Bibimcup in Düsseldorf

Unfortunately, I can only give the worst review. I'm very reluctant to do this, but after today's visit, I feel it's necessary. The ambiance is very nice and cozy, but there was thick dust and cobwebs in almost every corner. The entire restaurant was tidy, but not very clean. I finally pointed out the cobwebs under the ceiling and on the walls to the waiter. Not as a criticism, but I think it's okay to see them. This didn't happen in a week or two. The food was brought to the table less than five minutes after ordering. I'm hoping the chef is just very quick and well-organized. However, it was already very dry, and I think it was pre-cooked/prepared and kept warm for quick service. My beef, in any case, was very dry and a bit tough. It certainly wasn't freshly prepared, and that's a must, especially with beef. Since I didn't feel very comfortable and my meal was a disappointment, I unfortunately can't avoid the one star. Too bad...

The most delicious bibimbap ever! I went there with a friend for my first Korean meal, and wow! The value for money is perfect. The portion was a decent size, filling you up nicely, and delicious too! I recommend it.

Great atmosphere and service. The food arrived incredibly quickly and was beautifully presented and fresh. The Bibim tastes very authentic, and the portions are large enough to satisfy everyone!

Good food. One star less because it has gotten quite expensive within a year.

Modern, ultra-delicious fusion cuisine in a minimalist ambience

Visited several times, always satisfied 😊👍🏻 Bulgogi etc. very tasty, fresh, and highly recommended. Authentic Korean cuisine in a very central location. Sometimes quite crowded; consider making a reservation if possible.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious and tasted exactly as I imagined. The portion was generous—more than enough for one person, so I couldn't finish it all. I also particularly liked the high-quality tableware, which retains heat well—ideal for those who like their food piping hot. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're alone or with friends, this restaurant is definitely worth recommending!

We went there for the first time. A recommendation from some students. It was incredibly delicious, incredibly friendly, and really inexpensive for the forbidden city of Düsseldorf. I don't think it will be our last time. Highly recommended.

Incredibly delicious. It's a shame they close so early and it's so loud. Nevertheless, the food is so delicious!

Good food and quick , good atmosphere and the personal is ok. I recommend kimki and misou soupe .

Great Korean food – large portions, young team Today we were at Bibimcup in Düsseldorf and had a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came in truly generous portions. We had two hot platters, each with rice, delicious beans, and potatoes served separately – all excellently prepared. A colleague had a hot soup in a cast-iron pot, which was also very well received. The restaurant was busy during our visit, which was briefly noticeable in the service – it seemed a bit hectic. Nevertheless, our orders arrived quickly, as did the food, and the young, friendly team was attentive and welcoming at all times. A real insider tip with potential! If you want authentic Korean food and are very hungry, this is the place for you.

Good food, very good service. But the chairs could be updated.

Super delicious and very nice atmosphere.

Cozy atmosphere, super-friendly staff (we were there with children), and sensational dishes—it couldn't be better!

One of my favorite restaurants! The bibimbap is super delicious! The appetizers are also very tasty! The service is also really good, very friendly and helpful. I really enjoy eating there!

We had a young lady who provided great service, and the food arrived quickly. Unfortunately, the food lacked the usual spiciness we're used to, and the egg was completely cooked and no longer runny. Otherwise, we can recommend it.

I'm not from Düsseldorf, but every time I'm here, I just have to eat here. The food is really good and the staff are incredibly sweet and friendly!

Always very friendly, the food tastes great and is prepared quickly. I was there several times and was always very satisfied. Keep it up! :)

Food is average. The egg on top was even not done well to mix with rice and vegetables. Environment is shabby and some tables are really dirty. During eating, some times have to bear the noise when they organize the drinking bottles and shelf~ that was annoying. Not a nice experience to be honest. Really doubt why they have good rating!

