About BAB Korean Food
BAB Korean Food is located inside Kargo MKT at The Quays in Salford, part of the media-city area of Manchester. It's a restaurant, plain and simple. Online reviews are strong, averaging 4.8 stars from 24 reviews. That suggests people are generally happy with what they get. Unfortunately, specific opening hours aren't available online, which could make planning a visit a bit tricky. Kargo MKT itself is a collection of food vendors, so BAB is in a shared space. While this gives you choice, it also means it may lack the dedicated atmosphere of a standalone restaurant. BAB focuses on Korean cuisine. With such a high rating from the available reviews, it's likely they're doing something right in the flavour department. The lack of readily available hours is a definite inconvenience, requiring a bit more effort to figure out when they're open.
