The food was delicious. We had takeout and got sweet potato noodles with pork and bi bim bop. It was amazing! Highly recommend!

Pick & Mix III in Glastonbury. Are there only three? If so, I've completed the hat trick with our recent visit. I can't even remember how many years ago, my wife and I became fans of the highly customizable Bi-Bim-Bop stir fry bowls at the West Hartford location. You pick your veggies, protein, sauce and rice or noodles, and you eat exactly what you want. My office once temporarily relocated near the Avon location, and that Pick & Mix was one of my main workday lunch spots for a while. Pick & Mix's bowls seem like a pretty healthy way to eat flavorful food. My wife and I decided to order takeout from the Glastonbury Pick & Mix, and to eat at the gazebo at Riverfront Park. I've known that Glastonbury had a Pick & Mix, but I didn't know where it was. Turns out it's in the same plaza as a bunch of other Glastonbury favorites I hadn't located. Zinneken's Belgian Waffles. Whole Deli. Harry's Pizza. El Pollo Guapo. This discovery was like the un-earned ending of a culinary "National Treasure", or even "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets". Looking at the menu, I immediately wanted the spicy pork. It was outstanding. The pork almost seemed shaved and it had a spicy, flavor bomb of a marinade. It was WOW good. The vegetables, especially the tender leafy spinach, were the perfect compliment to the pork. It also had slivers of carrots and onions, and was topped with sesame seeds. I chose glass noodles as the side, and I swirled noodles into the main dish as I created room. Terrific, terrific dish. I also had to try a "Korean Style Hot Dog", when I noticed the sign. Yelp CT Community Manager Alex PT posted crazy cool photos of Korean hot dogs from NYC, and I've been intrigued ever since. Pick & Mix's version was not as elaborate. It looked like a basic corn dog on a stick, but, notwithstanding the name, there is no frankfurter involved. If I understand correctly, it's gooey mozzarella encased in a fried fish cake crust. It was good, but the next one I order will probably be a gourmet NYC one. I continue to be a big Pick & Mix fan. And Three is the closest to me. Five Stars read more

The employee was so rude... Online it shows they have the Korean corn dog. My nephew and I drove 45 minutes to get that and that alone. Since they did not have the advertised Korean corn dog we got the Tteok-bokki... which on their menu says NOTHING about having kimchi... it was disgusting... So expensive for gross food. Gross food and awful customer service... do better. read more

Despite being extremely busy with online orders, they got me in and out witha call-in order within 15 minutes! I was treated to a nice Beef Bibimbap bowl with pretty much all the vegetables, noodle and rice mixture with a lemon soy sauce. Delicious! They are not light on the sauce as there was a little bit of a broth left in my bowl kinda. Filled with flavor and it was light so I'm not complaining. Everything in my bowl was flavorul, filling and tasty. The lemon soy sauce was delightful. Not too salty or sour, just right and full of flavor! They even gave us a complementary miso soup that was very good!!! How nice! Just as good as the other Pick and Mix restaurants. Everyone is friendly and orders came out quickly. read more

I don't know what these other reviews were on...but this is a hard no. Check out my other reviews, I love to encourage businesses.

I've been four times for the bulgogi. Two of the times its been good but not two of the times has been terrible and way too oily with no flavor. Today was one of those times and I had to toss it. Will not be returning... read more

Not as good as it used to be. The spicy pork was dry. They also didn't have the pickled jalapeños.

My monthly lunch date with the husband led us to their Glastonbury location this past week. As a fan of their West Hartford location, I was so happy that the food and service remain the same. It was a rainy and chilly day-perfect for Bi Bim Bap with chicken and all the vegetables. Not sure if the West Harford location has this but the glastonbury had 2 gluten free sauce options. Served with a bowl of miso soup, it was they perfect portion for lunch. They also deliver so I can also see this as a great option for those days I can't get away for lunch. I am so glad that there is now a location closer to me and know I will be back for their fresh and delicious food. read more

Out of all the Pick & Mix locations in the Hartford area, this Glastonbury one has to be the best. We came here after an intense Soul Cycling session right behind them - so needless to say we were hungry. As with the other locations, you pick the combo of veggies, meat, and starch that will go in your bowl - as well as the sauces. Make sure you order that runny egg on top! As a pro tip, their sizes run big so if you wanted to save even more money, the kid's bowl size was more than enough to satisfy our cravings. They also sell other Korean snacks as well but your main focus here should definitely be the perfectly al dente japchae noodles and fresh, crisp veggies. I definitely plan on stopping by again! read more

Pick & Mix III - Fees for your convenience!! - Korean Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Pick & Mix is a great, quick lunch spot! I went there to grab a customized bibimbap and ended up getting one in the stone bowl. I was nervous that it was take much longer to make but instead it added maybe 5 minutes to the already fast preparation. I got in, ordered the grain, protein, and veggie options I wanted. The woman put it all into a bowl and the went to the back kitchen where the chef threw it all together. It was almost stir-fried in whatever pan they had back there. My meal came out to me quickly in a hot stone bowl, which I enjoyed as the rice crisped up at the bottom. The stone was extremely hot, but the rice didn't crisp up as well as I've seen other bowls. This wasn't a huge issue for me, but something to keep in mind if you want it extra crispy! Topped it with the great gochugang sauce and asked for extra which the woman happy gave me. Great, fast service and really delicious and flavorful food! read more