We ate at Bibimcup for the first time on a Saturday without waiting. Service was quick, friendly and helpful in choosing dishes. The food 🍲 came after a short wait and we enjoyed it. The portion was sufficient and kept warm for a long time thanks to the cast iron pan. We will definitely come back again, Recommended 👌

Staff and atmosphere very good. The food was nice, but for me it had little taste and was quite cold. I've eaten much better food in other stores. The beans and potatoes as a side dish were very tasty.

The food was very tasty! There was still hot sauce on the table for those who like it spicier, as is usual with Korean cuisine. There was something for everyone. Unfortunately, it was quite dark in the back of the room, but it didn't bother us much.

food is good, really well cooked eggs and portion size gets you so full.

The most unpalatable Korean food. Come on, folks!

The staff and atmosphere were very nice and the food was really a 10/10. Deliciously seasoned and simply a dream. Will definitely come back.

I've never eaten Korean before, but everyone was very nice and the food was extremely tasty. Although I didn't know the dishes. I had Dolsot Bulgoki, marinated beef with egg. Served with soup and two small side dishes. I was accompanied by Gan Pung Ki. We got a table at short notice without a reservation.

Went for a quick lunch. Restaurant has 2 lunch menu. We chose for a kimbap and a bulgogi bibimcup and a squid one. Bibimcup did not come in a hot stone bowl as usual . Taste is ok.

We had a reservation for dinner, then they were forcing us to leave our table right after eating so someone else can already sit. We still had food at the table and we ordered so much since it was our friend's birthday. What's the point of having a reservation at this point. Sad because I like their food, but the service this time sucked.

Very happy with the food and service, also that they have vegetarian and fish options and not only meat ❤️

I personally don't recommend...

Favorite restaurant ever. Everything is just perfect. The food, the atmosphere, the workers. I had major surgery and still went in there to get a meal before going home. Every time im in Dusseldorf i go there to eat. Can’t recommend it enough.

The restaurant is located right on a busy street. If you're lucky you'll even get a parking space right next to it. Otherwise in the parking garages in the area. The restaurant itself is comfortably furnished. There is a bright area with a bar directly at the large window and a slightly darker area at the back. There is also the option to sit outside. However, the terrace is on the pedestrian path and not so comfortable, as the street is directly adjacent. The food is delicious and served appetizingly prepared. There were 3 of us and we each had a starter and a main course and everything was tasty. However, for me personally it was a bit too greasy. Small note: Depending on the dish, the food is put into the oven in the bowl. Therefore it is extremely hot. So be careful when touching the plate. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. The food was served quickly. A recommendation from me

Great, modern Korean restaurant. Very good vegan dishes.

Delicious food, very friendly and good staff in a cozy atmosphere!

Very very tasty and the waitress was also very nice

Korean fried chicken. Absolutely recommended.

Whenever I come to Düsseldorf, it is a MUST go there. Food bomb service too

PLEASE READ THIS. Food was good. No question. But… service was very very bad. We had to wait over an hour for our food… That's very sad. After me, 7-8 other groups of guests came in and had their food within 5-10 minutes. Some of them were groups of 4 people. I don't understand why, as a waiter, you don't pay attention and see that there hasn't been any food at a table for a long time, even though you know full well that this actually happens quickly. I noticed that the waiter ignored us at a certain point (because they were perhaps embarrassed). Our drink was empty at some point and they didn't have the opportunity to order more because they "ignored" us. We were treated like air. Finally after 1 hour 15 minutes we got the food. The appetite was long gone. Instead of accommodating at the end, they acted as if everything was normal. IF YOU don't get any food after 10 minutes, try asking the waiters. If they don't ignore you. Otherwise you will wait unnecessarily for the food. Just a little tip on the side.

Nice service but very bad food, chef can't handle criticism. I wouldn't go here. There are plenty of better shops on the street

Está ubicado cerca de la estación de tren. La atención de las meseras muy buena y los alimentos deliciosos😊 Hay espacio para comer al aire libre o en el salón de establecimiento. El menú es variado y tienen opciones para las personas que no consuman carne.

