I don't think they have the corn last time I was there. It is a definite you have to try it. My default here has always been the K-pop fries, but I've ventured out and tried the rice dish. It was great. I would definitely order it again when I'm doing takeout. They traveled really well which is something I always look for in Carrie out items. The guy at the counter was nice. I haven't been here in a while. When I walked in it looked the same. I had takeout but it would have been fine eating there. You can always find a spot to sit. I couldn't tell you more because I was in and out within 5 minutes. read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - Bulgogi chicken - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

Okay...I'll admit it's been a while since the last time I ate at Bumblebees, but hear me out: I haven't been able to get it out of my mind the last few months. Only reason I haven't been back is because eating out is a whole-family decision. What you get at Bumblebees is, in my opinion, a rare and odd fusion of foods that loosely fall into the realm of Bulgogi and Primanti Brothers (think fries plus bulgogi). The interior is appropriately dive-y. The service isn't surprising or especially fast (I recall it being respectable), but...that unique combination is only akin to having chili Mac (chili over spaghetti) from Hard times in DC. So...it's in that vein of highly flavored meat over a base starch that is cooked in such a way as to carry the flavor and not hamper it...every time I drive by, I wish my family liked spicy things more - it's totally worth it!! read more

The guy who helped us was nice. The parking is easy. The prices are great. These fries are incredible! So much flavor. It's kind of divey but usually those places have the best food. So far I'm not wrong on that. So definitely want to come back and try more menu items read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - Mini K-pop Fries with bulgogi beef - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

First impression, this location is located in a plaza that is difficult to enter if on State Street. The building is rundown and does need a renovation as stated in previous reviews. However, the food was adequate and tasteful. We tried the beef bulgogi k-pop fries, beef bulgogi bowl, and beef bulgogi noodle bowl. For fast Korean food, the food sufficed the taste buds. You order through an iPad. Customer service is at a bare minimum, but it didn't bother us. The gentleman (front counter, cook, and server all in one) doesn't have much to say, but I went for the food more than the customer service of this place. If you want a decent Korean flavored meal and don't care about the rest, then this is your spot. read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I need to preface this by saying that this is the best food I had in the area, without question. The portions were big for the price and absolutely packed with flavor. It's delicious and just the perfect spice level to make the sweet sauce more dynamic. The chicken tenders were a little dry but that complimented the amazing sauce. There's no real interaction with the single employee-- the cook-- but that was part of the charm just like the dated look of the restaurant. I feel like a renovation would make it lose that quirky, hometown feel but I would love to see a mix in soda machine update. That would seal the little diner feeling. read more

Bumblebee's was great! The Korean and Mexican fusion was something new and fun to try. I got the fries and they were good but nothing too outstanding. The service was kind and friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. read more

Food was amazing and noodle poppers were crispy and tasty. Workers were very nice and friendly. It was also very clean and well stocked.

Delicious food! The mango sticky rice and fried banana are outstanding. Chef Shogun's service is fantastic!

Absolutely loved the k-Philly and k-pop fries. I ordered it to go so I can't really say anything about the service, but the food is fantastic read more

It's pretty good food for a pretty good price try the fries they are very good ! I would recommend this place if your hungry

After hearing great things about Bumblebees, I was excited to finally try it out. I placed an online order for K-Pop fries and it was a super easy process. Upon arrival they were making my fries and I didn't have to wait long at all. I had the spicy pork on my k-pop fries and they were very good! Definitely a nice combination of flavors. They have other menu options that sounded pretty solid but I would probably return for the fries themselves. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant was clean and organized. Nothing fancy but plenty of room to sit and eat there! read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - K-pop Fries - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

The bowl I got here was very yummy. I really enjoyed it with the noodles...but rice was good as well. I'm just more of a noodle person. The service was very quick as well. The only downside to this place is the actual restaurant itself. It's pretty dated and rundown. We love to get our food to-go though! read more

This is my favorite place for sure hands down. The k-pop fries are to die for. The bulgogi is amazing and the service is so nice. They are usually pretty quick but I'm so obsessed I will call and place an order to go for pickup and they always remember me. It's clean and the workers are so nice and helpful. One of my top recommendations. read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - K-pop Fries - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

Yummy yummy yummy! This place is what comforting Korean food really is. The menu is small and decadent, and everything is absolutely delicious. It's not meant to be a fancy restaurant. Service was quick, and our food came out so so so fresh. This might be the best Spicy Pork I've ever had at a Korean establishment. The chicken tenders were delicious and the honey garlic (!!!!) was so fragrant as a dipping sauce. We will absolutely be returning here. read more

we went around 7pm and they ran out of chicken, again. I highly doubt it. It just seems like the girl who must work alone during that time just didn't want to whip up chicken again. read more

Good comfort food. I always leave here feeling insanely full. The bulgogi fries are my typical order.

