Tampa’s food scene just got a delicious upgrade! Yumsem Eats, the newest Korean street food spot, has officially opened at 1441 E. Fletcher Ave, Unit 127 (the same plaza as staff favorite Kalesia Tea). And that’s not all—two more locations are coming soon to 5229 N. Florida Ave and 11802 Bruce B Downs Unit 103. If you’re a fan of bold flavors, this place will become your go-to for tasty, healthy Korean eats.

So, what exactly is on the menu at Yumsem? Think savory, mouthwatering dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Start with Yumsem Tteokbokki, a dish of chewy rice cakes and fish cake seasoned to perfection with scallions and onions. Or try the Yumsem Kimbap—a Korean-style sushi roll stuffed with pickled radish, braised burdock, carrot, spinach, and a perfectly fried egg, all wrapped in crispy roasted seaweed.

Looking for something heartier? The Bulgogi Bibimbap mixes tender beef bulgogi with rice, romaine lettuce, and a scrambled egg. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the Jangjorim (Braised Beef) Bibimbap offers a similar vibe with a different, rich beef flavor.

Yumsem earns 5-star reviews from local foodies

Of course, no meal is complete without a drink, and Yumsem offers refreshing options like Thai tea, strawberry lychee green tea, and taro jasmine smoothies.

But don’t just take our word for it. Local foodie Dorian L. raves, “From beginning to end, the service was one of a kind. They went above and beyond and even shared the history behind their name. The food was delicious—this place is a blessing!”

Adrian Aye also gave Yumsem a 5-star review: “I got the Bulgogi Bibimbap (with extra protein, of course), and it looked and smelled amazing. I couldn’t stop eating! I’ll be back to try more of the menu. If you need a perfect K meal, check it out.”
