It's a Korean rice dish that is served in a hot stone bowl... if you've never heard of it...I'm not being rude, but then I don't think you'd be able to answer the question.
Answers:
For the other readers who don't know what bibimbap is, it is rice served in a hot stone bowl, along with various vegetables and a Korean hot bean paste called gochujang. It is supposed to be a royal court dish, embodying a balance of colors and flavors that is supposed to represent a healthy, balanced meal.
The traditional way to eat bibimbap is to mix it very well with chopsticks, then you can use a spoon to eat it.
In Korea, they make it very very clear that mixing is the secret to better tasting bibimbap, and that chopsticks are the only way to get it mixed properly.
You can eat it with either a spoon or chopsticks, whichever you're more comfortable with.
