About This Spot

Stepping into K - DA RAE JUNG, also known as OK BAB Korean Restaurant, feels like entering a happy little corner of Korea tucked away in the heart of Al Khobar. The pace here is unhurried, the kind of place where the lively, colorful decor filled with playful pictures invites you to relax and settle in, making every visit feel familiar and welcoming. It’s a cozy spot where warmth isn’t just from the food but also from the genuine smiles and considerate attention of the people who work here.

The atmosphere strikes a pleasant balance between casual comfort and a sense of shared experience—the kind of place suited for gathering with family or friends, where laughter and quiet conversation meld naturally. The restaurant’s surroundings aren’t noisy or overwhelming, allowing the subtle noises of sizzling dishes and soft chatter to build a soothing background hum throughout your meal.

What truly brings OK BAB to life is how the food and service come together. The kitchen treats Korean classics like spring rolls, bibimbap, and bulgogi not just as recipes but as invitations to savor tradition with a fresh, thoughtful touch. Plates arrive beautifully composed, offering layers of flavor that unfold gently and invite conversation around the table. There’s a clear respect for ingredients and the art of cooking, where each bite feels like a small discovery rather than a rush to satisfy hunger.

Yet beyond the tastes and aromas, the experience is shaped most by the people—those attentive hosts who welcome you as if to their own home, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. It’s these human moments, from the helpful guidance on the menu to the simple joys like a thoughtful small gesture at the end of the meal, that transform a visit into something quietly memorable.

Whether you come for a casual dinner, a special family celebration, or simply to explore authentic Korean flavors in a friendly, unpretentious setting, OK BAB offers a grounded and inviting experience. It’s one of those places where the food and the company linger in a way that makes you look forward to the next visit.

I tried K Bob in Khobar and honestly the food was more than amazing – super delicious and the portions were perfect. The vibes are just great, with fun pictures everywhere that make you feel connected. The staff were super kind and helpful, and the warm welcome was lovely. Special thanks to Princess – she was so sweet and professional. And the cutest part? At the end they give you a nicely peeled orange. It may sound simple, but trust me, it’s such a sweet touch!

I had such a wonderful experience at this Korean restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients and put a lot of care into each meal. What made the experience even more special was the owner. So friendly and welcoming — it felt more like visiting a friend’s home than just dining out.

This is my favorite restaurant and it’s always been high quality with delicious food. But this time, my favorite dish really disappointed me. It’s the sixth time I try it and it still let me down. It had no flavor, was too oily, and didn’t taste good at all — it even made us feel sick.

I can’t believe we finally found the perfect spot for Korean food, everything was absolutely delicious! I’m literally craving the kimchi soup as I’m writing this. Lea and Noufas were amazing and made the experience even better, so kind and welcoming! Here are my ratings: • Bibimbap 100/10 • Kimchi fried rice 10/10 • Kimbap 10/10 • Rabokki 7/10 We’ll definitely be going back very soon! Their kimchi is out of this world, so authentic and full of flavor!

I’d like to speak honestly about my experience. This is not my first time visiting this restaurant, and every time I come, they continue to impress me. They are always improving and striving for the best, and I truly consider it one of the top Korean restaurants in the Eastern Province. As for the staff, they are all highly professional, but I would like to specifically mention Lia (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She is always the best — her warm welcome, beautiful smile, and respectful attitude make me feel completely at ease every time I visit. She is always dedicated to making sure the service is excellent. Every time I come to the restaurant, she helps me choose the dishes and always checks in to see if I need anything. I’m very grateful to her, and also to the restaurant owner for being so careful in selecting such great employees. Having someone with her level of professionalism and elegance is not easy to find. I recommend anyone visiting the restaurant to ask for her — you’ll be glad you did. I truly hope she receives a promotion or a reward — she definitely deserves it.
