B-Bim-Baab Restaurant - Edmonton

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend. Read a lot of reviews and the general feel was "good food, bad service." No problem, we are both familiar with Korean food and not fussy about service. Place looked busy as expected of 7pm on a Saturday night. We walked in the door and there is a sign that says "Please wait to be seated," peeked inside and the place was pretty much full with a couple of small tables free, sure, we'll wait. Well we waited for close to half an hour, no one came to greet us, no one even came near the door. We stood there for so long that people eating there started to give us funny looks. Waiters and waitresses just gave passive glances at us and had no reactions of us trying to catch their attention. We ended up leaving and going to another place. This kind of ignorance is outrageous. I wasn't expecting a great service but at least someone to come and say "hello, we are busy, it should be about [insert time frame] wait." The general feeling we got was that we were clearly not wanted there. I can't speak about the food, judging by the many reviews I'm sure it is great. I won't be going back there but if you are and if you are reading this review, don't go on a busy night because your presence is clearly not welcomed.

As we wanted to try a Korean dish I had heard about we decided to try this restaurant and I ordered the bee bim bap. It is a cast iron pot with rice in the bottom and vegetables and meat on top and lastly a fried egg. The pot is very hot and the server adds hot sauce and mixes everything up. Really delicious. The pot makes the rice on the bottom crispy.My husband had very tasty beef ribs.Good value and good service. We will return on a future date to enjoy this again.

While visiting dear friends in Beaumont, we decided to try one of their favourite Edmonton restaurants, B-Bim-Baab. Cheryl has never had Korean food and myself only once at this very place. I recalled it being excellent food and was glad to return. As usual the food was incredible with just the right amount of spicy flavour. I was particularly impressed with the all you can eat kim chee which is provided with the meal. We had four dishes and who would have thought you could make noodles out of potatoes! The waitress was extremely pleasant and helpful in making suggestions for we non-Koreans. The Korean beer, CASS was like lite beer. Cheryl stated how much she loved the food. We highly recommend B-Bim-Baab and it is a must visit when you are in Edmonton. Do not be intimidated by its location in an industrial park -- well worth the trip and lots of free parking. Larry

Met for a business lunch. The place is quick with the Buffett. Very good tasty items on the Buffett 3 kinds of soups, kimchee, coconut curry, and wonton. Fried bulgogis. Deep fried wonton, sesame sprouts, etc all very good. I would recommend this to anyone for lunch, great tasty food.

I have come here several times in the past for the lunch buffet and always satisfied, that is until today. nov. 25, 2016I like to get in before noon (11.40am) and the lunch rush
