When I worked in the area, I'd always pass by Bibimbowl on my way out to lunch elsewhere. Today, I finally got a chance to have lunch here with coworkers. Bibimbowl is a humble, casual, and cozy restaurant which features bibimbap, dol sot bibimbap, tofu stew, or boxes. The parking is decent in this small strip mall. Order via kiosk and/or cashier, pay, and place number stand on the table and they will bring your order when ready. Complimentary ice water available. The majority is inside seating but a few tables outside to enjoy the weather. Only one unisex restroom. I went with the Box (Do-Si-Rack): Your choice of main dish and rice or salad served with mandoo (two chicken pot stickers), japchae noodle (stir-fried vermicelli with vegetables), two side dishes (pickled kimchi and pickled cucumber). I chose the galbi and steamed white rice. The galbi was juicy and tender. The japchae was decent. Overall, a good lunch. Support your local business. read more

Had at least 2 caterings with them by now. So I'm just adding to what was experienced before. On time delivery is a norm for them, which is a good habit to keep. Beef Bulgogi is juicy, Green Leaf is finely chopped but soaked in the flavor. My favorite this time is the Braised Tofu. Tofu are cut in big chunks, fried on the outside and then tossed in a sauce, flavorful and tasty. I wish I scooped up more! Japchae is done right as well, I like the thinly sliced zucchini mixed in. Overall consistent quality and dependable taste. read more

So we went here on a whim for a little lunch date. We were tired of the main stream restaurants in the area and wanted something fresher. This was just that! I genuinely enjoyed the food and the vibe of the place is very cute. The service is more self-service with the meal brought to you. I would say the only difference I would make to my future order is: Make spicier, and request more kimchi. I did order the chicken with spicy original and the overall meal was very sweet from what I was expecting. Luckily in the self serve area they had spicy sauces. read more

Nice Korean joint that's been around for years. I ordered for my family via doordash today and was very impressed. Good food that's easy on the wallet. We ordered the Mandu, Classic Bibimbap Bowl, and Chicken Japchae. All the dishes were fresh, and tasty. The Japchae in particular was very impressive. We are big fans of Korean Glass Noodles and we've had it at some of the top rated Korean restaurants in the Bay Area. But TBH the one we had today from Bibimbowl impressed us more than most we've had in the Bay Area over the years. I'll definitely order again! read more

Was in the mood for Korean food while on a trip to Mountain View, so I thought I'd check this place out after seeing the good reviews. There is a decent amount of parking as it's placed alongside a couple of other restaurants, but was unfortunately crowded and took a long while to get as a result. We decided to try ordering through a QR code they had on their window that led to their website, but the website was exceptionally wonky for us and for some reason refused to accept the cards we were trying to use to pay. Once we figured it out the wait time took around 40 minutes. The good news about all of this is that the food was very good. The Classic Bowl and the Japchae were both very tasty, and gave me a nice feeling of homeliness that took the form of the better meals that my family used to cool. Would I come back? In all honesty, I'm not sure. The wait time made my bad mood even more unpleasant, but I am interested in some of the other dishes on their menu. Only time can tell, and if that day ever comes, I hope the ordering and waiting goes a lot smoother than it did now. read more

Our family loves Bibimbowl and wish they were open on weekends! The kids never leave their bowls unfinished. We typically order the hot stone bowl when we're there. Veggies, Tofu, and Teriyaki Sauce with eggs added. Highly recommend!!! As I type this, yum, feels like I gotta make another run! Taking away a star as there have been times when service and care was missing. read more

Bibimbowl - Hot Stone Create Your Own Bibimbowl Edamame - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

was unsure what to have for lunch and decided to try this place and was glad we did. The place is not hard to find and has plenty of parking in this plaza so it wasn't difficult to find a space. It is located in an area with other places to dine but we elected for bibimbowl as their menu looks appetizing. It is clean and the staff are friendly. We ordered tofu beef soup which included rice, japchae glass noodles, cucumber and kimchi. We didn't wait long for our meal to be served and once ready it was hot and fresh, it also tasted so good! Enjoyed our meal and will definitely return again. read more

