Went here for lunch before viewing the cherry blossoms at UW. Food and portions were ok. We got the bulgogi and stone bibimbap bop and felt the prices were more that what the portions were worth. We've had better Korean food and better prices elsewhere

Got the Korean Ramen with additional egg, rice cakes, and dumplings! Super delicious! And the side dishes were really good too (especially the potatoes)! Everyone was super welcoming and the space was bright and clean! Will come again soon.

decent korean food. service isn't the best cause there's usually just 1 server working. they don't do banchan unfortunately and there's better Korean food spots on the ave. won't go there again

The hot stone spicy pork bibimBoB was really good. I will definitely be adding this to my go-to list when I'm in the U-District.

Came in with high hope, but they kinda messed up my first dish. I don’t know what to say, Korean style beef soup are good but this restaurant: 20+ dollars with a beef soup with no beef, no rice and not spicy enough?? Gochujang + broccoli as side dish?? Are you serious? The food looks good for photography

Order at kiosk, so not the easiest to ask questions. Not a huge menu but we did enjoy the bolgogi. They had kid plates and forks, so that was nice.

This is a good place for moderate priced eats & it can also accommodate large walk in parties. We walked in with 16 people with some hungry athletes after a gymnastics meet around 7:30 PM & we found enough seating together. It's also great for big groups since you self serve order at the front 2 kiosks. I'm not sure they are that equipped for such a big rush though, there was only one server for the whole restaurant who also seemed to be the busser, and a few of our party had to wait a long time for their dish, Stone Pot BiBim Bap...it was good but they must only have a certain number of stone pots...all of the other food came out promptly. This is a very simple Korean restaurant, most dishes come with 3 small banchan, and the taste is pretty good on most of the dishes we tried. This is located very close to the southwest end of the UW campus so it's definitely aimed toward students. Hearty, good tasting food for a moderate price,

Extravagant prices for side dishes

The best Korean restaurant in Seattle. You order through a kiosk, so there's no burden about tipping. Above all, the taste is like eating in Korea, the owners are friendly, and the facilities are clean. When I go to most Korean restaurants in Seattle, I only find them to be really bad and overly expensive. This place is different. Highly recommended!

My second time at the bob. Their service and atmosphere of restaurant are average! But wow their food is amazingly good. I would say their vegetables are quite fresh and soups are amazing. We ordered Yuk-Kal and hot pot bibimbab with seafood vegetable pancake. It was rainy day and the food warmed our body easily. I would definitely go back for another meal. I’m surprised that their korean food is good quality and great taste!

The military soup makes for great comfort food in this season, warms you right up and so hearty! Each person gets their individual set of ban chan and the soup is individual portion size as well - nice touch depending on your mood and great for solo eaters. Would come back here again next time I'm in the area over the other tofu houses.

My girlfriend and I went to this place and shared a couple dishes. I had the YukGaeJang (spicy beef soup with vegetables) and she ordered the Bibimbap with beef. The Yukgaejang was pretty solid. Good spice and the hot soup was perfect for the cold Seattle weather. The reason I'm rating this spot a 5 though is because of the bibimbap. The bimbimbap might honestly be the best I've ever had. We added the gochujang sauce to spice it up a bit and it was just so delicious. Each and every ingredient was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, which made the overall dish so good.
