One of the best bibimbap I’ve had!

So glad I went there. Food is delicious, fresh, perfectly spicy (for me at least) and really fairly priced! I paid 8£ for a lunch deal (tofu bibimbap homemade bitter lemon ice tea). I can fairly say that’s one of the best bibimbap I’ve had! Would strongly recommend if you feel like eating that dish.

Pros: Delicious, Fair price, Quick (waited 5min tops)

Gone downhill

This place used to be one of the best, but it’s really gone downhill in recent months. They’ve started charging for sauce on the vegan bibimbap and have reduced the number of ingredients, the staff seem harassed and were unaccommodating of my dietary restrictions. Overall we had quite an unpleasant experience on our last visit and won’t be returning. I recommend heading to one of the other excellent Korean restaurants nearby instead.

Korean Fast Food

Small venue that offers vegan bulgogi, vegan kimchi fries, and several vegan tofu options (mimicking Korean chicken).

The vegan kimchi cheese fries are delicious, although very salty and the tofu is to die for (gochujang is my favourite)!

Takeaway is available as is delivery (via Uber)

Pros: Lots of vegan options. , Affordable

Cons: Small venue

Great veg/vegan options - their bibimbap ruins my food budget every month :)

A tiny place with a really nice vibe with a pretty short but sweet menu that offers a few vegetarian and vegan options.
Namely tofu bao - very nice, but I won't waste space writing about it when the mighty bibimbap is on the horizon! A hearty bowl of rice and numerous fresh ingredients (seeweed, carrots, cucumber, chilli sauce) with their own genuine vegan kimchi, fried tofu and pickled shiitake mushrooms (vegan option) or fried egg (vegetarian option).
Mix it up, eat it, feel like life is actually pretty good. That's how I feel.
I stick to sticks so I don't just eat it all in twenty seconds. It really doesn't get boring.
I've been back so many times I don't even need to say what I want any more.
I've pretty much incorporated it into taking my wee baby girl for a walk.
Seating options are tiny but takeaway is absolutely solid if you can't find a spot or can't really sit in (like me, with a baby that won't sit for more than ten seconds).

The place serves meat, if that puts you off - fair enough, but I think you're missing something really special. I regularly choose them over many strictly vegan places that Glasgow has to offer, because their vegetarian/vegan food is just totally worth it.

I'd still give it 5 stars despite not being vegetarian/vegan, but rating here does not allow me (cool, I understand why).

Pros: Bibimbap! Absolutely spectacular., Friendly staff, good vibe, nice location., Did I mention bibimbap?

Cons: I wish there were more regular vegan options.

Good but small

The place has very limited seating and is packed at lunch time. I opted to take away. I had the Tofu bao with banchan of the day. It was tasty, but very small for the price.

Amazing bibimbap

We had a vegan bibimbap here and a soup, which was a special that day (don't know whether they have a vegan special each day, but when we visited, they had one). Both dishes were absolutely great with loads of flavours and reasonably priced (about 7 pounds).

Pros: Great korean food, (sometimes?) vegan specials

love their bibimbap and bao

We get them delivered with Deliveroo occasionally and absolutely love their bibimbap rice bowls and the bao buns. Sadly none of their burgers are currently vegan.

Pros: tasty and healthy rice bowls

Cons: small range of vegan options
