Food is always great. Made with care. Service is good. Swift and attentive most of the time. Friendly servers. Good place for a quick lunch

Stumbled on this small Korean mom and pop spot on Northern Blvd. The menu is surprisingly extensive, which made it hard to narrow things down. Extra spicy squid kimbap: honestly not that spicy. Pretty average, I've had better. Fried seaweed roll: filled with glass noodles but came off bland. It really needed a dipping sauce to bring it together. Skip! Beef dumpling soup: the highlight. Served with glass noodles, the broth was comforting with a slight sweetness and pepper. This is a must order! Jajangmyeon: $4.99 for a large bowl is a great deal. The portion was huge, couldn't finish it. The downside is they don't allow takeout for this dish. There's a sign outside that says it, which we missed, but it still feels wasteful not being able to pack up the leftovers. read more

Nolbu Sushi - Fishcake Kimbap / 오뎅 김밥 - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

I've passed this spot so many times and have always been wanting to try it so I finally decided to stop in. It's truly a mom and pop shop. They have seating indoors and actual menus with full entrees of different Korean dishes but I came to get their kimbap and crispy chicken. The prices are also very reasonable and even less than what I've seen elsewhere! I got the king kimbap and the spicy tuna kimbap. Both were loaded with the fillings and a good ratio from rice to filling. The seaweed was a little chewy for me though and I think the fillings lacked a little flavor. The crispy chicken was what I really wanted cause I've seen it all over the page. The pieces are pretty long but the batter is also thick. The batter is made of crispy rice so it's super crispy and also maintained its crisp through travel too! Despite the thick batter, it's actually really tasty. It's flavorful and there's a chew to the batter similar to mochi-like, which made the texture fun to eat. Definitely a restaurant that would be overlooked but it feels very local and authentic. read more

The food was good. The spicy tuna is my favorite. And the kimbap comes with miso soup, but be careful when carrying out. Few time the soup spilled inside the bag. read more

We come here just to order their crispy chicken. We order it by trays on special occasions. Their chicken is crispy and flavorful. Taste great with the dipping sauce. Would definitely recommend. Their kimbap are also good. Some of my favorites are spicy tuna and fried shrimp. read more

Food is excellent and price reasonable, service excellent . Cozy restaurant ..Their fried chicken is delicious.

Crispy chicken. SO YUM. there's definitely a little of a language barrier with the two ahjummas but their service is so friendly and menu has a lot of kimbap options. I wish they gave more of their house honey mustard for the chicken. read more

Nolbu Sushi - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is a very unassuming Flushing mom & pop Korean restaurant on Northern Blvd and though it's called Nolbu Sushi, the menu is mostly Korean dishes and kimbap. A small corner of the menu has more traditional Japanese style sushi, but we haven't tried those yet. Even though kimbap shares many ingredients and a similar look as more delicate maki sushi rolls, kimbap has its own style with cooked meat & pickle fillings and every seaweed wrapped rice roll is gigantic, similar to a Futomaki roll. A typical kimbap roll is about 1.5"-2" diameter sliced into 10-11 pieces that could be a meal by itself. On this recent visit, we started with a Pork Belly Kimbap, but pork belly was lacking in flavor. For some odd reason, I really liked the Spam Kimbap. Maybe it made me reminisce all the spam musubi we had on our recent Hawaii trip. The salty luncheon meat brought out the flavor combination of the rice, nori, pickled veggies and mayo. Of course, we had to have the Crispy Chicken Fingers. The crispy popped rice coating keeps them extra crunchy, even if you take it home and the homemade honey mustard sauce is a great dip. We had ordered a large catering portion of chicken fingers to a pot luck BBQ last year and our cousin that doesn't eat fried foods scarfed up 5-6 of them. We also ordered other dishes to have family style, but I'm surely going to order them for myself next time. The Bulgogi over Rice was really tasty, but the Beef Dumpling Soup was AwESomE! There were only 6 dumplings per bowl, but they were the biggest dumplings I've ever seen and there was even potato vermicelli on the bottom. But what stole the show was the milky bone broth, which was packed with flavor, as if it had been simmering for a week or more. read more

