Ajumma Kimbob Deli

Best kimbap in DFW! Hands down. No comparison. Eat kimbap from here! I’ve tried kimbap all over the metroplex, but my Korean sons told me to just stay here as it’s the best and the only place they want to get kimbap. It has never disappointed me at all. Freshly made kimbap with burdock root made daily and served with pickled radish. I always order extra radish and they give a good amount for my extra. Their kimchi is good too but sometimes can be too spicy for words, or too sour — more for grandparents style. Depends on the day. But the main thing they’re known for is their kimbap, so go there for the kimbap.

I visited my bf in Texas a month ago and we went on a road trip up to Dallas. After spending a few days in Dallas, we had to make our way back to Austin but before that we stopped by this place for their soondae since he can’t really get any down in Austin. He’s been to this place before and his family loves it but it was my first time since I’m from LA.
Let me just get to the point. This place has some pretty authentic soondae. It’s on par with what you can find in Ktown LA. The ladies that work here are super nice and really take care of you. My bfs parents wanted him to bring some down and when we told them we were taking it down to Austin, they made sure to package it nicely for our trip. I also ordered a small serving for us to eat on the drive as well as a single roll of kimbab. They actually gave us a bit extra soondae and I’m so grateful for that because it was so delicious and we pretty much inhaled all of it hahah
One thing that makes this place so much better is that they don’t just include the soondae (blood sausage) but they also include the other parts (not sure what they’re called). The soondae wasn’t too chewy and was nicely made.
Highly recommend this place for all the Koreans in Texas craving authentic soondae and even for non Koreans wanting to try some authentic Korean food :)

The food here is supposed to be Korean street food. There are about 10 items on the menu, and you ain’t reading any of them if you aren’t familiar with Asian street food, or read Korean :-)
We googled the names in the menu, as the man at the cash register only «seemed» to be able to tell us about the pork cutlets. We each found a dish to try.
My hubby played it safe with the ramen. It was pretty good, but no better than the ramen you buy at the grocery store and «doctor up.» I got tteokboki. It was a red broth with lots of thick rice noodles, thinly sliced fish cake, and not nearly enough veggies or spices, just plenty of over powering red pepper. This dish was salvageable. I took ½ of it home and «fixed» it with some seasonings from my spice rack, and added some veggies.
For $ 14 for 2 dishes, it wasn’t bad, but not good enough to get us to return.

This is my favorite place for kimbap. It’s not pretty far from where I work so I stop by during lunch to grab a couple of rolls of kimbap for $ 5. If you eat there, they give you soup to go with your food. It’s a good palate cleanser. I’ve also had their katsu which is pretty good! I think it’s pricey for what you get but I’d order it again. It’s very crispy and the sauce is sweet and salty. The only problem I have is how much rice they provide for the katsu — they need to give bigger scoops of rice! You can always ask for more rice without charge though.

This place has great Korean ‘fast food’. The quality and price are great! I just wished I lived closer to go here more often. The ingredients are fresh and made right there!

My favorite korean snack place!
I had the soondae and the spicy noodles.
(gonna call it spicy noodles, because I can’t spell it in korean)
The soondae is always fresh and amazing.
Its a great place to get kimbap! always fresh!
Always and forever a customer (:

I came here on a whim as pre-​dinner because I’d heard from a friend that this place had really delicious and cheap kimbob. It’s a small place right next to Komart.
Right when we walked in, we saw some saran wrapped plates of kimbob on display. You can buy one roll (which has about 10 pieces) for $ 3, two for $ 5, and three for $ 7. An employee told me that everything was freshly made, and that each kimbap had pickled veggies, fish cake, and egg inside. I bought one to-​go, and it was really delicious and authentic!
I’ll definitely be back for the kimbob and to try other stuff on the menu.