I went to the Bibimcup alone. I got a table straight away and because it was quite late, the nice waitress told me how long they still had service. The food came super quickly. Unfortunately, everything was a bit boring. In addition, everything was sweet, which is not really my taste. I thought it was okay to fill up in the evening for a reasonable amount of money, but it's not a culinary gem.

Had a nice meal at Bibimcup. The Bibimcup with pork had a nice taste and the meat was nice and tender. I would have expected an egg with it, by the way. The chicken in chili sauce was nice and crispy and freshly made. I personally loved the pickled radish! Nice to have tried it once!

Loved everything, the food was as always top notch, the chicken in sauce was adorable 🌺 The atmosphere was calm, cordial, it was nice to sit and enjoy the delicious food. Service - I would like the girls to be more attentive. It was very difficult to get distracted every time and try to catch them to take the empty dishes from the table, especially the glasses. The table was already small, but with empty dishes it was even smaller. It was weird to see the girls just walking by, even though they could see that everything was already empty((( so it needs an upgrade. But overall, it's good.

The food is really delicious with a variety of options. Interior is basic.

One thing first: I cannot understand the negative reviews. Since our discovery this year, my girlfriend and I have been here four times and each time we travel from Bielefeld. The staff is super nice, fast and attentive. The food usually arrives very quickly, very hot and very tasty. The cups are always prepared with a lot of love and we simply taste so good! My personal highlight is the sauce, which comes in a bottle with every order. 😍 Unfortunately, you cannot buy this sauce because it is a proprietary recipe that is guarded. We probably have to come by more often... 😅

Fantastic food, good value for money. Very friendly staff, attractive location. Recommended!

The dolsat bibimbub was served with side dishes and miso soup. I had the one with bulgogi beed. It was very delicious. The restaurant is also well decorated. I like the atmosphere.

Very tasty vegan food and cozy atmosphere. Table reservations are recommended as it is usually very full (understandable given the delicious food 😉).

We had an amazing time at Bibimcup! Went there with a group of 25 people and their big variety of options made everyone very happy with their food. The staff is also very friendly!

Very tasty food and good service.

Staff are nice.. luscious food and ambience is great 👍

Very tasty and nice atmosphere!

Solid Korean restaurant, ordered the dolsot bibimbap with bulgogi, soy sauce fried chicken, haemul pajeong, and spicy tofu soup. Everything was great except for the tofu soup, which was way too spicy, even for someone in our party who likes spice. It would have been nice if the server would've asked us for our spice level preference, although she was pretty busy and forgot to get us utensils despite us asking twice. Overall still a good meal.

Korean simple meals are very similar to Chinese lunch boxes, suitable for a simple meal

Delicious Korean Food. Lovely interior and friendly service. Quick and easy to get an table. Fine for a warm dish

Here I was able to relax and enjoy Korean food with friends. Really delicious food. The place is always full.

It was very tasty, super fast and despite only having one waitress, very confident service. Thanks

The 김치찌개 was quite disappointing. The rice was undercooked and hard to chew, making it an unpleasant experience. It certainly wasn’t worth the 17 euros.

We were greeted warmly and got a table straight away. Service was very friendly and informative. The food was delicious. Will definitely come back. .

Great, nice atmosphere, attentive service, great food

When you suddenly have a craving for Asian food, fried chicken, rice rolls, and bibimbap can satisfy you.

the counter table and seat is hard to eat

Die Bedienung war sehr nett und kompetent. Wir hatten gefühlt von allem etwas. Die Portionen waren ordentlich und schmackhaft. Ich würde wieder hingehen.

It was delicious! Clean taste! Friendly service! Like in Korea, Korean restaurants serve basic side dishes. Although it is not I would like to give this place high marks for the food itself.

Great food and super nice service

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bibimcup in Düsseldorf and absolutely loved it. The restaurant offers authentic Korean dishes in a friendly atmosphere. Fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared vegetables and tender meat – no wish is left unfulfilled. The service was quick and friendly. We'll be back :)

The first visit to a Korean restaurant and it was completely convincing. I had the classic Bibimcup and was completely thrilled. The homemade sauces are perfect! Thank you and see you next time!

