    Side dishes
    Jessica E.

    Everything. Everything was amazing! Every bite was absolutely delicious! Our server was very kind and patient and made us feel very welcomed. The Korean wings and side dishes! My 1st time trying Plum soda, absolutely delicious as well! Planning to visit again very soon!

    Dolsot Bibimbap , toppings and Egg rolls

    Fantastic! We purposely went to try the Dolsot Bibimbap and couldn't be happier! My husband got Beef and I got Pork. The array of toppings we got were Fish Cake, Zucchini, eggplant, Pickled radish and Potatoes. I also recommend the Gokugan condiment!! My advice to you is, drop what you're doing and go get this food. Also, we got the egg roll and will be craving it forever. Our service was so friendly and helpful. The price was quite reasonable for what we experienced! If you are wanting a formal atmosphere, this is not for you. Feels authentic and is definitely delicious!!

    My friend and I stopped in because she had never tried Korean cuisine before. We are from out of town and have very few places near us. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted swiftly and it was very clean. The food tasted amazing and the service was very fast and neat. I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a nice, small restaurant for date night or a quick lunch.

    WOW. This might genuinely be one of the best Korean restaurants in Bloomington, and I have no idea how I didn't discover it sooner! Everything about this place hits the mark: authentic flavours, friendly service, and great value. I ordered the beef bulgogi, and it was absolutely fantastic. Super juicy, tender, and full of flavour. That level of tenderness is not easy to achieve, and they nailed it perfectly. The seasoning and balance of sweetness and savouriness were spot on, and the portion size was generous too. I had also ordered their seafood pancake appetizer which was just as great too. It's huge, so ideally, you'd want to share it with someone! The service is excellent -- friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. You can tell they genuinely care about their food and their customers. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, so keep that in mind if you're planning to dine in, especially during dinner hours -- it can fill up fast. That said, it adds to the cozy, casual charm of the place. Whether you're new to Korean food or a longtime fan, K-BAP is a must-visit spot in Bloomington. Delicious, authentic, and made with care, which means this place easily earns 5 stars.

    Shrimp Dimsum & Kimchi Kimbap

    Small space but big heart. The food was quick, tasted incredible and the service was quick considering each table was full and there was only one server. So yummy and I'm already craving more of the shrimp dimsum.

    Pretty good Korean restaurant. We came for lunch and it was not crowded. We ordered seafood pancake, a combination of tofu soup and galbi, and japchae. It serves unlimited refillnof banchan Overall, the food is good. The Galbi is a bit chewy. Seafood pancake is good, but they only served soy sauce as the dipping until we asked for proper seafood pancake dipping d Sauce. Tofu soup is good. Japchae is ok. I prefer to have it at room temperature.

    I was in Bloomington the other day, and before I hit the road to go back to Indy, I decided to do a to-go order for my dinner. I am always hungry for Korean food and K-Bap was located conveniently not too far from IU. I called and placed an order for Japjae and it was ready in about 20 minutes. This restaurant is not that big and not fancy looking but oh the food was DELICIOUS! I think it helped that they put it on aluminum foil and closed it, because after one hour drive to Indy the food was still hot. It was so tasty and I wish they were closer to me!

    Local authentic family owned Korean place? Yes please! The food was amazing. The tofu ban Chan, broccoli and cucumber was pretty flavorful. The service was great. It seemed really authentic and we will be back.

    Beef bibimbap

    Completely exceeded my expectations. The store front & inside didn't look like much but the food & service was fantastic. I liked the banchan & my tofu stew was delicious! Would definitely go back there again next time I'm in the area.

