Bab Korean Bistro Brookline

I've always walked by this place. It's quiet discreet in the middle of a busy street. I've always wanted to try it.
Today I ordered from them for delivery- I'm so glad I did!
As a Tangsuyuk lover, I think they have the best Tangsuyuk in town! The sauce is delicious, and I popped it in the air fryer for a few minutes, so nice and crispy. The Jajjangmyeon also tastes delicious! The noodles are good too. Most importantly, I don't feel icky after eating the food here, unlike other places.
Definitely will be visiting the place in person and order delivery from here from now on. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

Amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. Must try this place. Service was top notch too.

food is so good here and the people are always friendly and nice 😺

Good foods

The food here is absolutely delicious, especially the jajangmyeon and the cheesy tteokbokki. The side dishes are fresh and full of flavor too. Plus, the staff is extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and welcoming.

Love the food and large portions. The rose tteokbokki is worth the value!

Great atmosphere, love the food.. heartily recommend the cream jjampong.

My favorite restaurant of all time, highly recommend the tteokbokki and chicken wings

The food here is unbelievably good! We ordered the spicy pork bulgogi buns, beef & veggie glass noodles (Japchae), seafood and scallion pancake (Haemul Jeon), and the TTeok Bokki for 3 of us. It was all very delicious and the portions are large. There was a side of kimchi, radish and veggie garnish. And the pancake came with a side of a sweet sauce. We did take-out, but the restaurant was cute, clean and lively. Since we're relatively new to a wide range of Korean food, it was very helpful that the menu provides small pictures and clarifying details about the food. They also have Korean vodka and Japanese whisky, in-house. Look forward to returning for the full restaurant experience, conveniently located around the corner from the Coolidge Corner Theater, and near a large municipal parking lot. Thanks!

This is the best Korean restaurant I have ever been. Every single menu is great while the price of soju is way cheaper than any other places in Boston. Recommend Seafood Jjachangmyun and Fried pork

I delivered Samgyupsal(pork belly) Korean BBQ, and it was the worst Samgyupsal I’ve ever get in this country.

These guys barbecued samgyupsal as if it were bacon, resulting in meat that was almost burnt, overly tough, and difficult to eat due to overcooking. This is definitely not Korean-style BBQ. I could barely eat a few pieces before giving up and leaving the rest untouched. I don’t know how they prepare other dishes, but when it comes to grilling samgyeopsal, it’s a complete failure (0/10). If they continue cooking it this way, they should not label it as “Korean cuisine.”

I was truly disappointed. Never order samgyeopsal here under any circumstances.

My wife and I dined here before our baby was born.
We ordered tangsuyuk, jajangmyeon, and jjamppong, and the flavors were absolutely fantastic.
The perfect crispiness of the tangsuyuk, the well-balanced seasoning of the jajangmyeon and jjamppong, and their rich flavors became a source of strength for us as we prepared for childbirth.

We have visited this restaurant many times, and it always brings us great joy with its delicious food.
I hope this place continues to serve amazing food to the community for a long time.

The service was very good, the food came fast and was very delicious. loved every bite! Great variety of items on their menu. I can't wait to come again!

I absolutely love this Korean restaurant! Not only is the food incredibly delicious, but the staff truly values each and every customer. They are communicative, warm, and genuine. The atmosphere they create is so welcoming that I keep coming back, not just for the amazing food, but also for the way they treat their guests with such respect and care. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both appreciated and well-fed. Highly recommended!

Beef bulgogi was really dry, flavor was good but there should be more sauce. I ordered tteokboki as well with cheese and it seemed to have some black on it, I assumed it was seaweed but when I ate one it tasted like straight up burn. Our hostess was very sweet the entire time so I felt comfortable enough to ask her about it but when she called a guy over (assuming a chef or other host) he kind of laughed in my face.. I wasn’t trying to complain I just didn’t want burnt food. It really didn’t taste good. they did remake it for me which I appreciate.
