Bibigo

The end of the line for this worthy experiment.
Went to dinner Friday night and learned it will be closing Sunday. Can only guess that the Beverly Hills rent did them in. I personally loved the idea of Korean food in a stylish sit-​down restaurant — but it had a lot of competition on this stretch of Beverly.
I hope the parent company gives it another try, maybe in Hollywood, Studio City, or one of the beach cities. Why not NoHo or Silver Lake for that matter. Will be missed.

Great spot to get a healthy and satisfying meal in a cozy location. The hot stone combinations are customizable to your taste based on protein choice (or go veggie) along with various sauces.
Get the black rice and add the egg. Trust me.
The fig and avocado salad is also tasty and unique.
So sad to hear this location is closing on Sunday.
Other locations are more of the fast casual style. I may go to get my hot stone fix, but this place along with friendly staff will be missed.

Firstly, I would recommend that you not open your restaurant if you do not have any menus available for customers. I sat down for 10 minutes without any service, without a menu until another customer was done with theirs and then I got my turn to spend my money. What a privilege. The restaurant is very loud.
3 stars because the food was fast, great and very healthy, but to start off my meal with a bad taste in my mouth was not satisfying.

Love this place
Great service, Fast and Friendly
I keep coming back for the fried calamari and the fried rice
The sesame sauce is delicious
The rose Iced Tea is really refreshing
Prices are very reasonnable

solid restaurant to get your korean food fix, especially if you are not ready to gorge yourself in AYCE KBBQ.
I feel like you get a generous portion for the amount, and great service by wait staff and hosts whenever I order to go or eat in.
I keep coming back. The glass noodles have plenty of sesame oil, the spicy sauces have plenty of kick, and the meat has great flavor and is always cooked well. My ribs are never too tough, and you can tell that they marinate the meat.
Always hard to choose what to get because everything has been quite delicious.

I love this place. I’ve tried the bulgogi stone rice bowl and the kimchi fried rice which is also served in a stone rice bowl. Both are absolutely delicious. The kimchi fried rice has a bit more flavor. If you go wtih the bulgogi bowl, then you should definetly pour in the delicious extra sauce they give you. This place is cute because they serve their food in a hot stone rice bowl where you can basically cook it yourself for fun. I love the runny egg they give you on top of your bowl. You can cook it because the bowls are hot enough.
Even the servers are extremely friendly and one of the waitresses even remembered me! I will forsure be coming back not only for the good food, good service, but good price as well. Yes to bibigo!

The service alone would make me give Bibigo 5 stars in a heartbeat! You are made feel SO welcome from the moment you enter the door, to the time your order is taken, to when you sit down and are brought your food to the moment you leave! Everyone is so kind and genuinely cares about your overall experience, which is incredibly refreshing :)
Brian is super nice and helpful!
In addition, the food is fantastic! I highly recommend the hot stone bibimap and the citron soy sauce. The best part is that you can customize your meal exactly the way you’d like it, and it’s not made until you order! The food is delicious, and so well priced for the experience you get!
HIGHLY recommend eating here if you’d like a great and inexpensive Korean BBQ meal in Westwood! They even do takeout!
The servers here are very attentive to your needs, filling your water repetitively even if you don’t need it. They also know how the food is supposed to look – when my friend ordered their noodles in hot stone, the waiter noticed that the noodles were not emitting steam like it was supposed to. Even though she already took a few bites, he took it back and gave her a new one which was now emitting steam. They really care about the quality of the food.

BIBIGO IS THE SHIT! (in the best way possible!)
Ryan is awesome and so is the rest of the crew. Funny thing is, I’ve only met Ryan once and he personally delivered my order to work. Other than him, Edgar — their main delivery guy, he comes through promptly!
My favorite from here is the Braised Short Rib! It truly melts in your mouth & I ALWAYS pair this with rice, but then again, what DON’T i pair with rice?! lol. Another item i love is their Steak Bibimbap over kimchi/​brown rice with extra egg! The flavors in these dishes are pretty savory so, i hardly have to add any extra sauce or seasoning! Lastly, their Kimchi Soup is my go-​to when I’m feeling under the weather. The smell bothers the hell out of my co-​workers but that won’t stop me from ordering this. ever.
Overall, i’m satisfied with the service, the food, and delivery.

