    First impression, this location is located in a plaza that is difficult to enter if on State Street. The building is rundown and does need a renovation as stated in previous reviews. However, the food was adequate and tasteful. We tried the beef bulgogi k-pop fries, beef bulgogi bowl, and beef bulgogi noodle bowl. For fast Korean food, the food sufficed the taste buds. You order through an iPad. Customer service is at a bare minimum, but it didn't bother us. The gentleman (front counter, cook, and server all in one) doesn't have much to say, but I went for the food more than the customer service of this place. If you want a decent Korean flavored meal and don't care about the rest, then this is your spot.

    I need to preface this by saying that this is the best food I had in the area, without question. The portions were big for the price and absolutely packed with flavor. It's delicious and just the perfect spice level to make the sweet sauce more dynamic. The chicken tenders were a little dry but that complimented the amazing sauce. There's no real interaction with the single employee-- the cook-- but that was part of the charm just like the dated look of the restaurant. I feel like a renovation would make it lose that quirky, hometown feel but I would love to see a mix in soda machine update. That would seal the little diner feeling.

    K-pop Fries

    After hearing great things about Bumblebees, I was excited to finally try it out. I placed an online order for K-Pop fries and it was a super easy process. Upon arrival they were making my fries and I didn't have to wait long at all. I had the spicy pork on my k-pop fries and they were very good! Definitely a nice combination of flavors. They have other menu options that sounded pretty solid but I would probably return for the fries themselves. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant was clean and organized. Nothing fancy but plenty of room to sit and eat there!

    This is my favorite place for sure hands down. The k-pop fries are to die for. The bulgogi is amazing and the service is so nice. They are usually pretty quick but I'm so obsessed I will call and place an order to go for pickup and they always remember me. It's clean and the workers are so nice and helpful. One of my top recommendations.

    Yummy yummy yummy! This place is what comforting Korean food really is. The menu is small and decadent, and everything is absolutely delicious. It's not meant to be a fancy restaurant. Service was quick, and our food came out so so so fresh. This might be the best Spicy Pork I've ever had at a Korean establishment. The chicken tenders were delicious and the honey garlic (!!!!) was so fragrant as a dipping sauce. We will absolutely be returning here.

    Such an incredibly tasty experience at Bumblebee's BBQ & Grill in Midvale. I'm no expert on Korean food, but I am definitely coming back. We tried the K-Pop Fries with bulgogi beef, K-Noodles with spicy pork, and Kor-ispy Puffs (boneless chicken) with honey garlic sauce. All of it so good!

    As others have shared, the place is not dripping with an attractive image, but as they say, sometimes the ugliest front, turns out to be an incredible find. Bumblebees is one of those! In town for meetings with a hankering for something off the beaten path a quick consultation with Yelp gave me the incentive to spin on over to Midvale to experience Bumblebees. I'm so glad that I did. My colleague and I shared an order of their K-Prop Fries. Oh my! To call them 'loaded' is almost an understatement. Get them with beef and you will not be sorry (or leave hungry). For me, I had to dive in for the K-Noodles. Delicious, plenty of variety over those wonderful noodles. You will be impressed. My colleague opted for the Korean Tacos, one chicken, one pork. He reported good, but not the best. Pretty standard fare as I would've encouraged him to be more adventurous. You know, when in Rome and all.... Note, the beverage selection is not expansive; basically soft drinks and water. For this good food a nice bottle of Hite would have made it the perfect meal. As a bonus for trekking over for the good food, you can snap few pics outside the Fear Factory next door. It'll help make the visit even more memorable!

    Chicken Strips
    Nycole R.

    Who knew that K Pop was more than just Korean pop music? I learned recently, that it is more. So much more. My son and I wandered in to Bumblebee's BBQ & Grill, not fully knowing what to expect, but having growling bellies. After a short review of the menu, we saw a few items that looked good, and ordered the chicken strips and a beef bulgogi sandwich. The nice young man at the register made us feel so welcome. He was genuinely friendly and happy that we were there. He's the kind of guy that I would have loved to invite to join us for a meal and a chat. Really, he was that friendly. But I refrained-you know, COVID and the fact that he was, well, working at the moment. Anyway, we sat in the dining area and waited for our food, which was ready in just a few minutes. The ambience is more like a diner than a Korean BBQ joint-super casual, cozy and a bit small. I like it. Our food was very flavorful. My son, who is a picky eater that prefers more traditional food, devoured his chicken. He said it was different than he expected (I guarantee he had breaded chicken strips in mind), but he would have ordered even more. My sandwich was also good, although it had some ingredients that I would probably prefer to leave off. I admit, I'm probably just as picky as the kid. The menu does not go into much detail about what is on the food, but I'm certain the Nice Guy would tell me if I asked. I'll do that next time. Overall, I can see why this place has such a following. We will return and continue to explore the menu.

    Dup-Bop and K-Pop Fries

    My father and I decided to take a fun trip to Salt Lake City for skiing. After a long day of skiing some great food is just what we needed. This was the closest place to our airbnb in Midvale. We decided to try it out and man was it great. The food is tasty and looks appealing. I ordered their signature "K-Pop Fries" (Korean style loaded fries. The food came out super speedy and the man working the counter and kitchen was very pleasant. It has a weirdly vintage type of style with half brick walls. Super fun. The Temp in the building was also just right for a cold Utah night.

    The KPop fries keep me coming back for more! Possibly not the healthiest option, but you're not coming here for your swimsuit goals! Since my dad dubbed me the "French Fry kid" as a child, I still claim some street cred when it comes to french fries. So let me take you in a KPop journey. You'll get a basket full so it's a meal. Yet, you may still crave more after you've devoured them all. The fries are thicker but not as thick as steak fries. They have some skin on which gives them a nice crunch, but they don't stay crunchy with all the toppings. BUT I promise they are not grossly soggy either. They are topped with the Koren house sauce, bulgogi beef (or three other options) and green onions. They are so addictive. I can't even put words to all of the flavors and textures, you just have to try them! Although Bumblebee's is slated as BBQ, it's more of an burger and fries quick service, with a Korean fusion twist restaurant that just works!

This KBBQ spot offers a really good price compared to others AND the meat quality is just as good as the more expensive KBBQ locations. The menu is expansive and filled with delicious options. But what I was most delighted with is that as we kept ordering more food, even by the 5th round, their meat size and quality never hindered. I feel like some KBBQ spots give the less good meat as time goes, but it felt like they gave us even better meat. I also noticed the attention to detail with the servers/bussers as we never had empty dishes on our table for too long, drinks were refilled without asking, and the grill was never able to reach the black char stains as they were quick to replace it.

The meat was fresh, and the portions were perfect. They have beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sides. Our favorites were the thinly sliced beef, the KOU beef, the beef tongue, and their fries. The service was good! Sadly, they do not have the iPad to order from, but our waiter was good and timed it perfectly to put in another order for us. Service is quick, and they are good at clearing the table of plates. I wish that their grill had a cover, though, for cooking, because the grill had some charcoal bits on it before we even started cooking. They do have a vent above the grill to catch the smoke, so that is really nice. And they have a lot of seating. For $34.99 AYCE per person, I think this place is worth it! Can't wait to come back!!
