The predominant flavor of the kimchi jjigage was gochugaru. The haemul pajeon didn't have much seafood and came with several burnt spots. The japchae was extremely oily and included very few vegetables. I make better Korean food at home just by watching Maangchi videos. Speaking of videos, the only reason I found this place was through a TikTok, which offered a rave review and showed a packed restaurant. I guess this is how I know FoodTok has officially reached the mainstream, because I'm seeing more and more staged scenarios and dubious opinions. The only thing anybody had anything positive to say about was the rice, which was technically perfect. There is an old adage that goes, "you can judge a restaurant based on how well they cook their rice." But if you have a table full of food and the only thing people want to finish is the rice, then you've got a whole other problem.

Ahh I love invigorating Korean food. Came to this place after having a silver spring adventure and…read morewe exhausted. This food put satisfying smiles on all our faces. I ordered a tofu soup with miso base and a kimchi pancake for the table. The pajeon was so appetizing I may have forgotten to take a picture before we dug in, and the tofu soup was just very warming. I didn't want anything spicy or I would've gotten a jjigae. You'll notice if you come here that this place is frequented by local Koreans, which tells you this is a good spot haha

He was amazing. The booth was super comfortable too.

Food: 9/10 | Service: 7/10…read more The food is honestly really good, and I really enjoy it. However, there were some mistakes with our orders and the wait times were pretty long. Unfortunately, the service was inconsistent this time. At moments, it felt a little rude, and we felt like we were being watched closely rather than welcomed. My aunt recently had surgery and wasn't able to eat because she was fasting, and the atmosphere made her feel especially uncomfortable. We've come here many times before, so this experience was honestly a shock. Now that I'm thinking about it, we had to wait a really long time for the grill change! I completely understand that it's an establishment and there are certain rules and expectations, but I still think customers should feel comfortable and welcomed. The food is still great, but after this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. We also explained this ahead of time to the manager.

Boo-hoo, look around and you'll find a spot unless you're driving a yacht. Now, to the setting and the food...the setting is the way I like it. Rustic, clean, unassuming, not fancied up. Wooden privacy screens are set in between tables. (Perhaps because of Covid? Not sure.) This to me was really comfortable, didn't feel like I was stuck in a cattle car. I'm sure there's Korean BBQ here but we weren't at such a table. In fact it looked like grills had been removed from some tables and replaced with wooden covers. So nice to have that extra space because... Ordered bibimbap, bulgogi, steamed dumplings, etc. The extra side dishes I enjoy (kimchi, sprouts, etc.) were there as well. Ice tea, yadda yadda. Korean music was playing but it wasn't loud, on another screen by the kitchen I could see Family Guy. Again, not loud or intrusive. Didn't feel like they skimped on portions, there was plenty. Almost too much, wasn't sure I'd manage to finish the bulgogi but I did...mmm. Overall, this place is a nice break from other places. If you want to take someone out and just enjoy yourselves, this would be it. Perhaps a bit different when full, but still. Btw, it's been 13 years since I first went here. This week was only the second time. I totally forgot where it was or whether it was still around. So glad it is.

We had two kids with us, so we couldn't order anything too spicy. The japchae and mandu were tasty, but the lollipop wings deserved a stage of their own. Boy, were they delicious!

The portions are generous, parking is sufficient, and the staff were attentive. We'll definitely be back to try their hand-pulled noodles!

We were told to find a table on the other side of the restaurant (like self seating...see picture) but then asked to move. We were in a section with no one, which isnt an issue if the service is consistent (it wasnt and busy, we were their 3rd table) They checked on us once but I had to flag them down to order or ask questions. We ordered the Crystal noodles with shredded beef & vegetables (41) And the Fried rice with vegetable (10). The fried rice comes with the bean sauce which i didn't know (not listed on the menu I had) and contains pork. When i attempted to get a new version, it took 3 staff members asking why. The, what I assume to be the manager, said she would take it off the bill after I said I DONT EAT PORK... I also canceled my to go order before they cooked it but somehow that was never relayed to the kitchen and they brought it out ...I left hungry lol.

I was so underwhelmed that I packed the rest up just so I could go home and try to "doctor it up" myself with some seasoning and pepper. Fast forward...even the remix at home couldn't save it. The food was just not giving. The service, however, was quick, and the staff seemed kind. There was definitely a language barrier though, which made it hard to ask questions or get recommendations, and that took away from the experience a bit. As for the decor, it's a pretty large venue with a standard setup. Nothing particularly memorable besides the occasional Korean imagery throughout the space. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this spot, but the food just missed the mark for me.

Would recommended Mahdang in Rockville much more or even going to a DC Korean spot like Anju if you want to pay premium prices. At least the DC Korean spots have the quality for the premium. Or just make the drive to NoVA. It seems like this spots "good reviews" are severely outdated. Their website touts that the restaurant is a small business with lots to show for their name but they don't deliver on any end of the good food spectrum. Maybe if they got honest with themselves, lowered prices or upped portions, instead of trying to do business with their ego first, they could achieve what they clearly once were.

My server and chef, Leo D. walked me through the menu, the brisket I chose, and explained all of the sides as well as the sauces. He was kind, patient, helpful, and professional.

I also had the bean curd soup, which was fantastic and packed with a great spicy kick. My soju limeade was a bit too sweet yet still refreshing. The place is great just maybe a bit too dark.

I had the tofu bowl with rice, lettuce, onions, eggs, cheese and broccoli with black beans. YUMMY!!! So here's some background information because I have never heard of this place before: Bibibop has been described as "an Asian take on Chipotle." It was founded in 2013 in Columbus, Ohio by Korean American entrepreneur Charley Shin, the founder of Charleys Cheesesteaks. Casual eatery providing customized bowls, rice and salads along with a selection of Asian-inspired toppings. mixed rice Bibimbap meana (mixed rice), sometimes romanised as bi bim bap or bi bim bop, is a Korean rice dish... In my opinion I would say bibimbap is generally considered a very healthy and nutritious dish. It provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Typically featuring steamed rice, various vegetables, protein (egg or beef), and sesame oil, it is low in fat, high in vitamins, and supports healthy weight management.
