Kaibaibo in Liverpool

Amazing food and great service! The veggie options were delicious

The food is incredible, the people are lovely and welcoming. 10/10 recommend!

After walking past it many times, I just had a chance to dine in at KaiBaiBo. The food is unbelievably amazing, especially the Spicy Miso and the Shoryu! This place is now my favourite restaurant in Liverpool. Can’t wait to go back soon :)

Went here for a birthday meal, it was brilliant, tasty food, we shared 6 of small plates and plenty of food!

Amazing place. Went at 12.30 . Since it was opening time not much rush. I think otherwise quite busy and booking is recommended. Tasty food. Unique selection from east and sounrh east asia including beer. Mind blown by the excellent service.

Great food and good service, we all would definitely go back. Only negative is toilet need TLC

Overall it was OK but needs improvement. The service was friendly but food too a while to arrive. The high table I sat on was quite dirty and sticky but waiter still placed chopsticks and spoon directly on the table (instead of wrapped in a napkin) Fried chicken was absolutely divine. Great flavours, crispy and generous portion. The chicken ramen in miso broth. The broth was thin and lacking in flavour. The pulled chicken portion was tiny, had soggy skin and quite tough - felt like old roast chicken being recycled. The noodles itself however were cooked perfectly. The horror that is the bathroom area is shocking. Very dirty and messy. Needs some real improvement if they want repeat customers.

Best Ramen I've ever had. Get the kimchi beef Ramen!

Had a meal here last night and it was absolutely amazing. Every dish was packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. I don’t normally write reviews, but the food was so good, I just had to. Will definitely be back.

Great food, reasonably priced in a nice, chilled central location - will be back! :-)

Great meal, delicious flavours. Quite meaty. More formica tables than fine dining but fun. Lovely staff

Enjoyed all the starters which the four of us shared. And Both the Ramens we had were excellent. The Charsui pork rice didn’t get such a positive response being a bit sweet. But overall fabulous great value meal that everyone enjoyed. Would go back.

This low key and casual Korean resturant is very good. Sat at high table in stools, we enjoyed a very good meal. Small plate highlights were the pork bao bun, broccoli and peanut gochujang and the meat donut. The donut was a revelation. We then had the spicy miso ramen and KBB shin ramen, both were very good.

The food and service were top notch. You have to try the meat doughnut.

Amazing restaurant with truly fabulous food. Would highly recommend.

1st time eating here and the food was amazing. The waiter helped in choosing what to have as we wanted to order the small plates enough for 4 of us. Every dish was delicious, even ordered more. Great place!

Just off Bold Street, a peaceful and genuinely very tasty spot. I said ‘mmm!’ out loud. They’ve chosen to do a few things and do them really well.

Delicious food and great service.

Really great food, reasonably price. My first visit and I will go back.

Overpriced food, not worth the money, 15 euros for bad ramen. On the other hand waiters were very nice and hot. Didn’t enjoy anything expect looking at red head waitress.

Modern, almost Nordic decor and no loud music. 😀 Fast service and great flavors. We had two starters followed by the ramen and drank another Asahi.

We ordered a few small dishes to share between 2, we were nicely filled after ordering 5 dishes. The meat doughnut was our favourite, it sounds strange but tasted really good! I really liked the korean chicken with mayo, whilst my partner loved the peanut gojuchang sauce on the tenderstem broccoli. We also tried the tofu bao bun and liked it. I would avoid the bulgogi skewers as they were very chewy, but this also has the peanut gochujang sauce on it. Service was good, we were served water to share without having to ask, and we could pay at the till once done, so no waiting around asking for the bill. It's nice to have a lovely Korean restaurant in Liverpool - it would be great to see a bigger menu as time goes on, but I would love to come back and try the spicy rice cakes next time!

My current favourite place to eat. I recommend the fried chicken.

Very nice vegetarian Ramin! Would love to have a halal option for meat & chicken

Amazing food, 100% recommend! You can tell the dishes are made with great ingredients and are fresh. Service was great and a lovely atmosphere

Absolutely amazing food! Great service and an all round fabulous experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, in particular the meat donuts and lovely service, and very reasonably priced. A really good Saturday evening - would recommend!

