you for that "just a friend" they always hang out with..... you know what I'm talking about. Comfort food. After which, you do the "best way to get over somebody, is to get under somebody".... before you heal and decide to be a better person. While you're hurting though? THIS IS WHAT YOU EAT. I had the beef and unagi tacos, and I was feeling might comfy. The great thing about it is they hold for a while when you want to bring it home. Prices average about $11-13, but I always get the 3-taco deal, which comes out to under $10 each. The neighborhood is kinda ghetto, so if you're the prissy Newport Beach TikTok type, I'd recommend you just DoorDash it. Definitely a fan!!

    Pulled pork and salmon taco
    Tommy L.

    Wow! Talk about trying something completely different that I've never had before. The best way I could describe it is like eating a sushi roll inside a crispy seaweed taco. I've been hearing about this place on social media for a while, so I finally stopped by to see what all the hype was about. They've got seven different crunchy sushi tacos to choose from including Grilled Beef Belly, Unagi Crab, Grilled Pork Belly, Calamari, Spicy Tuna Crab, Salmon, and Shrimp Crab. I went with the Grilled Pork Belly Taco and the Salmon Taco. I still don't know how they make that seaweed shell, but it's awesome. The outside is coated with a light crispy batter that gives it a nice crunch, while the seaweed underneath still has a little chew to it. It's a really unique texture that somehow works perfectly. The Salmon Taco was loaded with fresh salmon, thick slices of avocado, sesame seeds, and crunchy tempura flakes on top. Every bite was fresh, creamy, and had a great mix of textures. The Pork Belly Taco was packed with tender grilled pork belly, topped with spicy mayo, fresh jalapeños, and sesame seeds. It had just enough heat without overpowering the pork. Both tacos were stuffed with a generous amount of filling and rice. Honestly, one taco could be enough for a lot of people. After finishing both, I was definitely full. This is one of those places that's doing something completely different, and they pulled it off. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the quality was there. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of the menu. If you're a sushi fan and want to try something you've probably never had before, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

    Crispy Shrimp and Spicy Crab Sushi Taco
    Deweyne L.

    Kingbop had been on my radar for a minute so I finally made the trip. It's tucked away in a little strip mall and the parking lot is tiny. Street parking is the move because this place stays busy. Walked in and it was packed, placed my order at the self service kiosk and settled in for a wait. There were a ton of to go orders ahead of mine but in my experience that's always a good sign. Got the Crispy Shrimp and Spicy Crab Sushi Taco to go and it was worth the wait. Sweet, savory, and looked just as good as it tasted. One thing worth mentioning, the tails are still on the shrimp so don't get so caught up in how good it looks that you forget to remove them first. My only other regret was not ordering more of them.

    To go containers even though we advised we were eating in.

It was a great family meal! Can't wait to come back.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
