One of the best Asian Meals I've ever had. I need to find the pictures and post.

Really excellent food at great prices, welcoming and kind people. I will return...Edit: ownership changed and it became really bad. Everything fell off

Visited the restaurant which had signs sayin gathering are open on the street and lights in restaurant are on. Found parking and only discovered small sign indoor saying they will reopen. Please remove the street signs saying “Open” if you are not open. Thank you.

Place is closed. They need to update their social webpage because I wasted transportation fee.

This place is a complete mess. First off, all their information online is incorrect. Their hours of operation and menu are all incorrect. Went their thinking it opened at 11am per online information, had to wait 30mins outside.Secondly, the personnel that works there has no idea what they are serving. They pose this place as a Korean restaurant, but no one there knows what Korean food is. I finally convinced them, through their own menu, that they DO have jyajyangmyeon. They had no idea what this was, nor would they grasp the fact that I am pointing to the item on the menu yet they still didnt know what it was. After finally convincing them that this is indeed an item on the menu that they serve, they took my order. I was the first customer in the establishment today. Three additional parties come. They all order good. The second and third tables start getting their main entrees. Still without my food. I go and confront the "manager" who I painstakingly had to deal with about this menu item for 10mins, just 30-40 mins before. He tells me that the order slip accidentally didnt go through, and the cook is just getting my order. Absolutely ridiculous. I left the place without even seeing the food that I drove 30mins to eat, then waited another 45mins just sitting there, all while not knowing that they werent even making my food during this wait. I am beyond livid. Wasted 2hrs of my day.BTW, I also ordered korean gimbap. This is not korean gimbap.If you guys want Korean food, this is not the place to go. The servers have no idea what they are doing, or what they are serving. I would suggest never going to this place, you will save a lot of time and anger.Anyone can contact me for more information.

This place is delicious. They have lots to choose from. I got the sushi burrito. It's basically a sushi roll not cut up. It was yummy. My son ordered the Oregon roll. It's spicy but has great flavor. My daughter ordered the poke salad. She said it was scrumptious. We can't wait to go back. They have Korean bbq tables. I can't wait to try.

I definitely chose the wrong time to come in during the lunch rush. BUT overall, the staff was really friendly and as soon as my order was placed they had it out in no time at all! I only tried the yook gae jang so far, but I'll definitely be coming back here again (:

I was looking for meal that's made from your friendly korean aunt, which Yelp seemingly advertise it so. Unfortunately, the structure changed about a few weeks ago and now once you walk in, you have to order up front and pay up front before they sit you. It doesn't have that restaurant feel to it anymore. It feels more of a takeout/fast food hub. I ordered a hot stone bibimbap. It's decent. I didn't get the crispy rice that normally goes with it, which is what I generally look for in the hot stone rice. It's still a decent dish. It has all the appropriate veggies. The beef was sparse and kimchi was sparse as well. Perhaps there's a kimchi shortage? Shrug. It's 3/5, but I gave it an extra star for the overall neatness and cleanliness.

I had really high hopes for this place but sadly it really let me down. I payed extra for the “DOLSOT BIBIMBAP” which is a dish where the rice is supposed to be crispy on the bottom due to the hot bowl and unfortunately it was just regular steamed rice. They were out of all meat options so beef it was! I’m not exaggerating when I say there was about 3 bites with beef, they were so sparing with the protein. The service was ok, as the staff was friendly but unfortunately I won’t be back since the food left so much to be desired.

Dined in last night with a group of friends. The lone server was polite enough but seemed confused and told us they were out of whiskey when we saw there was plenty at the bar. Server put in my diet coke order but then offered a sprite and had to be corrected. I ordered the pork soondubu which was bland and watery and lacked flavor. My partner had the dolsot bibimbap which was also not very flavorful. Banchan was limited and not very flavorful. Our dining companions were also not impressed and there were some order screw-ups. The food might be good if you've never tried Korean food before. I love Korean food and really wanted to like this place, but sadly I will not return.

We came here for delicious food many times. But today will be our very last time. They have changed and not for the better. Now, you have to order at the front before sitting down. The menu has changed - hardly anymore Korean foods, and has become like a stupid Panda Express 2.0 menu. We ordered Ja Jiang Mein - hardly any pork, loaded with onions. Gyozas - fried in old rancid oil. Salmon Poke Sushi Burrito - rice was crunchy, like it was made from leftover rice from the bottom of the rice cooker. The only yummy dish was the marinated cucumber banchan. That was "free". Worse yet, the girl taking the order was full of 'tude. When asked about what kind of chicken was on the rice bowl, whoa, why the attitude when answering? At least, know what's being served and answer like you like your job. We miss the sweet korean servers who worked here. Anyway, Happy Bibambap House...you guys lost a few customers today.

Sorry, I want to say nice things about this place.. it was decorated so cute. That cashier was brand new. She could not answer any questions, and did not offer to ask anyone else. Ordered beef bibimbap. It was completely burnt on the bottom. The rice was black and charred (the part I could scrape from the bottom). Just a few small pieces of beef. So DRY. They provided soy sauce only. No red Korean sauce. I really wanted to like this place because it was so cute. There is another Korean place just a few doors down. It is not as cute, but food is really really good. Go there.

I had a really hard day at work and didn't want to cook so I ordered food to go. I live really close and hadn't tried Happy Bibimbap House 2 yet. It was easy to order on the phone with them and they were so nice. They had it ready in 10 minutes. It was hot when I got it. They were SO friendly and wrote this on my order. I needed that more than they'll ever understand. ❤️ Thank you and you have a new regular! Delicious food too!

Came here for my friends birthday dinner, really disappointing. The food was bland and cold, the drinks tasted like sanitizing water. Our waiter was also very rude at the end, saying that we should keep an open mind to trying new things (mind you we ordered food we usually order at other Korean restaurants) and was trying to make us feel guilty for not liking the food. Very unprofessional of him. Never coming here again and would not recommend.

Nice folks, but the food wasn't exceptional or even mediocre. One of the staff members was having a very loud phone conversation 6 feet behind us, which also distracted from a quiet dining experience.
