Bright colours, Ikea-style furniture and walls plastered with Polaroid snaps of happy diners mark Bi Bim Bap as a youngsters’ hangout. It’s more suited to an after-work pit stop than a lingering meal; service is quick and the food filling. There are Korean beers and spirits to try as well.

As the name suggests, Bi Bim Bap’s big draw is the stone-bowl rice dish of the same name – served in ten varieties. Classics include beef, chilli chicken, spicy pork or seafood, but veggies are well catered for too with tofu, mushroom, or brown rice, ginseng and gingko versions on offer. Some say the key to a good bibimbap is how well it’s mixed together, and staff let you do the honours here (as well as adding your own koch’ujang and doenjang sauces). In our experience, the results have always been sound, with crisp rice at the bottom and a decent amount of toppings to blend through.

Other dishes, including fried noodles, jeon pancakes and salads, can be more of a mixed bag. The wrappers on our vegetable dumplings seemed more air-dried than crisp-fried, though the chilli-speckled dipping sauce had plenty of flavour.

I went to Bi Bim Bap on a thursday night and the area was pretty busy and so was the restaurant but I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to get a table. I went to this restaurant to get cheap & lovely food in a very expensive area. Just call the waiter whenever your are ready to order and they'll come straight away. I definitely recommend this place and I will be coming back soon.

I loved this place, though went there yesterday and it ended up costing more than in previous years. The portions are smaller and it is not longer cheap. We were constantly being rushed out and the 10% service charge wasnt earnt by the staff

I really loved this restaurant until tonight. I asked if I could be seated 5 mins before my friends arrived so I could order a beer and they refused to seat me. I appreciate that they make money through quick service but when your not even busy you would think they would make an effort to accommodate. Very unhelpful staff who don't care about their regular customers

Great food however service was slow, unfriendly and did not justify the 10% service charge which was automatically added to the bill. For wholesome Korean food on the go, Bi Bim Bap is great although for atmosphere and experience head elsewhere.

This is a little gem of a restaurant in Soho! They do the best BiBimBap's - and they do takeaway which makes them a perfect workday lunch venue. The food is healthy, delicious and filling which stops you snacking in the afternoon... Its at least a once a month treat for me. YUM!
