Myung-Ga Kim Bap

LOVE this place soooo much! They have wonderful kimbap and the tastiest ramen noodles with three dumplings. This is the perfect combo if two people want to eat just a little. These two dishes are good to share and must-try! I can eat their kimbap EVERYDAY

Still my fave go to place for kimbap. Staff is quick orders, too. I love this place and it's so convenient. So worth.

Go away, already to busy. Bulgogi kimbap is worth the price point, sad they're closed on Tuesdays.

Very large portions! You can share probably mostly meals between 2-3 people. I would also call these jumbo kimbap and are expertly rolled without a ton of excessive rice. Ingredients in the kimbap are all familiar and for us we don't miss the perilla that is common in a lot of kimbap. The anchovy stock is really pleasant. If you get the dolsot maybe save some broth to mixed with the scorched rice bottom. The whole fried chicken was a nice treat to bring home. They leave vent holes to make sure the chicken doesn't steam too much. I know we should've ordered tteokguk for the new year but cravings you know.... I know this sounds strange to say, but they REALLY cook here. The full kitchen in the back means things are cooked fresh. At other spots I'm not sure how much is just heated from frozen H-Mart. After trying many of the kimbap spots in NoVA this is my favorite spicy tuna. I will come back to try more. Everything was super friendly. You don't need to speak Korean. Next time we'll probably order more noodle dishes.

These are the largest most filling kimbap (gimbap) I have ever seen. I thought the ones I usually get at H-mart were quite plump already but these definitely beat those. There is weight to the roll and no, it is not mostly rice. There is actually more filling than rice; I got the beef roll and it was filled with radish, crab stick, carrots, spinach and ample amount of beef. The seaweed glistened with I believe sesame oil, it wasn't soggy and held together well. The rice was not mushy, you could still tell each grain from each other and it had flavor that wasn't bland. All the ingredients complimented each other well and nothing over - powered each other. I also got Dduk-bokki with it as I always like to dip my kimbap in the sauce. The rice cakes were perfectly cooked, nice amount of chew without being mushy. It had fish cakes, veggies and an egg. The sauce was balanced between sweetness and spice, it also was the perfect thickness that it stuck to the rice cakes. Sometimes sauces can be very watery and this was not that. The service was very quick and they also offered complimentary anchovy soup with the meal. They will ask whether you want the soup and if you get two rolls, they will ask whether you want them in the same container or separate. My boyfriend went recently and said that they were quite busy so there was a bit of a wait for our take out order, however, they made up for it by giving two free cans of soda. The ambiance inside is similar to cafeteria style where you get a booth and can hang out with friends. I would come back with friends and order a variety of things to snack on while catching up on tea. It can be easily missed if not paying attention as the outside sign says Korean deli, but the delicious smells will redirect you to find it.
