THE BAB Oost

THE BAB's Oost branch keeps things stripped back — order by QR code, food arrives in minutes — and puts the effort where it counts: dolsot bibimbap with proper crust, kimchi jjigae that doesn't apologise for its heat, Korean fried chicken with a genuinely crisp batter. Portions are big, lunch deals are honest, and the plain room keeps the focus on the bowl. Note the split hours and the Thursday evening-only schedule. For a fast, warming Korean fix on this side of town, this is the address.
