By far this is the best rice ball place I’ve ever been to. I used to live a block from here and I would order take out from here multiple times a week. Now that I don’t live nearby, I stop here every time I’m in the area.
My favorites are spicy shrimp and unagi (eel). The unagi does have small flexible bones once in a while but that is just part of ordering eel anywhere. Still amazing! My partner loves the chicken teriyaki!
This place is by far my favorite savory restaurant in the Glendale area. Great, filling meal for $6-$9 ish depending on how hungry you are (2-3 🍙). Tons of outdoor seating across the street.
I’ve tried 🍙 restaurants in Santa Monica, Pasadena, and Northridge. This one has the best filling and the best ratio/the most filling. Everything tasted fresh, does not taste like preservatives.
A must try when you’re in the area! Or even when you’re not! 🍙🍙🍙

These rice balls are stuffed with so much delicious filling! The rice was cooked to perfection and the fillings were so flavorful! I've had the chicken curry and the teriyaki, and my daughter has tried four of the other flavors and we have never been disappointed!

I love their food. It’s our favorite comfort food in downtown Glendale. I hate that we can’t eat at the actual place but the food is still great. Our go-to options are spicy shrimp, unagi and kimchi riceballs 😋

The food was good, but what made bad was the fact that I was asked to leave because I sat down to eat my rice ball. There is no Dine In. As a 7 month pregnant woman I would have expected more. But I get it. I’m just simply not going back there.

I love this place! Consistent, truly delicious, and inexpensive. Definitely my favorite place to get lunch or an in-between meal in Glendale. My go-tos are the beef, spicy pork and crab flavors, the salmon is super tasty as well.

I could eat here every day and never get bored. Cheap onigiri with generous filling and expertly seasoned dried seaweed. They're very quick at making these, and it takes me even less time to eat them. Two or three of these rice balls make the perfect lunch, and I don't ever regret ordering from here. Love you Gam Tu Bop, never change.
Owner does not care about customer service and was incredibly disrespectful. Although the food is decent, I will never be coming here again.

Very dissatisfied with the person that identified himself as the Gam Tu Bop manager. I agree with a different 1 star Google review, —> “They really should improve their packaging, too, as the plastic wrap didn’t seem appropriate for hot food...” Any time I’ve ordered for pickup in the past the order was packaged in a cardboard box. Tonight, when I decided to respectfully speak up to ask for the usual small disposable cardboard box to put my to-go order in to keep warm (instead of the flimsy, thin paper container it came in), this manager told me he will not put to-go order in a cardboard box, in the most rude way, “You can’t have everything you want..” He was annoyed that I asked and lacked customer service skills because that comment and few he made that followed were impatient with sharp tone. Totally uncalled for. Not cool.

Very good food, and good price too. Shame there is no indoor seating though, but a great spot to pick up food from.

The manager was extremely rude about me asking to wash my hands. For a place that has sticky hand food it is impossible to go there for lunch if you are working if there is no place to wash your hands.
Food quality had badly degraded sense pre-pandemic. Interior is a joke
