Standout dishes include Korean Fried Chicken, crispy and golden-fried, glazed with a gochujang sauce that balances sweet, spicy and savoury flavours, topped with crunchy cashews. The Ba Special Gimbap offers a bold twist on the classic, featuring prawn tempura, kimchi, tangy takuan, and aioli rolled in seasoned rice and seaweed. The Wagyu Bibimbap combines tender wagyu beef, a fried egg, sautéed vegetables, and rich marrow over steamed rice, elevating this traditional dish to new heights. The combination of flavours and textures elevates this classic Korean comfort food to an entirely new level.
