Bibimbap in Glasgow City

Went here for some Korean food, we had the bulgogi beef wraps which were delicious and the Korean fried chicken which was okay. It's good fried chicken it's just not Korean at all, the sauce is on the side and not a classic fried chicken sauce. Feels more like a sell Korean food to the UK rather than good Korean food. If you fancy Korean fried chicken make the trip out to kimchi cult in the west end so much better

I enjoyed Tteokbokki and bibimbap. The staff are attentive and kind. Will be back again for Korean food. Thank you

Caution(!): Portions are huge, but the food is incredibly tasty and reasonably priced! I especially love the tteok-bokki here - I’ve had it in other places, but here it’s perfectly soft and tender, whereas elsewhere it can sometimes be a bit tough to chew. The space is limited, so you might have to wait for a table, but if you’re not in a hurry, it’s totally worth it. The cozy atmosphere adds to the experience, and the food more than makes up for any wait time!

Food was good, portion size is fantastic. Service was below average. The staff kept chatting among themselves, it was difficult to ask for one when we needed....idk more water, napkins or cutlery. 2 of us got served super early, 2 of us got served late. It'd make sense if 4 main course dishes are served together, and the large fried chicken platter is served earlier.

Food was OK, quantity was good and prices are reasonable. The Korean fried chicken was a bit of a disappointment with the batter almost like a fish and chip batter and sauce on the side, I’m a lover of kimchi but it just didn’t have a huge amount of flavour and certainly not much spice. The beef bibimbap was nice but that was about it. Also they unfortunately couldn’t serve alcohol due to a licensing issue but to be fair flagged it to all customers coming in.

I love their gimbap and kimchi best combo ever

Had the Bibembap, it was amazing. Best meal I had while in Glasgow.

Great food, good value, quick service and well worth a visit if you like Korean food. There was no alcohol served when we visited, but that made no difference to us.

Great Korean food, nice interior, kind and helpful staff. The music was a bit loud tho. But definitely a recommendation.

an asian’s perspective - the best korean food we had in the UK! the bibimbap (we were able to change the beef to pork) & kimchi jigae (best eaten with rice) were so delicious & comforting on a rainy day, the topokki was so soft & spicy a we loved it ❤️ service could be a little better tho, the waiter was preoccupied with his friends & the owner was grumpy.

Here's the translation of your text: "The weather was cold, so I wanted to eat Korean food for the first time in a while, so I went into the restaurant. However, when I said hello, the staff didn’t greet me, so I thought he was Chinese, but it turned out he was actually Korean. His expression was so intimidating, and the rice was so undercooked that I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be rice or something else. The stew was salty, and there weren’t even any basic Korean side dishes. This is a really bad restaurant that promotes Korean food to foreigners in this way because they think foreigners are ignorant. I’m ashamed as a Korean." In Korea, when you order a stew, it usually comes with rice. However, here they charge extra for the rice, making the price more than double. It's like they think British people are easily fooled. Don't be fooled by reviews

Katsu chicken curry and seafood fried rice were excellent. Staff were accommodating and friendly, and service was quick.

Had Jeyuk pork and it was incredible, lovely big portion, very surprised how cheap everything was and the staff were very polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes which helped me choose, we had a waiter who was on his first ever shift and I just wanted to say how polite and friendly he was as well as our other server who told me about the dishes, would definitely recommend going, my partner had katsu chicken and it was lovely and a great sized portion

Very delicious food! I had a noodle dish with meat and a spicy mayo sauce which was good. There was friendly staff and quick service

Our first day in Glasgow we found this restaurant on the front of cafe Nero , we tried the soup with tofu and clams is outstanding taste and the second time we come again we order and same soup plus seafood fried rice, we almost lick the plates 😎 the service is amazing too , they all friendly and smiling , we’ll definitely will be back again to this restaurant when we visit Glasgow next time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍😍😍

Was not planning to go this one. Me and my friend had plans to dine in someplace else but there was wait at the other place. So came in to try this place. I am a vegetarian and i cannot eat egg. The options were quite good. The staff member helped as well with the suggestion. I tried the soup option with rice and tofu along with kimchi pancake. The food was absolutely delicious. I fell in love with the Korean food. Would definitely recommend to go there and will look forward to visiting this place again and trying other vegetarian options.

