Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

Korean comfort food done right.

On the Bab is a Korean food haven that has charmed its way into hearts with dishes like the chill fried chicken and pork with kimchi rice. It's a no-frills kind of place where the food isn't just good; it's banging. People are raving about their big portions and friendly staff, making it a solid choice for a casual meal with mates. The atmosphere? Cramped but lively, just like your favorite dive bar.

However, if you're looking for a Michelin dining experience, you might want to adjust your expectations. It's all about the authentic vibes here, and the food does the talking. Just be prepared to share a table with a couple of new friends unless you're lucky enough to score a prime seat. Overall, it's perfect fuel for anyone craving Korean comfort food.
