On Bap in Edinburgh, City of

The best place in Edinburgh for Korean food. Everything gives such a homey vibe and the food is very delicious and make you want to return for more. Dishes come out very fast and the staff are very friendly.

I went for the first time today and I got some take away for dinner. Food was amazing and very tasty, the waiting time was very short, but I would have waited even longer. The staff is very nice and I will definitely come back again! 감사하미타 🫶

I had the most delicious fried tofu bibimbap. It was so tasty and comforting. Wish this spot was abit bigger so seating could be more spacious but the food was so incredible I’d go back regardless!

The taste was delicious, but I felt a sense of affection in the food... I think it was a meal that I will remember for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it :)

Went during the festival and it was almost full, however they were very accommodating and fast! I think the picture speaks for itself, I wanted to take a picture with the food in it but it was too good. We would be back!

Tasty food and good value, friendly service.

Popped in for a lunch - and got amazed by how delicious it was! The Bibimbap w/ tofu was spicy, sweet and salty, would strongly recommend.

It was the only Korean restaurant I went to during my trip to the UK (London, Edinburgh) and it was good. I ate pork kimchi stew and seasoned chicken. I asked to leave out the peanuts in the fried chicken. The spiciness was not localized(?) and seemed to fall within the range of regular kimchi stew spiciness. In fact, the seasoned chicken was slightly spicier than the seasoning at typical Korean franchise chicken restaurants. This is because the Korean seasoning itself is red but sweet, and the pure spiciness itself was weak. No worries about eating it What’s unusual is that they serve the rice on the right and the stew on the left. In Korea, rice is usually on the left and soup is on the right, but it's the opposite. I don't care about that, but in Korea, rice is always served on the left side, but it was awkward to see it placed on the opposite side.

Really good s Korean food, love the bibimbap, fried chicken, gimmari, actually may as well stop listing the menu. I've been to s Korea with my wife and feels like we are revisiting in these moments!

I went there not expecting much, but it was a real authentic Korean taste. I love kimchi stew, and this one was really delicious. The servers were friendly and the chef was also friendly. The price is reasonable, so if you like Korean food, I definitely recommend a visit!

Great classic dishes, served fast by friendly staff. Exactly what we wanted!

It was nice to taste rich and spicy soup after a long time 🥹🍀

The food here is wonderful. I recommend the beef bulgolgi bimbimbap (hot), I literally had to come back for it two days in a row. All the ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. Beyond that, the ambiance is cozy and lovely.

The unbeatable choice for authentic Korean cuisine.

Really tasty food served quickly. The atmosphere is basic and utilitarian, but made up for by the very affordable prices and delicious authentic Korean cuisine.

I loved their kimchi stew!!! Staffs are nice

Halal Korean food in Edinburgh! The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but cosy. The service was great - casual and efficient. The prices itself were alright, but slightly on the steeper side imo. We ordered the fried chicken and bibimbap. Whilst the fried chicken batter and fry was very well done and crispy, the honey and soy sauce had an overpowering honey taste. The bibimbap though was deliciousssss - huge portions, and very well made. Highly recommended :))

As of today, I am withdrawing my support for Onbap Soft Tofu Stew. Starting today, get out of the support relationship. Onbap soft tofu stew and I become one body. Any attack on Onbap Soft Tofu Stew is considered an attack on me. I eat it with tears in my eyes....

The pork kimchi stew was so delicious that I cried while eating it… The best choice for a one-month trip to Europe... The server was really friendly and brought me more tissues because I was sweating profusely while eating. Soak a spoonful of rice in the hot stew broth and make it… The owner is also very kind!! Go eat onbap, yeolhoebun Highly Highly recommended

Super tasty and authentic food! Staff were lovely and very attentive to allergies. Fast service too! Worth a try if in Edinburgh

에딘버러에서 한국음식 그리워지면 꼭 여기 가세요. 어지간한 한국백반집보다 맛있습니다. Highly recommended

Cela faisait longtemps que je ne mangeais plus une aussi savoureuse cuisine coréenne... Bienvenus également aux végétariens. Boisson peu diversifiées et pas de vin. Bibimbap végé un regal Le bœuf très savoureux Les rouleaux de printemps très invitants Le tout très généreux Je recommande Pas de réservation

Dont come here if you have any allergies or there are more than 6 people in your party, because you will not be welcomed by the owner. In fact, regardless of whether your child is 2 years old and has multiple allergies, you will be told you can't bring your own food!

