This is another place I was excited about. Ever since the previous restaurant there closed (Umbrella Cafe, a favorite of mine since I moved in), the empty storefront made me sad to walk by. I had been monitoring the space for a while and knew a place called Bae Bae's Kitchen was opening up, but it had been hard to find much information about it. I had no idea it had opened until I walked by today. Korean food is one of my favorites, so I was thrilled to try it.
I had a plate with the special egg and onion fried rice and bulgogi with one side dish (I chose seaweed salad) for $13. I was also given a cup of kimchi and some miso soup and Thai iced tea. All the food was delicious. I especially liked the bulgogi.
The service here was very friendly, even when an influx of people came in. The ordering was convenient... you just go up to the counter where they display the options for your plates (or grab and go items such as kimbap). If I had one complaint about my experience, it would be that the pork belly advertised on the menu was not available today. But it is understandable, as they are just starting out. I will definitely be back. This is a worthy successor to the Umbrella Cafe.
