If you want to feel like you're in Korea, come to Roll House. I'm so happy these are one of the traditional casual eateries that have survived in this complex since my high school years, past covid and even today. Their kimbap varieties are so fun to try so it's better to come with a few people. I like their cheese ramen and tteokbokki and it's good to dip your rolls into the sauce. Reminds me of the odeng in Korea. They are usual pretty quick, but when busy there is a slight wait. Parking is difficult during busy times and the spots are small. read more

Update Dec 2025 Continues to be a go-to for takeout, though we stick to the Combo Roll Gimbap. We usually stick to beef or spicy pork. Most recently I went there to place the takeout order and I waited at the restaurant. It was ready within 15-20 min. Pretty fast considering I wasn't able to call ahead. Anyway, just affirming they continued positive experiences. read more

Hands down my favorite place for gimbap, the rolls are always jam packed with ingredients and have such a good filling to rice ratio. My favorites are the spicy pork and beef rolls. I also really like the pajun here: perfect ingredient to dough ratio, nice crispiness on outside while still chewy on the inside. There's a variety of different kinds of tables and chairs/benches inside. I personally like sitting on the booth side benches because they're pretty comfy! Service here is always very kind and very fast! Parking isn't too hard to find in this plaza either, which is a plus as some other restaurants in the area the parking is much more difficult. read more

The perfect spot to go with friends whenever I crave korean street food style like tokbokki, gimbap and fried chicken. Roll House made these 3 items so delicious and I have been coming here for years and recommending this place to a lot of people. Their food is in big portion, filled with toppings and generous sauce, their banchans also tastes amazing and they serve a special type of tea that i really like. Usually the service is fast and very straightforward, but during my last visit the server was lowkey being rude with our table. When we asked for water with no ice she pointed at the tea bottle and told me that's water, then after brought the water out she rudely took the tea bottle and cup away. When we placed an order she acted confused even though we pointed the item number in the menu. During our meal she kept looking at our table and gave off the weird vibe, when I walked up to the register to pay she rudely shoo me back to my table. after that weird last visit, I guess I wont comeback during dinner time 7-8pm anymore, will stick to my usual 4-5pm visit. read more

I'd always heard great things about this spot as my husband and his coworkers often order their lunches from here via DoorDash so I decided to give it a try for dinner one night when I was craving Korean street food. My hubs and I shared the ddukboki with ramen, the fried seaweed rolls and the spicy pork kimbap. Although we came for dinner on a Tuesday evening, nearly every table was taken. Despite it being busy, our food arrived fairly quickly. I really enjoyed the fried seaweed rolls and ddukboki. The fried seaweed rolls were perfectly crispy and were really delicious to dip in the ddukboki sauce. The staff was friendly and attentive, even refilled all of our banchans (aka side dishes) without us even having to ask. Overall, was a great first time dining experience. Roll House has definitely replaced the previous Korean street food restaurant we used to go to. The only caveat is that it closes kinda early so it's not ideal for late night eats but that won't stop me from coming back for another round of fried seaweed rolls and ddukboki. read more

Really amazing Korean food with LARGE portions. FOOD [4.5/5] =========== + Free Miso Soup & Banchan (5/5) Delicious, good portion size, and great diversity in flavor. + Ddokboki (3.5/5) Not flavorful IMO, but the portion size is impressive. + Yuk Gae Jang (5/5) SO YUMMY. Humongous portion of beef, egg, and noodle. The spicy stew is cooked to perfection and bombards you with spicy flavor. I thought the spice was pretty mild, just a great balance. SERVICE [3/5] =========== -1 star only because one of the staff can be a bit ... stern at times-- they got annoyed when we asked a question about the rolls, and were a bit rude about accommodating our friends' meat allergy. They were more friendly after the dinner rush ended, but the abrasiveness left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the meal. :( read more

Their sides are phenomenal!!!! Went to this place with friends for lunch and it's a pretty tucked away place. The service was not as phenomenal but they met our every need, refilling our sides and listening to our requests. I got the Ramen Combo and it felt like something I could put together easily at home so it didn't feel that worth it to me but the kimbap was so yummy along with the tteokbokki. Would recommend for a hole-in-the-wall korean food spot! read more

