    Japchae and Chicken
    Farhana M.

    There's a few items marked gluten free, including the vegetable japchae and the vegetable tofu soup. The tofu soup comes with sides and it's unclear if these are gluten free. There's fish cakes in one of them which makes me believe its not, so next time I have to tell them gluten free sides. The tofu soup also comes with rice

    Shrimp Do si Rack Bento Box
    Susan N.

    I went here after work and ordered for pick up. There's a few tables inside, but there's a lot of tables available outside as well. Shrimp Do Si Rack Bento Box(4/5): I enjoyed most of the items that were in the bento box except the kimchi. I prefer fermented more compared to fresh kimchi because of how much flavor the fermented one brings out. The japchae was delicious with a hint of sesame oil. The cucumbers were slightly pickled, but still had some freshness to it. The pot stickers were juicy and delicious and reminds me of a popular korean brand. The rice was nice and fluffy and the shrimp was full of flavor! The shrimp is stir fried in a sweet, spicy sauce and the vegetables were cooked nicely! This was a very filling meal and I think the price is worth it as well! It also comes with miso soup which was delicious too, but I wish there was tofu in it. Overall, I would come here again to try their other items!

    I can't believe they added a Bibimbowl at this location. I used to go to the Sunnyvale location a few years ago but it was a drive and they're only open certain days/time so it was difficult to go sometimes when they are open. Finally was able to eat at Bibimbowl during lunch and it was just as good. During lunch, it might be difficult to sit and eat instead of grabbing to go but i highly recommend getting the Hot Stone when dining in. It keeps my food hot and I love burnt/crispy rice!! Hot Stone - I selected white rice, beef, teriyaki. Comes with veggies and a fried egg. Tofu Soup (Soon Tofu) - always a must order when coming here. Favorite two. I know it's pretty much only for lunch but sometimes I crave it around dinner time.

    Me and my sister was Hopi g to grab some kind of hand rolls from this other place on the same plaza, but we later found out that it was closed. So, we turned around and saw this place here and said why not? Service: The service is fairly quick so not much of a waiting period. They were really nice and of course the menu is located digitally and paper menus. They also have a sign outside their door to look at their menu as well. Food: We looked over the menu and what they had to offer. Of course they had the bibimbap, tofu stew, dorisak (bento box), tacos and a few more other stuff as well. What we ordered was the dorisak. It came with chicken (choose your meat), japjae, rice or salad, kimchi, cucumber salad, and mandu . You can add a side of miso soup if you want, but this was already a lot of food to eat. It was delicious! We enjoyed everything in the bento box. Ambiance: We didn't really sit down and eat inside. We ate outside with tables with umbrellas. So can't really say much. They do have seatings inside too. Would we come back? Yes! The japjae is pretty good and it made me enjoy eating rice.

    Bulgogi Do si Rack Bento Box

    Tried out this place for their bulgogi box, food was alright. It was a good portion for lunch meal. There is plenty of parking in the area and enough seating. Service was friendly and welcoming.

    My coworkers and I had lunch here. It was pretty good. I ordered the tofu combination bowl. it was pretty good. I've had better for a cheaper price. But then again, prices have gone up. It did have a good amount of spice that I requested. I ordered the mild and it still had that nice little kick. it came with a portion of the glass noodle and also pickled vegetables. It did relieve my craving for hot food on a freezing day. The service was quick, the quality was pretty good. And the price was somewhat expected. Will I return again? Most likely. Price: $$ Quality: A Service: A

    Spicy pork box 5/5 must try
    Chandrika B.

    Stumbled upon this new outlet of this korean chain of restaurants after my optician appointment. It has ample parking and a lot of outdoor seating which is perfect! The staff is super friendly and the meats and noodles were being prepared fresh - right in front of my eyes - so i totally appreciate the effort here. Yummy bowls and boxes to go with sturdy cutlery and packaging. In $33 including tax, we got : - fresh bowl with chicken white rice spicy and u can add miso soup in this combo with just +$1 - i would rare this 4/5 as chicken was slightly more dry when i compare it to the pork - spicy pork box oh so yummmy - 5/5 comes with cucumbers khimchi rice veg glass noodles and 2 chicken pot stickers - an additional side of chicken potstickers $3.50 for 4 pc Loved the food and totally coming back for more!!

