I'm not sure whether you can call this place authentic Korean cuisine or 'Korean-inspired'. Is it worth the visit? Read on... THE ROSES: The food itself is actually good; quite good, as a matter of fact. Ingredients are top-quality and the dishes are very tasty. Pretty much everything - including sauces - are made in-house (and I DO love their sauces - particularly the Hot Bop sauce, which is amazing !). Staff was very pleasant. THE THORNS: If you come by car, getting here can be a challenge. Street parking is very limited. There is a pay lot about a block away, but at $5 that may seem a bit steep if you're just wanting to pop in to grab some pickup (it appears most of their business is 'to-go'). Traffic on Airport Way, particularly during rush hour, can be really bad. Inside dining space is rather limited. There is no table service; you order either online on your own device or use a touchpad in the restaurant that isn't the quickest to navigate. This can be a challenge if you have people waiting to use it. This place also seems a bit expensive for what you're getting: a 'Mom's Medley bibimap bowl with an extra egg, extra meat, side pickle and sauce with a cup of tea set me back over $35. THE VERDICT: I'm honestly not sure the food and service (which are great!) completely offset the hassles of traffic and parking. With a total bill for the Mrs. and I being around $80 (and no booze!), we're starting to get into a Fine Dining price point. I guess if you can avoid going nuts on the extras, you can get this down more into the good Value for Money range. Recommend. read more

Such a great addition to the Georgetown strip. This is one of my go-to lunch spots when I'm in town for work. I've mainly had three Mom's Medley and it's delicious! Their homemade sauces are the perfect touch to your bowl. read more

Thank you for bringing back the salmon and the jalapeño soy sauce!!! Also, love your vegan daikon kimchi - yum! Today, I ordered 2 mom's medley - one with salmon and the jalapeño soy (fave) and one with just veggies and tahini sauce - both are delicious! read more

BOPBOX is one of my favorite go to restaurants. They are quick, have lots of vegan options and the food is great. The place is really cute and can be fun to eat at, especially in the summer. It's pretty small, so we generally do take out. My personal favorite is the Yakisoba with spicy tofu. It's got so much flavor, and the portion is pretty large. It's one of those meals you know you should save some leftovers but then eat anyway and regret it. The best. Folks at the counter at super helpful and kind. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Korean style place to eat. read more

I saw this place all over my Instagram and had to try it. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon before taking it down to a park for a nice picnic. BopBox is located in Georgetown so parking was a little difficult to find but the place was just so cute and cannot miss. Amazing service and the person helping us was so sweet and helpful since it was our first time here. We ordered the Spicy Bulgogi Rice Bowl with an egg and the Bopbox'd Bento with Grilled Chicken Breast. For drinks we got some Made in House specials which were the Matcha Mint Brewed Tea and the Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte. Made in House is the sister of Bopbox and they also have some amazing options for Korean lunch plates as well. The Spicy Bulgogi Rice Bowl was tender and surprisingly not too spicy. The ratio of purple Korean rice to the meat was just perfect. However, my favorite was the Bopbox'd Bento with Grilled Chicken Breast. The Bento had so many different things to try that paired well with meat. I loved the Japchae with the salad along with the crispy kale tempura! Next time I go I think I am going to get the Bento again but with the spicy bulgogi meat, I think that would be the best combination! Cannot say nice enough things about Bopbox which makes me want to check out Made in House. read more

I had heard good things about Bopbox and had been wanting to check them out for quite awhile! However, I don't make it down to Georgetown very often so it took me awhile! I was able to visit on 7/29/20 and was happy to see that they are open during covid (at least, as of 7/29) -- I did takeout, but believe there were a few small tables you could sit at outside. I opted for the Mom's medley (bibimbap) and the chap chae w/ bulgogi, At first glance it seemed like the prices were a tad high (as compared to prices at other Korean/Korean-fusion places) BUT, once i opened the food at home and took a bite, I realized the prices are well justified. The food is gorgeous (lots of attention to detail) which also carries through in the flavors. For the Mom's Medley, you can choose protein, rice, and sauce. I opted for the tofu, which I was skeptical about because at some places, it's not the freshest/greatest texture. Here, the tofu was chewy (in a good way) and almost reminded me of chicken. I love veggies, so was so happy that there were TONS of veggies on here (mushrooms, zucchini, cabbage, corn, etc.) and the crispy kale was a unique addition for sure! We added on the cucumber kimchi as well ($1) and I recommend doing so. :) As far as ordering, etc. goes, the restaurant is laid out well so you're able to keep a distance from the staff (and do a contactless payment w/ your credit card). My only minor suggestions for improvement -- it would be awesome if there was brown rice as an option, and in the chap chae, the bulgogi was a tad sparse. I will definitely recommend this place to friends family for a healthy, yet satisfying meal! read more

