This is our second time coming to Bibimboom and everything was just as amazing as we remember. The food was delicious, the place was clean and organized, and service was quick and excellent. The staff who served us were so friendly and attentive, I really wish I got their names. This time around, we tried their Bibimbap, Bulgogi, and Seafood Tofu Soup. The Salt & Scallion Pork was a top favorite of ours, so we got that dish again as well. Everything was soooo so good--very tasty and cooked to perfection! The soup was a little too spicy for me so I didn't eat much of it, but all the other dishes were just *chef's kiss* for me! read more

my hubby and i decided to try out this place out. 1. customer service was really bad overall. we were not greeted at all. within a few minutes just standin there a random employee came in and told us to put our names on the waitin list and we will be with you soon it took like bout almost 10 minutes just to sit down. 2. food- it was decent enough to eat. my hubby wanted 2nd round of kim chi etcc. the waiter totally forgot to give it to us and was diffcult to get their attention again, instead, we decided pay and leave. while paying for our dinner, the waiter asked my husband how was our dinner, he said fine, but they forgot our request for additional kimchee. the waiter apologizes and stated they will pack some sides to go with our dinner. read more

Great new place. It's the Korean food place vibes. Enjoyed the food and the quick service. The food came out really hot. Had great help at this place from: Jaden, Shelly and Amy. read more

I found that the place that used to be here closed and saw people waiting to get seated, so I decided to come back when the wait was not as long. Got the salt & scallion pork dish. I love how the rice gets crispy on the bottom. The portion was decent as I was able to take home leftovers. The dish was pretty much hot the whole time I was eating it, so no worries about it getting cold! Lol! I want to come back and try the other items! read more

Bibimboom - Salt Scallion Pork - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

Really good Korean restaurant! Came to Bibimboom after finishing up watching a movie. The interior is nicely inspired with plenty of tables to sit. Service was really quick and attentive to get our order taken by Hana who helped us while we dined in. All of the food was really good as well! We ordered the Bibimbap, Kimchi Pancake, and Salt & Scallion Pork. My personal favorite was Scallion Pork since it was cooked to perfection and left us feeling full. During our visit they unfortunately did not have any alcoholic drinks, only soda which was not a problem (we really liked the barley tea). We will definitely come back since theres other items on the menu we wanted to try! read more

We left absolutely stuffed--Bibimboom is super generous with portions. For the food, we ordered the bulgogi and the kimchi pancake. The pancake was just okay; more like a Korean-style pizza with cheese, when I was expecting something closer to a traditional egg-based pancake. The bulgogi, though, was a standout: flavorful, perfectly cooked, and served sizzling hot. And the real highlight? Easily the best shaved ice in all of Mira Mesa. Good scoop of ice cream and it tasted liked coconut shavings yum! Not healthy but it's a good place to get your cravings met for some Korean food. Great service and it is a bit hard to park--the lot gets pretty full. read more

I went with a couple of friends for dinner on a Tuesday evening. We were immediately seated at a table inside and provided with appetizer side dishes (cucumber, kimchi, spinach, and bean sprouts). I tried the Bibimbap (beef), scallion pork, and garlic eggplant. While everything tasted good and came with dipping sauces, I would have liked a little more flavor. It was all cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. read more

Bibimboom - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely amazing food! Came in on a Saturday and got seated and served pretty quickly for lunch! The bibimbap is absolutely amazing and healthy! A wide mix of veggies with meat on a bed of delicious white rice in a hot stone bowl. The rice on the bottom crisps up for a delicious end to the meal! The beef crepe is a must get. It was beef in what tasted like a pretty egg heavy batter (PROTEIN RICH). Definitely coming back. Again ask for OZ and Hana, absolutely wonderful servers! read more

New Korean restaurant in Mira Mesa. Yum!! Cute spot with warm vibes. Food was delish, very comfort food. Liked the array of bonchons, and they tasted "clean" yet still flavorful. Service was also superb! Kudos Kyla & Shelly. It was poppin' on a Monday night, so they were kept busy running all the tables. Had a great experience, and 100% would come again! read more