Delicious food especially cheese dak Galbi and pork fried dumplings. Fried chicken was okay

Their fried chicken is amazing I would say it has to be about the best I have had. And the service was great to.

in danger of missing a train, we were saved by this little restaurant right next to the station, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. the food was flavourful, colourful, fresh and delicious (and not too expensive) and it arrived fairly quickly. the bibimbap came in a sizzling bowl with a miso side. we sat outside but even from there the music was a bit loud.

I really like the decor in this place, it is fairly small but they managed to have a nice decor with some posters and more notably the umbrellas on the ceiling. Plus the bibimbap is really good, exactly what we were looking for and then they delivered. The service was nice, very friendly and casual. Their prices are reasonable as the quality is high and we found the servings to be just right. We also had a side salad which was also very good, with a nice dressing.

Food was amazing! Best miso soup we’ve had in a while!! Really nice staff, amazing food and great music playing!!

Stopped for a quick lunch whilst in city centre. The staff were great and the cocktails were fab. Portions were huge and food was good quality. No option to cook your own BBQ though, so not quite as much fun as the sister restaurant.

In the Netherlands, we have a poem that ends with, "I wish I were two dogs today, then I could go play on this rainy day." At Bibimbap, I wished I were three grown men so I could try everything on the menu. We had excellent fried rice, lovely gimbap (vegetable sushi), fragrant bulgogi beef with fresh salad leaves, sizzling hot dumplings with kimchi and pork, sticky and spicy tteokbokki, and great fried chicken (medium = huge) with very addictive yumyum sauce. Amazing food, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Was in Glasgow for a conference and came with a colleague for dinner, we weren’t disappointed! Went for the tofu bibimbap. Crispy rice just as you would like it in a bibimbap, lovely selection of drinks and sides and courteous staff. Would recommend highly.

Nice atmosphere, tasty food, friendly staff and even free tap water!

Delicious food, a wide varity of choices, not to expensive, we got plenty of water for free, highly recommend,

Great Korean food in the centre of Glasgow. Stopped here for a quick lunch before my train. The prices are really reasonable and the staff were friendly. Ordered a beef Bibimbap. It was excellent, would really recommend.

Delicious beef bibimbap served on Korean hot plate. Generous portion and food stays hot so no need to rush, spicy sauce but nice and mild. Food arrived quickly. Service is great. Excellent location so close to Central Station Railway Station.

I ordered two takeaway meals, when I picked them up the staff told me that's my takeaway is ready and I collected the bag then headed back home. It was heavy rain and I needed to catch up train so I didn't have time to check it as I thought there shouldn't be any issues. When I arrvied home I found out there's one missing takeaway meal, I called back to the restaurant immediately but they said they looked around the restaurant there's no other takeaway bag left(possibly never been cooked.) and cut the phone down uncared as they said they are very busy.

Good food, good service, it was really busy, got too busy at one point , which is usually a good sign

This food was AWESOME to say the least. Me and my family are all vegetarian, but the menu was very accommodating to us. All in all, a great place to eat! Would recommend the vegetable udon. It's a great meal for people who aren't used to Korean food as well(in my opinion). Ten out of ten; would recommend.

The food was absolutely amazing. All ingredients were delicious and fresh. Also, the waiter was really nice and kind (we asked to take radish out of one dish and they made it without any hesitation). Packaging (we took for takeaway) had high quality so we managed to deliver everything.

Awesome food, service, atmosphere… and tunes 👌

Delicious fried chicken, rice, beer and soju. Great value and fantastic service. We will be going again for sure

While I can't speak for the authenticity of the restaurant, what I can say is the food is delicious. We can't wait to go again and try everything else on the menu.

Visited with friends for some dinner. Food was tasty but spicy dishes! Service was good with a good environment. Something a bit different

This used to be my favourite spot but recently the food quality got worse. I don't think I will be coming back to try again.