We had dinner here a few days ago because we checked it out on Yelp. It seemed to have a lot of good reviews and we wanted to try out some Korean food. The prices seemed pretty reasonable too. We got there and it was more like a take out kind of place. They did have some indoor seating so it was kind of like a casual dining kind of place. You order at the counter and then find a seat. They bring the food to you. All of the utensils, water, and napkins are on a side shelf so you just serve yourself. The food came out pretty quick. You could order the bibimbap in a regular plastic bowl or in a stone pot. I ordered it in the stone pot for a more authentic kind of experience. Mine came out last but it was okay. My daughter and husband got the tofu soup. My daughter got the combination with the seafood and the beef and my husband got the beef. My daughter got it plain with no spice and my husband got it spicy. My bibimbap was pretty good but it was really hard to eat. There were only plastic utensils so it was hard to scrape the rice off the bottom of the stone pot. It felt like my plastic fork was gonna break. My egg was overcooked so it didn't really spill over when I cut through it for the bibimbap. My daughter's tofu soup was different. We are used to eating tofu soup back home and this one had different kind of ingredients in it. It was a little unusual with the zucchini and carrots. She loved the seafood part of it and ate up all the clams. The broth was a little different from what we are used to. My husband didn't like his tofu soup at all. He said the broth was very salty and he didn't like his dish. Overall, it was an interesting concept to bring bibimbap to casual dining. I enjoyed mine but hope that they would have metal spoons instead of plastic ones. It was good to try it out since we don't have anything like this kind of place where we live. read more

I got their classic bibimbowl! Portion size was great! It's just enough to make you satisfied, but not overdone to make you feel full or like you wasted food. A lot of flavor in the bowl itself. Love this place and will definitely be back. read more

Have I really not reviewed this place yet?? This is my go-to for delicious bibimbap. The ingredients are fresh and the gochujang sauce is amazing. I love the runny egg which just totally completes the dish. I don't know why but bibimbap just doesn't taste the same anywhere else. One day, I'd love to try their tofu soup too! read more

I like coming here on my lunch break whenever I'm craving a tofu and rice plate. Their tofu dish is perfect for vegans or vegetarians, and the customer service is always great. The food tastes consistently delicious, and I love pairing it with their miso soup. The portions are generous and definitely filling, making it a tasty and affordable option. read more

I've only ordered takeout from here so far and it was pretty good! I chose the "Fresh bowl" with half rice and half salad, plus spicy pork, a hard boiled egg, kimchi, cucumber salad and original sauce (gochujang). I like that you can customize to your liking and everything was fresh, tasty, fast, and well balanced. Great for a work lunch or a quick dinner! read more

Went here for lunch. Got the Hot Stone - Chicken and Shrimp with Brown rice. As the name suggests, the bowl was super hot (almost sizzling) which enhanced the taste of the food. The chicken and shrimp were very tasty and the food was hot till the last bite. Loved the crispy brown rice that got stuck to the stone :D For obvious reasons the hot stone is available when you dine is, so would recommend eating here to get a better experience. read more

Bibimbowl - Hot Stone, Chicken and Shrimp, Brown Rice - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

my work orders from bibimbowl occasionally and this time i opted for the bibimbap (not stone pot). it is a reasonable price given how expensive korean food tends to be nowadays. the bowl comes with a lot of vegetables, marinated egg, and i added beef. the dish was flavorful with the sauce and overall it was a pretty healthy meal. the portion is not super big, so if you have a big appetite you may not be full with this meal. i like the option to add more protein. next time, i would like to try the dolsot hot stone bibimbap, though i imagine it's better in the restaurant vs. ordering online as my meal was not very warm. read more

