A well-established food truck recently set down roots in the Delmar Loop.
K-Bop STL debuted its first brick-and-mortar restaurant on Dec. 10, featuring a menu of casual Korean rice bowls and sides.
The concept, which fills the space previously occupied by Guerrilla Street Food, comes from South Korea natives Hye Keeley, Dae Lee and Yu Duck Lee. The trio rolled out the first K-Bop food truck in 2015, followed by a second truck two years later.
Yu Duck, who is Hyeâs brother-in-law, also owns Kampai Sushi Bar in the Central West End. According to Hye, Yu Duck received a formal education in Korean palace cuisine and also served as a military chef, while Dae has 17 years of experience in kitchens.
