During the soft opening, patrons can look forward to a limited menu that showcases mouthwatering options.

Business hours for Bibimbox will be as follows:
- Sunday through Thursday: 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
- Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
It’s important to note that during the soft opening, hours may fluctuate, and diners may experience extended wait times due to staff training. So, if you’re planning a visit, it’s a good idea to be patient as they get into the groove!
A Sweet Addition: Kumo Kumo
But wait, there’s more! Alongside the grand opening of Bibimbox, a second concept called Kumo Kumo will launch, bringing a delightful dessert and café experience to the mix. Guests can expect a limited menu of sweet treats and refreshing beverages to complement the savory offerings at Bibimbox, making it a must-visit spot for food lovers.
A Culinary Journey
What sets Bibimbox apart is the way they prepare their chicken. It’s double-fried to perfection, boasting a thinner yet crispy crust, typically coated in a delightful sweet and spicy sauce that keeps diners coming back for more. Additionally, customers will have the chance to create their own bibimbap-style bowls, reminiscent of what you might find at popular fast-casual chains. Options include grilled meats like Korean-style chicken, beef bulgogi, hibachi chicken, shrimp, and beef, sure to satisfy a variety of tastes.
The Heart of Harbison
This new restaurant is conveniently located in a plaza that also houses Academy Sports + Outdoors, nestled amongst prominent retailers like Sam’s Club and Walmart. The space previously welcomed Uberrito Fresh Mex, which opened in late 2021 but closed its doors in November 2024. With its vibrant community and numerous offices and neighborhoods nearby, Harbison is becoming a central hub for dining and shopping, making it an ideal spot for the new establishment.
Korean Comfort Foods Galore
Bibimbox aims to introduce the local community to a world of beloved Asian flavors. Not only will they serve crispy Korean fried chicken, but they also plan to offer a variety of traditional Korean comfort foods, including Korean shaved ice. Diners can expect options like a sweet-and-spicy tteokbokki sauce, plus a milder, creamier choice for those who prefer something less kicky.
