I stopped here for a quick work lunch and was pleasantly greeted then seated. I ordered the Bulgolgi Bibimbap which comes with three choices of sauces. Either the Soy, Gochujang (spicy Korean hot pepper paste) or Miso. Obviously, I had to go traditional and had the spicy chili paste. The bulgogi was slightly thicker cut and had the familiar sweet marinade. So every spoonful was a meaty bite. I love how they use purple rice instead of white rice, but it's probably just a few sprinkling of black rice that change the colour.
Each meal comes with 7 side dishes, a miso soup and a small creamy cabbage salad (tasted almost like a coleslaw, but less tart). Bapbo gets bonus points because the side dishes are refillable. I ended up getting 3 Kimchi refills. One was finished off before the main dish arrived, the second was mixed into the bibimbap and the third was there as an after meal snack. Just to continue the spicy sensation in my mouth.
Bapbo has a daily bibimbap special for $9.95, also if you place a take-out order it is slightly discounted. However, if you opt to dine-in the prices are a little more than what you would normally pay which I believe should be around the $8-$9 mark. Perhaps, it's attributed to the high rent in the area. I walked out of the restaurant leaving a total of $17 including taxes and tip.
