With its colourful IKEA-style interior and photos of diners on the wall, Bi Bim Bap is a popular stop-off for hip, young Londoners out and about in town. Other than the speedy service and reasonable prices, the main attraction is the restaurant's namesake rice dish.
Bibimbap is taken seriously, with ten varieties to choose from, including classic beef or vegetable and more unusual spicy pork, chilli chicken, or ginseng, ginko, date and chestnut - all served in sizzlingly hot stone bowls. You also have the option of brown or white rice.
According to the menu, the key to a good bibimbap is how much you stir it, and staff trust you to do this yourself, adding as much koch'ujang and denjang as you like. Our fillet beef version, packed with plenty of meat and vegetables, filled the mouth with flavour.
Another of the signature dishes, chapch'ae, was also tasty, but too heavy on the sesame oil. Sadly, deep-fried chilli squid wasn't particularly crisp or spicy. We'll definitely be back for the bibimbap and Korean drinks (including plum and ginseng wine), but probably not for the side dishes.

The best place I have ever been,,,Absolutely love it^^ Will go there again and again))))
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.
Great value, great toilets , vast menu one of the best Koreans in central London
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!
One of my favorite restaurants in London. Great service, great food (all the bibimbap dishes are great and especialy the kimchi pancakes are to die for!), and a convenient location.
Never eaten Korean food before, and happened upon this restaurant by accident. Food was fine, vegetables not wishy-washy and meat cooked well, it's cheap too. Service was good, only time they were slow was when trying to get the bill. Am planning to go again in the next few days, definitely worth a go.
Excellent! Food is fantastic and prices are really good. Friendly and attentive staff. I would go every day if I lived closer!
THREE STARS?! This place is fantastic! Have tried many of the SoHo Korean restaurants and for flavour, price and consistency this is the best. Strangely Koba has a 5 star rating and 1 for price - it's more like 2-3 for price and 3 star for restaurant. BiBimBap staff are very friendly and attentive, the environment is simple yet clean and inviting with an element of fun. Honestly - it's the best place for Korean and I'm there for lunch at least twice a week...gooood stuff!
This is a great place. I got aware of it because of a Korean friend who loved it and told me how good it was. I've now been there roughly 6 times, each time with a different crowd, and everyone really liked it. I wholeheartedly recommend the kimchi pancakes as a starter, delicious:)
