THE BAB Oud-West in Helmersbuurt

The food was very good overall ! But when my bibimbap arrived, the dolsot was unfortunately not hot enough, so I had to send it back ! A bit disappointing at first, to be honest ! But once it came back, it was extra hot, just how it should be ! The rice was perfectly crispy at the bottom, full of texture and flavor, and it completely changed the experience ! In the end, it was exactly what I was hoping for and definitely worth the wait ! The corn silk tea was good , i recommend it !

Very cozy atmosphere and tasty, unique Korean food. While the menu isn’t very large, the offered options are perfect in terms of size, taste, and price. The service was also very friendly and quick. Definitely coming back again!

This is the best soup I've ever had, and the taste is almost the same as when I was in Korea.Very warm.

We tried BAB Oost years ago and this time we dined at BAB Oud-West. You order and pay online after scanning a QR code. Then the food is quickly brought to your table. The soup was a special and it was absolutely delicious. The rest of the food was also excellent. All in all, we had a delicious lunch.

The heating was very weak in December, ordering and payment was done electronically, the food was excellent, the portion size was adequate, the flavors were spicy but harmonious. I would go back.

Restaurant with great value for money. It's a great place to satisfy your craving for Korean food. I thought the portion of rice could be bigger and the food could be hotter.

Korean food Not cheap but very good especially the gibimbap Tasty and spicy tatokbokki After watching several Korean series our dream came true to eat Korean food and we enjoyed it very much

Spice Bulgogi stew is very good!

The food was high quality, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The fried chicken was amazing! A natural choice if you're craving Korean food—highly recommended!

Excellent flavors. The menu is also halal, so you can comfortably host your guests. I'd also like to thank the chef who prepared this delicious menu. The prices are very reasonable, and the menu is satisfying.

Perfect plase ,food is soo nice!!!!

Delicious food and an easy dinner experience with helpful staff.

Very good Korean food (be careful of the spicy food)

I ate here this Saturday for dinner, the food was delicious especially the stir-fried noodles with vegetables, I can say that the chicken is one of the best I've ever eaten! Even though it was quite crowded, everything arrived very quickly!

A truly authentic Korean restaurant!! If you're craving Korean food while traveling, I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants. Thank you for the delicious meal. I'll be back again next time❣️👍

Best Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had

I LOVE THEIR CHICKEN YUM YUM YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!

I stumbled across this place randomly while walking on the street but I gotta say I have had the best bibimbap and classic chicken at this restaurant. It was very delicious! Will definitely consider coming back.

Even Koreans enjoy these delicious stone pot bibimbap and earthenware pot bulgogi! I highly recommend them!

I really liked the kimbap! Chicken dumplings were also delicious.

Delicious. Can be a bit pricey if you want extra things with your meal, but the meal fills you up a lot so overall I'd say it's worth it!

Service and food was delicious, I came with my mom and she loved the chicken fried!! Everything was delicious!

Honestly what is this portion? It must be a joke… we ordered with ubereats and the portion is awful. The photo says it all doesn’t it?

The food was really good and the price-performance ratio was completely reasonable.

One of the best Korean dishes I've ever eaten. Large portions of chicken, tasty, and a good price.

Amazing food and atmosphere for our cozy Amsterdam day. Recommend to everyone.

I visited twice during my trip to Amsterdam. It was so delicious. I highly recommend it.

It's so delicious. Thank you so much for being so kind and the food is delicious.

High cost performance and good service

Yum yum yum so delicious it's insane wowie I wish it was less expensive so my broke behind could eat here more I love chicken

Very casual setting, not loud but still lively. Had super good experience with their food. We were group of 3 and tried different things. I absolutely loved my bimbimbap and had a bite of japchae which was absolutely amazing!

Great Korean food! Fried chicken, bulgogi, bibimbap, and gimbap, all excellent. The service is friendly and very fast. It's a bit chilly in the restaurant in winter. The prices are a bit too high.

Kimbab and chicken were a generous portion and was so delicious! 🤤 definitely worth the money

The food was very delicious and the stuff were very friendly and helpful. I really recommend this place

It was amazing, we were looking to eat a bibimbap here in Amsterdam and we found the right place, fried chicken is also very goood. Service is nice and fast :)

Korean Lover: The BAB is a must-visit. It tastes great. Authentic Korean food. The staff is very friendly. It's worth it.

