Having lived 30 years in Korea, I know what good Korean cooking is. Bi Bim Bap make very good Daeku Jiri (clear broth cod soup). Jiri is the clear broth version of Tang(spicy version), and it should start from a fresh fish because there is no spice to mask the taste of lesser quality fish. The Jiri is as good as one I had in good specialized seafood restaurants in Seoul.
My wife was indulged in Jaeng ban Kuksu (spicy cold noodle salad). The sauce is just right. Neither too spicy nor sweet. The doneness of the noodle is perfect. It rivals one from renowned restaurants in Seoul.
We have visited the restaurant two times in 7 month period. The quality of the food was consistent in the two visits. I like the quality control.

Visited BiBimBap for a Sunday dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. Not only was our server, Ryo, very attentive and professional, the food was excellent. Ryo noticed my difficulty with chop sticks and brought me a fork.
BiBimBap is a touch difficult to locate as it is in the basement floor of a partial mall with no large signs to direct you. BiBimBap is a very Americanized version of a Korean BBQ in Seoul. One does not take their shoes off at the door and you sit on benches and not cushions on the floor.
Their kimchi was almost as good as what I enjoyed in Korea. My wife ventured outside her comfort zone and had the chicken BiBimBap bowel, complete with an over easy egg.
I will return and try a different dish.
Ein Prosit.

I took my wife to a late lunch and went for Korean BBQ. The waitress was rude and rushing us slaping are meat on the grill we asked her to stop we got this then she started talking under her breath. Also she kept put her arm over our food when we asked her to stop again talking under her breath. We just wanted to have a nice chill meal. But instead got rushed and had the Audacity to stop and ask for a tip noooooooooooooo the hell u didnt.

Such a different experience than previous visits over past several years. Waitstaff - she was unwelcoming, rude, & very impatient. My husband & I were embarrassed we brought our adult kids & out of state guest here tonight. We had reservations but what a HORRIBLE experience. Food was just ok. Side bowls were fewer & smaller than previous times. Don’t think I’ve ever encountered such an awkward dining experience.

If you have not tried Korean BBQ, it can be a little confusing. This is a great place to go to get acquainted with the food and style. The owner/manager was so very friendly and helpful. Our waitress stopped by several times to assist with the cooking. The items (roll, sauces, and sides) are made in house which is always a way to ensure freshness. The "coleslaw" is not your grandma's recipe- but give it a try! The pickled radish was the also a perfect crunch for the meat and rice. The kimchi was also good, but could use a little more spice.

This was our first time here. Aside from being very difficult to find in the basement of an office building our visit was very enjoyable. We had the appetizer portion of shrimp tempura which was very good and quite generous in size. We also had the eponymous Bebimbap which was excellent. It stayed scorching hot in a stone (ceramic?) bowl. The bottom layer of rice was pleasantly crispy. Before the entrée came we were served four Korean style veggie appetizers. I can't say they were tasty, I guess you have to develop a taste for them. Soup was also included with the Bebimbap. Prices, we thought, were very reasonable and the service was very good.

My husband and I went out to see a movie, came here for dinner. Parking lot available right outside of restaurant. The best Korean BBQ I've had in michigan yet.

If you haven't eaten here, you have missed a lot. This place is incredible. Yes, expensive. On average, for me to eat here with one other person, it's about $100+ splitting a Saporo. But, the quality is excellent, it is a nice experience and, yes, you cook your own food. Yum Yum Yum!

Clear recommendation to try this restaurant if you like asian food. We ordered Korean Hot Dish served in a large pan on a gas stove integrated in dining table: Haemul Jeongol.
Spicy but delicious seafood!
Only downside is the environment: restaurant is located inside of a mall with basically no further shops still around...

Been ages since I have been here. We decided to go since we weren’t far from it and made the extra drive out of our way to go since I have always liked this place today.
Started with some hot barley tea, miso soups, spicy salad with romaine and green onions, spicy Cali roll and chicken bibimbap as my hubbies main entree and I got the kimchi jjigae soup. Was craving a soup today.
The miso soup was good and gentle on my stomach which is sketchy when it comes to anything with seaweed or seafood in it, had my hubby eat my seaweed from my soup. The Spicy salad was good but a bit more runny with their version of the dressing and got all over the place. Need to eat it close to the plate to keep it clean. The Spicy Cali was okay, nothing special.
The waiter seemed confused when I first asked to get the tofu soondubu jjigae and add rice cake, he said they had no rice cake, but then I got the kimchi jjigae that has rice cake in it. Ok.
The chicken bibimbap was decent.
My kimchi jjigae had a hotdog or pork sausages and pieces of ham or bacon in the soup. The waiter asked if I wanted pork and I had told him no. Yet I ended up with a ton of pork meat in my soup and had to pick them all out, along with all of the fat pieces. Luckily I am not a strict vegetarian or they would have to make it again, which by the way wasn’t offered and all I received was an apology for the waiters mess up.
Their kimchi is ok, not as good as what I buy from Kagopa. The potato side is not bad as is the Evan sprouts. Some radish kimchi or cucumber kimchi would be nice instead or in addition.
The bill total was $39.59, we asked if there was a price difference from the soodoobu or kimchi jjigae and the cashier laughed and suggested we tell the waiter or staff that I want it vegetarian. I told her we told him I didn’t want seafood or meat and still got meat. She laughed and gave me a fake smile and said to make sure to let the waiter know I want no meat. No one here has a clue. Oh well. Not planning on coming back here again since the food is mediocre at best and staff seems and management are absolutely clueless here on what customer service. It seems the norm that most Asian restaurants don’t give two squats if they mess up and certainly won’t consider fixing it or giving you anything to compensate. Not that I have to have a compensation for a mess up but it’s certainly nice when it’s offered due to their mess up.

Enjoyed Korean BBQ with friendly waitress, who cooked for us on the table. They serve Japanese beers not Korean's. Kimchi was not something I was expecting. Yukke, raw meat was served frozen and was awful, but over all, the meal was enjoyable.