    I've been wanting to try Rush Hour Station for quite a while, but it just never happens. When…read moremeeting a buddy for lunch he recommended it and I jumped for the chance. RHS bills itself as 'Vietnamese Fusion' and I have no idea what that might mean, but it was good. Very good. We went on a cold day, so eating on the outside deck wasn't an option. The interior is a basic strip mall location with a decent number of tables and plenty of seating, albeit a bit cramped. It's counter service, so it pays to take a look at the menu in advance and know what you want before you arrive. Paid at the counter, and they came to our table with the food very quickly. I had the 'Be Kind to Each Other' Chicken Pho which came with the usual sides of sprouts, basil, lime and noodles. You could upgrade your noodles if you wanted. I also added an order of cajun fries, which doesn't really seem like a 'Vietnamese Fusion' choice, but I love cajun fries so who was I to question them? The Pho was terrific. Loved it. The fries were very very good, though maybe a bit generous on the cajun. Still very good, and I definitely will return for this meal again. Friend ordered the Spam Banh Mi. Seriously???? Well, he did. And he said it was very good. You actually pay $0.50 extra for spam. Again, not sure what world you pay extra for the Spam but he did it. He selected the Fire Engine Tim sauce, which was to be spicy. When I pressed him for more details on the quality he said it could be spicier even with that sauce, but otherwise it was very good. He said to point out on Yelp that "That Diet Coke was clutch" - he may have been making fun of my questioning :) All in all a very good experience and I'll definitely return. I don't find much good pho in Bloomington, so it's nice to have a place for that. I won't be eating Spam anytime soon. I'm giving 4 stars only because the seating was a bit cramped and it was busy inside. I would go 4.5 if it weren't in a strip mall and pretty 'basic' ambiance. And that canned Diet Coke is clutch!

    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for a quick meal in town. The menu is Asian…read morefusion, mainly Vietnamese and Thai. There's a lot of choices on the menu and many entrees are customizable with your choice of protein and/or sauce. The place is very vegan/vegetarian-friendly; they have a handful of vegan protein options and most sauces are vegan, if you do try to order a non-vegan sauce with a vegan protein, they'll check to make sure that's okay, vegannaise is available for banh mi, and they will also remove the egg from the entrees containing egg AND take off the price of the egg. Their food may not be totally traditional but I really enjoy it. The level of "authenticity" will vary depending on what you order and which sauces you get in the customizable entrees. Their banh mi bread is different from the banh mi bread I'm used to but I actually like it a lot more. It's crustier and more tender than the usual banh mi bread, closer to a French-style baguette. They stack on lots of fresh veggies. The tofu is thinly-sliced and fried for tenderness that gives it a somewhat similar texture to deli meat. You can also get any banh mi combo as a wrap with the same ingredients, and while the wrap is good for a change of pace, I have to say I prefer the banh mi because the bread is so good. Their other entrees are also delicious and come in hefty portions. Their mapo tofu is the best vegetarian mapo tofu I've ever had. I usually get a Thai iced tea when I come here. It's strong and just the right amount of sweet. I appreciate the oat milk option! I recently tried the Thai iced coffee and that was also really good. Lastly, the staff who work here are very friendly! It seems like a small operation but they work efficiently so I've never had to wait too long for my order! The only thing that's left to be desired here is that everything is served in takeaway containers and they only have plastic cutlery (except spoons for some reason), but I don't know what they're dealing with in terms of capacity to use actual dining ware, so I am not letting that affect my rating.

    A restaurant that gives different menus and items to non-Chinese folk, with awful American Chinese…read morefare. I walked in and was handed a menu. Bloomington has some excellent Sichuan food, which is the primary Chinese cuisine in town, so when I saw Oasis' extensive menu with a number of spicy dishes listed I got excited and assumed they were Sichuan too. Mistake #1. Mistake #2: Their dinner plates are $8.50, so when I ordered Sichuan shrimp, I should have guessed based on the price that the serving would have only 5 medium sized shrimp. And as I placed my shrimp order I asked if it has any vegetables, and the server pointed me to the veggie dish section. Assuming the shrimp came on its own I ordered a broccoli in garlic sauce ($6.50). Both dishes finally came in identical plates, with the shrimp served with broccoli as well. Like you could tell me that the shrimp came with veggies so I wouldn't order this abundance of broccoli? But she made me order an extra dish with the SAME sauce? These would have been forgiven were it not for the appalling sauce, which resembles the goopy brown cornflour-dumped ketchup-like abomination that passes for everything from General Tso's to "Sichuan" to garlic sauce. I abhor "American Chinese" food loaded in sugar, so I'm unreasonably upset. There was NO difference between my "Sichuan" dish and my "garlic sauce" dish barring a few measly shrimp. And the same sauce has NO heat or spice; an anticlimax considering I was expecting a dish loaded with numbing Sichuan peppercorn and whole chillies. I realized after I was almost done with my meal that the people in the table across me had a different menu with pictures -- and that they were ordering food clearly not on my menu. Well, they stuck me with the American Chinese menu and it sucks. I was very disappointed with my meal. Will not bother coming here again.

    Absolutely terrible! My fried rice was made with yellow rice. The chicken sucked. The broccoli…read morewasn't cooked. What a waste of a restaurant space.
