Tasty food, good vegetarian options. If anything I would recommend them to make the pick up process a little more straightforward... it feels like you have to wait in the same line as the people ordering in. But besides that no problems. read more

Ordered 3 bowls and one side of kimchi for pickup. Got home and realized the kimchi wasn't in the bag, but couldn't justify driving all the way back. Next time I guess I'll order in store to make sure I get everything. read more

The healthy options and large portions make BIBIBOP one of my favorite go-tos. Plus quick delivery to my office this week when I forgot my lunch! read more

Quick, efficient, nutritious and delicious! I came after work and really liked the space and the concept. Easy to order and ready to eat! Mmmmm In 4 simple steps you create your bowl: base (rice, salad, noodles or rolls), starch (potatoes or beans or crunchy sprouts), protein (chicken, steak or tofu) and the seasonal toppings (veggies). You can add some sauce at the end or try different kinds at the self serve station. I got half spicy chicken half standard on white rice with teriyaki sauce and all sorts of toppings. It waa very good and I had enough for a small lunch next day! read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Chicken on white rice and veggie toppings - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Not all bibimbap is created equal. LOVE BIBIBOP! Fresh and delicious variety and large portions. I wish BIBIBOP had its own identity, though instead of looking almost just like Chipotle. read more

This place is like an Asian Chipotle (which I love). My wife and I hit this place up prior to attending an FC Cincinnati game. It was very convenient because it's located right next to the field. We made our way through the line quickly and had two delicious bowls for a reasonable price! The fact that they had Yum Yum sauce put the cherry on top; it was great! Plus their bathrooms were super clean! read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - My delicious creation - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Bibibop is new to the Clifton Heights/UC food Scene. The restaurant is bright and clean. The interior is done in white and orange; very modern. It is in the same style of Chipotle or Moe's Burritos. In reality it is an Asian version of Chipotle. You step up and tell them what you want in one of 3 options: A bowl, a salad, or a wrap. Ingredients offered are regular chicken, spicy chicken, steak, or tofu. You then can add, white rice, "purple rice (made of a blend of black and white rice), black beans, carrots, corn, cheese, kale, cucumber, egg, bean sprouts and 3 special sauces. We have gone twice; once to get a rice bowl with tofu, another time to get a spicy chicken wrap. I added several of the trimmings, and each time the meal was excellent. Being so close to the University of Cincinnati, fast food choices abound. This place gives you options for the meat eater or the vegetarian. Bibibop is a welcome step up for a healthy alternative. There is only one slight drawback, which has cost them a star....they offer a free Miso soup. It is like eating lukewarm water with diced scallions. It is pretty bad. It would be better if they simply didn't offer it. Other than that, if you want healthy fast food in Clifton Heights, DO NOT miss a meal here! read more

Now THIS is the type of flare that Calhoun St. desperately needed. It's aside from anything I've had before, and it's definitely a new fave lunch spot for me! I'll admit it - Bibibop is something I have to be craving to have. It's not somewhere I can go without being in the mood for asian. It's "Chipotle with a twist" and so yummy! My go-to order is a salad with chicken, bean sprouts, cucumbers, carrots and corn. then some teriyaki on the side. Simple, but not terrible for you. It's easy to have a light meal or a denser meal here, which is nice depending on how I'm feeling that day. The ingredients are super fresh and delicious, workers are helpful and location is uber-convenient. If I had to give it a kick, it can be a tad overwhelming at times making a decision...especially considering how different it is than most places. Bibibop - I'll be back. read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Ordered lunches for our office. We made sure that we ordered early so the delivery would be here during lunch. Delivery was on however no sauces. I called and was told they will be delivered in 50 minutes. Lunch hour is over by then. Try ninja grill in Clifton. So far no problems with them . FYI, I am not associated with ninja grill. read more

