You order at the counter when you walk in and they cookup fresh whatever you've gotten. I loved my spicy pork, came with rice, potato and egg - I didn't even end up using side gochujang, dish was perfect

Can't express how disappointing experience I had at this place.
I pick a bowl to go.
Not just the amount of food the kale was 3 leaves, corn was a joke, And don't get me started with the rice for the price this place charge. You can get 3 times more food at MEZE and cheaper. The worst part the avocado was going bad. Who does that serve food like that.

In person kimchi stew was good with pork belly but I also wish there was tofu in it. The pork quality could be better or less chunky? It’s a very savory stew so you need rice or something w rice to offset the savory and spicy. The in person bulgogi kimbap was much better than the tonkatsu gimbap in terms of flavor and presentation. I’d try to eat in person here for the food experience in person being better but there’s only a few tables and a very casual setup.

For a prior separate delivery order, Ttukbokgi is spot on with the rice cakes being chewy and the sauce being mild and not too spicy. The tonkatsu gimbap was ok but I didn’t think it was all that flavorful but it was filling probably too hefty as part of gimbap. Probably would order tonkatsu itself next time. The side order banchan was small in portions and the potato side dish was good but the kimchi and radish kimchi tasted kind of stale. I’d probably order a bibimbap next time in addition to ttukbokgi.

UPDATE:
I finally had the opportunity to visit this place in person this January and wow...it truly lived up to all of the expectations I had built up after ordering their takeout / delivery a few times more than what was probably financially healthy. Their kimchi jjigae is somehow even better when served piping hot and fresh in the restaurant, and their side dishes are delicious. I came here for my first meal back in D.C. after winter break, and digging into their incredible kimchi and tofu stew after bracing the cold to walk here from Georgetown felt like a warm and delicious hug. Sure, is $16 a little expensive for soondubu jjigae? Yes. But is it absolutely worth every cent, especially if you aren't able to trek all the way to Annandale to access the rest of this area's authentic Korean food? Also yes.

This place is absolutely incredible! I was really craving some Korean food but didn't have time to metro all the way down to Annandale, so I decided to give this place a shot. It absolutely did not disappoint; all of the food was delicious, plentiful, and affordably priced. I placed my order on UberEats and, when it arrived at my doorstep a mere 20 minutes later, everything was still hot and remarkably well packaged. I'm often worried about ordering soups on UberEats, but BibiMix puts their soup containers into tiny plastic bags to ensure they avoid any spillage (a very small detail, but still one that shows how conscious of customer needs their staff is). I ordered soondubu kimchi jjigae and a roll of avocado kimbap. The soondubu came with white rice, as well as sides of pickled white onions, avocado, and cucumber kimchi, which were the perfect balance against the stew's heaviness and rich flavor. The portions are also fantastic -- I personally split the soondubu across two separate meals, and ate the avocado kimbap for a light lunch a couple of days later.

All around, I can't recommend this place enough. I can't wait to revisit this spot in person once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted!

Hungry but don't have the time to drive down to Annandale, but want authentic Korean food that is easy and quick, and also easy on the wallet? Look no further. Bibimix is right in the heart of the Orange Line Corridor in Eastern Arlington. From Hot Stone bibimbap to To go kimbap, you can't go wrong. Order to eat in to sample their banchan menu, including authentic kimchi, properly fermented, and also the Korean American canned Makkolli!

It’s was my first time experiencing this restaurant and it was okay. This rating is based purely on the food. The service and vibe of the restaurant was good. Okay, let’s talk about the food! It was a bit disappointing to my boyfriend and I. The kimchi pancake was not spicy. We expected more from a flavor experience. Stop holding back and let the flavor out. My chicken bowl could of used more vegetables. I wanted more chicken in my bowl but I guess I never asked for that. It was bit of a one note - noodles. No extra sauces were provided when I thought I heard they were added in the bag. Honestly, I won’t go back because it was bit below average for a fast casual spot.

Headed out for lunch during a break while attending this virtual training. The original agenda was to visit a taco truck and call it a day but I BiBiMix on the way and thought to make a stop here.

Ordered Korean Spicy Bowl and Wings. The waiting game began and it was quick. While waiting, I saw a friend from the gym so there was a quick hello there but coming back to the experience, food was prepared swiftly.

Took the food home and started with the Korean Spicy Bowl. The food was fresh, the chicken was delightful and every bite was refreshing. Yes I used the word refreshing which is commonly used for cold sweet eating items.

Now came the wings and boy I loved them. They had this layer of crunch and this crunch was different than any other wings I had. I appreciate this.

I would conclude it by saying that this place is a must try. The staff is wonderful, very courteous and there was a moment someone from the staff was calling me out but I did not hear this but when I did, I apologized but the guy behind the counter is very sweet and just smiled. I appreciate small things like that. The food was quick and fresh. I will come here again for sure.

Definitely a great place to stop by! Colorful variations to customize your perfect bowl for the day. Korean food made casual and fit for any palate. Love getting the kimchi bowl with popcorn chicken and soy garlic sauce!
