This place is a great place for casual eating! I love getting the seasonal Kong Guksu (cold bean noodles), and the Tteokbokki was such a hit amongst my friends and family! The food was also very fresh and had lots of different flavor profiles. Delicious and healthy Korean food in the neighborhood. Truly a gem in Korean food scene. Staff is incredibly polite and kind and the food is, as they claim in their website, authentic. It is just like home made cooking I remember and all ingredients are super fresh. The interior is adorable and very well coordinated. Highly recommend coming here if you're interested in trying Korean cuisine. I will be back to try more. I'm already recommending to friends and family.

This was a great place. Bowl was great with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Great service too! Nice clean restaurant.

I wanted a place to eat something and work for a couple hours. Since I was there at off peak hours, this worked well. I would not have been comfortable parking myself at a table for an extended stay at dinner time, as even at off peak hours they get traffic. I bring my own hot spot so I don't know if they have WiFi. I ordered the "vege lovers special" (B1) with crystal noodles, added meat, and an egg. It was very good, and the portion size is generous.

Love it the first time we visited. The cashier / servant explained menu clearly. Nice service and short wait for the food. Pancake is an excellent choice.

While the concept of Bibim Town is appealing, my recent experience fell short of my expectations. Overall, the dishes I tried were underwhelming, lacking the vibrancy and flavor I associate with Korean cuisine.The biggest letdown was the pervasive sogginess that affected multiple dishes. The veggies, normally a textural highlight, were limp and watery. The kimchi pancakes, which should be crispy and savory, were sadly saturated and lacked any real kimchi punch. The dumplings, too, suffered the same fate, their wrappers falling flat and flavorless.The rice cake stew, while edible, failed to impress. It was more of a simmered mix of ingredients than a flavorful, cohesive dish. I missed the depth and complexity I typically find in Korean stews.Bibim Town has some work to do in terms of texture and taste. Addressing the sogginess issue and infusing dishes with bolder, more authentic flavors would go a long way in improving the overall experience.Also, the serving station for the veggies was literally bowls of veggies sitting on ice. They don’t not look appealing and unfortunately tasted the same way.

I’m a Korean who knows Korean food very well. Everything was out of my expectation in nice way. The food was fresh and delicious. The owner lady is very kind and helpful for order. I can recommend this place confidently.

Our favorite local spot! Food that doesn't make you feel groggy or crappy after eating because it's nutritious and super tasty. They've nailed making healthy foods taste really good. I'm not even vegetarian but love their tofu (and all the meat options, but tofu is my favorite). Such friendly staff too!

Excellent portion, and the flavor is great. We ordered from here several times and the quality has been consistent. Good value for good food!

I’ve been scoping out restaurants in the area and happened to find Bipim Taste really close to home. It was incredible!! I got the J-Bop with white rice, spicy pork, and an egg and I cleaned my plate. Everything’s made from scratch (even the kimchi) and tasted so fresh.I’m excited to go back and would highly recommend checking it out! It’s an absolute gem of a place and I’m so glad that I decided to go ?
