Kim & Bob Shop

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!

This is one of the tastiest, most affordable bites to eat on the entire West Side! The vegetarian options are delicious and plentiful. The gochujang and kimchi aoili are delicious. I love the Kim and Bob Shop and try to visit whenever I can.

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! 😍

No frills and straight to the point. Don't expect an amazing sit-in experience or a large menu. You pick your kimbap ingredients, they assemble, and you leave. I ordered the 'Cheez' bulgogi kimbap with the chili sauce. It was honestly a regular tasting kimbap at city prices. Nothing special, but it gets the job done. The chili sauce tasted better than I thought and might actually have stolen the show here. You can order your kimbap at a restaurant or local H-Mart, but then there's also Kim & Bob Shop.

Had high hopes for it cause I really love Korean food, but it was so bland Had the BibimBap with bulgogi Got a side of the spicy pork The bulgogi was very bland, but still ok and edible, but that's about it The spicy pork I couldn't even finish and was way too salty

I'm very pleased to see a new takeout option in Hell's Kitchen, especially one offering Korean cuisine. It's often difficult to find restaurants in the area that serve dishes like kimbap or bibimbap. While the menu isn't extensive, I really appreciate the ability to customize your own kimbap or bibimbap. The food was flavorful and served in generous portions. I especially liked the abundance of fresh vegetables, which suits my current preference for more plant-based meals, though the meat portion was also quite satisfying. The overall quality and taste were excellent. Additionally, the cashier was incredibly kind and patient, answering all of my questions and offering a recommendation that matched my taste perfectly. The location is also very convenient to my workplace, which makes it an even better find.

I'm glad I had a coupon for this -- I mean, it was *fine*, but really nothing remarkable at all. Indeed, my bibimbap was not warm at all. Everything tasted alright (I had the tofu, husband had the spicy pork bibimbap). He also ordered the mandu, which were quite big. I think this would work better for a lunch than, in our case, for a dinner. Easy and quick, I guess.

Great contribution to our neighborhood! Very friendly owner Very clean and quick! Reasonably prices and combos I ordered the Cheez bulgogi kimbap minus the cheese (so I can share with my lactose intolerant BF) and made it a combo For an extra $4 you can make any bowl or kimbap a combo which allows you to select a drink of your choice, and either soup, seaweed or a yak gwa donut (chocolate or coconut) Hours are 11:30 am-9:30 pm

Stopped in for dinner and got a beef bulgogi bowl over greens. Very healthy and fresh, tasted great. Service was very good, and helped with ordering.

I'm beyond thrilled to have finally found a spot in Hell's Kitchen serving authentic Kimbap and Tteokbokki! From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us warmly, offering not just great service but thoughtful explanations of the menu. We tried: * OH JEYUK Kimbap * TUNA AVOCADO Kimbap * KIM'S CHICKEN Kimbap * O.G TTEOKBOKKI The Kimbap had the perfect balance of fresh vegetables, savory proteins, and flavorful sauces, wrapped together in complete harmony. The extra dipping sauce? A total game-changer The Tteokbokki was spot on--the rice cakes were perfectly chewy, and the sauce hit that magical balance of spicy, sweet, and addictive I'll definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu. This place is a gem for Korean street food cravings in the heart of Manhattan!

Good, quick and easy takeout spot. Customizable kimbap and bibimbap options that tasted great. Casual interior. Owner was friendly and prepares the food in front of you.
