A Columbus-based Asian grill restaurant, BIBIBOP, is coming to Cleveland.
The casual dining restaurant has a "create your own meal" set up similar to Chipolte Mexican Grill - allowing customers to build their own meal packed with Korean flavors. The restaurant aims to blend "time-honored Asian flavors with classic American favorites."
Rice bowls can be created with purple or white rice, salads can be crafted with a Korean flare and wraps can be made in a BIBIBOP roll. Beans, potatoes, sprouts and various vegetables are offered as toppings. Customers can choose from flavored chicken, steak or tofu as a protein.
The concept is based on the traditional Korean dish bibimbap, meaning "mixed rice."

The University Circle location is located at 111431 Euclid Avenue - the first Cleveland location to open. In 2018, the restaurant is slotted to open a Pinecrest location in Orange Village.
The first location opened in Columbus, Ohio in 2013. The restaurant has since expanded throughout the area and into Washington D.C., Illinois, California and Maryland.
