Urban Seoul 2.0

The food is okay, it's a good fusion spot. The Korean/Mexican play-on-class dishes like tacos, Esquites, and Tteok-bokki are delicious. My only complaint was if you wanted to pay by card you had to spend over $50. That's fine, so now I'm looking for ways to hit $50. I noticed the soju and asked for it. I was never told the price or shown a menu for the liquor so I assumed it would be $9-$11, the usual markup. I had no idea it was $14+ a bottle! I have the same case in my fridge (6 for $27). That's one hell of a markup.

We (group of 8) eat there at 7 pm week Day only one other table of two were eating that was surprising since the mall restaurants were all pretty busy I ordered chicken stirfry the menu highlighted all the vegetables and at the end it stated it is toped with Korean noodles What I got was a big bowl of Korean noodles with microscopic size vegetables in between it would barely qualify as a Chow mein. Extremely tasteless after dinner Not we talked about the food we each had and not a single one of us like their dinner 4 people did not finish the plate even halfway Mexican tacos were extremely dry and tasteless they don’t know how to make Korean food or tacos Service was truly lousy one person 2 tables and yet minimal service There are far better Korean and mexican restaurants all around.A restaurant without any repeat customers is doomed to fail one time customers will not sustain any restaurant. We are locals and will will not eat there again nor recommend it.

Wanted to try this place for a while, was pretty disappointed with what I got. It was not very good and not worth the price. Also the service was terrible. We were one of three tables and we had to go up to the servers multiple times to get help with paying, getting the check, getting menus, and ordering. The servers were not attentive at all and sat on their phones. Very disappointing experience and complete waste of time and money.

The environment and plating was nice. Ordered three different plates, but the food lacked flavor, which was disappointing because it looked great.Could definitely benefit from some more seasoning. The service was lacking as well. Not sure if they were understaffed or really busy, but ya. Cool vibes and aesthetic, but price doesn't seem to be worth it.

Mixed review on this restaurant.Good and attentive service.Chorizo Kimchee fried rice looked good but lacks flavor.Signature Tacos ( street taco size) with gogi was tasty and good.

Very pretty plating and presentation however, it completely lacks flavor. It’s very bland and the pork belly is dry. I ordered this because it said it was a chorizo skillet. There is no chorizo in this dish whatsoever. Pork belly is NOT chorizo. Please change the name of the dish if it’s not going to include the very ingredient it’s named after. Based on other comments, the lack of chorizo was not an accident. I really wanted to like this place sadly, I don’t recommend eating here. Sorry. ?Edit 5/3/2022 in response to owner:You are extremely rude and disrespectful. I am well aware of what chorizo is and looks like. I don't know how you expect to stay in business when your food is not great and you have snarky responses such as "If you have a question, ask your server and not complain" or "by the way, pork belly is pork belly and not chorizo. I know what pork belly is and that it's not chorizo. Oh, by the way, Urban Seoul, did you know that kimchi is a Korean dish made of salted and fermented vegetables? I bet you also didn't know that Seoul is the capital of South Korea. ? Now do you see how rude that is?How do you expect your customers to know that a dish named after an ingredient is not the MAIN ingredient and the burden falls on the customer to ask? That's no different than me advertising a strawberry cake but then serving chocolate then getting upset at the customer for not realizing that the strawberry was mixed into the cake.You could have responded in such a different manner and calmly explained why it would be such an easy mistake for a customer to make given that I am not the only one who complained about the same thing. I was not rude in my review and the tone of your response was unwarranted hence which is why I'm responding in kind. Get a better PR team.This is the owner's response to my initial review in case they delete it:First of all, I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our food. However, our Chorizo Kimchi Fried Rice is mixed with 100% pork chorizo by blender with Kimchi and other ingredients such as bacons. You can not find a piece of chorizo because of this reason. If you have a question, please ask your server not to complain about the fact you don't know. By the way, the pork belly is pork belly not chorizo.

I really liked this place. It was fusion food and at first I thought it would be weird, but I really liked the tacos. Friendly staff and good atmoshpere.

The food didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping it would. Ordering online and the pick up worked flawless other than no parking anyway, have someone drop you of you doing takeout. They have a very nice patio area and the atmosphere outside and inside was very nice

Has to be some of the best food I've ever eaten. Swagged out soundtrack. Bumping pork buns and some sick fries. All worth dying for. Maybe even donating a vital organ for.

I went there for lunch. You have to order first, then seat yourself and they'll bring the food to your table. I wonder if it's due to COVID-19 related staffing shortage. The food is decent. The piggy that they got the pork belly getting must had lots of exercises because there ain't much fat in its belly. Most items are driven by the awesome sauces.

Had the gogi and kalbi sliders. Very good. Could have done without the American cheese. Overall, I would come back!

Loved it. The combination of flavors was delicious and definitely a change from the ordinary. I gave then an A. See my full review on Instagram at South Orange County Eats (@soceats).

Great food here. I usually get the pad Thai or the bibimbop bowl. Admittedly, I've never dined in before as I usually get takeout to bring back to work. With that being said, they're very quick to make the orders and always include utensils and napkins. Staff is really friendly and it's easy to order at the counter from them.

Way over priced for quality and simple foods- I knew it would not be an authentic korean spot by the name, but was wanting to try out some korean fusion foods since I am traveling. Food tasted neither korean or american. Just lack of efforts

Went here after a long day at work because I was craving for some Korean food. The place looks nice and all and staff was friendly, but I was very disappointed with the Chorizo Kimchi Fried Rice Skillet I ordered. It lacked A LOT of basic flavor, basically tasted like nothing. The pork belly was hard and there was no chorizo at all. I paid $23 tip included for a dish that was not very good. I don’t think I will be coming back to this place…
