Really popular restaurant in downtown, we sat at the bar in the back because the main dining area was filled up. We ordered the bulgogi bbq beef ribeye and the Korean fried chicken. You get two small sides with each entree. For the chicken, you can pick a dipping sauce, just one though, any extra sauce is an additional charge. We got the gochujang aioli. Overall we thought both dishes were just okay, nothing special, the bulgogi being slightly better. I think we made the wrong choice with the aioli sauce which was a bummer, we wish we got the soy garlic sauce or something similar. Decent value for what you get but we just felt the meal was okay.
For brunch, we first tried Bae Bae's Cafe down the street, but they directed us to the Kitchen since there were more food options. I got the dumplings and seaweed salad with a couple sauces and everything was savory, well-seasoned, and tasty! I ended up bringing back the mango passion fruit juice from the Cafe since they had more NA drink options- most of the Kitchen's drinks are boozy. The juice was fantastic! The servers were friendly and quick to advise on the menu. It was very empty and chilly. They had some fun Halloween decor. All ordering is online- you can keep a tab open and close it anytime.
We visited this cute little Korean place on our last visit to Pittsburgh downtown. My actual rating is 4.5/5 but I really liked the ambiance and the great service there. Bae Bae Bae's cafe was right before the kitchen, and we initially entered there. They both are owned by the same company but their menus are different. Be sure to check which one you want to visit beforehand. Here is the summary of our visit: 1) Ambiance 5/5: It has a cute cafe vibe with chic and delightful decor. Additionally, it also has cute flowery seating outside which would be great for an evening date or friends get together. The place has seating in front of the service desk or you can choose to go inside where they also have a bar and seating area. Also, they have QR codes for their menu 2) Service 6/5: This is where I would like to highlight Taylor Ann G's service. She was of amazing help to us. She helped us with all the suggestions and side options. I am allergic to fish and so was she. So she helped me choose a great spicy dish with great side options which I loved. I also do not eat beef. She let us know that chicken might be made on the same grill and helped us with informing the chef to make it separately in a pan. The service was quick too and we received our order within 10 minutes. One additional thing for people to know is that they add a service fee for takeout orders which was promptly informed to us by Taylor and she said we don't have to tip since that takes care of it. 3) Food 4/5: This is what was a hit and a miss for us. We had to catch a flight and we took a take away so we are giving it the benefit of the doubt but here is the summary of what we ordered: a) Yum Yum chicken: This was what my wife ordered and I tried it at the airport. The chicken was chewy and not good at all. It felt like frozen chicken which was baked in an oven and tossed in a sauce. The purple rice was good though. The portion was good too. b) Spicy Fire chicken: I really loved it. This was like a bento box with chicken. purple rice with sesame seeds, tender green salad, and some radish side (which was amazing, and took it based on Taylor's suggestion). The portion was good for one. The dish was not really spicy and tasted more like buffalo sauce chicken. 4) Value for money 4/5: It was not the cheapest place and it would have been value for money if we ate it there since the place looks great. The price is good for the portion but it would be great if it was a tad less. Overall, I am definitely going to visit this place when I am in town for the ambiance, service, and proximity to downtown and so much of Pittsburgh's history. The great: 1) Taylor's friendliness and service 2) Spicy fire chicken 3) Ambiance Not so good: 1) Yum Yum chicken
I'm surprised I've never written a review yet for Bae Bae's because it's one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Casual and cute Korean eatery serving the best Korean Fried Chicken in Pittsburgh (really!!). I always bring friends and family from out of town whenever we need a downtown spot for a quick bite. My usual orders (highly recommend) is the build your own Korean Fried Chicken with the kimchi and seaweed salad (unfortunately, they were out of kimchi tonight), sweet potato fries with spicy mayo, Japchae, and of course a Thai ice tea. Service is always wonderful, although it seems like they're moving more towards an online dining experience with no server and just ordering through a QR code. I prefer being able to converse with servers instead, but tonight's service with our hostess and cooks was no different than in the past. Highly recommend checking out their drink specials and coming in to try soju cocktails which not many bars have! Love the plant decorations and it makes the space feel so lonely. If you're wondering why Bae Bae's has won so many awards, you should 100% come visit for yourself!
I love everything about Bae Bae's! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is always friendly.. oh and the food is uhhhhhh amazing!
A fun place to eat because of the creative menu and wonderful service. The Kimchi is notably good, with lots of flavor and texture. The wait time was 30 minutes, but let us take seats at the bar. The music didn't make sense to me, it was pop music (for example, Katy Perry).
I LOVEDDD Bae Baes omg. I've been meaning to go here for so long and I wish I went sooner. The service was so good, our food came really quick, and I loved the intimate vibe of the inside. Their drink selection was amazing - I was surprised how many drinks they had! I got the shrimp tempura, which was actually the best i've ever had - especially with the plum sauce omg. Also the kimchi was amaaaazing i'm literally craving it even though I just had it lol. I am so excited to go back here ASAP.