Comida en general genial, la rosquilla de carne era muy interesante, el plato de cerdo y arroz era delicioso y los rahmen KBB empacó un ponche. Debería ser una revisión de 4 estrellas pero... Soecificly Preguntó al camarero si miso rahmen era picante para niños de 12 años cuando pedimos y nos dijeron que no era picante en absoluto ... una cuchara en ella estaba luchando y casi no comió nada de eso (ella ama un buen rahmen también! ) Como amante de las especias, probé algunas y definitivamente empacó un ponche y nunca lo habría declarado no picante. Estas cosas pasan pero esperaba que el plato se quitara de la factura o al menos ppart reembolsado ya que el consejo del camarero era malo por lo que nos decepcionaron no se hizo ningún esfuerzo para compensar. Para repetir. La comida era DELICIOSA

Stunning menu, super affordable and friendly staff. Please help keep this place going and spread the word.

De vuelta otra vez. Tenderstem Brócoli, Meat Donuts y Beef Skewers, compartidos como entrantes. Luego tallarines con espinilla. La comida estaba bien presentada, picante, pero no demasiado caliente. El postre era un pastel de queso y Tiramisu. Honestamente no podía faltar nada. El servicio, como siempre, fue eficiente y amable.

So much depth of flavour in the dishes. Can’t wait to go again.

Arrived just after 9pm Saturday and the place was shut. If you’re going to advertise certain hours then please stick to them or change the details. It’s not rocket science. Went to Spice Thai instead and, very reliably, had a fantastic dinner.

My new go to restaurant when I’m in town. Food was delicious and the tea was a surprising delight. Only had a selection of the starters, but I’ll be back soon to try the mains.

Fantastic food and service. We will be back

Best ramen in Liverpool! Uses fresh noodles and very well made broth.

Loved the food here! Small but varied menu. Ordered 5 dishes to share and every dish was filled with flavour bombs! Will definitely be back again.

Lovely little place for fab food great staff

Tomó un punt en este lugar y fueron gratamente sorprendidos. La comida es excelente, recién preparado y muy bien valorado - excelente servicio también! Volveré la semana que viene. No puedo esperar.

Great food and really good service would highly recommend!

Food in here is incredible. 3rd time we’ve been.

Just ate here for lunch and was very impressed. All of the food was super delicious and cooked perfectly.

Cute little place that serves korean food. The menu is small but interesting. Was really looking forward to trying some proper korean food for the first time and I was not disappointed!

Exceptional food, lovely service and just a great vibe. Really one of the best places to eat in Liverpool.

Great food and lovely people - chicken is so tasty and the beef was incredible

Finding this place was just lucky Googling! We were visiting from the U.S. and were hungry after a long day of travel. The soju mojito was so refreshing, the ginger & garlic noodle dish and bao buns were delicious. Even the side of broccoli was perfect! Definitely recommend!

Ambiente relajado y comida impresionante! Esta fue mi segunda visita a KaiBaiBo y sin duda volveré! Fui con mi madre. Compartimos costillas de maíz y los pinchos de carne más increíbles. Luego tomamos un tazón de fideos cada uno. La porción de fideos era grande, así que era demasiado grande para mi madre, pero me comí todos los míos. Ambos disfrutamos de la comida a fondo. ¡Increíbles cócteles también! Recomiendo el ciruela negrani. ¡No es grande así que recomiendo que reserve para asegurarse de obtener una mesa!

Amazing food! Wonderful service! Recommend the plum negroni!

The staff were great and the food was excellent

Kaibaibo was a recommendation in Time Out Liverpool. The menu was enticing and eating it was even better! We shared Korean Fried Chicken, Spiced Butter Corn Ribs, Bulgogi Skewers - delicious. We were hungry (greedy) and also had Shoryu (the pork belly just melted in the mouth) and KBB Shin Ramen (has a kicked). Would we recommend Kaibaibo - YES. Would we go again - hell yes!

Have been here a few times and the food is amazing. Love the ramen and bao buns. Service is great, love the atmosphere. One of my favourite restaurants in Liverpool!

Ramen is one of my favourites dishes and I always struggle to get a mix between the perfect meat and flavour and noodles and this had everything. The only thing I would say to improve is to offer a large size in case people don’t want sides/starters, but it’s was 10/10

Our 2nd visit. All the dishes were excellent especially the sweetcorn ribs. You don't have to order nearly everything off the menu, but we tried our best. So tasty.

Very tasty, would definitely return

The service and other things are fine. The ramen dishes are incredibly small portions and the shoryu in particular is way too salty with no complexity in the broth. Charsiu was very overcooked and not properly cleaned before use. Well this is clearly a Japanese Korean British fusion, but unfortunately one below the most average standard.