I usually don't love Korean (or Korean inspired) food nowadays bc it tends to lose the best authentic flavors by trying to be different or trendy or more American-friendly. Bopbox really made me happy. I like the flavors and the changes just made the food more colorful, more textures -- all things that work with traditional Korean flavor. I had the regular bibimbap but got two eggs bc I didn't understand the ordering method .. but if I go there again, I know how to do it. The service was very attentive and really working hard to make sure everyone had a clean place to sit and had their food quickly. All good things here. Definitely go! read more

Bopbox - Bibimbap with cucumber kimchi (pickles) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is an absolutely fantastic restaurant in Georgetown. Delicious and creative Korean food. There's a lot of variety available including a number of delicious side dishes. They don't serve alcohol. So it's a great place to stop to eat a delicious dinner before you bar hop up and down Airport Way. The staff is very friendly and helpful and everything they serve is delicious in my experience. They do a brisk takeout business but they also have very cozy and comfortable seating inside so you can sit and eat. Try their bento with either the ribeye or the salmon. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly. read more

My group of friends was really craving some Korean food so we stopped by. Greatest choice of the weekend! It's a small spot, but with absolutely massive flavors and Bop Bowls...haha. I ordered the bulgogi jap chae bowl and put some sriracha on top - I couldn't stop eating it. Even after I was stuffed and uncomfortable, I had to eat the entire bowl because it was that good. It was served on top of rice so it was the best of both worlds for me! Since I was on a short weekend trip, I didn't get a chance to come back but I thought about it the entire time I was in Seattle! An absolute MUST if you're in the area. read more

Super quick and friendly service on a Saturday night! Good food, great portions. We ordered for pick up and they were super friendly and go us to-go utensils and everything. read more

Ordered for delivery and was disappointed. Bulgogi beef was ok, yakisoba was pretty bland, wings were a bit soggy and the sauce was meh. Overall, everything just lacked flavor. read more

Such good food. Small place so mostly a takeout joint but thoroughly enjoyed my Bipmbap. Will bring family here on my next trip into the SODO area read more

From past pictures, it looks like they had more seating, more menu selections, and food was plated in real bowls. Right now, they are using takeout boxes and only have two tables and a couple of bar seats. We got the bento's and were happy with our food. The kale tempura was especially good. We helped ourselves to the drinks in the fridge. While I don't mind the self-service nature of the place, I wish they were able to find enough staff to make it a full service restaurant with a better ambiance. I would go back for the bento, but I might do takeout instead. Not really a hang out place. read more

I am hooked on their food. Wish I was closer and would definitely eat there once a week. The portions are great and consistent. Definitely recommend any to stop in. read more

The best Korean food I can find in my area! We thoroughly enjoyed the bibimbap - a dish that is truly hard to disappoint. We also ordered the yakisoba with pork belly which was pretty decent but the next time we're back I definitely want explore more of the other Korean options. Our bill was on the pricier end but I would say worth the money. read more

We decided to try this place after hearing a lot of compliments about their vegan options and it was the best decision. The restaurant is not big but very clean and organized. The food was amazing, so far this place has the best mushroom tempura, the mushrooms are really thick and juicy, we love the spicy sauce that goes with it, they match really well , the other dishes were delicious too. The only tiny minus point is it's hard to find a parking space, we came in around 6pm but it's not a big deal for a good restaurant, we will definitely come back. read more

I've only been here once, but I loved the Bulgogi Ribeye dish along with the spicy daikon kimchi. It's cool that you can purchase the various kimchi selections and bring it home with you to eat later! BOPBOX houses HAUS MYLK Plant-Based Beverages, which I'm curious to try as well. This place is super tiny inside and located in the Georgetown area where it's difficult to find parking. I'd recommend picking up your order rather than dining in because it does get busy! I'm definitely looking forward to eating here again and trying new dishes. read more

