AVOIDThe kimbap was okay with a lot of crunchy carrots- maybe too many. The area around the register was cluttered and there was even a tacky sign telling to go customers to wait outside which I thought was extremely unwelcoming. I also observed the cashier eating in the food prep area and then placing orders into bags along with napkins and chopsticks. She did this with food all over her hands (no gloves) and without concern for proper food handling.AVOID

Love this restaurant. The wait time was supposed to be 20+ minutes but I feel like I got it in less time. It's nice to see everyone working at a tolerable speed where I don't think they're stressed out and orders aren't taking more than 20 mins. My experience with Kimbap at other restaurants is they take more than 30 mins because they're also dealing with online orders, phone orders and in house orders. But I believe everyone at this restaurant was doing that but still making good time management without sacrificing the quality and presentation of the food. I had an order of beef kimbap and an order of spam Kimbap. I'm looking forward to trying out more of the menu here when I'm in the area.

Great selection and for the price, so much food. This was plenty enough for my boyfriend and I this time around. Service was super friendly, and plenty of seating.

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with Lanz G's review regarding tipping. That is, a rude staff member requested a tip if we decided to dine in. No one was in the restaurant when my, wife, daughter, and I walked up to the register and ordered $85.00 of different types of kimbap, Korean chicken wings, et al. We told them that we wanted to eat inside the restaurant, but because we ordered too much for the three of us, I simply asked if they could already put our food in to go containers so it would be easy to take home what we couldn't finish. They appeared to understand our request and obliged us. We chose a table and sat down and waited for our food to come. While waiting we talked about ordering additional Kimbap based on the ones we tried and liked.A Korean female staff member subsequently brought out our food to our table. However, we noticed it was all packaged up as a to go order in a bag and all. We simply looked at it as a misunderstanding/communication error and looked forward to opening it up and eating some of it there. However, before we could untie the bag, the same Korean lady kept her hand on the bag and told us that if we wanted to eat inside we would have to tip her. Seriously?!I was taken aback by that statement and rather than argue/communicate further with her. I just acknowledged what she said and walked out with my family to eat the food at home. Regardless of the actions of this employee, the food was delicious and what we expected and wanted.It's just too bad the customer service was terrible and because of it we will never dine in!

My parents are in town and my mom really wanted JapChae. I found KP on postmates app and took a chance on their kimbap, glass noodles (jap chae) and bulgogi and was very happy with the food! Very delicious and great portions!!

Originally was heading to BCD but then I saw that KP was in the same plaza and I changed routes real quick! Soo glad I did! This place is legit. Super clean, bright, friendly staff.Awesome price points for the quality and food you get. Tuna Kimbap - nice change from the beef, ham and fishcake offerings I usually see. Very filling and tasty.Fishcake Soup - HUGE portion size and the broth was soo good to go with the kimbap.Spicy Jjol Myun Noodle - so so glad I ordered this. Nice spicy kick to add to the meal and you could taste the freshness of the crunchy veggies mixed in. All in all, I wish I lived close by, I'd chow down here at least once a week.

This place was good-ish. It was just okay, I've had better and I don't think I'd go back but there wasn't anything particularly *bad* about it. I tried the shrimp and beef kimbap. Shrimp was more flavorful and Everyone liked the shrimp ones in my house, but we felt like we had to re-doctor the beef ones to really enjoy. Really appreciated the extra pickled daikon. Kimchi was in small supply but decent. Ambiance is busy busy. Inside is quite snug. I felt like I might hit someone in the head while reaching for my wallet to order. Perhaps this is why there is a sign instructing take-out customers to wait outside. Service was generic. No one really greeted or smiled when I entered. Like I said, probably won't be back.

Price very reasonable. Beef kimbap was a bit bland. But tuna was good. Wish dukpokki was less seasoned like all of the seasoning such as sugar and sauce all stuff was a bit too much to me. I had to drink lot of water.
