I decided to stop by Yum Sem Eats for the very first time and it did not disappoint. This place was very spacious, clean, and bright with different seating arrangements for comfort. I was greeted upon entry and it took no time for my order to be placed. I ordered the bulgogi beef bowl and the dragonfruit drink. Both was very delicious and filling to say the least. I loved that they had an area next to the table on the floor where ladies can put their handbags so the table can have as much space to eat as possible. Overall, nice place to go eat lunch or dinner. read more

Came in for dinner and it wasn't busy at all. Nice open space that's clean and inviting. Place your order at the register and it's delivered to you at your table. Food was out fast and was hot and fresh! Hubs and I both got bimbimbap bowls. He got the braised beef and I got the bulgogi. Both very very good! If you are not tolerant of spice I'd recommend getting the sauce on the side because it does get rather spicy the more you eat. I also got the passionfruit green tea which was very good also. This is a place that we'd come back. read more

This Korean street food spot is seriously a hidden gem. Everything we ordered was so good--flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked.

What I ordered: - Rosé Tteokbokki: Rice cake, halal sausage, scallion, onion, seasoning, cream - Spicy Mayo Tuna Kimbap: Roasted seaweed, rice, sesame oil, pickled radish, braised burdock, carrot, spinach, spicy mayo tuna, perilla leaf - Jangjorim(Braised Beef) Bibimbap: Rice, romaine lettuce, carrot, scrambled egg - read more

Pros: Simple but clean cafe seating. A variety of Snacks/smallentres and drinks Drinks include teas/slushes/smoothies and are at most $5.25. The food was fresh and tasty. My bibimbap is a meat/veggie/rice bowl with beef Bulgogi ,carrot,lettuce,scrambled eggs, rice and gochujang sauce. 8/10. My mango lemonade was tasty 8/10. Open Sundays until 9 pm! Cons A nitpick but the rice is mostly towards the bottom of the bowl so it doesn't get as much sauce as the protein ingredients. There is no Korean Fried Chicken available. Overall: A nice place to get some snacks/smaller dishes. read more

This restaurant was not open long ago. Restaurant has many Korean street food. We were grateful the owner is friendly. We got the two slushes. One with taro and the other is coffee. Both of them are good. We start with bulgogi kimbap. It comes with good ten pieces. We also got the Tteokbukki. This is shave noodle dish with Korean red sauce. Overall is about 4.5 stars. I hope they are successful since many restaurants had use this location and not successful. read more

Tampa's new Korean eats This fully automated new Korean cafe recently had their grand opening so I just had to check them out. It's great to stop by and support local businesses. This shop is the same own owner as Champion Pizza. Full ramen / ramyun library with induction, just like in Korea Automatic stirring ttoekbokki 떡볶이 cooker to make the perfect chewy rice cakes. No gooey gochujang used, just pure pepper powder and spices. Perfect for dipping their kimbap. The rose sauce is so dreamy. Auto rolling and slicing machine using fresh kimbap ingredients. Automated bubble tea machine to make the perfect teas that are not too sweet. Fast casual atmosphere. Order at the counter and wait for the magic to happen. read more

Excellent service food and I'll be back! I came in craving japchae noodles and unfortunately they don't have that on the menu. I was lucky enough that the main guy was like, you know what, I can actually make it for you! I was so blown away cus there's no noodles on the menu! What Korean magic is this!?!? Fantastic! The food was great! They smiled at my horrendous attempt at pronouncing their menu items and were kind enough to teach me. I ate in and was pleased so much with my lunch order that I ordered food to take home for the teens for after school. One thing that I appreciated was how concerned he was with my wait time. He checked in with me a few times to make sure I was ok with the wait for the special item. So considerate. Absolutely worth the wait! read more

This place has a lot of potential. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the staff was friendly. I love that they offer Hilal meat, making it more accessible for those with dietary restrictions. However, my friends and I weren't impressed with the food. While nothing was outright bad, it wasn't particularly great either--just okay. Perhaps it's because I grew up with authentic Korean cuisine, and the flavors didn't quite hit the mark. The kimbap was bland, and the rest of the dishes didn't stand out (seafood pancake & dumplings, beef bibimbap). For $6, the ramen shouldn't have been overcooked, and they diluted it with so much water that the flavor was barely noticeable. There are definitely better alternatives than here if you're looking for authenticity. read more

Classic Korean street food menu! The rose tteokpokki and tuna kimbab really go well together! You can also dip kimbab into tteokpokki sauce, making it extra tasty. Their drinks are alright. I prefer Korean can drinks, which they also have. The service is good. read more

Look, this is new location that opened up after another Korean restaurant may not have done well in the past. While the menu is different, it hasn't improved. They do "street food " from Korea. But it included ramen bowls, which I believe is more Japanese than Korean. My wife and I ordered their Kimbap ( a type of sushi roll), bbq steak bibimbap dish and a bbq chicken ramen bowl. It was prepared quickly and brought to our table. It was ok. The ramen seemed like it was out of a package bought at a grocery store and they added chicken to it. The bibimbap felt "mushy". The kimbap was solid and tasty. The service was friendly and quick. The prices for the food are very affordable. The environment is like being is a strip mall restaurant. Take a chance and visit. I leave it up to you. read more

This new Korean street food eatery is an exciting addition of Fletcher area. We had 2 types of Kimbap. They were all very good- fresh, big, neatly rolled, good flavor. The fish cake Tteokbokki got flavorful sauce, although a bit spicy for me. I liked the texture of the rice cake. These items I will order next time. The boba drink got room for improvement. Clean room, decent service, affordable price, I don't mind stopping by and grab some kimbap snacks. read more

The tteokbokki was very good. The texture and chewiness of it was cooked to perfection. I particularly liked the rose sauce a lot as it was cheesy and sweet and spicy!! read more

Yumsem Eats - Rose Tteokbokki and Beef Bulgogi Kimbap - Korean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

New Korean Restaurant! This is a successful chain in Korea but the first of its kind in Tampa. The restaurant is cute and it's not a bad location. A little east of 275 on Fletcher. The staff was so nice. They offered to let me try menu items. My kids and I are regular consumers of Korean Food, so there was nothing on the menu we hadn't had, except the buldak sauce. I did try the tteokbokki, and immediately ordered it! I got yumsem tteokbokki, beef bulgogi kimbap, chicken bulgogi bibimbap, and green tea passion fruit w/ mango popping pearls. I will be returning and eating my way through the menu. Everything was delightful for it to be a chain. The bibimbap was different as it's prepared more in a chipotle style. The eggs had so much flavor. High quality ingredients for sure! read more

This place was an amazing find. They specialize in Korean street food. The food is certified Halal, so you know it is good. Although the menu is a bit limited, there is still plenty of super delicious food to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful. Although there is enough seating, it is not fancy and you order at the counter. The food is surprisingly affordable. They are only open until 9PM, I wish that they would extend their hours to 10 or 11PM but they have only been open for a few months, so maybe they will extend their hours, in the future. My family of four was able to eat for under 50 bucks and we still took some food home. We ordered Beef Bulgogi Kimbap, Rose Tteobokki with fish cakes and the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap. They even gave us a seafood pancake, on the house, to try as it is a new menu item. They are on Fletcher, close to USF and I 275. I can't say enough about this place and we are already planning to go back soon. read more
