K-DELI in University - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is not a typical restaurant, it is more about selling food-to-go with a counter for those who want to sit there and eat.

Overall great, good vibes good food and good selection.

I absolutely freaking love this convenience store. They cook everything to perfection. My favorite is the spicy rice cakes and the bulgogi combo box. The fresh groceries in the back are all delicious and worth trying. And make sure you try all the different flavors of ramen and lil snacks!

A little disappointing experience. It is actually MUCH smaller inside than expected (if you are in a wheel chair, you probably won’t be able to get around in here, at all). Folks online claimed this store had a “Korean convenience store” vibe and as someone who had lived and worked in South Korea, I can tell you with certainty that this was not the vibe lol not even slightly. They did have a pretty good selection of Korean food products which I liked, but it’s not worth coming back here just to buy them. I did order some food, bibimbap, my city’s specialty, and honestly, it was severely lacking. When I got home, I had to put gochujang in it to liven it up bit. The meat was wadded up into a giant ball, and although I know black rice is all the rage for being healthy, I wish I had the option to choose white rice instead. Oh well, at least the price point was fair.

Don’t sleep on this place! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. The food is outstanding and full of flavor! We will be back for sure!

This is the best place in town for Kimbop and the only place that sells delicious jopchae ! I’m allergic to fishes, shell fish, peanuts and they adapt the ingredients in the food to my allergies.

I love this place I get the beef bulgogi kimbap and it is soooooOOO good 🔥 and the snacks are cool and the drinks are good and there’s so much stuff u can buy and they play newjeans and I love newjeans 🐰🐰🐰🐇 AND THEY PLAY WAVE TO EARTH I LOVE WAVE TO EARTH SOOOO SO SO SO MUCH

Drove all the way from Orlando to try the food. Ordered the beef Bulgogi and spicy pork combo box, as well as udon bulgogi soup. Everything was delicious! I cannot believe the amount of food in the combo boxes. The broth from the soup was one of the best I’ve EVER had. Great selection of drinks in the fridges too. Will be returning!

This is a small mom and pops place. The food is amazing and has a real Korean dining experience . The atmosphere is fun and friendly. I love everything about this place and will definitely continue to support their business. I highly recommend! The owners are super friendly and sweet too !

Food is to die for will not be disappointed

What a disappointment, traveled out of my way to go here after watching the video. Turned out to be a hole in the wall with rude and insulting staff who kept eyeing us up and down. I ordered spicy Ttebokki , Kimchi and the ever famous corn ice cream. I should’ve listened to the man at the register when he said stay away from the frozen foods lol because my corn ice cream look like a can of cream corn and freezer burnt. The prices were good but the portions were extremely small and tasteless. Best thing was the video playing with BTS V’s song Love me again. Would have spent more money, but made me feel very uncomfortable. I will not visit this store again. Sorry no shout out for you.!

Best Korean in FL this one is a hidden gems. I highly recommend the soy garlic chicken wings. And they have lots of snacks to buy.

I always come here looking for someone to battle! No one has stepped up to the challenge 😤🦹‍♀️

Best spicy rice cakes i ever had

Best Korean food I ever had good amount of opinions

The cashier with glasses and a covid mask was incredibly rude, her attitude is really poor, and she makes you feel like a chore to deal with. This is very upsetting, K-Deli was one of my favorite spots to frequent.

Food is delicious and definitely got a good amount for the price. The employees are nice and food comes quick. The shop is smaller with only a few chairs so wasn’t able to sit inside to eat but that wasn’t a big issue. Definitely great Korean food in the area and I recommend it!

I ordered the chicken katsu box and there was a good variety of food included and everything tasted delicious. The portion was also a very good size.

Probably my favorite place around university to eat . Their food is so tasty I never get tired of it. I love coffee from here too now I’m addicted to it I no longer go to Starbucks or Panera. Love the staff too! I wish them well and keep up great service!

Outstanding food, super fast service, and great prices.

Definitely enjoyed the rakboki and kimbap that we had!! My Korean friend approved 👌🏻

incredible service and huge amount of food and snack options that’s affordable!

The food is absolutely delicious! I get the lunch/dinner tray that comes with your choice of meat, kimchi, rice, 2 kimbabs, glass noodles, and a spring roll. So worth the price because I can get about 2 meals out of that and you get a little bit of everything.

Just happened upon this place while out and about. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was great. Would definitely recommend and will return! Edit after 2 years: Food is still great and the staff is always friendly!

I loved the combo box with spicy chicken. Everything inside was delicious!

Deli is the perfect way to describe it. I was in and out fast with good food.

