MI BIBIMBAP @ Nex review

Looking for a fast, filling meal that won't break the bank? I recently dropped by Mi Bibimbap to see if it lives up to the hype for affordable Korean cuisine. Here is the lowdown on whether it's worth your time and money.


The Taste Test

Let's talk about the main event: the bibimbap. Honestly? It was decent, not mind-blowing.

The ingredients were fresh, and the components mixed together well. While it wasn't the most authentic or complex flavor profile I've ever had, it was entirely satisfying for a quick meal. I would definitely eat here again when cravings hit and I need something fast.

The Authenticity Factor

One thing I have to point out is how the gochujang sauce was served. It came in a small, sealed packet, very similar to what you’d get at a fast-food chain.

While this is certainly efficient, it did make the experience feel less authentic than having it served in a traditional container. It’s a minor detail, but it takes away a bit of the Korean dining charm.

Family friendliness

Another thing worth noting is that the restaurant is kids friendly with high chairs and they offer kids meal too! My little one was enjoying the rice and seaweed soup.

Not just Bibimbap

Other than bibimbap, they have a variety of other dishes too! They also offer dishes like spicy squid, fish with pickled cabbage in stone pot, cheesy chicken rice cake, san bei chicken and lots more!

Value for Money (The Highlight!)

This is where Mi Bibimbap truly shines. The pricing is very reasonable, with bibimbap bowls ranging from $6.90 to $9.90.

Even better, they offer a free flow of kimchi, rice, and seaweed soup.

  • The Kimchi: Definitely enjoyable—it had a good crunch and tang.

  • The Seaweed Soup: A bit "so-so," but a nice warm addition to the meal nonetheless.

Final Verdict 

Rating:

Taste 3/5
Price 5/5
Authenticity 2.5/5
Overall: Good Value

If you are looking for top-tier, authentic Korean dining, this might not be it. However, if you want a budget-friendly, fast, and satisfying meal, Mi Bibimbap is absolutely value for money.
