I was not disappointed -- it was chockful of chile, with plenty of rice cakes and tofu, too. Panchan offered was fish cakes, more kimchi, and spicy soybean sprouts. Oh, and I got rice, too. Plenty of food for $8.95. I’ve been fighting a nasty cold, so I went there today for some kimchi jigae, requested extra spicy.

I am an Indian and lived in Korea for 2 years and I am a vegetarian and bibimbaap was like my staple food there..though I had to explicitly tell them no Meat.... there are many variants of bibimbaap available in Korea...like Jeonju bibimbaap, dolsot bibimbaap, Chinju bibimbaap etc.... Try dolsot bibimbaap....its awesome and it is cooked in a stone vessel.....tastes very very good...but the key to Bibimbaap is the freshness of the ingredients & ofcourse the Banchan.... a key ingredient, seasoned Mushrooms are missing in this banchan shown in the photo. Hot seaweed soup or bean sprout soup with a touch of pepper usually accompanies bibimbaap in Korea. Bibimbaap is yummy….

I was so excited to read the original post. But, this place has gone way downhill! Price is now $8.95, with only 2 side dishes and a nasty egg omlette on top instead of a fried egg. boo. Uf!

There was no mention of meat on the menu, but my bowl included a generous scoop of beef. The veggies, meat, egg, and soup were all very good and even at the higher price I think that it is a good midtown deal. The people who work at the Korean Food counter are extremely friendly, to boot, a refreshing change from some other places on the block (namely Manhattan Cafe). I just paid $7.99.

I am extremely disappointed and would not go again. This barely resembles the dish as prepared in true Korean restaurants. The portion was generous but the ingredients were raw and cold, and the egg was completely cooked through. It was basically a korean salad. It's sad that there are no Korean restaurants above 42nd street. I wish Han Bat on 35th street (the best inexpensive korean in manhattan) would open up here!
