Let’s Bab Korean & Japanese Restaurant, Melbourne, Australia Review

Bad bad bad, I agree this people so rude and suck. Today, it is just because when I ordered the food, I said I do not bring much cash and ask if I can pay with credit card and I am happy to order more than their minimum charge $30. The guy from inside did not know anything came to me and asked me what is the problem? He rush me to pay of my order. He treat me like I want their food and no pay. It was shocking and I quickly just pay before embarrass me any further. But I left this place without bring the food, because It was embarrass me and I did not feel to have their food anymore. They owe me money!!!

Use to be good food...
Now not very good I don't know maybe they have different person is making food?

It took nearly half an hour to prepare for food which tastes like made by rookie level cook. unpleasant service, noisy environment. I would rather eat McDonald.

Food is always good, bust at times but never wait too long to get served.

We were deciding on a good place to eat and we decided to go in this one as this was the only one with with lots of people in it compared to all the resturant around. As we entered the place the atmosphere was filled with a beautiful korean aroma of all the traditional spices. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Most of all the food is super delicious after having the first bite it took us instantly back to korea .Each and every little ingredient on was dish was paid attention too while cooking hats off to the chef of this place we are definitely gonna be back love the food.and next time we will bring all our friends too . The meals came out quite quick . The prices are so reasonable and everything on the menu is quite self explanatory in case ur new to the korean food.This is a place which definitely has something for everyone. Must try this
A1 ++++ place
If anyone is stuck for parking pls park in the parking lot near dan murphys and its a short walk from there as the parking in front of the resturant is only for 30 mins.

Great value for money. The fried chicken was great. Would recommend. Good for a quick bite. Not much parking however.

Average food in an average restaurant for average prices

Great local place for authentic korean food! We have been coming here for years and the food has been consistently good.

Don't go for seafood noodle soup. They simply give you instant Sin noodle!

The owner has been changed and it's a bit more expensive but smaller serve size.

Just came here for a quick meal Good food and quick service

not a big fan anymore, they were really good a few years back.

The food quality is pretty bad, seems to have gone downhill lately. On the plus side it's very cheap. Get what you pay for I guess...

The waitress is so rude and unprofessional to serve the customer, terrible and awful! Asked us to move from a big table to one seat table while they're nobody in the shop beside us. This is a disrespect. The music is also so loud as hell just like in a clubbing studio. This waitress cant understand proper english. Poorly service. Ordered kimchi soup got an eul instead. Hope you get a better waittress.

I love spicy food and I ordered extra hot and they made really hot! I'm happy about that! It tastes like real Korean food too! The Chicken Buldack is better than Gami by a mile!

^^

Decent Korea food. The original fried chicken was dry though. Meat in the kimchi soup could be more, however the side dishes are delicious. Friendly and warm service.

Good korean / japanese food with reasonable price. Place is small and can be very full at dining times. I particularly loved the 1 time rice refill, but the last time I was there I was told it's no longer given :(

Went there today and they asked us to leave because they ran out of ingredients.... Ended up going to the restaurant next door which had food that was better than this place.

As a general consideration to like most of the other reviews to this restaurant from other consumers, I can definitely say that Let s Bab is a real let down on so called inexpensive quality as my experience was nothing of the sorts.

I had the Beef Bulgogi Set, which tasted mundane in flavour. Meat portions were heavily outweighed by the amount of onions that were used to disguise the true amount and the lack of flavouring The side dishes alike were also very bland and something that you wouldn t expect from an establishment that has been here for several years especially with the Miso Soup which was practically just coloured water.

The staff were also seem very rude to customers as not once did they offer a smile and didn t seem to be interested in assisting customers with their orders and other enquiries.

You re better off eating at other Korean places as this one that you can easily skip.

Great value for around $10 a meal - no frills service - help yourself to utensils. Have been going here for 5 years - past few months quality of food has lapsed.

This place has changed. Bulgogi is stale and dry, ramen is instant noodles and the tofu is different. Never again cya later fellas

Well priced and authentic Korean food. Been here many times over the years. Enjoyed the kimchi soup this time ... Hot and spicy. 5 people cost under $80. Side dishes can vary, were basic this time. Boneless chicken was also quite tasty.

The only reason i came to the restaurant was for this one meal that they didn't have stocked. The staff were very rude. We ordered take away and they didn't pack my meal so i have nothing to eat while my family eats, and they didn't pack the soup well so it was pretty much empty by the time we good home. I do not recommend going.

Food is pretty good here, service is average but standard for this type of store. Would recommend.

