John's Snack and Deli is a hole in the wall deli in the financial district which serves unusual inventions such as the korean kimchi burrito, spam kimbap, and much more. I was excited to try this place because I hear that they were inspired by the famous LA korean burrito truck Kogi. It was definitely a track out there to drive since its right in the middle of the financial district so public transportation is suggested. I ordered the kim hi burrito and spam kimbap, but was sad to hear they sold out of the kimchi fried rice. After taking the first bite I immediatley came to the conclusion that burritos and korean food don't mix that well together. It definitley had an unusual taste with the kimchi and flour tortilla. The spam kimbap was pretty non-tasty as well with hardly no spam in it. I figured that these were just a cheap knock off of the LA truck which I would like to try if I go down there again sometime.
