F O O D I only ordered yubus but they were all really good! Firstly, they came with two sides of miso soup (maybe one for my sister and I?) and we ordered four yubus to share. I tried to stick with the popular ones and got: King Yubu Queen Mermaid Yubu Spicy Tuna Yubu Grilled Bulgogi Yubu This satisfied all of my Japanese cravings all wrapped in a sweet shell. The portions were good: two for one person is definitely enough S E R V I C E It was just your basic Asian place in LA. Quick and to the point. Very casual and perfect for lunch. L O C A T I O N The plaza was pretty crowded. Prepared to be patient while waiting for parking. read more

Kingyubu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Drove 40 minutes just to try these colorful-looking yubus we see in pictures and also recommended by a friend. It was our first time here, so even though there were only 3 of us, we ordered a little bit of everything to try. So, 6 yubus, loaded fries, mini cup bulgogi, and tteokbokki. First off, the young lady at the counter was super nice and accommodating. We were greeted right away, she even recommended the 5+ 1 Yubu to get a good deal. The food was good overall. The tteokbokki was definitely the standout for me! I would order this again, it was so flavorful. The loaded fries were also really good. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the tuna mayo yubu, but that's just me. Portion-wise, I'd say 1-2 yubus per person is enough, while the tteokbokki and loaded fries are definitely shareable for 2-3 people depending on your appetite. ($100 + for all these w/ tip included). The only downside was the plates they provide. Since the portions are pretty generous and meant for sharing, the tiny carton plates made it really difficult to eat comfortably. We asked for extra plates and even requested bigger ones, but were told those were the only plates avaiable, we still ended up asking again because eating from those little plates was honestly inconvenient. KingYubu :) your servings are great for sharing, so hopefully you can provide sturdier or larger plates in the future! The place itself is small and cute and located in K-town. They do have a restroom and parking available, which is a plus. Overall, still a good experience and we enjoyed trying something new. read more

Kingyubu was a TikTok recommendation, and walking in we knew we were in the right spot as they had their TikToks playing on a loop on the TVs. So the question becomes is it worth it or is it just marketing? The average price of a yubu is $7 with tax, so a whole platter like the ones you see on TikTok would come out to be easily $80+. We tried the kimchi loaded fries, the yubus pictured below, and their bulgolgi rice bowl. The portion of kimchi loaded fries was huge; the melty cheese was not just surface layer but extended down to the bottom! And the kimchi was able to cut through the fattiness. The yubus were delicious, some better than others though. The better ones were the yubus that balanced flavors well, like the lemon salmon or the King Yubu. The most underwhelming was the bulgolgi, both the bowl and the yubu. Just seemed like seasoned ground beef that I would meal prep for myself. Service was kind and attentive. They offered to take photos for us and offered recommendations. The restaurant looks simple from both the outside and inside, but serves some not-so-simple looking food. Can definitely see why this place is so highly regarded on Yelp! read more

Good value for yubu in L.A. Trendy, ordered at the counter then self serve kind. Nice staff. Clean bathroom. Front of store parking available. We ordered buy 5 get 1 free Yubu. I love the Kingyubu one the most with fresh salmon, tuna, topped with avocado & fish roes. Wrapped tofu is so thin, but tasty. Miso soups also taste fresh & Umami. Overall, I'll go back to visit Kingyubu if I'm in L.A. read more

This place was gas! I've never had anything like this, so my girlfriend wanted to bring me here. I got the Beef belly, the Unagi Avocado, and the Spicy Chicken all which were good!

Since my first review, I have integrated kingyubu into our regular eating out rotation. I am OBSESSED with the mini bowls. The lemon salmon one is perfect and everything I want in a sushi bowl. I usually opt for two of these as my dinner. I do wish they made regular sized portions so I didn't have to order two, but either way I'm happy! I bring friends from out of town here because I love the food so much. It's quick, casual and easy. read more

Friends and I came to try the yubu since it had gone viral on TikTok and they were delicious. Ranking: 1. Bulgogi yubu: SO DELICIOUS. absolutely worth the hype 2. spicy pork yubu: just as good. whereas the bulgogi is a 10/10, this one is a 9/10. such good marinade on the pork 3. salmon yubu: pretty decent, a 7.5/10 since the previous options were way more delicious read more

