Amazing beef bulgogi! Well balanced with good portion of rice, shredded cabbage & carrots. $15.99 Lots of add in options like shrimp, chicken, extra beef or egg ranging between $2-$6. I wish I asked for extra hot sauce as that would add the extra zing! Location is small so you could eat there if not too busy or just take out. Affordable bulgogi with noodles, rice or bimibap meals! Go outside while you wait for it to cook unless you like the smell of bulgogi in your clothes. read more

I don't think I could give this place a stronger recommendation. I absolutely love eating here for lunch. They have a solid take out bibimbap (no stone bowl or crispy rice). But for what it is, it's absolutely delicious. Service is great and a quick turnaround from ordering. read more

I got the R5. Beef Bulgogi with rice (12.99 + tax) and the N3. Beef Bulgogi with noodle (13.49 + tax), and the total was 31.92$ (~15.96$ per dish). It wasn't terrible. I might be wrong but I questioned the freshness of the ingredients a bit (vegetables tasted a bit like they might have been frozen at one point, the meat was an interesting consistency, etc...). The flavour of the sauce was good. I think the true selling point is the meal/quantity/price ratio given the location (right at the heart of Downton Toronto). Not too sure whether I'd come here again...perhaps in a pinch read more

Simple. Delicious. Quick. There is little more you can ask for from a meal like this. Nice tender beef with veggies and good flavours. There are options for rice or noodle and extras like a fried egg on top. I'm definitely opting for the egg next time. It's a nice, warm filling meal that is no fuss! Minimal seating, so its more of a takeout spot! read more

Bob's Bulgogi - a meal in a basket - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Filling I have wanted to come to this place for a long time now as I have read many positive reviews but of course I like to procrastinate so I haven't tried Bob's Bulgogi until now. The shop itself is not very big and it's easy to miss from the street. There are a limited number of seats in the shop but when I was there the seating was pretty much all blocked or taken by people waiting for their takeout order. Otherwise this is a pleasant little shop with a wonderful smell of food to keep you hungry while you wait for your order. Speaking of food, I ordered the spicy bulgogi with rice because of course everything tastes better spicy. The portions you get are good with lots of veggies and meat so it will definitely fill you up. Taste wise, the first few bites I took were definitely spicy but I am not sure whether I adjusted to it or whether there wasn't enough spice but I did not taste much spiciness outside of those first few bites. Otherwise the bulgogi tasted good and I really enjoyed it. In terms of service the gentleman taking orders was friendly and efficient. You get a card with a number when you order so the prices is orderly which is great given how many busy this place was. The food is made to order so you will need to be a little patient but it is definitely worth the wait. In summary, do not do what I did and procrastinate. Go check out Bob's Bulgogi and if nothing else you will leave with a full belly. read more

Recommend for a quick and affordable Korean comfort meal. We tried the spicy beef bulgogi and beef bibimbap. Both were authentic and tasty and the price was reasonable. Lots of fresh veg in the bibimbap and it was plated nicely. Owner was nice as well. If you're looking to dine in, be aware that the dining area consists of two counters with barstools and the area is not very large. The smell from the kitchen also travels so your clothing will smell like bulgogi by the end of your meal. Just something to note if you're returning to the office or meeting people afterwards. read more

I was concerned about a Korean restaurant with the name Bob in it. I thought to myself, don't tell me this is cultural appropriation. Thankfully it was not. The restaurant is run by Korean staff. The restaurant is tiny! It's definitely a take-out restaurant and only has seating for 4. If you do decide to stay here, you'll be in the way of customers waiting for their take-out orders. The line up gets pretty long and you have to wait quite a bit. There are only 2 people cooking the food and the cashier does double duty building orders. The food was decent. I definitely enjoyed the seasoning on the beef. It was flavorful and tender. The other ingredients had very little flavor, but that's expected. I thought that the sunny-side up egg was a little overcooked. The dish comes with a cup of hot sauce to add flavor. Overall, the bibimbap is just ok. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Beef bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

