The Bop is an underrated experience. I don't know why this place isn't trending on every social media because for this charashi don alone, it was worth every penny. The fish here is so fresh and on a hot summer's day, this dish is absolutely amazing. I felt like it had the perfect variety, while still balancing with the rice ratio and flavor. I'm almost glad this place isn't trending so it can be my little secret. Would highly recommend this place for a quick and easy bite around a busy area. read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing or came on a bad day. My partner and I swung by Bop for a quick lunch, empty on a weekday so we dined in. But it's more of a to-go spot, there's not much seating and there was no music. The staff are direct but cordial. Our orders were out pretty quickly. CHIRASHI DON: The fish is... Fine. Like not my favorite. For some reason it tasted kind of mushy, not the freshest but not terrible? By no means fishy, but definitely not that QQ texture you expect from good fish. The rice is cooked well. The veggies are fresh but don't add much to the overall bowl. Maybe their cooked bowls are better? read more

Went over to my friends new spot which is down the street from The Bop. He was actually cooking us dinner, but ordered a few appetizers to snack on while he finished cooking our dinner. He ordered a tuna with crispy rice thing and chicken karage. I didn't expect much based on appearance alone, but both appetizers were good. I want to try their main dishes next time I am visiting! read more

Great little restaurant for a quick bite of sashimi and sushi. The proprietor was super friendly and accommodating. The venue is clean and airy. We tried a number of items and everything was great. The shrimp and pork katsu were both nice and crunchy. The seafood was all super fresh. The quality of the food is on par with premium Japanese restaurants but at a much more affordable prices. I'd definitely be back for more. read more

Quality of food and service are excellent. We have ordered chirashi in the past, which we also enjoyed and tonight my son asked for the karage appetizer (though he likes it with his siracha spicy mayo..) and the eel tempura bowl.. portions are generous and always a hit! read more

Super friendly staff, tons of different food options both raw and cooked and it's so yummy!!! Could never have enough Asian bowls A little bit pricey in the end, but so worth it !! read more

A tiny Korean/japanese fusion bowl spot near the grove. It's an open setup with a couple tables inside and a couple tables outside, maybe enough to fit about 10 people, so I'd consider it a takeout spot! Seating and setting aside, the bowls are relatively reasonably priced for this area of LA, and the serving sizes were decent. With your order, you get a miso soup bowl and some ponzu(?) sauce along with the standard wasabi and soy sauce. The fish was fresh, really liked the ikura! read more

What an amazing little spot on 3rd near the Beverly Center. Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Thank you for your excellent service. read more

Stumbled upon The Bop while washing my rugs across the street at a laundry mat. Asian food is one of my favorite genres of food, so I set to give The Bop a try. What stood out to me was that this place is a fusion of Japanese and Korean! The menu offered a variety of choices. I ordered the kimchi fried rice. Boy, I was in for a treat!!! The kimchi was spicy just at the right level! The amount of kimchi in the fried rice was perfect. The seasonings, green onions, and seaweed is also on par with the total eating experience of the kimchi fried rice. The store is mainly a small "order to go" brick and mortar. There are only two tables, so don't expect to have a dine in experience like a regular restaurant. Make sure you order your food to eat elsewhere. I appreciate the person I ordered from explaining to me about the place not being a regular sit in place to eat. So take note if you come to The Bop to get food. The Bop is a pleasant surprise for sure!!!! I am definitely going to go back to try some other items they have to offer!!! read more

Love this place. Bulgogi for the win. Always so tasty. Love the little side salad with ginger.

