I came here with my girlfriend & best friend for my birthday! Got there right at 5pm as I read there was no reservations and it wasn’t packed at all. The food is 10/10, i don’t think I’ve EVER tasted Brussels sprouts that good before wow. Bibimbap, Fire chicken, & Beef Bulgogi were all also very good! The drinks also were amazingggg.

I will say I could see a place like this getting crowded and packed later in evening. I’m not a big fan of crowds so if I visited again I’d probably stick to the 5pm slot. Overall though I really enjoyed Babo!

We were just turned away at the door with many many seats open because we didn't want to sit at a high top. We were told us a couple we couldn't take one of the seats that was available because they wanted to have four people not two. We are local we don't live far away and now this is the third time I've had difficulty eating at this location I don't think I'll be coming back I would understand if they had reservations but they didn't.

Our servers was super friendly. The atmosphere was great but the food is overly salty, heavily sauced and the flavors dont combine well. Only the glass noodles were decent. Dont get the Bandhan nor the pancakes. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you are here for the drinks.

Dont come here for authentic korean food

Loved being able to share a few dishes between two people. Portion sizes allow you to try many things.

Great atmosphere. Was told vegan dish was vegan but it had honey in it. Was not the best accommodations for a Vegan, but still a cool place overall. I still had a good time with my friends

Beautiful place, but not somehwere I'd reccomend if you are looking for korean food. The aesthetic is the reason to come here if you enjoy a punk place to chill at. The Bibimbap uses a very low quality beef for the price.

Excellent korean food. Never really loved Bulgogi before coming here and now I am just convinced I just never had good Bulgogi because this was phenomenal. Will go back.
