"Whether it’s off the rack at H Mart or from a stand in a plaza food court, Koreatown has lots of options for a quick kimbap lunch. But not every roll is created equal. Great kimbap is all about ratios, and at Kimbap Paradise, a casual all-day spot on Vermont, they have it down to a science. We love the thin ring of rice that’s nearly bursting with protein and vegetables, as well as the not-so-standard fillings options like fried shrimp or pickled jalapeño. And because kimbap is always better when paired with something else, add some spice too, with their chilled jjolmyeon or chewy tteokboki." - Cathy Park
