" What a delightful find OB Bear turned out to be! The atmosphere has an authentic Korean pub feel which is enjoyable and warm. The fried chicken is definitely the highlight of the menu. We also ordered a variety of appetizers that were delightful. While the service was friendly, it did take a while for some of our dishes to arrive. Nonetheless, a place I would enthusiastically recommend visiting for good Korean comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" OB Bear is a must-visit if you appreciate authentic Korean fried chicken. I’ve tried their whole fried chicken before and it was phenomenal! This place has a great selection of drinks to accompany your meals. The atmosphere is always lively, and I enjoy the rustic feel of the restaurant. Although they might get busy, the food makes it all worth it. Highly recommended for a late-night food craving! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for OB Bear given its reputation, but I left slightly disappointed. The atmosphere is definitely fun, with a lively crowd on a Friday night. I found the food decent; however, I was expecting something outstanding. The wings were sweet rather than spicy and fell short on the flavor I had imagined. I might return to give it another shot, but it wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped. All in all, it was okay! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to OB Bear was quite disappointing. While the atmosphere was lively and the beer selection was great, the food didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered the full fried chicken, which was essentially bland, and waited forever for service. At one point, I even saw other tables, who arrived after me, getting served first. For a place known for its chicken, it felt more like just another bar serving mediocre pub fare. The high prices left me feeling cheated rather than satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional experience at OB Bear. The fried chicken is honestly some of the best I've ever had outside of Korea. The crunchiness and tenderness of the meat were simply amazing, complemented perfectly by the spicy sauce. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was prompt, making it a solid choice for a group outing. I would definitely recommend their seafood pancakes as well – they could use a bit more filling, but they're delicious nonetheless. I am already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to give OB Bear a shot with friends over the weekend. The atmosphere was festive, and we started with the fried chicken, which was crispy but could use more seasoning. The seafood pancake was a great choice too! The service had its delays, but since we were enjoying our drinks and good company, we didn’t mind much. Overall, worth a visit if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try OB Bear after hearing rave reviews, but I was left feeling just 'meh' about my visit. The food, particularly the fried chicken, was just okay and not as flavorful as I had anticipated. The service was also lackluster. The atmosphere was fun but a bit cramped. I hope they can improve because I really wanted to love it! " (*Curated Review*)
