Basag by Chow: Korean Street Eats Delivered in Lisbon

Tucked into Rua Tomás Ribeiro, Basag is part of the Street Chow family—just like Grain and PThai—but it’s focused on Korean flavours instead. There’s no dine-in, just carefully crafted, fast delivery of street-inspired dishes using fresh Portuguese ingredients.

Reputation & First Impressions

On Glovo, Basag is rated at about 91%, sitting confidently among Lisbon’s best-rated Asian delivery brands. The Uber Eats listing shows a 4.6‑star rating from over 2,000 reviews, which is on par with other Chow kitchens. Customers routinely mention it in the context of consistent service and bold, clean sandwiches and bowls.

The Menu at a Glance

Basag keeps things tight but full of flavour. The menu is built around Korean-style fried chicken burgers, crispy chicken bites, salad bowls and a handful of sides, sauces, and vegan-friendly desserts.

Key menu items include:

Kick‑Ass Fried Chicken Burger (€11.90): Spicy, crispy chicken with gochujang/sriracha mayo, homemade pickles and lettuce. A firm favourite.
Umami Burger (€11.90): Slight chilli mayo, crunchy slaw and crisp cabbage slices. Light heat, big flavour.
Banh Mi Burger (€11.90): A playful riff on Vietnamese-style banh mi—a chicken patty, carrot pickle, mint, coriander and “magic” sauce.
Salad Bowl with Crispy Chicken (€13.50): Tender chicken over organic salad, rice, ginger-carrot ribbons, cucumber and sesame sauce.
Popcorn Fried Chicken, Hot Star Fried Chicken or spicy variants (€11.90): Bite-size, punchy Korean fried chicken in crunchy batter.

Combos & Sharing Options:

Burger Combo (burger + side + drink) – €15.90
Séoul Combo (burger + seasoned potato wedges) – €15.90
Crispy Combo (6 pieces of fried chicken + side + drink) – €15.90
Mad Combo (Hot Star Chicken + side + drink) – €15.90
Menu Street Chow (€32.90): A cross-brand combo including a Grain Bo Bun salad, fresh spring rolls and 6‑piece XL chicken from Basag.

Vegan & Dessert Choices:

Mango Sticky Rice and Coconut Tapioca Pearl Pudding (both €4.90) round things off with sweet plant-based cheer.

Taste, Packaging & Quality

Flavours skew bright and bold—the kind of Korean street food you’d find in Seoul. The crispy chicken keeps its crunch in transit; sauces are well-packaged to stop sogginess. Burgers balance spice, tang and crunch. Vegetable sides like coleslaw bring freshness and a sesame dressing adds a nutty depth.

Even the sweet treats feel considered: light coconut richness, fresh banana or mango, not cloyingly sugary. Portions tend to be generous for protein dishes and mid-sized for desserts.

Delivery Experience

Delivered via Glovo and Uber Eats, expect orders to arrive within 30–50 minutes, depending on time of day and location. On Uber Eats, it lists as delivered by store staff, saving on third-party delays. Packaging is neat—drinks, sauces, cutlery or chopsticks included on request.

Platform ratings place it firmly among Lisbon’s top international delivery kitchens.

How Basag Compares Locally

Basag isn’t trying to be a full Korean sit-down experience—that’s not the gig. Street Chow states that clearly: small kitchens, focused menus, delivery-first. Compared to Grain or PThai, it’s louder in spice and richer in comfort food flavours, but similarly fast and consistent. It sits alongside Lisbon favourites for Korean delivery and burger lovers alike.

Should You Order from Basag?

Basag is ideal if you’re craving:

✅ A satisfying Korean-style burger or crispy chicken dish

✅ Bold sauces, pickles, slaw and texture contrasts

✅ Combo deals that make ordering for two or takeaway quick

✅ Vegan-friendly sweet options like mango rice or coconut pudding

Best Picks That Stand Out

Kick‑Ass Fried Chicken Burger – spicy, crunchy and tangy
Umami or Banh Mi Burger – flavour twists in each bite
Popcorn or Hot Star Chicken – great for sharing or snacking
Street Chow Menu Trio if ordering across Grain for variety
Coleslaw or potato wedges with a sesame or kimchi-style edge
Dessert: Mango sticky rice or coconut tapioca for a sweet vegan finish
