    The food at Bibio is satisfying and filling. I absolutely love Korean food, so I was down to have some fast casual for lunch. It's Chipotle-style, so you can do a bowl, get protein, and add toppings and sauces. I got the brown rice bowl with beef and spicy Korean BBQ sauce, with all the toppings. One piece of feedback I had was that the kimchi was lacking the strong flavor it normally does. Otherwise, it's pretty solid if you want quick and healthy. The service was fine. The tables were sticky and the bathroom was grimy so it just seemed like the place needed a deep clean.

    Stopped in for lunch on a recent business trip through the area, this is good a Korean BBQ place. Walk up counter service that is courteous and professional, place your order and the server will prepare it for you as you move through the service line. Even adding a fried egg only takes a moment, your bowl is presented to you when yourorder is ready. Pay and grab a seat. After viewing the overhead board I opted for the classic BYOBowl this is pretty much you build it the way you like with choices of rices, greens, spices, meats and sauces. I went for brown rice with a spicy chicken, kimchi, beautiful mixed greens shredded cabbage and sauce with an over medium fried egg on top. It was very good and filling with just enough heat to let you know you'd been there. This small eatery is very industrial and minimalist on the inside, with a small amount of seated space to eat, a lot of the orders are take it to go. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the authentic Kimchi 00869

    Food was really bad. Noticeably dirty restaurant. Meat was cold. The zucchini tasted odd. I was afraid to eat the rest of my food for fear of getting food poisoning. The service needs improvement. Not customer service friendly.

    Cute little build your own Bibio bowls! Quick service and delicious food. Beef Bulgogi, kimchi and japchae, my favorite!!

    This place is absolutely delicious! I have not dined in, but what I usually do if I'm in the area is a stop in and order some Korean bowls to go. Every time I have stopped in the restaurant is clean and welcoming. Recently, I discovered they are available on GrubHub! My family and I have started ordering from here once a week. The food is so delicious that even my seven year old son loves it. I love how customizable the Korean bowl is and you can add as much or as little as you want to it. This is what I usually order: Korean bowl with: Salad & rice base Spicy pork Chicken Bulgogi Pickled Carrots & radish Bean sprout salad Sautéed onion & pepper Red cabbage Kimchi Spicy Cucumber Sesame seeds My seven year old will get a kids bowl with chicken Bulgogi and rice. Every time we order from here he gets excited as he absolutely loves it! I highly recommend you check it out

    It's hard for me to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to dining out, this is not a place I would normally go to, but I was in the area and felt like trying something different. I have to say I was very pleased with the food, it was excellent! I had a Beef Bulgogi bowl and tried the Beef Bulgogi fries. Both were delicious! As for the star review, I would give the food a 4.5 out of 5 and the restaurant a 2.5 out of 5. My issue; it was filthy. The owners need to make sure this place is continually cleaned throughout the day, and probably a deep clean weekly. Aesthetically it's unpleasing and that atmosphere can actually ruin an appetite. If this is how it looks outward facing, I can only imagine how the back area and food storage areas look. Sticky tables and floors, trash on the ground, grime on the baseboards, and stains everywhere. I would still probably go back, maybe it was an off day. But if it didn't get any better, not likely.

    The food is pretty good, especially the mandu pork dumplings. Unfortunately, the service and level of cleanliness is pretty poor. There was only employee working during the dinner rush, and he was running between food and money without gloves. We saw him cough into his hand and then touch the cups Because he was alone the service was also incredibly slow.

    Well.. I was driving by so I thought I give it a try. Well.. It wasn't bad idea is not bad but they got some of the cooking order backward.. So i ordered the hotpot version of the bibimbop.. So you pick your order of stuff to put on including the veggies stuff. But then they cook/heat up the hot pot with all your stuff in it. The vegetables side dishes stuff is not suppose to be piping hot, rice meat and veggies goes on top.. I don't care for my cucumber salad to be piping hot. . The taste was not bad. Not the worst not the best. The meat portions are precooked and sitting there in a big pot.. They did not look appetizing.. I know it's suppose to be kind of fast but not appealing. Staff was friendly didn't care for the sticky table even though it was wiped off. So I don't think I would go again.. For the price I paid I could go to a Korean restaurant and have better quality food. Not to mention kochujang/Korean chilly sauce was weak... Not even spicy.

