I have been bringing my family to this restaurant for over 2 years driving down from Delaware County. I had never encountered the RACIST owner before today. He stood at the counter refusing ro acknowledge my presence and it took his daughter to come over to serve me. When I came back in to pick up my food, I again was standing at the counter and he walked pass me to acknowledge the white customers who came in behind me. Lesson learned, he does not want the black business. Noted, I will not be back!

Extremely deceptive pricing, hidden markups, hidden addons. Food is normal, service normal.

Good local spot for Korean food. Great portions and quality, my only complaint was that they only had 3 types of banchan.

Lovely people run a very creditable Korean food outpost. Very solid output from the kitchen. Its not perfection (and the bathroom could use some attention) but worth a spot on your regular rotation.

We had a fantastic meal here. I particularly enjoyed the drinks, the bibimbap, and the appetizers. I also very much appreciate mushrooms being an option for most dishes.

We go there every time with my husband because the people who work there are the most thoughtful, hospitable, and caring people in town! Sena has always impressed me with how she realized who I was and what my name was on the phone when I called to make an appointment, always remembered that I was gluten free and made sure that I got the best service even on Bam Bam’s busiest days! I totally recommend their Bibimbap. My husband has almost tried everything on the menu and he loves them too. But again, nothing can beat Sena’s and other staff’s hospitality. We will go back again and again!

Food was not bad but service was little below average.Be careful. They charge extra for small amount of meat and egg which should be included in Bibimbab( rice with mixed veggies). It made the price ~$5

Banchan was amazing, Korean fried rice was the best I've had on the East Coast, and the price was unbeatable. This place is a BYOB.

Unfriendly service. One of the staff had an attitude. Other than that, good food and decent price.
One of the best Korean restaurants in the area! Small place get busy with only 2 servers. Seafood pancakes, Bibimbap, LA Galbi, Galbi Tang are all delicious! Parking is difficult to find on weekend.

Toufu soup is not bad, good choice for winter, but there is not too much content in the soup. Complimentary small cold dishes like raddish are also nice. Pancakes are a bit different from what I expected, its very soft instead of crispy.

Food and service were amazing and we plan to return when in the area again. True to spice indicators so plan your order according to what you truly believe you can handle.

We went to Bam Bam when the restaurant that had been recommended to us couldn't seat us for several hours. What a happy switch! We loved everything we ordered, especially the tteok-bokki. Delicious! Service was cheerful & efficient (despite how busy they were). We can't wait to come back.

Cozy little Korean spot in Ardmore. It is a bit cramped but this is the first Korean restaurant I’ve been to that did not serve alcohol. Likely due to licensing?The seafood pancake was disappointing, worse I’ve ever had. But still decent enough to finish.Stirfry pork and japchae were delicious. Portions are also decently large. I was able to take portions to go.
