Authenticity and Variety of Korean Food
Pros:
"Tasty authentic Korean food, a wide range of Korean drinks."
"The menu had two types: with names and with photos. The food was served quickly, freshly made and with love."
"They also had a really wide variety of things to choose from."
"Food is really authentic and reasonably priced - my go-to is the kimchi jjigae with rice."
"So nice people working here and the food is really really delicious. I think this is one of the best Korean restaurant in London."
"Bab n Suul in London is a hidden gem for food lovers like me! The BBQ dishes were incredibly flavorful and tender."
"As a Korean who has been cooking korean food for 30 odd years and living in London for 17 years, I can safely say that the food is great with nice ingredients."
Cons:
"The seafood fried rice was disappointingly bland and mushy, lacking any memorable flavors."
"Despite the promising start, the food left much to be desired. The prices were exorbitantly high."
"The chicken bibimbap was a complete letdown. Not only did it lack any enjoyable flavours, it made me sick immediately after finishing it."
"The food was okay, but extremely over priced. The food is so not worth it, extremely small portions for really high prices."
Atmosphere and Ambience
Pros:
"The restaurant has tables for bbq and normal tables, deceptively large as the restaurant goes quite far back."
"The restaurant has a very youthful atmosphere, although I felt the music was too loud."
"Facilities are clean and lovely atmosphere, friendly staff."
"The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic with loud music playing in the background."
"The interior is really modern and is reminiscent of an upmarket bar."
Cons:
"I felt the music was too loud."
"Only draw back is the price, but it's worth it as a treat/day out to London."
"The only thing I did not enjoy was having people next to me having Korean bbq’s, the smoke was quite intense and annoying."
"Staff seemed shocked that we wanted the service charge off, but the service was not out of the ordinary to deserve a £40 service charge."
Service Quality
Pros:
"Had a lovely evening spent with friendly staff. Thank you!"
"The staff were also very helpful when I needed parts of the menu explained."
"Staff help you fry food so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself."
"The staff was so friendly and made the whole experience delightful."
"Staff is friendly and welcoming. Food tastes fresh and delicious."
Cons:
"The service was very good when you got the attention of the servers but I appreciate that they are very busy."
"The service was good, the food came quickly and was good quality. We would recommend."
"Services wasn’t that good, we had to ask 3 times to serve us the drinks."
"The waiters seemed a little clueless and were very slow to take our order, and even slower to bring our food."
"Half of the staff doesn’t speak English or completely ignores you and your requests and walks past you with a grin."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Restaurant is on the £££ side but is 100% worth it, lovely food and great service I’m willing to fork out a few more pounds."
"The price was on the higher side but given the quality of food, location and service I really felt like it was worth every penny."
"Had the fried egg with rice this time round which was £6.50, can be easily split with a friend."
"The lunchtime special was very affordable and the portion was really good I was stuffed by the time I managed to finish."
Cons:
"The prices were exorbitantly high, which might have been acceptable had the quality of the dishes not fallen short."
"The prices are posted on the menu but beware the photo filled booklet where they AREN’T written in!"
"The most expensive price tag I’ve ever seen in London. The flavor was okay. But the presentation was poor. There’s no way this one is £15."
"The food was cold, and overpriced. Waiter was rude to the point that when we asked not to pay the (optional) service charge he stormed off without a word afterwards."