    Perfect lunch spot for a quick bite. It's on the pricier side but I love the portions, the fast service, and the side dishes. I ordered the tofu stew combo and it came with a rice, egg, sides of japchae, cucumber and kimchi.

    Front ordering

    I was at my chiropractor's office and Bibimbowl was next door. I was going to get a salad but I couldn't pass up trying this new Korean food spot. I don't usually come around here so best to try it now :D It's a small little restaurant in the corner next to Hobee's. The menu is decent sized and it's easy to order from the menu while waiting in line. I ordered the classic bowl galbi since the hot stone is dine in only which they are not open to the public for. I decided to splurge on the galbi with the mild Citron Soy. The Citron Soy sauce is mildly spicy. Topping off with the fried egg. That's always a must with bibimbap. The galbi was super delicious. My mouth watering for the next bites. They give a good meat portion but the rest were small portions. I hardly noticed the rice. The veggies were fresh and tasty. From a scale of 1-10 on taste, it's a 10. For portion size, it's a 7. If you want to enjoy a great bibimbap, then this place is for it.

    Combo tofu soup
    Casidy C.

    What a find!! The food here is so good, and very reasonable prices compared to most places these days. We ordered the combo tofu soup and the dosirak with shrimp. All flavors were on point, and the food was chock full of veggies and protein so the food felt healthy and nutritious. The seafood in the combo tofu soup was fresh and yummy. There's a small dining room indoors, and food came out decently fast after we ordered. They were pretty busy around 12 for lunch, but by 1 pm it had calmed down and was pretty quiet. Easy parking, and there's a restroom around the corner that looks like it's shared between several businesses. Will definitely be back again if I'm in the area!

    Bibimbap (@gwenlloves)
    Ying Xin F.

    Low key Korean food/ bento place in the corner of a quiet plaza. Even though the bibimbap looks small, it was actually filling for me because of the amount of rice and good amount of veggies and spicy pork, plus it is relatively affordable at $13. I also loved that the egg was still runny, even though I had it to-go! I'd definitely be back to try their bentos next time!

I met up with my non-vegan best friend, and we both loved our meals. We shared two vegan appetizers and each got our own entree. I appreciate that they have a separate vegan menu with lots of options to choose from. Here's what we ordered: Mango Mojito, Vegan Thai Tea, Roti Curry, Vegan Crispy Eggplant Strips, Vegan Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup, and Premium BBQ Combo. The presentation of our dishes was on point, and the portions were generous. Everything I tried was super flavorful and delicious. The curry sauce for the roti was incredible, and the breading on the crispy eggplant was really flavorful and tasty, though I was a bit surprised by the ketchup on top. Next time, I'd ask for the ketchup on the side. The laksa noodle soup broth had an amazing depth of flavor. I didn't try the mango mojito or BBQ combo, but my friend said she absolutely loved them! Highly recommend checking this place out; we're definitely going back to try more things!

    The food is great, and the place looks like an instagram layout, but the service is non existent…read more I came for lunch with some friends and it was empty when we got there, but quickly filled up. We were directed to our table, and shown the QR code for the menu - twice. There was a bottle of water on the table. We ordered and the food came out one at a time with large gaps of time between each entree's appearance. Other people have noted this. It's weird that this is the norm to expect people not to eat at the same time. We were there for more than an hour and were not checked on once. After the hour mark, another bottle of water came but she left so quickly I didn't have a chance to ask for a box or our check. I had to flag another server down twice for that because she was corralled by on another table before reaching us the first time. We were there for almost 2 hours by the end. I still don't know if the food is good enough to put up with that. I got the tofu massaman curry and it was delicious. My friends got pho and crab fried rice and both seemed to really enjoy it.
