Inspired by the traditional Korean dish bibimbap, fast-casual eatery Bibibop Asian Grill in Cary offers a 100% gluten-free concept in a pristine, modern setting. The restaurant’s mission is all about well-being.
Whether you select a signature meal or build your own bowl, there are plenty of healthy, unprocessed options to consider. Proteins include grilled chicken, steak, and tofu, while toppings range from bean sprouts and kimchi to cage-free egg and toasted sesame broccoli. Never mind your choice of purple or white rice, supergreen salad, or sweet potato noodles.
A steak bowl with fresh and colorful ingredients is sure to satisfy.
“With the exception of the chicken and steak proteins and some sauces, the side items and toppings are all vegan,” said General Manager Lyn McClellan, who hails from Thailand. “People seem to enjoy all the options that are available, and we have continued to see a good number of customers coming in each week.”
Sauces run the gamut from mild (sesame ginger, yum yum, and teriyaki) to fiery (spicy sriracha and gochujang).
This spicy chicken dish gets kicked up a notch by spicy sriracha sauce.
Among the chef-curated bowls, you can’t go wrong with Sweet & Spicy Chicken or the Heart & Seoul Noodle with steak. The vegan Plant-Based Power Bowl includes tofu, potatoes, black beans, sprouts, kale, and corn over a salad base.
“I modified one of the standard bowls a little bit, and everything was fresh and flavorful,” said Cary resident and Bibibop customer Kari Summers. “My protein was tofu, and it was some of the best I’ve ever tasted.”
An easily accessible patio makes outdoor dining an appealing option.
Complimentary miso soup is available with every meal.
Self-serve drinks include passionfruit lemonade, black currant black tea, and green tea, plus typical soda selections.
There are choices aplenty at Bibibop, from sweet potato noodles and kale to black beans and kimchi.
Finish your meal with a dairy-free coconut milk pudding with mango for dessert. Bibibop is open daily for lunch and dinner. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Order online for carryout or delivery.
