Beef bibimbap $10
Vivian C.

Bibab Express is conveniently located at the food court near my office so I go there religiously for lunch! I usually get the beef bibimbap with purple rice ($10) and choose from their assorted sides such as shiitaki, spinach, carrots, cucumbers etc. - you can choose as many sides as you want). You also have the option of getting a flower-shaped sunny side up egg which I find very cute! Miso soup comes with the meal as well. I always overestimate my tolerance for hot sauce so it's nice that they have a water machine nearby so I can put out the spiciness in my mouth! The quality of the beef is a bit inconsistent. Sometimes they are cooked too well and they end up being very dry. Overall, I think the price is reasonable for the quality Bibab Express has to offer.

What a pleasant surprise to see this little gem in downtown!? I was looking for something small to eat before the work and the Bibab caught my eyes. Wasn't hungry enough to go for the full portion so tried their roll. Nicely wrapped and most importantly, I could still sense crunch shrimp underneath the thin layer of firm rice. Very pleasant experience!!

Udon bimbap!

This is probably one of my favourite place for lunch because the food they serve is truly the balance of eating healthy but not overly healthy like pure salad (greens) only. My personal go to food here is their Noodle Bimbap. It's very similar to the regular rice bibimbap, but instead of mixing the vegetables and the choice of your meat (Chicken or Beef) or Tofu into your rice, the mix it into a udon and it becomes what I call a Udon Salad! The Udon Salad portion is huge, I consider myself as a big guy and it can fill me up fine for lunch. For just 9$ for a Udon Salad, it is one of the better if not the best semi-healthy meal in downtown standards. The Udon Salad (Bibap) comes with an egg and you can pretty much choose whatever vegetables you want. Top if off with either a spicy or soy sauce and a complementary Miso Soup, you have yourself a great meal! If you work in the financial distract and is good navigating the path, I recommend checking out this place!

Bibimbap with all veggies and chicken.

I stumbled upon this place in the Richmond-Adelaide Centre foodcourt and the line was quite long so I decided to give it a try. This place allows you to create your own bibimbap. Step 1) pick a rice (white, brown, black) Step 2) meat choice (chicken, beef, tofu, salmon) Step 3) Veggies Step 4) Sauce (different spice levels). The one I got was quite spicy which drowned out the rest of the taste of the meat and veggies, otherwise it was quite enjoyable for a food court korean place. With that being said, it is a pretty unique choice from all the other chains in the downtown core.

The front is cute and they have a little patio set up, which is nice when you are waiting for your…read moreUber/Lyft. The entrance is a little unassuming. You walk up a goldcolored hallway and 2 flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. The host stand is farther inside.....which will make sense once you are physically in the space. The workers were very friendly and funny. I had a great time bantering with them. My friend from 8th grade and I reunited for the first time in 21 years over dinner. This was one of her picks, and I am deeply grateful she chose it. Appetizers: Rock Shrimp, Fatty Tuna Nigiri, Crispy Rice Tuna Entrée: Jidori Chicken Drinks: Sangria, Champagne Dessert: Yuzu Citrus The rock shrimp was delicious. We loved the sauce it was tossed in. My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart. They also put a little "Reunited" note on the dessert plate, which we both thought was such a sweet touch. Definitely pricey, but definitely worth it. Recommended it to my Toronto friends, I really want to go back and get that king crab rice.

I took myself to Akira Back for a solo birthday dining experience. I had plans later that night and…read moreliterally ended up opening up the place (seriously, security let me in), so the first 20 minutes or so I had the place to myself, which was really cool. It's a gorgeous setting and has a complete vibe of luxury. I thought the tacos were yummy, but the meat didn't feel special like you expect when you hear waygu. It also wasn't as earthy as I've experienced with waygu, but I didn't really mind that. I also got the Brother From Another Mother roll and really enjoyed that. All The dishes are very aesthetic and enjoyable. I was surprised at the end with a little birthday treat. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and I'd definitely go back.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. I waited around 15-20 minutes for a table…read more It's a classic Korean restaurant but one thing that stood out was their generosity with side dishes. It's rare to see a Korean restaurant so encouraging of refilling side dishes. I got the seafood pancake which was the crispiest I have ever had. It was also really tasty but I later suspect they use MSG for seasoning which makes it so good. It was really big though and we had leftovers to bring home. The soup and rice was also nice but not a lot of meat. The food took some time to come out but it was busy times while we were there. The price is also a standout, it's so affordable compared to other places. I highly recommend this place and will go back!

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides. There was 3 different kimchi, braised potatoes and 2 others that I'm not sure what they are, but they were delicious. My favourite was the potatoes and kimchi! Overall this is an amazing place to bring those close to you for delicious korean food!
