Purchased pork bone (gamjatang) from freezer section. Absolutely to die for! Flavors are incredible. Thawed for 12+ hours, heated on stove.

I was really hungry after some grocery shopping so I stopped in for some gimbap. I ended up getting the bulgogi gimbap and it was even better than H-Mart’s! Perfect temperature and balance of ingredients. The banchan display was a little sparse and I didn’t buy any, but it all looked so good and fresh. I should come back sometime! The man who helped me was very polite, too.

K-recipe is mainly a to-go eating place but does have one table with two chairs inside. The food is usually good and on the pricey side. The gimbop is decent but does not always have a good amount of meat in it. The kimchi fried rice with ham is very good but on the small side for the price. My son really liked the fried rice and it tastes close to home made. The fried race also has a good yoky egg with it to mix up before you eat. If you are in the area and want a quick to-go Korean food this is a decent place to stop by.

It was my first time coming to K-Recipe and I absolutely loved it! I got the Kimchi and ham fried rice which was steaming hot and delicious! Customer service was great and the overall feel of the place was welcoming. I also came back to buy kimchi after walking around, and though I'm not a kimchi expert, I think it's got a good crunch and balanced taste.

My and my family's absolute favorite place to get Korean food, especially the sides. My mom could eat their tteokbokki every day if she lived local. We come here whenever she's in town so she can enjoy authentic tteokbokki. Their braised potatoes are amazing, but really so are all of their side dishes. I wish we lived closer so I could eat here more often!

I went back today and they now make Gim Bop to order so it's fresher than ever. I thought this was going to be an update to my original review...

I shop here often and buy a lot of dif items here. Everything is good. They have a huge variety of items and everything is fresh, clean tasting, healthy and delicious. Service is friendly, shop is clean and check out is easy. You should try this shop.
-------January 6, 2024------1 star I am sad to say that the morning after I ate food from this restaurant, I suffered from food poisoning. I can't remember the last time I had food poisoning, but it was horrible. K-Recipe was the only food I ate on Jan. 5, so it is the only thing that could have given me food poisoning. Just be careful what you eat from here and be sure to cook the pre-cooked items thoroughly before eating them. -------January 5, 2024------- 5 stars I'm impressed with this place! It is like a bodega where you pop in to grab something and then go on your way. Some of the food needs to be warmed up, but it is absolutely delicious! The spicy Korean rice cakes are dished from a self-serve station. They have a wonderful flavor that has a decent kick of spice. There are no tiny sausages in it like other places I've tried, but that's not an issue for me. The pot stickers are also some of the best I've ever had! They are fried, so they're crispy on the outside and the sauce is delicious! The cucumbers are not too spicy, but they are refreshing. The bulgogi is also delicious. I'm blown away by the top-tier service! The owner took the bulgogi and put fresh rice in it for us! She was so sweet and kind when we checked out, and I will be back to get a whole container of their glass noodles. The ambiance is unique. It's super small, but there is a variety of food that you can grab, pay for, and be on your way! If you need a fast, delicious place to go for lunch or dinner, you will love this place!

Been going here for the past few years and they are the best. The store is clean, the kitchen is one of the cleanest i have seen too. The side dishes and ready meals are delicious. Definitely recommend this place!

Please note: I do not know much about Korean cuisine, so take this as a newbie review. I was lucky enough that a regular customer gladly walked me through her favorites which I grabbed.I really enjoyed everything I purchased here, and I think I want to go back and try more and more new items. I purchased a spicy cucumber salad, fish cakes, and kimchi pancakes. Kimchi pancakes were the only item I have ever had before - and this place was far superior in taste.I thought at first, the prices seemed a bit high, but after eating everything, I no longer think that. I think everything was reasonably priced.It is a grab and go place, which I am not used to - but I like the idea. I now can see me stopping in more frequently after work or on busy days when I don't want to cook. I would recommend everyone try it out - even if you are not familiar with the cuisine

The best ddokbbeokki in town. I also like kimchi fried rice and kimbap here. Indeed, the foods and side dishes here are all good (although for fried stuff you will have to buy and eat it when it’s still hot). The price is decent, not too expensive but not cheap. It’s a grab-n-go place so don’t expect any seatingsParking: This place is located in Chinatown so the parking lot is always crowded, especially around lunch and dinner time, as you have to fight with customers of other places.