One of the most amazing and nicest waiters I’ve ever met in my life, in fact they are the nicest waiters. They were extremely kind and helpful to me, specially the male waiter with a cap, he’s extremely nice and helpful. I adore and love this man with my heart because of how kind he is. The food speaks for itself and it’s heavenly, the atmosphere and design of the place is so welcoming and aesthetic

Delicious Korean food. Great portions and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Callum and another server (i think he had dark blonde hair and was tall?) were super quick, accommodating and friendly! the food was absolutely delicious! I'm vegetarian so usually I ask for the tteokbokki without fish cakes so I was really glad to get a version without it! A lady also made sure to keep giving us fresh tap water because we had loads! The music was also nice :)

The food is insanely delicious. Kimchi pancake was scrumptious. Definitely will be back!

Value for money is a big plus here. The food is delicious, service is quick and the staff are very polite. Will deffo be back when I’m back in Glasgow!

Ordered through Just Eats. Had the vegetarian bibimbap and the kimchi pancake. Both absolutely delicious. Fresh and flavourful. I was really in the mood for something spicy, salty and sour. The kimchi pancake fit the bill. It is quite an oily pancake so I definitely wouldn't order anything else oily with it or it would be an overload. Also came with bonus miso which was delicious. The only down side was all the plastic containers, but it's no different to many other deliveries. Would definitely order again!

Welcome to clean, quick delicious katsu curry! The portion size will make you want to nap after, but a happy nap. Great balance of flavour and ingredients. Super quick even with a long line out of the door. The chilli chips are designed to make your day brighter. Get them. And then be happy this restaurant is in your life.

Good quality Korean dishes in large quantities at reasonable prices! Very good homemade fried chicken!

Since i knew thé bibimbap from Paris (which could be proposed with Brown rice) i tried thé noodles made of sweet potatoes and vegetables and tofu, quite good. I would have préfèred it spicy without thé sauce with glutamate in it. But good friendly place i recommend

Ordered a Bibimbap, which came with plastic wrapping of some sort in it mixed in with the dish. I was looking forward to it and couldn't enjoy it, hence 2 stars.

I liked it a lot, I recommend it 100%

Excellent food with a great atmosphere Place is a bit small but along as your looking for good food this really matters not Korean fried chicken was delicious with a good crispy batter Korean katsu chicken curry was a delight Bibimbap was served hott sizzling extremely delicious Definitely will be back

Family visit. Last minute decision. Seated quickly and ordered some drinks. Alcohol and alcohol free available. Order taken quickly. Decision was not made quickly. Great menu but requires google to translate even the English on the menu into a reliable understanding of what the menu was offering. Drink and food arrived promptly. Very good mixture of choices. All warm and very tasty. Beware of the fried chicken. The crumbs / panko crumbs just a tad too crunchy. You may lose a tooth. Staff very pleasant. Food overall very good. Will go back.

For anyone trying Korean food for the first time, this is definitely the place to go. I went there for the first time with my partner and tried 1) Tteok-bokki - Stri fried rice cake & fried Fish cake - 8/10 2) Bimbimbap - Beef , Veggies and Rice -10/10. Loved the beef in this 🫶🏽 3) Haemul Bokkeumbap - Seafood Fried rice. Entirely amazing. Loved the flavour of this one. Very friendly staff and the ambiance was cool. A wee place and they even had Simpsons on Tele. Must go y’all!

Having lived in Korea for several years, it would be too harsh to comment on foreign Korean food based on authentic Korean food. However, in my overall experience, except for bibimbap, everything else (fried chicken, kimchi pancakes, mixed vegetables) was average. It is possible that the taste has been adjusted to suit British preferences. I hope the taste of individual dishes can be adjusted.

The staff are really nice and helpful ! Dishes are served quickly . The mojito is made with pineapple and ginger, topped with lemonade. All the noodles and rices dishes are so flavourful and juicy! But the stone rice can be hotter and the bottom should be better with crispy based. The fries chicken is so crispy and not feeling too stuff or oily!light butter style, tender meat . The cheese kimchi fries is the only thing I would complain that the cheese was not melted and the fries are not warm enough . But it is still a nice meal . Will be back !

Great vibes in here, delicious food and great service. Been a couple times and will happily go again

Food is good but who closes kitchen just under 2 hours before closing??

Had a lovely date here last night. Best vegan food I've had in Glasgow so far, and I've eaten around a lot. Service was quick, and I never left like I was waiting. Really good taste in music that was playing also. Ticked every single box for me. Highly recommend. My only wish, which isn't a complaint, would be to have a separate vegan menu. So I've got a clear list of what I can have rather than finding the symbols on the menu. But they do what most restaurants do, hence I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Nice food, slightly over priced

lovely and helpfull staff, food is always amazing!

