This Kimbop spot in New York City is an absolute culinary treasure, delivering a quick meal experience that sets a new standard for freshness and flavor. For those unfamiliar, Kimbop is a Korean classic, often resembling a savory, cooked seaweed roll, and this place executes it with genius precision. The star of our meal, the Keto Kimbop with Jeyuk (spicy pork), was nothing short of absolutely amazing. It perfectly substitutes the traditional rice with a vibrant, thinly shredded egg base, making it incredibly light yet supremely satisfying—a fantastic option for anyone watching carbs, or just seeking an exceptionally fresh roll. The bold, well-seasoned Jeyuk filling provides a delightful kick of sweet and spicy heat, balanced beautifully by crisp vegetables, resulting in an unforgettable textural and flavor profile that will thrill both seasoned Korean food lovers and curious first-timers. We also recommend the doenjang soup, it pairs really well with kimbop. Tteokbokki was also very delicious, not too spicy, mild enough for everyone. Come check this place out. It is a small place, so ideal for takeouts. Highly recommend!

found this spot and wanted to give it a shot but unfortunately it was kind of disappointing.
firstly, our order was wrong. we specifically ordered brown rice but were given white rice. next, for one of the bowls, the spinach was completely omitted. also, the jidan was kinda sad looking, especially when it’s +$1 extra. it was so dry and flavourless too. the vegetable toppings were so disappointing. it doesnt taste fresh nor anything near what we expected (seasoned with sesame oil etc) and the bulgogi was too, underseasoned and dry.
the few things that were good were the wasabi aioli, gimmari and tteokbokki. other than that, personally we would not purchase the rice bowl again.
there wasn’t anybody dining at the point of the order, so i do not really understand how so many slip ups could happen on my order.

This place was amazing. Everything tasted great and fresh and the bimibap had lots of variety. Really great you can build your bowl with lots of interesting ingredients like roasted burdock. The Ssa sauce was fantastic and the soup was comforting and had delicious tofu and vegetables. Was craving fresh vegetables and protein and this place hit the spot! They have a keto option. The service was great too and helped me assemble the exact bowl I wanted, answering all of my questions. Food was fast too. Highly recommend

I liked the food but the bibimbap specifically was a bit heartless. I feel like it did not come together coherently even with the sauce and the meats were a little stiff. And the staff was not too knowledgeable about the different kimchis or tofu things… I wish they could have guided me in my personalisation of the plate especially once noticed i was a bit clueless. The price is alright for manhattan but there is no seat inside, max 2 ppl. I would go back to try the wrap tho as i have seen great reviews for that!

Finally checked this place out the day after the Feb 2026 blizzard as it was one of the few places open for lunch. Cute shop, friendly service, delicious food. I made my own kimbap and it was stuffed to the brim. I will be back!

Best kimbap takeaway in NYC! There are two stools to eat in if you prefer. I’ve tried all of the kimbap, the soups, the mandoo I bring my own takeaway containers to reduce my single-use plastic and am never disappointed. Fresh and affordable – how can you beat it?

The food was so delicious! It had a great range of traditional and modern kimbap/bibimbap so it’s easy to find something you like, plus you can customize if you want. I especially loved their Tuna Avocado kimbap with the creamy wasabi sauce~

Jeyuk gimbap and tteokbokki were amazing! There’s a small table that only 2 people can sit at and mostly take out. The food was very authentic and run by a Korean owner. I want to visit again!

I am writing to express my immense satisfaction with the “Kim And Bob restaurant”, which I consider a true neighborhood gem. I have been eagerly anticipating its opening since I saw the renovations earlier this year.
I have had the pleasure of trying various items from the menu, including the kimbaps, chicken bibimbap, O.G. Tteok Bokki, Kim Mari (my fav!), and Deenjang Guk, and each dish has been absolutely fantastic. As someone who is Korean-born, I can attest to the authenticity of the food. I especially appreciate the creative kimbap sauces, particularly the black sesame sauce, which is my husband’s favorite!.
In addition to the excellent food, the staff is consistently kind and maintains a pristine clean environment.
Given the quality of the ingredients and the extensive preparation required for authentic Korean cuisine, I believe this place’s prices are quite low. While I appreciate the affordability, I also feel a bit guilty enjoying such amazing food at such a value. I hope you will consider a price adjustment for your food items in the near future. And also our dog (mini aussi) loves to come with me to visit this shop whenever I pick up the food. 🙂