Uhhhhh just because Psy is the Bibigo spokesman, is that why the a Unilocal stars are so high? If Bibigo is supposed to be a healthy rendition of Korean food, at least give a little side of kimchi. Dinner started off tasty with the spicy pork buns, soft bread, pickled veggies, and pork marinated authentically. This dish was the highlight, but not quite sure if it’s worth $ 7 for 2 buns.
I was excited to try the red chicken with fried okra, but was disappointed. The red chicken was a poor take on a spicy orange chicken. The meat was more chewy than getting Panda Express that has been sitting in the warmers for 5 hours.
The hot stone chicken bibimbap was dry, even after adding sauce. I appreciated the fresh veggies of bean sprouts, kale, broccoli, and mushrooms. I’m not sure what all this Bibigo hype was all about. I guess I should have known better when I walked in at 7:30 for dinner and there were no more than 5
tables occupied.

Go now for their dineLA menu before it ends on 7.27 because you get a lot of food for only $ 15. (or $ 25 for dinner)
We came here for lunch; specifically for their dineLA lunch menu.
You get:
+ Appetizer sampler of salad, glass noodles, and spicy/​sweet popcorn chicken
+ Choice between three bibimbap: salmon, glabi, or steak with a choice of white, brown or black rice, and three different sauces
I got their steak bibimbap with black rice and sesame sauce and it came with broccoli, mushroom, kale, bean sprouts, and onions. I also added a fried egg for an extra dollar. It was served in a sizzling hot stone bowl with sauce on the side.
The appetizer was really good. I really liked the spicy kick from the fried chicken with the tasty glass noodles. As for the bibimbap, I liked how all the flavors melded together with the black rice, sauce, steak, and veggies. It was super hot, so don’t get too excited and blow before you take that first bite. I’ve never had black rice before but I really liked the flavor and it complemented the dish well.
Service was good and attentive; food came out promptly.
Check-​in and get their iced rose tea for free.
Parking is on the street only.

If you want AYCE Korean BBQ place or some soon doooboo (Spicy tofu soup), then Bibigo is NOT for you! This is not your typical Korean restaurant. It’s in Beverly Hills, and chopsticks are not part of their eating utensils. But nonetheless, Bibigo was a pleasant surprise for me!
My friend and I decided to roll the dice and try Bibigo for Dine LA. $ 25 for dinner, and 3 dishes. Here is a quick run down of what I ordered:
Appetizer: Seafood Pancake (squid, shrimp, sliced leeks, arugula, soy citron sauce)
Entrée: Braised Shortrib
Dessert: Korean Sweet Pancake (Korean sweet pancake, raspberry, vanilla ice cream)
Everything on the Dine LA menu was great. The Seafood pancake was a bit overcooked because the corners were burnt and gave it that unnecessary charcoal taste, but aside from that, it was great. I’m used to eating Korean pancakes with some soy sauce and red chili flakes, but the Soy Citron sauce they used was a great balance to the seafood inside the pancake. The braised short rib really stole the night. The meat was very tender and it just fell off the bone. The Korean Sweet Pancake was good, but I wasn’t crazy about it. It reminded me off a funnel cake which is not a bad thing, but I think I was hoping that they had put Korean shaved ice in the Dine LA menu.
Slight hiccup during the end of the night. They gave us our bill, but failed to serve the dessert because they forgot. We had to wait longer for our dessert. However, they seemed very apologetic and gave us complimentary rose tea which was refreshing.

The manager of the restaurant reached out to me and made sure that I was not charged twice (the 2^nd charge on my bank statement was never fully-​processed), and I appreciate that. At first he said he would actually delete both charges, but he never did — but I won’t push the issue.
I do think, with the extremely slow service and the fact that I and my co-​worker were very late getting back to work, the restaurant should have offered us some kind of discount on the spot for all of the inconvenience. That’s usually what you do.
Nice people. Hopefully they will replace their accounting system soon.

Supposively Korean celebrities go here to experience the bibimbap! It’s just that good… well, in reality, it’s not *that* good but it is decently good with good amounts of vegetables, greater than your normal bibimbap serving. I liked how there was broccoli, yum-​like American style. I thought this place was pretty hipster modern with the interior wood combined with glassware from Korean culture set up as décor on the wall shelves.
Backwards to my meal, the salmon dipping was too sweet by itself to pour over the bibimbap but paired perfectly with the salmon. Rosewater was such a nice light touch to compliment my meal. Staff was good and mostly attentive.
To note: parking is complimentary for 2-​hours before 6pm. We missed it by 5-​minutes, aw shucks, next time!:)

For a Korean restaurant that is pretty Americanized, this place is impressive. My friend and I came on a Monday night and it was relatively empty so we were seated right away. The service was impeccable! Waiters were attentive, but not pushy and took the time to explain to us the difference between each bibimbap.
Both of us went with the Galbi bibimbap with brown rice and the extra fried egg (for $ 1 more). It was served in a hot stone bowl so you can still cook it after it’s served and the sauces complemented the dish well. You kind of just experiment around with both the spicy and the sesame sauce until you’re happy. The bibimbap was great! I wish there was more Galbi for what I paid but otherwise, the veggies and the egg and the rice were nothing short of amazing. It’s important to note that the bowl is SUPER HOT so I burned my tongue quite a few times, which took a toll on my dining experience.
Overall, the check came out to be around $ 17 per person, which is kind of pricey but not too bad. You can check in to get a «special drink,» which was either the rose tea or passionberry tea. I went with the passionberry but it barely tasted like anything so I preferred my iced water. I wouldn’t go out of the way to come here, but I’ll definitely choose bibigo if I see it amongst other places elsewhere!