Pick & Mix III - Beef bibimbap in hot stone bowl with soup in the side! - Korean Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

The food is average, but what brought my rating down was the convenience fee that was charged to order online. I order on line so that my food is ready right when I get there to pick it up. This time, when I got there, my order had not even been started. I asked, and the older woman at the counter went to her tablet and found the order and started working on it then. They were not busy at all. If I am going to pay the convenience fee then I would expect my order to be ready when they said it would be. I could have just walked in there to make my order and I would have waited the same amount of time as I did when preordering, but saved myself the fee. read more

I stopped by here a couple of Thursday's ago by myself for dinner. Whenever I was looking for a Korean restaurant in the area, Pick and Mix came up. It is located in a strip mall and I missed it on my first pass through the parking lot but easily found it on the second. The inside of this restaurant is bright and inviting with white tile floors and more than ample lighting. There were 4 4-tops and 2 2-tops seating wise and then a counter where you ordered your food. They had a chalkboard to explain how to order with each of the steps: 1. Pick a bowl 2. Pick your base 3. Pick you vegetables 4. Pick your protein 5. Fried egg? 6. Pick Your Sauce. It almost felt a little like chipotle when ordering but then they took it all in the back to cook it while I sat down and waited. For dinner on this evening I went with the hot stone bowl (+1.50), brown rice, broccoli, jalepenos, green and red bell peppers, bean sprouts, mushrooms, spicy chicken, fried egg (+1.00) and then the hot paste sauce. Whenever it came out, it was indeed sizzling in the traditional hot stone bowl. It looked fantastic and also very healthy with all of the vegetables. This was very welcome since I had eaten poorly all week up to this point. As for the taste, yeah, it was pretty good, especially with the hot paste sauce. At first I missed the crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl but the longer I let it sit (within reason) the more crispier rice I got. Everything else in the bowl ended up tasting pretty great, even the somewhat dry chicken that was my protein. Still I enjoyed the meal and feel like it could easily become one of my go to places in Hartford due to the healthy factor along with the cost. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While I don't think you could consider this an authentic bimbimbap bowl, I really enjoyed the flavor and convenience of it! read more

I was psyched to see on Yelp that a Pick & Mix location was in Glastonbury. The space is a bit simple, but there is ample seating. I got here an hour before closing on a Tuesday, but I was told by a very friendly (though perhaps a little exasperated) guy that there was only one serving of brown rice left and a bit more of the noodles. They were also out of a few of the better toppings (sprouts and broccoli). Nonetheless, I squeaked out with the last two orders of the night. (The owner even had to turn some people away.) So, if you make it in time, there are plenty of great things to try here. If you can eat there, definitely pay the extra for the hot bowl, as the crispy rice is divine. And go for the extra egg, too! I will say, I was a bit disappointed in the sweet potato noodles, as they had very minimal taste. (I would have preferred the rice, but I was desperate!) But I've had many P&M dishes at this point, and this is the only item I'd suggest skipping. I look forward to many more meals from this new location. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

This place was great had the tteokbokki with cheese and it was delicious. I wish it was slightly more spicy. We also ordered dumplings and kimchi fried rice which was great as well. I'll definitely be going back! read more

We were confused with the menu, but went during lunch and ended up watching others order We got the bowl which is the same as bi bim bop bowl that came with miso soup. We got the sweet potato noodles and #1 sauce which is teriyaki and soy lemon with the Korean beef. Oh my this is so delicious and different and healthy. We said do all the vegetables. Very healthy. We will be back next week!! read more

First time here and I'm in love. To start the honey chips are my new best friend. My bowl was a blend of spinach carrots cabbage and mushrooms. There is so much to pick from but that's what I got . I had the ground beef. The sauces I went on the suggestion of teriyaki and spicy paste. Great combo. I also tried the shrimp dumplings. Also very delicious. I didn't get the miso this time but that's gonna happen cuz I'm going back for more The young lady running around this morning is polite speedy and on top of her game. read more

I got some dinner from this place on a Friday night and was able to order ahead and pick it up. The ordering online process was really easy to choose all the toppings as well as the rice and sauce. Overall it was good, they put a lot of vegetables/meat and not too much rice which I loved. The biggest difference between this and a traditional bibimbap bowl is that they mix everything together for you and it isn't in layers, so I was hoping the sauce was mixed throughout. I just had a bit of it on the top so the bottom rice was a bit bland, but this is easily solved for asking for some on the side next time. Overall good, I'd recommend a visit! read more