Considering the amount of time I waited to get seated (which was around 45 min), the price, and the taste I don't think I would return Me and my partner ordered the yuk geon (forgot to take a pic) as well as the salt and scallion pork. The yuk geon was tasty but it was close to 16 bucks and considering how small it was I don't feel it was fairly valued. I think the worst offender was definitely the salt and scallion pork. I'm not sure how some of these reviews are raving about it being "life changing" but it is definitely just mediocre. Although it is salted well, the bowl consists of 3/4 rice and there is just a hint of scallion flavor. Service was good and the interior of the restaurant looks nice so no complaints there. There isn't anything wrong with how any of the food tastes but the prices of it and how much food you get doesn't justify both the wait and the flavor. Do yourself a favor and take 10 min to drive over to convoy from here and get some Korean food that will give you larger portions, a better taste and will most likely even be cheaper. read more

Bibimboom was much more crowded than I thought it would be! The restaurant was packed when we got there. We put our name on the waitlist, and luckily only had to wait about 30 minutes. The standout dish for me was the salt scallion pork. It came out in a stone bowl that kept it perfectly hot the entire time, and the sauce really tied everything together. The crispy rice remained crispy in the stone bowl during my whole meal. We also tried the kimchi pancake. The flavor was good, but I do wish the texture was a bit crispier. The LA Galbi comes with a side of purple rice, and it sits on a sizzling plate with onions. Some of the galbi unfortunately came out burned, which was a bit disappointing. Also, I wish the onions that it came with were more caramelized. I appreciated the complimentary barley tea. The side dishes were quickly refilled. My favorite one was the kimchi, but I feel like the spinach and bean sprouts could have been seasoned a bit more. There were only two waiters for the whole restaurant, but they did a good job balancing everything despite how busy it was. Overall, this is a solid spot if you're craving Korean food. read more

Bibimboom has stone, clay, and iron pot dishes. We came on a weeknight for dinner as we were craving delicious savory Korean food and were shocked at how long the line and waitlist was at 7:30 pm! Thankfully we were able to get seats indoors to sit and the wait ended up being about 30 minutes which was faster than the one hour we were expecting. Our servers were friendly and we were served cold barley tea and side dishes soon after we sat. I really like the menu at this restaurant. It is one sided and has all the available dishes laid out clearly with the type of pot. We ordered the salt and scallion pork stone pot, the Galbi and the kimchi pancake. The salt and scallion stone pot was the easy dish of the day. The rice had the perfect texture: crispy without being burned and soft on the inside. This dish was bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, my galbi had some very burnt pieces which was disappointing for a $30 dish. Overall our servers were all very friendly and refilled our side dishes and got us everything we needed but they seemed a little overworked for the volume of hungry diners coming in and out. I would come back for the delicious salt and scallion stone pot! read more

Paid by card and ordered to go on a weekend for lunch. It's located in a plaza and offers plaza parking. The decor is nice and it looks comfortable to dine in. The staff was friendly and I didn't have issues ordering. I was a little disappointed with the small menu, but I ordered the kalbi. When I ate it at home it was soooo salty and the meat was very fatty. It was hard to eat by itself. I'm not sure if I would go back and try other items since I think it's overpriced for what you get. read more

We stopped by a bit later in the evening but Shelly and Jaden were great and very helpful. Loved the banchan especially the kimchi. We ordered the bibimbap, garlic pork scallion, bulgogi, and kimchi pancake. Definitely generous and large portions for the bowls. They also give complimentary corn tea. I would come back again to try the spicy chicken and galbi next time. read more

Bibimboom - Mochi Red bean - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

Still some growing pains here with service but the food is good so Bibimboom gets a gentler rating since they've only been open for three months. Decor is pleasantly modern Korean without being too sterile. Fiancee and I arrived for early dinner on a Friday, and only one person was working the floor even though it was 2/3 full already. We got the bibimbap and LA galbi. I enjoyed the barley flavored water and banchan provided at the start of the meal. Unfortunately, the galbi arrived so far ahead of the bibimbap that we almost finished it before the other dish arrived which was not ideal. The galbi itself was well cooked and flavorful, and I enjoyed mixing the leftover base onions in with the bibimbap. The bibimbap was hearty, and I liked scraping the crisper rice bits off the sides of the bowl and dipping in the gochujang, which tied the many elements in this dish together as it should. read more