What's not to like?. Great food , great service , delicious cocktails, nice decor and a great atmosphere.

근처 호텔에서 투숙하다 우버를 통해 배달시켜 먹어봤습니다. 쉐프가 어디 사람인지는 모르지만 떡볶이는 꾀 한국의 맛이 납니다. 불고기덮밥의 양은 많고, 만두의 소스도 새콤매콤한 향으로 미각을 돋굽니다. 오이김치는 부추로 속을 채워 적당히 익었을때가 맛있는데 이곳 오이김치는 부추향이 없네요.

Bland food and uninspiring service made for a disappointing lunch. I will definitely not be coming back here. Very disappointed.

服務真的很糟 本來被其中一個服務生帶到四人座的位置 結果又被另外一個服務生帶到兩人座 不讓我們座兩人座的位置 結果下一組客人來就帶到兩人座 那個table從頭到尾都是沒有被訂位的 根本就是亞洲歧視。 泡菜湯呢非常的甜簡直是Syrup湯 然後音樂非常的不符合韓式餐廳氣氛一點都不好 不會再去了

Bing Bang Boak. Dinner here was so embarrassing. I wasn’t confident our chicken was cooked, my guests even less so. Fries were congealed. Staff looked depressed and just going through the motions, one guy just standing there doing nothing. I was looking forward to going to the restaurant next door because they’re owned by the same people, but now I know just to skip it and go to Ka Pao or Kimchi Cult for the real deal instead. Really, really poor. This is what I expect from Best Kebab. Two stars because none of us were ill afterwards.

The portions were big and very tasty, great prices and a lot of options to choose from. I loved the decoration of the restaurant as well.

2nd visit here and tasted really good. Can't fault the food and the atmosphere. Jeyuk bukkum really good, could do with some more ssam and some raw garlic slices would be great.

Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were great! The cocktails were wonderful too and the staff was helpful and friendly despite being so overwhelmed by how busy the restaurant was! Will definitely be back

We’ve eaten here loads of times and never had an issue but tonight the service was terrible. Staff ignoring customers and just chatting to each other, I ended up going to ask could I order. My food came as soon as my son had finished so not great. The female server was being openly rude about another customer right beside us. Her attitude towards the solo female customer was shocking! It’s so small inside you can hear everything.. the staff used to be great but this must have been an off night! I wouldn’t have tipped but was forced to. Food standard has slipped also. Won’t be going back.

Enorm lekker! Heel leuk aangekleed tentje met uitmuntend Koreaans eten. Prijzen zijn helemaal naar waarde en aardige bediening!

Delicious food and not overpriced like in similar restaurants. They're asking for any food allergies as well :)

Awesome korean restaurant with really tasty, authentic dishes. Would recommend the japchae (glass noodle dish), bibimbap (gotta have the bibimbap at bibimbap), and seafood pancake. Very good prices for the quality of food. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Amazing food, service could be better, the food was authentic, tasty and moreish, large portions as ended up with a doggy bag. I’m not what was going on with the staff, but it felt like they didn’t want to be there, in my opinion 3 staff Saturday lunchtime isn’t enough… we waited quite some time for some of our food to come out, had to ask for an extra drink, we weren’t asked if everything was ok, and they took far far to long to clear the table and bring the bill, and again to bring the card machine. Shame because the food was phenomenal.

Fantastic food and service - would recommend! 4/5 on atmosphere because music was a bit on the loud side. Otherwise perfect time there

The food used to be better but still in a good standard. However the service quality is really bad.. Staff doesn’t care customers and they keep chatting behind the bar.. I’m not sure whether they overwork or just ignorant but the quality of service should be better.. Besides, Korean chicken used to be much better please make sure to use good quality chicken because all i got was the skin of the chicken :(

Delicious food! Shame about the waitress with curly red hair who clearly didn't want to be there, was rude and took our order with her back to us.

Wonderful experience and delightful food.🫰

Excellent food, staff were very friendly too.

Great food, lovely experience. Staff open to explaining items on the menu. Decent prices - £13 for a kimchi stew that kept me warm the whole day, and that was on the high end of the menu. Would definitely recommend for a cosy meal.