This is definitely my new favorite restaurant! I first had it in Columbus and when I found out Cincinnati had one I was so excited! The food is incredible and the staff are super friendly and helpful. You also get free miso soup so what more could you possibly want? The only down side is parking is only street parking and can be difficult but there are parking garages near by. Other than that I'm totally obsessed with this place. I definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely excellent! Fresh, clean, well trained staff. Great vibe from the manager. We had several questions about the dish selections. He was very helpful to my wife and I on our first visit. read more

I'm really happy to see that Clifton has some healthy, diverse, fast food options. The fast casual model works really well with bibimbap, which translates to "mixed rice" in Korean. I'm jealous of the UC kids and wished there had been a Bibibop on my college campus because then I would have had it at least once a week. The restaurant atmosphere was bright, modern and clean. It's pretty clear that a lot of students do delivery. I'm impressed that they serve a quality product with fresh ingredients. Obviously not the best bibimbap I've had at that price point but for the speed and accessibility I'll give it an A. You can skip the miso soup. Even though it's free, it tastes like salty hot water. Pro-tip get the sauces from the condiment bar so you can control how much goes in. The Korean red sauce was applied heavily and was spicy. This didn't stop me from finishing my entire bowl, but my mouth was on fire towards the end of my meal. On the bright side, at least my sinuses cleared up. read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Love the flavours in this giant giant bowl! Purple and White rice, and SO MANY VEGGIES! Lemonade is so good. The Radish in particular is very crunchy and savoury. Don't skimp out on their radish! Tofu is well fried and coated in delicious sauces. For less than 7$, the service is exceptional, and the food high quality. The decor is very inviting once inside. I definitely keep half of my bowl for another super-satisfying meal, the food is still delish. Try this place out for sure. It's one block from the University of Cincinnati. read more

Yelpers- I have a feeling you're going to see me checking in to Bibibop QUITE often... Because wow. What a perfect Asian twist to the classic Chipotle-style fast-casual restaurant! Definitely a great addition to the plethora of eateries on Calhoun St. The ingredients are fresh and come together to make a beautiful plate. The flavors are A+ and the selection of sauces really pull it together. Then why did I only give it 3 stars? Well, a few reasons. No deal-breakers but simply observations that might help you determine if it's going to satisfy your lunch craving. Mainly, I eat paleo (more or less) and therefore do not order rice with my bowl. Because of this, I finish the bowl and it leaves me wanting more. Which is great because it means the flavors are incredible, but it's also disheartening that I just spent $7.50 on a lunch that will not last more than an hour into the afternoon. Maybe the filling-experience would be different if you ordered rice. Also, when I do order the salad, I suppose they feel the need to add some juice to it and I always end up with mush at the end of the bowl. I'm going to make a point to ask for the meat dry so this doesn't happen. I don't know about you, but I like my salads to be crisp! So overall - it IS a great experience. They always welcome you in when you enter the doors and are quick to serve. Food is great. Just make sure you're not starving when you go if you plan to make the bowl a bit healthier. And choose your toppings wisely:) read more

I would compare this place to Chipotle, except it's more Asian food. Didn't love it & didn't hate it. They had a variety of toppings you can add to your bowl, and the yum yum sauce was tasty, but the food wasn't overly hot or out of this world. The establishment seemed clean & the staff friendly, but I'm not racing to go back. read more

Love bibibop. I'm Korean so I've been eating bi bim bop for years. This place is refreshing, fresh, and healthy. I recommend ordering from DoorDash! read more

First time visiting this place today, and I LOVED it!! It reminds me of Chipotle with the way you build up your bowl of delicious food. They have this purple rice that was flavorful, and all the toppings were fresh and high in nutritious value. The workers were nice and helped me navigate the ordering process smoothly. The vibe of the place is chill, and they had great music playing too. Also, you get free miso soup at the little sauces and drink section too! The pricing was reasonable, as I paid about $8 for my meal. It was worth it, and I hope to come again! read more

Just an all around good experience. The best part is that it's made to order and you can get whatever you want. All ingredients are very fresh and tasty! read more

