On the Bab in Hackney

Delicious and Delicious!!! Ok 1. you have to try the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken its the best (12 pcs). Then the bun with fried chicken, and then the bibimbap with vegetables! Done! So easy! I was lucky didn't have to wait for a table on a Thursday evening around 7:30pm. Also yes it is a bit pricey side but its worth it! The location and its cosy, very comfortable. Highly recommended!

The best Korean sweet and spicy chicken! I even ordered some for takeaway to eat the next day. The passion fruit lemonade was really refreshing too. I would have knocked it down to four stars because I got three chicken bites instead of four for my takeaway, but since it’s so delicious, I’ll let them off.

I have been to this place twice now and both times it was so good. It is a very small place which brings an intimate feel to it. I would think it gets really packed on the weekends. We got the dumplings to start which were great. The fried chicken bao was also amazing. The poke wasn’t that great however, the beef was quite tough and not something I would order again. The service was good however. We also got some fried chicken which was tasty.

I'd seen many Koreans eating here which is always a good sign. I worked around the corner so decided to try it. It's SO good!! I had the spicy pork noodles! .. The textures, the depth of flavour, the fresh vegetables - my goodness it was fantastic. I definitely recommend it and after seeing some of the other reviews here I now have some other options to try!

Delicious! Normally very busy and you probably will have to queue! But worth it - fried chicken in any option is a must!

This place serves some of the best Korean food we’ve tried. Not to mention the ever so welcoming staff, they make your visit that much better. Nice variety of food for a small place, prices in line with London. Worth every effort to go out of your way to get there if you’re not in the neighborhood!!

Very authentic South Korean food.They don't have much space so maybe not a good choice for a massive get-together, but would be great for a group of 4 or a date or even going by yourself.Also they don't take reservation so you'll have to walk in and see if they have any table available.

I'm sorry to write such an extreme review but the food here is not recommended for the below reasons:-1. The beef rice is served with too much salad sauce. I don't believe it is the authentic Korean style.2. We ordered three flavours of fried chicken. Garlic mayo and Ginger flavours were fair. However, too much bread were attached to the chicken which was too thick as fried chicken dish.3. Food portion was not generous and was not proportionate to the price.4. As a side matter, the bowl serving the beef rice was not looking nice. I guess the restaurant was trying to imitate the living condition as suggested in the Squid Game.Despite the above, staff were kind and friendly. They worked like a close family full of joy. Hopefully, they would offer a wider variety of Korean food in future.

Costly and small portions, however, the food was not bad. We ordered lots of things, and they brought them all together, which resulted in the food turning cold quickly.Also, we were disappointed with the staff when they said no to our request to switch the cold air blowing to our necks. They told us that it was not cold air blowing but warm hair, which it wasn't. We went to eat around 4 in the afternoon, and we were the only people eating in that corner of the restaurant, so I didn't think it was much of a problem for them to switch it off while we were eating. Also, it was one of the coldest days in London, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling to be eating in a restaurant and feeling cold. So we decided to eat with our coats on, which was frustrating.I would definitely try other Korean restaurants in London before coming back to this one.

What a little gem this place. I took my cousin as I heard about it. The soup noodle was just awesome and perfect after our event. Staff were really friendly and chatty. Definitely will bring my wife and friends again. Portion are very generous as well. Honestly you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food - give them a try. Room and table is a bit tight so definitely worth going when there is more space.