My second visit here but first time eating in. I ordered the omelet with tomatoly rice; delicious, satisfying and filling. The second dish was their famous chicken stripes; so crunchy juicy and fresh. What is a visit here without an order of kimbap ? Their most popular is the pork belly kimbap; slightly spicy and delicious. It was a lot of food! Service us great and friendly. A great place to eat. read more

Even with two other competing kimbap spots within a 2 block radius, Nolbu is still and always will be my preferred kimbap spot. I've been coming here since I was in elementary school and their quality has been the same or even better since. They have an extensive selection of Korean comfort food and affordable kimbap, which are all reasonably priced. The prices have gone up because of inflation, but even then it's worth it because they're very generous with their portions and fillings. My go to order is usually their eel avocado kimbap, but all of them are loaded and just as good. Sometimes they'll have some pre-made items like dumplings and such. I highly recommend trying their crispy chicken tenders! They coat it with Rice Krispies and it makes them extra crispy, but still very juicy. They surprisingly stay crispy for a while too, so it makes it great for potlucks and similar occasions. There's pretty limited seating in there, but it's pretty much cafeteria style. I usually order take out, but in the past I've gotten my food and eaten there too. You'll be responsible for getting your order and cleaning up after yourself though. read more

One of my go-to lunch spots! They've been around for years, and their kimbap is hands down the best!

A spacious Korean restaurant on Northern Blvd, serving kimbap and other simple Korean dishes. While the restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall and there really is no service to speak of--you order and pay upfront, take a seat, and self-serve water while waiting for the food to arrive--the staff are extremely sweet and polite, and the food is authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. * Rapokki 라볶이 $16.00 Sweet, spicy, and deliciously addictive-- with Korean rice cakes, ramen noodles, eomuk (Korean fish cakes), cabbage leaves, onions, and spicy gochujang sauce. The portion was huge, and just this one dish shared between two left us both feeling incredibly full. * Crispy Chicken Small (3pcs) $5.00 I agree with the other reviews; the crispy chicken was mostly rice puffs and batter, not chicken. That said, I love how the chicken was extra crunchy yet not at all oily or greasy. My partner hates fried foods but even then, he ate quite a few pieces. * Pork Cutlet Kimbap 돈까스 김밥 $8.00 * Bulgogi Kimbap 불고기 김밥 $8.00 Their kimbap list is extensive, so we went with two of their best sellers. We definitely over-ordered, so by the time the kimbaps arrived, we were already feeling quite full. Still, we made room and ate a few pieces of the pork cutlet kimbap. My partner oddly grimaced on the first bite, and after taking a piece for myself, I completely understood. For some reason, something in the kimbap tasted off, like a dirty towel, and sadly, every piece after was the same. read more

Was in the neighborhood and my son was in the mood for Korean food. He went in and ordered fried rice which he just absolutely love in general. It took awhile for them to make the order but after getting it and him tasting it, it was an absolute hit. For $12, he got a large portion of fried rice along with a small side of kimchi and soup. The fried rice was cooked perfectly and you could taste the large chunks of bulogi beef and the rice wasn't clumpy at all. Hence, we didn't mind it taking a bit long for the food to come out. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

Completely unreliable for catering. DO NOT ORDER. I placed a catering order a week in advance for a Thanksgiving potluck. They wrote it and even took my phone number. However, i called an hour in advance to make sure they got it. They said yes. So I came to pick up my food at 130pm and it's not here. They can't even find it. They said sorry, no more food. I'm like wtf it's catering, people are waiting for the food. They are so unreliable. DO NOT ORDER read more

