ordered a quick pickup order during my lunch break and really enjoyed the bulgogi kimbap. i love that it came with a sauce as well :) really good spot if you're looking for a quick bite
I saw this fast casual spot while walking around Chinatown and knew I had to try it! The 6 pieces of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) were huge and boneless, tasting delicious and freshly tossed. I got the spicy and sweet version that wasn't that spicy. I got the Bulgogi Kingbob too cause i thought i would be hungry and the portion was quite large too! Service was fast and friendly! I highly recommend!
There are a few good vegan options on the menu, so I came in to order take out. I got the Yubu Kimbap and Haecho salad, and enjoyed them both. My meal was made with fresh ingredients, I just would've liked more tofu in my roll. But I still found it tasty and filling. The cashier was very friendly and brought my order out as soon as it was ready. The restaurant was simple and very clean inside.
My friends and I randomly discovered this place and we LOVE IT! It has really nice employees, really yummy food, and some great kpop videos playing that really create an awesome vibe! We had friends visiting and we wanted to get some kimbaps (rice rolls) to share, so how could you go wrong with a place call Kingbob? It's their specialty! We ended up getting the bulgogi kingbob, jaeyook kingbob (spicy pork), yangnyeom KFC (sweet & spicy Korean Fried Chicken), spam kimchi fried rice, and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). All of it was great! The spicy pork, fried rice and, fried chicken, and the rice cakes all had the right amount of spicy to satisfy our bellies. My favorite thing to do was dip my kimbap in the tteokbokki. It had a really delicious spicy sauce that complimented the rice rolls so well! Really love this place! Can't wait to get more next time!
Easy lunch for my in office days. The food is light and not too filling so I can continue my work day. The restaurant has some small tables but I believe people normally just order to go. I always get their kimbap which holds me over from lunch to dinner and if I feel like I need a little extra- i would order the dumplings which are super crispy.
Super quick! Super fresh! Super delicious! Space is limited inside but we were lucky enough to snag one of the tables. Service was quick and easy. I tried the original kimbop which tasted so fresh. It is a bit messy though but worth it. It also (surprisingly) came with miso soup which always hits the spot. The pork dumplings were also great!
Very good, freshly made gimbab. The quality is even better than some Korean restaurants in the city. They seemed to add more items to the menu. The jajjang teokbokki looks very good, I will come back to try it next time. Strongly recommend this place for lunch.
Affordable and yummy! Located at the edge of Chinatown and the Financial District, this is a great place for lunch. They have plenty of seating and are usually empty. Korean places in SF are rare and places specializing in kimbap are even more rare (ALL UNDER $10) so this definitely feels like a hidden gem. I like the Bulgogi & Spicy Pork kimbap and their Korean Fried Chicken (boneless but still juicy and with a great crunch). Their tteokbokki, mandu, and kimchi fried rice are meh though.
Feb2024 4.5 I'd say. We stopped in for some quick grub before the festivities started. Service was very friendly and helpful with any questions. Everything was simple, and well priced for our needs. Service checked in frequently and we were able to get more of the broth upon request. We had gotten the fried chicken half n half on flavors to share, and I had ordered a kingbob with just veggies. The flavors were good and simple. Compatriot really liked the bulgogi dish she had gotten though the star for her was a seafood broth that they were testing out. Considering proximity to the festivities, good flavors, and a really nice experience at the place this worked quite well for us. Would definitely stop by again for a quick bite with prices that work well around the area..