This is where I'd recommend people if they are looking for casual Korean based Asian fusion food. Location is downtown and the restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside. The dine in experience is nice and cute, but easy take out since they already come in takeout boxes. The service is here is super friendly as well. I really enjoy their food because it is good cooking, a variety of dishes, and the portions are huge. It's pretty cheap considering how much food they give you. Big fan of their bulgogi since it's expensive at most places now. Their glass noodles is also a good pick. I like their milk tea but I vaguely remember thinking the boba wasn't chewy enough, not sure if they've changed it since then or if that was just a bad batch.
We first went to their coffee shop 4 doors down. You need to go there and bring your coffee back if you would like some. The food was good, except rice was cold, and pricey ($17/lunch). Very cold with ceiling fans blowing and unable to change. Other customers left due to the cold. We enjoyed it, but there are better places, including their coffee shop!
Staff is friendly and service was fairly quick. They gave me an extra drink for free because they didn't meet the time specified on the order. Ube cheesecake was flavorful and the Korean cuisine here is a big pull for the big anime convention nearby. The menu looked somewhat Americanized and a bit pricy but they seem to understand their customer base and work with in real time situations well!
Came here on a Friday night. You have to scan a QR code to get the menu and order online. I got a taro milk tea with rainbow bubbles ($7). It had the right amount of sweetness! For the meal I had the Korean Fried Chicken ($18), Spicy Fire Chicken($18), Beef Bulgogi ($18) and Bae Bae Wings($15). The Korean Fried chicken was crispy and moist. The honey sauce was very sweet but mixed well with it. The Bae Bae wings with garlic soy was also crispy moist and flavorful. However the beef bulgogi and spicy chicken were disappointing. Both were quite oily and the flavor was a bit of a letdown. The kimchi were spicy and sour which I absolutely loved. Service was about average. They have a pre included 18% tip added to the bill. Overall some of the food was great (any of the fried chicken), the others not as amazing. Not sure if I would come back again because of the difficulty to park and the food not being worth going out the way for. Food(50%): 6.5 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.5/10
The cutest little place! The food was amazing, and so was the service. Highly recommend the shrimp tempura and the dumplings, although I don't think you could go wrong with anything!
Phenomenal! The aesthetic is everything, but really it was the bar tender who brought the experience to the top. He was super attentive, knowledgeable, and down to earth. He made sure we were taking care of the whole time! The food was exceptional!! The spicy sesame sauce is a must try. Will definitely visit again when in Pittsburgh.
It's #ThankYouThursday2021 on Yelp, and I got to thinking, which local businesses bring me joy? Bae Bae's was the first that sprung to mind, so time to update my previous review. We order the entrees here, usually with their delicious glass noodles, one of us with their incredible tofu in plum sauce and the other their rightfully famous KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). These also come with some salad and a side. You will likely have enough food for another full meal. Also don't miss their bubble tea (I get it with the Bae Bae's mix milk) which is my favorite in the city. You can order online and pop in the door and they will have it ready to hand to you -- there is a parking spot right in front that, if you luck into it being open, makes pickup a breeze. I believe you can now eat indoors here as well again, ordering at the register in a fast-casual setup, and their interior is among the most charmingly decorated spots you're finding the city. It's a little oasis of Zen and happiness in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh. The outdoor seating they have added out front is absolutely adorable as well, when the weather is suitable. This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant run by the nicest people. You won't regret stopping here, and you'll quickly find out why they consistently rate among the best spots in not just Pittsburgh but the nation. read more
Had the pleasure of dining at Bae Bae's for dinner during my recent trip to Pittsburgh! Suggested this place to my friend as she is vegetarian and Bae Bae's was on a list of must-try vegetarian-friendly eats in the area. She happily obliged and we are both so glad we went! The space is on the smaller side but we were able to be seated right away. The service was very attentive, which I always appreciate. I opted for a build your own meal with the spicy chicken thighs. They were out of kimchi when I stopped in, which I found a little odd since kimchi is such a staple in Korean cuisine, but opted for the pickled daikon as a side instead. My dinner was absolutely delicious. The chicken was as spicy as described and the pickled daikon had such a nice flavor. We ended the meal by sharing their panna cotta dessert (the flavor the night we went was taro), and I'm so glad we got it. Such a sweet note to end on! If you're in the area for a game or a show -- I highly recommend stopping into Bae Bae's for a meal beforehand. I'll be dreaming of the panna cotta all the way from Buffalo! read more

