How to Create Your Own Build a Bowl
Stacy I.

The ambience is so inviting. Beautiful layout.....not a tone of seating if it were to get busy.......but you don't feel crowded. The Customer Service was friendly and helpful! I spoke with the person at the front, they said they had opened in May. I wish I had known that sooner! This place is a gem! Fresh ingredients, lots of options. My partner and I opted for the Create A Bowl. You have your choice of base, protein, veggies and sauce. I got white rice, with chicken, cabbage, carrot, zucchini, mushroom and scallions. (No egg.....this time!), with Teriyaki sauce. The chicken is all white meat, the veggies are fresh zucchini and mushroom were NOT overcooked. It all came together for a perfect meal. My partner had the white rice, beef, cabbage and zucchini also with Teriyaki. He said it was really and would be back again. I'm glad this is in a perfect place between home and work because I will be back again soon!!!!

Very delicious!!! Just the waiting time is a bit too long when you ordered in rush hour...

We stumbled across this place on our outing yesterday. We love Bibimbap and were excited to see it. The storefront looks kind small as it's just a door, but don't let that fool you. They have a small amount of seating or you can order to go! On our visit, we learned that they had only been open a week! Happy to support an up and coming business, especially one that has many competitors in the area. The menu is simple, a rice bowl or a traditional Bibimbap. And if you don't want to have everything in your bowl, or you want a little something extra, you can choose your additions. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi with gochujang. The fried egg on top is optional but I would recommend it! Lots of fresh and delicious vegetables included! We want to go back and try our dishes again with the optional noodles instead of rice! We also tried their pear soda and the honey lemon soda. At first the pear soda tasted like I was eating potpourri but it eventually grew on me. The honey lemon was also good. They would be enjoyable on a hot sunny day for sure! The staff member was very friendly and nice, even inquired how we liked everything! We will be back. Best of luck to this new business!

Beef Bulgogi Bibim Bowl with gochujang - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

A fast causal Korean bibimbap / rice bowl restaurant in Federal Way. I went here for Saturday lunch and it was not too busy. I got the beef bulgogi bibimbap which pretty much has all the ingredients listed in the menu, and I opted to add an egg for $1 and that was worthwhile since the egg was cooked to runny, which is my preference. The beef is pretty good and they do add a lot of beef in the bowl. Portions are fairly huge to justify a relatively high price tag ($14.99 for beef bulgogi, +$1 for egg), so close to $18 after tax. The ingredients were relatively fresh and there are a lot of vegetables. I opted for the gochujang sauce that was pretty decent.

My bowl! So good!

Excellent experience at Bibim Express! Lots of options, super friendly staff, and they even let me adjust my order for the special diet I follow. Delicious meal, and amazing options for vegetarian and gluten free! So glad we stopped here during our trip to WA!

Very cute shop for a solo date ! Like a Korean version of chipotle but a smarter and better choice to make. The employee who served me did an excellent job, took the time to review options and even assisted other customers while making orders! Multitasker! I will come again for the food but her service made my visit sweet .

Beef bibim
Tori L.

I was a little disappointed that the bibim bowl didn't come with an egg. They charge $1 extra for an egg. Beef bibim was pretty good but it needed extra bibim sauce since it was on the dry side for me. Rice bowl is smaller than bibim bowl. I wish it was same size as bibim bowl since the price is the same. The lettuce wrap was pretty good. Sadly the tteokpokki was horrible, not worth $7. Overall, decent place for only bibim bowl.

Bulgogi rice bowl w/ spicy mayo sauce.
Mai R.

Interior is light, playful and clean! Definitely a hole in a wall sort of vibe, and it's a good one! Food was freshly made and delicious! The day we came there was a "buy 2 bowls, get a free gyoza" on a small chalkboard. The rice bowls are large portioned, a lot of rice and good amount of protein and veggies, the gyoza was fried and came with a yummy sweet soy sauce on the side. We also got a yuzu drink which also had a passion fruit sort of taste too! Everything was awesome, the cashier was kind, patient and helped us with our options while ordering. This is a go-to spot!

Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bibim Bowl and Yachae Twigim
Daniela M.

A great spot for quick, affordable Korean-inspired comfort food! We tried the Bibim Bowl with sweet potato noodles and spicy pork bulgogi topped with an egg. While it doesn't have the same depth of flavor as a traditional Korean restaurant, it's perfect for satisfying a bibimbap craving on the go (especially at that price point). The service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. Our favorite dish was the Yachae Twigim--crispy, flavorful, and a must-try! I'd definitely return for a quick, tasty meal.

This is the recommended k bowl I had here during my first visit
Bubba B.

We discovered this little hidden gem by accident and became an instant fan of this new phenomenon known as K-Bowls. I chose the beef as my protein and we also had another bowl with tofu the bowl has rice topped with veggies that I was able to select along with our choice of topping sauce. Everything blends together really well, and the portions are very generous. The staff was helpful, explaining the concept in order choices.

Beef Bulgogi, Mango drink, Tteokbokki
Su N.

The bulgogi is good and Tteokbokki is soft and not too chewy with a slight kick. Mango drink is more like sparkling soda (I'm not a fan of sparkling soda) but it's not bad. Can taste the mango but only if you drink it without food in your mouth. Would try again.