Great portion sizes here! I haven't ventured outside of the kimbaps here (since that's what they are known for), but the kimbaps have been more than enough to make me super happy. They are all delicious - every flavor has a solid, delicious baseline, but each flavor also offers up it's own element that you can clearly taste as well. Banchan is all delicious, service is super kind, and it has that homey, hole in the wall vibe that makes you feel super comfy. Prices are aligned to other Kroean restaurants in the area, however these are def one of my favorite kimbaps on el camino! read more

Roll House is one of those restaurants that you drive by, know it's there, and may never stop for. However, those people are missing out if they never visit! It's in an unassuming plaza next to busy streets and under apartments. Plenty of parking as well. The wait to be seated is never too long and sometimes nonexistent. There's a TV playing Korean reality shows which is always amusing. The place is a fairly casual sit down restaurant. I've come to Roll House so many times and love their gimbap. The rolls are huge and fully packed. The fried shrimp roll has the best sauce in it. It is similar to a honey mustard taste so if you're a fan, it is a must try! The shrimp is always crunchy and never too oily. The other rolls aren't as flavorful in my opinion, but they're still good. The price is definitely worth it! They even have an option where you can order more specific select rolls for a bundle price. Orders come with banchan and soup. They also provide you a pitcher of barley tea. It's a great place to stop by if you're with a friend and want to catch up over a meal. Food is delicious and banchans are plentiful. Love their fish cake since it's different from other restaurants in the bay. Definitely will be back to satisfy my gimbap cravings!! read more

Roll House - Korean Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Ordered for pick up for the sweet and spicy chicken and cheese tteokbokki with soondae. Both dishes were decent when eating it at home. Though I felt like the coating on the chicken was too heavy and the sauce was over powering. It made it seem like I was eating more batter than chicken. The cheese tteokbokki with soondae had just 1 roll of soondae, a decent amount of rice cakes and fish cakes, but the dish was heavily cheese. The core of the container was a mix of unmelted and melted cheese. Fast forward to after this meal, I was on the freeway driving and I had to emergency find a bathroom because the poop storm had arrived. Literally explosive and lingering after. Whatever was in these dishes did not sit well with my stomach. And it wasn't the cheese because I avoided it. My boyfriend also reported a series of upset GI after consuming these dishes. read more

Super juicy fried shrimp in a classic roll Pork BBQ Roll (6/10): This one was a little dry, but still a solid dish. Worth trying! Pork belly Roll (7/10): Similar to the pork BBQ roll, but with juicier chunks of pork! read more

I've seen this all the time, on late Nights, going towards the Westfield Santa Clara Mall. Today, I'm in the South Bay Area. There's some really hard Working and good people here. When I got here there were a lot of Korean people, that's a good sign it was going to be good. I'm here at Roll House this Sunday Afternoon. I finally got my Korean Seafood Pancake or Haemuljeon 해물전. I'm surprised it arrived Sizzling Hot in a Skillet like a Chả Cá Lã Vọng or Fajita, I didn't expect that. And I can't have it without the essentials, the Banchan was delicious, and the Spicy Kimchi 김치 was fire. This is such a beautiful Giant Pancake. It reminds me of something between a Bánh Xèo, Taiwanese Scallion Pancakes 台式蔥油餅, and Japanese お好み焼き. The Crust on it is phenomenal, it's Crunchy, got a lot of contrasting textures, savory, and I'm surprised it also got some Octopus in it as well. And I don't know if they used something like Bonito in the Soup, but the Broth is light, and very fragrant. This taste authentic. I was thinking this was going to be a 3.9-4.3 stars, I was going to give it a 4.4 stars, this could be a 4.5 stars on a good day, but I give this 4.4/4.5 stars out of 5 stars. I'm satisfied. read more

