This is one of my fave places to eat a comfort meal. They are a bit slow, So my rating is based on their food. They have yummy gyros, hummus, falafel, and some Korean food, the bi bim bop is the best thing ever, so is their falafel plate. I always eat my bbb w their cucumber sauce. Amazing! I could eat it every day. It's not very nice inside so it's not a date kind of place. read more

Great food, and good location! Service was decent, but nothing spectacular. BF and I ordered the bi bim bap to go, and we definitely got less than we would've if we ate there. For two orders plus a drink to go, we paid $25... Not super cheap, but it didn't break the bank!! Will be back to perhaps eat-in :) read more

Kwik Chek - Bi Bim Bap to go - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The best. Crazy good mix of Asian and Middle East. To go or stay it's dangerously tasty.

My son and I tried out Kwik Check and it was great. I had the Korean noodle soup, he had the bi bim bop, and we both shared "the Greek" sandwich and deviled eggs. Let me tell you, the soup broth was flavorful, hot, and satisfying; Greek sandwich was served hot and it was packed with flavor, especially the roast beef and cheese; deviled eggs tasted homemade; All I can say for the bi bim bop is that I wish I have ordered it also (my son let me taste a little) because it will make your palate love you for putting it in your mouth and a very authentic Korean dish. I am a believer and we (father and son) will be back... Maybe will share it with my wife. read more

Once upon a time I was brought to Kwik Check by a friend, he couldn't stop raving about this place. This friend and I rarely agree on great food outside of the house but this place hit both of our spots. He was right, don't tell him I said that! This place made me question the quality by the outside, an old gas station, really?! But I am glad I went in. I really loved how they are still a bit of a convince store but they are also a deli. If you want to be impressed by decoration, or comforts continue walking. If, however, you want a delicious Muffuletta, give Kwik Check a try. In fact, I think I am feeling a little hungry right now. read more

I was seriously thinking this place was going to be a dump, boy was I wrong. It's a convenience store meets ethnic food joint. The bibimbop was so tasty and the guy who helped us was super helpful. Place was clean too -- a big plus! How did a place like this end up Tennessee? If you're hungry and need a change from all the fried, southern, comfort food -- you're welcome! read more

Tried a few different things and all were pretty good the Bi Bim Bop with egg on top and Beef was great and had a good mix of spice and flavor; the Steak sandwich of wheat was tasty with a very nice teriyaki flavor and a great wheat roll; the gyro was my least favorite as the meat was dry and the sandwich spead was more like mayo than the traditional type sauce used. Overall a good hole in the wall for lunch, and would stick with there sandwiches and traditional Korean food. read more

I'm reviewing this place in retrospect months after coming here for one reason: the bibimbap. I think it was the first time I had the dish, and I was blown away. Since I'm not from the area, I've been searching for that same flavor at Korean places I've been to in New York City and around Boston and just haven't found it. Looking back, it simply had the perfect variety of flavors and the just the right spice; I'm moving back to the Southeast and will absolutely return when I'm back in the Memphis area! Of note, the place seems to get really busy so the service can be slow, but as is so often the case in small joints like this, it's the worth the wait. The woman at the cash register also came and mixed my bibimbap for me, a lovely gesture that I truly appreciated and will not forget! read more

Kwik Chek - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Have loved this place for years. I always get the Bi Bim Bop and mandu. Bout as authentic as you can get.

I love hole-in-the-wall restaurants and especially how Yelp helps me discover them. This place looks like the inside of an old gas station convenience store that was stripped. It is so dingy it's kinda funny and the whole experience is confusing and unorganized. The menu has Korean, Greek, and American food so at first glance, it seems questionable. Your order is taken at the counter and no one tells you where to wait for your food or where to pay. There are drinks in the fridge that I guess you help yourself to and snacks on a separate shelf as well. When our food was ready, someone shouted out the names of the items we ordered and brought them over to our table. No clue where to find napkins or extra utensils, haha. We paid at the counter where you could buy packs of gum or Kwik Chek T-shirts. I asked where the bathroom was. The guy behind the counter sheepishly pointed toward some stalls. The bathroom was so dirty and tiny that I had to use the toilet at a 90 degree angle from the normal position. It was pretty comical. Bottom line though, the food is pretty darn cheap and good for what you pay. Get the bulgogi burger! The bibimap is also aight but not as great as you'd get at an actual Korean restaurant. Kwik Chek is interesting and worth checking out if you're in the area and are feeling some Korean fusion food! read more

This is the kind of place that I would never have thought to go into if it weren't for my coworkers. Boy was I surprised. It really is just a convenience store that has been repurposed into this restaurant. I had the bi bim bop with Tofu and it was amazing. The perfect amount of spicy (I don't like food spicy at all, so this is probably mild for most other people). My coworker got (and I tried) the Korean Pancake - I forget the actual name of it. That too was super delicious. They had a wide variety of deserts that looked great - although this afternoon's productivity would have been even lower if I had partook in those. I'll definitely go back here. read more