Such an incredibly tasty experience at Bumblebee's BBQ & Grill in Midvale. I'm no expert on Korean food, but I am definitely coming back. We tried the K-Pop Fries with bulgogi beef, K-Noodles with spicy pork, and Kor-ispy Puffs (boneless chicken) with honey garlic sauce. All of it so good! read more

As others have shared, the place is not dripping with an attractive image, but as they say, sometimes the ugliest front, turns out to be an incredible find. Bumblebees is one of those! In town for meetings with a hankering for something off the beaten path a quick consultation with Yelp gave me the incentive to spin on over to Midvale to experience Bumblebees. I'm so glad that I did. My colleague and I shared an order of their K-Prop Fries. Oh my! To call them 'loaded' is almost an understatement. Get them with beef and you will not be sorry (or leave hungry). For me, I had to dive in for the K-Noodles. Delicious, plenty of variety over those wonderful noodles. You will be impressed. My colleague opted for the Korean Tacos, one chicken, one pork. He reported good, but not the best. Pretty standard fare as I would've encouraged him to be more adventurous. You know, when in Rome and all.... Note, the beverage selection is not expansive; basically soft drinks and water. For this good food a nice bottle of Hite would have made it the perfect meal. As a bonus for trekking over for the good food, you can snap few pics outside the Fear Factory next door. It'll help make the visit even more memorable! read more

Who knew that K Pop was more than just Korean pop music? I learned recently, that it is more. So much more. My son and I wandered in to Bumblebee's BBQ & Grill, not fully knowing what to expect, but having growling bellies. After a short review of the menu, we saw a few items that looked good, and ordered the chicken strips and a beef bulgogi sandwich. The nice young man at the register made us feel so welcome. He was genuinely friendly and happy that we were there. He's the kind of guy that I would have loved to invite to join us for a meal and a chat. Really, he was that friendly. But I refrained-you know, COVID and the fact that he was, well, working at the moment. Anyway, we sat in the dining area and waited for our food, which was ready in just a few minutes. The ambience is more like a diner than a Korean BBQ joint-super casual, cozy and a bit small. I like it. Our food was very flavorful. My son, who is a picky eater that prefers more traditional food, devoured his chicken. He said it was different than he expected (I guarantee he had breaded chicken strips in mind), but he would have ordered even more. My sandwich was also good, although it had some ingredients that I would probably prefer to leave off. I admit, I'm probably just as picky as the kid. The menu does not go into much detail about what is on the food, but I'm certain the Nice Guy would tell me if I asked. I'll do that next time. Overall, I can see why this place has such a following. We will return and continue to explore the menu. read more

My father and I decided to take a fun trip to Salt Lake City for skiing. After a long day of skiing some great food is just what we needed. This was the closest place to our airbnb in Midvale. We decided to try it out and man was it great. The food is tasty and looks appealing. I ordered their signature "K-Pop Fries" (Korean style loaded fries. The food came out super speedy and the man working the counter and kitchen was very pleasant. It has a weirdly vintage type of style with half brick walls. Super fun. The Temp in the building was also just right for a cold Utah night. read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - Dup-Bop and K-Pop Fries - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

The KPop fries keep me coming back for more! Possibly not the healthiest option, but you're not coming here for your swimsuit goals! Since my dad dubbed me the "French Fry kid" as a child, I still claim some street cred when it comes to french fries. So let me take you in a KPop journey. You'll get a basket full so it's a meal. Yet, you may still crave more after you've devoured them all. The fries are thicker but not as thick as steak fries. They have some skin on which gives them a nice crunch, but they don't stay crunchy with all the toppings. BUT I promise they are not grossly soggy either. They are topped with the Koren house sauce, bulgogi beef (or three other options) and green onions. They are so addictive. I can't even put words to all of the flavors and textures, you just have to try them! Although Bumblebee's is slated as BBQ, it's more of an burger and fries quick service, with a Korean fusion twist restaurant that just works! read more

We came here 4 years ago on a ski trip and returned. Love Bulgogi fries. Right level of spice and flavors.

Food: ordered the KBBQ fries with beed to go on a snowy day. Definitely a great comfort food however it is LOADED with sauce. The meat to fries ratio was perfect! Service: nice staff. Ordering online is very simple I ordered my fries to go and they had it ready by the time I was there Ambiance: casual diner vibes Would recommend read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant is in an older building with not much flair-- clean and quaint, but it slaps! Kiosk order at the counter, solo chef, but food came out quick & hot.

Super fast service. Employees were nice. It was empty on a Saturday at 11:30. I'm disappointed because I got my beloved k-pop fries and they didn't have green onion. I went back in and asked for some and they said they didn't have any. The onions are essential for cutting the richness of the meat and Mayo and fries. Definitely not as good. I wish they'd told me beforehand. Also, the fries were limp and greasy. Idk what happened. I've had good food from here in the past! read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

