Seoul Soondubu - Korean BBQ

In 2021 I came here twice to eat with just ONE other friend. To my surprise, only 3 dishes already cost $70+ because the restaurant automatically added their tips and fees. When the bill came out, I was shocked. The food was not that fancy or amazing to the point to justify the cost. Now in 2026, I came back and tried again if the food, price, and quality were improved. Sadly, it is still not. Food is still so expensive even just eating by myself.

My friend and I love having lunch here! She’s obsessed with the hot stone chicken bibimbap, and the kimchi pancake is absolutely delicious — definitely a must-try. I always get the short ribs because they’re tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The tteokbokki with cheese is another favorite of mine. My husband loves their seafood pancake — sooo good! Highly recommend this place!

Went on a Saturday 3PM, not busy at all (almost empty) and the vibes were good. Didn’t do bbq but ordered at the table, portions huge!! Would go back again for the pancakes. I think we spent on the higher end of the $10-20 range per dish

My first time eating here with my friends. Children had tablets and server helped with connection of their Wi-Fi service. Atmosphere was great. Everybody there was so friendly. The food was nice and hot when we received it. And the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come here again.

We stopped by this BBQ place on our way to Lake Tahoe. Didn’t expect it to be all-you-can-eat BBQ. Service was decent, and the meat was good. Feels about right for its 4.4 rating.

BEST mom and pop restaurant in Stockton! It is the only Korean restaurant that is also Korean owned (to my knowledge). Something really neat is that you get two options when you walk in: dine in (pay per item) or AYCE (all you can eat). This means you can either have your food cooked for you, or you grill your own meat. I have been eating here since I was a teenager. The food is delicious 100% of the time. The owners and staff truly make you feel like you are at home. If you are 21+ and you show up on a busy night, you can ask to wait at the bar until your table is ready. They even have karaoke and makgeolli (Korean rice wine). Restaurants come and go on miracle mile. There’s a reason why this place has been here for so many years.

This is my favorite restaurant of all time!!!!! No matter where I go, I still end up craving this restaurant first. If you have never had authentic Korean cuisine, I highly recommend trying it here. If it’s your first time, just tell the staff what you’re in the mood for. They will surely recommend something delicious! I have never been disappointed here. This place truly makes me proud to be a part of the community of Stockton. We always leave with a happy belly and lots of laughter. 😁

I had a good time at this Korean BBQ spot. The concept is fun—90 minutes of all-you-can-eat, and the meat was definitely good quality. Once you finish what’s on your grill, the server brings out the next round for you to cook, which keeps the flow going nicely.

That said, I found it to be extremely pricey for what it is. They also charge a waste fee if you don’t finish what you order, so keep that in mind. It’s a cool experience and worth trying, but probably better saved for a special occasion rather than a casual night out.

Place is one of the best Korean BBQ’s I’ve ever been to, great service and awesome quality meat and sides, very friendly and fair prices too!

Everything about this place is a 10/10. I went here for the first time months ago and I still think about this place all the time. The staff and owner were great! I always wanted to try Korean food but there isn't anything like this near me. The food, soju, vibes, basically everything was awesome!!! I will definitely be making my way back more often 😋