My go-to dishes are the Yook Gae Jang (육개장) and the Dol Pan Bibim Bap (돌판비빔밥). We also love ordering the Eun Daegu Jorim (은대구조림). Unfortunately, they no longer allow call-ahead orders for that dish because too many people would place orders and never show up. I do wish they would consider taking payment over the phone since it takes quite a while to prepare. The restaurant gets very busy during both lunch and dinner hours, so patience is key. The staff is often short-handed, but they work hard and are constantly moving to take care of everyone as best they can. Despite the wait at times, the food is consistently delicious and keeps us coming back.

They are a bit busy so we had to flag them to come over. We split the army stew. This had sausage, spam, rice cakes, ramen, and kimchi, I believe. Everything was very flavorful and went well with the rice. It's also a pretty big portion for two people and I want to say it was around the ballpark of $30. We got the complimentary banchan (side dishes), which was nice. Our favorite side dishes were the braised potatoes and the spinach. I don't love candied sweet potatoes or potatoes for that fact but these were so soft and tender. There is plenty of parking in the area, which is quite nice. I'll be back here the next time I am in the area.

My friends and I came to this place together because I had been before and liked the Korean food here. Food was legit and was a good experience previously. However, the day we came in, the waitress got my friend's order wrong as my friend wanted the bibimbap but the waitress heard something else and brought out a soup. When my friend immediately told her that isnt what she ordered, the waitress (new) proceeded to argue with my friend. I watched incredulously as things started to unfold. The waitress even asked my friend to pronounce bimbimpap again and told her she should learn how to pronounce it better. She kept arguing wirh my friend and mind you, waitess wasnt Korean or Korean American. At this point, I had to step in, as I also heard my friend say bibimbap clearly. The waitress didnt know what she was talking about and at the same time was being rude as heck to my friend. Then, my other friend shows up and orders a bibimpap. When the bibimpap is brought out, I asked her to bring some gochujang for my friend. I didnt know if my friend would like this chili paste, so wanted her to have the option to try it. The waitress again decided to argue about this and at this point, she was really testing my nerve. She said bibimpap doesn't come with gochujang and I am like thinking are you crazy, woman? I am not Korean but I have been eating Korean food for 30+ years, I know what I am talking about. She then asked me to repeat gochujang several times and I was very annoyed at this point. Its like, look lady, you dont know what youre talking about, stop sticking your foot in your mouth and come on, be nice to your customers! Because of this terrible behavior, I asked to speak to a manager, a woman came over and listened to what happened and apologized and thats how we found out she was new. I was beyond frustrated at this point. Despite the horrible service, I still left a 10% tip, but honestly the waitress deserves zilch and needed more training. The food is solid here but I wont be returning with that kind of behavior, I can choose where my money goes, and these days with it being so hard to get by, good luck to this place as I am not coming back.

We came on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't busy when we arrived. We got seated within the 10 minutes since they were setting up the tables for us. Ordering is fairly easy since they offer combos depending which meats you like more. Everything we ordered was good quality. My favorite meat cuts were the beef tongue, brisket and the intestines. If you're not into eating inside parts of animals, I would recommend getting the brisket or kalbi cuts. The Banchan (sides) were good too. They had fish cake, kimchi, pickled radish and cucumbers available. We also tried the tofu soup, steamed egg and corn cheese which all came out hot and tasted flavorful. This spot is a-la-carte, so you order off the menu and pay by items. My only downside is that they didn't have rice paper here since I don't really eat the white rice since it fills me up too quickly. Other than that, I would come back here again next time I'm visiting family. Service here was awesome too! We were checked on throughout our whole meal and the servers were friendly.

That said, my partner and I got the XL Beef Combo 1 and ended up having to take home a third of it. Meat quality is great, and portions are good. They have the best cucumber kimchi I've ever had, and fantastic kimchi soup that's not too spicy. The beef belly and bulgogi were our favorite meats. Many of their options like the green salad, bulgogi, marinated ribs, and vegetables were not nearly as sweet as I often find them in other KBBQ joints, which was a great change. The service is great. I didn't feel waited on, I felt like I was just generally seen. There's a doorbell if you need something quickly. Otherwise all staff were super friendly and anticipated our needs with grill changes which was nice. The atmosphere is great. It's small and casual but very comfortable and upscale at the same time. It feels very relaxed while maintaining a high standard. The music is great (for us), all kinds of EDM at a good volume. And no TVs, which is actually nice - it let us focus on the vibes, the food, and each other. Many other parties were laughing and having a good time. We spent about 130 between the two of us, having ordered an XL combo and an extra side (chicken buldak - I couldn't eat the noodles but the chicken was bomb). It was a great way to spend a Friday night. We plan to make this a regular spot in our rotation - we still have a lot of sides and meats to try. Well done, please keep it up. Would recommend.