A lot has happened since my original review of Bumblebee's. For one, they've blown up and become very popular. The K-Pop fries alone have a cult following, and I have--on more than one occasion--been here with someone who has never tried the place and insisted they order them so that I could snag a few for myself. Since the original review, they've opened a food truck, and then a second location, this one in West Valley. It's a growing enterprise, based on great word of mouth and good food. Tonight, as I considered where I might go to support a local business during this crazy COVID-19 moment in history, I thought of them. I have long admired the beautiful family behind Bumblebee's and appreciate their sincerity and earnest desire to make the best food for the best price. Happily, they're doing takeout and delivery right now. Takeout was a breeze. You can order on Yelp via GrubHub, or just call in. I did the latter, and paid over the phone. Then when I arrived, it was a simple job to open the door, grab my food, and get home. All while staying very safely distance from anyone. And the burger I got? Well, you already know. The Mr. Kim is overflowing with fresh kimchi, cheese, a fried egg, that soft bun, lettuce and tomatoes. I forgot to say "no onion" but that's on me. I also ate the Mrs. Pa burger for the first time and it was also a real treat, and less messy. Takeout victory! It was good to see them still open during the coronavirus quarantine, and you can add their takeout (or delivery) to your list of good ideas. Supporting this great family is never a bad idea. read more

I was hoping for better. We had the fries with Bulgogi Beef, Noodles with Bulgogi Chicken, and Rice with Pork. The rice was our favorite dish. A bit disappointed with the fries, they weee on the soggy side. It would be great if they switched to a Krinkle-cut fry instead of the homestyle fries they are currently using. The oddest part about the restaurant is that to drive by, you would think it is a bbq or hamburger joint. If it wasn't for yelp, I would have no idea that it is Korean BBQ. read more

Had the KPOP fries, tasty but probably overpriced. Also ordered the KPhilly sandwich which was tasty but disappointingly small for $13. The sandwich does not come with fries kPOP Fries, a small sandwich, and a drink $30 It's a little overpriced in my opinion. read more

Bumblebees BBQ and Grill - Heaven - New American Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I'll be back again for sure. Not sure why it took me so long to swing in after driving past this very unassuming spot. Got the bibimbop with spicy chicken and bulgogi for my first visit and was very pleasantly surprised at the true Korean flavors and loved that things weren't too sweet as some can be. Such a good fast but staying with traditional Korean flavors spot. I know they've got quite the following on their fries too so maybe next time I'll be adding that to my order. Prices are very reasonable too for their dishes too. I think take out is the way to go, but will definitely be swinging by for a cookingless dinner! read more

Food is good. Not a huge variety. Place is a bit of a hole in the wall. Staff was fast and friendly. Worth a try

HOLY K-Krazy! OK, we all know that korean food is amazing, and korean-american fusion CAN be amazing, although some dishes can frighten as well. This place lands mostly on the amazing scale. I put this on my bucket list early this year, and finally got around to it, and am very glad i did. There were a whole bunch of menu items i wanted to try, which doesn't happen very often. Here is a run down on what i got THIS time, although a return trip is definitely in the works. KPOP fries: 5 stars out of 5. I Got mine with bulgogi (of course), and if you would have told me a couple of years ago, i would like something better than carne asada fries, i would have called the authorities in to lock you up as a dangerous madman. YES, they are that good with all the sauces and stuff that you need a fork to eat and a bulldozer to shovel towards your fork. Portions are very nice for the price. I can see why they put this place on the map. Kimchi rice balls: 5 stars out of 5. I am a sucker for deep fried kimchi balls and these are really really good. the sauce on top makes these bajillion calorie treats move into exponential factor counting, but they TASTE so good! Yangstar wings: 5 stars out of 5, but i wish i could give it higher. Spinal tap dial goes to 11 why not my five scale going to a 6? the complete surprise and last minute add to the order becomes the star of the show. crispy, sticky and freaking huge cut wings had me licking the paper in the container (in the privacy of my own vehicle thank you), writing this review makes me want some! Kastu chicken sandwich: 3 out of 5. nothing to write home about here, although the cutlet was crispy and tasty, the delivery on the soggy bun and toppings brought it down. having consumed enough calories to power a rocket to the moon, i came away grateful for mom and pop shops with creative cooking, nice manners, and a homey feel. they even have an a-town menu for your boring vanilla friend, when you are jonesing for some fusion, and they are trying to block your vibe. I am definitely going back for another menu tour soon! read more

The food was SO GOOD! I was visiting from out of town and charged with finding an interesting spot for dinner for nieces and nephew and in-laws. They were really skeptical but Yelp! has been good to me so far and didn't disappoint! We had the noodles, the rice, the fried chicken and I can't remember what else! It was all heavenly with the Bulgogi. We scarfed it to quickly I bought another two noodles and one rice. Everyone loved it! I'm subtracting a star for ambience (which was non-existent ). The cashier was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, if not a bit impatient because we were so late and near closing. She took our order and delivered it to our table. We ordered family style which must be atypical because they didn't have plates and seemed baffled when we asked for napkins & cutlery. I highly recommend! read more

Don't both reading any further. Get in your car, drive to bumblebees, thank me afterwards. My girlfriend and I drive by this location regularly, and we always talked about how we had heard it was delicious. We heard correctly. The bulgogi, the Spicy Pork Sandwich, the Noodles, the burger, the Kpop fries... all of it. So damn delicious. Bumblebees is a small, family owned restaurant with a fun mix/fusion of western food with Korean. The restaurant is small, but never overly crowded. The staff is also extremely kind. Definitely recommend. read more
