Bab Bab Korean Restaurant in Sutton

I dined at this restaurant in November last year. The experience was quite good and I took a photo, so I always remember the taste. I didn’t have time to write a review until today. At that time, I ordered Tom Yum Shrimp Soup and Hainanese Chicken Rice. Both dishes tasted quite good and left a deep impression. The Tom Yum soup base is moderately hot and sour, with a strong Thai flavor. The shrimp meat is fresh and chewy. When paired with the rice noodles, it has a smooth texture. The overall taste is quite harmonious. The chicken in Hainan Chicken Rice is tender and juicy, the rice absorbs the aroma of chicken oil, and paired with the special sauce, it is full of flavor. In addition, the restaurant environment is simple and clean. Although the space is not large, the overall dining experience is still comfortable. I had a pretty good impression of this restaurant at the time. However, when I visited again last month, the overall standard seemed to have dropped, and I'm not sure whether it was due to a change of chef or other factors that affected the quality. First of all, the taste of tom yum soup became a bit unbalanced, with a stronger sourness and a slightly lack of spiciness, which made people feel that it was missing a bit of layering. The texture of the fresh shrimp is also a little soft, not as fresh and chewy as last time. As for the Hainanese chicken rice, the changes are more obvious. The portion of the chicken has become smaller, the meat has become slightly dry, and it lacks the tender texture before. The rice quality is also worse. Even the seasoning is a bit strange. The sauce has a lighter taste and lacks some of the proper flavor, which is a bit disappointing. This second visit did make me a little hesitant about whether I would come again in the future. Although the environment is still clean, the change in taste inevitably makes people wonder whether there is a problem with the restaurant's quality control. If it is just an occasional mistake, maybe you can try again next time, but if the quality is unstable, it may be difficult to patronize it again. I hope the store can pay attention to the feedback from customers and maintain the quality at a stable level so that customers can continue to enjoy the food instead of being disappointed every time.

Great family run restaurant with the most delicious food and wine. The team serving us were great and met all our needs . Thank you so much for being such amazing hosts

Order not ready until 1945hrs (25 min. wait). The restaurant was busy due to Valantines night bookings but this defeats the purpose of ordering beforehand and collecting at a designated time.

Our 3rd visit and yet again we thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. One of our party is Gluten intolerant, and everything we ordered was suitable for her, and we weren’t compromised on our choices. We were blown away by the flavours and value for money. I highly recommend this restaurant it’s a delight!
