I got a small steak bowl from Bibibop and it was SO good -- honestly one of those meals that hits every time. The steak was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and I loved how fresh everything tasted. The cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, and avocado added the perfect crunch and balance, and nothing felt heavy or overly sauced. You can really tell everything is made fresh and customizable to exactly what you want. I added the spicy sriracha sauce and it brought everything together -- just the right amount of heat without overpowering the bowl. Every bite had a mix of textures and flavors, which made it super satisfying. Also, for a "small" bowl, the portion was actually really filling. It's the perfect option when you want something that feels healthy but still tastes amazing. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I want something quick, fresh, and flavorful -- I'll 100% be ordering this again. read more

This location is a lot smaller than suburban locations. It did feel a little dirty inside. Service overall was friendly and quick. Ingredients for my bowl were fresh. Unfortunately I was headed to an event afterwards so couldn't take leftovers. Bowls are filling and can make to your liking. read more

Im so glad the city has a BIBIBOP because im obsessed! I came in and was served quickly. I ordered the fan favorite and enjoyed. I will say its saltier than other bibibops' I go to, but perhaps it was an off day! other than that it was very nice inside and everyone was friendly. read more

This was my first time at Bibibop, but wasn't as impressed as I've heard others describe this restaurant. I went during lunch hours and this particular was extremely busy, they even ran out of water cups. Limited seating if you are looking to dine in. I ordered the spicy chicken over noodles with Yum Yum and spicy sriracha sauces. The veggie toppings were really good. The mistake I made was ordering chicken because you could taste a little of the raw meat itself. It was not good at all. If I decide to back, then I will order tofu, but would not recommend the chicken. read more

I love this place! The food is always fresh and amazing, and the staff is wonderful. Thank you Brett for helping me out today!

I recently went to bibibop and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people were and the food was delightful. I have celiac and it's hard to find places to eat at out of the house. You can sample the ingredients which was very helpful. They have an outside area with extra seating. The drink selection was great with many different tea options included in the regular drink price. They had complementary soup as well. I look forward to enjoying bibibop often. read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Outside restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

for what it is, i don't understand how i can give less than five stars. huge bowls delivered at $12 a piece? that's nuts in 2025. there are also a ton of options to customize with as opposed to a place like chipotle where you're pretty crazy limited/no matter how much you change each bowl will taste really similar. the flavor isn't mind blowing but it's a great alternative to other fast casual places, and, again, the portions are excellent and toppings are abundant. you want spicy? sweet? savory? hot? cold? i look forward to them opening more spots around the country. read more

Speedy quick and food here is amazing!! the guys at the counter were very helpful! I wasn't sure which sauce to pick and they gave me samples to try and offered suggestions to help narrow things down. I definitely will be back. read more

I have probably been to all the bibibops in the area and the ingredients are always fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The purple rice, noodles, tofu, curry chickpeas, sesame ginger and the sriracha are some of their delicious items to incorporate into your bowl. The entire bowl lasts me three meals. If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out! I've introduced so many of my friends to this and they're obsessed. Come join the club! read more

A fast food buffet style kind of Bibimbap bar. It's not buffet, but it definitely reminds me of Korea's buffet Bibimbap bars. Simple ingredients in a bowl that you get to choose. I requested purple rice, but didn't get any purple rice. So I was a little disappointed as I expected rice, but its a pretty typical Bibimbap place. It's great to see this fast to go food bar style in Chicago and for Bibimbap! Nothing special about the food here, but since there are not many Bibimbap places or Korean food places in the area in general, a great stop for some healthy Korean food. And, can't really go wrong with some rice/veggies and whatever else delicious toppings/sides you love. read more

I have tried all the Chicago area Bibibops. I am updating this review 10-22-24 bc I appreciate the attention and consideration by the team. Thank you. Smallest in size but it doesn't matter to me. There is no parking but that's expected in the downtown area. It's right across the street from DePaul University. The more important things are: food portions and taste of the food and the peace and atmosphere of the store. The portions were originally the smallest here but when I returned after my review the portions were bigger thank you! The Korean K-pop music is totally fine w me and it was no longer too loud that my ears did not hurt. I did not have to put my noise canceling AirPods on like last time thank you. My personal favorite is the Des Plaines IL location. Generous portions and food was very fresh and the location is super clean. Free and easy parking there. Nice thing about this location downtown is that it has a bathroom which is always nice to have. Overall I love Bibibop and I appreciate having a downtown location.Thank you again for listening ... means the world to me bc I love Bibibop! read more

If you like chipotle and Asian food, you'll love this place. This is a good mix of both. The bowls are very generous, imo bigger portions than chipotles bowls. The service here is friendly and fast. Very casual grab and go! I'd come here again on a hungry and busy day read more

May I just say, where has this been all my life?? I was recently able to try my first Bibibop bowl when they came to my workplace Fooda station. I was blown away! This bowl was so fresh, so delicious! The portion was incredibly generous for the price (something other Fooda vendors tend to skimp on). I will for sure be trying Bibibop Asian Grill again! read more

BIBIBOP is my go to place whenever I am in the area. Miso soup is self-serve and is included with the meal, it is always delicious and always warms me up especially on these colder night. I usually make my own bowl and the ingredients are always fresh and the sauces are tasty. The employees are polite and the place is always clean. The portions are big enough to have leftovers. I am definitely your fan and will be coming back many times. Keep up the good work! read more

