Korean Flavors.
New York Energy.

Our Food Philosophy
At Seoul BAP, every dish is a bridge between two worlds. We take the time-honored flavors of Korean home cooking and bring them to life with contemporary technique, premium ingredients, and a distinctly New York spirit. Most of our menu is tapas-style, designed for sharing, exploring, and savoring together.

A Taste
of Korea
“BAP” (밥) means rice, food, and nourishment in Korean. It’s the heart of our name and the soul behind every plate we serve. Founded by two friends with over 20 years in hospitality, Seoul BAP blends tradition with creativity inside the landmark Radio Wave building in NoMad.
Quality Ingredients,
Authentic Flavors
We source market-fresh proteins, seasonal produce, and authentic Korean pantry staples to craft dishes that are as honest as they are delicious. No shortcuts — just bold, balanced cooking that respects the tradition behind every recipe.
