Bop Bop

So this was my second visit. First visit almost a year ago, and some things have changed. First visit, you were greeted by the staff, and they took your order and explained the variety of ingredients to choose from. This past visit, we waited for the one person making the orders to look our way and was finally pointed in the direction of a kiosk near the register. It was so impersonable, and you don't get help with selections. Didn't care for this at all. They may need to reconsider having a person help with the orders.The food is great! You can make your own Korean rice bowls with toppings galore. They bowls are large and very filling. They also offer various Korean soups, pancakes, and rice. The price is very reasonable as well.

This spot is located in the Urban District Market food hall. It's a Korean stall that offers bibimbap and a few other options. Here, you can build your own bowl and choose a hot stone or traditional bowl. I had the bibimbap with beef. I put too many items into it (that's my bad), but once I took off the things I didn't know I didn't like until I tried them, it was pretty good. I do wish that they would have given a standard ingredient list so that I could have just had a traditional bowl.

The food is flavorless oily and disgusting. They need to put a new restaurant in place of this place. The people at the counter is not friendly at all.

Oh my goodness. Bop Bop is BOPPING. I went to Urban District Market with very low expectations. I mean, the place currently has 3.7 stars on Yelp. But my friends, do not be fooled because that rating does not reflect Bop Bop's food. I ordered their Dumpling Rice Cake Soup, and I was blown away. The soup was rich, but not heavy. The dumplings, I believe, were HOMEMADE. Say what?! And they were that much more authentic and delicious. The egg was made the traditional way, with so much love. And there were ample amounts of rice cakes! Also, it came with free side kimchis, which is super rare these days. Overall, I cannot wait to go back. WOWEE!!!

I have never left a one star review before. The employee was lovely, service was fine however, the food. It's been a long time since I've been this let down by a meal. We had just went hiking and we were starving so it should've been an easy W, however, the portion sizes that we received for $17 were so deeply upsetting. There's just no way. It's literal robbery, it's like half a meal. It's 1/3 of what you would get at most Asian spots for twice the price. The food was not impressive in any way either, very very bland and temp was lukewarm. Honestly it just may have been a bad day? I want to give them benefit of the doubt but they won't last long like this. It was very bad experience, I regretted it and I didn't even finish the meal even with the small portions. Sorry
