This is my favourite local Korean restaurant. The fried chicken (do the half’n’half) is worth waiting in the line for! My favourite dish is the prawn and octopus salad. If you don’t want to wait I suggest coming when they open as it will be quieter. It is normal to wait 45min to 90mins in a line outside as this is a very small and popular spot. I wouldn’t come here in a large group as it will be a long wait. They don’t take bookings.
Although at first glance it seems nothing special but once you enter this little place you are about to embark on great food experience. Do not get discouraged by potential queues outside. It’s worth the wait ;)

Now this is a double review!
I have eaten at On the Bab many times in the past but for some reason have never gotten round to reviewing them. But on this occasion, I indulged from the comfort of my bed 🛏! Courtesy of Deliveroo, the food delivery company. I used the app which is very easy to manoeuvre and ordered the food.
The app keeps track of timing so you can see when the food is being prepared and then finally out for delivery. It took roughly 30mins from the time I ordered until delivery. My favourite part of ordering food is watching the food coming towards my home (it is so comforting, trust me).
Anyway, the food is well packaged so arrives in one piece. The packages however were not labelled and this was my first time getting it delivered, I have never encountered this issue. I ordered a mushroom fritter on the bab and fried chicken on the bab. My sister and I had to really analyse the two packages for identification and then finally decided that she will take the fist bite out of one of them to confirm.
I however, being an advocate for the masses, called On the Bab to let them know that the boxes were not labelled and what confusion is caused to be told that they don’t usually label the boxes as they have too many orders to process (a simple ‘M’ would suffice). On explaining I was a vegetarian, he then lets me know the mushroom fritter is fried in the same oil as the chicken......
Luckily I am not strict with my dietary choices, but for those who are, it needs to be made more clear. Altogether a great service and I do like On the Bab and it was my sister’s first time trying it and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you’re going to eat in store, be mindful it is a small store so expect queues outside! Highly recommended however! ..and remember, lots of people means it’s good!
