“ Jib Bob rocks and hits the spot every single time. The side dishes blow me away and the owner is so lovely. Brought a friend from Denver and she said it rivaled any place she had been to there. A would recommend ”
“ Me and some of my girlfriend's family decided to go here on a whim, and we are very, very glad that we did! The owner took our orders and did all the cooking as well as chatted with us frequently. She also recommended several items. She was so sweet and passionate about what she does! The food was absolutely spectacular. It really felt like one of those high-end, classy chef's menu experiences but for a fraction of the cost and much more personal. My girlfriend said her meal was one of the best things she's ever eaten. I shared some of the BBQ I ordered with her, and she said it was somehow even better than what she got. And I agree, it was amazing! It was certainly an Experience - a 10/10 one at that. ”
“ Authentic Korean food on point! We loved the hospitality from the owner, as well as the fantastic, adorable decorations that remind me of my home country. The food struck a great balance between sweet and savory, and was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed it as much as the owner took pride in preparing and cooking everything she serves. Paying for side dishes (banchan) is somewhat uncommon, but you get more sides here than at other restaurants, and each one was healthy, authentic and flavorful. Glad we found this place! ”
“ My family and I made a trip to Mt. Pleasant specifically to try this place. Right away, the staff made us feel so welcome. Our food came out quickly and it was phenomenally delicious! The owner is a fantastic cook and an artist who made all the decor. She made it a point to come out and make sure everything was perfect. She made us feel valued and added to the experience in a way I've only experienced one other time in my life. She even let us sample some other tasty treats and took a photo of us in the restaurant. I absolutely cannot wait to return for a date night. ”
“ The owner came to our table after our meal came and asked how everything was. I can only say great things about this woman and her food. Yes she cooked our meals as well! We had service with a smile and the atmosphere was very inviting and felt like a mother’s home cooked meal. Very warm and inviting. Highly recommend if you’re in the area of mount pleasant to try this place. I have to say though if you can’t handle spicy then don’t try the kimchi lol the taste was great but I can not do spicy. If you can’t handle spice then I say absolutely try it! ”
“ Jib-Bob has been on my list for some time, and I am happy I finally made it here! So glad to have amazing Korean food in the area. The owner was so nice and welcoming. The #14 Bulgogee Geon-gol really hit the spot with the colder weather. I loved snacking on the banchan, and the orange tea recommendation from the owner was perfect. I will definitely make the drive again to try more items. ”
“ I really enjoyed every bite of my meal. The service was great and it was worth every dollar. Definitely going back. ”