First off, let me say that this place has been a midtown staple for years. I grew up in the area and have been going here for over a decade. That being said, their gyros were by far the greatest in the city. Unfortunately they have gone EXTREMELY downhill. I can think of at least three instances where my food has been messed up, the gyros recently have been poorly made, and don't even get me started with their new staff. SO RUDE. I worked in the food industry for years and never in my life have I encountered a restaurant that would rather argue with the customer over whether or not their sandwich is made "how it always is" rather than just address and fix whatever the problem may be. I hate that they have gone downhill but if you are able to brush under the rug horribly poor customer service combined with poor food quality then sure Kwik Chek is great by those standards. Hopefully they get their shit together cause damn y'all need to clear your staff out read more

I am so furious right now. I met a friend for lunch today at 11am and grabbed several items from the grab and go cooler and went and checked out with a young lady at the counter. My lunch was $18.01 (deviled eggs, potato salad, dolmadas, and greek meatballs) and I paid cash. Soon after the young lady went to work at the restaurant next door (Crazy Noodles) and an older woman was now at the register. My friend paid for her food with the older lady, and while checking out the older woman asked my friend if she was also paying for my food. My friend told her I had already paid with the other lady. Throughout our entire hour of lunch, the old woman just watched us. Now, if you have been here to eat before, you also know that you aren't given a fork or napkin UNTIL YOU PAY! I was using the little white fork and napkin the entire time I ate. As I was leaving, the old woman stopped me and told me I needed to pay for my food. No, I told her, I paid $18.01 for this lunch. Look at your sales receipt. But she shook her head and told me no I didn't. It was so insulting to be accused of stealing, especially after buying so much food! I went next door and asked the young lady who checked me out to go let the old woman know! I will NEVER return! read more

The bi bim bam I have here is the best in Memphis areas for right now. Some place make the rice too dry, here is not at all. And I also order the fries dumping, I forget its name, but it's good. The dumping is full of meet. Love it. read more

Kwik Chek - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Probably the best food I've ever had in Memphis. Very low key, down to Earth environment. I had the bi bim bop and my gf had the kimchi fried rice and both were delicious. Tasted home made and only cost $20. Highly recommend to everyone! read more

Just had lunch here. We were there five minutes before their posted hours but they immediately asked if we were ready to order. My friend suggested the Bi Bim Bop. Wow, delicious. The service was great. I picked my wife up the falafel plate. Two thumbs up on everything. Awesome little midtown gem! read more

I'm not sure if this is considered a convenience store or a deli, but it serves a whole range of sandwiches from Asian to Mediterranean to classic deli sandwiches, plus desserts at their deli counter. I had read that they had muffalettas, which excited me after my first muffaletta experience in New Orleans...however I was disappointed which is my own fault because you can't compare the original with anything else. If you set your expectations lower it tastes fine! I would've liked to try the bibimbap burger too but we stopped here on our way out of Memphis and I knew it wouldn't last the car ride home. The owner seemed really sweet though, and it doesn't seem like there's a ton of Asian restaurants here, so I was happy to see some representation. read more

Do Not let the appearance fool you. This place is a gem. Super Korean food. I haven't tried their other items (gyro, falafel, muffuletta??), but indications are they are all really good. I had the Bi Bim Bop. It was Bi Bim AWESOME! read more

This place never fails me. I have brought multiple friends here and every one of them has said it was one of the best gyros they've ever had. It's one of those cozy little hole in the wall establishments that could never be recreated. Easily one of the best dives in town. Personally, I go for the three cheese sub sandwich and it is the second best sandwich I have ever tasted. To be honest, I don't even know what all is on it, but it blows my taste buds away. I don't know how to classify the magic that is Kwik Check. But there's just something about Asian girls making Greek food in a shop that sells beer and shrimp chips that just works. Something about this place feels like good things to come. And when you taste the food, you'll know why. read more

Without question the best Kimchi fried rice I've ever had. The BiBimBap is also spectacular. My wife wasn't a big fan of the Pajeon, but I thought it was pretty good. The sauce was on point. Though we only picked up food, it was hot and ready when I arrived. Staff was friendly. Love this place!! read more

consistently great - especially if you eat the staples - the middle eastern staples as well as the Korean staples i love the BiBimBop and the noodle soup on the Korean side and the shwarma on the middle eastern side top notch read more

This place looks to be what use to be a Kroger station but now converted into a restaurant. But don't let the looks fool you it's a pretty damn good place for subs. I haven't tried the other food yet but I will say that I will try that other stuff soon.Definitley a place for good lunch read more

Kwik Chek - truly a hidden gem - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Great gyro, best we've had in a LONG time. The Munda was good as well. Bi bim bop next time, glad we tried it!

