A Sensational Variety of Signature Gimbap

As the name brilliantly suggests, the undisputed star of the menu at Rolling Rice is their incredible selection of Gimbap (Korean seaweed rice rolls). While most Korean eateries offer one or two generic versions as an afterthought, this restaurant elevates the humble roll to an absolute art form.

  • Spoilt for Choice: Diners are treated to a whopping 10 different variations of these tightly rolled masterpieces! From the classic Traditional Gimbap—packed tightly with fried carrots, pickled radish, burdock, egg, and beef—to more modern and indulgent twists.
  • Crowd Favorites: If you want something hearty, the Homemade Pork Cutlet Roll and the savory Bulgogi Roll are absolute must-tries. For those looking for a fusion kick, the Salmon & Cheese or the crispy Bacon & Ranch rolls offer a delightful burst of flavor in every single bite. The best part? They are incredibly affordable, making it easy to order a few different plates to share with your table.

Hearty Stews and Sizzling Hot Plates

While the gimbap might draw you in, the extensive menu of hot mains will make you stay. Rolling Rice excels in producing piping hot, soul-warming dishes that are perfect for a rainy afternoon or a ravenous appetite.

  • The Comforting Classics: Their Soft Tofu Stew (Sundubu-jjigae) is legendary among regulars. It arrives at your table bubbling hot, featuring a rich, spicy, and savory broth loaded with silky tofu, fresh seafood, and minced pork. If you prefer non-spicy options, the Hot Pot Bulgogi is a spectacular choice, featuring tender marinated beef simmering in a sweet-savory broth with glass noodles and fresh mushrooms.
  • Sizzling Goodness: Do not miss out on their Sizzling Stone Pot Bibimbap or the highly addictive Garlic Beef Fried Rice. The heat from the stone pot gives the rice that irresistible, crispy charred bottom that every bibimbap lover dreams of.

The Ultimate Topokki and Fried Snacks Combo

No authentic Korean street food experience is truly complete without the iconic pairing of spicy rice cakes and crispy fried snacks.

  • Cheesy Indulgence: The Cheese Topokki here is a massive crowd-pleaser. The chewy rice cakes and fish cakes are smothered in a fiery, sweet gochujang sauce and crowned with a generous, gooey layer of melted mozzarella cheese.
  • Crispy Pairings: To perfectly balance the heat of the topokki, be sure to order their crispy side dishes. The Fried Kim Mal-Yi (deep-fried seaweed rolls stuffed with glass noodles) and the perfectly battered Korean Fried Chicken pieces are designed to be dunked straight into the spicy topokki sauce for the ultimate bite.

Unbeatable Value with Free-Flow Sides

Dining in the city can often be expensive, but Rolling Rice ensures that every customer leaves completely full and happy. What truly sets this eatery apart from its competitors is its fantastic hospitality and value for money. Diners can enjoy complimentary, self-service free-flow seaweed soup and cold water throughout their meal! Additionally, the restaurant frequently serves up classic banchan (side dishes) like their perfectly fermented, crunchy kimchi to perfectly cut through the richness of your main courses.
