Bibimbap is a Korean dish composed of rice, vegetables and/or meat. This can be (but not always) served in a hot stone pot (that resembles a mortar). With some variations the stone pot can be hot enough so that the rice sizzles, sticks and slighty burns at the bottom (the best part hehe). Before you eat, you give it a good mix, making sure to scrape off all those burnt bits, and bon' appetit!
BiBimBap SoHo - well the name says it all. A Korean restaurant in SoHo that serves bibimbap!
BiBimBap SoHo is probably more well known for their interior decor - polaroid pictures of their customers arranged in pretty patterns on their walls - I have to admit - its one of the reasons why I wanted to eat here in the first place!
So one evening me and the boyfriend decided to pop by and try our luck for a seat! We were lucky and got a seat, on a peak time Friday evening, and almost immediately as well! Phew!
We ordered kimchi pancake as a starter, which was yummy. The pancakes came with soya sauce. This dish was nice, but quite standard.
I ordered a chilli chicken bibimbap which was sooo yummy! I'm glad I ordered it, hehe. Perfectly spiceyand enough vegetables and rice.

The boyfriend ordered the raw fillet beef - which was again very yummy. But I personally think the Chilli chicken was tastier!

Overall this quirky affordable little place has a very nice buskling atmosphere. The waiters are nice and the service is relatively quick. The price isn't too bad ~£6-7 for a bibimbap. The food is nice - but not particularly special.
Food = 6.5/10
