Bab Korean Bistro Brookline Reviews
The Tteok Bokki with ramen and cheese was great and the portion was HUGE! It was enough for several people or several meals. Slightly spicy, and good flavor. The Ganjang ( Glazed Soy & Sweet ) Chicken was okay. I liked the sauce, and it probably would have been better fresh at the restaurant instead of getting it via door dash. Not bad, but very thick and heavy breading. I would definitely try again and try more items.

The dining room has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and the menu is large enough that there is something for almost everyone, whether you are looking for a hearty soup, sizzling rice dish, or something to share with a group. It feels like the kind of neighborhood restaurant...read full review

The jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) is popular for its taste, while the scallion kimchi pancakes are crispy and packed with flavor. The fried chicken is another highlight, being crispy and flavorful.