So good!!! And really well priced for good quality. Ate here two days in a row because I liked it so much. Will be my go to spot from now on. Thank you! read more

Good food and very friendly staff. The bowl I ordered was good but I wouldn't say it's anything special. Raw fish with rice and good sauce. The worker was very nice and gave us thorough explanations of each dish, with suggestions on how to eat them. read more

So glad we found this place! My boyfriend and I were in the Melrose place looking for something to eat and we came across the Bop. We ordered for pickup and got the salmon ikura don and bara chirashi don. Both bowls were way bigger than we expected! The fish was super fresh and had a generous amount. The prices were fair for the amount you get as well! The bowls were pretty big so I could only finish half and saved the rest. Great place for some delicious sushi! read more

SOY happy that I discovered @the_bop_on_3rd It's rare that I find a sushi place that I'm impressed with, and I loved how The Bop has some of the freshest sashimi in town while at incredibly affordable prices (especially for LA!) They definitely didn't skimp on the quality, quantity and authenticity of their bowls, and I would highly recommend checking out both their cooked Korean/Japanese sushi bowls. Featured here: Bara Chirashi ($24.90): absolutely loaded with salmon, tuna, albacore, ikura, shrimp and tamago! Highly recommend if you're looking for a fresh sashimi bowl without the sauces typically found in poke. Beef bulgogi bowl($19.50 buy one get one free on UberEats): really impressed with how well packaged it came, and how they have a generous portion of beef. I thought the beef could be a bit more tender/have a stronger flavor, but it's definitely authentic! Also comes with complimentary miso soup and salad read more

The Bop is a small shop located near Melrose street. They specialize in Japanese and Korean rice bowls. The shop is bright with an orange and white color palette. There's no restroom and parking is a bit hard to find. There's a few areas to sit in front. The staff was super helpful which was nice. Overall, ambiance was fine and the service was nice. Food We ordered the chirashi bowl and the spicy pork belly bowl. All bowls are $16-$22. They also came with a salad and miso soup. The bowls were pretty large portions and the pieces of fish were big in the chirashi bowl. The spicy pork belly bowl had the meat and rice split up which was nice. The food was pretty good but there was a lot of rice. Overall, the food is worth the price. Overall The ambiance: 4.5/5 The food: 4.5/5 The price: $$ read more

This place is SO so good!! As a lover of sushi and chirashi, I can say this is some of the best I have ever had. The pieces are super duper thick and the quality is amazing. This is a great spot for takeaway if you're craving some quality sashimi and their other options. You definitely don't want to go somewhere with low quality seafood and risk getting sick. Also in a great location. Staff is very friendly. Will definitely come back for more! read more

As I was driving around, I was looking for something to eat. I came upon this place and wanted to try it out. Since I was craving a poke bowl, I saw that they had a Chirashi Bowl. So, I ordered the bowl with regular white rice. For $27-, the Chirashi Bowl filled me up. Also, it came with miso soup and a free soda with a Yelp Check-in. Plus, I got a tip on how to eat the fish which I appreciated. read more

Great rice bowl meal! Tried the fire chicken bowl for my first order. Liked that the meat is separated from the rice so that it doesn't get soaked in the sauce. Miso soup wasn't the best but liked the side salad that was included. read more

Overall: 4.3/5 (pick up) We ordered online through Yelp for pick up, and the food was ready by the time we arrived. There's only street parking and the store doesn't really have any seating area so it's best for to-go orders anyways. Kalbi Bowl ($20.95): This order comes with a miso soup and salad. The salad has a great dressing. The miso soup wasn't salty and just perfect. The kalbi wasn't in a bowl like the dragon don. It was a 2 compartment box where the smaller side was the meat and the larger side the purple rice. Love the fresh pickled radish and cold temperature contrast. The kalbi was cooked well and lightly marinated, but not amazing enough for us to keep coming back. Dragon Don ($19.80): This don also came with a miso soup. My husband loves unagi and said this don was okay. read more

The cashier was very friendly, service was quick. There is limited seating - it's more of a take out place. But great spot for a healthy lunch read more

I got the chirashi bowl. Most of the fish had no flavor except the salmon. I had to use the soy sauce and the other sauce (ponzu?) to add flavor to the bowl. They give you 2 large chunks of each type of fish. I think I would have preferred it to be cut up more. The miso soup was a little bland but it came with the bowl, which is nice. I would have preferred the salmon bowl with all salmon instead. Note - ordering through yelp has a 20% off a $25 order. That does not work. I tried multiple times adding different items to get my order total to be over $25 and there was no discount. read more

