Steak and egg lacked flavor but was also in good volume. Tea egg was super hard boiled and dry. Taiwan popcorn chicken wasn't too dry but needed sauce incredibly badly. Overall can't complain too much as this is one of the last standing inexpensive places to buy food in town!

Looking for a different option for lunch at work, and I actually didn't know this place was here,…read moreso I went ahead and gave it a shot. I had the green beans and tofu bowl with white rice, and I got an order of the Taiwanese popcorn chicken to go with. The bowl came with a canned soda, the only options were coke and diet coke, so I have a Coke in the fridge for some time in the distant future. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on the dish, but it was a great portion size for lunch and the chicken was actually better dipped in the sauce, since it didn't come with any. The rice was kind of dry. However, again, good portion size, close to the office, and ready pretty quickly. This is a tiny little shop with no indoor seating, but some patio tables outside. Probably pretty popular with students, and I'm sure I'll try something else from their menu.

I have been lucky enough to eat at some amazing restaurants in North America and throughout Europe…read more I really wanted to leave a great review for this local restaurant... I really wanted to. Since a number of our friends have been to this establishment and left great reviews, I really wanted to do the same. I really wanted to. However, I'm struggling to do so. It started with our table not being ready yet, no worries there, we understand. The host took us to a lovely little alcove and sat the four of us down and we were quickly approached by the Sommelier. This establishment obviously takes their wine very seriously, almost to the point of being pretentious. But not all of us are wine drinkers. Due to an allergy to sulfites. When we looked at the list of available mixed drinks, nothing really appealed... So my wife asked for a simple vodka and tonic. She was informed that that was not one of the "APPROVED" drinks that they offered. What !?! They have vodka, they have tonic... Why can't we get what we want? When my friend requested an IPA he was informed that IPAs don't pair well with the food offerings, consequently, they do not have that option. Frankly, shouldn't that be HIS decision what he feels pairs with HIS palette and not the restaurants? Just a bit pretentious. Did I mention I really wanted to write a great review? So we sucked it up and ordered two glasses of overpriced white wine ($18 for a glass of mediocre wine) and two of the "approved" drinks offered. At this point, I'd like to state that the service we received other than the initial pretension exhibited by the wine Sommelier, was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and well trained and the support staff made sure that our water glasses were filled. Thankfully, I can leave a great review with regards to them. Now to the food... the dumpling sampler was delicious. The four of us ordered the ribs, the duck, the beef and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. Honestly, almost all of the dishes were deliciously prepared, albeit a bit modest on the quantity of food presented. Our waiter initially suggested that these could be shared... I'm not sure how we would do that with the smaller plates offered as entrées. My noodles, however, came out as a solid chunk of over microwaved noodles, the kind that you get if you forget to take your Costco ramen out of the microwave in time. It was a solid block of dried out noodles. I was about to call our waiter over and ask that they give it another shot. When out of the corner of my eye I saw my wife giving me "the look", don't make it a thing her eyes said to me. So I took my chopsticks and pried the noodles apart, and tried to mix them with the sauce as best as I could. So to summarize; *A little too pretentious on the whole drink thing. I think they're trying too hard. *Service was great *Three out of four entrees were a success * $17 for a mixed drink is pricey but doable, $18 for mediocre wine not so much. As I mentioned, I really wanted to leave a good review... sadly other than the waiter and the support staff I find it difficult to do. Thank you

A great ramen spot in the University Circle area!…read more I came here for a quick lunch. I got the char siu ramen ($15.50). It came piping hot with plenty of noodles, a decently sized portion of char siu, and lots of kikurage mushrooms and corn. The noodles had a nice chew, the char siu was tender, and the tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful. I slurped up every bit of that soup. The restaurant itself is very no-frills. It looks like it's mostly a takeout place, but they do have a few tables for dine-in customers. Most of the seating consisted of high chairs (not my fave as a vertically challenged person). I will have to come back here in the autumn or winter - I bet the hot ramen will hit the spot even more in cold weather.

Korean-inspired fast casual restaurant chain - think Chipotle but Korean and a bit healthier (still…read morepretty salty though). Been to this locations many times in undergrad and stopped by recently on the way to the library nearby. Over the years, they have made their regular bowl size smaller, introduced a smaller bowl, then also changed the size of that. It seems now that the small and regular bowl is almost minimal difference in terms of what they are scooping, so if you already know the bowl is a lot for you, the smaller bowl may be more worth your money. For base, my go-to is mix of noodles and purple rice. Their noodles are made of sweet potato starch, so my base also happens to be a good gluten-free option. For hot toppings (black beans, curry chickpeas, bean sprouts, potatoes, and broccoli), you can ask for a total of 4, where "extra" of anything counts as 2 of that. So I get extra beans and extra potatoes, which counts as 4. My favorite 2 meats are their steak and korean BBQ. Well flavored, but again, on the saltier side. For cold toppings, they said they didn't have any carrots and I didn't inquire further if I had to wait for that or not, but that may have been due to me coming at opening. So you may be expected to wait if ordering at opening hour. Otherwise, the front staff were nice. It's pretty empty at opening for dining in. Side street parking there is difficult to get, but there is a lot behind it that is free for 30min (turn into E 115th to get there).

Easily the most disappointing bibibop I've been in. I've heard of bad chipotles, bad McDonald's…read moreetc, but for some reason I thought bibibop would be immune to this stereotype. 45 minutes prior to closing, half of the toppings were missing because they didn't want to make them again. You couldn't see what they had because it was in random bins scattered behind them. It was also cold. The water dispenser shoots water all over the counter it was hilarious. Bowls were filled as skimpy as they could be without raising an eyebrow. My food was still good and yummy and I ain't no Karen but dang I thought spending the extra money to eat at a nicer fast food place would be worth it and it usually is, but this bibibop was mid

The presentation is genuinely nice. Whoever is plating the food cares about how it looks…read more Unfortunately the kitchen isn't backing it up where it counts. The General Tso chicken was a letdown across the board. No heat, barely any sauce, and the lightly steam broccoli came out cold and wet, which made my crispy chicken a soggy lukewarm mess. That's a fundamental execution issue. A friend ordered the ramen and had it worse -- crunchy noodles and a cold soup base. Cold ramen broth isn't a style choice, it's a mistake. Front of house compounded the experience. Slow, visibly uncertain, and in clear need of training. You can tell the staff wants to do well but hasn't been given the tools to get there. That's a management problem. The bones of a decent restaurant are here. Right now the food and service aren't meeting the standard the presentation promises that a mid price Asian pacific restaurant needs to hit.
