The place is clean and functional. Located in a strip mall, ambiance is not in the picture. But I think this is a place worth visiting. The staff are really sweet and helpful. They are really cheerful and professional. They can discuss the menu and get the order in correctly. It's a basic menu. It consists of a few bowls, with the requisite Korean sauces. Rice, some seasoned Ning and sauce, with some mushrooms, maybe an egg and some veggies. Prices depend on the meat and size. The food is solid. Everything is well seasoned and cooked. I enjoyed the experience. read more

Love bibimbox!! The beef bulgogi bowl is my fave with an extra fried egg! I don't get to go often because it's in Harbison but the food is delish! The rose tebbokki is one of my faves too! Always get it! They have a Photo Booth on the inside as well as ice cream,matcha you name it! It's such a cool vibe in there. Service is always good and I've never had any problems with my orders. read more

This place is amazing! There are so many options to choose from. I ordered: Service was great, this was my first time here and the employees are so nice on explaining their menu and their favorite dishes. Spicy pork bowl- as is, it was packed with flavor and loaded with veggies. Everything tasted great. I also loved that they offer complimentary miso soup which is such a nice touch. The dessert section looks incredible, they have soft served ice cream and taiyaki which is like a waffle I think and it can be filled with custard, Nutella or red bean! I can't wait to try it next time. They have tons of drink options too, so you really can't go wrong here. There's plenty of parking, and outdoor seating is available when the weather is nice. Highly recommend! read more

We visited this Korean restaurant a few weeks ago, while we were visiting the Harbison shopping area. It's a popular spot for the locals and younger people. After checking out their Google reviews, we decided to stop in for give them a try for lunch. The food was made in a timely manner, they bring your order to your table. Our food was was served hot and the staff was very patient while we deciding what to order. The ice cream service was extremely slow, so keep that in mind if you interested in trying their delicious desserts. read more

The service was fast and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I would definitely eat here again! For the price, the quantity and quality of the food was so good and the different toppings made it possible for everyone to customize their orders especially for people who were also vegetarian! Definitely loved that it had a healthy bowl option and the sweet potato noodles were so delicious! Overall loved the vibes of the place and it felt modern! They also have dessert options! read more

Bibimbox Korean Kitchen & Wings - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Out with moms shopping and what do we have " a new" restaurant lol. It's been here for a while but I didn't have time to stop but today i did. I liked the open concept a lot of light beaming through the dining area with soft music that created a vibe for this Saturday. The guy asked us if we needed recommendations that was helpful but I ended up with the 12 piece (6 yangnum/6 Fire chicken ). When I got my order the flavors were good but the actual chicken was cold so I sent it back. The next batch was very good. Both sauces were excellent ... the fire chicken had just enough kick and flavor combined. the yangnum was a complement for the other wings. Nothing spectacular but def worth giving a try read more

Bibimbox Korean Kitchen & Wings - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Bibimbox is a fast casual Korean spot serving up bowls, Korean fried chicken, hibachi, drinks, taiyaki, and more. The setup is modern and cozy with plenty of cool vibes. You can watch them make drinks and desserts while you wait. Order from their self-serve screens, grab any seat you want, and they'll bring the food out when it's ready. Here's what I tried: The Fresh Bowl - White rice, chicken bulgogi, carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, corn salsa, sesame ginger, yellow radish, OG Bibimbox sauce, black sesame seeds... and it was delicious. Korean Fried Chicken - Crazy crunchy, hot, and sweet. The breading is the star and worth the trip alone. A few fatty pieces, but overall really good. Ube Ice Cream with Taiyaki - Wild color, unique flavor, and the taiyaki itself was amazing. All in all, Bibimbox delivers a fresh, modern spin on Korean comfort food. Come hungry, get the fried chicken, and save room for dessert, you're gonna leave happy. read more

Bibimbox Korean kitchen has been on my radar since opening last year. They have a great selection of boba and a few Korean staples I've come to love. From Korean fried chicken to bibimbap and tteokbokki and the main desserts this place has a nice variety. They even offer hibachi bowls here and have some great dessert options. They have a self ordering kiosk as well as a register if you want human interaction- what I love about the kiosk is you're not holding up the line and can look through the menu. This place was clean and they ordering was efficient with the wait not being too bad either. I went with the bibimbap bowl that came with bulgogi and I loved it, I ordered a mango milk tea with it and added boba ( now the boba was not very good it was hard like it was either undercooked or sitting too long) but everything else I loved. My family all opted for the Korean friend chicken and different drinks an we're all impressed. We had to order some bingsu for dessert which is their version of shave ice and it was magical. All in all if you have not tried Korean food this is a good first introduction, prices are fair and the place is clean with good customer service . read more

