Babo is a laid back corner bar focused on value and vibe. We serve Korean staples in a lively bar atmosphere, and also have a significant bar-only clientele. The food is great for sharing and our staff is laid back, friendly, and enthusiastic about both the food and the environment. More punk rock, than fine dining, we are very much a neighborhood spot looking to expand its reach. The kitchen is owned and operated by a 1st generation Korean-American family. The food is playful and accessible with out being either fusion-y or super traditional. We will be expanding our late night hours in the spring.

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 had SUCH a fantastic experience at Babo! The food was top tier – every single thing we tried was incredible. The portions are perfect, great for sharing. The staff are INCREDIBLY kind and helpful and fun. The vibe is immaculate. 12/10, would go again and again and again!!!

I have tried nearly everything on the menu at this point and every single one has been a hit. Highly recommend the fried rice, dumplings, and pork katsu. Servers have always been super friendly as well & easy parking.

I placed an online order and it was confirmed, but when I got there on time, they hadn’t started making it yet. They kindly offered me a drink while I waited, and the food was ready very quickly.
The beef Bulgogi was tender and delicious.
however, I was disappointed with the bibimbap, I’ve never had it with raw carrots and cabbage, and it didn’t blend well at all… Plus, there was some kind of congealed oil or fat in the carrots that was not appetizing.
The kimchi fried rice was decent, but there were a few overcooked and burnt pieces that were bitter.
I had higher hopes for this place, but hope my experience was just a fluke. But I probably won’t be back.

The food at this Korean restaurant was flavorful, though I found some dishes to be on the saltier side. The spice level was just right for me, adding a nice kick to the meal. The decorations and overall vibe of the place are definitely unique, making for an interesting dining experience. Worth a try if you’re in the mood for something different!

A really nice selection of great tasting foods and interesting drinks. Everything we ordered tasted great and the service was good too. The restaurant is a bit small and dark, but that’s totally fine once you get settled in your seat. I don’t usually eat Korean food, but I really enjoyed this.

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.

Valentine’s Day was busy, but the atmosphere was great!! Food is great quality. I just didn’t love what I ordered but my fiances Korean fried chicken was AMAZING really good chicken. Drinks were also great and unique flavor combos. Parking is a nightmare they have like 8 spots. We paid to park down the road and walked.