Pick & Mix is a favorite when I need to get some nutritional value in my diet, but also want something really appetizing. When I come here with my coworkers we usually take about half of our meal back to the office with us, but the running joke is we all know it'll only be about an hour (or minutes) before one of us cracks open our take out container to finish it up because it's just that tempting! I love to load my hot stone bowl up with veggies (and top with a fried egg when I'm feeling extra ;)). There are a variety of sauce selections, but I find that the sesame oil is a necessity for a hot stone pot to get that extra crispy rice or noodles at the bottom of your bowl. read more

Low stars mostly for customer service. Never got around to writing a review for my visit when it first opened a while ago. My dad wanted to visit here since it was close to his work so we gave it a shot. The concept was really cool - but we needed some help and time ordering. I ordered my bowl just fine - but my dad has trouble ordering. Instead of being helpful and caring thee taller guy and a girl looked at each other as if they were annoyed. The guy then gave off a bad attitude when my dad asked for something or a question. They even giggled to each other. Food was decent, but it wouldn't be my first pick. Hopefully they can fix their customer service because it's the reason I don't want to go again. read more

Atmosphere: Clean and simple. Staff: Very friendly and attentive. If you stood up from your table they asked how they could help you. Price: Tons of food for the price, especially the BiBimBab lunch special. Food: I got the veggie dumplings - standard with a tasty sauce. I'll definitely get them fried next time. Others got the BiBimBab lunch - came with miso soup and a huge portion of essentially a build-your-own stir fry with the choice of 4 sauces. Lemon soy was the group favorite. Overall, food was very fresh, fast and tasty. Will be going back! read more

Pick & Mix III - Menu one day after opening (1/9/16) - Korean Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

The food is not fresh, the chicken was hardened and tasted like it was days old. I used to love going to the Avon location but this one is not it. read more

The food is pretty good on most day...quick and easy...you can't expect too much. After examining my receipt, this establishment charged me a credit card fee (to use my credit card)!!! Are you kidding me?!!! FYI: this is illegal in Connecticut!!! Thus, I'll be reporting the business. Others should do the same!!!! CHECK YOU RECEIPTS!!! The practice of always charging customers a fee for credit card payments, no matter how the transaction takes place, is called a surcharge. These are currently prohibited in 10 states--Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas. read more

I had the pick and mix. Brown rice, tons of veggies, chicken, teriyaki sauce. It comes with a drink and miso soup for $10. Tasted amazing! It's hard to find healthy and delicious food options. The menu is small, but hearty. Fried and steamed wontons, kimchi, wings with Korean BBQ sauce. ( I had 4, amazing sauce) You pick out your bowl and then they cook it in the back. You can also get a hot stone bowl for your order too. Small place, about 7 tables, but super friendly. Go early, lunch time is busy, but they are fast. I will be back! read more

Pick & Mix III - Combo lunch loaded with everything ! - Korean Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Was extremely excited to venture out to Glastonbury on this snowy afternoon to have some delicious Korean food.

Very disappointed in a promising restaurant that exemplifies upside potential but lacks in commitment . read more

We lived on the west coast for a couple of years and while there we were all about Pho, Ramen, etc so when we came across Pick & Mix we definitely wanted to give it a try. You can pick your bim bim bap base, veggies and protein. For a base hubby and I both picked sweet potato noodles. We loaded up on veggies (mushroom, jalapeño, carrot, zucchini, red pepper, spinach, etc-there are lots to choose from). For protein I chose tofu and hubby chose chicken. For sauce we both had the hot pepper. You can add a fried egg, double your protein or have your order served in a hot stone bowl for only $1.50 extra. Since it was lunch hours (11-3) we also got a complimentary miso soup and drink with our order. I added my soup to my bim bim bap as I was missing that old pho/ramen that I've come to know and love lol. Everything tasted great. We will definitely be back to this location or one of the others to pick & mix other yummy combinations! read more

I love this place. They're fast and friendly, but most importantly, I think I couldn't live on their Bi Bim Bop.

Very solid lunch. And such a cool concept for a Korean spot! You build your own bibimbap bowl with the proteins and veggies of your choice. I had beef and mostly all of the veggies with pepper paste and teriyaki sauce. The paste isn't too spicy. I also got the homemade kimchi on the side which was excellent. Nicely spicy but not too much. Lunch special: bowl, drink, and miso soup for $10. So good! read more

We ate here for the first time last night and were very impressed. I would definitely recommend the Bi Bim Bab with the noodles, chicken and lots of veggies. I had the spicy sauce which had quite a kick but also had delicious flavor. As per my usual M.O, I added a fried egg on top which was the "icing" on top of a very flavorful dish. For such a low price, you really can't get anything near this amount (and quality) of food anywhere else in town. The restaurant was very simple and clean and I really liked that because it put the focus on the star of the operation, the food. We will definitely be back! read more

Try the bi bim bap with sweet potato noodles, choice of protein (my fav is spicy chicken) veggies and delicious sauces all stir fried to perfection! Drooling just thinking about it!! Only downside is it's hard to find in a tiny strip mall on New London Tpke and there's no sign posted yet but once you find it you'll be glad you did!! read more