Deliciously prepared Korean comfort food. Their stone pots, bulgolgi, and galbi are key staples and always a hit (especially the salt scallion pork bowl). Beef crepes are unique and satisfying either as an appetizer or main course. Dining room is well designed and warm, surrounding patrons in pine and uplighting. Service is excellent, with Jaden and Shelly being particularly attentive. Fantastic addition to Mira Mesa Blvd! read more

Really enjoyed this place! The bibimbap was delicious! fresh ingredients, great flavor, and generous portions. Their Yuk Jeon was amazing! Definitely don't skip that, it's a winner! It was pretty busy and crowded when we went, probably because of the rush hour dinner crowd, so there was a bit of a wait. But honestly, the food and service made it worth it. Staff was friendly and attentive even with how packed it was. Would definitely come back read more

I love a good hot stone pot so I was looking forward to trying this spot! Came for a Mother's Day lunch and luckily we were seated right away, a line formed as we ate. We got the bibimbap and salt & scallion pork. The bibimbap had a lot of fresh veggies but I would've liked more beef and I thought the seasoning was more bland. They provided gochujang and seaweed on the side. The salt & scallion pork had more flavor but was more fatty. Service was friendly but slower since they're busy. read more

Came on a Sunday lunch for Mother's Day around noon. Parking was easy and there was no wait but they were quite busy. There were multiple parties waiting when we finished. Service was friendly but pretty slow and it was hard to get their attention as they were busy. The salt & scallion pork hot stone rice was flavorful but pretty fatty and came with soy sauce on the side. No vegetables but eating it with the banchan was good. The bibimbap hot stone rice came with lots of fresh veggies but not much beef and it was more bland. They did provide gochujang and seaweed on the side and offered to bring soy sauce too. read more

Bibimboom - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

A Chinese hot pot restaurant formerly occupied this suite in the Mesa Shopping Center of Mira Mesa. It was recently turned into a Korean comfort food eatery, Bibimboom. I believe the owners are the same as that of Steamy Piggy which has built quite a diverse portfolio of Asian establishments across the county. The business is still in a soft opening phase. Parking in the plaza lot was fairly easy despite the multiple tenants across the two-level structure. The inside had enough tables and booths for around 50 diners. I was surprised to encounter a waitlist when I showed up during their final hour of operation on a weeknight. I noticed only two workers in the dining area, and multiple tables had not been bussed yet. They sorely needed another set of hands to assist with clearing tables and/or seating customers. The current menu sheet featured four entrees cooked in stone pots, two soups boiled in clay pots, and three items sizzled on cast iron plates. A trio of appetizers and one dessert rounded out the food offerings. I chose the Bibimbap which was the first of the stone pots. While I waited for that to be prepared, two banchan dishes (kimchi, pickled cucumbers) were brought to my table. Within 15 minutes, a very hot stone pot containing white rice as a base was delivered by a worker. The other contents were marinated beef, carrots, greens, mushrooms, bean sprouts, cucumbers, and an egg yolk. I mixed the ingredients together and discovered that some of the rice was crispy from being burnt by the stone surface. A side of gochujang sauce was provided to add more flavor. The amount of beef could have been more generous for the price of $21.50. While my food was okay, the main issue as noted by others was the service level. They need to staff appropriately in order to handle a full dining room. It should not have taken half an hour for me to get a seat when there were unoccupied tables that weren't turned over yet. Until this aspect is improved, I limited my rating of Bibimboom to three stars. read more

Service: the waiters were nice and welcoming. There seems to be only couple waiters for the whole restaurant so it's understandable that it takes a bit to wave the waiter down The vibes: The restaurant is fairly new and aesthetically pleasing, very Instagramable, The food: I had high expectations as this is a new restaurant and first impression matters. The galbi was overpriced, small portion for the price of $30, and uneven sear. The kimchi pancake was crispy on the edges, flavor was great but soggy in the middle, honestly looked like a cheese pizza when the waiter brought it out. The beef bone soup? Portion was considered a side rather than an entrée... The bibimbap was nothing too special as there was way to much rice, not enough sauce as they give u such a small amount on the side and overall could be better seasoned. I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try but sad to say it doesn't meet my expectations. read more

