Bada Korean Restaurant – 100% home-made

Diners love Korean barbeques, but those small home-made cold plates of vegetables, kimchi and spiced roots that draw in the crowd night in and night out. At Bada, those 7 delightful cold plates are only the beginning of Bada style home-made dinners.

Bada is an excellent example of a Mama and Papa joint, but this time, it’s the wife Mrs. Sun who looks after the kitchen while Mr. Sun greets the customers out front.

“Actually, I’m a cook too! I prepare the food during off hours.” says Mr. Sun, who also runs a whole/retails Food Company selling authentic Korean dried food using local ingredients. “We export them back to Korea too.” Sun explains.

How good is their home-made food? All it takes is one meal at Bada then you’ll be totally impressed, especially after trying dishes not found elsewhere. Raw Blue Crab in strong pickled marinates; Monk Bean Salad and the Dried Fish Hot-pot Soup.
