Team Leader

It began with a vision to bring the time-honored flavors and healthy ingredients of South Korea to Columbus, Ohio. From that dream, BIBIBOP was born. Inspired by the traditional Korean dish bibimbap, we sought to make balanced and healthy Asian cuisine accessible and enjoyable to everyone. From the day we opened the doors of our first location in 2013, BIBIBOP is true to what we envisioned: A quick, complete and nutritious meal - with flavors unlike any other concept. Our goals of strengthening our neighbor and enriching the lives of our team members are what drive us to continuously grow and promote a happy, healthy lifestyle for all.
