Seoul N Spirits BBQ 서울 바베큐

Came in for a quick bite, got bit by mosquitoes all over my arms and ankles. 8 mosquito bites to be exact. There is also a nimble fly just circulating around the food the entire time.

Did they even pass the health inspection?????

I am visiting from the East Coast and I was craving korean bbq! There were quite a lot of all you can eat places but skip those and EAT HERE!!! The meats are TOP QUALITY, the service is wonderful, and the restaurant is clean!! The quality of food is soo delicious - I tried stews, meats, noodles, and all the side dishes!! Come eat here for dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!

Really enjoyed dining here! The service is excellent and all the food is delicious. Fresh quality meat, and loved the japchae and Kim chi pancake too and the Kim chi soup!. Will definitely return

Meat quality higher than avg. service awful. We ordered combo but forget giving us soup until the end of the meal. Not a variety of side dish and the provided side dishes are not good. Meat are on the grill til it’s burnt. Entire restaurant 3 tables and service is still crazy slow. Kimchi soup has nothing in it. We spent 100 dollars + and we’re barely full.

Was craving kbbq so came here and it’s a learning curve i suppose. Quality is good but not for the price. Outrageous prices!!!! The servers come around and cook for you and disturb conversations and the vibe. I personally don’t like that and if i had known would not have gone. It’s so awkward. Spent $280 for 3 meat dishes and 2 beers HAHAHAHAHAHAHA jokes on meeeee

The best kbbq in turtle rock area…not sure why it’s not busier, but hopefully they catch on so we continue to have this option! Meats are high quality/well marbled and sides are good.

Came here during lunch. Server Tieana greeted us and was very friendly. We got the combo with glass noodles and egg on the side. Food was delicious 😋.

Seoul n Spirits Korean BBQ in Irvine deserves a solid 5-star shoutout! The moment you walk in, the warm, smoky aroma of grilling meat greets you like a hug from a long-lost friend. The staff is attentive, making sure your grill is always sizzling, and they know just when to bring more banchan without even being asked. The meat quality is top-notch; tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Pair that with their signature cocktails, and it’s an experience that’s just as much about the atmosphere as it is the food. If you're in Irvine and craving authentic K-BBQ, this place is a must-visit!

Excellent, the food and the service. Everything including all of the accompaniments were delishish. The cheese corn was the best I have ever had. The meat was fresh and the portions were generous. We will be back.

My two kids, wife, and I went there for lunch on a Saturday. They service the grilling for you as a default, and it gives you more time to enjoy the food if you can appreciate it. Staff were super kind to my wife and kids, and the meat quality was top notch the day I went! I was really tempted to drink with all the good meat. Would recommend it!

Kid-friendliness: Staff grilled the meat and cut some of it into smaller pieces for the kids to enjoy.

Food was very delicious, but we don’t eat pork for religious reasons and when we ordered the kimchi soup, no one informed us that it has pork in it.

At some point in our conversations with the waitress, we mentioned that we don’t eat pork. I think it was an honest mistake, but all I got from them was “oh yeah it has pork.” Followed by a thank you and good bye.

To be honest, not only am I disappointed but I am infuriated. Never had pork in my life and it was not dealt with in a professional manner.

If you are looking for quality Korean barbecue, this is definitely the spot you will not regret.