I've had this spot on my ktown want to go list for a while now to try their popular yubus (stuffed tofu pockets). I ordered the King Yubu lunch special which comes with 3 yubus of your choice and a drink. I got the grilled bulgogi, spicy mala beef belly, and the spicy tuna mayo yubu. All of their yubus were soo good. Each of the were packed with so much flavor. The service here is good. The workers here are very kind and helpful. Definitely will be back to try different yubus and other items on their menu. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Easy, affordable eats in k-town. Went for a quick weekend lunch. Service and ambiance were pretty no frills - you order at the counter and it's self seating. Had a few different ones to munch on (some salmon, tuna, and bulgogi yubu). Everything was pretty delicious. Would say the only issues were parking (had to street park a bit away) and the seating area can get a bit claustrophobic as there's tables are cramped in quite a bit. Would recommend! read more

Next time I would come during their lunch special, because that's a steal! i paid $21 for all three yubu, i can those same three rolls + a drink for $16 knowing that special i would definitely come back for that. reason for the lost star: the services not great, a real COLD vibe my entire time there. read more

We came during lunch and for 3 yubu with a drink it's only $16.99 and they give you a cup of miso soup. I was super full and I didn't even finish my 3rd yubu, so it's a really good deal. We came during lunch time and it wasn't busy when we walked in, but as soon as we sat down, it got pretty full fast and I kept hearing the DoorDash thing beep, so it seems like a pretty popular spot. They have a pretty nice amount of options for the yubu toppings, so I'm sure they have something for everyone. Staff was really welcoming and nice. They were super friendly and helped us out w the kiosk. The restaurant seems pretty clean; however, the outside of the building may look questionable, but once you go into the restaurant it's clean inside. They don't have a huge parking area, so good luck coming when it's busy! read more

10/10 rating with zero critiques. This unassuming shop has an incredible selection of yubus and bowls. We ordered three yubus: the torched salmon, spicy bbq pork, and tuna mayo. They came with complimentary miso soup, which was a nice touch. When I tell you these yubus were absolutely STUFFED to the brim...every square cm was packed with flavor, even the sushi rice. The torched salmon was our favorite, but they were all smoky and savory and surprisingly filling. The yubus are a bit difficult to eat as they are piled high with toppings, but they provide plastic gloves so you can use your hands. read more

Ordered the rose tteokbokki, lemon salmon yubu, and chicken mini kupbop! The rose tteokbokki was huge - big enough to share among 2-3 people! The lemon salmon yubu was flavor-packed. And the chicken kupbop has a wonderful mix of sweet and savory taste. It's a smaller casual cafe, with maximized but limited seating. Service was very nice. read more

Kingyubu has become a staple for me when eating out. My friends and I all love it and we often come for their lunch special, where you can get 3 yubu chobops and a drink for just $17... what a deal right? They're pretty fast with making your food and if you decide to dine in you get some miso soup too! The favorite amongst all my friends and I is the spicy salmon yubu but I also love the lemon salmon and torched salmon yubus. Their salmon is so fresh and everything is very flavorful. I'm not a big meat person but my friends have enjoyed various meat yubu such as the bulgogi yubu. Highly recommend coming in for an inexpensive, filling meal, especially during lunch time! read more

I've come here a few times for yubu as this was the only restaurant to currently sell any in LA. Parking is a hassle with its tiny lot so I always suggest finding street parking and walking over. I've tried the grilled bugolgi yubu, torched salmon yubu, kingyubu, unagi avocado yubu, and tuna mayo yubu. They were all decent tasting with the grilled bugolgi yubu being my favorite. The slight burnt taste plus the sauce enhanced the beef flavor. The fish based ones were kind of bland for my preference. My issue with the food is by time I get home, I get extremely thirsty and feeling dehydrated. Overall, decent yubu but the after feeling is not good. I don't know if it's whatever they use in their ingredients or it's me. If you're craving yubu, there's really no option for the time being aside this spot. read more

