The Best Bibimbap in Toronto

If you are looking for the best bibimbap in Toronto, look no further because we have got you covered!

As temperatures drop, it’s natural to want to cradle your food close, making anything in a warm bowl a natural cold-weather companion. Bibimbap, a Korean mixed rice bowl, is a savoury, layered, texturally-complex meal available in myriad variations and spice levels. Essentially, bibimbap is a dish made of rice mixed with seasoned vegetables, meat and kimchi, all topped with a raw or fried egg. In reality, it’s an ultra-satisfying dish that’s greater than the sum of its seemingly simple parts. Dolsot bibimbap, named for the hot stone bowl used to prepare and serve it, is one of the most popular types thanks to the crispy, golden rice layer around the edges of the bowl. 

Whichever type you choose, we guarantee you’ll soon want to warm your hands around a bowl of this Korean staple. For the type of comfort you need as fall weather tightens its grip, here’s where to go for the best bibimbap in Toronto.
