Nolbu Nolbu New York

I’ve been getting gimbap from here ever since I was a child.

The taste is still the same and the service is great. I’ve tried gimbap from other places throughout NY, and none of them come close to Nolbu’s. It’s honestly the best you can get.

Their crispy chicken is also wonderful with the light, crispy, and chewy exterior with the juicy chicken inside. A small is enough for me, and even then I have extra left over.

If you’re in the area, craving some gimbap, you should stop by Nolbu. There are so many choices and options that I’m sure you’re bound to find something that caters to your taste buds!

Great Kimbap! Really hit the spot. The fried chicken tenders are exceptional! Make sure you try the curry one.

Out of respect for the food tasting good, I will not give 1 star but I was extremely shocked by the behavior of the cashier. I already paid for the food before it was even served to us and a majority of which was takeout. As we were getting ready to leave, the cashier demanded for tip. While I understand tips are greatly appreciated, they are NOT mandatory. I was certainly not going to tip for the bare minimum, the price I paid for the food pays for that. Unfortunately I will be taking my business somewhere else because I will not eat here in the future if I am made to feel that tip is mandatory. Tip does NOT equal service fee.

I was excited to try this place but unfortunately I received the wrong order and the food was not as tasty as I expected. It's was just okay, also the kimbap I ordered had a sticker on it that it was packed on 6/28 and today it 8/10 so I was given food prepared over a month ago? That doesn't sit well with me and the taste was spoiled. Not worth the money and won't be eating here again.

I’m not sure the receptionist is the owner or an employee, but she is very rude and unfriendly.

Update: seems like quality/supplier changed, doesn't taste good any more.

There are usually no line when I visited. Go for the crispy chicken strip. Its not salty like other places they gives you a muster dip. I do wish there are other dip choices. I also tried their fermented rice drink which was ok, had better.

I've been to a lot of kimbap restaurants in New York and New Jersey, and it's so ridiculous that this is the only place that charges taxes on kimbap, even though I paid it in cash...

Comfort bunsik food. It's not extraordinary, but if you're looking for a quick bite, this is a good spot. The combo gimbap didn't have much flavor. I didn't see the ham inside my gimbap; it just tasted like mushrooms. I didnt like how they used lettuce instead of cooked spinach. The fried chicken breading was good---it had a nice crisp. But ratio of chicken and breading was off; it was more like fried dough. Chicken was also dry. I liked the tteokbokki and gimmari. Tteokbokki wasn't too spicy and they were generous with the veggies. Gimmari was 3 for $5. Kinda pricy for just fried noodle rolls, but they were relatively big, I guess. I paid around $37 for my food.

You're kind, though.
Plastic to cover your mouth while wrapping kimbap
While talking to each other
The way you do it is true.
Eating kimbap
I felt uncomfortable
Wear sanitary products and cover your mouth while working.
I would like it if you could give it to me