While on vacation in Toronto, I needed a Korean food fix. Bob's Bulgogi was within walking distance from my hotel so decided to give it a try. My family and I got there 20 mins before they closed. It seems like more of a take out place, but they had about 8 bar stools to dine in-which we did. We ordered bibimbap and udon stir fry noodles. The noodles were a hit with my kids. Perfect amount of noodles to meat and vegetable ratio. The flavor was great- not too spicy or salty. Bibimbap was delicious as well. It didn't come with traditional bibimbap vegetables, but we liked it! The owners were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Close to my work. You can smell it before you enter. If you don't want your clothings to smell like in the kitchen, don't go in. Expect a line at lunch time. Don't expect the line to be too quick. They made to order. They know how to marinate the meat correctly. Let me keep this short: 1 - Go for beef, not chicken and definitely not the tofu (made that mistake once and will never do it again) 2 - Go for rice, not noodles. 3 - Go for spicy (that is average mild). 4 - Don't even bother getting bimbimbop (in a foil container from the fridge at the back, not order to make). 5 - Get the free miso soup on your way out (or when you are waiting in line). Service is OK. Don't imagine they will remember you as they are so busy and crowded. Don't think of sit and dine there. They did have a table there but you are better off going to the food read more

I've been coming here for years (nearly 10) but I had a craving and made my way down to this awesome joint. Small, quaint and awesome local spot. Portions are generous, economical and most importantly, delicious. Bonus? Complementary Miso Soup The owners are absolutely lovely and always so kind. I really recommend this place and hope that those around the Eaton Centre make a quick stop here for some delish food. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Top: Spicy Beef Bulgogi with Rice Bottom: Spicy Chicken Bulgogi with Noodles - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great lunch spot. Come early as there was a long line for lunch and it can take a while to get your order.

It's our go to spot for lunch, we have already been there several times. Don't get scare away by the line, its pretty worth the wait. But honestly please get a bigger place, u are such a popular restaurant already but the place the tiny. It's so crowded and it's hard to breathe in there. My fav combo is spicy beef bulgogi rice/udon with sunny side egg on top!! DO NOT FORGET THE EGG it is amazing!!!!!! They also give u free miso with the purchase of bulgogi, u just have to serve urself! read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a small hidden gem downtown. I had never had Korean food before and my colleague had introduced this place to me. The portions are huge and filing. I had one of the rice bulgogi bowls. It was incredibly flavourful and sweet. Inside is very small, but there are a few little stools for you to eat at - however, during Covid it's takeout only. It's definitely a great spot for quick takeout and smells so delicious even from down the street. read more

Although the address of this restaurant says Victoria, it's actually located around the corner on Richmond St. I was planning on dining in, but there was only seating for about 4 people. The menu included both vegetarian and meat options. I went with beef bulgogi for $8. It was a generous portion of tender bulgogi beef stir fried with vegetables (onion, carrots, green and red bell peppers, and mushrooms) over rice. The sauce was on the sweet side, but maybe because I went with the mild version instead of spicy. A small side of kimchi is also included. The service was fast. There's a self serve miso station (broth) where you can scoop your own miso that comes with every entree. You can also add some green onion to the soup. read more

I was really hungry and so I decided to come here after lunch hour to try this place out. At that time, I think they ran out of free miso soup, from what I read in the reviews that they usually give out. When I went there, there were no customers so I ordered right away. I got the spicy bulgogi with rice and had to wait around 10-15 minutes to make which could mean that they make the food to order during that time. The food come piping hot and I devoured it within minutes. It was a splendid portion, the bulgogi was not that spicy and also it was enough to fill me up for the day. Service was also quick and friendly though I did not really interact with them as much. read more

