Delicious, big bites but each piece was very pricey. Nice packaging
The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.

This place was so good. I suggest going with a group to try different things. There is a lot to choose from. Make sure to look at the hard copy menu since there are more options than what is on the over head board. We shared a bulgogi, spicy pork, spicy grab and unagi yubu. We also got the rose toppoki. It has the right amount of heat and the rice cakes were nice and soft. The meal also came with miso soup that was also delicious. I wish there was one closer to where I live but glad there isn't because I would eat there too much.

We were looking for a place for a fun little night out for our six year old. They love sushi and we were heading into LA to visit Levian Bakery, so I looked for a fun place in that general vicinity that wasn't too expensive. King Yubu fit the description.
I looked up food pictures prior to arriving because we only eat meat for seafood. I did not look up pictures of the area though, so I was a bit concerned when I saw the location was in a small shopping center. Luckily I found a parking spot, and once we entered my concerns were calmed. The seating area is small, but in a cozy way that still allowed us to order and air immediately on a Saturday evening. It seems like most of their business is takeout based on the delivery drivers repeatedly entering and leaning. For the three of us, we ordered the spicy tuna yubu, spicy tuna handroll, white mountain sushi roll, and kimchi fries. Serving size was apple for the price, and we likely over orders a little because we were intrigued when we saw the menu. We still managed to finish everything and tried a couple of their teas. It was all wonderful. Service is minimal, but it's all that you need and extremely friendly.
If you're going for your first time, you have to do the kimchi fries and try a few yubu. I also saw someone else with the topokki and wish we would have tried that too. Don't simp on the tea either, it's worth it.

The food is really affordable and, most importantly, very tasty. The girl at the counter was very friendly and approachable she took the time to explain how to use the wrappers to eat the food, which was definitely a plus.
I tried 6 Yubu, each one with a different flavor, and all of them were good every one had its own unique taste.
The place has a café-style vibe. The floor could use a little more care, but overall it feels casual and relaxed. It’s very popular with young people, and you can tell it has a TV playing Korean music videos, which gives the place a cool, modern vibe.
There are several businesses in the small shopping center, but parking is limited, so plan ahead, especially during peak hours.
Simply put… I liked it and I’d come back.

Yummy & cutesy! I’ve been to the place three times and had the lunch special twice. It’s surprisingly very filling. Casual and cozy vibes :)

I ordered spicy chicken, beef belly, and king yubu. The flavors of the spicy chicken and beef belly were excellent, and the sauce mixed well with the rice. The king yubu was light and refreshing. They also have a lunch special for $16.99, which includes a drink!
Delicious food! Sketchy people outside which made it a little less enjoyable, but the food was so good that we would be willing to go back.

It might be my mistake to walk into this place at the Cmas day, but we had very disappointed experience today. The food is ok but the young lady behind cashier, I have no word for her. Since the moment we (my wife, I and my son) come in and sit down, it seems like we are not welcome and at the wrong place at wrong time ….i understand this is small restaurant and self service, but there is no manners from this young lady, we are invisible for her and It is even difficult to get a extra bowl from her. I don’t usually give bad reviews, but I will never eat at this place again.

I really bigbacked here after I was studying in the area 😋 aside from the cheese corn and Philly hand roll, I did buy 3 pc of yubu! onion mayo karrage, Philly, and the grilled bulgogi, which i downed asap, but next time ill get a pic. The 3 pc was ab 20$ total, but they have a lunch deal for a 3 pc with a drink for 16.99$!! Then the hand roll and cheese corn was also 20$ . All were delicious!! I was full just from the 3 pc yubu, but I couldnt resist i love corn cheese 🤩

Sushi: old smelly fish, no wasabi, no taste and to top it off expensive. $75 for 3 rolls and a soda can.
Not what I expected, not what I saw on other pictures.