I have been a fan of Bae Baes since 2019. quality has gone down so bad. Prices have sky rocketed and quality has just plummeted. No Thai tea, no viet ice coffee, No more glass noodles, and most disappointingly, NO KIMCHI?!how do you claim to be a Korean food spot with no kimchi? Just insane why would you guys take it off your menu. So sad and disappointing as well as getting burnt chicken cooked in old grease. My sides were replaced with underwhelming tasteless fries. The waiter seemed to be struggling really badly too feel so bad for him read more
I wanted to updated my review just to iterate how amazing Bae bae's still is. During the majority of the pandemic I worked from home but now that we're reporting back to the office downtown, one of the perks is being closer to Bae Bae's kitchen! I ordered online and picked up on my way home - it was super easy. The staff is honestly so friendly and kind. Just in my short interaction they made me feel so happy warm. I can not recommend this place enough. Even if you're not central to downtown this food and customer service is definitely worth the trip! read more

Popular lunch spot featuring fresh Korean fare. I opted for their special of the day, panko breaded fish seasoned with togarashi and served with rice, salad, side of your choice (I picked seaweed salad), and a mayo-based dipping sauce. The food was well-executed and tasty. That said, nothing stood out as amazing either. Other details: unobtrusive service, mid-priced, smaller dining area, open kitchen. read more
I have been waiting to try out Bae Bae's since before the pandemic and I finally made it. We ordered the Korean chicken with plum sauce and it was delicious. The meal came with rice, mixed greens (aka a small salad) and a side of your choice. Everything was good even the dessert! I would recommend as it had a good ambiance and beautiful backdrops in the building. Be mindful there is a Bae Bae's Kitchen and a Bae Bae's Cafe, they are doors apart from each other but not the same. read more