This was my first time visiting K-Deli, and based on the aroma of Korean cuisine that hit my nose when I got out of my car, I just knew the food was going to be delicious. I ordered the pork combo box, beef Mandoo, and 4pc Soy Garlic chicken wings. Everything was so flavorful. The soy garlic wings were definitely my favorite spicy, garlicky, umami. I will definitely be returning to try some new items off the menu as well as order those wings again!

I'm sorry yall but this place is roach infested! You guys need to bomb this place that's nasty cooking food and having roaches crawl by no no no

The food is worth the price. Really good portions and it taste delicious. I got the spicy pork and kimchi, also got some Kimbap.

This place is FKN AMAZING, I just happened to find this place after an appointment. I ordered extra sides to take home and then the bulgogi combo box. I couldnt finish it all in fear of going into a sleep coma lmao. I was humming while eating.

The beef bulgogi kimbap was great, but quite pricey. This location is nice because it serves as both a restaurant and a mini convenience store.

I tried the spicy fish cake kim bap, and it was fantastic! 🤤 If you're a fan of fish cake and sushi, you're sure to enjoy kim bap! I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the lunch box combo!!

Big portions, great prices, extremely high quality food. This place is heaven.

Udon noodle soup with bulgogi beef.

Ive been to a few supposed Korean restaurants that catered to the american taste buds. K-deli is was very Korean from the taste to the portions. I couldn't finish it.

INSANE food and literally cant be beat

Love this place! It is my wife and my favorite place to eat...just incredible food, great people, plus awesome music. It is a gem 💯

I absolutely love this place, ive tried a few different combo meals and they’re all amazing and so much food. I love the variety of cooler food and dry food.

Nice little shop good food nice atmosphere if you’re a k pop fan this place is a must go

I love that, unlike Oriental Market, this place sells the latest sweets and snacks that are currently being sold in Japan(there are also a bunch of Korean snacks too!). They also have drinks, sweets, kimchi, and side dishes in the fridge. My go-to is the Bulgogi bento box but I need to try the Katsu bento box next time. The owner is Korean. They used to work in Japan for a few years so they speak Korean🇰🇷 and Japanese🇯🇵. They are very friendly. You can buy the latest Japanese sweets and sweets that are difficult to obtain at Oriental Market. Most of the Korean restaurants in the area are expensive, but I recommend this one because it's cheap for the quantity and taste. Of course, we also sell kimchi and side dishes. The owner is Korean, but before coming here he managed a Korean restaurant in Tokyo for several years, so he can speak Japanese fluently.

This was made with such care. Absolutely delicious. The kimchi mandu amazing. Portions great. Had spicy chicken box and it came with apps and sides- all fresh and crispy. Fantastic. You have a new loyal customer here!

The food was so good! And they greeted us as we walked in, which was nice. I just wish the place it self was bigger so you can shop all the products. It can be a bit overwhelming with all the options they have! But I definitely recommend checking them out.

Always delicious and the owners are awesome

The atmosphere is really good and lots of fun snacks to try. But the food itself seems more quantity than quality. I had super big portions of bulgogi and kimbap but the taste wasn't that good.

The biggest kimbap I’ve ever seen! Such good food and family owned. Would highly recommend as a quick stop for authentic Korean food and trendy grocery items.

Se a convertido mi refugio cuando no quiero cocinar ME FACINA ♥️

Good quality and tasty food. Lots of snacks and ramen noodle cups/packages to choose from, along with soft drinks and some frozen treats. Military discount!

This place has become my utopia for when I’m stressed, the people there treat me like family and they’re so kind, I’m grateful to find such a place

My wife and I have only done take out from here, but the food is awesome. And so are the owners, very polite, kind and friendly. I recommend the Bulgogi Bento Box Combo/C1, it is fantastic. The raddish and cucumber salad is stellar. The bulgogi is soft and the purple rice is cooked perfectly. Thank you K-Deli, you have a loyal and frequent customer now. Keep up the fantastic food and service. With my respect, Bill Hall

First time coming here. I really really like it. simple but good!! Portions are big and very filling. I like the mom and pop vibe. i recommend🫶🏻🫰

Delicious Korean food at an awesome price. I have never dined in here, only pick up orders- but the food is always piping hot and delicious when I get it. The pricing here is very fair and generous. I hope they expand the menu because it’s so affordable! Also love the little grocery shop attached to the restaurant, have gotten some good snacks and drinks there. And the staff are always very nice!

現炸的雞排，以及韓式與日式的搭配很酷 店裡也有許多韓國與日本的食物與零食 想念韓式與日式食物的人，可以來嘗試看看！

The best food / kimchi / snacks etc !