Fantastic lunch spot. Had the bulgogi ribeye bowl, it was outstanding. Great flavor, good portion, perfect for lunch. A little bit spendy, but you get what you pay for. The woman working the counter was wonderful. Cheerful, friendly, with a big smile on her face. A nice touch was after inputting my name on the kiosk for my order , she referred to me by name multiple times when I was there. Highly recommend. read more

The perfect place for a quick lunch during the workday. I came here with my friend to grab lunch on a Wednesday. It's a pretty small place with a few seating options but we were easily able to grab a seat. It looks like it's mostly a pick-up/delivery place. You put your order in through the front kiosk and they'll have it ready within ten minutes. We ordered bulgogi ribeye bibimbop and spicy pork bibimbop. The bowls are pretty big filled with carrots, cabbage, crispy kale, broccoli, and rice. They're about $17 a bowl but if you're not too hungry, definitely can last for two meals. I would have liked the option to select two sauces because I couldn't decide between the hot/spicy sauce and ginger tahini. I ended up getting the hot/spicy sauce it was super good! I also wish the egg was a little more runny. There's also noodles, rice, sweets, and drinks to order as well. Many options! Not sure if I'd come back but it was a tasty lunch! read more

Bopbox - Ribeye bulgogi bibimbop and spicy pork bibimbop - Asian Fusion Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had to run an errand in the Georgetown area, so we decided to try Bopbox for dinner. They are open during Covid-19, but it was takeout only. I ordered the Bulgogi Ribeye bowl, which is meat with a soy-garlic marinade, onions, scallions, topped with toasted sesame seeds and sliced cucumber, and served with your choice of rice (white, black, or cauliflower). I enjoyed my meal, but it seemed kind of plain. I know you can add a bunch of extra toppings, but they all cost extra money and I wasn't sure what would taste good together. If we go here again, I'd probably order Mom's Medley Bibimbop instead. I haven't tried it, but it sounds and looks really good. It comes with a bunch of interesting veggies and your choice of protein (tofu, chicken, beef, pork, or salmon). The person who took our order was pretty nice and our food only took about 5-10 minutes to be ready. I would go here again the next time I'm in Georgetown. read more

I got Moms Medley Bibimbop with (a pinch of) Ribeye. :/ Had a fresh variety of ingredients, but nothing special of the flavor (I got the gf tahini sesame sauce) and lacking in terms of filling for the price (20 some dollars for 1/3c veggies, MAYBE 2oz of shaved ribeye, and a cup of purple rice). The workers are nice and the aesthetic is hip and adorable, but it seems like another overpriced Instagram trap lunch spot. read more

Georgetown location. First time visit. Had Mom's Medley Bibimbop. Was really good but, sorry, have to take a star for the price.

Great Kim chee. It's a build your own bowl model, kinda like a subways or chipotle for Korean, Only way better. Just go, order take out as seating is limited, and enjoy. If you don't like Korean food then.. welll.. probably the wrong place read more

BOPBOX @bopbox... "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." For starters, I love that they are women-owned and they make made-to-order legit and creative modern Korean dishes. They also change things up often by having a seasonal rotating menu. I can taste the freshness, quality of all the ingredients, and the love and care they put into the food they make from scratch daily. Not to mention, how they try do their best to accommodate your dietary needs and preferences. Finally, their location in the cool and funky Georgetown neighborhood gives me another good reason to go over there and explore the ever-evolving new businesses and exciting goings-on in that once overlooked part of town. If you're debating where to eat next, go to BopBox. It's healthy, fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Happy Friday and weekend, y'all!!! "Dare yourself to try something new!"

If I had to describe the food, it would've along the lines of Korean inspired modern Asian cuisine. With that said, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and quality of the food offered at Bopbox! If you're looking for more traditional Korean food, I definitely wouldn't recommend this place BUT if you're willing to try new takes and spins on Korean food, then definitely would recommend giving BopBox a try! The components of the lunch bento were all flavorful and paired nicely with one another. Bulgogi was good and the purple rice was a nice surprise! Japchae was a bit too salty and heavy on the soy in comparison to a more traditional rendition of the dish but still paired well with the rest of the dish! The fried kale though was an unexpectedly amazing! Could definitely just eat a tub of that on the side with some rice. In summary, the dish was light, packed with flavor and variety, and was in my opinion a well done take on a Korean lunch box. Parking is all street and seating is limited but worth picking up for a quick bite! read more

