Bibim in Allston May Be Coming to Somerville's Davis Square

It looks like a Korean restaurant in Allston may be expanding to one of the busiest sections of Somerville, taking over the space where a location of a burger chain had been.

Eater Boston is reporting that Bibim is looking to open in Davis Square, moving into the former McDonald's site on Elm Street in the heart of the square. The article mentions that the restaurant is hoping to get both a common victualer license and a full liquor license, with The Somerville News Weekly mentioning that the city will hold a meeting on the liquor license on Monday, March 17.

[March 18 update: Bibim appears to be one step closer to opening, as Eater Boston mentions (via @Ward5Online) that they have been granted a full liquor license.]

The original Bibim can be found at 166 Harvard Avenue in Allston where Color Restaurant used to be. The restaurant offers such items as fish cakes, dumpling soup, kimchi pancakes, beef bulgogi, fried chicken, bibimbap, and bubble tea.

The address for this planned Korean spot in Davis Square is 243 Elm Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.
