Bibio - Mesa

The Korean version of "chipotle" and boy is it great!!! We love bibio! The food is great, service as always been wonderful! Good for take out or dine in....if you do fine in be sure to get the hot stone bowl and add and egg! It's perfection.

Build your own Korean rice bowls. Go mild, or crazy spicy, the portions are decent and you'll get those Seoul flavors you've been looking for. I truly like the concept of Bibio, and wish that it delivered in consistency. The first time I went, I was pleasantly surprised. Choose your base of white rice, brown rice, or salad greens. Then, pick out your protein: beef bulgogi (yum), chicken bulgogi, spicy chicken, or spicy pork (meh). Add a veggie like sesame kale, sauteed zucchini, kimchi (a Korean fav), spicy cucumber, noodles, corn, etc. Drench with a sauce like Korean spicy chili, Korean bbq, creamy sriracha, cilantro lime, or ginger carrot. Finalize with toppings like sesame seeds or sesame oil. The setting is similar to other BYO rice bowl. I haven't found the people behind the counter to be overly help aside from scooping generous services (which I much appreciate). It's a clean establishment, and tucked in an already busy shopping area. The parking lot can get tight, so just be careful. I'll likely go back and try another protein and sauce. Maybe I'll find that perfect combo that hits the spot!

The food is great but the customer service is lacking-- constantly missing something from my order/bowl and attitude of the staff is poor. Pretty frustrating, ruins the experience.

This place is absolutely delicious! I have not dined in, but what I usually do if I'm in the area is a stop in and order some Korean bowls to go. Every time I have stopped in the restaurant is clean and welcoming.Recently, I discovered they are available on GrubHub! My family and I have started ordering from here once a week. The food is so delicious that even my seven year old son loves it. I love how customizable the Korean bowl is and you can add as much or as little as you want to it. This is what I usually order:Korean bowl with:Salad & rice base Spicy porkChicken Bulgogi Pickled Carrots & radish Bean sprout salad Sautéed onion & pepper Red cabbageKimchiSpicy CucumberSesame seeds My seven year old will get a kids bowl with chicken Bulgogi and rice. Every time we order from here he gets excited as he absolutely loves it!I highly recommend you check it out

I haven't been back here in a while and felt like some fast casual Korean food. I stopped by for an early dinner and the place was empty but still busy with takeout orders being filled and picked up. I could have taken my bowl to go, but what fun is bibimbap in a paper bowl?? In my mind, if you're gonna "bibim" your "bap," go full dolsot-bibimbap! Translation: Get it "for here" in a hot stone bowl. Why, you ask? This is the best way to have everything in the dish hot and most effectively mixed. Plus, the caramelized rice is not to be missed. (Just don't try to use plastic utensils in the bowl... they'll give you metal spoon+fork or wooden chopsticks.)I had the beef bulgogi with white rice, all of the toppings, a fried egg and gochujang (chili pepper) sauce. It showed up at my table sizzling (the stone bowl takes a bit longer and they're in limited supply, but I had the place to myself and I wasn't in a hurry -- lucky!) Tip: white rice caramelizes better than brown. Also, use the spoon to scrape the sides of the bowl a few minutes after mixing things up to let another layer of rice come in contact with the hot stone. (More crunchy goodness!)The ambiance is nothing special-- there are parallels to Chipotle in both the dining area's ambience and the "have them build your bowl" model: you can leave off what you don't like. The guy behind the counter was friendly and the portion was large. Hopefully, I can make it back again soon. (Please don't use all the stone bowls; save one for me!)

The food at Bibio is satisfying and filling. I absolutely love Korean food, so I was down to have some fast casual for lunch. It's Chipotle-style, so you can do a bowl, get protein, and add toppings and sauces. I got the brown rice bowl with beef and spicy Korean BBQ sauce, with all the toppings. One piece of feedback I had was that the kimchi was lacking the strong flavor it normally does. Otherwise, it's pretty solid if you want quick and healthy. The service was fine. The tables were sticky and the bathroom was grimy so it just seemed like the place needed a deep clean.

Yummy bowls and chicken wings! If you have a craving for Korean fast food and Korean fried chicken wings! This place hits the spot.Prices are affordable! I will definitely be back.

Stopped in for lunch on a recent business trip through the area, this is good a Korean BBQ place. Walk up counter service that is courteous and professional, place your order and the server will prepare it for you as you move through the service line. Even adding a fried egg only takes a moment, your bowl is presented to you when yourorder is ready. Pay and grab a seat. After viewing the overhead board I opted for the classic BYOBowl this is pretty much you build it the way you like with choices of rices, greens, spices, meats and sauces. I went for brown rice with a spicy chicken, kimchi, beautiful mixed greens shredded cabbage and sauce with an over medium fried egg on top. It was very good and filling with just enough heat to let you know you'd been there. This small eatery is very industrial and minimalist on the inside, with a small amount of seated space to eat, a lot of the orders are take it to go. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the authentic Kimchi 00869

Not sure what the fuss is about with this place? From the moment you walk in I was disappointed but figured I'd see it through. I started by asking some questions on the menu and the staff was vague at best on their responses. I ordered the wings and the dumplings.The restaurant is filthy and doesn't look like it's maintained at all. Wings came out, and despite asking them to be extra crispy, they looked identical to my partners. No sesame seeds or anything like pictured. The dumplings were bland, I had to ask for sauce and despite the menu stating they had two dipping sauces, all I received was a small cup of soy sauce. Entire meal, with bottled water was a little over $22. I'll reconsider my options next time and definitely not be back. Staff was polite but lack training in most areas from what I can tell. Sad to see a business with so much potential wither away like this.

We ended up not eating here. There was a lot of items that were not prepared. Missing Kim chi, spicy pork chap Che, no cucumber. This is in the middle of the lunch hour on a Sunday? Terrible!!