This Korean restaurant is known for their rolls or Gimbap. The menu had a variety of Korean dishes with plenty of options to choose from. Parking was a bit of a fight since the plaza was crowded and I would say you can expect a wait for this restaurant on a weekend day or at dinner time. Beef Gimbap: Amazing! Each piece was huge and the order came with 10 pieces. This is a must get here since it is what they specialize in. Tofu Soup: Definitely a solid soup, but I've had more flavorful ones. It does the job, but it isn't anything special. Korean Seafood Pancake: Good pancake with a good texture. I somewhat wish there was more seafood in it and it was a bit too oily. It could've been a tad bit more flavorful as well. read more

Delicious food for a good price point! Large portions as well, definitely had enough left over soup to take home! The half and half kimbap (tuna & beef for ours) were large and I loved the ratio of filling to rice! Usually it's too much rice but this was the perfect amount. The rose tteokboki is a good combination of spicy and creamy (think carbonara-esque) with tteokboki pieces, fish cake and bits of bacon! The spicy beef stew LOOKS extremely spicy but it's pleasant! It has a small kick at the end but it isn't overwhelmingly spicy to the point it hurts. It definitely still warms you up from the inside (comes with glass noodles inside and a side of rice.) The ginseng chicken soup is a new item added to their menu and it's simple in the best way, it's hearty and has a rich chicken flavor to it! The service was fast and quick and parking wasn't difficult at all. Tables are small (2-4 people per table) but it's cozy! read more

I've eaten at Roll House and gotten take out numerous times. It's a small hole in the wall type shop and it's usually busy when I stop by for dinner. The service is brisk and polite. Portions are generous. I've had their kimbap, tteokbokki, and soondae. I'm not the biggest soondae fan but I enjoyed eating it with the tteokbokki. I usually order the bulgogi and spicy pork kimbap (which isn't really spicy) which are stuffed with plentiful meat and vegetables. It's a comforting mixture of textures and flavors, I'm rarely disappointed by my order. I particularly like the kimchi here and wish more of it was given with takeout orders. I'm usually here for kimbap but would love to try their other dishes, the menu has a lot of variety. I always see people ordering the pork cutlet plate. read more

Had been wanting to try Kimbapp rolls for a long time and found out this nearby spot served some! Came by on a weekday evening for dinner and were immediately seated by the very welcoming waiter. We ordered the combo rolls with beef, spicy pork and kimchi for $35. We were 3 people and didn't know if it would be enough food but it was! The 3 rolls could have been good for 4 people with how big they were. For the rolls themselves, they were stuffed with filling and had great flavors. I can't compare it to others because it was my first time but I will definitely be back! read more

Roll House - R13 Combo Roll - Korean Near Me - Santa Clara, California

As establishments in Santa Clara's Ktown come and go, one constant remains: Roll House's almost 20 year legacy (and for good reason). From my infancy to post-graduation life, the food has always been consistently good. Though nostalgia's a powerful ingredient, even newcomers are sure to come hungry and leave satisfied. You'd be remiss to leave without ordering their signature kimbap; we've ran the kimbap gamut here and tried the entire menu but keep returning to the chamchi, a testament to how good the tuna kimbap is. Everything else pretty much pales in comparison. Their don katsu is also exactly what you'd want in a classic Don katsu. The crust is light and crispy with an extremely moist interior. You really can't go wrong with this dish. If you prefer variety, I'd order the b12 rice cake and don katsu combo. If you're just bordering peckish, be prepared to leave with lots of leftovers. The portions here are GENEROUS (the serving sizes more than warrant a caps lock), but they don't skimp on the quality. The vegetables are fresh and the kimbap is chock full of meat. I genuinely have nothing negative to say about Roll House! read more

Kimbap here was kind of disappointing . The reviews made it sound like it was going to be the best kimbap but I've had better in Korean markets in Koreatown LA. It was lacking some flavor for me and nothing special. Fish cake was not good. It was almost like it was old and been in the fridge for a while because it was dry Worker came to see if we were ready to order 4 times and within 2 minutes each time.. there wasn't a wait so I'm not sure why they were rushing us. After we ordered the food it took a while to get our food but we did order 2 combos of kimbap so it was a lot. read more