Trendy spot! It's really cute inside and seems like a great place to meet friends and hang out. Well organized and service was fast. Let's finally get to the food! It was amazing! I got the spicy pork belly bowl that comes with spinach, mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts. Vegetables were fresh and pork was very tasty. At first I thought the vegetables would have been nice to have some seasoning but after mixing it up with the pork, rice, and aioli I thought they were perfect the way they were. Husband got the bulgogi bowl and it came with same vegetables but different sauce and a fried egg. He thought it was very good as well...I thought mine was better.. We also got the 6 piece fried chicken in the fire chicken flavor and it is spicy....dont get this flavor if you cant handle hot!! I thought it was perfection and very crispy. Husband thinks its the best fried chicken he's had...very tender on the inside. We were also able to customize a bowl for the dog...he got rice, hibachi steak, carrots, and spinach. He loved it as well! Overall...would definitely get again and highly recommend you give this place a try!! read more

We stopped in for something new. I love Korean food and this is a welcome addition to the area. Adding ice cream to the mix is a great idea. They have many options to pick and choose, so that you can create a multitude of flavors combinations. We had to try all of the ice creams and each one was great. The staff is cool and friendly. Best of all, my kids had a great time. read more

I was excited to see Columbia got a new, modern Korean restaurant especially around such a busy area. The inside was very cute and service was very friendly. My food came out fairly quickly after I ordered. I got the spicy pork belly bowl and it came loaded with toppings and sauce. They also offer free miso soup! The bowl wasn't bad, although I'd say overall, it was on the bland side. The pork belly wasn't really spicy and there wasn't much outstanding flavor. I liked all the different veggies, but you definitely need to eat it with sauce. I also got a milk tea with boba and a taiyaki (dessert cafe in the same restaurant). The milk tea was decent, nothing out of the ordinary. However, the taiyaki was too bready and just didn't have the crisp you want from typical taiyaki. None of the food really stood out to me, but I'd still love to come back and try the Korean fried chicken or the tteokboki. Maybe I just got the wrong menu items. They have enough variety where I think it's worth coming to give it a shot! read more

This place is so refreshing. We have gone twice and it's worth every penny! There's 2 options for ordering in the store. You can go to the counter which was our preferred choice. Or you can go to the huge order screens and order. I enjoyed the customer service given when at the counter. Both times the person who waited on us explained the menu to us throughly and made the experience enjoyable. I had the fresh bowl as it was with chicken bulgogi. My wife had the beef bulgogi and created her own bowl. We had an order of the fried chicken wings. We also had a side of kimchi. If you love Korean food without wanted the fancy seat down this is definitely your spot. It has quite a few tables to sit. Our first time we went on a Friday night and it was packed. Our second time we went on a Tuesday and for lunch it was more laid back. They also have specialty drinks and desserts. read more

Fast authentic Korean food. A miss in the rosé ttoekbokki as it seemed like it was scraped from the bottom of the barrel but the bibimbap special was fantastic. Also the dessert ice cream was the bomb! Would come back as a roadtrip stop as fairly quick and yummy read more

Clean, bright space. Convenient location. Tasty food, good portions. Fast & friendly service. They have a dessert station with a sofa seating area. And free miso soup station with every entree purchase. Today had the Ginger Soy Wings (hot and crispy and tasty) as a starter. Original Bibimbox Bowl for entree. Big portions. Comes with a nice spicy sauce on the side that is good in moderation. And pickled daikon. Definitely add that. They also have all kinds of interesting looking desserts, and a cute little sitting area next to the ice cream dessert area but I was too full. Will have to go back.... Also had the grapefruit lemonade which was a bit too sweet for my taste. Perhaps ask for less pumps of syrup for that drink.. Tried this place for the first time at a friend's recommendation and will be back! read more

Food is ordered through kiosks located in the left corner facing the entrance. I went solely for the strawberry matcha soft serve, so I can't speak for the other foods but can vouch that it's creamy, mildly sweet, full of flavor, and delicious! It comes with two free toppings, but I didn't want any. Reminds me of the soft serves I've had in Japan. Better than McFlurry and actually cheaper too! The restaurant was packed on a Sunday afternoon and parking sucked, but service was quick. Restaurant is bright and cherry. Would be a great spot for a date! read more

Bibimbox Korean Kitchen & Wings - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

TLDR: good food and atmosphere Just heard this place opened yesterday so I gave it a whirl. Thought it would've been smaller but was surprised how big the space was. Pretty straight forward menu if you're not familiar with Korean dishes. Ordered fire chicken wings and fried chicken bowl and took about 15 mins to arrive. Fire chicken was that sticky sauce you're familiar with Korean style wings but after 2-3 wings was actually feeling the heat. Then onto the chicken bowl that gave me cava vibes: Fresh veggies, plump chicken with crispy fried breading over fluffy rice. There was a bit of kimchi on there too and it's an acquired taste, one I haven't acquired yet but I did taste a bit to say I did. I don't know how but I saved some room for dessert and the lady at the counter definitely educated me on the different soft serve combination so I went with a mango vanilla swirl with the custard fish pastry ( they told me what it was I forgot ) and this was the only thing that fell flat. Pastry fish was warm and soft but still had that crisp outer shell to it but the soft serve had a not sweet but trying to be I just couldn't get jiggy with so I only had a couple of bites after the pastry fish was gone. Overall good food, atmosphere and experience that I'll be looking to have again soon. read more