Ambiance: it's a Japanese inspired Korean yubu and sushi roll place, located in a small and packed plaza with limited parking spots. It's a great place for quick bites, as not many tables setup for indoor dining. Service: super friendly and patient with questions, and it might take a while to get the food as there's usually line for dine-in and takeout orders Food: variety choices on their menu for Japanese and Korean fusion dishes, they have anniversary discount and lunch specials Tuna Mayo Yubu - **** Cooked tuna, pickled radish, mayo, tempura flakes, creamy texture, recommend Queen Mermaid Yubu - **** Shrimp tempura, crabmeat, spicy mayo, eel sauce, tempura flakes and scallion, spicy and creamy topping with crunchy shrimp tempura in the middle, recommend King Yubu - ***** Salmon, tuna, avocado, tobiko, ssamjang mayo yuzu ponzu sauce and tempura flakes, great presentation and fresh ingredients, highly recommend Spicy Mala Beef Belly Yubu - *** Grilled beef belly with spicy mala sauce, scallion and sesame, average taste Caterpillar - **** outside whole avocado and eel sauce, and inside grilled eel, cucumber and tempura flakes, recommend Price: premium quality and reasonable prices, expect $20~$25 per person for a very fulfilling meal read more

Was a great first time experience you can order on the kiosk or order with the cashier. Be sure to tell them about any allergies you may have and they will accommodate. The staff was very nice. These are a lot more filling than I expected. I could have went without the bulgogi but the star of the show was the spicy spam and the karaage onion (I would return just for that). My friend also got the spicy tuna and they didn't hold back on the amount of tuna they used. This is a great spot to try out and I would definitely return especially after a nice spa day In the area read more

KingYubu has always been one of my favorite places. They create very interesting and delicious yubu sushi by topping the tofu rice pokes with all kinds of creative ingredients. When I hosted a rooftop party with my friends, my friends brought a large order from KingYubu so everyone could try it, and everyone loved it and said it was delicious. It's also great to dine in. The last time I visited was on the evening of December 9th. In addition to their original location on 8th Street, they recently opened a new location at Madang Mall, which I'm really happy about. The Madang Mall location is especially convenient because parking is easy. I'm not good at parking, so I really appreciate places with spacious and stress-free parking. read more

Delicious spot in Korea town- everything was good! The service was quick. And we took our food to go but they do have seats in the front. The parking can be hard but overall it's a great place to go in Korean town- it can be a little snack or a full meal. The Yubu portions are HUUUGE, flavorful/tasty, and just great in general. All of the food we got was really good! Would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area read more

Casual spot in Koreatown specializing in yubu chobop--sweet, fried tofu pockets stuffed with seasoned rice and loaded with creative Korean BBQ, sushi-inspired, and fusion toppings. It blends Korean soul food with sushi elements in a fun, approachable way. Self-seating setup with a trendy, clean, modern-rustic feel. It's quick-service oriented, great for grab-and-go, lunch combos, or casual hangs. Affordable, with many yubu pieces around $5-$7. The star is the yubu: thin, sweet-savory tofu pockets generously filled and topped. The best ones would be King Yubu: Salmon, tuna, avocado, tobiko, ssamjang mayo, yuzu ponzu, tempura flakes, Lemon Salmon or Torched Salmon: Fresh, bright, creamy. Spicy Salmon, Bulgogi, and Mentaiko Crab/Avocado. Surprisingly the Tteokbokki (original, rosé, mala-spicy rice cakes) was very yummy as well. Great value and fun introduction to yubu if you've never tried it. The presentation is photogenic. Good for groups sharing multiple pieces or street-food sides. Some cons would be that it's counter service (no table service) and parking can be tricky at the 8th St spot and some items pricier per piece if you order a lot. Must try for a fun, tasty Korean fusion snack or light meal in K-Town especially if you want something different from standard BBQ or bibimbap. read more

