For anyone craving Korean food on campus, look no further than Jip Bap. Located on the corner of South Sixth and East Healey streets, Jip Bap is a delicious and satisfying way to satiate your hunger.

When customers walk in, they are greeted by an electronic ordering screen. This screen, which displays the restaurant’s diverse menu, makes it easy to choose the dish you want and make any adjustments. However, if face-to-face interaction is more your style, staff working the counter can take your order. 

The restaurant’s interior is cozy and sleek, setting a chill ambiance that makes the wait for your food much more pleasant. If opting to dine in, the restaurant has ample seating that can accommodate individuals and larger groups. 

With a diverse menu offering rice and noodle bowls topped with Korean-style beef, chicken, pork, kimchi, tofu, tuna and Spam — to name a few — there is something for everyone. 

Each dish offers some customizability, making it adaptable to your taste and preferences. The food is seasoned well with satisfyingly large portions. As a fast-casual spot, orders are often completed in minutes, making it an ideal spot for students looking to grab a quick bite. 

Open from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. every day of the week, Jip Bap is convenient and tasty. When looking for Korean food on campus, voters agree that Jip Bap is the answer.
