First of all, the bad reviews do not do justice to this place. Having been to Korea last year, walking into the restaurant only brought me good memories as the smell of the amazing food we were about to eat welcomed us just as nice as the pleasant, and very helpful and informative staff. You pick from a choice of protein and rice, followed by either 5 or 7 toppings, depending on the bowls size. The result, lots of flavor and a carefully prepared meal. The place is very clean and pleasant and well definetly be coming back. Id highly recommend to anyone whos open to trying food which is above all genuinely Korean.

The staff was friendly and greeted us when we walked in, which was a great start. The menu was a little complicated (but good, lots of options means Ill be coming back). Their employees were very patient and didnt rush us through the ordering process and had good suggestions. The everything looked very new and clean (even the rice cookers, which was a shock) -- I hope it stays that way!

LOVE love love this place ❤️ I had the special of the day, Kimchi stew and Kimbap, and it was amaziiiiing. Not only was the special delicious but the set up is like a Korean subway/chipotle style of rice bimibap bowls. There are so many (yummy) options to choose from and the staff there is incredibly friendly and helpful. Go there, eat good food, be merry! ❤️

Tried it for the first time and loved it! I ordered the short rib taco, blue moon mulita and spicy pork tacos. The short rib taco has so much flavor its a must try and the sauce they use on the blue moon mulita is Delicious. So glad I tried it. My only recommendation is if your in a rush take cash because the credit card machine is slow and takes a while.

Loved it! We live in the neighborhood, Charles Village. The food was fresh! veggies yummy, very simple and healthy. Flavor were there, prices werent bad. Environment was good, we had a table outside, the street its not bad, and there is parking around. Definitely a must-try if you want something healthy and to try something new.

Quality is good. Portion too small. My Be bowl was 12 oz when its supposed to be 16, and I didnt omit anything. Even before I had a chance to weight my bowl back home, I noticed it was a small portion. But hey, if its supposed to be 12 oz than still fair game. However, being cut short by 25% is questionable to say the least.

This place serves made-to-order Bi Bim Bap. You select the size, type of rice or kale (and they allow half rice, half kale), meat, and a number of vegetables depending on the size. Eggs are extra and they tend not to ask if you want one. Good sauce. Good meal. Healthy and fast. Two tables outside when its warm.

The B-Bowl bebimbop was a wonderful meal. Fresh natural ingredients blend together with a choice of rice and sauces. Seafood "pancake" - Korean style - and the home-made fried dumplings also great! Very nice staff and a bright clean environment. Ill be eating there frequently.

I love this place and as a half-Korean person, the food is on point to what Im used to. Definitely real Korean food. You can create your own bowl, like chipotle, and pick you own vegetable toppings or you can order a meal/entree from the menu. I will be going back quite often.

Best new casual in Baltimore in years. Fresh, efficient, clean. Great execution all around. Delicious healthy ingredients, fantastic vegetarian selection, cheap. Beats Sweetgreen and Chopt; puts ShopHouse to shame. I waited too long for my first visit! Dont be like me.

Ordered dumplings and the super bowl through Amazon prime now, food was delicious, had fresh ingredients, healthy (not greasy), and I had some leftovers for the next day. I enjoyed the variety of choices to customize the bowl, excited to try more in the future!

Im was definitely shocked when I walked it. I thought this was a sit down restaurant but its honestly a Korean version of Chipotle. Instead of making your own burrito youre make your own bibimbap bowl. Honestly so good and the portions are huge

Imagine Chipotle, but for bibimbap. Except, the food is amazing, the staff are excellent, the beverage selection are great and you could even have it delivered! Full of excellent options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free folks!

Brown Rice is great if youre looking for quick, fresh, healthy options in the neighborhood. Its build-your-own bibimbap. I usually get a mix of kale & grains as a base, so the bowl doesnt end up too heavy. Service is super friendly.

Love this place. Go here a lot before work. If you want good and quick korean food this is the place. I gave 4 stars and not 5 because sometimes they dont give you enough meat. Overall great restaurant though.

Always a good choice, build your own rice bowl with a wide variety of tasty and healthy options at a great price. Been to both locations on Charles St and in Mt. Vernon Marketplace... never been disappointed.

Omg. Its like Chipotle for Korean food. Everything is very tasty for a great price. Its right next to my school so Im happy is I forget lunch because I know a few of us will order some brown rice.

Brown Rice mixes Korean ingredients with the atmosphere of Chipotle to make delicious, reasonably priced food. There are tons of options, so every meal of a little different, but no less tasty.

I found the bibimbap inedible. Gross room temperature vegetables covered in some sweet sauce? I dont get it. One of the most overrated restaurants Ive ever dined in.

Healthy, fast, good, reasonably priced, novel, worth return trips due to the sheer number of ingredients. In a perfect world theres a Brown Rice in every town.

Awesome concept, great food, and friendly service. This is a great fast-casual option, with delicious bibimbap. Baltimore needs more places like this!

I enjoyed this place more before they took certain ingredients off the list. It is a great place and value, but I miss fish cake and anchovies!!

Basically a Korean Chipotle! Delicious! Only complaint was that there isnt a ton of room for dining in if youre with a group of 4+.

Love the stews, especially the Dackdori Tang (spicy chicken stew). The staff is always friendly and helpful. A real gem.