The CHEESE TTEOKBOKKI taste the best!!! Even though the cheese is not melting one, but the sauce is really good! Kimbap are okay, I tried Tuna Kimbap, Spicy tuna Kimbap and spicy bulgogi Kimbap, they are all good. But I don't recommend the crispy chicken sticks. It's very chunky but the fried powder layer is toooo thick, the chicken actually is very little The staffs are friendly here, even they might not know English well. Overall, it's 4 stars read more

This is my go to place for catering. I usually call in at least 2 days before for large orders as they can get slammed in the mornings the day of. Besides the fresh kimbaps, everyone loooves the crispy chicken (coated in rice krispies) with the accompanying honey mustard sauce. These long chicken strips are pretty heavy but delicious. read more

Wanted a quick bite/snack to bring home so we stopped by to grab some kimbab. We ordered the burdock and gogi kimbab and it came with two soups. My burdock was fresh and very tasty! You know the food is legit when there's Korean ajummas in the kitchen! read more

First time here trying out their kimbap. The store has a hole in the wall feel to it, you order at the counter and wait for your food (about 7-10 min wait). Also as a FYI they close at 8pm now not 10pm. The kimbap portions are on the generous side, one kimbap is enough per person. It also comes with free soup. We tried 3 kimbaps: Spicy squid- made with fresh squid, not the dried kind! It is spicier than average, so be warned. Spicy tuna- The tuna is sort of like the spicy tuna from sushi, but less "creamy" if that makes sense. They give you a generous amount of tuna in the roll. Pork cutlet- This is basically katsu inside kimbap, good thick cut of fried katsu with katsu sauce on top. Not spicy at all. All three flavors were really good and not too expensive either. I'd definitely like to come back! read more

I've tried spicy tuna kimbap from so many different places but the ones from here are by far the best and my favorite! Their tuna is always fresh and tasty with just the right amount of kick. I like the fact that they keep it simple with just carrot and radish while other places also add pickle, egg and even ham to their spicy tuna kimbap but hey, different strokes for different folks. An order comes with 12 pieces, a cup of miso soup and it's pretty filling. You could literally eat them any time of day since they open at 7 am. I also like their crispy chicken with honey mustard sauce. I've gotten it for parties and it was a big hit. There's a small parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking. Highly recommend trying their kimbap and crispy chicken! read more

My family and I LOVE this place so much. We always order the crispy chicken for big family gatherings and they are always a huge hit with everyone. There are various order sizes for the chicken. You can order 3 pieces, 6 pieces, all the way up to 25+. I've seen tons of people walk out with boxes holding 50+ prices. We also love their kimbap, which are made fresh after you place your order. Our favorite are their tuna and spicy tuna kimbaps. The food is reasonably priced and the ladies who run the counter and help make the amazing food are always kind to us when we visit. The store shares a parking lot with the bank next door; you can find it in the back. If you're ever in the area, definitely swing by for some delicious food. read more

Dontaksu was delicious and very filling. The pork cutlet was thick, crispy and delicious. However, the salad was plain and boring. I wish they would have served cabbage salad with thousand island dressing as that would have improved the dish immensely to cut through the heaviness of the pork cutlet. I would definitely order it again. They have tables inside but make sure you remember to order at the front. The only bad thing is that it was so hot in there so it was pretty unpleasant to eat inside. read more

Best rolls in the neighborhood in my opinion. I tried all the surrounding spots like Rolly Kimbap and other Korean chains that sell Kimbap but this one hands down was the most fresh and delicious. Mushroom Kimbap had a ton of mushrooms and was flavorful. Mushrooms were tender and seasoned well. Kimbap just went down so well , moist and not dry like other chains. Dumplings were so crispy and hot and just hits the spot. Omurice would have tasted great with meat or hot spices peppers in my opinion as it was too sweet. Just tasted like ketchup but can't complain. Tasted great too. Great spot, the workers know what they are doing. 100% recommend read more

