i was in federal way for the opening of the new link stops. since it drops off near the commons, there are a lot of food options nearby. originally my friends and i were going to go somewhere else but it was wayyy too full and the weather outside had become really rainy, so we walked down to find this place. the inside is okay. they have laminated paper menus posted against the wall. nothing fancy, but it was clean. it's a fast casual joint so you order at the register. the cashier was really sweet. i got the bulgogi sandwich. it was pretty good, but it's served on a thick flatbread that is really... flour-y. it's almost more like a taco, shape-wise. i wish it was in an a baguette or another crispy bread instead. anyways, overall, it was fine. prices are fine, too. i don't see myself seeking it out again, but it wasn't bad by any means. it's cheaper than seoul bowl! read more

Finally tried Bibim Express! First of all, it's a cute, quiet spot that's perfect for a quick bite! The menu is pretty straightforward, but includes the necessities in a typical Bibimbap dish! Flavor was good, but I wasn't getting the "authentic" flavor of traditional Bibimbap. The meat was fine, but lacking a little flavor there. The whole dish could've used more sesame oil/gochujang. We also got the dumplings & fried mushrooms (not pictured) that were super yummy as well! There was just one guy working when I went, but he was very nice & quick to make our meal. Overall, it was a good spot but would personally just go to any other Korean restaurant within a 1 mile radius to get my fix! read more

Bibim Express - Beef Bulgogi Bibim Bowl - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

The ambience is so inviting. Beautiful layout.....not a tone of seating if it were to get busy.......but you don't feel crowded. The Customer Service was friendly and helpful! I spoke with the person at the front, they said they had opened in May. I wish I had known that sooner! This place is a gem! Fresh ingredients, lots of options. My partner and I opted for the Create A Bowl. You have your choice of base, protein, veggies and sauce. I got white rice, with chicken, cabbage, carrot, zucchini, mushroom and scallions. (No egg.....this time!), with Teriyaki sauce. The chicken is all white meat, the veggies are fresh zucchini and mushroom were NOT overcooked. It all came together for a perfect meal. My partner had the white rice, beef, cabbage and zucchini also with Teriyaki. He said it was really and would be back again. I'm glad this is in a perfect place between home and work because I will be back again soon!!!! read more

Bibim Express - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

A fast causal Korean bibimbap / rice bowl restaurant in Federal Way. I went here for Saturday lunch and it was not too busy. I got the beef bulgogi bibimbap which pretty much has all the ingredients listed in the menu, and I opted to add an egg for $1 and that was worthwhile since the egg was cooked to runny, which is my preference. The beef is pretty good and they do add a lot of beef in the bowl. Portions are fairly huge to justify a relatively high price tag ($14.99 for beef bulgogi, +$1 for egg), so close to $18 after tax. The ingredients were relatively fresh and there are a lot of vegetables. I opted for the gochujang sauce that was pretty decent. read more

Bibim Express - Beef Bulgogi Bibim Bowl with gochujang - IG @bougiefoodieboi - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

We stumbled across this place on our outing yesterday. We love Bibimbap and were excited to see it. The storefront looks kind small as it's just a door, but don't let that fool you. They have a small amount of seating or you can order to go! On our visit, we learned that they had only been open a week! Happy to support an up and coming business, especially one that has many competitors in the area. The menu is simple, a rice bowl or a traditional Bibimbap. And if you don't want to have everything in your bowl, or you want a little something extra, you can choose your additions. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi with gochujang. The fried egg on top is optional but I would recommend it! Lots of fresh and delicious vegetables included! We want to go back and try our dishes again with the optional noodles instead of rice! We also tried their pear soda and the honey lemon soda. At first the pear soda tasted like I was eating potpourri but it eventually grew on me. The honey lemon was also good. They would be enjoyable on a hot sunny day for sure! The staff member was very friendly and nice, even inquired how we liked everything! We will be back. Best of luck to this new business! read more

Pretty decent for a bibimbap place. Vegetables seemed fresh and so did the meat. Could be a little more generous with the sauce. Had to get an extra serving and it was still a little dry. read more

Excellent experience at Bibim Express! Lots of options, super friendly staff, and they even let me adjust my order for the special diet I follow. Delicious meal, and amazing options for vegetarian and gluten free! So glad we stopped here during our trip to WA! read more