I highly recommend this vibrant and stylish Korean restaurant. The kaleidoscopic umbrellas suspended from the ceiling add whimsical charm to a small but immersive restaurant. Enjoy some of the best Korean barbecue in Scotland here, all served in a modern and classy environment that mixes Korean fantastical cuteness with effortless bohemian chic. I was recommended this place by a friend, and now I recommend it to y'all!

The Korean fried chicken came highly recommended. I hope I just court this on a bad day but it was terrible. Chicken was over done and too hard and crispy and the last piece of chicken was black on the inside (picture attached).

It was just brilliant for the first time trying korean food, and it was delicious with warm welcoming staff.

아니 매장에서도 밥을 따로 시키나요?… 이럴수가 ㅠㅠ 김치찌개 시키는데 밥따로 시켜애 할줄 알면 따로 시켯을거에요 …. 밥없이 찌개만 먹네요..이거 써놔야 할듯 ..

I ate in bibimbap roughly five times a month mainly for lunches but it seems to be getting progressively worse. The food as normal is excellent but the atmosphere from the lacklustre staff and the absolutely horrendous playlists is now putting me off. The music yesterday was a mix between postapocolyptic doom which was utterly depressing, which switched to some sort of new age high pitched drawn out guitar. I complained saying this wasn’t enjoyable to be told that the waiter was sorry it wasn’t to my taste. I called later as I was on the website and saw there’s actually a lunch special which I’ve never been offered in all my visits (they kept that quiet and only offer the a’la carte) and was told that “oh yeah we have that but don’t want to run it anymore, but it is still available”.. I think I’ve had my last visit. Shame as the foods good but the staff are less than caring

Comida coreana muito boa (não sou coreano nem especialista em cozinha coreana, mas comi e gostei)! O preço é dentro do que se encontra na região. A música é excelente: anos 80 e 90.

I had Katsu chicken curry, the best curry I've ever had. Prices are very affordable , amazingly kind staff.

Delicious food!! Amazing staff and atmosphere!! Will definitely come back!

One is too much, like star. They are called Korean cuisine, but is more Scottish. Over cooked egg, they use concentrate of tomatoes instead of gochujang, little quantity of pork meat, too much rice and the quality of ingredients is not what you are expecting. Like it wasn't enough they charge me 5£ for the service 😤

Music was a bit noisy. We were hoping to hear some Korean music to add to the atmosphere

Fabulous food, loved everything they brought out

over my expectation!!! worth to try!!! Only thing wasn't good enough is some posters is from the Hong Kong movie not Korea🤣

The food is delicious, though when the menu says a dish is spicy it really is spicy! Pretty busy though so I'd recommend going off peak when it's quieter to be guaranteed a seat.

The food is great, very tasty! However, the music in the restaurant was very loud.

Proper korean food. Everything we tried was good, koran pancake, gimbap, fried chicken. Good value too.

Food and drinks were genuinely lovely, never been before will definitely be back! Staff couldn’t have been nicer, they happily explained soju to us and recommended a couple of flavours which were incredible! First visit but won’t be the last! Thanks so much guys for a great night!

김치찌개를 시켰는데 김치찌개만 나오고 밥은 따로 시켜야해요! 밥 가격은 4파운드! 헉!!! 반찬없음! 한국 스타일이 아니에요!

Got some sort of kimchi soup which came in a cast iron bowl the size and temperature of the sun. Many hours later, my insides are still confused. Will definitely return for more.

NICE ✨ awesome vibe and delicious food 💫 right in the middle of Glasgow city centre (very close to Glasgow Central). Food portions are okayish but they are all really really yummm 😋. P.S. Chicken cheese bulgogi was my favourite and kind of my comfort food ✨ so... highly recommended 💕

Wonderful experience, Amazing food, great service and cute ambience. Overall just loved it and enjoyed it. Would definitely visit again.

The chicken is literally black, why are you serving something like that to a customer

First time there and loved it with it's friend, chilled staff. You just rock up and hope for a seat so maybe avoid busy times. Liked how every meat dish has a vegetarian alternative and it waa very reasonable.

fab, had lovey food, was great to try something new, made some new friends while there, had a great time! 💕
