Oni Kimbap was a home-based business for quite some time before opening their brick-and-mortar stores. Personally, I have been following them on their Instagram page but never got the chance to make a pre-order or visit their first outlet at Aperia Mall. Now that they have opened a second outlet at Taste Orchard, I can drop by anytime I’m in town!
I was most excited about their famous Bulgogi Riceless Kimbap ($12.90). This roll replaces the rice in gimbap with thin layers of omelette. It’s also packed with juicy, peppery bulgogi pork, followed by shredded carrot, sliced cucumber, and danmuji AKA yellow pickled radish.
If you prefer carbs, their Kani Rice Kimbap ($9.90) is a must-try. It’s said to be a lunch favourite among the office ladies who work nearby, so we got one to see what the hype was about. The office ladies were right—we loved the textural contrast between the soft crab salad and the crunchy vegetables.
They also serve Jjolmyeon (from $5.90): chilled noodles piled with tons of vegetables, four plump pieces of prawn, and a spicy sauce on the side that you can mix however much according to your spice tolerance level! If you’re looking for a light lunch, this one is for you.
The store is a collaboration with O.BBa Jjajang Express, which means you can pair your gimbap with their iconic jjajangmyeon and a variety of Korean street food here. This includes the Chicken Jjajangmyeon ($11), which comes with a super crispy and juicy piece of fried chicken leg. You can get the OBBA Corn Dog ($4) too, which makes for a great snack to have on the go.