Small and homey that's what I describe Bob's Bulgogi. If you do decide to stay, there are these 2 small tables that can barely fit 2 comfortably! Don't bring your date here.. or maybe you should if you want to be close to enough other?! Beef Bulgogi ($6.95) cooked right in front of you when ordered does smell good. I like how it is served on a real plate! Portion is decent for the price. Deco is quite neat with dark interior and funky keepsakes all around. Bob's Bulgogi is definitely A-OK if you have a snack attack in the area! read more

[Good] Food - Small menu, food is tasty but not as great as some others say. I guess for a takeout place it's not too bad. [Neutral] Slow - A little slow for lunch hour as their operation is quite small. There will be lineups so expect to wait for your food. [Worth it?] It's ok. Portion size is decent. Food is decent enough. read more

Bob's Bulgogi remains open during the COVID-19 pandemic (or was so in the week of March 16th) for delivery or take-out. I came by during lunch time as my place of work also remains open. The store is very small and was very quiet. I ordered the spicy beef bulgogi with rice. The portion sizes are HUGE, especially the carbs. The bulgogi was mixed in with cabbage and had a nice little kick to it. However, I feel like there was very little protein ): The lady pointed to the miso soup that was boiling on the side and gestured for me to help myself. The food is relatively cheap for downtown eats though. I'll come back and get something else next time I'm craving Korean food. read more

Went to Bob's bulgogi during lunch and it was hella packed! Had to wait around 20+ mins to order and get my food. The smell of bbq smoke can be overwhelming inside; and you will end up smelling like Chinese food when you leave the place. The food is mediocre and it's priced pretty decently! It was a bit too oily to my liking but that's expected for korean food. The bulgogi was flavourful but would've been better with more sauce. read more

Very fast service, the food was of good quality (didn't taste greasy or leave an oily film in your mouth) and a good amount of food for one person. Only thing is the air- it's stifling and hard to breathe upon first entry because of the smoke, so if you have trouble breathing keep that in mind. You get used to it after a bit. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Mild Beef Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto, Bob's Bulgogi hides on a side street in a very un-assuming and modest location. The place is very small and can only seat about 8 people. Whether you eat here or not doesn't matter though, as the real draw is the awesome food coming out of the kitchen. Per the name, Bulgogi is the special here. I had an order with shrimp and it was excellent. Just the right amount of spice, delicious shrimp and a pretty generous portion overall. I was also one of the lucky few able to eat onsite. I sat at a table facing the kitchen. The place can get jam packed at lunch time as you can imagine, so getting here a little before or after the lunch rush can make all the difference. Either way, you're in for a delicious and authentic meal. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Spicy shrimp bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Growing up in Scarborough, the Koya Japan in the Scarborough Town Centre food court was my go-to. Bob's Bulgogi reminded me exactly of that - more veggies than beef, with a sweet sauce over steamed rice. Good, not great, for a decent price - especially for downtown Toronto. Small location, blink and you'll miss it. read more