Fast and affordable!
Spicy soon dae bok um [blood sausage stir fry] –I used to LOVE getting this here, but lately it’s been very inconsistent. Sometimes it’s a bit spicy, sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes they have perilla leaves and other times they don’t
Donkatsu– Thin and crispy! Super huge portion. Served with rice, thinly shredded cabbage with a light sauce, and pickled jalapenos — no complaints!
Jjol Myeon– I don’t like cold noodles but I just wanted it cause it looks so pretty, it was refreshing with all of the veggies! Not too sweet like other places. FYI– Noodles are SUPER chewy, but that’s how the noodles are supposed to be. I added a bit of capsaicin sauce to mine
Oden– Really simple, but for 2 bucks it’ll kick your craving!

Sign says closes at 8pm. Togo orders between 7:30 — 8:00 only. Place was already closed at 7:50…

I decided to check out some of the places in this strip mall and came across the restaurant with a coworker of mine. We didn’t feel like trying the kimbob so we both ended up getting the tonkatsu. The tonkatsu came out in a humongous serving and was very nicely presented and pre-​sliced. It was very tender and the batter wasn’t overwhelming in terms of being too thick or too crunchy. It was a good and very filling meal though it did not feel exceptional to me.
Don’t feel intimidated by the menu if you have no idea what anything is. The lady at the counter was very helpful in describing everything and giving recommendations. Though this place is basically self-​serve /​cafeteria style, the service /​interaction is still top notch.
Hopefully I’ll be back to try other things on the menu, but if you have a craving for tonkatsu, I’d recommend coming here and giving it a try. If I could give half stars, this place would be a 3.5, but I’ll round it up as the service /​interaction here is better than your typical small Korean restaurant.

When I was a kid, my (Korean) grandma would make mass quantities of kimbap for holidays. I was a dumb kid, so I refused to eat any, because I thought it was weird.
Now that I’m older and less dumb, it’s one of my favorite foods ever. I’m disappointed with the kimbap I got from Ajumma for a quick snack, though. The seaweed was a bit soggy, and the radish was so saccharine that it was overpowering.
I’m hoping it was just a bad day, because I want to try it again.

Came here recently after reading Unilocal reviews.
This is a pretty casual place. Basic setup, nothing fancy but it works.
They have a limited menu. I ordered Kimbap to take home and I can say that their kim bap is authentic and very good. My wife is Korean and my sons and I love kim bap. It’s healthy, filling and delicious.
Anyways, I did sit down and order a chicken katsu dish. I highly recommend it. The katsu is cooked perfectly and is a pretty generous size. It also comes with steamed rice, and some side dishes. It really hits the spot and is good. Having moved from Toronto, so far, I’m very happy about the quality and authenticity of Korean food in Dallas!

i haven’t been here in 2 years but did the menu get smaller? i swear they had bulgogi and other similar items. now they only have dongkatsu as pretty much their only meat dish. it’s truly a boonsik now.

Kimbap is a Korean dish similar to Japanese sushi but does not use rice vinegar but rather sesame oil. You can find it at most Korean grocery stores and is relatively inexpensive as compared to the more formal sushi. Ajumma seems to specialize in selling kimbap but they also serve other Korean dishes in a casual, informal setting. The restaurant is more like a deli but they do have plenty of seating. Upon entering you’ll see kimbap pre-​wrapped for sale and a simple menu to order from. We noticed most people coming in for take-​out and almost always grabbing an order of kimbap to go. We tried the tofu soup and tonkatsu for meals. The tonkatsu dish was huge (you can see pics other Unilocalers published) and the tofu soup was hot and fresh. The prices were inexpensive for the huge amount of food you get. Oh yeah, the kimbap was pretty amaze too.

If you’re looking for atmosphere and service then you’re looking in the wrong place, bro! Don’t get me wrong, this is what I like about this place. It’s cafeteria style and it’s just about food. No gimmicks. No tricks.
It’s a kimbap deli, ergo you must get the kimbap. What is kimbap? Like a sushi roll without fish. Usually spinach, crab meat, cucumber, and a few other things.
I got the large order which is about 20 pieces for $ 7.50 (I didn’t get the exact count because my husband scarfed down a bunch of pieces before I even sat down. Psht)
He ordered the tonkatsu (pork cutlet) for $ 8 and it was so large the the dish was larger than the size of his face. (He has a large face.) He wouldn’t share with me but he said it was amazing.
I got the tofu soup bc I always get tofu soup and loved it. Not bad for a kimbap deli.
This place thrives on togo orders but there are enough tables to accommodate about 40 people.
There isn’t a large English sign to identify the place, just look for the restaurant next to komart with a picture of a woman and you’ll find it. Seriously.
There’s a parking lot but drive carefully. Asians (myself included) are bad drivers. Park with caution.

