Generous portions define K.BAP's menu, so big eaters rejoice! Diners rave about the fried chicken, which melts in your mouth with its crunchy coating. Popular dishes like bibimbap and japchae shine with authentic flavors, making them crowd favorites.
The ability to cook your own BBQ at the table adds a delightful twist to the meal, keeping food warm and allowing everyone to be involved in the cooking process. The variety of kimchi and pickled sides enhances each dish, bringing that genuine Korean touch that many love. Plus, the friendly staff are always ready to guide diners through the menu, making your visit even more enjoyable.
Most Disliked
Considering its strengths, a few diners have noted that K.BAP can get quite busy during peak hours, particularly on weekends. This might lead to a slight wait for tables or service, but the vibrant atmosphere often makes it worthwhile.
Additionally, while the menu is extensive, some guests seek even more traditional Korean options that are harder to find here. However, the quality of what is offered generally outweighs these minor grievances. A reservation can help avoid peak hour waits, ensuring a smoother dining experience.

I came across this Korean BBQ while exploring the neighborhood after my 23 day cruise and spent 3 days in Southampton ... So happy I saw and I enjoyed a fabulous, authentic and very tasty Korean meal. Hostess, waitress and Chef were wonderful. You must try.

Portions are huge! Every dish is clearly bigger than what you’d get at most other places. Lots of great vegetarian dishes like bibimbap, japchae, and kimchi pancakes. The staff is super friendly and happy to help if you have any questions! There are so many different dishes to choose from, and everything tastes so authentically Korean. It honestly felt just like dining at a Korean restaurant in Korea. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Really enjoyed the experience at K.BAP - so many delicious flavours and textures. Loved the selection of tasty fresh sides like kimchi and pickled radish. The novelty of cooking in the middle of the table added an interesting element, and it was great for keeping food warm. Staff were very attentive, ensuring there was no risk of undercooking the meats. The fried chicken just fell off the bone and melted in the mouth too (after getting through the insanely crunchy coating!). The mix of delicious Korean spices went incredibly well with a couple of cold Korean beers. Highly recommended if you're ever in Southampton!

The best Korean restaurant in Southampton! The food tastes just like in Korea, totally authentic and never watered down. The menu is huge and full of genuine Korean flavours. Budae jjigae, kimchi pancake, seafood pancake, dakgangjeong, Korean fried chicken and Korean BBQ are all amazing, and the meat is top quality. I feel so lucky there’s a place like this in Southampton. If you want real Korean food, this is the spot!

Had a really delicious meal here tonight. Everything we ate was delicious. The Bibimbap was so tasty sizzling hot and the Ddukboki was yummy! The fried chicken was so good and fresh, smothered in yummy yangyum sauce. I would say it is a little expensive though, £21 for 6 pieces of chicken but atleast it was tasty! Service was great, the lady was very lovely and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!