We enjoyed our food: a kimchi-jeon starter and two dolsot bibimbaps, one vegetarian and one with meat. The starter was delicious. The bibimbap was nice: personally I missed some spinach and/or some leafy greens on my veggie bibimbap and I wished the gochujang had been a little spicier.

Korean fried chicken was fireeeee (would have appreciated the basic white rice already included with the chicken seen the price but it's ok)

Halal korean fried chicken (KFC) restaurant. I love the japchae more than the KFC though. It's nice, boneless, huge portion of KFC, and the price is more on the pricier side compared to other KFCs in NL that I have been to. Not sure if it is because of Amsterdam price. It was pretty empty during lunchtime on Saturday, they have a lot of available seats.

Very delicious, the taste is authentic 😍 Satisfying, just as I wanted.

Nothing got the eye on the menu and the stuff seemed irritated so didnt feel comfortable to ordered. Got tokboki or however you write it and it was good!

The staff were not friendly. They need training in communicaton skills.

We didn't like the bibimbap, we liked the noodles better.

Food was great. Service was efficient. Very enjoyable.

The food is just ok in Amsterdam standard. First you need to use the qr code to order food, it seems there are no other options. The price is not too high. But the food is not as good as other Korean restaurants. The pot rice is just a little dried but not crispy, I mean the edge of the rice should be a little crispy. There are not enough fresh vegetables or Kimchi as toppings. And the sauce is not spicy at all. The rice roll is not good either.

The best chicken, affordable too.

Best chicken I've ever had in my life.

The Classic Fried Chicken was very tough and strong. Too much garlic and soy clashed with the sweetness. The Kimchi Bokumbab fried rice with a fried egg looked better than it tasted. A bit overhyped and overpriced. I won't be returning to these dishes.

The food is really good, lots of good options. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Good Korean food, deliciously seasoned and beautifully presented, at a reasonable price. Portions are generous and generous. Great service. Very nice!

Delicious authentic korean food! Lovely staff and cozy space as well. We tried bibimbap, teokbeokki and the pancakes which were so delicious and creamy and webt so well with their sauce. The bibimbap also tasted very fresh and nicely made. Must try

I liked the overall experience. I had never tried Korean food, and I realized that it has its own particularity. It is different from other Asian cuisines and very delicious too. We ate plenty and didn't feel heavy afterwards, super healthy and light, plus a good flavor. Excellent attention too.

it is delicious. There are no side dishes at all. This is a Korean restaurant run by Koreans.

First of all food the food is good. I went with my wife this morning since it was our day off trying to relax from our stressful week. Really nice place fast serving but the only complaint I have is. As we were ordering i was asking g a few questions about the since it was our first time food any recommendations etc but the waitress had an attitude and sometimes didn't answer and it seemed like she was having a rough time.

This place has fair options from the Korean choices. Their menu is wide and you can try many things. The taste is good but not impressive in compared to other Korean restaurants. Staff are friendly

We order kimchi bokkeumbab, kimchi pancakes and bibimba and everything was delicious! Great quality, amazing taste and the price was good.

We absolutely loved it!! The Korean fried chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. We will be back for more!

Service was nice and quick. The ambiance was okay. The food is not the best but not the worst.

The bulgogi had barely any meat in it and it was 70% rice and the place was so cold inside two weeks ago when I visited. They don't have heating. The food was tasty though.

I had a very good meal here, this is highly recommended for picky eaters. I asked for less vegetables in my noodles and they listened very carefully. I have rarely eaten such tasty chicken as theirs. I will definitely come here more often.

Nice people and friendly service, Delicious dishes , keep it up !

Authentic stone pot bibimbap found in the distant land of Europe.

Good quality Korean food. The problem was the table next to the door which kept opening and it was very cold coming in which was very uncomfortable. Otherwise the service was friendly

Nice Staff. The quality of the food is below average. Not tasty and fresh and I was really disapointed because I like Korean good. Also too expensive. I would not recommend this restaurant.

A place where Koreans can recharge their kimchi power when they get tired from traveling

The fried chicken and bibimbab are amazing!

So delicious and authentic. The service attitude is also good.