Took advantage of their BOGO bowls promotion and got lunch and dinner. The "chef-curated" teriyaki tofu bowl was listed under "customer favorites" on the online menu, and it was easy to tell why. The bowl tasted fresh and hearty, though it didn't dispel my misgivings about unsweet black beans in a loosely bibimbop-type prep. The "free" bowl was a build-your-own in small, yet it was volumetrically and by weight the larger bowl, and built from cold ingredients (tofu, carrots, kale, corn, pickled red cabbage, broccoli, and egg over salad greens) that could wait to be eaten, it made a substantial dinner, though unlike the chef-curated bowl, actually needed its sauce for flavor, so I'll keep my day job. The online ordering process was just about frictionless: my order was waiting for me in a spotless store where the other customer was awaiting the rest of a catering order that looked vividly healthy and tasty in its trays. As for the bowls I ordered, they were just the thing for an unseasonably warm late-December afternoon and evening, but I'm looking forward to trying them again, no matter the season. read more

Lovely service. Cafeteria style. You have different choices of protein and starch- noodles or rice. You also chose your own flavors and condiments. They have vegetarian options too. Food was fresh and healthier than most fast food options. Busy area. Very limited street parking. read more

Appreciate that Bibibop is open until 9pm - feels like so many restaurants close by 3pm in the Loop, so Bibibop is a great option for later meals! Portion sizes are huge!! We ordered the sweet & spicy chicken bowl and build your own bowl. There are so many choices/toppings, the combinations are truly endless. I was stuffed from my meal, but there is also serve yourself miso soup on the counter, which I think is a nice touch! read more

Good healthy eating very clean restaurant very good attentive employees a few other restaurant should take notes

A great place for lunch if you're looking for healthy food that's flavorful. The service is fast and easy to order. I usually have trouble deciding on what to get at similar places, but it is very straightforward even if it's your first time. It's also very affordable and filling. The restaurant is inclusive for people with different dietary restrictions. I love getting the purple rice, bulgogi, yum yum sauce, and their various sides. I highly recommend trying the yum yum sauce if it's your first time here. No matter how busy they got, they always maintained a clean area including the bathrooms! The workers are very nice the helpful as well if you ever have questions :) read more

What happened to this place? We used to love it and now the chicken is so overcooked and tough and they slop so much sauce on as you are begging them to stop, it renders the rest inedible too. Did it get sold or new management ? Sooo sad. It used to be great. read more

Delivered via Uber Eats. I got the spicy chicken bowl with yellow rice, chicken curry, and cucumbers. It was awesome! I got Yum Yum sauce also to throw in there. My coworker got the Korean BBQ which he said was awesome. They give very generous portion as well. Definitely will be going back read more

I have not tried this place out prior to coming to this location and I'm thoroughly impressed. After looking for it in California, I'm glad that there's one in LA. That being said, I do wish they are more locations near where I live. Ok so this is a build your own place that focuses on Asian cuisine, specifically Korean. This has similarities to On+On, but is different enough to be its own entity. I had the Bibi fan favorite Witt some modifications. It was sooooo delicious. The sweet potato "glass" noodles was awesome. I also enjoyed the chicken and the accompanying toppings, which were a mix of sauces and veggies. It's a burst of flavor that I know I would want again. If you want a delicious healthy conscious meal, you can't go wrong here! read more

Amazing! Workers were so kind and friendly. Food was fresh, DELICIOUS and flavorful! We stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad we did. It was worth paying the toll road twice read more

This is the best "fast-food" if you want something healthy, filling, and tasty. If they have fruit available it is always ripe. Veggies are always fresh. I always get the tofu and it's so good. This location was smaller inside but the line moves so fast it's not an issue. There was plenty of seating. read more

We've seen a real boom in this kind of build a bowl restaurant concept this past decade. This is probably my favorite version. I love these flavor profiles and I m pretty sure the combinations are as great as you will find when you factor in the various sauces. The food tastes really fresh. I've actually been here many times and have never been disappointed. Delivered once but mostly I eat it there with the many college students from across the street. I love that they have purple rice and I have been ordering it with 1/2 rice and 1/2 noodles. Just thinking about it now is making me crave it. They have a reward program but I can't make the app work for me. It's over my head I guess. It's a good value in any case but it would be nice to participate. 5 stars for what this is. I'm a fan. I replied to the message from the business. No reply and no assistance. read more

Overall a solid and healthy food choice. It's not authentic whatsoever (just the option of adding kimchi) but it's pretty tasty ! I was able to get a $2 coupon from DePaul and it came out to 11 bucks! I was full and satisfied! I might come back if I forget my lunch ! read more

Food is amazing and always fresh. I highly recommend 10/10. The one on calumet is very clean, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

This was our 2nd lunch of the day so we were already pretty full. However we thought a good healthy salad would be the perfect balance from our heavy 1st lunch. I like that it's chipotle style and there's a lot of ingredients. I also love that they have different sizes as well. I was pretty full and I got the mini bop and it was perfect! And very cute as well. Everything taste fresh and healthy Price was very reasonable and service is good as well read more

I think I've eaten here over 50 times since they've opened up. I'm literally addicted and for the amount of food you get for the price, this place is the REAL DEAL. This place has a similar concept to chipotle. You can choose from a few basis like purple rice, veggie blend or white rice and then you can top the latter with whatever toppings and protein they have. The scoops are very generous and you can add as many and as much toppings as you want. My favorite protein is the spicy chicken, but the steak and tofu are also great options. The sauces are extremely flavorful but the teriyaki is by far my favorite. It's not too sweet and ties the entire dish together. They also have yum yum sauce if you're looking for a creamier flavor. The kimchi is GOOD! They even offer it on the side for a $1.95. I wish it was a bit more spicy but it's still delicious none-the-less. I highly recommend you visit this place if you're in the loop area. It's a great place for a healthy lunch or dinner. Till next time! read more