Lovely tasty food and great atmosphere

Lovely little place, relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff, great food and drinks!

Food excellent, staff very attentive, making sure everything is ok. Would recommend.

Fried chicken was delicious. All the food was and the staff were excellent

Food Amazing Staff lovely Atmosphere great

family meal. booked online. was expected and table was ready. attentive staff.

I tried the KBB shin ramen and the Tantanmen ramen, both were excellent. Staff were very friendly and service was great.

Food was delicious, all the meals we had were top drawer! We will definitely go again, great service, food was fresh and came quickly. Fully recommended!!

I would highly recommend Kaibaibo. The food and drinks were all fantastic - would definitely recommend the corn ribs and the chicken bao. Great range of drinks (the mojito was amazing) and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Everything was a really great price too. Will definitely be back when I next visit Liverpool.

The tantanmen ramen gave me so much happiness

They do incredible food on a ridiculously reasonable budget. If you’re looking for the best meal out under £40 you’ll eat here like a king. I frequent here more than most places and it never feels like enough. X an absolute gem.

Good food, good portions and a lot of variety. Second time I’ve been for dinner and they don’t disappoint.

It's a small but perfect menu. Everything we tried was packed with so much flavour and arrived within a few minutes of placing an order. The vegetable udon was delicious. Drinks options are quite limited, but all complimentary of the menu

Amazing food, super yummy and such a nice chilled vibe 😁 the rice cakes were my fav !!

"Small yet perfectly formed" has to be the best way to describe this restaurant Do not risk a walk-in! Book a table to avoid disappointment. The menu is small, yet there's still a good variety of dishes to try. Every dish we had was delicious - we could not fault it. Service was fast yet friendly, and the price was reasonable. I can't wait to go back to sample the rest of the menu.

We had an insanely good meal at KaiBaiBo! The Korean Fried Chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, the gochujang sauce on the side the ideal blend between sweet and spicy. Shoryu ramen and char sui noodles were both packed full of flavour. Everything was freshly cooked, piping hot and generous portions, and service was excellent. We both agreed we've found a new favourite independent in Liverpool and already can't wait to return.

Incredible food and dog friendly

Kaibobo is amazing. The chicken is tender and juicy - the meat doughnuts are to die for (we had 2!). The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Fresh, reasonably priced and tasty as hell!

My wife and i visited on the 20th June. The restaurant is super welcoming and relaxed, we received fantastic service from Robin. We ordered quite a few dishes and the standouts were the bulgogi steak, the corn ribs; which I think of daily and the tteokbokki. Cannot wait to go back here on our next visit to the city. The only thing I forgot to buy was a tshirt. KaiBaiBo might be my favourite restaurant.

We ate here when we visit Liverpool for TS concert N2... and what a great chance this was. The food was great. The por ramen was so delicious and the baos were super yummy. I had the chicken bao... to be honest I wish I could eat everything ln the menu before I felt full...

The food is so good especially the fried chicken and the bulgogi for a reasonable price. I didnt really enjoy much the curry ramen but it is worth the try. I wish they serve rice 😊

Some of the best ramen I've had, with good portions and prices and our server was lovely. The place was really well kept and I loved the look of it.

Incredibly good food, good prices, pure joy.

Kaibaibo was extraordinarily good. The best comparison I can make would be Momofuku Noodle Bar when it first opened down on 1st ave and 10th in NYC (not the current, overextended, overexposed version). Food that is both new and exciting while respectful to its Japanese and Korean origins. Service that is friendly and attentive without being cloying. And a vibe (decor, music) that is simple and unfussy, but still cool enough to bring a date or friends. Really loved the broccolini with lime-peanut butter-gochujang, and the tantanmen. I’m not vegetarian, but these two dishes made me feel like I could happily be so.

I visited here with my wife whilst visiting Liverpool for Paul Smith at Hot water comedy club, great food, cold drinks,good service. Nice intimate relaxed venue serving some great Asian/Korean inspired food,I would recommend it friends and family and will come back next time in Liverpool

Not a bad thing to say about this place! Food was unreal, especially the korean fried chicken. Staff were lovely also. Worth every penny.

Exceptional food and impeccable service. One of the best restaurants in Liverpool.

Great food and nice staff, the shoryu ramen is a fair bit too salty to drink the broth but still good eating. The charsui noodles where fantastic and very pleasant and were the buns.

Nice street food style concept. The food was very tasty. Good value for money.

