I had never tried Korean Fried Chicken and the wings here were amazing. Definitely a pleasant surprise. Friendly staff and restaurant that is inside Liberty Public Market. Definitely give this place a try.

BOPJO is a Mexican-Korean fusion. Overall, their food was pretty average. Nothing in particular was extra special, but not like the food tasted bad either. I wish their meat was more tender and juicy, but ended up being kinda tough pieces of beef and pork. Got their beef bulgogi bowl, which was well-portioned. Their spicy pork tacos was also filling, and I'm always a sucker for corn tortillas for tacos. Their sauces were also decent. But again, nothing to go gaga for, however a decent meal. They are located in Liberty Public Market. Service was quick, server was nice with good recommendations, food came out in a reasonable time. No big complaints here!

Located on the side of Liberty Public Market in the beer hall area is BOPJO. I got the veggie bibimbap bowl. Huge portion and so delicious. The only thing I'd change is the amount of sauce. The rice at the bottom needed more sauce as I worked my way down. The service was super fast. And I will definitely try more items next time!

Friendly service and as a previous reviewer mentioned they give you a beeper which I like because then you can walk around without worrying about missing your order. The bowl comes with half spring mix and half rice, it would add to the flavor if the spring mix had a dressing on it. The bulgogi was very flavorful and I like that they had chopped up kimchi inside as well. You get to choose two sauces, I ordered gochujang and spicy aioli. Prince is around $15.

The many restaurants that I have been to in the past and those that have been to in the past many cities they have many tastes for different and the places which you can say are the places of the food markets and the many Mexican and British and European food markets. There are many foods that have been the first time around when I had received the RSVP, I thought the restaurant was going to be Chinese I took a lo0ok at the food online and what BOPJO meant yes it does look good. It was the weekend that I took the bus over to the Liberty Station taking the trolley out to the Old Town Trolley and taking the Bus 28 to the Liberty Station the bus trip was short the site of the base was one of the large size walking in and making my way down through the main parking lot it was one of the largest having to go by the many larger buildings and head to the back of the base. When you come to Liberty Station you have so many areas and the old history of the first Military Naval Base of San Diego the large rooms with the barracks you pass by which have been turned into the many retail and design stores for the Liberty Station. It took me about 25minutes to find the market and the many restaurants that they have inside the one thing that gave me the Indication was the large outdoor dining area with the many tables. Walki9ng to find one place reminds me of the many places in Las Vegas you do have to walk to many places on the Las Vegas Strip this area was one of the largest with the many restaurants and the delis they had gave me the indication the place was going in through the front doors of the market. There was a lot of people inside with the many people and the customers that were going to the many eateries and specialty shops it was like you had walked into the largest British Market the one that got my attention was the Korean BBQ. The many people that were ordering with the small area of the restaurant it was like the location was still getting things put in with the sign that was half lit and the Milar boards that were a dark yellow and brown most of the food choices they had were in ink pen posted on the wall next to the register. The welcome to the restaurant that I had to tell the cashier I was here for the Elite event she asked me for my name she was happy and smiling to see there was allot of people that had been crossed of the list. She asked me for my order taking a look at the menu boards there were some dishes that I had seen before the cashier had a list of food items that was for the event that were printed in dark ink the ones that I liked was the Korean BBQ tacos she told me they were Bela gong beef tacos with Kimchi sweet pickle relish and sweet sauce on the meat. The cashier gave me beeper for when my order was ready, I took a few minutes and look at the large food market holding the beeper it was about 7 minutes with the beeper had signaled me the food was ready. The food was placed in a brown grease resistant box with the heat was under the mark to have food that was cooked on the grill to see the size of the restaurant and the cooking area. I found seats outside in the dining area of the Liberty Food Market there was a lot of people I was still able find seats they had tables and chairs where I could sit down and enjoy the food. From the great service and the packaging, the time was a great service time with the heat level that was the question. I opened the container with the looks of the food have the looks of great tacos with the green onions and the Kimchi with good beef tacos they have the aroma the spicy was sweeter and the taste of the beef was very good combined with the green onions some of the best served in Corn Tortillas very fresh mild on the warm very fresh. The beef is one of the best and the flavor it could use more of the heat and serve hot the presentation and the food prep very nicely done. The other restaurants and the many flavors of the food it has the best presentation and to return back I would like to try the other dishes to taste the heat in the meat the presentation of the food ver

Came here for lunch, it was a busy Sunday at Liberty Public Market. The food vendor is in a stall inside the Mess Hall. They appeared to be understaffed, but the food came out in a reasonable time. The SPAM musubi was a hit! Not traditional, but with sweet egg and kimchee rice. The sweet egg balanced the saltiness of the SPAM. Yum! The miso soup was unremarkable The bulgogi tacos were okay, but I was unable to taste any of the meat, just the sauce bulgogi sauce. A miss for me. The spicy pork burrito was a disappointment, with most bites being of just rice and cabbage. I would have preferred a smaller burrito with less cabbage and rice so that I could actually taste and enjoy the spicy pork, which was not very spicy but had better flavor than the bulgogi. The pork also suffered from the same issue as the bulgogi however, in that the sauce overwhelmed any flavor from the pork.

The experience was great and the food was delicious. I’m not a big fan of traditional Korean bulgogi rice bowl, and I like Bibimbap much better. But this one, I like it a lot, it’s kinda surprised me because they combined a little Mexican flavor into the bowl. I like it half rice and half salad, also the two types of sauces are great. I love the kimchi jalapeño sauce! They also have tons of bulgogi meat on the top!

I've never heard of this place till recently due to yelp recommended. It is located in Point Loma, so prepare to try to find parking. Service was very fast. Food was also fairly portioned, got the bulgogi beef bowl. Inside had lettuce, japchae, white rice and kimchi. Would recommend coming here again to try other their other fusion food such as the bulgogi taco, but would come back!

Bulgogi Beef Bowl, No Salad, No Kimchi, All Rice. Double Sweet Mandoo Sauce. Bang Bang.

Just tried the pork dumplings. outstanding! The thin wrap was nice and crispy, and the filling moist and delicious. Will definitely order again!
This place is located in the beer hall/brewery area of Liberty Public Market, and I've been eyeing this place for a while! I'm glad I got to try it recently because I liked it! I love Korean food, so it's always exciting to see a Korean spot (even if its Korean fusion) in a diverse food hall with different cuisines. I went for the Bulgogi Beef bowl, which includes rice, greens, japchae, kimchi, and choice of 2 sauces. I chose the spicy aioli and the kimchi jalapeno ranch, which were both so good! As for the bowl itself, it is a little smaller than your typical bibimbap bowl (rice bowl) you get at a Korean restaurant, but it's a decent size for a filling meal. Japchae was a little hard and overly chewy, but flavor was still on point, so I was okay with it. Bowl was about $15 for all of this. Food was made super quickly, so everything is probably already made and just scooped together cafeteria style, however, they must get busy at times because they do give you a beeper to alert you when food is ready - something to keep in mind.

Bulgogi wasn't marinated looking enough and was pretty bland. Had their burrito which was dry dry dry. The only salvation was the side of sauce they gave me. Mexican cheese blend they put in was still cold and the ingredients weren't mixed at all. Many better Korean burritos. The kimchi fries were good hangover type food though. Ample cheese and sauce

I had the spicy pork rice bowl and fried Mandoo! Delicious! The pork was the right amount of spicy! The japchae was a delicious topping! The fried Mandoo was crispy and tasty with the sauce on top! If you're at Liberty Station this place is a must try!! Priced reasonable too!