Bibimbowl - bibimbap with beef - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I first found this place on door dash years ago. They handled the group order well. This time, we came in for a sit down lunch. We ordered at the front. They were kind, although slightly distracted with the prep for all the online orders they were preparing. Eventually we got our order in and sat down. // Tofu soup. The flavor of the soup was fine. The tofu chunks were huge, and in themselves had no flavor. I guess i would have preferred more flavor in the tofu itself, or at least cut into smaller chunks to spread the flavor out. // Hot stone bibimbop. The ingredients were fine, but the stone pot wasn't that hot. There was barely any crispy rice sticking on the outside. The veggies were crisp, and the beef provided a tasty source of iron. We tried the standard bibimbop sauce, and it has just the right amount of spiciness. // Chapchae. Good, with beef. Lots of veggies, and everything was nicely presented. It was in a togo box, and we took the leftovers home. read more

Takeout order: 6.5/10 Classic Bowl with Galbi $18 - the galbi meat was juicy and slightly on the chewy side with great flavor. everything else was pretty average about their bibimbap bowl in taste (bean sprouts, zucchini, radish, kimchi, egg). Portion size really small for all of the above (meat, veggies, rice). I wouldn't say it is worth the price. read more

Really good fast bibimbap. The service was quick and easy. Ordering was very fast. There's a good amount of seating inside. I got a spicy pork bowl and the cashier gave me a free miso soup along with it. The flavor is really good and savory. I prefer this style of bibimbap. read more

Bibimbowl - Hot stone bibimbap with tofu and gochujang, side of miso soup. - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Well lit narrow space, with about 6-8 four seater tables lined against the wall. I think they do a lot of takeout orders since there's an organized shelf labeled with Uber/Doordash pickups at the front. Menu is pretty straightforward, build your own type. We ordered the items to dine-in on a Friday night, but took at least 15 minutes. This was much longer than expected, as I was thinking most of the items are pre-cooked and just needed to reheat (at least for the set) and tofu stew definitely doesn't take that long either. Service was friendly though. Clean atmosphere for quick dinner and/or catching up with a friend with no one to kick you out. Self-serve water and utensil station, and even high chairs in case you have a kid :) read more

Explored further to try this place. I was intrigued as the prices were reasonable This place is more of a takeout joint. It's pretty much self serve style. I ordered the beef tofu soup and was surprised pay first. Gave $2 tip. Probably should not have but the price was under $20 before tip and final was $22. Again, I'm surprised cuz tofu soup at korean places I've tried is always around $26 after tax and tip So the reason why I should not have tip was cuz it's put ur own dishes and trash away kind of place. Like the mall. Pickup ur order and find a table and clean up after yourself afterwards... On to the food... the banchan sides were minimal but sufficient. Japchae, cucumbers, some bean curd slices underneath the japchae and chinese style kimchi. Yes, the kimchi here is more of a taiwanese style... called pao cai. It is pickled cabbage I get when I eat stinky tofu in Taiwan. The tofu soup was very good. So this is a nice find for slightly cheaper Korean food. Without tip it would be under $20 for tofu soup. Good deal.. saves me a drive to hancook supermarket a few more blocks down to El Camino. read more

Bibimbowl - Beef tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came in around 11:45am on a Thursday. Place was half-packed (and got more packed as we dined there), lots of seating indoors and a handful outdoors as well. Upon entering, you see the menu (with some spelling errors "dinning" heehee, makes it feel like a true mom-and-pop vibe), and you order and pay up front. Heads up, ordering tofu soup takes an additional 15-16 minutes, so if you're in a rush, probably should order a rice dish. I love that the rice entrees have a brown rice option. If I recall correctly, there's no additional charge for brown rice, which is fantastic. (My OBGYN would approve as he's banned me from white rice for the rest of this pregnancy, boo). You can order drinks up front and grab the bottled options from the fridge next to the register. They don't tell you up front, but they do have a complimentary carafe of iced water around the corner that you can help yourself to, so don't feel compelled to purchase a bottled water for $1.50 unless you really are against sharing hydration :) There's spoons, forks, knives, and napkins at the station as well. They also have 2 high chairs available in the back if you are dining with little ones. Food came within 5-6 minutes of ordering, and it was exciting to see a hot stone bowl sizzle before me. I'm a little bummed that the egg came runny despite me asking for it to be well done (preggo and all), so sadly I had to disseminate it against the hot stone to cook it. The bowl is hot enough to just crisp a tiny handful of rice grains, but doesn't seem to be as hot as you'd expect from some pricier Korean establishments. The food was pretty good though! The best I've had, but definitely hit the spot. All in all, decent place to grab a bite of Korean, but you'll want to go to a pricier spot if you want the real deal. For the price, it's a great option and I'm happy with this new find. read more