Popped into this place on my walk into the city centre. What a nice surprise. It's not a fancy place, but it served up a flavourful Korean meal. I ordered the seafood stew with rice, soondubu jjigae. It was great. It's really service and the kitchen is efficient in getting your meal quickly. Food is served piping hot. Prices are reasonable too.

The best Korean food I’ve had ever! Will definitely be back

Clean. Quick. Affordable. Hot tastey food.

Really hyped and crowded at the time I visited. Should be as early as the restaurant is open so you don't need to queue for too long! NO KIMBAP, unfortunately. Overall the food was tasty, but a bit salty for me, the waitress was nice and helpful. Defo will visit again.

위스키 시음회에서 6잔 마시고 알딸딸한 상태에서 김치찌게와 치즈닭갈비 하나 먹었습니다. 속도 풀리고 참 좋네요

Superbe petit restaurant coréen à 10 minutes de la vieille ville. Nous nous sommes régalés 🤤

Very nice Korean food. Reasonable price too. The service is good…

We have been regular and loyal customers of on bap for at least 5 years but even though this place does great food, the management is a complete and utter disgrace. We wanted to book a table for 9 people and the management said no because they said it would be too hard for the chef to cope with cooking for 9 orders?, yet this place regularly gets packed out as soon as it opens so what difference does it make? It's not like this place can seat that many people anyway(the max capacity is 15 or so)!. We even offered to sit separately and this was still not acceptable. It was only until we actually told them that one group of people would order their food first and the other group after 10 mins time that they reluctantly acceptable. What sort of business has this type of ridiculous and idiotic policy? On a separate note, this place states that no outside food or drinks are to be consumed on the premises which is understandable however, there must be exceptions to this rule for example if a child have multiple severe allergies which my little one has (wheat, milk, eggs and nuts)!. Yet again, this was not taken seriously by management. Perhaps the lack of understanding was due to the language barrier due but i highly doubt it!

No so real korean food. I'm eat with my south korean friend

Freindly service and the food was great quality, i'll definitely be back again. Thanks 👍

Pretty basic place. Almost like you are in a canteen. Don't let that put you off they have a small menu so it's pretty quick to get your food and is very fresh. In the time we were there the place filled to capacity quickly and there were people waiting by the time we left.

Best kimchi and vegetablian option.

This is my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. Food is always so fresh and wholesome. The Korean stews are always so light but so filling. The quality of ingredients is great.. The prices are ok for what you get. Service is super quick and friendly. Vibe in here is relaxed. Sit with your book no problems. Note they shut at 830pm and have strange opening hours.

Have been dining here for 5 years straight. Don’t understand why they keep taking popular and tasty dishes out of the menu. No bibimbap anymore now. Even the fried chicken now uses random cheap pieces instead of proper chicken wings like in 2019. It is indeed a shame.

Was a nice place, terrible food and service now.

super leckeres koreanisches essen von koreanerin zubereitet. freundliches personal. portionsgröße mittelgroß. lokal ist winzig und hat streetfood ambiente. mussten warten, da alles voll war. wasser in self service ist gratis.

Good Korean food! I like crispy chicken! As this restaurant just has few tables and cannot have reservation, take-away can save your time.

food is good. But customer service is bad🥲

The best comfort food and my favourite Korean food place in Edinburgh!!

Best affordable Korean Restaurant in Edinburgh, good quality food. You should queue up before the opening times as they get filled within minutes of opening.

Good Food very traditional, friendly staff family run business a must try 😊

Serving Korean comfort food👌👌 I always comeback for their Korean fried chicken💖

I visited On Bap for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it. Service was quick and the food was really nice. Good value and enjoyable drinks. Will definitely be returning.

The vegetarian bibimbap was not good.

Delicious Korean fried chicken that I have ever tried in UK :) and there are much quantity than in the description.

Seriously delicious. Work well as dine in or take away.

