I recently visited The Babs and had their chicken bowl, which was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was cozy and the place was spotlessly clean. A special shoutout to the staff - the girl who took my order was not only beautiful but also incredibly nice. Definitely planning to return for another delightful meal!
Food was great as recommended on the menu. Staffs are kind and welcoming. Very random location but it has all- food to drinks.
Tried the spicy pork bowl and it was awesome! The new k-rose tteokbokki was creamy and delicious. Perfect for korean lunch option :) the staff was very friendly and kind so highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a cozy lunch spot!
Such warm atmospheres and friendly staffs. Tried Bulgogi sandwich, cheese Tteokboki and Galbitang. They were all amazing!! Highly recommend!!
Food is simple, home-made and very tasty. Place is very clean. It was deserted and we were there on a Friday lunch hour. The location is off, not in a commercial high traffic area. No visible sign of the business from road, so it can easily be missed.
A cozy little bistro-meets-cafeteria establishment tucked into the corner of a commercial area of New Westminster, the menu is curated and simple, but executed extremely well. A mix of brunch and lunch items with both North American favourites and Korean staples, everything was made to order and came out hot at the counter/tableside. The prices were extremely reasonable and the portions were sizeable. It felt like I was being cooked for in someone's home in the best way possible. If you're in the area, it is worth checking out. Just be aware that parking is limited so you may have to get a little creative. I ordered the Bulgogi Burger with fries, a BLT sandwich, and Cheese Tteokbokki; the rice cakes were the standout for me, but everything was hot, well seasoned, and made from fresh ingredients.
Cute little local kitchen. Very clean, lots of space and easy to get to. A lot of menu food items. I personally went in looking for a latte or good coffee not knowing that they don’t really carry it. ( They only had regular black coffee you put ur own milk and sugar into) So if you’re looking for a iced coffee or latte this is not the place to go. The breakfast sandwich I had though was delicious though. And the chocolate chip cookie was very gooey. Yum. Hoping I can come back another time to try out their sushi !
I Loved their $10 Chicken Burger! Delicious food and cozy atmosphere! The burger was juicy and flavorful, paired perfectly with crispy fries. The service was friendly and attentive, making for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and warm hospitality. Will definitely be returning soon! 3 Parking spot at the Front.
Food was delicious, portions were quite big and the atmosphere is quite nice in spite of it being next to the train tracks!
The price was reasonable and the food was delicious. The kids enjoyed the burgers and I enjoyed the Korean soup. We were all satisfied with our meal.
Food was delicious! Flavours are unique compared to other Korean food we had. Food
Must try!!! Food was really good! And cheese teokbokki is my favorite Its really good if you dip it in kimbap with tteokbokki sauce. I was there with a kid who has celiac disease and they really did good care of cross contaminations and made sure about ingredients. Appreciated!
Exceptionally good food and service is wonderful. Regularly visit as it is convenient.
Foods were so delicious and friendly staff Will come back ~ Food
Im going to have a delicious lunch. Todays galbitang is good....Next time is market gukbap.
This is a hidden restaurant that I found by chance. I am grateful to this restaurant that satisfied both me, who wanted a Western-style breakfast, and my daughter, who wanted spicy soup! Next time, I should try the steamy soup too. Haha
The food was great and the interior is very nice
Best Korean Food EVER!! I had the Jangteo Gukbab and it was amazing!! FIVE STARS!! Food : 5/5
This family-run restaurant is a hidden gem! The server was super friendly and the food was incredible!! I was blown away by the quality and quantity of the food, and they even gave me a free coffee coupon because Im a nurse!
We ordered cheese tteokbokki, sandwiches, and Sundubu Jjigae. All the food was very delicious and the server was friendly. I highly recommend this place. We will come again.
Amazing little hidden gem! Where else could you find American style breakfast and Korean stew in the same place. The rose tteokboki is a must try. The only downside is that it s only open on weekdays. I m praying they open on weekends soon too!
It s been a while since I ate really delicious Korean food! Especially the galbitang, tteokbokki, and spicy pork are so delicious. I plan to come again next time and try other menus I didnt know there was a place like this around my house. Well done!
Easy laid back place to grab a quick bite
Awesome Place! Great food and service! Very nice
My boyfriend and I were blown away by the reasonable prices and large portions! Very impressed. Will certainly be back. Kid-friendliness: Seems to be a good restaurant for families
Super kind staff!! Amazing food and prices. Clean and tidy. Dont let the outside or location fool you for this secert hidden jem. Left all our bellys full. Also had a little one and super accomdating.
This a lovely family restaurant, tastefully done. The spicy beef noodle soup was delicious.
Nice dining experience served by attentive Mom and Pop management. I ordered the bulgogi burger and my wife ordered the chicken cutlet meal. Price are reasonable. Not much parking as the area is industrial.Quality of the food is very good with decent size portions. We left full and satisfied.
