Bebeembap was as delicious as it is beautiful 🍜 We shared it and the lady at the counter offered the second bowl without me even asking!!
Service wasn't bad. Food did take a while to get to me. If I wasn't a white girl with texture sensitivities I would've just absolutely loved my dish. The seasoning in the sauce was fantastic and all of the seafood seemed to be cooked pretty well. I'd love to try more food from there
