So cute and so on the way home. How can you go wrong?!?! I had the Beef Bulgogi to go but I wish I had the Bibimbap instead. The beef was plentiful and yummy. Great take-out place just wish they offered brown rice. I cannot wait for the new menu and I will have to try everything they have at least once.

Before today I had no idea what a Bulgogi (sure is fun to say though!), thankful Bob has photos on the wall to guide novices in their lunch selection. Bob's is not very noticeable but their bulgogi is certainly delicious. I had mine medium spicy, my colleague who asked for the spicy version was sweating! They cook all of the food fresh when you order, and the meat is very good quality and low in fat. My only complaint with Bob's is that they are stingy on the meat and vegetables--all carbs in this meal.
If you're planning on eating in, there are only four stools, facing out the window. I think mostly do take away. -

Had a wonderful and quick dinner here last night. Really appreciated "Bob" (aka owner-operator In Jae Lee) taking extra care to prepare our eat-in dinner at the window/bar.
We had a beef bulgogi on rice, beef bibambob, small sides of kimchi and green tea. Balanced flavours, tasty, not greasy at all and a perfect portion size -- you'll be full but not feel overstuffed. I thought it offered good value for the money since you're getting fresh ingredients cooked up quickly.
Bob said lunchtime is usually quite busy, but his nights are slow. Now that we've tried it, will be stopping in for some dinnertime take-out more often. -

I will preface this by saying that I'm not a Korean food connoisseur. However, when I walked in here the first thing that came to mind was "Wow - it is really nice to find a slice of authenticity in the thick of the business district!"
The bulgogi was perfect, loved the sweet sauce on it. I was so tempted to try the seafood pancake but didn't get to because my portion was already heaping.
Prices are quite reasonable (my bulgogi, vegetables and rice was $8.95) and there is even free miso/seaweed soup. The people behind the counter are also friendly as heck.
Just wish they had more seating. -

Ordered kimchi fried rice that was not in the menu and it was good! Order came up to 10 otherwise, I would have like it more.
Also, I was hoping to be able to sit in and eat, but its not ideal to stay and eat here. They have some chairs against the front of the shop, but no table, only a counter. Oh and their miso soup is complimentary. You can help yourself. -

Been here for lunch for beef bulgogi. The food was good, and the people are alright. The food is cooked fresh when ordered. However for the price, I feel there should be more meat and veggies.

Bobs Bulgogi is run by a friendly couple serving up Korean food, fast food style.
I ordered the Beef Bulgogi and asked for spicy, with noodles. The spicy was sniffling-and-drinking-2-bottles-of-water spicy! The sauce, despite the heat was good, but it seemed like it didn't really cook with the noodles long enough for the noodles to absorb the sauce and be flavoured. So it was sometimes super flavourful sometimes bland and chewy depending on the ratio of beef:noodle in your mouthful.
I've only been here once and its debateable if I will go again despite the excellent, friendly and quick service. -

What a surprise to be walking down Richmond Street East and be greeted by wafting smells of cooked meat. It was lunchtime: I had a throbbing headache and my stomach was growling loudly. Not familiar with the area, I made an impulsive turn on Richmond and saw a small line-up. The wind carried the sweet smell of cooked meat and I embraced it like a zombie wanting more brains to its origin.
Bob's Bulgogi is a tiny restaurant. It's more of a take-out place but you can eat in, enjoying your meals on bar stools and watching life walk past Richmond.
I've had their bulgogi beef ($8.95) and on my second visit, their vegetarian bibimbob ($7.95), and was impressed with both of my orders. The beef was well-cooked, the veggies were fresh and they used sticky steamed white rice. The dishes weren't greasy at all, mild in its spicy content and I didn't leave a single morsel on my plate.
You'll always be greeted warmly at Bob's Bulgogi. The owners and staff are very friendly and it's obvious that they make customer service their top priority, as well as their delicious food. -

I walking by Bob's a few months ago while running an errand and promised myself I'd go back and check it out. Today I was concidentally running another errand around lunchtime so I stopped in. What a fool for waiting so long... that was easily the tastiest Korean food I've ever had. This takeout place easily beat all the Korean restaurants I've been to. The restaurants' food was "ehh.. ok" so I assumed the whole cuisine was "meh". I apologize :)
I ordered the spicy beef bulgogi with noodles, and had a small spicy kimchi and the free miso soup on the side. The cuts of meat were good and lean, the noodles were the right firmness and it was spicy enough for flavor but not so hot that I'd need water to cool it down. And, it was prepared very quickly!!
The place is tiny, only 4 chairs in front of a window. And it's easy to miss from the street... they could really use a sidewalk sign. Regardless, it is now firmly in my downtown finance district lunch rotation along with St Lawrence Mkt and Ritz for good cooked food. -

I spotted Bob's after driving on Richmond once and made a point of going there. I ordered the beef bim-bim-bap and had it to stay in.
The couple working there are certainly very friendly, and the portions were large enough. The food was great, although I wish my dish was a bit more hotter (temperature-wise).
I will definitely be going back. -

Just had lunch here. This is my third or fourth time and I'm a fan now. Food is just the right kind of level of spiciness that it doesn't make you want to cry (this is of course rated for someone who has good tolerance of spicey food).
Portions are just right, and as mentioned by Stephanie, it's not fatty. I really liked their noodles too. To top it all off, it's under $8 which these days is a good price.
Try it out and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
