Emily's review of Barbam NYC
Koreatown, Manhattan
●10.0
Can we all collectively promise to gatekeep this place 🫶
Every drink I tried was a hit. Light drinks were crisp and clean, richer drinks had a full bodied flavor and a creamier mouth feel. Double chicken WHO
On the menu, they specify which cocktails are stronger and sweeter. Every drink I gravitated towards was high on the sweetness axis but even then they found a way to calibrate the sweetness level so that even the “sweetest” drinks were not too sweet 🙇♀️
Definitely try the
NAENGMYEON (sooo unique and refreshing)
HADONG FESTIVAL (strong matcha flavor with a creamier texture because of the red bean)
OEDO BOTANIA (light and floral)
Skip the food (the fried chicken had a somewhat thick and gummy coating that was far from delightful)
Service was just fine because it took a while to get them to take our order. A tad pricey but kind of worth 🙈