Went to the soft opening and loved everything we had! My fav were the wines and tetboki! The food came out hot and delicious, everything was very flavorful. Chicken wings were fried crispy and glazed with sauce. Service was quick i believe we waited less than 10 min for our food. And the location is perfect with a nice patio to chill and eat. read more

Finally made it to bimbibox! The restaurant has a nice open seating concept. There's a dessert station I can get soft served or taiyaki, you can place your order on the ordering kiosk or you can place it with an employee at the counter. Customer service is a 10 out of 10 everyone is attentive and willing to help you understand the menu. They also have complementary miso soup which was delicious. The soy garlic wings are absolutely phenomenal. They had a nice crunch and a nice sweet umami flavor. I also got a rose lemonade, which was delicious. We also got a kids build your own bowl and it did not disappoint and we got the rose rice noodle dish and the sauce on that is a 10 out of 10. We also took advantage of the cute photo booth. This was an amazing experience and we will be back. read more

Do you enjoy Korean food? Well if that's a yes, then you'll definitely enjoy Bibimbox's take at Korean fusion of many of the culture's dishes, such as the bibimbap and tteokbokki. The owners are of the successful local KBBQ chain called Kpot, so they have a lot of experience with Korean cuisine. They created the menu from scratch, incorporating a unique twist to the traditional dishes like bibimbap, which turned out really good. Their menu is diverse as you have entrees from bibimbap and the option to build your own, choices of Korean fried chicken, appetizer options like dumplings or tteokbokki and dessert options like the traditional bingsu (shaved ice) or teas. For my first visit, I ordered a custom bibimbap. I got the hibachi chicken which uses breast meat, so it was very tender with sides of greens and the bibimbox sauce. I also got the vegetable and pork dumplings with tteokbokki, both which were fantastic. Cant forget dessert! Though they had various flavor options, the traditional flavor comes with red bean, so I went with that. The cups are fairly small, great for single portions rather than sharing a large bowl like some places serve bingsu. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants to dine or take out at. The food isn't expensive at all and the quality you get for the price can't be beat. As I said if you enjoy Korean food or places like KPOT, you'll definitely enjoy this place. Plenty of parking, fantastic customer service from staff, and ample amounts of seating where the ambiance isn't too noisy; perfect to relax, converse, and have a meal. read more

My friend and I were very excited about this new Korean place but it was mediocre at best. Bibimbap wasn't authentic and wings were so so. It was extra disappointing because it was far away! Maybe it's catered for American taste but they could do better! My tea tasted like watered milk with very subtle hint of jasmine. Not going back again. read more

As soon as we walked in the door, the energy was great, especially on a busy Friday night. The food was amazing, the service, music.

Quality of the ingredients might be slipping a little here. The shiitakes were extra chewy in my bi bim bap. Like the chef had cooked them the night before and reheated them in the microwave before serving. Chef! We don't mind waiting for the freshest dishes! Slow down and get back to your fundamentals. They were excellent 6mos ago. read more

I came back with my sister to try Kumo Kumo dessert cafe inside Bibimbox. We ordered on the kiosks and tried out the photo booth while we waited. We got a matcha and ube soft serve and the original bingsu. The bingsu is absolutely delicious - perfectly icy and sweet with mochi pieces, crispy rice puffs, and fresh strawberries. The soft serve is on the milkier and creamier side which I'm not a fan of but the flavor is good. read more

Modern, clean colors and restaurant design. For the soft launch, menu is unique, not too many menu items. Chicken wings are just ok - Banchan or 99Kitchen is better. The bibimbox pork belly bowl was flavorful and ingredients tasted fresh. The pork belly was sliced thinly like bacon, which i really liked. There was a lot of rice in the bowl, red sauce was good too, reminiscent of gochuchang with a noticeable sesame oil overtone. Will definitely go back to try more menu items and especially their desserts. The peach iced drink was good and I liked that I could control how sweet it was. Great to see another Korean cuisine option in our area! My daughter had the rose ttekbokki and said it was very sweet for her taste and she's a kid! read more

The food is super good, we tried a little of everything and loved it!!! They make very good matcha, i got the matcha lemonade with is matcha and sprite and it was really refreshing. The food and drinks came out quickly, and it's sort of cafeteria style so there's a lot of seating. I know I've seen a lot of people say it's very expensive, but I eat across a lot of Asian restaurants and the price was very typical for what I've personally experienced for two people. It may be expensive for some though, and I do recommend checking it out online before you go. Also order your dessert after your main. Everything was super good though and we had leftovers. read more

Good here is good. Menu is small. Some things are better than others. My family loves the spicy wings, say they are the best they have ever had. I get the veggie bowl, it's good, but not to die for. I do love the coffee and soft serve desserts. Not so much the fish pastry- that was a waste. Service is kind. The vibe is order at the counter, eat and clean up your own mess. It's not overly loud and you won't leave smelling like a tepan restaurant. read more