The Bop on 3rd St at the Beverly Grove area offers Japanese and Korean foods. Limited street meter parking only. Outdoor seating only. You place your order and prepay even if dining there. The male staffer was cordial, helpful and nice. I told him it was my first visit and he was nice enough to inform Me of what the menu offered. I had seen pictures on Yelp and was drawn to Dragon Don, and special request to go easy on the sauce for the enagi(eel), served with shrimp tempura, veggies on a sushi rice bowl. I am glad the kitchen was able to accommodate my special request. Because I was dining here, I expected a ceramic bowl/dish as I had seen in the pictures posted by the owner. Upon tasting the miso soup and the Dragon Don, I was bewildered on its deliciousness, 5stars for these alone. When my food was brought out, both the bowl and the complimentary miso were in paper bowls :( Misrepresentation: what was advertised in the pictures by the owner of the foods in ceramic ware but instead served in paper ware! For Me, eating in paper bowl when dining at the place, lessens the dining experience enjoyment. If I ordered it togo, so I can transfer to a ceramic dish, this food would not taste as fresh. 4 stars. If you're not as picky about how your food is served: paper bowl, The Bop is worth a try. read more

Just when I think I've finally narrowed down the freshest restaurants in Los Angeles, I catch a new stop like TheBop. If you too are a foodie connoisseur, don't wait to take the bait. Reel in mouthgasm after mouthgasm. Essential indulgence: -Shrimp tempura -Shrimp Sumai -Tuna Poke Bowl -Chirashi Don Although all of the above are wow-worthy, the shrimp sumai and chirashi don are life-changing. I didn't even know what chirashi was until reading rave reviews, and then completing my Google homework. Chirashi is a variation of sashimi, and is an ideal way to nom your nutrients without feeling like you're on a diet. I started ordering Chirashi at other sushi spots, but TheBop blows them all outta the water. I've only ordered delivery from here twice, but it's already official: I'm hooked. read more

I've ordered delivery twice from the Bop now and been really happy both times. I'll definitely continue ordering from them! A few of the eats I've tried: ~Chicken karage - This is a total win. Crispy, delicious, perfect pieces and perfect sauce. ~Takoyaki - Delicious. ~Bara Chirashi - so much fish, shrimp, the sweetest & best tamago and sushi rice. Excellen fresh dish! ~Dragon Don - is there ever a time eel isn't great!? -Creamy Corn Croquettes - one of my favorite dishes of theirs, I plan on getting this every time. ~Beef Gyoza - pretty standard but still quite tasty. -Spam Masubi - loveeeee. One of my favorite little snacks and I'm happy to report they do it well. The Bop is cool because they have sushi, other Japanese dishes, masubi and croquettes so random other stuff. I'm down with the variety and happy I can get many things all at once place. I will absolutely continue getting delivery from The Bop! read more

Came here because of the very high ratings but definitely feel like it's overrated. As a Korean American I was raised with Korean food and this take on Bulgogi is not exactly how it should taste nor is the quality as expected. I believe the food has decent flavor but appears not as fresh as Korean food should be. The street ambiance is also definitely not the best either. read more

just putting in a quick review bc i loveeee this place. it's really good if you are even considering trying just go and get something i haven't had anything bad here. there's only a couple tables so maybe do takeout. street parking is never that bad here. also every meal comes with complimentary miso soup. so there's that. i wish they also sold kimchi here tho. but besides that super yummy and everyone is nice great business to support. read more

Rec as take out spot only! Small shop to order from and minimal sitting, but awesome flavored bowls. What we ordered: chirashi don w/ diff flavored sashimi, dragon don (unagi), takoyaki & chicken karaage (as BOGO on doordash) - the bowls are DELICIOUS. I ordered a tuna tataki bowl previously from there before and was so impressed by the quality of fish for the price, so we ordered these for dinner one night. So impressed by both the unagi and flavored fish. It's so worth for sub $20! - takoyaki and chicken karaage were just ok. We ordered bc of the BOGO; wouldn't get it without that deal Definitely would come back!!! Presentation was so well done also, for takeout. read more