Simple Asian dishes «booshiefied» and Americanized always tend to disappoint, but this place expelled that idea. Located in the middle of Beverly Hills, this Korean fusion spot was a surprise to find with its affordable prices and quality food.
Food: A small, simple menu with easily recognizable Korean bites such as Kimchi Fried Rice, Tofu soup, Bibimbap, Seafood-​Veggie pancake, and other noodle/​rice dishes. We ordered the Unilocal recommended Hot Stone Bibimbap with Bulgogi, brown rice, and a fried egg. This dish was very well-​executed. it came with two sauces on the side (sweet or spicy) that complimented the dish nicely, either way you go. Plenty of fresh vegetables, Bulgogi had excellent flavor, and the hot stone making the rice crispy made the dish quite satisfying.
The Red Chicken is cooked the same way, having the same texture as Orange Chicken. it just has a sweeter and spicier taste to it. The chicken comes with a couple fried Okra. very tasty when you dip it in the Bibimbap sweet sauce.
The portions are all pretty decent. my girlfriend and I couldn’t finish these two dishes together.
Ambiance: A trendy little pot that doesn’t resemble any typical Asian restaurant. with an entire non-​Asian staff and no sign of that distinctive KBBQ/​soup/​oily scent. Their modern, attractive look sets up perfect for lunch meeting or casual lunch with friends.
Service: Hosts could have been a little bit more welcoming. a little cold and seemed unhappy at the moment. Servers were great though. they were very helpful and even caught be Unilocaling and asked me if I wanted to use their check-​in offer.
Tips: Make good use of the sauces that come with the Bibimbap. it definitely livens up the dish. Don’t forget to use the check-​in offer for a complimentary special drink.

It’s clean. It’s environment conscious. It’s healthy. But it’s more American than it is Korean.
Caveat: I am Korean.
Go to Koreatown my friends. If you want to see Rome, would the museum housing paintings of Rome suffice? I didn’t think so. Koreatown is just 15 – 20 mins drive from BH. If you want bragging rights of being diverse and culturally aware… Please get in your car, dodge the bad uninsured drivers in Koreatown and battle parking to only give in to the ridiculous tyranny of $ 2/​$ 3 valet parking, and experience food as a sojourner.
I don’t care if you pick Beverly Soondubu or that little place on Olympic and Vermont behind Hodori (please don’t go to Hodori unless your drunk and it’s 2 am after clubs have closed) or even the BCD. Just make sure you ktown that experience. Don’t cheat the system and brag to your Korean co workers that you went to a Korean restaurant and somehow have bought you a ticket to Korean cool. We may nod in acceptance but inside we know what you did. Don’t cheat. Do it right!
Viva Koreatown!

The Decour is pretty nice and the prices seem just right. I think this would be a great casual date place.
Remember to check in to get free a special drink.
I ordered the bulgogi mushroom rice and my wife ordered the spicy pork both a very good!

3 Stars for Bibigo. I came here over the weekend and because it had 4 stars on Unilocal we thought we would give it a try. Eh… It was alright. We wanted to try the specialty tea (that they offer when you check in on Unilocal) and they were all out. Strike 1. Strike 2, they were also out of another tea that the server had already offered us since they didn’t have the other specialty tea. The service was ok. Our server was nice and got the job done. The food was good. I had the Steak Bibimbap. Will I jump for joy and want to come here again right away? Probably not, but the overall experience was good.
I hope this helps you decide on which restaurant to go when you’re out and about on Beverly Blvd in Beverly Hills. :)

Korean fusion food.
+Trendy, hip décor
+Food tasted good
+Healthier options than traditional Korean (Brown rice, Black rice, Kale, etc.)
–Pricey
–Small portions
–Hard to park

Yummmmmy!!!
Restaurant look and feel, and staff is all Americanized so I was a bit hesitant to try this place for Korean food… Food presentation was lovely and food was actually super yummy! And I felt eating what I got!
Ordered their brussels sprouts for an appetizer. Had loads of garlic in it. Yum! And the actually bibimbap comes with either black or brown rice, which is definitely a healthier option on carbs. Was sad that the spicy sauce was not go chu jang though…
Definitely plan on going back!