Babs is located in a industrial area and we passed by this place not knowing what a true gem it was! The burgers were so juicy and full of flavour and their korean food was so hearty and filling! They are reduced to limited hours but if you enjoy korean fried chicken or katsu and need a restaurant to satisfy even the little kiddos taste buds this restaurant is for you!!!
The most important thing as a restaurant is to be clean. This restaurant has it. It was clean and I could be there with no worry. The environment was bright and organized. The food quality was awesome! Service was awesome with a good smile. I would be there with my family and friends.

Wow, this place is awesome ! Food is delicious, cheap and this is why ill be back often! No where in the city you can eat for 15$ and be full like here. Worth the detour
It recently reopened and I went there. Chicken burger is delicious~ Satisfied with the price~
I had coffee and lunch here while I waited for my car to get fixed nearby. Really nice people running it, and amazing food options, they have typically lunch and breakfast stuff, but also great Korean food. They were kind enough to let me set up and work, and use their wifi for a few hours as well!
Great service and great blt glad i popped in
Reasonable prices for very delicious, fresh food. Its an odd location I would have never found out about had it not been for eating delicious leftovers my wife brought home the previous night. I had to find this place and visit in person. Inside is very clean. Food was made on demand.
Best breakfast! Eggs perfectly done!
Amazing Place. It s Cozy and Very very Clean, Prices are somewhat okay but the Food Quality is amazing. The Owner Eric is very nice and polite and the cooks in the back are very friendly would recommend this place
We had one of CUP BABS - I think I had spicy pork cup BAB; spicy pork on top of the rice bowl. I loved it. The server was nice for our kid. We are thankful. For the price, the quality and quantity are both good. If I lived nearby I d come several times a week.
Decent
I never thought I would taste the soft tofu of my life in Vancouver.. I came here for brunch and ended up eating soft tofu and a bowl of rice! Refreshing, spicy, and perfect for my taste The price is also great!! They gave me a lot of food, but its no secret that I ate it all... I could have starved until dinner! I especially liked it because the clams were removed so well. Next time, I ll have to try other menu items!
Babs rocks!!! Great work lunches!!
I tried BABS BURGER MEAL. IT WAS JUST AMAZING. FRIED CHICKEN JUICY PATTY WITH FRIES AND POP. JUST LOVE THE TASTE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
A very good Korean and Western diner in a light industrial area. Many western standards but the reasons for going would be for the Asian food. Very nice people running the place.
Good authentic food.
I always get the breakfast sandwich with sausage
The soft tofu was the most delicious in all of Korea and Canada, and the seafood was plentiful. The cup rice had a great spicy flavor from the meat, and the rice itself had a nice chewy texture. Basically, you seem to have a good sense of cooking. And he is always kind.
wow. ordered via skip, food was amazing. dumplings are incredible, highly recommend the bulgogi.
Cozy family owned restaurant. Food is amazing and delicious. Please give it a try.
We wanted to try a new restaurant and what we got was Dollar Store Food for extreme high price. The Chicken strips is the same strips you find at dollar store for $5, some frozen, some over cooked. The fries are simply old and stale potatoes(not sure if they are potatoes). The beef burger was not edible as there was a worm in it, the chicken burger was soggy and had slime in the box. The spicey pork rice cup was simply atrocious! There were no pork pieces, there was a piece of PLASTIC! I spent over $50 for this. Im surprised this restaurant is still functioning.
I work right by this place. And have breakfast everyday.there Quite often have lunch there too. Great food
Amazing food! Great customer service. Averaged pricing for a small sushi restaurant. The wait time was averaged.
Delicious food and very humble staff. Must try.
Above-and-beyond friendly service with tasty food.
The food is great and the staff are really kind. Stumbled upon it when I missed my bus and had to walk home and Im glad I did. Really fair prices for what you get and most importantly its delicious:)
Super tasty food! I had the chicken burger and fries, both were dialed in and tasty. My wife had the club sandwich and it was delicious too. Highly recommend grabbing some grub here.
Great food at decent prices! Had the spicy pork cup (bowl) and it was delicious. Don t let the odd location put you off. It s a nicely designed and clean place with very good food.
Good prices, they serve almost everything except pizza. Way better than Bruncheria up the street.
Very good food! Highly recommended! Some great Korean dishes that are gastronomically amazing! Steady traffic coming through. One thing: you may want to ask for your sauce on the side, they can be fusion and a bit of a surprise for some. Be transported over the puddle to Seoul- eat at Babs Kitchen and you will definitely have a happy tummy!! Yvon & Michelle (aka. Jae Sook)
Tasty food, Clean, cozy...
