A local family has opened Yumsem Eats near the University of South Florida to bring a fast, consistent, and authentic Korean street food experience to the Tampa area.
Exploring Korean Street Food
Manager Joshua Yo, a USF graduate, intentionally chose the area to serve the student demographic in the region. The restaurant operates as a cultural experience driven by a family’s passion for cooking traditional Korean street food.
Yo remarked that his staff focuses on serving guests their meals fast, just like street food, and the menu features several popular Korean items, including Bulgogi Bibimbap, Beef Bulgogi Kimbap, Rose Tteokbokki, and Kimchi ramen.
Yumsem Eats also offers boba drinks, which can be made custom, and features a unique design with stadium seating, custom lighting, and furniture brought directly from Korea.
Visitors can find Yumsem Eats at 11802 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, just north of Fowler Avenue to the west of the USF Tampa Campus.
