    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!

    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.

    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.

    Any gluten free options here?

    The food is good the service is decent, but it's not as classy or luxury as I expected. Maybe I…read morewent in with high expectations, but the parking already confused me. I blame Google map not the restaurant. Most of the customers ordered pho the evening we were there, but I thought I should try something different, so we had Garlic Butter Wings (really juicy and very buttery); calamari (nice portion, but very greasy) Thai basil mango shrimp salad (my favorite dish of the evening, but it's a small portion and cost $20! ) AP Choe is crispy flat noodle, but againA, the price and the quantity/ quantity, none of them wow me. With 4 dishes plus tips, I spend more than $100!! How?!

    5 stars, 10 if I could. This is a must try restaurant, everything was superb and first class…read more Walking distance from the Marriot hotel. I hope that more people discover this fine restaurant. The restaurant is classy in all details. Interior, dinnerware, service. All food is carefully crafted and delights the taste buds. Well balanced. We first tried this place when it was very young and I hoped that more would discover it. So glad that many have. It is one of the finer restaurants on the Wasatch Front, not just one of the finer Asian restaurants. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Friday night feed! April 10th 7:30pm…read more Was looking for a restaurant to take CUZZY out for her late bday dinner. She wanted Korean and she hasn't had much Korean BBQ. It was only the 2 of us and thank God we drove by this place! Pulled in during a busY time but there was a wait that was only 5mins. I've been to quite a few Korean places and this one stands out with their side dishes were fresh. Yes I've had some that were not so fresh where it seem like I was eating side dishes that sat out at another table and recycled on our table. Their yellow kimchi radish and their cucumber kimchi was yummish! Wanted to ask for more to take home kuz I'ma fatty like that!!! The host with long hair to his shoulder was great because we had complications with the app due to my phone not their system. They were wonderful on making sure we had extra help to get our Korean BBQ dinner a success. Meat was good and I'm all about the flavor but I didn't want too much because the meat, veggies, salad was that good on its own. We were offered to get more sauce by another waiter and I was full by the time I thought to get more sauce. Meat is fresh I can't express that enough and so is the place clean with respectful waiters who didn't let our table go up in smokes. Love this all you can eat $35.00 for the night and I am looking forward to going back especially for their yellow radish kimchi. Thank you for your wonderful food. We loved it.