Visited for lunch on a Friday afternoon, and found this place to be very average. Located in the outskirts of the Financial District (more or less), decor is hip and stylish yet still quite homey and comforting. The menu has quite a variety of rice and noodle options. Service is also very pleasant and quick. The space isn't very large - there are a few stools/chairs if you'd like to sit in (not more than 4 to 5 stools/chairs), so this is more of a take-out place than sit in. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi with Rice for lunch, which cost me a little over $10.00 after taxes. However, portion size was quite small for what I paid (the food was placed in a small takeout box). While the beef texture was nice and tender, the flavour seemed plain and not marinated as well as other bulgogi dishes I've had in the city. It was a so-so stir-fry without all the spices and marinade you're used to. It was an okay meal but not more than average. I wouldn't recommend that you go out of your way to try this place out, as you'll most likely be disappointed by the food quality. However, if you're in the area and craving Korean food, it wouldn't hurt to stop by. It isn't a terribly bad choice, just keep in mind that the food will most likely be pretty ordinary. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Bulgogi Beef Lunch Box. - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A cute family run take out joint in downtown core. Beef Bibimbap I had is very bland. Served cold instead of the hot stone bowl, which lost some of the appeal. I mixed everything together before having it, but find the beef is really dry and basically all the flavor is from the hot sauce. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I just love the spicy beef bulgogi on rice... tender beef in a spicy bulgogi sauce (also available in a milder version that is sweeter) fried up with veggies, onions, peppers, carrots, mushrooms and served on top of rice or noodles, with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds. I always get it to go because the eat in area is very small. I have never been able to pick up for dinner, only lunch or late lunch. So if you see the hours listed as open until 7 pm, make sure to call first, any time I have called close to 5 they were closing soon. Also, they changed the name to Surasang, but we fans still call it Bob's Bulgogi, so don't get confused if they answer the phone Surasang when you place your order in advance to pick up. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Spicy beef Bulgogi on rice... Perfect on a cold winter day. - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pretty good. I've only had the noodles but from what I taste, it's not really that Korean (which is neither here nor there), but it's definitely a good choice for the downtown core for the price point and for it NOT being Manchu Wok or some b.s. The beef bulgogi in the noodles is pretty good but I find the sauce of the noodles themselves a little too westernized. It's definitely NOT just regular bulgogi sauce. Tastes like it's mixed with some sweet and sour sauce (like the kind that comes on sweet and sour pork). But overall a great flavour profile and I'm satisfied for $9. Cheap and cheerful. read more

Hidden just east of the busy financial district at the intersection of Victoria & Richmond streets, Bob's Bulgogi is a rare gem that serves up delicious bulgogi to those who are lucky enough to be in the know. It's quite small in here, so don't plan on dining in unless one of the four seats is available. Two are bar stool style and the other two are somewhat cramped benches at the front window. Aside from that small inconvenience, it's a dope takeout spot. Must-try items: Any Bulgogi dish The Bulgogi is as good as you'd expect it to be. I recommend the spicy beef. There's no doubt that I'll have everything on the menu before too long. Prices aren't too steep either, considering the portion sizes. They play hiphop, R&B and trap music which may catch you off guard. It didn't bother me at all. Definitely a dope little gem on the east side of downtown. read more

Came here during lunch time at around 1140 and the place was already pretty packed. Very small space - 4 seats, so likely you'll get your lunch, if you decide to eat around that time, to go. Service wise the lady behind the counter was very friendly and took my order quickly. I got the chicken bulgogi with rice which came to almost $10. Took around 10 minutes to get my order as there were a few orders ahead of me. The dish was very flavourful and yummy, but I thought the portion of the rice wasnt enough given the amount of chicken, but I'm not complaining! The more chicken the better! Free miso soup on the left side of the restaurant as well, which was flavourful and complimented the meal well. Overall would come back again to try the other dishes! My coworker got the bibimbap which looked delicious! read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Chicken bulgogi with rice - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was introduced to Bob's Bulgogi by a friend. The food is delicious and a good portion size. I usually can only eat half and save the rest for later. This place is popular and is pretty busy at lunch time and sometimes the line is out the door. I try and go before noon and after 1 pm to avoid the rush. You generally get your food within 10 minutes. The place is small and has seating for about 4 people by the windows. There are barstools too, but during busy hours people waiting for their food take up that space. read more

Food is good but back to back constant price increase is not acceptable, plus they cut down the portion as well as free miso soup, I don't think their rent is increased and the food cost increase is not as much as price increase. Sorry not going there any longer... read more

