Bentos went up to $10!!! That's crazy for how small the bentos got over time. Not worth the price, small bentos. Price went up and amount of food went down. Won't be back to this place again, rather spend $10 somewhere else and at least get what I pay for.

Love their selections of the most delicious banchan!! Another must have is their kimbap!! (Too bad they're closed on weekends!!). Order ahead or go in early for best selections! Quaint little hole in the wall - but a must try!

I came to Kum Yo's to pick up lunch before a flight. The parking lot infront was empty on a Tuesday morning. The workers were kind and efficient. You have the option to build your own plate with noodles, meat, and other sides. Everything looked so delicious, but I got one of the premade bentos with meat jun and dumplings. The meat jun was soft and flavorful. I will definitely be back if I ever need a quick meal.

2 stars based on price. I'd give a 4 for taste if it were a little more reasonable.I get it, everything is going up and costs increases get passed on to the consumer. But really, $5 for a 3 inch tuna pattt? $2.75 for a 4 in lumpiaWhose diameter was less than an inch? That's just a bit of aStretch. I think I'll go again, but be mindful of what I'm actually purchasing. FYI- I got choy sum, 2 spam musubis, a tuna patty, a pork patty, a lumpia, 2 mando.$17 I would have been ok. But $21 bleh.

I was headed for the beach and stopped here to pick up some pupus. The ladies in the store were really sweet. I was having a hard time deciding and they were patient with me. I decided on pork tofu patties, Korean chicken, japchae, seaweed salad, shrimps cooked in egg, mandu, and a couple other things. Everything tasted great. My friends and I enjoyed it all. The price was a little steeper than other okazuyas. I think its probably better to go in with a plan!

The WORST korean food ever. Korean chicken tastes and looks like orange chicken from panda express. Both of my shrimp were so undercooked I couldn't eat them. And one piece of soggy mochico chicken was over $5. What an overpriced disaster. $21 plate and I'm throwing most of it in the trash.

Too expensive to justify the amount of food. I could've gotten substantially more at a bunch of other places. Prices should be listed visually next to food as well. Didn't expect the price to be so high. The workers are friendly.

Save your money and go somewhere else that's cheaper. This place is a rip off! Their prices are ridiculous!
