I stumbled upon this place in the Richmond-Adelaide Centre foodcourt and the line was quite long so I decided to give it a try. This place allows you to create your own bibimbap. Step 1) pick a rice(white, brown, black) Step 2) meat choice(chicken, beef, tofu, salmon) Step 3) Veggies Step 4) Sauce(different spice levels). The one I got was quite spicy which drowned out the rest of the taste of the meat and veggies, otherwise it was quite enjoyable for a food court korean place. With that being said, it is a pretty unique choice from all the other chains in the downtown core.

Went to this place for lunch with a coworker. I ordered the Bulgogi on rice($ 8.45). To my surprise you can choose either white, brown, or black rice at no extra charge for the latter two. This is good because I would definitely prefer the latter two and other restaurants would charge like a dollar extra. The food comes with a bowl complimentary miso soup and you can get lemon water and tiny cups of ginger as well. For about 10 bucks after tax it’s a pretty good deal. When I started trying the food I found the brown rice to be a bit too hard, like they haven’t cook it thoroughly enough. There were a lot of rice, I had some leftover. The beef was pretty good and they give you a decent amount of it. Vegetables are disappointing because you can tell it’s been frozen. The broccoli was dry and the taste was bad. The other vegetables were ok though. They give you a little bit of everything. I would come back to this place again, maybe try out their build your own bibimbap next time.

I love this place in the PATH at Richmond Adelaide Centre! The employees are all so cute and super nice :) I usually get the bibimbap, and I like that you have the option of getting it with white, brown or black rice. You can also customize the vegetables you want in it, but I just usually get everything. They have a very wide variety, which includes peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and even alfalfa sprouts. You then also get to customize your sauce to the level of spiciness that you want. The best part is the egg they put in, which is sooo cute and flower shaped! It is $ 7.95 + tax if you get the bibimbap with meat, and also comes with a free miso soup :) Overall the quality of the food is good, although not as good as the bibimbap in a restaurant because it is not in the hot stone bowl. Sometimes I do find it to be a little bland. However, I would still consider this to be good for food court food.

I use to always go here for lunch — religiously. They were one of the, if not only decent sushi place along the path that was also decently priced. Recently however, I noticed that the portions and the quality of their items have gone downhill. It’s such a shame that this had to happen because everything was pretty good before this sudden shift. The only redeeming quality they have now is that they have 30% sushi after 2 or 3pm.

Efficient, efficient, efficient. In the food court, this place consistently has the longest line(maybe competing with the nearby Soup Nutsy). They still get everyone through the line really quickly. Pick your bibimbap(soup? rice? meat?), pick the veggies to go in(Subway-style), and watch as they mix it up with sauce, drop a fried egg on top, and sprinkle away with sesame seeds. Good to go. Cashes in at a little under $ 9. If you’re looking for good bibimbap, you’re in the wrong place. But I am assuming you are trying to get lunch during your one-hour lunch break; in that case, this place isn’t bad. It’s filling, not overly unhealthy, and tasty enough. A little too cold to be real bibimbap though. They also have bento box and sushi options, if bibimbap doesn’t tickle your fancy.(And if you are REALLY particular, you can ask them to make specific sushi rolls for you on the spot.) I AM a fan of the awesome korean ladies who work here though– even given my one-minute progress through line, she made conversation with me and smiled a lot. Definitely brightens up your workday!