Awesome Bao Chicken, music and atmosphere ‘[•_•]´

What a superb little restaurant! I come to Liverpool a lot and felt like trying some new restaurants this week. It’s good to try new things. Keeps life interesting! Fancied something different so thought I’d try this highly recommended Korean restaurant on Slater Street. The reviews were correct - this is a lovely little place with great food. Certainly stands out. Restaurant is small, about 35 covers max, so I booked online. Menu is a choice between small plates and ramen. I opted for small plates - had to have the signature meat doughnut to start - you really do have to have this here; a strange but fantastic sensation. Beautiful beef inside a fluffy doughnut, powdered with sugar. Sitting on a bed of spicy sauce. Could eat that all day 😆 Korean fried chicken, bulgogi skewers and a pork belly bao were my other choices. All superb - lovely, crisp, chicken; tender beef and a soft and tasty bao. Could not fault the food - all fresh, tasty and well cooked. Service was excellent and welcoming. The beer was Asahi. I went to the brewery where they bottle that once. Price very reasonable. I will definitely have to come back here again. You should eat here; very recommended. Meat doughnut for the people. 😻 Two paws up 🙌🏻

Excellent little Korean fusion restaurant on Slater Street. Small but perfectly formed menu, lovely staff and excellent value for money, highly recommended.

Incredibly good food, the meat doughnut is an interesting twist.

Delicious bao and Korean inspired ramen. Wide array of options so definitely want to go back. And excellent value for what you are getting

The food is fabulous - not particularly fancy but certainly not street food either. Having visited south east Asia many times over the years i ve tasted some really great food similar to what this place offers and Kaibaibo delivers well. The interior is fairly basic but clean and the staff were attentive. The menu is different enough to be interesting but not so left field you need to ask what most things are. Food was hot, portion size was generous and the bill was more than reasonable Would 100% return on next visit to Liverpool

Great food, great atmosphere and exceptional service with reasonable prices would definitely recommend

Lovely little gem. This is the first place me and my friend went to eat when arriving into Liverpool. It didn’t disappoint the food was hot and fresh ! The waiter was so amazing and helpful (I’m so sorry I forgot her name)but she was super helpful even gave us some info about Liverpool as a town which was lovely. She was attentive and really added a warmth to the place. The food was great, the corn is lovely

We visited KaiBaiBo on a Saturday afternoon after reading great reviews and we were not disappointed. We wanted to order everything on the menu but went with some bao, fried chicken, the meat donut, ramen and fries, and it was all excellent, as was the service and atmosphere. The fries were an unexpected treat for this fry-loving family, and a nice touch for fussy kids.

The service is excellent, with very friendly staff, and the ambiance is very welcoming, although it's a bit cold as I still have to put my coat on (10°C outside). The size of the food portions is borderline "reasonable" for the price. The broth of the ramen is too salty for my liking, and the meat is not as tender as it should be. I ordered Bulgogi on skewers, but again, it's too salty. However, the peanut sauce is great. I enjoyed eating the pork belly Bao as the meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned, but the portion is too small. In fairness, the dishes were properly plated and presented. Overall, I enjoyed the place and experience, but considering the overall taste of the food we ordered, I just cannot justify the price. I initially thought it was a pure Korean restaurant, but it's more like a fusion of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines.

Delicious lunch! Service was really friendly, even brought some water for our dog. Food came quickly and was very tasty. Two people sharing a bao, ramen and bulgogi skewers and we both left full. Recommend booking, it got busy very quickly.

We had a beautiful meal at KaiBaiBo! The meat donut was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Guys running the place were great and the restaurant was very nicely decorated. Definitely recommend :)

Food was really amazing, exceeded my expectations! And the staff was lovely as well, I'll definitely come back and recommend!

Delicious meal and fab choice of drinks. Great service with friendly, helpful staff. Spicy miso pork Ramen was delicious .

Nice little restaurant. Helpful stall. Fried chicken to die for. Value is ok..... The taste, however, is more than ok Definitely will revisit.

Love this place. Second visit to KaiBaiBo now and was just as good as the first time. I was visiting Manchester this time but decided to take a trip to liverpool just for this place as the food is so good and the staff are great. The lovely waitress even remembered me from my previous visit a couple of months ago! I was shocked how she remembered! A lovely touch. Really friendly staff. Food is outstanding. Delicious 10/10. Must must get the meat donut. You will not be dissapointed.

A little one. To discover. Everything was delicious. The Bao's bread was light and soft. The ramen was excellent. Lots of flavors. I highly recommend.
