Only the bowls: Upgrading my rating to five stars because it makes me keep going back. Steady quality and quantity. Never fails putting me a big smile whenever I open a Bangbop's bowl. Writing this update makes me craving again. Perhaps, dinner for tonight? read more

Bangbop - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We got a $11 off with $15 of purchase promotion via Instagram and decided to check it out! We were a little confused when we got to Taste Makers and found out that we had to order online. However, it was really easy to order online and our order was ready in 10 minutes. We got the traditional and Rainbow bipbimpop and an order of pork buns. The rice bowls were pretty as a picture, filled with lots of veggies and a generous amount of meat. The bulgogi was wonderfully spicy in the traditional bowl, the kimchi was definitely on fishy side which was great,not too spicy either. The golbi in the rainbow bowl was nice and tender and fell off the rib bones quite easily. The buns were well dressed will the toppings and spicy however the actual bun itself was a little too big compared to the fillings and felt a little too much like bread and not like a steamed bao bun. read more

I ordered the new LA galbi bowl with 6 spicy hot wings. While the Galbi was delicious, the wings weren't so much...They had a good sauce and flavor but were not "air fried" or crispy to say the least. I was def disappointed, but the sauce sort of made up for it, just wish they would be consistent with the wings, because I saw mixed reviews and decided to give them a try. They also gave me these chubby drumsticks and two flats, which had broken bones. I couldn't really finish them, and had to pick around. Look at the picture i posted, I wouldn't have even served those. Nonetheless, I would still come back and order the wings again. I'll just ask for extra crispy next time, and hope all of the wings are in tact, and not small like this. read more

Bangbop - Six "Air-Fried" Wings. These were like the chubby drumsticks mostly, and only two flats which had broken bones. - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Just came here to tell everyone to order from bangpop right now!! I ordered via ubereats. The Inferno Bibimbap is one of the best meals I've had in my life - full of color, taste, flavor - and a generous portion! I haven't even started on the wings or kimbap, but I can bet they will both be good. Amazing! Look forward to eating from here a lot. read more

Bangbop - The Inferno Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had the LA Galbi short rib rice bowl with sides of spinach, kimchi, and pickled radish. I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to get back there for more and to try other offerings. The short ribs were so tasty, a great balance of smokiness and sweetness. The rice was perfectly cooked. The sides were all delicious. Glad I know about this place. I don't live close by, but when I'm in the city again, I'm going to order to take home to share with my family. read more

The Space: Bangbop is located inside the Tastemakers food hall. They don't have an actual stand where you can order from. However, they use the kitchen and you can order online to pick up if you want to dine in at Tastemakers. I typically order pick up and they will usually put orders on the right side wall by the entrance or on a table to the left by bullfrog's bagels. The Service: Very friendly! I've had them call me when they are out of certain dishes after I've placed my order and they let me substitute for something else. The Food: My favorite thing to order are the Bulgogi Banh Mi ($10) and the Bulgogi Cheesesteak ($13), which are both reasonably priced. The Bulgogi Banh Mi is a great korean/vietnamese fusion and satisfies my craving for Banh Mi and the Bulgogi Cheesesteak is a fun flavorful twist on the philly cheesesteak! If you want something affordable and filling I would recommend the Japchae Noodles Box ($8), which sales out quick. Sometimes they will have an Oxtail dish on their menu that I've been meaning to try! read more

The food is exactly what you'll pay for. Cheap, average, not a lot of care put in, but enough to satisfy you for what it is. Advice: do NOT order delivery. They use Postmates and unfortunately I don't know if it's their fault but they can't contact the driver, who has disappeared when I ordered there twice. There is literally no way to figure out where your food went. read more

Bangbop - Impossible Bulgogi Bao Bun - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

So, I so badly wanted to love this place and FOR THE MOST PART, I did. The bibimbap was DELICIOUS!! Bulgogi beef was tender, kimchi crunchy with a little spice, generous portion of veggies and the bowl just delivered on all accounts!! BUT, I also ordered the Korean Fried Chicken wings and I was disappointed...big time!! 1st: fried?! More like baked. The chicken wings were like a soft baked battered chicken. 2nd: the wings were barely coated in the sauce. The small amount of sauce I did taste was good - just wish the wings had been shown as much love and attention as the bibimbap bowl. Take away lesson: steer clear of the Korean baked (I mean fried) wings. However, you can't go wrong with the bibimbap bowls. read more

SOOO DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL -- DONT RUSH THEM ITS WORTH THE WAIT. This is the best Kimbap I've ever had. So many layers of flavor. Each ingredient could stand alone and great as a mixture it's a phenomenon!! First of I love that this is a ghost restaurant. this is the future and shows how modern the philosophy of this place is. The wait can be a little bit long but I think it's cause they were busy today. I would only advise for more directions for the pickups and how to pick up food. I'm sooo satisfied with my food. It was an amazing price for how much I got and the quality. LOVED IT!!! Hope they keep going I would like to order soon again for my family dinner ! read more

