The one important thing I would say, is that when you place an online order, they don't mark which dish is which. In my case, my boyfriend is allergic to one of the items in my dish and I had to dig through both bowls to confirm whose order belonged to who.

Was looking for a lunch destination and had a coupon for BIBIBOP Asian Grill and thought I'd try…read moreit. My lunch partner had been once before. I had a bowl with sweet potato noodles, some veggies and the Korean crispy chicken. The flavors were good, but the thing that struck me was that some of the items were essentially cold and others were lukewarm, but none of it was really hot. I think it's an inherent property of what they do. They never "grill" or warn all these items together. It would be much better IMO if all the items were stir fried or thrown on a grill quickly together to warm up the dish and meld the flavors. That said the Korean crispy chicken was flavorful and the noodles were a highlight, and seemed to be like Thai glass noodles I've had before. My dining partner got a bowl with the same noodles, some veggies and the salmon. She really like the salmon, and said her bowl was good. The restaurant was clean, the workers were very welcoming and helpful on informing how to pick bowl items, etc. Parking was very easy. Of course they accept all the standard forms of payment, including tap to pay, etc. Overall, if you like interesting yet potentially disparate flavors together in the same bowl, you will likely enjoy BIBIBOP. We had already eaten a few bites when I remembered to take the pics (Apologies).

With the official canopy and friendliness, Gluten Free Creations is a regular attendee of downtown…read moreIndy's Statehouse Market. Gluten Free Creations has one of the more obvious names among the Statehouse Market vendors - founder/baker Lydia Armstrong's Gluten Free Creations is "a home-based all gluten and corn free scratch made bakery. Our items are sold at Indianapolis area farmers markets throughout the year. We also accept special orders." You can also place orders on their website and pick up at one of the places they regularly attend (including Statehouse Market, Irvington Farmer's Market, Fishers Farmer's Market, and Avon Farmer's Market. Lydia is also known as an adventurous baker who will do what she can to accommodate other types of baking needs due to sensitivities. Product offerings include cakes/cupcakes (also Keto and Paleo options among others, though flavor options are more limited). breads, rolls, pretzel products, cinnamon rolls, Danish, and other items. Lydia can also make yeast-free breads, sweet breads, pies, cookies, cake donuts, brownies, scones, etc. The list is available on their website with pricing. I've tried the brownies (Yum!), cinnamon rolls (even more yum!), and cookies (Yum Yum). Yes, the pricing is a little higher than mass-produced products. These are specialty products from a local, woman owned business. Easily worth supporting in my book. When you add in just how sick you can get when you don't follow the needed diet, I find it balances out. I mean, seriously. How often have we violated the gluten-free diet and paid for it with digestive issues requiring OTC or even prescription meds? So, we end up spending more and feeling lousy. Lydia makes quality products that are healthier and does so at a fair price. She's always friendly and helpful and always willing to brainstorm ideas. I can always tell by the steady line at their stand that they've earned a reputation for quality baking. If you need a gluten-free baking option, Gluten Free Creations is definitely worth a visit at a local farmer's market or through their website.

Thank you food gods for blessing this city! Over the past few months, I've learned that I have a…read moregluten intolerance. Who knew!? Anyway, it changed a lot of habits, as you can imagine. Eating out has become a bit more limiting. My scones: oh, how I miss you! My SO surprised me with a batch of gluten free mini scones from a vendor at City Market Farmers Market: Gluten Free Creations. Yum! I checked out their website and wow, so much to offer. Vegan, paleo, gluten free, many items allergen free. Scones, cake doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, cakes, sandwich and other breads. I try to write somewhat useful reviews so I definitely want to give this place a shout out and bring it to anyone's attention who may have concerns about certain allergens. Surely you know someone because I don't think a person counts as an actual human being these days if they don't have at least some food sensitivity (I can't believe I'm one of them!). Things to keep in mind, this isn't Ezra's, so their aim isn't necessarily "healthy." Sugar is typically a no go for me, and if that's you too, this place is probably a no go. But if you're entertaining where there are many actual human beings ( I would definitely have a human authenticity device on hand for those who claim to have none. Aliens are real, people!) or you're someone who has food sensitivities, you've got to check this place out! I haven't found any baker in Indy who only does gluten free, so again, worth the review and checking them out for this reason alone. They have no brick and mortar establishment but all local farmer's markets, and they have their schedule listed on their website. If you want to place an order other than what they offer that particular day, contact them but you will have to pick up at a farmer's market. Do I recommend them? Well, truthfully, I've only tried a delicious mini scone so far, but I am excited about their brand/their concept so if you get excited about this too, and you're not afraid of a good ol' fashion American baked good, yes, id recommend them! However, if you are looking for guilt free unbaked goods, I'd probably say go to Ezra's, as I usually do. I can't wait to read about your experience!

The place has a small dining area with a television and music playing throughout. They serve teriyaki-covered proteins in a bowl of either rice or noodles. The proteins include salmon, steak, and chicken. They also have desserts and sides, such as egg rolls. I ordered the steak teriyaki with noodles and an egg roll. It took me about 12 minutes to get my food. It was fresh and hot. It was pretty good. If you do not have enough teriyaki on your food, there is a bottle on each table you can use to add more. The staff there was ok. My interaction with them was limited, but they just did their job. The restaurant itself was very clean, and they do offer catering for those in need of meals for a special event/occasion. I liked my meal and am glad that I was able to stop by. I look forward to coming here again.