Good Korean bibimbap selection and it doesn't come in the hot stone (dolsot) cup that I don't really like. The portions are perfect for a person to eat without waste.

Very nice restaurant with very nice and dedicated staff and the food was also very tasty.

Visited for lunch on Friday, selected a dish with a lunch price, but had to pay the full price instead. They give a menu with the lower prices omitting to mention that they are not relevant, weird experience. Communication with the cashier was just bizarre

I went to eat cold noodles in the evening, but I think it was impossible because it was too late. I came here thinking only of naengmyeon, but they said no, so I didn't know what to eat, but they said jjajangmyeon was available, even though it wasn't on the menu at the time, so I ordered it. I think my Dutch partner liked it more than me! The portions were plentiful and friendly, and I was especially grateful that the glasses-wearing man (perhaps Korean?) was very attentive, so I am leaving a review that I usually don't leave. It was the most delicious and plentiful of all the Jajangmyeon I had in Europe. I really want to eat cold noodles later🥰

Food mediocre, service unambitious, atmosphere not very appealing

If the weather is nice, you can sit outside 😃 I ordered the pork menu and it was prepared quickly and deliciously! I would love to come back when I'm in Düsseldorf

My last visit to this restaurant finally convinced us to never go there again. It was actually one of our favorite restaurants. For the second time in a row, the beef in Dolpot Bulgogi was so tough it was barely edible—it felt like we were chewing on gristle. The service was equally disappointing. Even though we didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m., the staff started kicking us out as early as 9 p.m., constantly trying to clear our plates and eventually even turning off the lights. If you value good food and respectful service, you should definitely go somewhere else.

A cozy and beautiful food spot in the heart of Düsseldorf - we sat outside for dinner and enjoyed the weather and the cute fairy lights. The service was super friendly and quick. The food was also excellent. There were both meat and vegan options. Everything for a fair price. I'd love to come back!!

The best korean restaurant outside of Korea! The food was delicious and the customer service was great! I for sure would come again !

So I have to say that I'm so disappointed with the food, it wasn't good 👎👎👎👎👎 and I'll never visit the restaurant again.

Bibimbab with Japche is highly recommended. The kimbap rolls were also very tasty but way too overpriced.

After a while we went to the Bibimcup again instead of going to our usual Korean restaurant. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the taste has declined, it doesn't really have much to do with authentic Korean cuisine. It lacked spice and spiciness. That used to be better. Too expensive for what is offered. We will therefore prefer to stick to our regular restaurant.

Great food, nice service - definitely coming back!

Leckeres authentisches Essen und ein sehr netter Service. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch. Kommen gerne wieder!

The starters were delicious and the portions were generous. The kimchi pancake was especially great!

The bulgogi Kim bap and fried shrimp entree were very tasty. The servers were friendly and spoke English.

The food was amazing and the place is so nice. There’s a big terrace.

Very nice and quick service, very, very tasty food!!

Food was tasty, portion a bit small. Dessert very tasty! Price-performance rather expensive. The ambience inside is nice, but the interior is very old and worn. Outside area rather messy - tables stuck. Service very friendly and quick.

Unfortunately, the restaurant no longer has the quality it did a few years ago. I was very disappointed with my last visit. My bibimcup with squid was dry and had hardly any flavor. The gyoza appeared to be double fried instead of traditionally seared, giving them an unpleasant texture and strange taste. The rice was also disappointing, the consistency was strange - just not cooked well. Another negative point was the restaurant's lack of flexibility. It was not possible to make my son some simple Asian noodles without any additives. This shows a lack of customer focus and flexibility, which is very unfortunate for a restaurant of this type. Overall this was unfortunately a very disappointing experience and it is sad to see how the quality of the food and service has declined compared to before. I very much hope that the restaurant sees this criticism as constructive feedback and strives to restore the quality to which it was previously accustomed.

Delicious Korean food, especially the eponymous bibimbap, is recommended. The only thing that didn't really convince me was the side dishes. Sometimes it is very crowded in a small space and relatively noisy.

