Bam Bam Kitchen

We stumbled into this restaurant on a rainy day and we're pleasantly surprised by the homestyle ambiance when you walk in. Service was pretty quick and friendly. The server instructed us to use the URL code on the table to see the menu and also provided a tablet just in case. I ordered the bibimbap which came out in an iron skillet bowl that was crackling and steaming fresh from the stove which was super impressive The food was pretty tasty and the portions at first felt small, but the density made up for it. The food did continue to cook while in the iron skillet, but it created this nice crispiness to the bottom of the rice which was really fun to eat. We really enjoyed the food here and definitely will make a return visit to try more things

Lovely people run a very creditable Korean food outpost. Very solid output from the kitchen. Its not perfection (and the bathroom could use some attention) but worth a spot on your regular rotation.

Overall, our experience at Bam Bam Kitchen was very enjoyable. The fiery chicken was absolutely incredible--perfectly seasoned with a great balance of heat and flavor. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. However, the bibimbap was a bit of a letdown. It lacked the depth of flavors that I was expecting, and it didn't quite live up to the rest of the dishes. Despite that, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was friendly and efficient. I'd still recommend this place, especially for the BBQ options, but I'd probably skip the bibimbap next time.

Food: ExcellentService: ExcellentAmbiance: Great!Would we go back?: DEFINITELY. We wanted to try a new restaurant around the area and this was pretty darn good!

This place is great for a quick Korean fix that scratches the itch. The flavors in what we ordered were not as deep as I'm used to, but there are other dishes that might be worth trying. The service and ambiance were both great!

I like the atmosphere and interiorClean and modern looking Menu is kind of limited, and they charge additional for protein in certain food,Ordered bibimbab, which was listed as $15 but i was charged $16, my friend added bulgogi(beef meat) which was additional $3,Cheese fire chicken was $23 i asked alotta cheese without knowing it's $2 extra All came out 63 something after tax Small parking is next the building if you are lucky to find a space and it's metered They give small korean yogurt drink at the end Portion was not big for chicken for $25 and considering chicken isn't that pricy even with inflation, wonder if it's worth it.It will be nice to have some small soup with the bibimbab.. which normally do in most places

Went in kinda late but they were still serving food and there were other patrons around. Inside was fine, modern, typical for a casual meal. Service was fast and super friendly, and the food was tasty. The mushroom soft tofu was good with a nice variety of mushrooms, if a bit thin--they didn't give us an egg to crack into it, which was weird, given that every other Korean restaurant I've ever been to does. I assume they'd give you one if you paid for it? I enjoyed my spicy galbi tang, but not sure it was worth $25. And the honey garlic wings were fried extra crispy with good flavor, if a tiny bit dry inside. For being so close by, it's a pretty good option, but it's more expensive than I'd expect for a casual spot on the Main Line.

Food and service are stellar! The wait can be a tad long sometimes but witch such wonderful traditional Korean food, it's well worth the wait! Ambiance is friendly and cozy. It's a must try Ardmore Korean spot!

The bone I've been picking with their neighbor a few blocks away did me a favor because we would not have discovered this delicious gem.I had the Misugaru since I saw it was a traditional Korean drink and I'm usually told on anything described as traditional... even if it doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Pretty much I will try anything that doesn't have the words cilantro, licorice, and tobacco. Korean traditional multi grain drink based on honey and milk with soybean, brown rice, Indian millet, millet seed, black bean, black rice, rice, peanut, sesame seed, and carrot. I wasn't sure upon my first sip. I think I was indifferent but it grew on me. It is creamy and rich and I can taste the honey, soybean, black sesame, and peanut. It would make an amazing soft serve. I recommend trying it. We started off with a large Mandoo Combo (4 Ribeye Mandoo, 4 Pork Kimchi Mandoo, 3 Veggie Mandoo, 5 Shrimp Shumai). It was served with their house made dipping sauce and they were all so delicious. The sampler is the way to go. There's almost always one thing I'm not cuckoo for when large samplers, but this was not the case. So treat yourself to a combo and get the best four worlds. When the staff brought it out, he took the time to tells which mandoo was what. A lot of people do not take the 10 seconds out if their day to do that unless you're in ultra fine dining (and that's probably or else they'll get fired).Soft tofu soup with diced zucchini and ribeye with an egg. Very delicious but portion is too tiny :(. It was probably the most I've paid for soft tofu soup given the size. I don't think it comes it rice, but I feel like they'd give you some since the staff are so kind and gracious. I definitely do not like egg yolk and I accidentally broke into one because I didn't know there was egg. The broth was so flavorful I couldn't even taste the yolk. Thd soft is great texture, sometimes it is too soft and it disintegrates when you scoop. If this is all you're planning to get, maybe get an appetizer too.I think Korean "sweet and savory" is one of the few sweet/savory I truly enjoy, versus good old traditional American BBQ sauce/pulled pork/etc.LA Galbi - Marinated bone-in prime ribs grilled in house special sauce. Served on cast iron skillet on a bed of fresh onions. Leaner cuts of meat compared to the Honey Pork. Very good, but maybe not for you if you don't like eating around the bones. Honey Pork - Korean marinated pork with "Galbi" sauce and cooked on grill. Served on cast iron skillet on a bed of fresh onions. Pork are a bit on the fatty side, but it is also where all the flavor is. Of the meat entrees, Honey Pork (also recommend by one of the staff) is definitely a good go-to. I cannot wait to come back because I also want to try their Neobiani Bulgogi next!

Extremely deceptive pricing, hidden markups, hidden addons. Food is normal, service normal.