Very cute shop for a solo date ! Like a Korean version of chipotle but a smarter and better choice to make. The employee who served me did an excellent job, took the time to review options and even assisted other customers while making orders! Multitasker! I will come again for the food but her service made my visit sweet . read more

I was a little disappointed that the bibim bowl didn't come with an egg. They charge $1 extra for an egg. Beef bibim was pretty good but it needed extra bibim sauce since it was on the dry side for me. Rice bowl is smaller than bibim bowl. I wish it was same size as bibim bowl since the price is the same. The lettuce wrap was pretty good. Sadly the tteokpokki was horrible, not worth $7. Overall, decent place for only bibim bowl. read more

A great spot for quick, affordable Korean-inspired comfort food! We tried the Bibim Bowl with sweet potato noodles and spicy pork bulgogi topped with an egg. While it doesn't have the same depth of flavor as a traditional Korean restaurant, it's perfect for satisfying a bibimbap craving on the go (especially at that price point). The service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. Our favorite dish was the Yachae Twigim--crispy, flavorful, and a must-try! I'd definitely return for a quick, tasty meal. read more

Interior is light, playful and clean! Definitely a hole in a wall sort of vibe, and it's a good one! Food was freshly made and delicious! The day we came there was a "buy 2 bowls, get a free gyoza" on a small chalkboard. The rice bowls are large portioned, a lot of rice and good amount of protein and veggies, the gyoza was fried and came with a yummy sweet soy sauce on the side. We also got a yuzu drink which also had a passion fruit sort of taste too! Everything was awesome, the cashier was kind, patient and helped us with our options while ordering. This is a go-to spot! read more

We discovered this little hidden gem by accident and became an instant fan of this new phenomenon known as K-Bowls. I chose the beef as my protein and we also had another bowl with tofu the bowl has rice topped with veggies that I was able to select along with our choice of topping sauce. Everything blends together really well, and the portions are very generous. The staff was helpful, explaining the concept in order choices. read more

Bibim Express - This is the recommended k bowl I had here during my first visit - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

I would recommend this place to those who love take out or sit in to eat. They have great food, great service clean atmosphere! .

The bulgogi is good and Tteokbokki is soft and not too chewy with a slight kick. Mango drink is more like sparkling soda (I'm not a fan of sparkling soda) but it's not bad. Can taste the mango but only if you drink it without food in your mouth. Would try again. read more

This was an unexpected amazing discovery, in federal Way of all places. Stopped by the Jamba Juice and discovered a new eatery had opened. Out of curiosity, went inside toBinim express, the name is gonna take a little time for me to learn how to pronounce correctly, the "K-Bowls" or Korean bowls are out of this world delicious I went with the standard beef bowl with very generous portion, and the price is very fair. It's the sauces! Amazing toppings that did magic on my tongue. The people seemed very nice and were very patient because this is not the normal type of food that I'm used to. I'm describe it as a fast food take on Korean food. these guys did a good job of educating me but after that first bite, I was in love. I was also impressed with the cleanliness. read more

If your looking for good bi bim bap, look elsewhere. Its mediocre at best. Rice was cold. Egg was hard boiled in udon. There a much better choices in tacoma area. Can say that the staff were super nice though. read more

First time trying it, I work close by so I was anxious for them to open. I tried the Beef Bulgogi rice bowl. It was good, solid sized portion, and satisfying.

Quick service, simple menu and delicious food. It was light and healthy with generous portions. Very clean as well. Will return!

Stopped by for lunch, got the beef bulgogi bimbim bowl- was delicious! Great service too

This place is AMAZING! My picky teen, who dislikes most vegetables, RAVED about his bowl tonight! Both kids want to go to Bibim Express again, like TOMORROW! The servings are indeed a full meal, and while the servings were generous, the prices were reasonable. My husband & I loved the Goyza too, and were the perfect complement to our bowls. My husband and kids all had rice - but I chose the noodles and that was a big win. They all got jealous after just a taste of those Sweet Potato Noodles! Cannot wait to try another bowl here - trying pork with more vegetables this time. read more

wow absolutely incredible - light yet filling. customer service was great. The peach soda was so refreshing and delicious. The gyoza was so fresh and tasty. the chicken had the perfect seasoning 10/10!!! will be back. The establishment was clean and beautiful. read more
