A new restaurant featuring Korean culinary favorites is set to debut in a key Columbia retail district.

Bibimbox Korean Kitchen & Wings will have a soft opening on April 7, according to posts from the business on social media. The restaurant is located at 275 Park Terrace Drive, near Bower Parkway, in the busy Harbison retail district northwest of downtown Columbia.

“Get ready Columbia,” the restaurant posted on Instagram. “BiBimBox is bringing crispy Korean fried chicken and your favorite Korean comfort foods including bibimbap, hibachi bowls, tteokbokki, and Korean shaved ice to town!”

Bibimbox said customers can visit eatbibimbox.com and sign up for a newsletter to get early access to the restaurant’s full menu.

The new Korean restaurant will be going into the space that formerly was an Uberrito Fresh Mex restaurant. The Uberrito opened at 275 Park Terrace in late 2021, and closed in November 2024.

Other businesses near the coming Bibimbox include an Academy Sports + Outdoors, Guitar Center, Blaze Pizza, The Juicy Crab and the Regal Columbiana Grande movie theater, among a host of others. The Harbison shopping district, in general, remains a reliably popular commercial corridor, with a host of big box stores, restaurants, bars, theaters, hotels, the Columbiana Centre mall and more located in the area just west of Interstate 26.