After waiting a half hour to order at the crowded Condado Tacos (and the food looking like fast food), we decided not to eat there and came over to this spot around the corner. Instantly, it was a great choice. It's civilized, relaxing, kind, and delicious! Loved the fried chicken and the amazing wasabi-honey sauce that comes with it. The bulgogi bimbimbap is also great. Their taro bubble tea was too sweet but still, surprisingly tasty. An easy, reliable, yummy spot downtown. read more
Came here on a Friday night for dinner and while there were a decent amount of diners there were also plenty of tables for walk ins! Got the chicken katsu with garlic soy sauce - the chicken was well cooked and super super crispy! The sauce came on the side, which I'm sure some people prefer but I found myself wanting the chicken to be coated. Otherwise it felt like you were just eating a panko chicken tender (still good but a different vibe). I love how you get to choose your sides here. Next time I'll be trying their yum yum chicken! read more
What a little gem in the cultural district! I stopped in for a beverage and stayed to do a little reading. Luckily it wasn't crowded so I was able to mostly sit by myself in the adorable little rocking chair area that they have. The fruit lemonade was tasty - and a great recommendation after I had been looking for bubble tea but something not too sweet. This was perfect. Beyond the tasty drink, the staff was amazing. Super friendly and accommodating. Each person working provided a friendly interaction and it made my time there enjoyable. Thanks, Bae Bae's Kitchen! read more

Awesome experience! We had beef bulgogi again, mixed vegetable tempura, garlic cheese wontons, pork dumpling read more
I've been meaning to go to this place for a while and wish I went earlier! The wait wasn't too bad and the service was great. The space is small but can accommodate a larger group of 6, if needed. They have a lot of gluten free and dairy free options if needed as well. The Thai iced tea with whipped cream was delicious and the Korean fried chicken was amazing! It's worth ordering. read more

Ever since our Yelp Elite Event here, I have been meaning to come back. My mom and I had a show to see at Heinz Hall, so this was the restaurant we decided on. My mom was very excited and everything lived up to her expectations. We were seated right off the bat, even with this restaurant only having a handful of tables. Our waiter was over quickly with water and to answer any questions about the menu. We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken, Sweet Potato Fries, and Steamed Pork Dumplings. The chicken was very juicy and tender. The rice was amazing!! I have never tasted rice like it before. The sweet potato fries were not my favorite. I believe they had some type of breading on the outside which I did not enjoy all that much. On the total other hand, I think the steamed pork dumplings were the best I have ever had. The outside had a little bite and the whole dumpling was warm and ready to eat. The sauce that came with them just simply enhanced the flavor. The restaurant is clean and the music was a great touch. The employees seemed to get along very well, which made the vibes that much more positive. Overall, I will be back with even more people! read more
Stopped here for lunch due to the fact it was close to the convention center and the booth next to us had eaten it the day before and recommended it. I walked over for takeout on a Sunday where there was a large line inside. After waiting, I ordered the noodles/bulgogi/kimchi combo and a taro milk tea. Problem was they were out of boba to go into the tea. Also ordered wontons as a shareable between Vog and I. They also were out of a lot of items - wings, dumplings, etc that made ordering very limited. Would have liked to try some of those items. The wait to order was longer than getting the food - and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. As far as the food - the bulgogi was really tender and perfectly seasoned - a lot of flavor in that item and if I could I would have asked them to load me up heavy on that. The noodles were good - kimchi was standard issue, and the wontons were spicy and the filling was tasty. I would recommend coming here - tight seating if you plan to dine in, but they also have outdoor street seating. read more

Goodness gracious this place was magnificent!!! The atmosphere, the employees and holy cow the FOOD! This was our first time to Bae Bae's, and it most certainly didn't disappoint! Not only was it all delicious, but there were multiple healthy and gluten free options. We ordered the purple rice (large bowl for sharing), Bulgogi Beef with Jap Chae Noodles and a side of spicy crab salad, Spicy fire Chicken with Jap Chae Noodles and radish kimchi. The entire meal was filled with amazing umami , we could barley stop eating....check this adorable space iut next time you visit! read more

