Unfortunately the tree hugger in me just can't give five stars to a business that serves food in plastic disposable bowls, takeout or not. How much plastic garbage do they generate per day? The image of this ginormous plastic garbage patch floating in the ocean just doesn't sit well with the fish chunks in my bowl (note to myself: I should probably quit eating fish if I truly care about marine life).
One of the signature bowls is the classic Bibimbap bowl. It's traditionally served in a stone bowl which retains heat better than a regular bowl. I have had it in regular bowls too but serving it in a plastic bowl is just wrong. Did I mention the bowl is very undersized? You can't mix everything up without spilling all over the place since the bowl is so small.
When you build your own bowl, the least expensive option is $10.95 for 2 proteins with base and toppings. I don't have a big appetite so 2 proteins (or double portions of 1 protein) is more than I really want. It would be great if a one protein option for less than 10 bucks is offered.
