    Food was very good but the waiting time of over 30 minutes wasn't great when you're in a rush. Hopefully as the city returns to normal so can the service and they can keep up with the lunch rush. These smaller restaurants make working in the city great but they need to be able to keep up.

    The best Korean fried chicken in London. They also serve one of the best Korean dishes in town. The price is quite reasonable as well.

    Very disappointing. I was really craving chicken and beers like you get in South Korea but this place doesn’t even offer beers. The chicken was good, but not the crispiest you can get in London. Staff is correct, not friendly but not unwelcoming either.

    Very expensive for what you get. The food is not bad, although not my favourite, a korean friend was happy he admitted is almost like home made.

    Chicken bibimbap was delicious. Big portions, on the pricier side.

  • 5/5 Octavia M. 5 months ago on Google
    My friend and I both had the lunch deal which included the korean fried chicken, rice, salad and dumplings. It was SO GOOD and very fresh - the staff are also very friendly and the service was quick! We are still dreaming about this meal months later!!!

    Great lunch experience. Short but efficient menu offers for takeaway (only a few tables inside). Delicious kimchi fried rice and fried chicken. Menu available with salad / gyozas. Great lunch option near Blackfriars!

    Good food, very nice quiet atmosphere even though I expected there to be more people. Nothing too exceptional,but the pricing is decent and I enjoyed my meal

    Really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered the Beef Bibimbab and Fried Chicken Rice. Delicious taste and great value for money. The cashier/cook was also very friendly and always had a smile on his face. We will definitely be back. 🫶

    On the Bab is my to-go-to for lunch when I am required to be at our office in the City. The service is fast. Delish dishes and very filling! I love their fried chicken, kimchi rice, and their bibimbap. Perfect to satisfy simple Korean meal cravings!

    I found the food very disappointing - I had beef bab (very average at best) and chicken dumplings (decent).

    Korean Street food. Delightful hole-in-the-wall. Recommend getting the the spicy chicken lunch special.

    I was passing by on a Friday afternoon and discovered this little Korean takeaway restaurant. The guy from the counter has given me sometime to dine-in though the store was nearly closing time. Food was tasty, has the right amount of spice. Small space but clean, outside sitting available.

    Absolutely love on the bab, especially as this location has their incredible Mushroom Fritter Bun! Small location but the delicious food makes up for it.

    Yummy lunch, you won't disappointed 😋

  • 5/5 JC G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Korean takeaway. Go there quite often as i am working in the area. The lunch formula is a good bargain. One of the rare businesses still opened after 2 pm, so this is a good option if you need to have a late lunch.

  • 5/5 Aggelos Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Bao Buns with Fried chicken, recommended!

  • 5/5 lea h. 1 year ago on Google
    I would say pretty good amount and good taste for the bibimbaps, never tried anything else. The speed is always good & the seasoning always on point

    Tucked away in the streets near St Pauls is OTB. Clean and well organised restaurant with a small eat in area and some benches outsite to wait for your takeaway to be ready. Service is pretty fast and nice. Food wise i would give it a 3/5 , quite tasty , however : 1> Quality varies quite a bit Some days the fried chicken is great, its hot n crispy other days its a bit luke warm and soft, some days the chicken is well sauced, some days its dry. 2> Protein portions are quite small the bibimap with fried chicken only had 3 small bite sized pieces of chicken on a bed of plain rice and assorted fresh raw veggies like beansprouts.. 3> food is quite pricey a bibimap with fried chicken , was around 12-13 quids for 3 small bits of chicken , plain rice and raw veggies , thats not great value, especially considering the varying quality and what other places are offering within the same price range

    Food is very nice just a bit expensive. They have a lunch special which is slightly cheaper than a regular main. Had the spicy chicken rice and it's 🤤😩💯. Seating-wise there's a small space indoor and outdoor, or you can always takeaway to St. Paul's garden.

  • 4/5 Tash S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little family run Korean shop that seems to specialise in quick lunches. The lunch deal was reasonable at £11.50 for rice, salad and your choice of main + 3 dumplings. I had the spicy pork and the fried chicken. The pork was a generous serve. It was thinly sliced and well flavoured, but I felt it had a bit too much fat. The fried chicken was just ok -the chicken wasn't as crunchy as it could have been, and the chicken wasn't properly tossed in the sauce. I think the real standout at this place is the kim chi. I did think there was a lot of plastic packaging used, which I found a bit off-putting.

    Awesome Korean place. OTB spice pork was 1 of my many favourites.. Long queues though so expect to wait a bit. Just shows how good this place is!

  • 5/5 Sotir K. 5 years ago on Google
    Best Asian meal around the block! Look at the pic couldn’t even take a photo without taking a bite! Personal favourite is spicy chicken!

  • 4/5 Arif S. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered a mushroom Bai for lunch £9.50 for 2. The buns were a generous size and very filling. The mushroom fritters were crispy and hot, very nice indeed

  • 5/5 Abhi D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Korean Fried Chicken and Dumplings - pricing is steep for lunch but still great food.

  • 5/5 Maria Parisio P. 2 years ago on Google
    I love Corean food. It is a little bit more expensive than the average but the plates are big. During lunch there is a promotion of 11.5£ for 1 main

  • 5/5 M Y. 5 years ago on Google
    I had the OTB box with spicy pork. It is a bit pricy but gives you a variety of flavors. Definitely more authentic than other Korean places and the food generally tastes amazing. But given the price of the OTB box I guess the portion of the pork could be a bit more.