I had to come on here and leave a review because this place honestly blew me away. I went to…read moreTeriyaki Madness (they've got locations on the south side in Greenwood and also in the Castleton area), I believe they are also expanding to more locations and from the moment I walked in, everything about the experience was top-tier. First off, I got the spicy teriyaki chicken bowl (regular size), and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was packed with flavor. The portion size was more than fair for the price around $10.99 for the combo and it genuinely felt like you're getting your money's worth. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the sauce had just the right kick, and everything was fresh. I also grabbed an egg roll on the side (not included in the combo), and it was 100% worth it great size, crispy, and just done right. Now I'll be honest, I usually don't go for yakisoba noodles, but the co-owner, Brandy, insisted I try them. She had my girlfriend get rice so we could swap and compare, and I'm glad we did because both were seriously amazing. I'd go back for either one without hesitation. But what really made this experience stand out wasn't just the food it was the service. Brandy is hands down one of the most welcoming and genuine people I've ever met in the service industry, and I've been in it myself for over 7.5 years. The way she greeted us, asked if it was our first time, explained things, and just kept such a positive, upbeat energy the whole time it made a huge difference. She even came by to check on us while we were eating, which you barely see anymore unless you're at a sit-down restaurant and even then, some places don't do it well. She absolutely nailed it. If that's the level of care and energy she brings as a co-owner, I can only imagine how strong her team is. She sets the tone, and it shows. Overall, this place gets 5 stars across the board from me honestly, if I could give 10, I would give 12. And Brandy? 10 stars easy. She's doing everything right and deserves all the recognition. You can tell she truly cares, and that kind of effort doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you again, Brandy you're amazing at what you do. Keep being you. Your team is lucky to have you, and you're definitely setting the standard. - Gio & Marissa (the guy with the health & life science hat, you know who this is!)

Really liked it. I believe it's mostly, if not all, vegan. I know they were experimenting with some…read moreitems with dairy a while ago but I did not notice any non-vegan items while I was there, so not sure if that's still a thing. Anyway, it is a little out of the way. It's walkable from downtown but not really in the downtown core. Pretty quiet when I was there, but the atmosphere felt approachable. Some of the chairs were like school desk chairs (adult-sized, of course) that I haven't seen since I was in primary school which was kind of funny. The guy at the counter was cheerful and friendly. They looked like they had run out of some of the hot savory items by Saturday mid-afternoon, but there was still a wide variety of sweets. I believe the current owners are Indian, and you see some of those flavours featured. I got: Samosa handpie: Good, not mind-blowing, but good. Nice flavours. If you like a flaky crust, this is not it, but I liked the rustic pastry crust. Pistachio cardamom donut: Loved it. Before I moved to Bloomington, there were a few bakeries that offered vegan-GF cake donuts that I loved, and this was the first thing I've gotten here that reminded me of that. Pleasant texture and strong cardamom flavour, not too sweet. I think these are baked donuts, so they're a little different from regular fried donuts, but in a good way IMO. Rose dream latte: Milk with rose syrup topped with coconut whip and nuts, no espresso. Tasted great, but more of a dessert drink than I was expecting. The coconut whip was quite thick. The concept could probably use some refinement, because the whip was too thick and rigid to drink without a straw, but the nut pieces were too big to go through a straw, and so I couldn't figure out the best way to drink it. From what I understand, there are some longtime fans of this place who feel like the quality has dropped since the most recent change in ownership, but as someone who had never been here before, I really had a good experience. I get why people would be upset when something changes, but if you are considering trying this place for the first time, I wouldn't be too put off by the negativity around the change in ownership. There's no other place specialized in vegan baking in Bloomington, so I think it's good to support what they are continuing to do here, and even though I am partial to vegan food I wouldn't say that if it wasn't also GOOD. They also had some refreshingly unique options for baked goods.

I asked for a menu as the wait was longer than I had time for. She was uneducated about the menu and struggled to answer questions. She went to get a server to take my order. We waited and received our food, cashed out, & headed on our way. When we arrived at our destination we realized they left the syrup out so we had no syrup for our pancakes. I called and told them I was headed back for syrup and asked for a future meal replacement. They refused and offered to make more pancakes. With their level of unprofessionalism and disgusting attitudes there was no way I was going to trust them to remake ANYTHING for me! I was offered a $5 gift card. I went back to retrieve syrup and was confronted by a server telling me I was being rude for asking for what I paid for and then receiving the putrid level of service I received.

My server, Alan, walked me thru the options to build my custom bowl. The bowl is ready in less than a minute! I selected a lettuce base with chick pea curry, Brussels sprouts, a fabulous pickle onion, kimchi, carrots and topped the bowl off with Korean bbq made from beef brisket. The ingredients were flavorful with varied degrees of spicy heat. The spice levels were perfect for me without added sauce. The curry was tasty and the bbq was tender and juicy. I loved my bowl. I especially liked being able to select ingredients that fit my diet. The dining area has an upscale vibe with six long tables.