This new spot is DELICIOUS! My fiancé and I loved their Create your own Bibim Bowls. Flavorful and fresh. Caleb was extremely kind and helpful with all my questions! Super cute and small spot. Loved it!

Chicken w/ white rice bibimbap, added egg and a side of fresh spicy kimchi!

The service was impeccable, the young lady at the counter was knowledgeable about the menu and very patient with mine and my family's questions! Great spot, fantastic portions and delicious food!

You could miss this spot if you don't know that there is a stairway that goes down a level (hence the name Underground??)) Once you get down there, you get the vibe of a bar (on the low light side, but bright enough to see and enjoy your food, drink, and company). It does give karaoke bar vibe. The service was just ok. I had questions about the rice cake dishes which are basically teokkbokki, but I'm not sure why they don't put that on the menu. The person who took our order was fine but non descriptive with the dishes. The creamy rice cake looked like penne Alfredo upon coming out. The taste was fine, but since it wasn't described for me, I truly didn't know what was in it other than heavy cream (because that's what I was told). Other than the four star chicken, it was fine. Three stars.

The owner is delightful and engages you in conversation as she packs the food . The restaurant is showing its age, but remains one of the remaining soul food restaurants in South King County in Washington. I had the fried catfish, chicken, and fries. The thing about soul food is that it all about the seasonings. Now, I prefer the cornmeal/flour coating over batter; the owner does this well. The catfish was well seasoned and the fish was tender. This is the fine line between frying it until it's as dry as the desert or perfection as was done here. The same was for the chicken wings. Light coating, crunchy, and seasoned well. Now her cornbread is good, but she should throw her fires in the trash. They are overcooked and just a let down to an otherwise nice lunch experience. Since she only does take out or cater, the place looks more like a place of storage than a restaurant. It is quiet with mini refrigerators displaying desserts and soda. Surprisingly, the owner does not serve shrimp. A bit of a surprise and I would quickly get them for lunch if they were prepared as well as the catfish. I would rate higher, and keep in mind the the prices are higher than you would expect but happy to pay again if she smoothes out some of the edges of her space and sides that accompany such wonderful catfish and chicken.

The place is situated in a very busy mall in Federal way, and can be easily missed. There always seems to be ample seating with a busy pickup and delivery service. The menu is fairly straight forward and the prices are moderate. One thing to note is that the serving sizes are, compared to American style restaurants, small. I appreciate this because I'm not inclined to overeat and can order two small dishes for lunch without lapsing into a food coma. I had the Dan Dan noodles and soy sauce fried rice with a passion fruit green tea drink. The Dan Dan noodles are described as, chewy noodles in a bold and spicy sauce with numbing peppercorns. What they forget to tell you is that they are a bit on the hypertension salty side. Because the American diet and snack foods are high in salt, it can sit well with many. The noodles are soft and chewy and well prepared. The soy sauce fried rice seems to be named appropriately as it too has a ton of salt. It is well prepared and can easily be amended to add whatever you like in your fried rice. The absolute delight was the Passion fruit green tea. This is a surprisingly refreshing drink, so much so, I wanted to get another one on the way home. The passion fruit is calm and sweet and the green tea tames it a bit. Served cold it is wonderful. I would ask If they can prepare dishes with low sodium soy sauce and light on the MSG, if they are using it. I would like to go back, but I will need to double up on my blood pressure medicine or ask for low sodium say sauce and no MSG to ensure I don't swell like a balloon. BTW, the green onion dumplings are delicious but suffer from the sodium assault.

The seasoning of the sausage was added to enhance the flavors of almost everything. From Creole dishes, to sandwiches, breakfast, appetizers, etc. I missed the value of the variety. And then, one day I discovered Altha's! As I walked through the door. I noticed how nice and clean it was. I was reminded of my southern roots. One of the Owners kindly greeted me. He shared a little background about the store and products. He asked if I was looking for something in particular. I asked about the sausage. He smiled and made a recommendation. I checked the ingredients and decided to take a package home. It was such a hit with my family. That I actually went back to purchase additional packs. The flavors are spicy and mild. An excellent addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. So, if you're interested make a trial run. Buy at least one package. You may be surprised at Altha's quick addition to your grocery shopping. Enjoy!! Peace & Blessings!~Em :-)

When a party of six your tip is automatically included which is the 18%. and I was like oh wow we had six on Tuesday and I left a $25 cash tip.

And I was like no I handed the waitress $25 cash and she never said 18% was taken out and I didn't pay attention to my receipt cause I had children with me but then when I looked back in my car on Saturday night from Tuesday, I realize that she double charged me. So on Tuesday she got over a $50 tip. The waitress on Tuesday she was a Hispanic lady with dark black hair. She robbed me. So please be aware you're going with the party of six or more. They automatically take out 18% gratuity. And I did not like that because she should've told me that you don't have to leave cash. She knew my kids were crying and I was trying to yo leave and not distract the other guest. But on the positive note, the place is nicely decorated. And service is good. I just felt robbed, so for that fact I will never ever be coming back. If you were looking to try this place for the first time come early if you want hot fresh food. If you come later in the evening, the food does taste old.