I got a Bulgogi BOPBOX'D BENTO, which had a wonderful variety of banchan (sides). It really felt like a "home made meal" but also very tasty. I absolutely loved the sweet potato japchae noodles. Even more surprising was how much I loved the kale tempura. It may look like just little crispy fried leaves but there's so much flavor packed into those little bites. read more

Good lunch spot! Parking can be found on Airport Way. Expect a wait for a seat/table! My girlfriends and I came to have lunch. I ordered the beef bulgogi bi bim bop which was delicious! You get a choice of grains, I chose white rice. It had squash, cucumbers, julienned carrots, red cabbage, bits of kale, topped with a sunny side egg. I recommend ordering it with the OG hot sauce. The beef was nice and tender. It was delicious! The portion was bigger than expected and served in a cute pot. You also get a side of pickled veggies/daikon. I really like the easy concept. Will definitely come back. read more

I haven't finished my meal but I felt compelled to write a review mid-meal! Kimchi fried rice with chicken, all the way. Sure I have had Kimchi fried rice before but they don't compare to Bop Box version. The restaurant is off the beaten path (I've only been to Seattle 3 times). Not a huge place but with all the Door Dashers and Uber Eats drivers rolling through, this clearly is not a hidden gem but rather the brightest one around. Too bad I'm only in town for a limited time otherwise I'd have to hit this up every night of my trip. read more

This place has been on my list for quite a while now & I'm so glad we finally got to try them out! We ordered online for pick up. We ordered 4 things to try: Spicy garlic cucumbers 10/10 - perfectly balanced Ribeye yakisoba - the beef was tender & the noodles tasted like yakisoba 8/10 Mom's Bibimbop - love the variety of veggies! The pork belly was great and I love the tempura kale chips! Yum 10/10 Bento box - this was my favorite bc of the variety! Loved the japchae! Highly recommend 10/10 Overall, everything was delicious and tasted great. The food was well seasoned & slightly *almost* salty. It was on the verge of being salty, but didn't ruin the meal if that makes any sense. I would definitely order from here again if we're ever in the area. Must try for sure! read more

Best bibimbap I've ever had! So incredibly fresh, lots of colorful veggies and textures. The tofu was so perfectly seasoned I couldn't believe it was tofu. Ginger chia seed lemonade was refreshing. Parking was a bit challenging but 100% I'd navigate that issue to come here again! read more

My sister and I stopped in to get some lunch to go and HOLYSH*T the food was SO dang good that we practically inhaled our meals. We ordered the Bibimbap and BOPBOX'd Bento - both we could honestly eat every day. We're Korean and grew up on this kind of food all our lives. I would consider the dishes here a "modern take" on traditional Korean food... but done the RIGHT way! It's as if they kept all the best flavors of Korean food and added in some nice touches here and there. For example, the crispy kale thing they put in both the dishes floored me!!! It was insanely delicious and complemented the dishes so well. We can't wait to bring our mom to this spot. read more

The sauce was sweet and spicy and thick and amazing. Great portions as well. Ordered take out during COVID. read more

Bopbox - Tofu Mom's Market Medley Salad, Daily Bento and Mom's Medley with Bulgogi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place deserves ZERO STARS! Place is way overpriced. No gluten free meat options and you will be up charged for fluten free sauce. $1.25 on top of a $21 lunch just to get a different sauce? Y'all are out of your god damn mind. They also don't accept the good old American cash dollar. They're quick to take your money but if you ask me I cancel your order because everything you wanted has gluten in it they will take 3 days to give you you money back. Don't go there. read more

Been going to this place since 2019 and I love that they've survived the pandemic where a lot other places haven't. The place is cute, the owner is amazing, food taste extremely healthy, and best of all the sauce is made in house and made fresh daily. You can even buy it by the bottle! There's a lot of amazing bap(rice dishes) bowls you normally don't find at other korean joints and I usually opt for the salmon steak or bulgogi(ribeye steak) bowls. They're so packed with meat and veggies that reflect the PNW. Drinks are also varied and unique too. Highly recommend if you get a chance. Once you're done, go visit the Georgetown Records or get some Taikyaki softserve at Matchaman. A lot of great stuff in a neighborhood so far south that's not just breweries. read more
