Roll

Just ate a Bulgogi Bento (beef Bento). I can honestly say it was delicious, and at a reasonable price of $ 12.50+ tax. They give you complimentary green tea and Miso. I really liked the beef and dumplings. The salad and veggies were also good. I don’t know much about Korean food, but this little place is recommended. I’ll give it 4-​stars since I haven’t really compared to other places, but it was a great dish.
C.L.

This place is called roll dot com (cute name). If you like kimbap then you should roll yourself here (pun intended: p). I had takeout tonight, ordered their tuna kimbap because I love tuna and kimbap just tastes better with tuna! Their tuna kimbap is huge and costs 5.49, not bad at all! This will definitely fill you up. Service was quick and I’ll come back if I’m ever in the area — which is always lol.

Surprisingly good food! Very authentic! Korean sushi is different from Japanese sushi (what we usually get at a sushi restaurant), and this place has some really good Korean sushi!

Very professional and polite to the customers. Nice tuna&cheese kimbob! Love their foods and those reminds me authentic Korean food back home:)

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Damn I should have tried the Kimbap. Didn’t appreciate that they didn’t have lots of non-​spicy dishes so ended up ordering some noodle with fish cakes. I was first eyeing the kimbap but decided not to since the ingredients didn’t really stand out to me (Tuna or cheese or beef?). I guess I’m not really used to these ingredients in a roll. There were only a few side dishes and they weren’t my favourite so I didn’t really have any. My elite friends ordered a Korean instant noodle and Kimchi fried rice. The Fried rice was actually not bad. My noodles portion were really big but seemed to be lacking some flavour. I didn’t end up finishing it because just seems a bit boring the dish. Seems like a noodle dish you just whip up at home.
I kind of get a feeling this place provides «Home-cooked”-like Korean dishes and seems to be a favourite amongst students and younger people. The prices were very reasonable. The décor left more to be desired and there were flies and bugs everywhere. That’s probably because they left the door open for better ventilation. The waitress wasn’t that fluent in English, we had troubles communicating. Overall, the food was okay, nothing really stood out to me. It’s another one of those Korean places for people with a more spicy palate. Needless to say I will most likely not be coming back.

I had to double check the photos and address to make sure I wasn’t reviewing the wrong restaurant. Not sure why the reviews are so high. Between a 2 – 3 star for me. Anyway, I loved that the prices are very affordable, but that does not mean you will leave feeling full.
Went here with two elites and we were able to get a table right away on a Monday evening. However, we only received two appetizers. Perhaps they ran out of apps that evening? I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice. It was very tasty but the portion wasn’t that big and I was actually able to finish it all.
Quite a bit of mosquitos lingering our table. Please don’t bite me…
I would not recommend eating the ramen here as it seems they might be using the noodles from the spicy Korean instant noodles. I saw a bunch of the packages stacked inside the kitchen. You can get this at any Asian supermarket for a $ 1 ish.
Waitress was friendly and helpful.

Searched all over Yonge and finch for Kim bap, stumbled on this gem on the way back to the car.
They have about 6 types of rolls, I ordered 2 of the vegetable one which was $ 3.49 for a roll.
Delicious, crunchy and what was I craving for!
The resto was a little tiny and humid, simple and diner like but quick service and very friendly!
4 stars because the restaurant lay out was not cozy to my liking but did take out so did not sit and eat.
Will come back.

Small place, almost a hole in the wall. A variety of typical korean dishes. Small tables. Definitely not a place for a big party. Korean run.
Had:
Ramyeon with dumplings ($ 5.99) — nothing special. 3 dumplings, fairly standard, tastes similar to frozen Korean dumplings. Raymeon was standard. Had bits of egg in it (not a whole egg insofar as I couldn’t find a proper sized yolk anywhere). More like egg pieces. Also topped with a couple bits of shaved carrot. Served with kimchi and pickled radish. First time my pickled radish tasted like carrots. Hm…
Friend had the shrimp kimbap ($ 5.99) — 9 pieces. Shrimp was tempura shrimp. Had egg omelette and avocado as well as shrimp, among other things. Avocado looked super fresh. My friend said it was lukewarm (as in not cold). She enjoyed it.
Clean atmosphere. Good service. Pay at the counter. Tip jar.

