Bibim

The food taste great and drinks are just as good.

This is easily one of the hippest restaurants in Silver Spring. I usually go for bowls here, and they are really solid. I really love some of the hot sauce options to, which can be rather tangy as supposed to outright spicy. The cocktails are also solid if one decides to partake. I have never had a bad meal here, and sometimes I outright crave the food they serve.

Liked it when it was Sligo Cafe. Loving it as Bibim. Went on a chill Monday for dinner, just barely missing happy hour ($6 soju, $5 rail and drafts). My partner and I started with the wings. We did soy garlic but will probably go hotter next time. I had the spicy pork ssam and he built his own bowl. Both were outstanding. Prices seem right. Service was attentive. Would come back for happy hour and patio drinking one afternoon

Man I was really hoping this place would be good. Flavors: 3.5 stars, the food was tasty but didn't wow, particularly the zucchini fritters. Price/Portions: 2 stars, everything was just a little too expensive. The most enjoyable thing thing about bibimbap is the assortment of topping; here you're pretty limited unless you're willing to pay $13+. The fritters felt like a rip off, the 8 pieces we got cost us $6. On top of that, no banchan with the meal 😢

Food was pretty good, but I've definitely had better. Beef was over cooked and spicy pork was almost completely fat. Vegetables in the bibim bowl tasted fresh. Waiter was very friendly and service was good.

I enjoyed my meal here. The custom Bi Bim Bap bowls were great - especially for vegetarian and gluten free options. The dumplings (mandu) are perfect. Perfectly fried dumplings - not something you see at every Asian restaurant. The bulgogi was good, and I especially enjoyed the zuchinni fritters - what a fun way to make a gluten free fritter! My only gripe was the service. It was totally fine & acceptable, but it seemed like the staff were getting their feet under them. Tons of potential to improve, and I will definitely go back. But, they didn't bring water to the table, just the drinks we ordered. I'm a water person, so take that FWIW. Overall the service was totally fine, just some room to improve.

The food is great and the happy hour prices are excellent. The happy hour drink specials are decent, but some cocktails are a bit pricey. Several of their entrees looked promising but we stuck to the happy hour menu because it was cheaper and there were many small bites to try.
