“ I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! From drinks to food to service, it was such a great experience! We had a team dinner here and ordered a lot of items to share/try. I had a virgin lychee drink and that was so delicious, I had to pace myself or else I'd finish it in one gulp...it was that good lol! I would definitely come back again the next time I visit! ”

“ Seoul BAP is a great hidden gem for a night out. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The Galbi Jjim is an excellent choice, along with their Burrata Tteokboki. The desserts are also amazing and a MUST try. Unfortunately, I was too busy with the drinks and food to remember to take a picture. Will return. ”
“ i love a modern korean restaurant and bar with nice ambience! everything from the presentation to the taste was immaculate and i highly recommend making a reservation to visit! everything tasted as good as it looked enjoyed: lychee martini, korean pear cocktail, sashimi dupbap, galbi jjim, mango yuzu cake ”
“ I have seen this place all over my Tiktok and Instagram and have been wanting to come for a while. My friends and I finally made the reservation to come here for dinner on Friday night - we made a reservation for 5:45 pm. I would recommend making a reservation since I think they can be pretty busy for dinner on the weekends. They have a good variety of drink and foot options. The place is very vibey - on the dark side and it's not super huge. For food we decided to get: -Fries: These were alright, I would pass on this since they were pretty standard for fries. -Beef Tartare: This was really yummy, the flavors were good and the chips were super crispy. They come with two different chips options - seaweed one and then shrimp cracker type -Buratta Tteokbokki: This sounded so unique so we got it and it was very creamy and yummy. Not super spicy at all. -Galbi JJim with a side of purple rice: this is a MUST - the flavors were so good and and the meat was so tender and not tough at all. It went so well with the purple rice - the waiter actually recommended getting rice because it was very flavorful and it goes well with the rice. Overall - the food was so good. Highly recommend checking this place out! ”
“ Great food and service!! The espresso martini is so good! Also must order the Galbi Jjim the steak falls of the bone!! Also the fried chicken the sauce was sooo good! ”
“ Amazing new Korean restaurant! Each dish is super creative and what's even more impressive are the garnishes. Parsnip purée on the galbi jjim was addicting. The Korean Fried Chicken had the best lemon hinted dipping sauce. Both drinks were fantastic - highly refinement the raspberry one! Servers are friendly and attentive. Overall good vibes and would come again! ”
“ I keep seeing this spot on social media and I'm happy to say it wow'ed me! My boyfriend and I started off with some mocktails (because we're doing Dry January). Around half of the cocktails on the menu have mocktail versions! Both of ours were delish and perhaps it was placebo but after a few sips we were having a grand time! It was really difficult to choose what was on the menu. We even enlisted the help of our server, Kevin, to share recommendations! We ordered the Galbi Jjim, Prawn Stew, and Burrata tteokbokki. The Galbi jjim stole the show!! It is a can't-miss! All the different aspects of the dish were standout: the braised short rib (which was very tender) that was topped with chimichurri and the the parsnip puree (I couldn't stop eating it)! WOW. My other favorite was the burrata tteokbokki. It was a fun new take on a classic Korean dish. The burrata is a mild cheese yet it really complements the spice of the tteokbokki. Such a great combo! We were nearly bursting at the seams by the end of the night, but we had to get dessert. We ordered the yuzu mango cake which was delightful! They describe it as an "airy mousse", and yes I would say it is quite light (with a bottom cake layer) and a nice berry compote on the side. Love love love, and would recommend for a date night, happy hour, or just hanging with friends!! ”