Bangbop - Tacos (Regular) Bulgogi Kimbap Sac Sac Spicy K-BBQ Baked Wings - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Tried The Rainbow Bibimbap and the Bulgogi Tacos. Very delicious, and great portion sizes. I will definitely have enough for lunch tomorrow :) Pickup was easy and they even had a selection of drinks to choose from, overall very happy with trying out this new place ( especially since you get $11 off on your first order). Will definitely eat here again! read more

I usually like to order direct from a restaurant's website to make sure the money goes to the restaurant staff and not an app. Unfortunately Bangbop's website is a mess!! I had a promo code for 25% off so I decided to place a preorder for dinner pickup. The order went through, but invalidated my discount code AND didn't save the time I wanted to pick up; I immediately got a text saying to pick up in 20 minutes. I've tried calling and texting them to cancel so I can resubmit the order for dinnertime but no one is answering, and it's been over 30 minutes. I guess now I'm on my way down to pick up my dinner at 12pm so the money isn't wasted. Really frustrating experience. EDIT: Oh my god, I just drove down there and found out they WERE preparing it for dinner pickup after all and sent me the wrong text message. No explanation of why no one answered their customer service number and seemingly no hope of them honoring my discount code either. I love the food here but I don't know if I'll order here again, what a nightmare. read more

Wow - what an amazing find! Bangbop opened in Tastemakers in the fall of 2020 and has been a fantastic addition! This family-run and Asian-owned business provides exceptional food at very reasonable prices. Their take on Korean-fusion mixes some great options - tacos, pizza, along with some of your more traditional Korean dishes. Portions are well-sized (even hungry, I had some leftovers from my $11 dish). They do delivery as well on Grubhub and other vendors. Definitely worth a visit and a place that we will add to our regular rotation! read more

Great takeout spot. Love the impossible bulbogi and steam buns. Grab this for lunch or dinner. My kids love it too! Nice and fresh and healthy. read more

Props to bangbop for opening during a pandemic AND offering quality food for relatively cheap! I ordered delivery, and did have to reheat the food when it got here (not the restaurant's fault), so I think everything may have been better non-microwaved. But keeping that in mind, I still think it's a 5-star spot. I tried "the future" bibimbap because I was intrigued by the impossible bulgogi (vegan mean substitute). The impossible bulgogi was great! It didn't taste exactly like meat, which I actually prefer - but it was very flavorful and complemented everything well. It's great to see impossible meat being used for more than just burgers now! While I normally love guac, I don't think it meshed that well with the other flavors, and I'd leave it out next time. I also got tofu bao buns - I didn't love the texture/dryness of the buns, but since I've heard others rave about them, I think this is my own problem. read more

I decided to order a variety of things that piqued my interest: bulgogi cheesesteak + kimchi, veggie dumplings, and candied squid. Everything was so delicious. The cheesesteak came with "koritos"--they were so good that I don't know how I'll be able to go back to doritos. Veggie dumplings--solid. The bulgogi was so dang good. I ordered the candied squid mostly because I was curious about what that would taste like and it was awesome. Whatever expectation I may have had for that was exceeded! Anyway, highly recommend. I'll definitely be coming back because I need to try one of the pizzas and some bao buns! read more

Neighborhood spot with great Kpop food. Had dumplings, bibimbap and rice wrap - oh and the spicy chicken pizza too. Was pretty good - and super quick to get. Will try more stuff out from them in the future. read more

I stopped by this place last weekend. The food is fantastic! I ordered the pork belly bossam box, gimbap rolls with bulgogi, and a jar of kimchi. Everything was fresh and delicious but I have to dive into the pork bossam box in particular. Eating these ssam's was the best experience I've had and they were the tastiest I've had since having them in Seoul last year. The pork belly was so tender and delicious and I agree with another review that they do an excellent job rending out the excess fat. The richness of the meat is cut with the delicious freshness and spice of the whole garlics, salted shrimps, sweet radish, ssamjang and kimchi. Its just an incredible bite of food that is filling yet refreshing. I also received a really generous portion which has lasted me several meals which I really appreciate. I love Korean food and will definitely be back to get another bossam box (and try other things!) soon. read more

Pros: healthy, delicious and flavorful fast casual Korean food; quick and seamless pickup at Tastemakers; local team! Cons: price point. $12 for superfoods bowl but expected a bit more (and apparently missed their promo). I'm super petite and eat like a bird and typical fast casual works twice over for me, lunch and later snack. I ate this whole meal in one go! So... my recommendation is either price a little less, or offer a little more to be competitive with other brands. read more

