Thanks to a discount offer on UberEats, I caved on ordering in during a night shift and got to try out Bapbo for the first time! Staying up through the night made me want tteokbokki since it's so comforting and carb-loaded.
The first thing I ordered was the ROSE TTEOKBOKKI which has a delicious creamy sauce that is very mild in spice, hence perfect for anyone to enjoy. They were generous with the portion, loading it up with lots of rice cakes, but also pairing it with smoked sausage, onion, and broccoli.
Another dish I tried was what really caught my eye (which meant the phone did not get to eat first), ARMY STEW TTEOKBOKKI. Instead of a sauce, this dish is presented in a soup base and can even be requested at different spice levels. I got the "baby spicy (level 1)" which was not spicy to me at all, so I'll definitely be leveling up next time. I loved the variety in this dish, as it came with rice cakes, fish cakes, smoked sausages, Vienna sausages, spam, white and green onion, and even wide glass noodles! To make it even better, I added mozarella cheese which they melted on top and that really made it perfect!
Overall, I really enjoyed their rice cakes, as they were very soft and easy to chew, not overly dense like some other Korean restaurants.
They used white plastic bowl containers, with clear lids which kept all the food well-contained and nothing spilled during delivery. Napkins and cutlery were also packed with my order.
A little pricey in my opinion, as it was about $20 per tteokbokki dish and about $3 to add cheese but I wouldn't mind revisiting every so often since I genuinely really enjoyed the food.