BIBIBOP is by far my favorite fast casual restaurant. If think chipotle, except for Asian... and higher quality. The purple rice is delicious, the potatoes also delicious, the tofu cooked perfectly, the other toppings also great. As you can tell I think BIBIBOP is delicious. You also really get your money's worth, I can't finish a bowl in one sitting... that's saying a lot, ya boy can eat. On top of fresh juices (highly recommend for your drink), you can choose from bottled aloe water, or the standard Coca Cola. I highly recommend everyone give BIBIBOP a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

I LOVE this place. I love Asian food and this place is basically a Korean Chipotle. Super fast and very clean. Only downside is the seating is small and its kinda of loud. Oh well. Did I mention there is free miso soup?! Recommend. read more

The restaurant was easy to find. It is located in a busy street in the university area. I was able to find street parking immediately and walked to the restaurant. I went for dinner around 6pm, once I walked in, I was greeted immediately and the service for the bowls were super quick and easy. They have free soup and condiments which is great! I would definitely be back the next time I am here for business. read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love BIBIBOP! Great place for a variety of dietary restrictions, as just about anyone (vegan, gluten free, nondairy, even just picky eaters) can create a delicious, satisfying meal out of all of the tasty options here. I've now had it a few times and really enjoy it every time! It's just as satisfying with rice base or just salad, I really enjoy the way they prepare their tofu, and there always seems to be just the right proportions of toppings so that when I mix everything up I get a little of everything in each bite. I've tried a few of the different sauces and everything seems to mesh really well together no matter what combo I try. Highly recommend trying it out if you haven't! read more

Tried this quick dining option before an FC game and it was a-ok. First, they were deluged with customers before the game and the counter people got us through quickly and efficiently. I also saw workers clearing trays for people when they were done which was nice. There was an assortment of magazines on a wall for people to read when eating-nice touch! Restroom was also decent. As for the food, well no it is not truly bibimbop. Another guy in line started talking to us, asking if it was the real deal. He was looking for a stone bowl. No, this (as other helpers have noted) is the chipotle version. We did appreciate the freshness of the ingredients. The purple rice, however, was clumped together. Think there was too much water when cooked. The yam noodles were really good! Should have skipped the beans. Seemed more like Chipotle than Korean. The shredded daikon and carrots were good, and the shredded eggs and bean sprouts. I also added kale to mine, which added a nice crunch and color. We would go back! read more

Never had an experience where I wasn't in and out of there quickly. Always ton of food and great for the price. One of my favorite restaurant chains. read more

This is the first post I've ever written, all because I'm completely shocked by how amazing the food is here. Not only is it delicious and fresh, it's also packed with fiber rich options. As an athlete, I'm a person who hates to leave restaurants still hungry and I can honestly say they always give me more then enough. Not to mention, the team of workers here are always upbeat and kind, making it by far my most frequent stop for food in the entire Cincinnati area. Do yourself a favor and stop by Bibibop to be blown away! read more

Price is right, portions definitely won't leave you hungry, and I feel healthy eating it. The speed in preparation makes it an easy decision for the short time I receive for lunch, and the friendliness of staff makes me glad to come back. I also appreciate the more bio-friendly take away containers (sans-plastic lid) and wooden chopsticks option over plastic ware. Please open more in Cincinnati/northern Kentucky! It is worth the drive, but I would go far more often if it was within walking distance from my office read more

I've been here for the past three days and I love it! About a year ago I made a review on another location (close to outlet mall) and I gave it a poor review but things have really gotten better! read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Mmmmmm asian chipotle. This place is gooood. They have all the nutrition info online so you can create a very healthy, but filling lunch. There are tons of options for toppings. Don't forget a side of Kimchi (yum). The space is nice and clean, the staff friendly and attentive. The prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely give this a shot. read more

