" Had a wonderful experience at The Kimbap! We loved the kimchi buns, and the tuna kimbap was outstanding! You can taste the authenticity of every roll. The owner took great care to make sure we had everything we ordered and gave us good recommendations. Although it's a takeout-only location, we enjoyed eating there at the park nearby. Will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to The Kimbap was pleasant! The tuna kimbap was excellent, offering authentic flavors and generous portions. The only downside was I felt a bit cramped due to the small takeout space, but the service was friendly and prompt. I will definitely come back to try more rolls next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying the kimbap here given all the rave reviews. While the flavors were good and there was a large selection, I was a bit underwhelmed. I felt the portions were a tad small for the price, especially compared to what I usually get from grocery stores. The service was friendly enough, but the packaging for takeout could be improved as well. Overall, it's a solid option but not my top pick. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my experience during my latest visit to The Kimbap. While I've enjoyed their kimbap in the past, this time the portion felt smaller, and I had to wait a bit longer than usual. The flavors remained solid though. I might give it another chance but having mixed feelings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered The Kimbap and wow, what a gem! The kimbap rolls are truly authentic, reminiscent of a cozy Korean home. I tried the spicy pork kimbap, and it had the perfect kick to it! The owner was super friendly, and everything was packed nicely for our trip home. I love that they offer such a variety, and I can't wait to go back and try more. They definitely have my vote for best kimbap in LA! " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality at The Kimbap is unmatched! The spicy squid had just the right amount of heat, and the rolls were filled with all the delicious ingredients. Just be aware that it’s takeout only, but they pack everything well! Definitely a top choice for my takeout meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a lover of Korean cuisine, I was thrilled to come across this place! I sampled various kimbap flavors, including tuna and beef, and they did not disappoint! The freshness of the ingredients was top-notch, with a great balance of flavors. I also enjoyed the complimentary banchan. It's definitely more than just a takeout spot; it feels like a little piece of Korea amid the LA hustle. Kudos to the chefs and staff! " (*Curated Review*)