A few Yelpers recommended this kimbap place on Northern Blvd so I decided to try it out. Yelp says the restaurant closes at 10 pm but after I ordered, the lady told me to come in 10 minutes (7:45pm) I was 20 minutes away...If she had told me at the beginning of the call, I would not have gone through the hassle of ordering and picking up. When I arrived only half the order was ready. They did not understand English on the phone so it was difficult to order anything. They also did not have anything else on the menu available besides kimbap. I would give 3.5 stars since the kimbap here is not anything spectacular but it is neatly packaged. The spicy squid, spicy pork, bulgogi kimbap were ($7) each. The sausage kimbap is very plain with lettuce, egg, carrot, and lettuce for ($5). read more

Still remember coming here during my high school days and recently came back to pick up some kimbap to go. Kimbaps were great as usual BUT this time I also got the crispy chicken since the pictures on yelp looked so delicious and best decision I made! It was so delicious and crispy even after a 20 min car ride back home. Service was fast and there were a lot of tables to eat there as well. read more

Note: Hours have changed due to COVID. At the time of my visit, hours were posted as 7 AM - 9 PM. The kimbap is delicious. Good filling to rice ratio, structurally sound, plentiful meat, and good rice texture. Simply spot on. Kimbap comes with a little paper cup of soup which has a bit of spice to it. The omurice was bland and had a few sad looking veggies that may have been from a can. The donkatsu was dry, a bit tough and also on the bland side. The non kimbap dishes come with a small side of iceberg salad with some ranch dressing instead of cabbage salad. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dishes, but will just stick to the kimbap next time. While not unpleasant, the lady manning the front desk was a bit brusque. Food took about 20 minutes to prepare during what I expect was an off peak time (before 8 AM). Credit cards are accepted with $10 minimum. Parking available in the back. read more

Kimbap makes a nice snack between meals. My friend and I stopped by here to grab kimbap and it was overall okay. I got the Spicy Tuna Sesame Leaf Kimbap. This is normally my favorite kimbap to get at any place. The combination of ingredients were good but I felt that the kimbap needed more sesame oil on the seaweed and on the rice. Sesame Leaf adds a refreshing taste to each bite. It was okay but I have other kimbap spots that I like better. read more

Updating my review after trying the spicy squid and bulgogi kimbap today. Omg the spicy squid is SUPER SPICY! I have pretty good spice tolerance, so I actually really enjoyed it, but it could definitely be way too much for other people. I'm also skeptical when it comes to bulgogi kimbap because I find that the beef can be a bit dry, but this one was pretty moist. Both were yummy! read more

Nolbu Sushi is a great place to take out Korean kimbap if you're looking for a quick, cheap meal. The kimbap are reasonably priced and are packed with ingredients that one order leaves you quite content. There are plenty of options, but my favorite is the classic spicy tuna. Here, the staff pack the kimbap full of spicy tuna and daikon and carrots. It glistens in the light, as you can see that sesame oil they put on the rice. Depending on your spice tolerance, it might pack some heat, so make sure to stuff yourself with those slices of pickled radish in between kimbap. However, if you are looking for more, the crispy fried chicken serves as a great snack in addition to your kimbap. The honey mustard that they give you on the side serves as the perfect complement to the chicken, as it gives you a sweet, but tangy sauce to the oily chicken. The chicken appears to be fried with rice krispies as batter, which is quite unique, as I haven't seen any other fried chicken like this. The rice krispies give a nice crisp, crunch to the otherwise tender and juicy chicken. Overall, Nolbu is the perfect spot if you need a quick lunch on the go. I've seen people order lots of fried chicken on the go as well, so they are good at accommodating large takeout orders too. read more

This has quickly become my go to place for delicious kimbap. There are a wide variety of kimbaps to choose from and they also make some creative ones.

It's very easy to order online and the food is very fresh. read more

I ordered the eel kimbap, omlette rice, pork cutlet and crispy chicken. The kimbap was pretty disappointing since there was barely any eel in it, but the crispy chicken was really good. The chicken was tender and super crispy and so meaty. I definitely recommend this. Overall, the meal was just ok, but the crispy chicken was exceptionally good. read more