Mighty Muffaletta. My man Harry set the tone here. It's like David Lee Roth said, " If I build you a plane, your damn sure you can fly it " or something like that. Strong sandwiches. Pretty good beer selection for the D.Canale oppressed Memphis. read more

I tried the burger and gyro and was surprised how good it was. I would definitely come back to try other food on the menus.

You're not from Memphis if you've never experienced Kwik Chek. The falafel and the mandou are absolutely to die for. I take friends here when they come to visit Memphis and there are enough options for even the pickiest of eaters. read more

Their food is delicious but in no world should it take 50 minutes to get 2 burritos. That's like the easiest thing on the menu to make. When we got there we were the only ones there, by the time we left it was busier and people who ordered after us got their food before us. We asked if our food was almost ready twice (at 30 min and 45 min) and the employees gave us an attitude instead of apologizing. Very frustrating experience. read more

Always stop in here when back home in Memphis. Love the "Trojan", the dumplings are killer, and the bi-bim-bop is best in-house in the hot bowl. read more

I love getting the beef or chicken shish-ka-bob. The wait is always worth it, so make sure you're not in a huge hurry.

Kwik Check, how I miss thee. A couple of weeks ago, a Memphis friend posted an article on Facebook about how Kwik Check had been seized by the state for nonpayment of taxes with the status "Wow, I think I may have to go lay down for a little while." And even though I live in DC and almost never make it to Memphis anymore, my heart sank at the thought of living the rest of my life without another Veggie Delight. Luckily he posted later that day that all was resolved, which was good since "It's such a key part of our food eco-system here." It is so true. If you need a sandwich in Midtown, you pretty much go to Fino's, or Kwik Check. I could get tired of Fino's, but I could never tire of good ole Kwik Check. It's an institution for a reason. Go there. read more

Before I ever actually went here, I assumed it was merely a convenience store. I had the 'Ninja' hoagie the first time I came here and it was amazing! Ever since then, I've been a regular customer and I've tried many other items on the menu, none of which have disappointed at all. Even better, they've expanded their menu with Korean food and what I've tried of it is also amazing! My top sandwiches there: Ninja (hoagie), Fireball of Freedom (wrap), Trojan (pita), Wild Bill (white or wheat toast), and the Steak Sandwich (hoagie with teriyaki sauce) read more

A year later...soup has changed. Still good (my date loved it), but not AS good as before. I can recreate this pretty spot on at home, but the bi bim bop is still worth going out for. Also tried the ninja - spicy yumminess! And bonus - they have queso Ruffles!! I have mourned the loss of these ever since they mysteriously disappeared from the grocery store shelf a couple of years ago. I'm actually not a big eater-o-chips, but these bad boys are awesome. Hmm...maybe not such a bad thing they don't sell them in the big bag anymore...! read more

The Bim Bim Bop - Nothing left to say. I mean, it comes out to you whilst it's still cookin. Nothing like it. Sure it's an old gas station and the lady can be seen making dumplings at a nearby table with a freshly done manicure BUT it's worth it. read more

The Madison location is fabulous!! It's definitely a dive of a place but great Mediterranean Korean food!

Kwik Chek - Bi Bim Bop spicy with lite rice, extra beef and two eggs! Amazing!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I am very particular about my Sandwiches, but this place has some unconventional stuff that I normally might not get out and search for in your average deli. It's convenient to have it in somewhat of a grocery store. Because you can always grab other goodies like beer or other assorted beverages while you wait, which is rarely more than 2-3 minutes. They also have a Free Wifi signal over from Umai. I'm partial to the half Turkey Muffaletta's, but I have them use only deli turkey instead of the pastrami. I also love the Hey Zeus wrap, but I skip the mayo, mustard, onions and peppers. I have issues with certain foods and condiments, so shush it. Hard Spot to pick out as a sandwich shop but its right across the street from the Blue Monkey. And had someone not recommended it to me, I would have continued to assume it was merely a grocery store. read more

Best Dive in Memphis in my opinion. The owners are Greek and Korean (Husband and Wife) and they've combined their cuisines to make a unique flavor that's most excellent. For your first time, you should definitely order the Bi Bin Bop. I think it's the first thing on their menu. Please bear in mind that the place doesn't look like much. In fact, when we first saw the place, we thought it would be a perfect setting for a drug deal or something worse. But that's what makes it a "dive" right? Hope ya'll check it out! read more

This location looks like an old convenience store but the food is surpasses its aesthetic. We ate the veggie dumplings and 2 bibimbops (1 beef, 1 tofu). Both were delicious and our toddlers ate the dumplings up. If I pass through Memphis again, I'd gladly eat here. read more

I love this place for a great sandwich. I order the Memphis or the Ninja and only wish it was humongous so I could eat more. I feel like they sprinkle magic dust on this to make me love it so much(it is probably salt and vinegar but whatever it is it is amazing). read more