Just finished our lunch here. Came in around 11:45 to 12, the place was 80% full but there was only one waiter, there's another guy there who doesn't do much except for wiping cups in the back counter and tending the cash register. So be prepared to spend more time and if you are in a rush, skip this place. We ordered the bibimbap and beef broth soup. Both took over half an hour to arrive. The rice on the bibimbap was burnt, I mean really burnt, it was black, not scorched. The beef broth was bland, there were a few pieces of beef and they tasted old. Best part was the side dishes. Most Korean restaurants don't offer generous portions of banchan like this place. Once again it took a while to check out. But I don't blame the young dude, he's the only person there who's doing pretty much everything. The place is new and clean since it's been renovated from an old dated restaurant. The wait didn't bother us. But the food wasn't good enough for us to return. The menu didn't offer much either. So we will probably skip. read more

Came here with the family after a hike. So we were famished. We were greeted by Jaden and Shelly. - Bulgogi was great. Super soft and perfectly seasoned. - Mushroom cloud stone pot was very mushroomy. But a bit under seasoned compared to other dishes. So was a bit underwhelming. - Salt and scallion pork stone pot was delicious. Well seasoned port belly w super crispy rice - Banchan spinach and bean sprouts were delicious. Kim chi was on point.

This relatively new Korean spot caught my eye, so I came here with friends to try it out. Located in Mira Mesa, it has easy parking right at the entrance. We waited about 30 minutes during dinner time--oddly enough there were empty seats but they didn't seat us right away. There were 6 of us and we ordered 6 dishes. Overall it's just average, pretty similar to other typical Korean restaurants. But their beef pancake is amazing--made with pure beef, freshly pan-fried to order, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside with no dry texture. Definitely worth a try. The menu is available in English, Chinese and Korean, super convenient. read more

Bibimboom is part of the same wonderful local scene as places like Yun, Viet Nom, and Formoosa, making it a fantastic addition to the Mira Mesa area. The portion sizes are perfect for sharing or satisfying if you're really hungry. Food wise, try the dak galbi and pork stone pot! There's plenty of parking, and I appreciate that they stay open later than some of the neighboring businesses. Amy provided us with excellent service, ensuring we had everything we needed. When they noticed our initial dak galbi was burnt, the staff promptly had the kitchen make a fresh batch, which was a huge improvement. Seating is booth and table style. Food wise, the bingsu was good with the matcha. The chicken in the dak galbi wasn't as prominent as the salt and scallion pork in relation to the rice, but it was still full of flavor, and we loved the tteokbokki and fresh onions that were included! read more

I came across Bibimboom in Mira Mesa while browsing Yelp for a new dinner spot and was excited to see another Korean restaurant opening in the area. Mira Mesa could definitely use more Korean options, so this was a welcome addition. The restaurant is located in a small plaza with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Inside, the space has a clean, minimalist aesthetic that feels modern yet cozy. The staff was attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. The menu is currently on the smaller side, but I'm hopeful they'll expand it over time. We ordered the LA Galbi, Bibimbap, and Beef Bone Soup. The LA Galbi was flavorful, though leaner than most I've had in the past. The Bibimbap was solid and standard. The biggest letdown for me was the beef bone soup. I understand that this style of soup is meant to be clean and light, but it felt like it lacked the richness and depth I was expecting. Overall, I'd be open to giving Bibimboom another try. It has a lot of potential, and with some refinement and possibly a broader menu, I think it could become a great neighborhood spot. read more

My IG algorithm got me again with showing me this restaurant! My girlfriend & I came for lunch. Not too busy, just one unhappy, but friendly server. Simple menu. Salt & Scallion Pork: Stone. The server recommended this dish but it was a definite miss. Each piece is incredibly fatty, either too chewy or very tough. & not flavorful at all! Bulgogi: Iron. Good thing we ordered a second dish to share. We killed this, sweet & tender meat. The restaurant is minimalistic & modern. Located in the same shopping center as Wells Fargo & Dunkin Donuts. read more
