BAB Korean Fusion — Restaurant in Washington

After going to a slightly disappointing at best Korean fast casual spot in the city, my Monday night dinner buddy and I had low expectations for BAB Korean Fusion, but we were pleasantly surprised. Here's why:

1. The service: The man at the cashier was super friendly and very helpful. He gave us recommendations and even brought our food to our table.

2. The food: I ordered bulgogi, white rice, and Southeast veggies and it was perfect. It comes with a friend egg, an avocado, and a lime to squeeze on your rice. It's the perfect amount leaving you content.

4. The quirks: They sell a variety of other fun goods from Korea like banana chips, barley tea, and small yogurt drinks.

It comes with rice and I can usually stretch it to 2 (or three) meals with rice I make at home. The bowls and tacos are great too (try with the honey gochuchang shrimp). The owners are the same as the Tony's Breakfast nearby (also a local gem), and the staff are always efficient and...
