Meet the Vet-Turned-Foodie Who's Revolutionizing Lunch with Korean Rolls

Forget basic sandwich lunches – there’s a new culinary queen in San Mateo serving up kimbap that will make your taste buds do a happy dance.
Sunny Park, a veterinarian with a serious passion for food, has transformed her lifelong dream into reality by launching Bibimmate, a ghost kitchen specializing in Korean rolls that are basically vegetable smuggling vehicles disguised as deliciousness.
From Vet Clinic to Kitchen
Park’s journey isn’t your typical foodie origin story. After traveling the world and working as a veterinarian, she decided to tackle her son’s picky eating habits by creating kimbap rolls packed with sneaky nutrition. Talk about a mom hack!
More Than Just Rolls
With fillings ranging from fishcake to spicy beef, these $13.95 rolls are more diverse than a San Francisco tech startup’s employee roster. Vegans and meat lovers alike can find their perfect match, whether it’s fried tofu or spam calling their name.
The Kimbap Craze
Thanks to Trader Joe’s introducing frozen kimbap in 2023, these Korean rolls have gone from underground sensation to mainstream crush. Park is riding this wave, offering delivery through DoorDash and proving that healthy food can be both convenient and mouthwatering.
Bibimmate is open weekdays and Saturday, ready to rescue you from boring lunch monotony. Your taste buds (and secretly, your nutritionist) will thank you.
