I am a big fan of hot stone bowl bibimbap, so I was excited to see that BiBim Kitchen was getting such great reviews. Flew in at 5:00 into McClarren and headed down here for dinner. The restaurant is still taking several COVID precautions that I think impact the feel to the restaurant.The food was great and had great flavors to enjoy. I got the original spicy sauce and it was the traditional Gochujang chili sauce. The bulgogi beef was tender and well seasoned. The vegetables were good but there were a couple of items that I am used to having in my Bibimbap that were not available such as the fish cake and the bean curd noodles. You can get your Sunnyside up egg which is a real must with this dish.
We used to really like this place and they are stuck in a time warp with this pandemic apparently. They don’t have their grill open and it’s nothing like it shows on the website. There’s no banchan and the prices have been jacked up too high. I suggest going somewhere else.
We arrived at approximately 7:30PM on a Saturday night to find only one other table occupied that soon went vacant. Hot stone pots were ordered, but we were informed that these were not available after 7PM so we chose the classic (cold) bowl with purple rice and 6 vegetables. We each ordered chicken as the protein, but were advised they were out of it so we requested spicy pork. They were also out of a few other vegetables including broccoli and spinach. The food was good, would have better if they were not out of our requested menu items. We saw one of the 2 employees departing mid-meal and for a while we wondered if we were the only ones in the restaurant. We had an unwelcome surprise or two when reviewing the bill to the extent there is now an up-charge for the spicy pork as well as the avocado. These additional charges are still not disclosed in their online menu.
This was a pretty nice little spot. I love Korean food and they offer a pretty nice selection of personal sides for your own bibimbap. I had the hot stone experience (fine in only) which really kept the food nice and hot while I devoured the food. It was fairly priced and was a nice experience to have a nice Korean food delicacy
Good prices and super fast service. Ease and straight forward menu. I loved the stone bowl experience (only dine-in).
This is the first and only place I have enjoyed Traditional Korean Bowls. The food is fresh and healthy and affordable. The dining room is a comfortable place for date night or lazy night (you don’t want to cook)! I recommend this place - give the purple rice a try. Tell them Chef Uber sent you. Follow me for plenty of restaurants I tevirw.
Delicious - the purple rice here is amazing! Stone pot bibimbap is fresh with so many options...different meal everytime!
Was in the mood for bibimbap so here I am. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great. This is a fast casual version of what you might get at a full Korean restaurant, my only complaint is the rice didn’t get as crispy as I’d like. All in all it was a fast/easy option to hit a craving.In the photo is a dolsot bibimbap with: purple rice, spicy pork, bean spout, red onion, kimchi, spicy cucumber, and a fried egg.
I love kimchi fries and it’s hard to find them in the us. Great food! Thank you!:)
Self explanatory menu to build your own bowl. Food was really good and loved my mixture of Bulgari, kitchen, mushrooms, beansprouts,cucumber and corn over rice! The accompanied sauce works well with the sweet and spicy one recommended but really didn't need it. Bulgari fries were crazy awesome and a little spicy. It is plentiful requiring sharing! Need to explore more of the choices next time!