Went here for lunch at about 12:30 on a weekday. It was quite busy, took us about 30 min to get our food. Definitely aim for before/after the rush. Had the classic Beef Bulgogi. It was really good. The flavour was a bit milder than what I would have expected, but if that's coming from less salt+MSG than other places than awesome. I really enjoyed it, and will be going back. Great price, good food, and something interesting in the downtown core! read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Hidden gem in the heart of downtown Toronto. No joke - it is seemingly hidden if you don't know what you're looking for. Best bibimbop I've had, even better than any Korean restaurant on Bloor West. The bulgogi is very good as well. Any time I have this for lunch, I'm always asked where my food is from and where they can get it. Seriously. I recommend calling for pick up as it gets very busy. Also, don't expect to eat inside of the small restaurant. It doesn't take away from the experience because it's so hot in this little joint anyway. read more

The dish, the price, the atmosphere were all great. Can't wait to get back there. I had a bibimbap with beef and it was a good size portion that came with a free miso soup. Everything was cooked to a perfection and their rice is to die for. Very yammy.:) It is a good place for a quick lunch or to take out. Unfortunately it has only 4 seating places inside. read more

This place without a doubt, smells delicious when you walk by or open the door. Its a little hidden, so you may miss it if you're not looking. I think the portion size is good - not great. It's placed into a styrofoam container with rice on 1 half, and the meat and veggies on the other. It was very, very underwhelming and did not have enough sauce. Ended up trying it twice, and still unfortunately underwhelming. The "mild" has absolute no spice at all whatsoever - maybe the Spicy version has a little extra kick to it to take the flavour to the next level? It's NOT easy to get to if you're driving, so be sure you can walk over. They also are very busy during the lunch rush, so be prepared to wait 15 minutes plus if you go at that time. Also... *they have this weird lining inside the styrofoam and I don't like it - it sticks to the food. *there is extremely minimal seating inside *it is similar to a Teriyaki dish - but this is a Korean version PS: was so hungry, I forgot to take a picture. read more

Love the bibimbap at Bob's. Each order is made fresh. I've tried the beef, chicken and shrimp. I can't pick a favourite. It's the perfect combination of veggies protein and rice. I go at least once a week for lunch. Call ahead and order they don't have many seats there. read more

Bob's Bulgogi - Beef bibimbap!!! - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Bobs Bulgogi is run by a friendly couple serving up Korean food, fast food style. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi and asked for spicy, with noodles. The spicy was sniffling-and-drinking-2-bottles-of-water spicy! The sauce, despite the heat was good, but it seemed like it didn't really cook with the noodles long enough for the noodles to absorb the sauce and be flavoured. So it was sometimes super flavourful sometimes bland and chewy depending on the ratio of beef:noodle in your mouthful. I've only been here once and its debateable if I will go again despite the excellent, friendly and quick service. read more

Basically the same stir fry with sweet sauce that you can get from any other asian fusion place. I got the bulgogi and it didn't feel anything close to healthy. There are two items on the menu: bulgogi and bibimbap ( with a choice of tofu/shrimp/beef/chicken and rice/noodle) The prices fall towards $$ (definitely not $). The items are in the range of 10$-11$ after tax and it takes fairly long for them to get the order ready so I guess it wasn't really what I was expecting. read more

What a surprise to be walking down Richmond Street East and be greeted by wafting smells of cooked meat. It was lunchtime: I had a throbbing headache and my stomach was growling loudly. Not familiar with the area, I made an impulsive turn on Richmond and saw a small line-up. The wind carried the sweet smell of cooked meat and I embraced it like a zombie wanting more brains to its origin. Bob's Bulgogi is a tiny restaurant. It's more of a take-out place but you can eat in, enjoying your meals on bar stools and watching life walk past Richmond. I've had their bulgogi beef ($8.95) and on my second visit, their vegetarian bibimbob ($7.95), and was impressed with both of my orders. The beef was well-cooked, the veggies were fresh and they used sticky steamed white rice. The dishes weren't greasy at all, mild in its spicy content and I didn't leave a single morsel on my plate. You'll always be greeted warmly at Bob's Bulgogi. The owners and staff are very friendly and it's obvious that they make customer service their top priority, as well as their delicious food. read more
