Reviews for Bob Bob Korean grill and kitchen in Newport News, VA

DO NOT GET THE RAMEN! it is just top ramen noodles in a spicy broth. Not at all worth $10. My wife got the bulgogi, which was... really good, and the only reason I would give this place more than one star. Read more

I ordered dinner here for the first time tonight and WOW, I am so impressed! I don’t usually enjoy anything spicy, but the... cashier told me the Bob Bob Spicy Chicken is his favorite dish on the menu and I decided to give it a shot. It’s definitelyhot, but it delicious! Seriously might be the best take out I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back! Read more

Busy on Saturday afternoon so took a bit to get order, but worth the wait. Bibimbob is delicious, extra sauce adds a good bit... of heat. Bibimbob is a good balance of meat, veggies and rice, but bulging is better if want a lot of meat (beef or spicy pork,both are delicious) Read more

This place isn’t bad. It’s well maintained and very clean. The music is great and not too loud. Due to Covid, whether you... dining in or out food gets placed in to go boxes. Water? you will be getting charged for bottled water but I think that’sfine. The place is a little off when it comes to pricing but if you want to just taste some Korean food, with a spin of Americanthis is the place to go. Read more

I absolutely love this awesome Korean joint! Super healthy, cheap, and simple Korean barbecue that’s pretty hard to beat.... I’ve been twice now and I can’t wait to come back and try more. Very respectable business that does a small amount of thingsvery well and easily. The service is awesome, the food is great, and my only complaint is that I wish they gave you more, whichisn’t much of a complaint at all. Overall great Korean bbq restaurant, one of the very few in town but definitely top of theline. Check it out! Read more

I can’t believe I’ve never left a review!! This is my go to place for Korean bbq!! There are few places in the area to... choose from and I have been to all of them and this is the best!! I’ve had the beef and spicy bulgogi, teriyaki chicken andthe #2 spicy chicken. For the sides, I’ve had the white rice, glass noodles and veggies. My “usual” is double beef bulgogiwith white rice and veggies. I also ask for another white sauce instead of the spicy red one they give you with your order.Everything I’ve ordered from here has been satisfying. The spicy chicken is basically like a sweet and sour chicken with alittle kick. The veggies consist of mostly cabbage and broccoli that’s been cooked perfectly al dente so it’s still a littlecrunchy, but it’s good. The food is ready in 5 minutes!!! If you’re thinking about stopping here, just do it, you won’tregret it! Read more

TL;DR, a very disappointing experience I won't likely try again. I LOVE Korean food. So the concept of a "fast" Korean... restaurant definitely has it's appeal. I've tried most, if not all, of the Korean restaurants on the peninsula and this wasunfortunately the worst yet. The good: kimchi was fresh and flavorful. The steamed veggies were perfectly al dente andmaintained flavor and color. The boolgogi, what little there was for a $9 entree, was decently seasoned and had goodflavor. The bad: You would have a VERY hard time convincing me the ramen wasn't instant. It was soggy and exceptionallyunappealing. The egg (plain, not soy egg) was overcooked and the yolk was solid. There wasn't much to the broth, what littlewasn't absorbed into the instant noodles, and it tasted like it was nothing more than a heaping spoonful of gochujang. I ate 2bites and threw away the rest. The mandu (dumplings) were dry and the filling lacked any spice or flavor. Drowning them in theprovided sauce offered brief reprieve from their utter blandness. Lastly, the jabchae (glass noodle) was lathered in soy sauceand not much else came through. No wood ear mushroom for texture contrast, and the noodles were broken or cut short, the way Ido for my 2-year old. They might have been easier to eat with chopsticks, except none were included. All in all, price plus allthe delivery fees to Riverside (5 minutes away) came up $38, an exorbitant price for an extremely lackluster meal, half of whichwasn't even edible. A tragic example of Korean fare that could turn anyone off from trying this wonderful and varied cuisine.I'll stick with Sorobal or Kyung Sung for my Korean fix. Read more

The place looks interesting. But I can't get over the fact that their "Spicy Ramen" was nothing more than "Oodles of Noodles"... (at least that's exactly what it tasted like) with a poached egg and a few veggies added. Read more
