Seoul Gimbap

My wife picked up lunch from here for me, and I didn’t even get a chance to eat it right away it sat out for several hours. Even then, it was absolutely fantastic. The steak was perfectly savory with a slight sweetness, and the pork had a gentle heat that wasn’t overpowering at all just beautifully layered flavor. Everything came together so well that I honestly wish I had known how good this place was beforehand so I could’ve ordered more of each. These Gimbap were so good I’ll be thinking about them all weekend. Definitely coming back.

ONIGIRI in ALBUQUERQUE!? Bring it! Spicy Korean BBQ IS INCREDIBLE. Perfect Everything. Spicy Bbq Flavor, Rice, Nori. Friggin SLAPS. I was thinking I would like the beef bulgogi more because that’s usually my jam but the deliciousness of the spicy Korean BBQ was just unforgettable. You really can’t go wrong here. I generally won’t drive this deep into the east for food but this is everything I miss about home and the food I grew up with. Thank you for being here Seoul gimbap you are all so lovely and talented and I hope your business is successful!

All the Onigiri are really good. My favorites from the 4 that I ordered were Korean BBQ and the Beef Bulgogi. Unwrapping them is easy once you’ve gone through it the first time. My first time I didn’t realize that when pulling the skinny plastic wrapper that goes all the way around onigiri. Then follow the steps. Haha. I’d recommend coming through and giving Seoul Gimbap a try. I plan on coming back to try some of their other dishes.

Authentic onigiri that packs big flavor!!! I ordered the spicy Korean bbq and the spicy tuna mayo. SO GOOD! I'll be coming back to try more for sure! It's so cool how they're busy making the onigiri right there, too. I couldn't recommend this place more!!

A small business that packs big flavor. Authentic onigiri can be found in this Oriental Market in the NE Heights. The unique combinations of flavors can sell out quickly, for a reason, and are only around for a few hours during the day. I had the bulgogi and the tempura shrimp and the beef was flavorful and tender, and the tempura was crispy and warm.

We got an order in early today and got 3 of every flavor. Absolutely amazing! The food is too good! Everyone that works in the store and at the counter is super kind helpful. Just the kind of business we like to support. Keep it up guys, we'll be back soon! -The GM Crew

Seoul Gimbap has become a household name within our home as one of our absolute favorite easy, delicious go-to locales. Here, you'll find the tastiest onigiri ABQ has to offer as well as the friendliest service too! Now they have opened a location in the wonderful Kim's Oriental Market, so our onigiri cravings have gotten all the easier to soothe. The flavor and quality is always excellent, ever since their pop up market days at UNM. 100/10, go try 'em out and you won't regret it.

My new favorite place! The onigiri is delicious and freshly made. The owner is super sweet and wonderful. Supplies run out fast, but the food is well worth the wait. ❤️ For the owner: Thank you for testing out your new menu item with me in addition to my order. It was FANTASTIC! The combination of the fatty pork was perfect with the sauce. My only suggestions may be to add some toppings to make it a more varied ricebowl--such as a fried egg, spring onions, or sesame seeds on top. But even without those suggestions, I considered it a flawless execution of flavors. I'm very much looking forward to the next time I visit. ❤️

Delicious!! Definitely recommend! We brought a couple hiking with us and it was so nice to eat at the top of the mountain!

One "cold" December day my partner was making some Ramen and we decided to add a nice little side to the dish and so I drove up (it's pretty close in my area) to get some. I knew I was in for a treat as I pulled up and the parking lot was full and people were walking out with bag (prolly full of yum). Ordered at the counter and it took a bit for them to be made, so I would suggest if you know you're going to get them go ahead and order online and go get them. I wandered around the store a bit waiting so it was not too bad. We got the Spicy Korean BBQ Pork Gimbap, Bulgogi Beef Steak Gimbap. and the Buldak May Chicken Gimbap. All tasted great and we would go back if we needed a nice little treat to split again.

Who says that ABQ doesn't have delicious Korean food? NOT ME! This cute little local business is making tasty handheld onigiri in a variety of flavors, and they deserve our support! Spicy tuna was my fave, but they were all delicious! Seoul Gimbap is situated inside of Kim's Oriental Market, so you can pick up a few of those specialty items at the same time! Flavors were so good, and I can't wait to see this business flourish!

