KIM and BAB Korean Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
I’ve been going here for a few years and they have always exceeded expectations!! Amazing owner and lovely employees!! Love the food sooo much!!
Have been a regular here for 3 years for a reason! Amazing food & service; I have seriously never had a single bad experience here. That Kim & BAB craving has been haunting me every other week for a while now, I can never get enough! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something out of the norm that’s absolutely delicious.
We had the beef bulgogi, and beef Ramen, fried dumplings, in the kimchi was absolutely amazing. I would 100% highly recommend this Korean restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Korean cuisine. Not to mention they have a wide variety of some of the best Boba you've ever drink! If you haven't tried this place yet you are missing out
The worker was incredibly kind and the place was immaculately clean with a subdued atmosphere. My friend and I hung out there for over an hour and felt comfortable. The food was good. I got the hot stone bimbimbap. Not the best verison of the dish I have ever had, but great for the price.
Conveniently located and having a well put together, but not suffocating atmosphere, my first visit to KIM and BAB was perfect. The food was fresh and tasted wonderfully. Staff helped me navigate the menu (being new to Korean) and thoughtfully brought some recommendations for sauces with the food. Overall, I really couldn't think of anything to complain about at all. Will definitely be adding to my go-to list! Photos are of the #5 Ramyun and #2 Mandu.
First time customer. My wife & I was looking for something different, and we found it! Very tasty food, reasonably prices, super friendly helpful service. Simple, clean dining area. Definitely a hidden gem!
Update 2025: I love this place. I'm sad I didn't get over here enough. The price is great, the service is friendly and the food is fantastic. My go to is the bibimbab, but literally everything is AMAZING! ORIGINAL: Great Korean. Super nice people. The specials are awesome. Enjoy!
This place is amazing. They have a nice selection of Korean classics and it's all priced super cheap! I have have payed twice as much for Korean food half as good. The kimchi pancakes are a must try! I will be going back as much as possible.