AVOID! No customer skills whatsoever !!! Would not allow a 3 year old to eat her own food due to her severe allergies!!! We have always been regular customers however this time it is very and I mean VERY rude service! They did not allow my 3 year to eat her own food even though I told them she has severe allergies and needs to carry a epi pen. I even took her epi pen out and they still said NO! We spent over £100 on the meal there. When they said no my 3 year old cannot eat here, we decided to walk out as they where not unstandable at all. They told us we cannot walk out as the food we ordered was ready. How can they expect a 3 year old to starve and watch us eat and get punished for all the allergies she has! They rushed us and was so rude I would never go back again. The young waitresses thought it was funny and was laughing behind the counter. The lady boss was not considerate at all for a 3 year old until we threatened to walk out. Honestly you have zero customer skills, rude and so unfriendly. I would never ever recommend to anyone ever again!

Taste is OK, but not so good as to rice. Need some improvement for Korean/Japanese. 잡 좀더 맛있게 만들었으면 합니다.

We had seafood&onion pancake, and sweet chili chicken, which are all tasty! Authentic Korean food~ As an asian, I've tried many korean restaurants, this one leaves me very good impression, and I'll definitely come back.

We had pork Kimchi jigae and Korean fried chicken with sweet chili sauce. They don’t have a sauce without “sweet” and it wasn’t particularly spicy…bummer. We still enjoyed it. Jigae was good. Would have liked more kimchi in it. They do not serve all the small side dishes like in traditional Korean homes/restaurants so in good conscience I cannot give 5 stars. I will go back there to try other dishes.

On Bap is a lovely Korean dine place where you can find basic traditional Korean dishes. It's a small place with 6 square tables(for 2 or 3 people max) and window seats for max 3 people. I saw they open this place and I was desperate to visit and try their cooking. Being honest the food was good but I've tasted better in a Korean restaurant in London and Dublin. I guess I need to visit and try again... it could be the case that they still new business and that probably they are still figuring out details for the food and service. We arrived 45 min before closing time and it was the usual 20min waiting for the food to arrive. The presentation was normal for Korean dishes. The tables, the cutlery and cups where clean. They offer water for self-service and they have traditional Korean drinks. I'm surprise they're only open few hours per day and they had a couple of people trying to come in after closing time. In general I had a lovely time and I ate well. Thank you for the food.

Excellent food and great service

We love this place, authentic and tasty food and very friendly staff!!

Nice food, decent portion sizes, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Also the place was packed with Asian people which is always a good sign for an Asian food place!

Second time trying Korean food, in my opinion it was good. The sweet chill fried chicken with nuts on top was delicious and definitely would get it again (3/5). The katsu curry was well presented and tasted delicious (4/5). The only issue was that we waited around 20 to 30 minutes to get a table.

What a wonderful find. Delicious food, large portions, good price and friendly staff.

Finally I found authentic flavor Korean restaurant. I never ever seen 낙지 in the UK! I didn’t expect much, it was really impressive. I thought i was in Korea. The amount of food is great and delicious. However, don’t understand payment rule. Only weekend lunch= Cash only………?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been here and also have some take away! Their foods are so tasty! It’s not over priced compare to what you get (quality and portion)! I always think that you don’t need to go to fancy restaurants to have amazing foods you just know where to go and this is the place I recommend for Korean in Edinburgh!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU WANT HALAAL KOREAN FOOD - THIS IS IT! It is a small cosy eatery with fast-paced informal dining. The chicken is halaal and the lady informed us they do cook each sauce separately in a different pan. Feel free to inquire on your own as they are there to answer whatever questions you may have. I cannot recommend the place enough, the food is amazing. This is not your upscale 5-star restaurant with several waiters and table reservation options which is exactly what adds to its authenticity and charm.

Very good food. Staff are very friendly buy a bit busy very popular.

Authentic delicious Korean cuisine that you can't find elsewhere in Edinburgh. Also, they are using stone pots for some of their dishes and soups, which keep the food hot until you finish it. Must try in Edinburgh!

We thought it was fab. It looks a bit rough ans ready but was delicious and authentic.

First time visit and the food was so tasty. The menu is limited to certain dishes but this reflects to the effort they put to prepare them. Easily a five star.

Great food. The fried chicken was very good, as was the bibimbap although I personally would have preferred the egg less cooked, the dumplings were also great.

Dolsot Bibimbap was OK. Although minus one star because it could have come with side dishes. Didn't even come with kimchi; had to order that separate.

We did for a take-away and it was perfect :) Nakjideopbap would be spicy for non-Koreans. Dakganjeong (sweet chilli chicken) was so great. I missed South Korean food but you saved us! Thank you!