The red pepper paste is a bit sweet, but it’s still delicious! Each ingredient is seasoned just right and the amount of rice is plentiful. You can also order tap water for free!

Fried chicken is too much for one person, unless you share. It’s also very flavored, but the chicken alone doesn’t add much to the meal. You have to add other options, I took the rice with along with the chicken doesn’t do much. Hygiene is low, girls with hair hanging out preparing food. The place also isn’t that good smelling. Overall I think it’s overrated.

I found a Korean restaurant while traveling in the Netherlands and came to visit. The food was clean and delicious. It is a kind and nice restaurant.

I absolutely love the food here and have never encountered such friendly staff! I visited yesterday to order takeaway. Even though I arrived a bit late, the kind girl at the counter still offered me the package deal. She invited me to take a seat while the food was being prepared, but I told her I would wait in my car and come back to pick it up. To my surprise, when the food was ready, she braved the cold and rain to look for my car and personally bring the order to me. I was genuinely touched by her effort and felt a little guilty for causing her to go out of her way. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and I truly appreciated it!

Fast, accurate, friendly and tasty restaurant!

Nice Korean restaurant. Simple with friendly personnel and clean exactly like in Korea. Perfect to eat calmly your meal or with friends for eating and chatting. Cheap for Amsterdam and very tasty. Young people run the business so praise and embrace them. 5/5

Hearty meals made with fresh ingredients. The staff were also so kind to us.

That lady's attitude is extreme.

Food was not what i expected but that’s because im not used to eat something sweet and salty but overall it’s good

The BAB is one of my favorite spots in town! The fried chicken🍗, rice, and kimchi are a must-have for me every time I visit. Consistently delicious and satisfying – highly recommend 💯

Food here is really not good. Fried chicken is dry and tough. The gimbap with bulgogi is tasteless. There are much better Korean restaurants in town!

Amazing food, service and attention. One of the best Korean food in town!

Best tteokbokki I've ever eaten (also my first one) Try it ONLY if you really enjoy spicy food

now half a year later i feel the need to adjust my review. the original is still available after *** The fried chicken last week was horrible. no other words. They handled my complaint professional and offered options to compensate like no charge, replacement or something else. so that’s good and should be example for many other restaurants. despite that, i lost my appetite for spicy fried chicken 😞 ****Good food for money and comfortable place to sit alone. Visit regularly and quality is consistently good. In the winter best to avoid a seat near the door (if you dont like to operate as a doorman) because it doesn’t close easily and guests and delivery guys can’t seem to be able close a door properly.

Ate as take-out, very tasty and friendly staff. Price could be slightly lower for the portions, but the taste cannot be copied. You can taste that this is really authentic Korean food. Will definitely come back when we are in Amsterdam!

Worth a try for the first time Korean food tasters!!

Lovely service, food and staff are wonderful

Chicken giyoza was praised by my son, but potato noodles were unbearably sweet. I regret ordering it. Terrible amount of sugar… why?? And they serve food in plastic 😵‍💫

Food was amazing! I added rice to the leftover japchae sauce and it was incredible. We also walked out without all our stuff and they kept it safe for us until we came back. 10/10

Always delicious japchae!! The last time the chicken was a little less tender than I was used to, but still very tasty!

Solid Korean food - very similar to fast/casual Korean restaurants in the US.

Really great place, great food especially the chicken. Fast service

If you want to eat Korean food, this is the place. It’s really delicious ㅠㅠ

Great food! Fast service. Recommend.

My fav Korean restaurant in Amsterdam❤️

Koreans who miss Korean food should definitely visit this place.

Authentic korean. And I mean authentic, so if you look for that kind of experience, this is your place.

Very good Korean! Didn’t take a good photo of their tteokbokki, but it was absolutely delicious. This place definitely hit the spot for us on a rainy day, thank you!

Korean fried chicken is not crunchy at all but the sauce is ok

Great food and super kind service! I had the bibimbap with bulgogi and it was so delicious. I think I could happily eat that bulgogi everyday forever. The kimchi was nice too. And the server was super sweet and very kind to my dog. Would definitely recommend and come back. :)

We love the KFC here. Service is fast which we like. Overall a good place for Korean food.

Very good food, fast service. I recommend !
