Food is healthy and delicious. I definitely recommend the bibimbaps. I had both the Soo Bak and Staff Pick versions and both were amazing. I love the self-serve water, napkin, and utensils as this cuts back on unnecessary dish cleaning and unlimited water refills. Staff is friendly and helpful to first timers :)

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Their Korean fried chicken was very tasty and the sauce had just enough heat to keep the meal interesting. My son and I very much enjoyed the egg roll appetizer. This was my first experience trying eggplant noodles and I think we both came away really enjoying them. The restaurant has a nice artsy feel. I've never been a fan of small metal chairs, but that's one small drawback to an otherwise great experience!

Delicious and authentic bibimbap bowls at a fair price. We ordered four bowls and the kimchi fireballs to go—everything was ready in about 25 minutes, which felt reasonably quick. That said, if you’re in a hurry, calling ahead might be a good idea. The food was outstanding, though it seemed like the portions of protein were a bit more generous during my visit last year. Two dishes I highly recommend are the kimchi fireballs—crispy, deep-fried rice and kimchi balls that make a perfect appetizer—and the Soo Bak BBQ bowl, a flavorful and classic bibimbap. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area that’s perfect for the summertime.
