Bi bim bop was good; burned my finger several times on the hot bowl. Went in to get the bi bim bop burger that I had heard all about, but they were out (how do you run out of burgers?)
Kwik Chek, a former convenience store turned...Greek-Korean grill? It's one of those things that could only happen in America. And is clearly a Memphis treasure.
The Greek sandwiches look amazing. They also sell a nice Greek salad. But their stuffed grape leaves were a bit too hard to be great.
But unquestionably the king of their menu is the Bi Bim Bop Burger. A Korean dish wth beef and egg, fused into a burger. Kinda mind blowing.
For a fun, fast, affordable and unusual meal. Hit this place up.
Kwik Chek looks like a complete hole-in-the wall but has, hands down, one of the best burgers I've ever had. The Bi Bim Bop Burger is absolute perfection, from its perfectly toasted bun to its spicy veggie garnish. This burger is WAY better than most I've had at much fancier places where I paid double if not triple the price at Kwik Chek. And it's hard to choose between so many yummy sides! I get a new one each time I'm there.
Hell yeah. Korean American heavy metal Fusion. What more could you want. Don't be a snob. Be adventurous! I like the Bi Bim Bop Burger!
The Turk. Absolutely Devine!!!
OMG!!! This is wonderful. I'm found the holy grail. Actual home made Yaki Mondu not the typical gyoza that you always find. Thank goodness for Kwik Chek
I love This place !!! I came here all throughout college and whenever I have company in town I always bring them here. I've had many things on the menu. My husband swears by the bi bim bap, but I've always been a little afraid of it for some reason. It seems to be a big hit there though. I did have the other fried rice dish although I don't remember what it was called. It was pretty spicy but so flavorful and fresh. I love the "hey Zeus" and always request it to be a little crispier.. The wrap it comes on tastes so good when it's browned. If you're starving or splitting a meal with your special honey love, the muffalettas are humongous and probably the best value in terms of portion size. They taste good. The turkey club is great as well, but their other kinds of breads and wraps are so good I feel like it's a waste to just get plain old sandwiches. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Memphis!!
Inapparently delicious. I've always enjoyed the discrepancy between Kwik Chek's scrappy facility and their delicious sandwiches and dishes. Their noodle shop next door is also very good.
Wow! This was good! Don't be fooled by the look of it. It looks like a quick stop when you walk in. We got the bi bim bop, pajeon, and the falafel platter (this place is a unique combo of Korean and Mediterranean). It was all delicious. I would definitely suggest this restaurant to people.
I've been here a number of times over the years. It's always been good. A few weeks ago I met a friend here for lunch and he recommended the bibimbap. I didn't even know what that was. What a great dish! It put me over the top on this place. Great stop, any time of day.
I had to come over to try the Ninja sub I have heard everyone raving about....small grocery store like setting with a few tables...fairly varied menu but I knew what I wanted. ..I waited maybe 10 minutes or so? Not very long...sandwich came out hot....good sandwich for sure...spicy with lots of meat and veggies....best sandwich in the city? I don't think so but it was a good sandwich....I would like to try more of their offerings for sure.
I recommend Kwik Check if you are hungry for some casual food. The place was small but very welcoming and humble. It also seems to be a local favorite! While the beef bibimbap is not as good as the bibimbap I’ve had in Korea, it’s still delicious and enjoyable. I also tried the green plum juice…amazing. We will come here again to try the sandwiches!
My favorite muffaletta in this city. This place has been a staple in this city for decades now. Always a solid choice.
*Korean noodle soup and half a spicy muffaletta . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have tried muffulettas at a few places around town and my absolute favorite is from here!! The spicy muffuletta is something I crave almost constantly. I will say the one time I got the ninja there was a lotttttt of sauce on it and by the time I got home the bread was soggy and dripping, but that won’t keep me away. I’ll just ask for less next time.
Consistently the best food in the city. You can’t go wrong with the eclectic menu. For years my favorite item was the Hey Zeus although a couple years back I fell in love with the Bi Bim Bop. Today, it was the Kim Chi chicken burrito. Try something new and enjoy this Memphis jewel.
Hidden gem in Memphis! I know I will never be disappointed with Kwik Check! Their food is always clean and delicious. Their bibimbap bowl is my go-to (and is also a part of my hangover cure haha)! I'm vegan and it is easy to modify without the egg. Their side tofu is also delicious ;) Highly recommend!!
This place was so good! We were skeptical at first. Korean and sandwiches? However we were pleased with our take out. The sandwiches and kimchi fried rice were great.
This place is a hybrid of a stop and go shop and a small restaurant. You order your food at the counter. You can buy the chips and drinks separate. The sandwiches are good. I highly recommend the kimchi fried rice.
I had a wonderful experience here today that changed the entire vibe of my day! Was waiting on an Uber eats order that was gonna take too long and couldn’t cancel the order and the guy working rushed my order bc he could tell I was upset. I appreciated it endlessly. Food was great too!
It's hard not to grab lunch at Kwik Chek. The kimchi burrito, the mandu, or the sandwiches like the Ninja or Falafel are all great. I find myself often craving one or all of them. There is even bi bim bop or gyro!
The workers and owners are always pleasant, too. One of the best parts of Midtown and Memphis for sure!
