Bibimix

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.

This used to be THE 5 star place since coming across Bibimix in 2019. Before today, Bibimix had the most wonderful popcorn chicken at wonderful prices, large and small, chicken/pork cutlet, plus my favorite menu item, the Bulgogi Tteok-bokki. It was my go to place, either by picking up or via Doordash, it held wonderfully either which way! I eventually moved closer to the Courthouse area, which ended up making Bibimix my go-to treat every other week, sometimes every week! It got to a point of tradition to get Bibimix with some friends and enjoy the most delicious food you just can't find anywhere else. So what happened? in mid January 2022, For whatever reason, executive decisions were made to change establishment internally, from the way dishes were prepared (how chicken went from crispy, large pieces to flattened, soggy messes), to the portion of the dishes (12 piece to 6 in small, 18 to 12 in large), to the price of said dish ($17 for 12 smaller, soggier, boneless pieces of chicken?), down to straight up removing items from the menu (why remove the Bulgogi Tteok-bokki, the Traditional Korean sauce, along with other great tasting items you couldn't find anywhere else?). With all due respect to the establishment for being so wonderful up until now, I find this action to be the worst possible mistake. It's gotten to a point where I, along with my circle, can no longer recommend coming here until these changes are reversed and/or fixed. I can only hope that the changes being applied are temporary. I would feel terrible for anyone trying Bibimix for the first time today, as it was so, so much better just a month ago.