Cute, fast-casual Korean restaurant that serves amazing food!! I ordered the Box (Spicy Pork) and was blown away at how good all the components were. My only complaint was that I wished there was a little more food since everything was so delicious. I'm back on the East coast and still crave the box from time to time. Spicy Pork: Perfectly flavorful and paired well with all the other parts of the box. Japchae: The blandest item in the box but still enjoyable. Mandoo: Ginger and chicken flavor. read more

Average. Neither below average nor above average...literally just average. This is one of those places where food wasn't as great but portion sizes were good. Ambience isn't excellent but they were fast. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit them again but then if I'm super hungry and want something quick then I might try out other options on their menu. I just tried their chicken teriyaki box with sides but I need to try out other options before recommending them! read more

4.5 stars overall! I was really impressed with the chicken bento that I got for lunch. Apparently my coworkers really love the spicy pork bentos here too. The bentos come with meat, rice, japchae, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, 2 fried mandu, and a miso soup. Very big portion for lunch. The chicken was so tender and juicy! It was seasoned perfectly. Not too salty. Paired very well with the rice and japchae. The japchae was really good too! The perfect amount of sesame oil. The noodles were chewy and had a good texture. read more

We were visiting the area and a friend, so we stopped here for my bibimbap craving. We all ordered a classic bowl and were very happy we came here! The three of us ordered a classic bowl with white rice, galbi beef, and teriyaki sauce. Delicious! It wasn't spicy at all, thank goodness. I like that they also offer vegetarian options. They offer a box meal (do-si-rak) / tofu box and soon tofu. They're adding tacos to their menu soon. Wished we could have tried that! Good prices. Clean interior. Outdoor seating available. It's a great place to grab lunch. We'll be back! read more

It is a clean strip mall restaurant but I expected more from the reviews and photos. The food was decent but the dine-in presentation of super hot tofu soup in a disposable plastic bowl and the banchan is in an airline-like plastic snack box was a big turn off. That compounded with it coming to $21 all-in was not over the top, but not worth it for what you get. There are plenty other better places in the Santa Clara / Sunnyvale area. read more

I have been curious about this place and got to try it out for lunch today. I ordered: Hot stone bibimbap: $15.99 overall it was tasty but it was missing the crunchy layer of rice on the bottom (the whole point of the stone bowl). Fast service, gets busy during lunchtime. read more

We were just looking to eat something yummy quick and close by and Bibimbowl popped up on our Yelp search. I was hesitant at first but after trying it out. I highly recommend for those who craves Korean food but don't have a lot of time to drive out and wait in line for food. This place is usually packed for lunch but is actually pretty empty for dinner. Plenty of parking, food is really yummy and it comes with side dishes as well! I got the combo tofu soup with brown rice and all my friends got the bento box combo! read more

Pre covid edition (early 2020) We all ordered their Hot stone bowl with white rice, bulgogi! (I don't remember which side sauce we ordered) Quality: 5/5, delicious bibimbap! (another favorite place althought pretty far from me, I also enjoy Omogari in DTSJ). Meat was cooked perfectly, runny egg yolk, and I love the rice with their gojujang sauce bottle at the table (I think it's pre-made with other ingredients as well!) Service: 5/5, waitress was very patient when we were deciding and super nice! Would come again when we get the chance :3 read more

Bumping my rating because I've honestly never had a bad meal here. I usually get the dosirak with spicy pork. The meat is always tender, crispy, and properly sauced, and each side is perfectly prepared. Even the miso soup tastes delicious. The woman at the front counter is always very nice to me -- not sure if she's the owner or a long-time employee. When I'm wondering where to eat in Mountain View, Bibimbowl has become my trusty standby option. read more