This place set a new standard for me for gimbap. The rolls aren't packed with rice. Vegetables and egg were refreshing and packed flavor. Rolls are packed tight, huge and presentation is beautiful. Banchan good and came out fast, refilled just as fast. Also comes with beef soup. Best bang for your buck! The best gimbap we've had by far. We also enjoyed the refreshing ice cold tea! Vegetable roll: 5/5! Usually comes with fish cake but they made it vegetarian with me. Server was informative and let me know, thank you! Spicy pork roll: 4.8/5. Marination on pork needed a bit more flavor and could be spicier, but then again BF spice level is high. Everything else in the roll was delicious. Service: Not most friendly but she's fast and efficient. It was starting to get packed when we got there. 4/5. Side note: you know it's good when all the customers are Korean/asian. read more

This place is not too bad. The sides are pretty good. The kimchi is definitely on point in terms of flavor and taste. We came around lunch time and sat down right away. They gave us sides and hot tea right away. Water is given upon request. We ordered three rolls which were the spicy pork, tuna, and pork belly. The food came out pretty quick. The server was always on the move and very quick in terms of service. The rolls were not bad but I do feel the pork was a bit dry and overcooked. The pork belly was okay but the sauce they added to the roll made it taste a bit weird. The tuna was not terrible. The place is well spaced out so you are not back to back with other tables. Overall the experience was decent. The food was not bad but definitely not the best. You definitely get a lot of food. Three rolls was enough to feed three people. The service was definitely good and quick. read more

We stopped by just for the kimbap after a friend's recommendation.  Went for the fried Shrimp, pork belly, kimchi, and they were all delicious.  Since they are made to order, be prepared for a bit of a wait but it will be worth it.   The fried shrimp is similar to a shrimp tempura and since someone is shellfish intolerant, I had to eat the whole thing myself which was a bit much.  The pork belly is a solid choice and the kimchi refreshingly light to offset the other two heavier rolls. read more

So glad to have discovered this place! First of all, the kimbap here are huuge, just like everyone says. We got three rolls and they were easily two meals for each of us. Super great value. We love the crispy shrimp and the bulgogi rolls the best, that shrimp stays really crispy and has a yummy mayo sauce which is great. We were a bit underwhelmed by the bbq pork, which was really dry and didn't really taste like anything, it almost didn't feel like meat. I also wish the tuna was more flavorful, but overall I still like it! The service is always so friendly and helpful, and the banchan it comes with is really nicely packaged and delicious. Great place for kimbap, and I want to try their other Korean food too! read more

Roll House is one of those spots you visit more for nostalgia than standout flavor. I ordered the Roll and Tonkatsu--both were solid and comforting, especially if you're in the mood for something familiar. The food comes out fast, which is always appreciated. The ambience has a homey, no-frills vibe with Korean variety shows playing on the TV, adding to the casual, lived-in feel. It's the kind of place that reminds you of a neighborhood joint back in Korea. That said, the side dishes are forgettable. The fish cake is always dry and tough, and the soup leans heavily on salt and MSG--definitely skippable. Prices have crept up like most Korean places lately, so expect to spend at least $30 per person. Service can be hit or miss--some staff are efficient and friendly, while others might be short-tempered if it's a busy night. Overall, come for the comforting main dishes and that cozy, familiar atmosphere. Just don't expect much from the banchan. read more

Came here for lunch at 11:30 and it wasn't super crowded. We ordered the Combo Roll and chose spicy pork, spam, and kimchi as our 3 flavors.

Will come back and try some of the noodles and rice dishes next time. read more

Roll House is one of my go to spots to introduce my friends to Korean food. It's not the biggest place, so large parties may be tough to fit. But, I'd recommend going because I haven't been disappointed once with the food. The staff is super nice and they usually get your food out to you fairly quickly, even with a crowd. My comfort food orders are the rabokki (tteokbokki with ramen) and half and half gimbap (10 pieces). This is usually a good amount for 3 people with an average sized appetite. I've also had their bibimbap which was also a great dish for sharing! read more

The only thing I'd pass on is the chicken wings. There's better else where. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy. Wouldn't recommend for parties bigger than 6 people.
