I had been wanting to visit On Bap for such a long time. The only problem is it can be a bit tricky to work out how to do that! Not only are the opening hours very irregular but the restaurant is very small with a limited number of tables meaning it can be hard to find a free place. A further complication is that the restaurant is cash only so make sure to stop by an ATM before you go. Despite all that I somehow made it and I’m so glad I did.
On Bap offers a selective menu of traditional Korean and Japanese dishes such as Bibimbap, fried chicken, ramen and stews. This is a great place to come to try authentic Korean dishes. The atmosphere is very relaxed and unassuming with basic café style interiors and is very popular with students. All the food is fresh and prepared quickly making it an ideal place to grab a casual lunch or dinner with friends.