Lovely store. All decorated for the holiday. Atmosphere was very cozy. It looks small when you walk in but there is a whole bar section in the back and extra seating. Wish they had some booths or a bench seat for families tho. Service was great. Our waitress Taylor was very sweet. She checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. Very knowledgeable about the menu. I was torn between sweet or savory soy garlic sauce and went with her recommendation. Good choice. Food: The Korean fried chicken with the savory soy sauce was very delicious. When I saw it was chicken breast I was afraid i wasn't gonna like it, but it was surprisingly good. Crunchy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. We got the sauce on the side because my son doesn't like sauce, but he loved it as well. We had to ask for another side. They didn't have white rice, so we got the purple rice. I know it's typically more hard, which I didn't like, but I took off 1/2 a star because the rice wasn't hot. Not cold either, more like room temp. Didn't like that. Bib bim bap was ok. Same rice problem. Wild have been better of the rice was hot or the stone pot was hot. Wasn't a fan of the beef either. Chicken was way better. The bulgogi wontons were good but there wasn't much filling. And $9 for 4 pieces is very pricey. Minus 1/2 a star. Overall rating: 4 stars. Give it a try. I would come back here just for my kid since he loved the crispy chicken and savory soy sauce. read more

The food was incredible. I ordered the fried chicken for my main and it had a great crispy fry while being incredibly juicy inside. The cheesecake was a delicious dessert. I'd highly recommend. read more
1st time here and will be back to try some more items. Everything was overall very quality and staff super welcoming. The happy hour food special teaser on the site inspired me to try but wasn't overly amazing value to warrant a special trip at rush hour just for that. Spicy fire chicken, jap chae noodles and Napa kimchi with side of garlic cheese won tons. All very quality. Price point for size was meh compared to say yuzu kitchen a few spots down which was slightly more filling for same price. read more

Bae Bae's Kitchen is delicious. The menu was a little confusing for my group but the waiter was helpful explaining each item and answering any questions. I ended up ordering the BimBimBap with beef, this is a great choice for someone who is new to Korea food or is unsure what to order. This came in a bowl with an assortment of sides, an egg, and rice. It was a good amount of food, I did not finish the whole bowl. My boyfriend got the KFC plate, his was also delicious. His was also a good amount of food and came with a side of his choice and rice or noodles. The chicken was crispy with good flavor and came with a sauce to dip. He picked the plum sauce and it was amazing. We will definitely be coming back. My party was a group of 8, so we had to wait about 10 mins but that was expected with a group that large. There is not a ton of seating inside so I would recommend calling ahead to see how long the wait time is. There also is not a lot of standing room inside so you may need to stand outside if they're busy. The service was also great, our waiter was super attentive and helpful. He was great and made the experience even better. If you're craving Korea food or want to try something different come here! read more
Bae Bae's Kitchen is bae. If you are looking for the crispiest Korean chicken in the area, look no further. You have stumbled upon the most scrumptious, finger-licking, delectable chicken downtown. When I took that first bite and heard the crunch, I knew I was going to be obsessed. The Thai ice teas were delicious and refreshing, I had to order another one to-go. The ambiance and atmosphere are absolutely lovely. The place is decorated super nicely and it is perfect for some cute aesthetic pictures. Great food AND cute pics?? are you kidding me?? Bae Bae's Kitchen will be seeing me often. Overall, vibes 10/10, food 10/10, drinks 10/10, customer service 10/10. JUST GO! read more

Ordered take out/delivery from Bae Bae's. I don't feel like you can make a judgement on the delivery service when they use a third party delivery company. The food was on point though. The chicken was moist but perfectly crunchy. I loved the noodles and both kimchis. The salad was sub par but I was told by a co worker who frequents Bae Bae's that this was not their usual salad. It was basically just shredded cabbage and carrots. He raved over the salad while we were ordering so I trust that this wasn't normal. The honey wasabi was wow! I absolutely loved it and was probably my favorite part of this whole dish. Order extra!! It's worth it. Will be returning! read more
So good it was worth driving downtown on a Saturday night during Covid to get takeout! The cafe doesn't look like much from the outside and you almost miss it among the many storefronts on Liberty Ave, but it is well worth a stop inside. The dinner plates come with one meat, one starch, one side veggie, and a bunch of cole slaw. The combos are huge and they are well-suited for takeout and transport. I got fried chicken with rice and seaweed salad. The chicken came in two large crispy slabs with a zesty honey mustard sauce (whew!). The rice was plain with multi-grains and the salad was small but tasty. My wife got bulgogi beef with noodles and pickled cucumbers. The beef was great and the whole dish also came mixed in with roasted veggies. The pickles had a great crunch. We also shared a deep fried pickle appetizer (this might have been a special for Picklesburgh week). To die for! So crispy and yummy with a savory dipping sauce. Get yourself downtown and try some Bae Bae's! read more