One of the best gimbap in town!
The rice is still a bit warm (which I was told what an authetic kimbap should be) and the stuffing are fresh and tasty. I have tried the kimchi kimbap and tuna kimbap. both of them are very nice.
reasonable price too!

Kimbap!
Never have I ever eaten more Kimbap ever since I’ve moved to around this area. In a place filled with Korean restaurants on every turn, this little place here probably had the best kimbap I’ve had. The place itself is actually called Roll dot com (odd), but who gives a **** about the name! Tiny tiny place with small Korean ladies smiling at you while you’re glancing over the menu.
Though I didn’t try any of the Korean dishes available (though they looked good), I definitely had to get the tuna kimbap. I’m not quite sure what it is about Tuna Kimbap that really makes me excited. It’s definitely not the most authentic thing out there as it’s really just tuna salad packed in with all the kimbap ingredients to make the whitest concoction you could order… but I love it! The tuna kimbap here was cheap and the portion size was huge.
I wish I could comment about the other things, but I’m not sure I’ll realistically come here and get anything other than tuna kimbap. What was once a rarity from where I’m from (the American South) is so easily accessible that it warrants repeat trips on my end.

I love the egg rolls here! The staff may not speak much English, but thank goodness they have an English menu! It’s a little pricey for Korean food, considering we’re in uptown Korean Town.
My take out order was ready in a jiffy, and it seems most of the customers order for take out since the restaurant itself was empty. The servers are very nice and helpful when I had questions about a dish. We probably looked like fools waving our hands around attempting sign language.
The sushi rolls are pretty standard, I suggest Sushi Bong just a few stores down the Northtown Way circle.
I will be back!

Reminds me of the Kimbap restaurants back in Korea.
Very kind and nice server.
The food is alright, the combos are a nice touch.
A good place to grab a quick bite.

My next Friday night adventure at Roll dot com (aka kimbap dot com) is the tteokbokki (aka ddeokbokki aka ddukboggi aka ddukpoggi aka the Green Lantern but you don’t hasta call me topokki[1][2]). However you spell it, you can order by saying «duck po key».
The ajumma taking my order giggled at my order. A whitey ordering tteokbokki in a Korean restaurant is – to quote the colorful language of Roddy Doyle in «The Van» — like hearing a five-​year old saying «fuck». It’s unexpected.
The ajumma packed it up in a tight styro container that survived a trip my backpack. I handed over $ 3 and change.
«Spicy» she warned me. I try to slip into survival Korean mode at things like this to let the server know I have a grasp of basic Korean cuisine (a curious feature of the Korean language is it’s actually impossible to learn Korean without learning about Korean food) and I’m not going to be back at night with kerosene soaked rags and burn their place down thinking some joker there spiked my noodles with Tabasco sauce.
«Neh, neh. May-​oon.» (Yes, yes, spicy.)
«Do you speak Korean?»
«Jak-​un» (a little)
«Good!» (big nosed devil is not going to be back with kerosene soaked rags and burn my business down)
«Kam sa ham ni da» (do you know how much kerosene costs these days? So not worth it.)
So what did we get for our $ 3 and space invader money? Well, not the best tteokbokki. But passable. Surely. There are no doubt regional variations and even variations by street in Korea. Maybe this was a variation I was unfamiliar with. I always like the kind with a boiled egg sliced or halved. No egg in this one. You get the basic tube rice cakes, the hot sauce (which is spicy and at the edge of my ability to tolerate spice), and the odeng fish (familiar to some as that little textured fish cake stuff you get as an appetizer at a Korean restaurant). Found at the bottom were some shredded carrots and cabbage. I don’t recall cabbage in any tteokbokki I had in Seoul. But it wasn’t bad and actually enjoyable.
The stuff is also physically hot. Takes a good long while for it to cool down. You can also barbarian it up a bit by scooping it onto some rye bread.