The best place to get a taste of home amazing food and staff and atmosphere

拌饭很好吃 尝了牛肉和煎豆腐的都很不错 拌饭的辣酱辣度适中 很不错！嫩豆腐泡菜汤也很纯正👍

My favourite restaurant in the world

Metal chopsticks are a bit of a challenge but the food is excellent

Ordered takeaway from this place recently and i must say that everything was absolutely amazing, specially the honey & soya and sweet chilli fried chicken was brilliant. On top of that they gave us complimentary choco pie and sweet potato crisps. Thank you for the great meal, i really enjoyed it.

爱丁堡口味最正宗性价比最高的韩式简餐店，环境整洁，老板人很友善。 推荐 双味炸鸡/牛肉石锅饭/海鲜豆腐汤

absolutely incredible food. 10/10 my favorite restaurant in Edinburgh.

The best bibimbap I’ve ever had!

Tasty food every time we’ve ordered, especially the chicken wings with soy honey sauce (my favourite). Staff is always friendly and courteous - really impressed with their safety and hygiene too when picking up orders :)

Hearty portions of delicious food for a great price - really enjoyed the food here and look forward to returning for more!

Some of the yummiest food ive ever tried. Staff is really sweet. Really good vibes in the place. Try the bibimbap, you will not regret it!!

Guaranteed to satisfy all your cravings for Korean food and at very reasonable prices. We always come back for the aubergine rice (gaji deopbap).

My favourite Korean restaurant I've tried in Edinburgh, always my go-to! Delicious food and good prices/value for money

Great food! Prefect lunch place

Amazing Bibimbap! The best I have ever had!

One of the best Korean restaurant in my life.

¡Si pudiera, ni siquiera daría una estrella! En primer lugar, el personal no tiene modales ni el llamado servicio de restaurante. Son solo niñas que aún no han crecido. Llegué y pedí una mesa de 4, en la que había una mesa de 2 gratis y al lado había 1 cliente casi terminando y saliendo. La chica me pidió que esperara de 10 a 15 minutos para permitir que el cliente terminara de irse y ella preparó la mesa para mí. 10 minutos más tarde, entraron 2 clientes y la otra chica estúpida les dio esa mesa de 2 a estos 2 clientes y la chica que me aconsejó que esperara vino y me dijo que no hay mesa para ti y que no saben cuánto tiempo tenemos que esperar. ! Vi a la chica que me sirvió hablar con el otro servidor que les sirvió la mesa a las 2 chicas y ella simplemente tuvo un poco de actitud y se encogió de hombros y no me miró, si no puedes lidiar con las cosas en un momento Manera profesional por favor no trabaje es un entorno basado en el cliente. Quiero decir, ¿qué grosero es eso? ? ? Pésimo servicio al cliente! El lugar era pequeño! ¡Y tu ropa apestaba a aceite porque no hay ventilación! Me pregunto si este lugar incluso tiene consentimiento para comida caliente. ¡Nunca más vuelvas! ¡El servicio al cliente lo dice todo y lamentablemente no tienes ninguno!

Excellent Jjigae, so gooood ! Bibimbap was good too. Reasonable price, good turnover of customers. Will definitely be back.

Nice place to eat Korean food in Edinburgh

Great food, good prices, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Instantly became one of my all-time favorite restaurants!

The staff are friendly. Food is so good. It is my favorite Korean restaurant in Edinburgh. It also has options of halal chicken. The only problem is the limited number of tables.

Onbap is great value if you eat in - but don't bother with takeaway. On average, 40 min wait for a takeaway, after they take your money. This has happened on quite a few occasions. I get that they're super busy in here, the place is always packed, but they either need to prioritise takeaway patrons or don't bother selling takeaway at all.

Good price and great food! Highly recommend!

Awesome as usual. The bibimbap there is to die for. 😍

Delicious bibimbap, not to pricey either!

So good - best Korean food in Edinburgh

Easily the best Korean restaurant in old town!

Good, value for money Korean food. Many thumbs up for the Korean fried chicken! Tried both the honey soy and sweet chilli flavour, preferred the honey soy one!

The food was really delicious!! Though the octopus was a bit too spicy for me. I particularly like the sweet chilli chicken wings, which is probably the best I ever had in Edinburgh.

Restaurant is always busy and popular with students. The staff are smiley and friendly. Their Korean fried chicken is the best I've tried in Edinburgh- not greasy or too fatty. Gimbap is another good option. These options can also make good takeaway/lunchtime options.