Bae Bae's has been a favorite for years and today was our first time back since the addition of the bar and what an awesome date night! The food is beyond good but the service was a real treat. We can't wait to go back and try something new! read more
I have been in search of excellent Korean fried chicken, and Bae Bae's did not let me down! Truly, while their menu is on the smaller side, everything looked absolutely delicious. We ordered the bulgogi plate with salad as our base, to balance out the sweet potato fries and the Korean fried chicken we ordered. - sweet potato fries: The breading on this is absolutely delicious! The texture of this is so crunchy on the outside, while still being tender on the inside. The spicy mayo complements it so well, but this is yummy enough to eat on its own - Korean fried chicken (soy garlic): soy garlic is my go to flavor for Korean fried chicken, as I feel like you can't go wrong with it. The chicken was so tender and juicy, but the outside was so crisp without being tough. I love the touch of the green onions and sesame, which helped to keep it a little bit more fresh. The sizes of the chicken are a little bit on the smaller side, but still worth it in my opinion. - bulgogi bowl: very solid bulgogi. It was on the sweeter side of what I'm used to, but it was still very delicious. Part of me wishes I got the japchae or the rice, but I think the salad was a good call given the fried food. I do think only having one side seems a bit sparse for traditional Korean food, as opposed to a spread with multiple banchan. I absolutely loved everything we ordered. This was enough food for two hungry people: we cleared the plates out. I do feel like the prices are a little bit on the high side for the portions, but overall was very pleased with my experience. Would definitely recommend!! read more
Bae Bae's Kitchen - not to be confused with their nearby sister Bae Bae's Café - offers a simple menu of bibimbap, BYO boxes, select extras, and bubble tea. Prices are not listed but can be checked online on the ordering site. Boxes are customizable with a choice of base, protein, and single side dish. The standard bibimbaps comes with all the daily side dishes, which I found out afterwards from my tablemates. I got to try all the sides and found all to be good with the Cucumber Kimchi as my favorite. ----- Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) Box: overnight brined chicken breast breaded in panko and double fried, Maldon sea salt and served with choice of sauce ($16). I picked the Steamed Mixed Grain Rice base, Napa Cabbage Kimchi side dish, and Spicy Sesame sauce. The box came with two crispy, juicy fried chicken breasts that paired nicely with the heat from the spicy sesame sauce. Both the rice and salad were fresh. ----- Sweet Potato Fries: hand breaded and cut sweet potatoes, Maldon sea salt and spicy mayo ($8). The fries were interestingly breaded, adding to its crispiness and flavor. It was not oily and perfect to dip in the spicy mayo. ----- There is a small outdoor seating section and a couple of extra indoor tables in the back. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon with about a twenty minute wait time for the food. Orders are placed at the front where you receive a table number. All orders are served in take-out form. read more

Stopped by on a Thursday night around 6:30. We easily got a table and the food was ready in under 10 minutes. I thought they had their liquor license but it's still pending so BYOB if you want any alcohol with dinner. We ordered 2 BYO with japchae noodles: Korean fried chicken and the bulgogi beef. Both were delicious. They were fresh and hot with the perfect amount of flavor. There are several sauces to choose from. You only received 1 with your KFC meal but could buy additional ones for .75/each. The maple gochujang was our favorite. We will definitely be back to try the yum yum chicken and dumplings! read more