It's my second trying Bibibop because I really wanted to love it. It's clean, the décor is pleasing if bland, and it's quick... But damn does the food miss the mark. This is about as "corporate boardroom voted on by committee" you can get when it comes to Asian fast food: a collection of bland meats and toppings desperately trying to be saved by a panel of sauces equally uninspiring. We have Yum Yum (basically shitty ranch... Because America...), teriyaki, some siracha mix and a watery imitation of Korean Gochu jang. I think the topping that appalled me most was the pile of sliced scramble egg that misses the entire point of having a fried egg on top of bibimbap. Oh, and the diced potatoes that makes everything taste like a breakfast hash from your neighborhood iHop. Seriously though, how is it that Japanese 7-11s can provide better food at better prices than this American chain? Spend a few more dollars and get a real bibimbap across the street or hit up Currito next door for essentially the same thing - although I think they have food that tastes more "Asian" than this mess. Find Thai express a block down and enjoy a much better meal at similar prices (though slightly slower). Like Gordon Ramsay says: "What a shame". Indeed. read more

Here you can build your own meal like chipotle. All you pay for is the protein. As you walk up to order you see all the vegetables in a metal wok. The spicy sriracha and Korean red sauce together are a deliciously spicy touch to the food. The spicy chicken warms you up as the night gets cooler during fall. The portion is quite generous and the vegetables crisp. read more

BIBIBOP Asian Grill - Salad Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Bibibop has turned into one of my favorite places to eat. There are so many options (and sauces!) And everytime no matter what I get, it's delicious! I think some people might be reluctant is try bibibop because it's different.. even I was a little nervous to try it at first, but I am so glad I did! read more

One of my favorite asian fast food places to go to. There is a large variety of topping options that are fresh and healthy. This is what really sets apart bibibop from chipotle in my opinion-healthier and fresher toppings. For example-kale, carrot, beets. But, even if you aren't a fan of healthier options, you can just get a chicken and cheese rice bowl (which many people do). The average cost is around $7 which is reasonable because the bowl is pretty large. This is my #1 (along with fusian) "fast food" option because it is delicious, fast, and well priced! 10/10 would recommend read more

Probably my favorite spot in this area. Great food for a good price. Always clean, super friendly workers. Only downside is it's pretty loud. Highly recommend. read more

I bought two bowls and was going to save one for later but the first one tasted so good immediately ate the second one! Lol! Awesome stuff!

I was leery of trying fast-food Korean food but this place is legit!! Loved the completely customizable bowls and the ingredients are all top-notch. The bowls are huge so I will be splitting it with someone else in the future. The veggies are great and the meats are perfectly seasoned. I tried the spicy chicken and steak but am intrigued by the tofu for the future. read more

Another in a long line in "Chipotle" style make your own dish restaurant. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical walking in, then I was a bit overwhelmed. Luckily I had friends who had eaten here before to help me walk through things. The ingredients are unique enough that just making something for the first time isn't quite common sense. Once I got past the initial ordering, I saw that Yum Yum was a sauce option and I knew everything was going to be ok. This is the same sauce that you can get at a Hibachi grill that is so incredibly delicious. Yum Yum on anything has the ability to make most things taste delicious. And, whether it was the Yum Yum or the wild rice, I'm not sure, but it was delicious. I'll definitely be looking for an opportunity to go back again. read more

I usually try not to review chain restaurants (at least I assume this is a franchise), but this place is pretty great. I've been three times and enjoyed my meal each time. That being said, it has never blown me away, but it is good food and good value. You can even have a relatively healthy meal (a rarity on Calhoun). read more

The food here is awesome- it tastes better than you'd expect. The issue is that each of the past three times I've come here, I've ended up waiting 10+ minutes for japchae noodles. Every single time they've been out noodles, and the workers will say "it'll be about 3 minutes". 10 minutes pass, and a dozen or so other people are served before me. Then, when I finally get my food, they skimp on the japchae because there are 5+ people waiting for it. Everyone working here seems great and provides good service. The food is awesome (once you get it). But something seriously has to be done about their timing of preparing food. Seriously considering wiping this place from my frequented restaurants. read more

Healthy food option at an affordable price. Love their yum yum sauce and the miso soup. My only issue is that they used to have a self serve station with all their sauce and miso soup. With the pandemic, now I understand that it is gone, but for takeout they give so less sauce and also charge extra for extra sauces, is not acceptable. My bowl always feels dry and I can not do anything about it. read more
