Because Bibimbab is tucked away in an empty mall, without any exterior signage I assumed that this Korean BBQ restaurant was easy to walk right into and get a table – boooyyyy was I wrong. This place had a line out the door and after my meal I knew EXACTLY why.
What many diners have already discovered is that Bibimbab offers a massive menu with authentic Korean and Japanese dishes including unique noodles, rice bowls, sushi and Korean BBQ – which you grill right at the table!
This restaurant is a little tricky to find – but the fact that it’s popularity spread mostly by word of mouth shows just how good the food and experience is! The outside of the building DOES NOT have a sign for the restaurant. The best way to find the entrance is to look for the Agape Salon sign and go down two doors to your right. Then you will see a green awning…enter here:

There is plenty of free street parking in front of the building and there’s a free parking lot about a half of a block east. Once you enter the building, continue straight until you see an opportunity to go right or left – veer to the left and you will spot Bibimbab.
Often when I’m trying a new cuisine I get a little confused about what to order, so I was delighted to find that their menu had pictures of EVERYTHING! It made it very easy to visualize their unique options and try something new.

We ordered the Bul Ko Ki ($19.95) which was thinly sliced beef brisket, marinated in korean barbecue sauce. It is served raw and we cooked it on the table-top grill. The beef was tender and the marinade tasted like heaven. I would HIGHLY recommend ordering this dish.
The second dish we tried was the the chicken bibimbab ($12.95). Apparently this is a very popular Korean dish. It had a variety of vegetables and noodles on top of a bed of rice and was baked in a traditional hot stone bowl. It was even topped with an egg!
The vibe here is casual. Jeans and a t-shirt would totally work. Every time I have walked by this restaurant it has been packed so I would recommend making a reservation. The servers are very friendly and helpful in explaining this unique and delicious dinning experience.
