About K. Bob Korean Food

K. Bob Korean Food is a halal Korean takeaway inside the indoor market on The Mall in Luton. The menu covers rabokki, teokboki, and gimbap, alongside dumplings, spicy Korean fried chicken, ramen, black bean noodles, kimchi fried rice, and chicken katsu curry. One person runs the front counter while a few staff work the kitchen behind it, and food goes out in paper-based containers rather than plastic. The space holds about five tables for anyone eating in. Orders are walk-in, with no reservations taken. It opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Card payment requires a minimum spend, so cash covers smaller orders more easily. A wall near the counter is covered in customer reviews collected over time.

Customer Review Summary

Rabokki with extra cheese draws repeated praise, its noodles and sweet-spicy sauce singled out alongside the Korean fried chicken and dumplings, both described as crisp and full of flavour. Close behind, reviewers favour the ramen, calling it packed with flavour, and the black bean noodles, while several mention missing the kimbap and kimchi fried rice that used to be on offer. Portions are repeatedly called generous, prices reasonable, and food is said to arrive hot, sometimes within fifteen minutes. Many note it's fully halal and family run, prepared by a Korean cook, and describe the small courtyard space as clean despite only a handful of tables. Staff and the owner are consistently called kind, with one reviewer noting the owner still served them an hour before closing. One diner mentions discovering a minimum spend applies to card payments. Several wish delivery were available, and multiple reviewers describe travelling long distances just to eat there again.

    “Little bit hidden out the way in the market, but a hidden gem. Fantastic food and recommendation just trying anything as always tastes so good”

    “I usually come here with my friends and we all absolutely adore the food! The man at the till is so kind and attentive and customer service is always good! Food is always served hot, and doesn’t take that long to arrive either! My personal favourites have to be the Korean fried chicken (which I am craving right now its 12am and I can’t order 💔💔) the fried dumplings, which are both always so crisp and absolutely delicious, and the Black bean noodles! Another thing I appreciate about this place is that it’s fully halal. I have no complaints from this place at all I would definitely recommend anybody to come here! The only thing I wish Kbob did was deliveries 🥲 I understand it might be hard due to the fact there are very few people in the store but I hope that one day there will be a delivery option available because the food is worth remembering!!!”

    “Very authentic korean cuisine cooked by a korean lady, family run business. I had chicken katsu curry with rice amd it was mind blowing. I had teokboki packed as well too enjoy at home In the evening. A rare find as it's not easy to find halal korean resturants.”

    “Based on the reviews, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a seat so I initially ordered for takeaway but then tables freed up so I was able to eat in! I got rabokki with extra cheese, dumplings (I can't remember if it was chicken or beef), and small size spicy kfc. It was soo good. The noodles in the rabokki were super good, and the sauce was sweet and spicy so I had to eat the dumplings and chicken for a bit to let it cool down but honestly, I went back to it after a few bites and braced the heat because it was that good. This restaurant was on my 'want to go' list for ages but it was over 2 hours away, but honestly? I'm super happy I made the time and the trip to go here! If I'm ever in the area, or I wake up super early to make the trip, I would definitely come back again. Bonus points as the staff were super nice and accommodating! Didn't know that there's a minimum spend to pay with card but the food was worth it to order more. Probably would have ordered more to take home but I didn't have enough time 🥺. Have permanently added this restaurant to my favourites! (Also I wish I came earlier when they still had the kimbap, there's nothing like it in my area 🥲)”
