Bibab Express

Tired of Freshii? Want some real meat with your salad? Do you want it Korean style? If you said yes to all of this, then this is the place to go. It’s like an Asian Freshii but cheaper and better than Freshii. They seem to have different daily specials too. I came for lunch on a Wednesday and had the beef bimibab special for $ 6.95. It came with a small bowl of miso soup too.
Ambiance: ³⁄₅ — mostly takeout with 3 – 4 tables and about 10 – 15 seats, but very clean.
Service: ⁴⁄₅ — yes, it’s mostly takeout and usually when you do takeout (even if you eat in), you pay ahead of time. The nice owners here were like «sit down, you can pay later». So friendly and accommodating. Love it.
Food: 3.5÷5 — don’t expect piping hot stone pot bimibap here, but what you can expect is really fresh ingredients (which doesn’t always hold true for this dish at other places) that is tasty and a reasonable portion for a very reasonable price. I also noticed they had some nice looking sushi.
Overall, I’d give this place a 3.5÷5 but will round up to 4 since the owners were so friendly.

I like the concept of this healthy Korean /​Japanese food.
I can have choose of rice, veggies, meat and mix with the sauce that I choose as well.
Welcoming couple owner’s always friendly to me.
It’s such an enjoyable lunch time for me.

Tried it for the first time today. I’m a fan. The staff was really nice. The prices are great, especially if you choose one of the daily specials (6 $). They have Japanese food but also Korean items on the menu.
I had beef teriyaki (6 $ daily special), with rice and veggies. Wakame salad (3.5 $) which was really good, I love the dressing. And I asked the chef to make me a sushi roll with his favorite stuff. The roll was great! I ended up paying 20 $ for the beef, the roll, salad, 2 soups, and juice — which is really reasonable.