One of Vancouver s hidden gems. The food is incredible and the staff is so kind. The breakfast is one of the best you ll ever have and the bowl babs are to die for. Highly recommend stopping by. And the prices cannot be beat.
Solid breakfast, reasonable price, good coffee
Under new ownership, just finished undergoing a renovation, nice bright and clean now. Good value and tastes good!
Newly renovated. Clean, tidy, friendly cashier. Both Babs burger and Spicy Pork bab were great! It wasnt busy so good came right away. Will definitely come back!
Really great place! New Management are super friendly. Super fresh Fries, burger was top notch, and really nice environment. Would definitely recommend it.
Fresh and healthy food. Price is reasonable. Nice, warm store to dine alone or with friends. Chicken wing was crispy and tender ,The spicy pork cupbob was great and portions are pretty good. Would come again.
Freshly made fries, good classic burger. Have yet to try the Korean food, but I have a good feeling about it.
Great family run Diner. Check this place out if youre passing through for comfort food and great people.
I went to the bobs with my girlfriend and ordered spicy burger. First of all staffs were super nice and polite. The burger was so delicious and fresh. I am going back to this place and strongly recommend to all of you guys.
Cute café with friendly staff and delicious food. Would recommend for any meal!
Working on a renovation in the same plaza, wish the job would go a day longer. Good warm food for a cold wet day
food was great and the owner was really nice!
Very nice staff and quick service. I had the chicken sandwich, which came with a generous amount of chicken and tasted wonderful.
This is a great find! Korean /Asian cuisine right here in New Westminster! I had the Spicy Pork Cup Bob, and it was very tasty! Mildly Spicy, Kim chi was co good! Jennifer the owner was delightful, & a great host. Take the money you get from the recycling your bottles, at the Sapperton return it centre, to get a great unique meal, its right across the parking lot!!!!!
You will not regret getting the Poutine with extra crispy fries! Definitely one of the best Poutines Ive ever had and my coworker agrees.
Food is excellent. If you are ever craving for a hamburger, this is the place. Best burgers by far.
Love this place. Great food, love the Ramen soup.
Greasy spoon. Quick lunch, serves the industrial area.
Decent honest food, owners/staff are great if overworked, orders can take a little while especially if there are a bunch of other customers. Good pre-made to-go sandwiches, very crispy thin bacon - unburnt, soups are good and chunky. Portions are fine, especially given the price. Very low sodium everything except the sandwich meats which are standard (Sysco?) stuff. If youre working in the area, pretty much the only place within walking distance (the area is 5 minutes walk from Braid station). Cant recommend the burgers though but the buns are ok. Veggies on them are very basic but good quality. Quiet, clean - good place to get a coffee and a snack and have an early afternoon casual off-site one-on-one meeting with a coworker before they close, or a midmorning one, if there isnt an appropriate space on-site. Theyre not prissy about people coming in wearing workwear, but please be respectful - theyre seem overworked already most of the time.
Nice,clean comfortable place to eat
Had lunch here with my family between Laser and Trampolining. I was very happy with the food - simple, basic, clean, and exactly as I expected. Great service, personable staff. The food was not great or amazing. They took simple food and executed it simply. I loved it, but they arent ever going to get a Michelin star. The Guide review below me complaining about breakfast sounds like everything would have been cooked perfect for me, so Im excited to stop in for breakfast one day on the way to work.
Amazing food, kind service. Love this place! Try the lemon chicken.
Always a good lil hole in the wall! Great service and fresh food!
It says its open at 7. Went there for breakfast before work. They dont open till 9, not impressed.
I dont expect much on my first visit here since its in the heart of an industrial area and servicing mostly small shops around. Having said that, their food is always fresh and portioned nicely. I recommended Skeeters burger and their Kimchi Ramyeon. :) yummmm!
this feels like a place frozen in time.
Decent food.. good for breakfast and lunch. Service was nice and friendly. I tried their roast beef sandwich and their apple cake. Both were good. This is an industrial area so its focused on employees and visitors during working hours and I think theyre doing a fair job.
Fresh kind delicious. Lots of menu has individuality and tasty. I highly recommend this place.
I was getting my tires changed in this complex, so decided to try skeeters for breakfast while I waited. Unfortunately the experience was underwhelming at best. I ordered the breakfast special #3 (eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon) and for the price of 9.25$ I was expecting a huge plate of food. The small portion of hash browns that came were soft and very oily. The bacon was tasty however it was much softer than I prefer. The scrambled eggs were well cooked although looked pretty pale. The coffee was very good even though it cost an additional 1.65$ plus 1$ to refill the mug bringing the total to over 11$. The décor is very poor, but since they are catering to industrial workers I wasnt expecting better. I will likely just go to A&W next time Im in the mood and save myself a few dollars. The service here was great though!
