BIBIBOP is known for their healthy, gluten-free menu, but don't let that scare you away, there's plenty of flavor here! They're set up similar to Chipotle, where you build your order through a line. There's no table service here, just order, and seat yourself. All meals are bowls. First, you pick your base of rice, purple rice (you should try it, if you haven't), sweet-potato noodles (sweet-potato is gluten-free), and/or salad. Continue to pick the rest of your toppings, you can get as many different toppings as you like, though there are some toppings that may cost extra like Pineapple, or Avocado. Lastly, you will choose your protein; beef, korean beef, chicken, spicy chicken, or tofu.
The bowl size, and your protein choice will largely make up the cost of your meal. Personally, I feel the small bowl is more than enough food. Often overlooked; they also offer complimentary miso soup. This is usually found near the drink station. Their miso soup is nothing special, but it's a nice addition on a cold day, or if you just feel like...
Read moreI love me some Bibibop! I got a chance to try their newest location in the metro here in Shawnee and really enjoyed the experience. It is tucked away in a small strip and as soon as we started walking towards the front door, we heard their speakers playing K-Pop. A really nice touch to add to the fact that this is a Korean based restaurant.
Once inside, we noticed the restaurant was very clean and tidy. It had the signature wall décor pieces I am used to seeing at other locations. The gentleman that helped us was friendly enough and did a great job making our bowls. I tried the newer Korean beef (basically a beef bulgogi) and it was really good. I have always enjoyed the food at Bibibop and have yet to eat something here that was satisfactory. Everything was so delicious this trip too.
Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch on this day and cannot wait to come back. The food was fresh, tasted excellent, and looked just as good. The service was great and the restaurant seemed to be adequately staffed which was nice to see. Thanks for a...
Read moreRestaurant was very clean and even though I was coming in for a late dinner and it was not very busy the food looked very fresh and appealing. I used the purple rice, spicy chicken, an array of veggies and the gochujang sauce. The staff was very friendly and helpful and obviously very diligent in their work. Cleaning up when we entered but greeted us promptly, answered my questions directly and confident and moved very quickly.
The portions were excellent, I think big enough for even a large eater but not so big you have two meals and are wasting anything you can't take with you. Tables were clean and relatively comfortable for being unpadded. While we were there eating a few other customers came in and I noticed they all received prompt service as well.
No complaints to be found in my visit, I think places like this are as good as the staff so this is a well run location. If it weren't outside my regular area I'd definitely go back - as it is if I'm back that way again I'll definitely remember it's there...
