This place consistently exceeds expectations. The owners and staff are always extremely kind and the food is always made fresh. The menu is simple, which I like, and the restaurant's environment is welcoming. Finally, I feel the pricing is reasonable considering everything is made in house. Come support this small, local business!

The best beef bulgogi. The milk tea is good also.

First visit after seeing Korean food on tv. Super yummy and not sure why it's not crowded.

One of my favorite lunch spots in New Albany, the ramyun is delicious, the veggie rolls are beyond delicious, the bulgogi is fabulous too.

Fabulous Korean food tucked away in unassuming strip mall location. Nothing fancy, but all my favorites, mouthwatering. Try kimchi app, mandu, all good. Spicy choices hit it just right, plenty of heat to generate that sheen of sweat, but only complementing the flavors, not replacing it.

I lived in Geochang, South Korea about 14 years ago, and ever since moving to the Midwest I’ve struggled to find truly authentic Korean dishes—especially bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl (dolsot bibimbap). This restaurant absolutely delivers!

I ordered the dolsot bibimbap and added tofu (see my attached picture of my meal). I was asked if I still wanted the traditional egg on top (which you can omit if you want a vegan meal). I said yes. The moment the bowl hit the table, sizzling hot, I knew it was the real deal. The flavors, textures, and crispy rice at the bottom were exactly how I remember them from Korea. Every bite was so delicious—comforting, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I appreciated being asked if I wanted chopsticks AND that the traditional Korean Gochujang sauce was on the table, as well.

The staff was extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive, and the entire restaurant was very clean, which made the experience even better. And I loved the addition of K-pop music and the music videos playing—they added such an authentic Korean feel to the whole meal and made me feel like I was back in Korea again.

If you’re craving genuine Korean cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Even though I live in Ohio - literally 3 hours away from the restaurant - I’m already excited to come back! Seriously, give this place a try and have your own experience. I am VERY happy that we took the detour here for lunch while on our way to Louisville, KY.

Kim and Bab is our absolute favorite! From the delicious spicy/sweet dak-kangjung (chicken) to the flavorful japchae (glass noodles) and the BOBA! I've traveled around and no one compares to the milk tea Boba from Kim and Bab! Matter of fact, headed there now! 🏃‍♀️

This is by far the best Korean food I've tried in this area! I've worked my way around the menu at least twice and have never had a bad experience! Whether you've tried Korean food before or are new to it, this is a great place to go for a home cooked meal and some delicious drinks! Extra bonus, the red sauce is amazing!
잘 먹습니다!!
