“So glad to have K-Bop in the Benton Park West neighborhood! Quick service & a delicious menu that’s unique to their Cherokee Street location.
The bulgogi japchae is one of my favorite things on their menu, but I’ve not tried a bad dish yet.

Lots of vegetarian-friendly options and there is seating both inside & outside the restaurant. Metered and free street parking are available within a block of the restaurant.“

“First time here and will definitely be back. Everything was great from the staff to the food. All of our meals were fresh and hot and tasted amazing! They had a good variety of meals and sauces to choose from. We all loved it! Thank you ?“

“The food is always amazing!! I try to go there every time I visit St. Louis.“

“Very friendly staff and the food is terrific. It is freshly made, flavorful and a good value. The staff is terrific at making suggestions and will adjust for vegans and vegetarians. It also is locally owned independent business that deserves your support.“

“good hot pot and the pork buns were perfect!“

“The chicken tenders are large and very tasty!“

“Amazing food, friendlg service, and generous portions for leftovers the next day. I would eat here everyday if I could!“

“This is without a doubt the best food in St. Louis. The value you get for your money is unparalleled as they hand prep everything. No short cuts! The staff is very friendly. The location is fun because it's a pinball bar so you can play pinball or get drinks while you wait. The food comes fast. They always have vegan variants on everything so it's a great spot to go for carnivores, omnivores, and all the veggiesauruses out there. The jukebox is all punk rock. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely try everything on the menu but the specials are always the best thing there. My fav specials are anything with Tteokbokki, Garlic Chillicrisp Mandu, and Kimchi Pancakes. Last night I ate a "Korean Crunchwrap" and each bite felt like God telling me I was his most cherished creation. I told my friend about this place a few years back for a first date recommendation and now he's engaged. Coincidence? Definitely eat here!“

“Our family loved it. It’s a cute little place with delicious (and aesthetically pleasing)treats, and the employee was very friendly. There are tables, seating for 2 mostly, and K-pop which my daughter also loved. We’ll definitely return!“

“great food, great service“

“Shoutout to Mr. Luis for being extra kind to our large family! We had a huge order but I never felt like we waited long! The food was delicious and I’m so bummed we do not have one closer to home! Our kids loved their sandwiches and everything else we ordered!“

“Absolutely amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would :) - Papa Shihs' is a total hidden gem among a sea of sameness. First time in today and tried out the Tangsuyuk dish with beef, comes with best sauce on earth and truly the real deal!! Flavor was truly to die for and cannot wait to return + sample my way through the menu. Clean, kind, prompt and genuinely great people all around.“

“Wonderful food. Elegantly presented sashimi, sushi, takoyaki, gyoza, udon, don buri (bowls of food), and other Japanese options. Many many types of sushi rolls. In total, there is not only more than standard Japanese fare, but it is also delicious, high quality, and beautifully presented. Many different sakes, mixed drinks, and Japanese beers along with international Gin, bourbon, tequila, rum options. They even have Japanese soda pop. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely decor with exquisite hand painted scenes. I had been there once before and couldn’t wait to go back for seconds to show my adult son who also, this day enjoyed his food immensely.“

“Best wings I’ve had in a long time. Not from the area but very thankful I found this gem 💎“

“My family love like 👍 good food 🍱“
