Bbbop Seoul Kitchen, a family-run restaurant by Chefs Greg and Sandy Bussey, and Sandy’s brother Steve Shin, known for its fusion of Korean and American flavors, has added new menu items reflecting their mission to blend culture, tradition, and family-inspired innovation.
Guests can now enjoy the Bulgogi Kimchi Cheeseburger, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, as well as the introduction of traditional Kimbap.
The Bulgogi Kimchi Cheeseburger is bbbop’s take on the classic smashburger that pays homage to the Korean BBQ tradition. Made with premium beef, this burger is topped with kimchi, caramelized onions, house pickles, cheese, a sweet-savory bulgogi glaze, and special sauce on a brioche bun.
Inspired by Greg’s son’s love for spicy fried chicken, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich blends a Korean-style fried chicken cutlet with a hint of heat. The chicken is topped with crunchy slaw and spicy gochujang that balance spice, acidity, and richness.
bbbop introduces Kimbap—a beloved Korean snack that combines toasted seaweed, rice, and fresh ingredients into an easy-to-eat roll.
“Growing up, Sandy’s family made kimbap for camping and road trips. It was a great flavorful and healthy snack while on the move.” Greg said. “It’s a comfort food with a communal feel, something families and friends enjoy making together.”
bbbop’s Kimbap is made with bulgogi steak, Korean spinach, carrots, pickled radish and egg, all wrapped in a sheet of toasted seaweed and bap (seasoned rice).
As the family explores new flavors, customers can expect creative twists on kimbap, with future offerings such as vegetarian and other combinations.
“Our restaurant has always been about bringing people together, and the cultural diversity in our customer base and staff reflects that,” Greg said. “Food is a way to connect across cultures, and these new dishes are a way for us to share a little piece of our family’s journey.”