I always stop in here if I'm in the area. They have a lil market inside as well with some hard to find snacks. They always have Kpop music with videos playing. Their staff is always super friendly. Their kimbap is my favorite in the area! Their tteokbokki and kimchi is actually spicy so be aware of that if you are comparing it to other local Korean places. The kimchi Kimbob made my tongue tingle lol but it was delicious. This is not a large sit down restaurant, they have maybe 10 chairs inside along the wall in one long high top bar style. They will give your food in to go containers if you are eating inside or not which is perfect becuase we can never finish everything. My go to order is the veggie kimbob or the bulgogi combo box. My husband always orders the large japchae with spicy pork on the side. They have canned/bottled drinks for sale in their lil market area with lots of dessert options too. Would recommend!

First time i ordered food to this place today. The food taste great and I have everything i like in one bulgogi box. I will definitely go back and try the other food but my favorite is the bulgogi box! 😋

I order this on door dash and when I tell you this food was so good, even considering it was delivered the food was really hot and good. I can’t wait to actually go in and dine! 10 outta 10

We accidentally came across K-Deli while visiting the area to drop off a package at Staples. My family and I love Korean food, we have eaten at almost all of the Korean restaurants in the Tampa area. We ordered udon soup, kimbob, a bulgogi beef and spicy chicken lunch boxes and tteokbokki. I must say that this family owned restaurant was fantastic, we absolutely loved everything. The lunch boxes were huge and there was nothing in there that was not delicious. This is our new favorite place for Korean food. My only wish is that k-Deli was located closer to my house but I will happily drive twice the distance for their food. We are now loyal customers.

I ordered the bulgogi lunch box. I’ve been coming here for a few months and I’ve never had a bad experience. I can tell they take pride in what they do and it really shows.

Lovely family who run this place, and they are always so appreciative of my attempts at Korean. We always get the Bulgogi combo box because every part of it is delicious, but this time, my daughter tried the bulgogi udon noodle soup and wow, such a rich broth and wonderful flavor! Will definitely order that again. The ONLY downside is just a small bar for eat-in. Don't get me wrong, that won't stop it from being one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa, but still a downside.

I never really try korean food but today I went to check this place and it s amaze how good it was it s such a great place with Great service , friendly , good portion of food , fresh food. Family own :)

Although it may seem expensive at first glance the love and care poured into the food make every cent worth it. The Bulgogi is very juicy and yummy, the tuna-mayo kimbap is my go-to, and when it finally gets cold in Florida the Bulgogi udon is a MUST. I recently tried their Beef Mandus which were amazing (just know that they are the crispy kind not the soft chewy kind) and the Tonkatsu meal kit which was also nice and crispy. If you are a USF student I highly recommend getting any of their kimbaps with radish kimchi. The only thing is I wish they had gluten-free options because my mom has Celiac Disease and I wish I would share it with her...

I love K-Deli! I had Bulgogi gimbap and tteokbboki and they were super delicious. I'm a fan!!

K-Deli has always been so delicious every time I go and I would HIGHLY recommend their food to everyone. There is this older gentleman who makes the food and he has such a sweet smile and greets us warmly every time. All of the staff is so welcoming and they’re very fast getting the food prepared.

Feels like your in a small local deli in Korea. Love it!

The most authentic Korean food I’ve had in Tampa. I’ve visited multiple times with great consistency. Kimbop is delicious, and very hard to find prepared fish cakes

This was my first time in the store and it will not be my last. I enjoyed going inside and seeing what they had inside. I ordered Bulgogi Beef Bibimbob and it was great. Cannot wait to go back again.

I come here all the time to buy some cool Asian snacks I can’t get at my local supermarket, and sometimes I eat the veggie kimbap as well! Really nice staff and won’t hesitate to personalize your order if you’re sensitive to an ingredient as well.

I just finished their Bibimbob and Chicken kattsu bento. Both were fantastic, but the true star of the show was the chicken kattsu bento. It was perfect. They get more than two thumbs up from me!!

The restaurant is cute. I love how they have different variety of snacks and ramen. They’re in a convenient location by USF. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Bibimbob. I give it a 2 out of 5. I liked the chicken but the rest of the food was subpar.

Great food, reasonably priced, will definitely be back.

When you walk through the door, you immediately smell the delicious food. We ordered the tuna mayo kimbob, the spicy chicken combo box and the bumgogi combo box. We also got a caramel macchiato while we waited for our order. Everything we ordered was so good! The shop is filled with wonderful things to buy. We picked up some Japanese KitKats, green tea cake rolls and some drinks. Highly recommend!

I love this place it’s like going to visit mom and dad for good home cooking plus they sell other goodies!!!!

Delicious. Love the combo boxes. Tastes like we are back in Korea. One of our favorite places. Only downside is just a small bar for dining in. We usually get it to go. Lots of cool Asian snacks for purchase as well.