If the term «blood sausage» gives you a weird feeling in your stomach and you feel your pulse quicken and palms start to sweat your are feeling a normal reaction. If you’re a little skerred don’t worry-​I was too. In fact, I once let a large serving of gifted soon-​dae sit in my refrigerator before throwing it away without even LOOKING at it. My gf was all «you should try the blood sausage!», or «have you tried the blood sausage yet?» and I made up excuse after excuse. A quick tip to my gf: just ask me if I have tried the SAUSAGE! Do not use the word BLOOD anywhere in relation to food you want me to eat!
Learn from my mistakes. This stuff is GOOD! There is no way I would have had a clue that blood is in any way involved in the making of it. Delicious sausage with glass noodles mixed inside it and a tasty dry spice mixture for dipping it into.
Have been wanting to try the kimbap but haven’t had a chance.
Blood sausage, I ain’t afraid of you any more!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF DALLAS K-​TOWN!!!
I saw this place from Amy Z’s check ins. Shout out!!! I only know about kimbap from watching Korean dramas. Never actually got to taste it! When I saw kimbap from this place. I knew I had to go try it!!! this place has got to be one of the best finds for me. The lady was so nice and sweet. I ordered dukbokki (spicy rice cakes) it was good! not too spicy for me. It was just right and also, the kim bap was so goood!!! it was only $ 2 for like a whole roll! kim bap is korean version of sushi for those who don’t know. Instead of fresh fish, there’s eggs inside. It’s good. You just eat it with your hand. I got a whole roll for $ 2!!! I could eat kimbap every day!!! this place is best for college student budgets. I mean $ 2 can fill you up. That covers one meal. I call that living on a budget!!! :)

i had my eye on this place for about a year or so but never went inside. finally tried it and yum!
they literally only sell kimbab, soon-​dae, and dduk boki.
if you’re in this area and want a quick bite definitely get the kimbab here. soo good. i really am into their choong moo kim bab which is not the traditional one, but the one that is plain with a side dish of marinated spicy squid dish thingy. haha.
definitely a keeper in my book.

Well well, how about this place… I had been to the Komart a many times in the past, but never went to this place until this past weekend. Overall, it’s really solid! I especially like that their menu isn’t ridiculously extensive; they have maybe 10 or so items on their menu and they do them well.
We ordered soondae guk (korean blood sausage soup), ddeokbokki, tonkatsu, jjol myeon, and kimbap and shared them all with each other. They were all good. I really liked that jjol myeon; taste-​wise it sort of reminds me of somen salad (i’m japanese) because of the veggies with the noodles and the sesame/​gingery taste of the dressing, but much spicier because of the kochoojang. Ddeokbokki isn’t really my thing in general, but my korean friends say Ajumma’s is pretty good. Soondae guk is good, too! don’t be put off by it being «blood sausage,» because most non-​Koreans (such as myself) wouldn’t even know that it’s blood sausage if someone didn’t tell us.
Portions are good and prices are fair, too.
Only thing is that it’s pretty busy and it’s not very big, so seating is scarce if you want to eat in – went there for lunch on Saturday and we had to wait awhile before some seats opened up.

The reason why there are not that many reviews for this place is because of the fact that the food is too good to share with others so people want to keep it a secret AND most of the people who dine here do not get online to post reviews AND most of the customers (99.9%) are Asians. And you know us Asians. hehe
The cold spicy vegetable noodles (vegetarian friendly) is absolutely delish and fried pork cutlet is divine. They have kimbap (kind of like california rolls but Korean version) and they also have pork clear noodle sausages.
The minus ONE star is the size of the place because it is not big enough to fit all their customers and the temperature of the restaurant is not always the «coolest» place to eat.
