On Bap in Edinburgh

We have regular and loyal customers of on bap for at least 5 years but even though this place does great food, the management is a complete and utter disgrace. We wanted to book a table for 9 people and the management said no because they said it would be too hard for the chef to cope with cooking for 9 orders?, yet this place regularly gets packed out as soon as it opens so what difference does it make? It's not like this place can seat that many people anyway(the max capacity is 15 or so)!.We even offered to sit separately and this was still not acceptable. It was only until we actually told them that one group of people would order their food first and the other group after 10 mins time that they reluctantly acceptable. What sort of business has this type of ridiculous and idiotic policy?On a separate note, this place states that no outside food or drinks are to be consumed on the premises which is understandable however, there must be exceptions to this rule for example if a child have multiple severe allergies which my little one has (wheat, milk, eggs and nuts)!. Yet again, this was not taken seriously by management. Perhaps the lack of understanding was due to the language barrier due but i highly doubt it!

We had seafood&onion pancake, and sweet chili chicken, which are all tasty! Authentic Korean food~ As an asian, I've tried many korean restaurants, this one leaves me very good impression, and I'll definitely come back.

We had pork Kimchi jigae and Korean fried chicken with sweet chili sauce. They don’t have a sauce without “sweet” and it wasn’t particularly spicy…bummer. We still enjoyed it. Jigae was good. Would have liked more kimchi in it. They do not serve all the small side dishes like in traditional Korean homes/restaurants so in good conscience I cannot give 5 stars. I will go back there to try other dishes.

On Bap is a lovely Korean dine place where you can find basic traditional Korean dishes. It's a small place with 6 square tables(for 2 or 3 people max) and window seats for max 3 people. I saw they open this place and I was desperate to visit and try their cooking. Being honest the food was good but I've tasted better in a Korean restaurant in London and Dublin. I guess I need to visit and try again... it could be the case that they still new business and that probably they are still figuring out details for the food and service. We arrived 45 min before closing time and it was the usual 20min waiting for the food to arrive. The presentation was normal for Korean dishes. The tables, the cutlery and cups where clean. They offer water for self-service and they have traditional Korean drinks. I'm surprise they're only open few hours per day and they had a couple of people trying to come in after closing time. In general I had a lovely time and I ate well. Thank you for the food.

Nice food, decent portion sizes, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Also the place was packed with Asian people which is always a good sign for an Asian food place!

Second time trying Korean food, in my opinion it was good. The sweet chill fried chicken with nuts on top was delicious and definitely would get it again (3/5). The katsu curry was well presented and tasted delicious (4/5). The only issue was that we waited around 20 to 30 minutes to get a table.

Finally I found authentic flavor Korean restaurant. I never ever seen 낙지 in the UK! I didn’t expect much, it was really impressive. I thought i was in Korea. The amount of food is great and delicious.However, don’t understand payment rule.Only weekend lunch= Cash only………?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been here and also have some take away! Their foods are so tasty! It’s not over priced compare to what you get (quality and portion)! I always think that you don’t need to go to fancy restaurants to have amazing foods you just know where to go and this is the place I recommend for Korean in Edinburgh!!!!!!!!!

Authentic delicious Korean cuisine that you can't find elsewhere in Edinburgh. Also, they are using stone pots for some of their dishes and soups, which keep the food hot until you finish it. Must try in Edinburgh!

First time visit and the food was so tasty. The menu is limited to certain dishes but this reflects to the effort they put to prepare them. Easily a five star.
