Bibibop Asian Grill

Bibibop Asian Grill is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in customizable Korean-inspired rice bowls. Founded in 2013 by Charley Shin in Columbus, Ohio, the name "Bibibop" comes from "bibimbap," a traditional Korean dish featuring seasoned vegetables, chili pepper paste, and sometimes egg and meat.

The restaurant offers a build-your-own bowl concept, allowing customers to select from a variety of bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces to create a personalized meal.

Options include bases like white rice, purple rice, sweet potato noodles, and supergreen salad; proteins such as antibiotic-free chicken, USDA Choice steak, and tofu; and toppings like black beans, bean sprouts, corn, cucumbers, and carrots.

Sauces include Yum Yum, Spicy Sriracha, Teriyaki, Gochujang, and Cucumber Wasabi.
