One of the few places in Los Angeles where you can get a good meal for less than $10. Their rice balls are delicious and hot - made to order. I love the pork and the eel. I love the way they package them to go, seaweed on the side so as not to get soggy. Their rolls are good too. A great quick spot to pickup lunch or a snack.

Tasty affordable rice balls with generous amounts of various Japanese and Korean fillings! This place is so good it's literally always my first stop when I drive in from Sacramento. My favorites are spicy shrimp, beef bulgogi, unagi (eel), spicy pork and kim chee. I love that the rice balls are individually wrapped and labeled and the nori (seaweed) to wrap them in is packaged separately. I love that it's Korean nori too. Great for takeout, travels well, fast friendly service. To go orders only. If you can't find parking out front there is a parking structure just around the corner that gives you free parking for the first 90 minutes.

Wow, the rice balls are incredibly delicious! The beef one was by far my favorite one. Rich in flavor. Spicy shrimp was second best and I’d probably substitute the crab meat for a different flavor next time. 10/10 Cheap and well packaged. Loved the salted seaweed.

I love this place! Consistent, truly delicious, and inexpensive. Definitely my favorite place to get lunch or an in-between meal in Glendale. My go-tos are the beef, spicy pork and crab flavors, the salmon is super tasty as well.

These rice balls are stuffed with so much delicious filling! The rice was cooked to perfection and the fillings were so flavorful! I've had the chicken curry and the teriyaki, and my daughter has tried four of the other flavors and we have never been disappointed!

I’ve been going to Gam Tu Bop for like 6 years now and I really like them! Their food is affordable and they have a pretty good selection. Everything from beef to mushroom rice balls and I really like their shrimp rice rolls. Just be sure to double check your order to make sure you have enough seaweed wraps. Everyone I’ve taken here really likes it and I usually comes here every time I go to Glendale Galleria
