Bab Korean Bistro Brookline 1374 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02446

"We had a positive overall experience with the service at this establishment. While we did encounter a lengthy wait and found it challenging to secure a table in the past. The server was well-acquainted with the menu and provided helpful suggestions. Although the food was generally satisfactory, the Korean pancakes fell short of our expectations, lacking the desired crispiness and having a thicker flavor profile than anticipated for restaurant-style pancakes. Despite this, the attentive service and helpful staff contribute to a generally enjoyable dining experience, though we may explore other Korean options for a more tailored culinary experience in the future."

"Bibimbap is the perfect food for killing time. I wanted to wait traffic out so I stopped here on my long walk back from Brighton to Longwood. It was warm enough to enjoy the outdoor dining. As I waited for my food, I got to watch the cyclists, cars and pedestrians pass. The reason why bibimbap is the perfect food for waiting is that it's like the Korean fajita; it comes out still cooking. It's up to you to mix the ingredients together as the process completes. I hope to return some day to sample some of the other items, including the Korean-Chinese dishes."

"The fried chicken wings were really tasty. The broths here are very average. Avoid the seulong tang, very bland. The spicy galby tang was okay. The sides were also ood here specially the sweet pickle radish"

"A pleasant experience that did not break the bank. We went on Labor Day weekend and were able to get a table outside right away. For food we got the Mandu to start and then Pork Katsu and the Dolsot Bibimbap. The Mandu were phenomenal and very flavorful, but the entrees were lacking slightly. The Katsu tasted great but was overcooked and the Bibimbap was a bit dry, but aside from that still an enjoyable dinner."

"We really enjoyed the food (see pics), service, and availability on a weekend evening! Although the initial pricing seemed high, the portions were so generous that we have lunch for the next day. They took care of us from start to finish."