Bae Bae's Kitchen, Pittsburgh Korean Restaurant. The food was excellent for 10:00 dinner. Restaurant is very festive for the holiday season. The staff were very nice. We ordered the Bae Bae Chicken in Maple Gochujang (A sweet sauce), Steam Chicken Dumpling, Jap Chae (Glass Noodles), Soy Garlic Tofu Stir fry and BBQ Bulgogi Beef. (see pics) Thanks for being open late!!! read more
I came here with my friend and we had a really good experience! The restaurant has cute decor and it's open seating once you order. We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Wings with the soy garlic sauce and the Spicy Chicken with noodles and a side of radish kimchi and everything was delicious! The wings were so fresh and crunchy and the noodles and spicy chicken were perfectly cooked. Everything came out promptly and we were able to ask for some extra sauce for the wings! Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back! read more
I finally made it to Bae Bae's kitchen! I love the idea of Korean fast food. It's yummy and healthy. First of all, the decor is so cute! They have a cactus that's like 7 feet tall! My friend and I came Friday night around 7:30pm, and there were plenty of tables. We stayed till well past their closing time, but they didn't kick us out. The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved my bulgogi and bean sprouts. The taro milk tea was meh. The powder just wasn't mixed well and I could feel the granular texture. The tapioca was good though. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try. I'll definitely be back for more. read more
I was in town for a conference and arrived right around peak time for lunch. Grabbed a table once it became available. It's a build your bowl kind of situation and you get to pick carb+protein+sides or a special that has fixed choices. I originally wanted to get the rice but changed to stir-fried glass noodles because it looked good when in line for ordering. So glass noodles + fried chicken (breast) + one banchan was my order. My friend got bulgogi and the rest was the same. The glass noodles could use a bit more salt when eaten on its own but it was not bland. There's salad that came with the carb but the salad leaves (kinda like spring mix) were not dressed. The fried chicken came in two big pieces, breaded and fried just right. It was not dry and well-seasoned. I picked spicy mayo as the dipping sauce and it was alright. The radish banchan was on the sweet side and tasted bright and crunchy. I also tried the bulgogi - tender and flavorful. The bathroom was nice and clean. read more
Great food, service and ambiance. I really enjoyed my spicy chicken and japchae noodles. We also got the yum yum tofu which was crispy and nice - I thought it could have either had some seasoning or maybe a bit more sauce. We also got the beef bulgogi bbq - I thought that was ok. The chicken was much better! It's a cute space with good Korean food read more
This place always fix my cravings for Korean food! Generous portions and great flavors! Their bulgogi is cooked to perfection and I love how they serve purple rice with it! I would not skip and order of their sweet potato fries with spicy mayo. I've yet to find a better place for sweet potato fries than here. read more
I will always be a sucker for Bae Bae's food and atmosphere. I love how cozy and eclectic the decor is, and the staff is always warm and inviting. Our group ate here this month and they were not only accommodating, but services was quick and efficient. The Korean Fried Chicken is always on point! read more
I haven't been to Bae Bae's since probably pre-pandemic, but I had myself a low-key Friday at the downtown gallery crawl and decided to stop in for some Korean fare. I asked the host if a take out order could be accommodated, and he immediately took care by asking a waitress to place my order directly. I misunderstood and ordered online while I was briefly waiting, but I really appreciated the effort to save me the 15% service on online orders. The waitress offered me a water while I waited and the host personally saw that my order was fulfilled. I would love to return to have a sit down meal and cocktail sometime. The main dining area is cozy and inviting, opened to the aromas of the kitchen. There's also small bar area toward the back. As for my meal, I ordered the Tofu Stir Fry with my choice of seaweed salad and soy garlic. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend Bae Bae's! read more

Is the kimchi vegetarian or vegan? Is the dukbokki made with anchovies stock?
Bae bae’s cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi are vegan, gluten free! We do not have any dukbokki menu
Do they have gluten free options?
Yes!! Just let them know you're gluten free before ordering and they are VERY accommodating!!
It says Korean Fried Chicken, but I wanted to ask if this is more of a Katsu-like fried chicken, or like a Bon Chon-like fried chicken?
