Located in K-Town, I’ve been hearing a lot about this spot that specializes in yubu (inari) sushi — rice stuffed in a sweet tofu wrap with different toppings. I came pretty close to opening time on a Saturday, and it was already busy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day.

I ordered the spicy salmon, lemon salmon, torched salmon, mentaiko crab, king yubu, and spicy tuna. They were all pretty good, but my favorites were the lemon salmon and torched salmon. The lemon really helped cut through the sweetness and richness of the yubu, and the torched salmon had a nice toasty flavor that made it stand out.

The pieces are decently sized and come packed with toppings, but they run about $6 to $10 each, so you’d probably need three or four to feel full. I like the concept and presentation, but the yubu itself does get a little too sweet after a while. Still, I’d definitely come back for a quick snack or to grab a few for a picnic or road trip.

Swung by the other day and it's a solid, straightforward spot for Yubu chobop (Korean-style inari). We tried different Yubus and Cupbops. My faves were: Queen Mermaid Yubu, Grilled Bulgogi Yubu, Kimchi Spam Yubu, Unagi Avocado Cupbop. The Rosé Tteokbokki was nice too. They have different signature drinks as well, which I got the Shine Muscat Mojito Ade. The prices are fair and the lunch deal with 3 yubus and a drink for around $15 is hard to beat. Other items like hand rolls or cupbop are good to mix in if you’re hungry. Very convenient spot for a quick meal. Will definitely be back to try some other varieties I wasn't able to this time around.

Came here after seeing videos online about this place and left very happily full. A friend and I came around 3pm and it was pretty empty. We order just the yubuchobop, and got 6 of them, and the order came with a complimentary miso soup. I ate 2, spicy tuna spicy BBQ pork. My friend got 2 of the salmon kind but i forgot which ones, a beef belly and a bulgogi one. He loved his, and I loved mine as well. They were very stuffed and each one took more than a few bites to eat. The spicy pork one was my favorite that I ate, and my friend said he loved the salmon one and was glad he got 2.

Not every Korean restaurant truly captures the authentic flavors of Korea, but King Yubu absolutely does. The ingredients are fresh, the seasoning is perfect, and every bite feels satisfying and delicious. What really amazed me was the tteokbokki—it tastes exactly like what you’d get at the best restaurants in Korea. So many places here serve a kind of ‘fusion’ version, but this is the real deal. 🍣🍤🍙🍘On top of that, the prices are affordable, making it unbeatable in value. It’s a place where you can eat well, feel full, and already look forward to coming back. Highly recommended! 😋😋

Small lychee drink 7 plus dollar after taxes is ridiculous

Delicious and fresh food. I ate them all within 2 minutes, it was so good and flavorful. The price is right for the quality, I give it 5/5. This is a good spot, ignore the haters. In Los Angeles it is not easy to open a business. Congratulations to the business owner, Happy New Year and bless you 대하민구. 🇺🇲 🇰🇷 Aigoo 맛있어요.

Super affordable and top notch food !!!! We had the corn cheese and got a huge amount which was perfect to split. We also got the sweet and spicy rice cakes which were super crunchy and the spicy bbq pork yubu

First time trying Yubu and they were delicious—definitely worth every penny. Although the parking situation was a nightmare, that's expected in such a compact neighborhood. The cozy little spot is tucked away in a small building

Ok, I’m embarrassed to admit that I never knew what Yubu was until today. I was in the area after taking my bike to a shop and decided I wanted to get some lunch. This place came up on my search and it looked good so I stopped in and ordered their lunch special (any 3 yubu and a drink) for $16.99. I ordered the Lemon Salmon, King, and Torched Salmon.

Ok, for anyone else who didn’t know, they’re stuffed tofu skin pockets. They looked small, but are actually pretty hefty and filling. Rice was spilling out as I happily bit into each piece. They give you gloves to eat them with if needed. I was already full after my second serving. Each flavor was very tasty, and I highly recommend the ones I ordered. Like eating sushi, but instead of nori, it’s fried tofu. Loved them!

The space is pretty casual and clean. Service was quick and friendly. Parking was easy- there’s a small lot right in front of the building. Overall, I’m happy I tried it. I will definitely get it again.

We picked some of the popular dishes suggested. My favorite one was the king which was a fresher dish. The food was good and service was quick with friendly staff. Overall the atmosphere there was nice with some music playing.
