Winter or not, salad is always a good idea.
Packed with protein-rich chickpeas, savoury black olives, and the natural sweetness of sweet potato to brighten up chilly days. Topped with our popular crispy chicken and finished with a light soy sesame dressing, it's a fresh, satisfying lunch that won't weigh you down. 🥗❄️

Free bananas at Hello Bibimbap, Newstead 🍌
A local veggie shop kindly shared these bananas with us this morning.
They may not look perfect, but they're still sweet and delicious. Some are ready to eat, while others may need a few more days to ripen.
At Bibimbap & Grill(Hello Bibimbap), we believe good food shouldn't go to waste.
Help yourself to a free banana for an afternoon snack or brekky with your coffee, and join us in enjoying good food while reducing food waste.
Feel free to take as many as you'd like!

When I was young, my family would gather together in a warm cosy room, sharing roasted sweet potatoes and kimchi. 🍠🥬
That memory still feels as comforting and sweet as the sweet potatoes themselves.
Kimchi pairs perfectly with sweet potato — the salty, tangy flavour of kimchi balancing beautifully with the natural sweetness of softly oven-roasted sweet potato.
We’d love to bring a little of that warm Korean winter feeling to your bowl.
When you add kimchi to your order, we’ll serve it with our soft oven-roasted sweet potato on the side. ✨
Hope your winter feels a little warmer and cosier with us.

Wombok is cheap right now because it’s in season… which means kimchi season has officially arrived. 🥬❄️
Add some kimchi to your bowl, bibimbap, or japchae to boost the flavour, warmth, and fun this winter. ✨

26/05/2026

The kimchi you’re tasting is only fermented for about one week, so it has a fresher, milder tangy flavour. 🥬
Personally, I prefer kimchi that’s been fermented for at least two weeks — deeper, richer, and more developed in flavour.
But everyone’s taste is different, and that’s part of the beauty of kimchi. ✨

We’re currently offering free tastings of our house-made kimchi at Hello Bibimbap Newstead. 🥬
If you enjoy it, you can also take home a 450g jar for $6.9.
Our kimchi is 100% plant-based, made without MSG or preservatives — just a clean, wholesome homemade style kimchi made with care.
We’ve been working on creating a gentler kimchi that isn’t too overpowering with garlic, while still full of flavour without using fish sauce.
Kimchi pairs beautifully with almost any Asian dish based on soy sauce or fermented seasonings — bibimbap, fried rice, curry, noodles, ramen and more.
As the weather gets cooler, our bodies naturally slow down too.
Sometimes digestion feels heavier and our appetite changes during winter.
We hope our lightly tangy, savoury kimchi brings a little warmth, balance, and comfort to your winter meals. ❄️✨

We’re constantly experimenting to find a sauce that truly belongs to bibimbap.
Our focus is on creating flavours that feel balanced, clean, and easy to enjoy every day — not overly heavy or overpowering.

Our sauce philosophy is simple: no MSG, plant-based, and made to feel light and nourishing for everyone.

Give our Sesame Soy Dressing a try — made with freshly ground sesame, savoury Korean soy sauce, healthy olive oil, and fragrant sesame oil.
It’s nutty, light, and pairs beautifully with bibimbap.

20/05/2026

This year, we’re continuing our journey with a mild plant-based kimchi.

After three winters of experimenting, tasting, and refining,
it’s finally starting to taste like the kind of kimchi we truly want to share.

Less overpowering garlic,
no fish sauce,
just a cleaner, gentler, plant-based flavour that feels good to eat.

Our goal this year is to finally launch it properly
and introduce our own kimchi bibimbap to the menu. 🍚✨

When you’re busy and life feels rushed, it’s even more important to eat healthy, delicious whole foods.🥦🫛

When your body feels good, your mind becomes calmer — and a little more space opens up in your day.❤️🥑

11/05/2026

Life gets busy, and eating healthy can feel hard sometimes.🤔
We all imagine fridges filled with fresh veggies and balanced meals, but reality often looks a little different.

Still, don’t give up on eating well.
When life gets busy and tiring, that’s actually when your body needs good food the most — to keep your energy steady and your mind feeling better.🥑🥒🥦

We hope walking into our store feels a little like opening a fridge full of fresh produce and good intentions. 🌿

Fresh vegetables prepared this morning, perfectly pan-grilled protein, and our own savoury-spicy house sauce all brought together in one comforting bowl of bibimbap.

Wishing you a healthy day and a good start to the week.😘

📣 Did you order kimchi yesterday at Hello Bibimbap Newstead but didn’t get it? We’re looking for you! 🥬
We made a small mistake — one of our customers ordered extra kimchi, but we missed serving it 😔
Our cashier actually ran out right after to try and find you, but couldn’t catch you in time.
If this was you, please come back and let us know!
We’d love to make it right 🙏
We’ll have a small jar of our house-made kimchi ready for you as a little apology gift 🥬✨
Thanks for your understanding, and sorry again!

One thing we’ve learned from running a bibimbap shop for the past 5 years—
bibimbap can be a little tricky.
If you’re new to it, you might not mix it.
Some don’t add the sauce,
and some even use the bibimbap sauce on other dishes, like kimchi fried rice and japchae.
In Korea, mixing everything together is natural.
But here, we realised it can feel unfamiliar.
So we thought—why not do the mixing for you?
Introducing our Autumn Special:
Quinoa Chicken Rice Bibimbap
Black rice, quinoa, fresh veggies and sauce—
all perfectly mixed for the best balance.
No guesswork.
Just enjoy every bite.
Launching this week.

Dear Valued Customers,

First of all, thank you for your continued support for our business.
It truly means the world to our team.

but to continue providing the quality and care you deserve —
and to keep supporting our amazing team —

🌟 What's New at Bibimbap&Grill (Hello Bibimbap)? 🌟
If you're a fan of our Tofu Bibimbap and Japchae, you might’ve noticed something a little different with our fried tofu lately. 🍚✨
We've made a small but tasty change! Previously, we used Earthy Grown firm tofu, but we weren’t fully satisfied with the frying results. As a firm tofu, it became even firmer and a bit chewy after frying. So, we've now switched to Korean tofu for frying 😋. Since Korean tofu is softer, it results in a crispier outside and a softer inside, not to mention a nuttier, more flavourful taste.
We hope you love the change as much as we do! If you’ve got any thoughts, feel free to drop a comment below. We’d love to hear from you! 👇

I've read an article today highlighting that by 2030, Australians will consume more junk food and less fresh produce, leading to an increase in health risks like obesity and heart disease.
With fresh food prices rising and junk food remaining cheap, eating healthy is becoming more challenging.
After reading this article, we feel that as lunch suppliers, we should place more focus on providing our customers with high-quality meals made from fresh vegetables and healthy ingredients, all in an accessible and affordable way.
We promise that with bibimbap, you can enjoy a variety of fresh ingredients in a delicious and budget-friendly way—because a healthier future starts with better food choices today! 🍚🥦🔥

Here is the link to the article

The CSIRO says the average Australian's diet is likely to get worse within five years, hurting our health and the taxpayers' purse. So what is standing in the way of better eating?
