Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Santa Barbara, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Santa Barbara is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Santa Barbara follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Located in a food hall, this restaurant has so many vegan/veggie options. I got a black sesame milk with a matcha cream top and it’s the best black sesame matcha I’ve ever had. My family got the rice cakes, Brussels sprouts, arancini, and gochujang Mac and cheese. The food is great! Unfortunately I broke their orchid plant and I want to say sorry again for that.

It’s located within the Santa Barbara Public Market. There are multiple eateries offering a range of cuisines and opted for Korean fare at this place. I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap and was very satisfied. The portion was substantial and it was piping hot. Alas at the end was too full to try anything else. Will have to return.

DO NOT EAT here, seriously. It’s a sad, cheap imitation korean fusion — mystery meat drowning in preservatives sauce, artificial cheese, served on plates that smelled faintly of old grease. The bibimbap arrived lukewarm with limp, discolored vegetables that looked days old. The “bulgogi” tasted like it was marinated in soy-flavored water and regret. Within two hours of eating here, two people in our group experienced serious stomach distress. The ingredients are visibly low quality and commercially insulting “fusion” concept is being used as an excuse to serve nothing authentic and nothing fresh.

Loved every bite. The textures, the flavors, the vibe...all good. We enjoyed the Dolsot Bibimpab with Bulgogi, the Korean Meatballs, and the Kimchi Arancinis. Beautiful and delicious cultural fusion that delights the palate.

I finally tried the food and was blown away by the presentation and serving size! I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap with bulgogi and Seoul Fire Wings. The bibimbap was still sizzling upon serving and piping hot. Quite the show! The veggies were fresh, the egg fried perfectly, and the bulgogi was tender and flavorful. I appreciate the serving size and they didn't skimp on the meat like some places tend to do. You also get a generous amount of rice. I really enjoyed this meal. The wings were coated in a Korean glaze and perfectly crisp and also served over a bed of rice. I recommend asking for just wings if you’re ordering the bibimbap. Otherwise you’ll have an abundance of rice. I appreciate that they give you the sauce on the side. The sauce isn’t too spicy, but it adds a nice flavor to your food. Sometimes sauces can be too much, too little or you just don't care for it. At least you can control how much you add. My friend ordered the Kimchi Arancini's and Gochujang Mac n Cheese. I was able to taste both and loved the Kimchi Arancini's! Especially with the scallion lime aioli. I love a good dipping sauce and Omg! The aioli was so good. I'm definitely ordering the kimchi arancini's n
