Babsang is a relaxed Korean restaurant at 103B Dalston Lane, close to the markets, bars and independent shops of Dalston. The compact dining room serves generous portions of familiar Korean comfort food, with a menu that works for a quick lunch, an informal dinner or several dishes shared across the table.
Bibimbap combines steamed rice, seasoned vegetables, egg and Korean red chilli paste with a choice of beef, pork, chicken, tofu or aubergine. Bulgogi also appears in rice bowls, noodles and kimbap rolls, while black bean jjajang rice and Korean curry offer further one bowl meals with plenty of savoury depth.
Korean fried chicken is available with sweet and spicy yangnyeom sauce, soy and garlic or a simple salt and pepper seasoning. Barbecue sets pair beef, chicken, pork or pork belly with rice, lettuce and ssamjang, allowing diners to wrap the grilled meat and balance its richness with crisp leaves and fermented sauce.
Kimchi stew, soft tofu stew and spicy beef soup provide warming choices, while fried tofu mirrors the chicken sauces for vegetarian and vegan diners. Pancakes, salads, side dishes and desserts round out a menu that moves confidently between smoky barbecue, crisp fried food, spicy broth and comforting rice.