This food was really tasty. The free garlic glass noodles were delicious. We had bao buns with pork and it had a great flavor and spice. The impossible bulgogi was impressive and a nice alternative since I don't eat beef. I would definitely come again when I want really tasty food. read more

Good Korean food that is hard to come by in much of DC. Highly recommend with large portions and fresh-tasting takeout. The bao buns and galbi were particularly good. read more

Bangbop - Bulgogi Bao Bun - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

SOOO good! the flavors flaved. i got the bulgogi dumplings and the Rainbow Bibimbap Bowl. the bulgogi was so tender and soft. the sweet soy K-bbq sauce was delicious. The crunchiness of the veggies added a really nice texture and contrast to the seasoned brown rice and bulgogi. Ugh! delicious! the dumplings were good as well but for some reason they had a little bit of a frozen taste. Regardless, I'm definitely coming back here. *chefs kiss* read more

Love bangbop! So good to have tasty Korean food in brookland. Check out their bibimbap or one of the boxes.

Delicious food! Thank you for resolving our deliver issue! We will be returning soon.

Amazing bibimbap and tacos! If any feedback, the taco tortilla could be more durable and less papery, but honesty an amazing food experience. Great value! Three outdoor picnic tables available outside. read more

Got the LA Galbi set. Loved it. My stomach was bursting, but didn't feel heavy like other Korean dishes might be. Tasted just like my grandma's cooking. Great price too! read more

We grabbed takeout Saturday night and loved it all! Spicy tacos, dumplings, bahn mi, bulgogi bowl...everything was fresh and flavorful!

Everything I have tried have been great. Food and service is always great. Pricing is good and the food is made with LOVE!!! Fast turnaround time as well. Definitely recommended. read more

So often you wonder if a restaurant is deserving of its low stars or not. In this case, if this restaurant deserves anything it is 0 stars. 1 star is the required minimum for a Yelp. I had food poisoning from bang pop, so maybe their restaurant name is correct for the experience. Bang, pop. Don't order from here you will get sick. read more

The food is deliciously consistent every time! So much flavor!! Each time I've ordered I've tried something new and have yet to be let down. Highly recommend! read more

It's inside another building :)) They currently only do take out but the food was good!

I'm always excited to try a new spot in Brookland and food-wise Bangbop didn't disappoint. I ordered the spicy pork bao; the flavors were really good and the bao was sizable (although the pork was not very spicy). However, Bangbop fell short in terms of customer service. I never received a text or an email saying my food was ready. When I arrived at Tastemakers to pick up the food, I texted per the instructions on the door however I was never told my food was ready for pick-up. It's only after I just went inside, I found my food sitting out with three other orders. It would be great if Bangbop followed their own protocols. read more

First time ordering and it was a pleasant experience. The food arrived on time and was still hot. I appreciated the delicious, well-seasoned extra chips that was added though not requested or purchased. Delicious food!!! read more

Really good take on bibimbop. Flavors are good, lots of fun options. Highly recommend.

Happened upon bang bop after reading a review on Yelp. SO AMAZING. Very tasty, fresh and flavorful. They had a great promo for first time orders and it was definitely worth every dollar to get the pork belly bossam box. If you're in the area (or want delivery) - check it out! read more

I'm vegetarian, and the cheesesteak and bao buns with Impossible meat meat are real real good.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Healthy, hearty and flavorful and the delivery was fast, too. I have long been a fan of bibimbop so I made my own bowl with many of the traditional ingredients and it was great. But I'm also vegetarian so I had my first veggie bulgogi. We got some dumpling which are fine but I think we'll stick to the star dish of bibimbop in the future and try some other variations. We get a lot of take-out during covid and I'm starting to feel like most options are either just too heavy or not worth ordering. Didn't feel that way with this at all (sauces on the side). Thank you! read more

I got the galbi take out expecting a few ribs because that's what most places give you... NOT HERE. Half the bowl was short ribs, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen read more

What in the ever-loving snack magic are these "koritos?!" All of the food I ordered from BangBop was great, but these kimchi nacho chips have ruined me for life. I will never be able to eat normal chips again. Please package these so I can eat a whole [family sized] bag in one sitting. read more

We ordered a couple dishes for pickup and had a great experience! The LA Galbi bowl and bulgogi bao were particularly good. The meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the kimchi was particularly delicious. As a Korean American I'm so excited this spot is now open and am definitely going to add it to my regular rotation! read more

I was really excited to see this opened up during COVID. My roommate and I order from here occasionally. She loooves the bulgogi sandwich and raves about the chips that come with it. I've had the spicy Korean bbq wings and the bulgogi bao buns. I did really like the wings, but the bulgogi in the bao buns was slightly too fatty for my taste. It's a super affordable place to get a quick lunch from and you should definitely check it out! read more
