About BIBIBOP

BIBIBOP Asian Grill offers a tasty and fresh dining experience, with attentive service and a friendly staff. The made-to-order meals, such as the bibimbap-inspired bowls, feature a diverse selection of vegetables and proteins, with a focus on healthier options. Customers can enjoy vegetarian options like tofu, and the restaurant caters to dietary restrictions such as gluten-free choices with rice bowls. The sauces, including sesame and spicy options, are flavorful and add to the meal. The restaurant also offers Korean side dishes, or banchan, like seasoned spinach, yellow radish (danmuji), burdock root, stir-fried anchovies, and seaweed, which enhance the experience. Unique ingredients like black garlic, trumpet mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, lotus root, and water chestnuts are appreciated. Many customers enjoy the atmosphere, which includes seating on the floor with cushions, shoes off, and metal bowls, spoons, and chopsticks. The large flat-screen TV often plays KTrot or soccer, adding to the lively environment. Prices are reasonable, including a bowl, sauce, and cookie. The American-Korean fusion cuisine has gained popularity through word-of-mouth recommendations and is praised for being healthy, delicious, and pregnancy-friendly. Parking is available in a garage, free for the first 90 minutes, then $2 for the next two hours. The restaurant is also kid-friendly with benches and bar stools.