I ordered bibimbub but they serve me with very old and smelly veggies in it , the whole dish was tasteless with 0 flavour and after eating that dish it s almost 2 hours my stomach is Still paining, I think l got food poisoning.
NEVER RECOMMEND To anyone

Don t get vegetarian udon here. There is not a single scrap of vegetables or tofu. At $14 for nothing but a bowl of noodles, it s a very bad deal.

Decent prices and good menu. They do a good lunch time special. Good food and quick service though you have to order and pay at the counter

Disgraceful Korean food. Sizzling plate was almost cold when served. Complete joke. Worst Korean food in Melbourne

Food is not as good as b4. Lunch box not come with the deep fire tofu.... SAD

Wow what horrible service, no hi how are you, just a sour face looking back hating you for placing your order. The food came out with no chop sticks or fork so i got up and ask the other girl where do i find some utensils, she replied "straw?" I said "no, i need chop stick to eat with, or do i use mt hands?" She just pointed at an old fridge where i discovered my long lost utencils. So if you want to feel like your the worst person in the world like you steal babies or something come on in to Bab and feel like nothing.

Opposite Holmsglen Institute. Offers genuine Korean dine in and take away.

Had excellent experience. Food was really tasty. Place was clean and staff was well trained. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try Korean style bbq food.
I am definitely coming back.

Had takeaway recently, food decent and tasty and price average, in fact spicy tofu seafood soup really good, however was disappointed they have started to charge packaging, since customers cannot dine in so they must save up from dishwashing, detergent, labor, so why ?charge for packaging, no other takeaway does!!

Came in with 2 adults and 3 kids. The waiter only provide 1 small table and refused to combine the other table into 1. He said it's rush hour could not combine the table

A great choice for quick and easy Korean in the area.

Got take away here, food was average. Used to be better.

Parking is convenient and the waiters are diligent.

Wonderful food and friendly staff. Very affordable prices

Food is very good and price is quite inexpensive. Image and venue are appalling.

The girl so rude today...washing dishes bang bang bang like unpleasant to work. I know its hot day but no need show it off...

Nice food, sometimes the restaurant is too busy so the staff is a bit rude

6 years of 5 star food has been downgraded by the new owners to 3 star food. Plenty of choices nearby so I guess it is time to try the competition.

Used to be a very good place, but I guess management has changed and now it's just awful and overpriced for current quality

Terrible food! Will never go here again.
Friendly staff though.

Recently renovated. Have been coming here for years for the cheap tasty food. Maybe a change in ownership but the food tastes the same. Efficient service and simple delicious food. Wide menu range and great portion sizes.

Joint has been renovated, but service and taste certainly is getting worse. And price has gone up

Eating here since last 10 years atleast once every month . Never disappointed with the food.

Avoid this place. Food un-fresh. Chef has no cooking skill. We had a extremely dry un-fresh overcooked beef galbi and their chicken carage is overfried, hard like a rock. VERY Disappointed!

They were good few years before but NOT ANYMORE.

I got the ramen and it tasted like something I could've made from home

Im sorry that people have gad unpleasant experiences but every time I go there the service is amazing the staff are so nice and the food is so good and its one of the only restaurants that i can go to eat at more then twice and not get over it.

They took ages to prepare the food. We came here for takeaway and they failed to inform us that they ran out of rice. The staff were not friendly at all. Very dissatisfied with the service

If you're looking for fast, cheap korean food, with good portion then I would definitely recommend this place. The service is quick, the food comes out fast. Although I think their exhaust is not working properly because my clothes and hair always smell after having a meal there. We love their spicy chicken karaage and the tofu.

Lazy cooking! Was looking forward to a BBQ LA galbi. What I got was stewed ribs on a hot skillet that didn't char anything. The bones all fallen off the meat which is not right. Plus, portion was small for the price.
Use to be a great place but sadly has changed for the worse. Not coming back unless they change management and get a better chef who doesn't screw up Korean food like this.

Tasty, reliable, inexpensive, always full of Korean students.

Quick service. Each combo includes a variety of sides (e.g., fried tofu, miso soup, salad, potato croquettes). Lacking in ambience, but the staff are competent and friendly. Free tea.

Avoid this restaurant if u don't want to get sick like me . I ordered a Terriyaki chicken Set for take away today . And the chicken is smelled a bit funny but I sort of thought that it might be the Terriyaki sauce but then its actually the chicken is off . Now my stomach upset . I can't be bother to go back and complain to them because I didn't actually take the receipt . Plus they only take cash only so there's no proof . Really upsetting here ....
