MMM Bap! No – it’s not Hanson…it’s Sunny Deli!

A while back there was a tradition at work – every Wednesday was Sunny Deli day! You see, Sunny Deli is this normal deli that serves tuna sandwiches and chips and such every day – but – on Wednesday – they serve their Korean specialty: Bi-Bim-Bap!

There are actually 2 locations downtown – I visited the one in Carew Tower. If you go in the mall doors next to Tazza Mia – then it’s in the first hallway to the left.

Here’s the normal sandwich-y menu…(if you click it enlarges – that’s what she said).

So here’s the skinny on the dish: a mixture of steamed white rice, Bulgogi (marinated ribeye), cooked over-easy egg and seasoned vegetable with Gochuchang Paste.

There’s a similar dish at many Korean restaurants called Dolsot Bi Bim Bap – basically the same dish but brought to you in a stone bowl (dolsot = stone bowl). That cooks the rice while you’re eating and makes it crispy and such. While amazing – this is a great cheaper/quicker version!

This is a family business and the family is there every Wednesday preparing the Bi Bim Bap fresh for every customer!

Here’s what you get…looks amazing! The red stuff is spicy – but I love it. My favorite part is the pickles/cucumbers in the lower right. They’re so crispy and refreshing. But they key is – not to eat it like this!

Oh no – just like Skyline (you cut, not mix) – there’s directions to this dish. With Bi Bim Bap – you have to mix it all up!!!!

Much better…after mixing with your tiny plastic fork – you can go to town! It’s spicy and there’s a ton of food. I just love it. I can’t rave enough about it. I also ask for soy sauce as well since I’m a salty girl.

BBB is my favorite downtown find since taking this downtown job 2 years ago. I crave it. I yearn for it. I dream about it.

I love me some Bi-Bim-Bap!

Right now, they’re also serving a cup of french onion soup (sans cheese) for the winter months. It’s a beefy broth – very warm – but I’m so full from the BBB – I didn’t really need it.

I’m a huge fan of Sunny Deli – mostly for this Korean treat. Get there early though – sometimes they run out!

    Oh yeah! Their Bi Bim Bap is tasty. I encourage visits to the URS building location, on the 15th floor (36 E. 7th Street).

    They also do a spicy chicken/vegetable/rice dish on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus Asian dumplings. Yum!

    How do you think this would taste sans meat? (vegetarian here!)

    Definitely would still be good without the meat and I bet if you ask – they'd give you extra veggies & egg!

    If you're scared of spices – ask him to go light on the red stuff and give you a cup with extra.

    Enjoy!

    I'm eating it right now and I love it! Its not so in-your-face spicy as it is a lingering, accumulating spice. I don't love the rice to veggie ratio (too much rice for me) but the flavors are amazing. Thanks for the recommendation!

    I also LOVE their Bi Bim Bap!! Since I work in the URS building I also get to enjoy some of their other tasty dishes too. I think Thursday's are Spicy Chicken day. YUM!

    I have to admit – tried the chicken and was not near as a big a fan as I am of the BBB…but I'm loyal on that one at least!