Learned from the owner that Gimbap is the Korean name for triangular shaped rice balls that I call omusubi. Seoul Gimbap is located in Kim's Oriental Market. The Gimbap is packaged in the special wrapper to keep the nori (seaweed sheet) crisp. The friendly owner will teach you how to wrap the Gimbap in the nori if you are unfamiliar with the process.On the day I went to Kim's I had called to see if they were selling kimbap (long shaped rice rolls). I was told yes, but was disappointed that only Gimbap is being sold. Decided to try the Gimbap and they were tasty. Nice to see new Asian food options available in Albuquerque. The owner was training his staff on how to prepare. Friendly and pleasant staff working the counter! You can also find the Seoul Gimbap stand was also at Railyards on Sundays. Call ahead to reserve as while we were perusing the options, someone called and bought out whatever was left. Solid Gimbap. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. Hopefully more filling options will be available in the future! Oops, so excited to grab a couple of Gimbap before they were sold out that I forgot to snap pics of the Gimbap!

This place is a winner. Food is delicious. Hubby loved it too. Staff are sweet and helpful. This is a good food pick up style place. Just go in the market--the counter is in the back. There was plenty of parking. We will be back.

Great triangle gimbap at reasonable prices. Just head in to the grocery and find the counter in the back.

I got the chicken, pork and a beef and they are all amazing. Tasty. Exactly what I could expect! Lots of rice! Good flavor! The girls will find you inside the market to give you your order while you shop. That was really nice. The food and experience overall I would come back for sure!

Easy in and out but if you want something that is not available they will prepare and call if u have the time. Me with a 30 min lunch picked up the Shrimp Temura Onigiri and Bulgogi Beef Steak Onigiri both of which were great. Make sure u follow the directions otherwise they will happily show you how to eat. I would have liked some type of hotsauce but didn't ask. Will definitely go back to try to get the Spicy Korean BBQ Pork Onigiri. But the odds are not in my favor...

Onigiri we're really delicious! They add up at $6+ a pop, but I like supporting local entrepreneurs. Pick up some Korean grocery items at Kim's Market while you're there. Frozen mandu (dumplings) are a great quick meal.

First of all THE NICEST PEOPLE I've met in Albuquerque! Second this local small business makes such high quality foods!! The rice is absolutely perfect and the filings are generous and tasty! I get the Tofu Blaze every time and it just gets better and better!! They sell out fast and the market they reside in is an absolute gem! Everything is impeccably clean and well stocked!! No old dusty foods there...great prices and there is a $10 minimum to use a card to pay. Overall my family and I are ecstatic to find this perfect lunch spot! We have been coming back every week since we found them...even took a batch to TN on the flight! Amazing!

No pics because we ate them at the speed of light! The shrimp tempura and bulgogi onigiri are my favorite. Everything I've tried here is perfection. They really care and it shows. I wish they would put a few napkins in the bag, because I always end up eating them in the car. 10/10 try everything on the menu and grab a couple items from the store before you head out!

Amazing food! I can't recommend this place enough, truly the best food we had in ABQ and Santa Fe during our entire 4 day trip.

Got the spicy tuna mayo and shrimp tempura onigiri both extremely delicious, well stuffed. My mom got the beef and chicken buldak she loved both.

Great food. I love the spicy bulgogi and regular bbq. The shopping area has stuff talin doesn't even have. The people are so nice.

Fresh, warm, delicious, reminds me of the ones I got in South Korea when I visited years ago. Will definitely get it again!!

This place is amazing! Highly recommend. They are so good fresh but also are very tasty cold or slightly warmed. I'm happy to know about the market now as well, they have lots of goodies!

Incredible flavor! Awesome staff! A true hidden gem, inside Kim's Oriental Market. saw it on TikTok had to try

The food is excellent. My current favorite is the spicy fried chicken. The tuna exceeded my expectations too (it's very creamy and slightly sweet but still savory). The people are very friendly and hardworking. I order 2 if I'm feeling snack-ish, 3 if I'm hungry. Trust me, you definitely will always want more than one because it's so good

Kind service, amazing food! Great price for the amount of food you get! Just over all a place you should support!