I've been eating kimbap for over 30 years, and there must be over 1,000 pieces of it, but this is the first time in my life that I've seen kimbap with hair in it. I can see a glimpse of the kitchen from my seat, so I rub my eyes with my gloved hands and just touch the food. If that's the case, why do you wear gloves while working in the kitchen? I know that in proper restaurants, black gloves cannot be used in the kitchen because they cannot detect contaminants, but if you are going to manage hygiene in this way, it would be better to cover up the kitchen with something like your feet. I think it would be better not to see it. Looking at the price, the lunch set seems good value for money, but the taste is just so-so... I'm eager to find the perfect Korean food in Germany, but this is my first time trying bibimbap with lettuce. It's a good idea to choose your own toppings and put them on your bibimbap, but before that, the taste... I also heard that the lunch set includes soft drinks and hot drinks, so I ordered a cola and was charged. If cola is not a soft drink, it would have been nice if the server had at least explained it when taking the order. I went there with high expectations after seeing the star ratings, but I wasn't sure if the hygiene or the taste would be good, but it was a disappointing restaurant in many ways.

We ate well and the service here is really on point and very friendly.

Loved that they had vegan options

Unfortunately my personal impression wasn't good... :( First the positive: • the service was incredibly warm, 10/10 • The atmosphere was nice - the decor was very inviting - also 10/10 Now, unfortunately, to the predominantly negative impressions: I had a bibimbap with tofu and my friend had a dolsot with chicken. IMO the bibimbap tasted bland, unseasoned and dry. My girlfriend tried it once and immediately said it tasted musty… a no go for €18. My friend's meat also tasted rubbery and just not of high quality. This is simply not possible for a hefty price of around €23. There is only one toilet with so many customers, so there was a long queue in front of the toilet at that time. Admittedly, we were there on Japan Day and it was busy, so I hope the lack of quality was due to the high occupancy. Nevertheless, you want to be able to expect something for your money... :( For example, we also visited other Koreans in the area who, on the one hand, offered the starters for free (much more variety and not exactly worse!) and only charged €13 for a bibimpap instead of €18... so you got more for your money. Both quantity and quality. Comparatively, Bibimcup was really disappointing

Wir wurden in dem kleinen Lokal freundlich empfangen und da wir zum ersten Mal koreanisch gegessen haben, bekamen wir trotz voll besetzten Lokal hilfreiche Tipps und man hat sich für uns Zeit genommen. Die Gerichte schmeckten allen hervorragend und waren frisch zubereitet. Die Preise sind in Ordnung und wir hatten einen schönen Abend. Gegessen haben wir gebackenes Hühnchen in einer pikanten Sauce, vegetarische Teigtaschen und Bibimcup.

Delicious food!! Highly recommended to visit. I'll definitely bring my family back with me!

Great Korean restaurant. I had the bibimbap and it was delicious.

Quite tasty, I personally find the extra rice on a plate of noodles unnecessary. It would be better if it was optional and the dish was offered at a lower price. Courteous service and well informed. The dish I ordered was Dolpan Jap Chae (vegan) for €18.50

We tested the lunch menu here. My large portion was definitely for people who were hungry. However, there was a lot of rice and unfortunately it was bland. I definitely know it to be better seasoned/dressed from other Korean restaurants. There was a good amount of vegetables but could have been a bit more for the price. The entrees included are probably half a portion of the regular entrees. The extra vegan hot sauce was great! Eaten: large lunch menu.

Nice restaurant, but expensive and quite bland food.

Actually not the cheapest place to eat for a family. Althought the portion of bibimcup with pork (rice+carrots+salad) was good, but price performance - did not achieve expectations. Cannot list in the Top 10 best cheap eats restaurants, as its listed.

Just stopped by for a drink. They have an outdoor serving where you can both eat and drink or just have some drinks with friends. The place has infrared heaters and really cozy. Will try their Bulgogi or Jap-chae next time. Located close to shopping.
