Seoul Fried Chicken Korean • $$
2400 San Pablo Avenue, Pinole

“The food is much more authentic or better to say meets my expectation than other Korean restaurants I’d been. It is still sweet I’d say, but much less than others. Main dish was great, and even the side dish was fresh and tasty. I’d come more often if they can cook it without or a tiny bit of sugar. Overall, it is a very good Korean restaurant.“

“Got there in time for both lunch (12-4pm) and happy hour (3-5pm) so enjoyed their lunch meal along with $2 off a beer.

The lunch meal can be enough for two people since we left stuffed and still took some to-go. The food was delicious and served quickly so no complaints there.

Only annoying thing was little knats and flies flying around while we ate but not sure how they'll control that besides closing door.“

“We loved this place! The food felt really authentic and everything we tried was delicious and high quality. We especially liked the banchan. The kimchi was excellent too.

The service was also very friendly, and overall we had a great experience. We would definitely come back. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait because this place is popular. we went on a Monday evening and it was still quite busy. Parking can be tough too. Definitely worth the wait!“

“I come here almost every week, it's my go-to for filling and fulfilling Korean food. I usually get bulgogi and japchae, although I've tried most of the menu at one point or another and can say it's all very high quality, especially their fried chicken. The side dishes are also fantastic. The staff here are also really lovely and attentive and will refill the side dishes if you ask. I love coming here and highly recommend this place!“

The server offered extra sauce and rice if we needed it, but the basic serving was filling enough for us. We'll be back to try some of their other dishes.“

“So glad to find out they reopened after being closed a while during the pandemic. Currently you have to pre-order a day in advance for pickup so it takes a little planning but so worth it.Their fried chicken is so crispy. I ordered it with waffle fries and they say they only fire up the fries just before your pickup time so that they're fresh. When I went to pick up my order, they let me know it would just be a few minutes because the fries were finishing and when he came out with my order, he said he accidentally made the salad but included both the fries and salad and threw in a vanilla pudding. Everything was so delicious. Even the bonus pudding had flecks of vanilla bean and tasted so much better than the instant stuff. The chicken and fries were enough for 2 meals.“

There are several large indoor tables that can accommodate large groups. The same is true outdoors in front of the restaurant.

The pace caters to students and dies a good job. The food is abundant and simple. Solid choice but don't expect a sophisticated food experience.“

“This place is excellent! I agree with all of the positive reviews. We had excellent service. Excellent portions. No problems with 2nds or 3rds or 4ths. WOW! When the grill got to much chard and started to smoke a little they would change it for a fresh clean one. They changed ours about 4 or 5 times. I'm sorry for anyone who had a bad experience. Go during a weeknight. Ask for a different server. Try not to waste or overcook your food. Be courteous and patient to get a table. But just keep ordering every chance you get. Keep the food moving on the grill and order wings, dumplings, sushi and calamari etc. Work with them and they'll work for you! Happy grilling!“

“The food was pretty good, though from what I've seen the prices are pretty high. GBO gave us an item included, but otherwise, even though the food tastes good and has great portions, it's very expensive.

Also, for any GBOers who see this, the spicy rice cakes (Tteokbokki) is not portioned for a full meal!

Otherwise the dine out area is quite nice!

Vegetarian options: There is the miso tofu ramen and maybe one other option, so vegetarians won't be left out!“