Found Kingyubu when searching "to go" places on Yelp. We arrived around 11am on Sunday. We found parking easily in their parking lot; street parking is also an option. There were plenty of tables seating two, three, or four. There was one party ahead of us who already ordered and was seated. We planned to order the lunch special $16.99 (3 yubus + drink) but was told it was only weekdays (excluding holidays, 11am-2pm). Bummer! We bit the bullet and decided to try anyways. Round 1, we ordered: 1 Lemon Salmon Yubu (레몬연어 유부) $6.45 1 Grilled Bulgogi Yubu (직화불고기 유부) $6.45 Sesame And Scallion On Side 1 Kingyubu (킹유부) $6.95 1 Salmon Avocado Cupbop (연어 아보카도 컵밥) $10.95 Ponzu Sauce On The Side Portions were good! Yubus were filled up and plump. Rice (brown?) was seasoned well. Proteins were delicious and flavorful! Free miso soup for dine in only (one per person). My 6yo is picky and didn't like that sauce was drizzled over her cupbop. Note to self: sauces on the sideI! I forgot to order the unagi so we did a round two after finishing our food. Glad we did! We really enjoyed it!! 1 Unagi Avocado Yubu (장어아보카도 유부) $6.95 We thought my mom and friend would like to try Kingyubu so we ordered them (Round 3) the bulgogi yubu and unagi avocado yubu. I asked for them to be packed separately so they came out in circular soup cups with tops. Fyi their packaging looked better and cuter for two or more yubus. Iced water and cups were available from a dispenser on the counter to left of register. They provide gloves, little yubu holders, mini and small kraft paper food trays, utensils, and condiments easily accessible to right of register. The cashier was pleasant and asked how our food was. I saw her clean a table with Clorox spray after the customers finished and left. Bathroom was old looking but toilet was clean. No paper towels. They have a loyalty program thru Toast so be sure to enter your info when paying. It shows up after you enter tip and get your receipt (none, text, or email). You'll get two separate texts. One from Toast to setup your profile. Do this bc they ask for your birthday (hopefully they'll send a birthday reward). For future transactions, be sure to scan your QR code from your Toast app or account. I made two more purchases after the initial and didn't get loyalty credit for them. I had to call the store who said they couldn't add points after the purchase. I had to ask for the manager's number. The person who picked up said they would try to help me. I texted them screenshots of my receipts. Still waiting for them to work on it. Overall, good experience and we would come back! read more

This place has been on my list to try for a while after seeing it on social media many months ago. Finally had time to try it on a Tuesday lunch. It was pretty slow, there were only 3 other parties. Ordered on self kiosk. Food came pretty quick. Prices were not bad. Portions was enough for lunch. Food taste not bad. We ordered the yubu and also the cupbop. Yubu's are okay. I'm not a big fan of the tofu skin outside. I don't like the sweetness of it. The cup bops weren't bad. I enjoyed my spicy bbq pork. Not bad, worth trying. Not sure if I'll come back, but maybe if I'm in the area. read more

I came to Kingyubu when it first opened, and it's been about a year since my last visit. This time, I tried some new menu items I hadn't had before. First, I ordered the tteokbokki on a skewer, which ended up being one of my favorite items (9/10). The chewy rice cakes paired with the sausage and its crunchy casing created an explosion of flavor! We also came during their lunch special, where you can get three yubus for $16.99 (I believe), along with miso soup. We ordered three different yubus: the King Yubu, the Chicken Karaage Yubu, and the Beef Yubu. I mainly tried the King Yubu (9/10) which I thought was excellent. It featured a mix of different poke with a dollop of caviar on top. Yum! They do NOT skimp on the filling. It's messy to eat, but that's part of the experience :) Parking was a bit difficult to find this time around. There is a small lot in front, but we parked on the next street over and walked. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back for a quick snack! read more

I love that there was plenty of seating in the store and it was so easy to order. The yubu came with huge cups of miso soup, which was nice too. My friend and I loved the seafood yubu options, but both found the beef yubu to be a bit overcooked and tough.

Located in K-Town, I've been hearing a lot about this spot that specializes in yubu (inari) sushi which is rice stuffed in a sweet tofu wrap with different toppings. I came pretty close to opening time on a Saturday, and it was already busy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day. I ordered the spicy salmon, lemon salmon, torched salmon, mentaiko crab, king yubu, and spicy tuna. They were all pretty good, but my favorites were the lemon salmon and torched salmon. The lemon really helped cut through the sweetness and richness of the yubu, and the torched salmon had a nice toasty flavor that made it stand out. The pieces are decently sized and come packed with toppings, but they run about $6 to $10 each, so you'd probably need three or four to feel full. I like the concept and presentation, but the yubu itself does get a little too sweet after a while. Still, I'd definitely come back for a quick snack or to grab a few for a picnic or road trip. read more
