“There was another Korean place I’d go to near Metro Center train station, but when my location changed, the restaurant was too far. SeoulSpice is filling that void. First time trying them and the rice bowl was so flavorful. I usually do not eat spicy foods, but would definitely have the spicy pork again. I also enjoyed the addition of the marinated egg.

The staff were polite and helped me through my selections. You do not have to wait for them to cook your bowl. All the options are ready for them to scoop. They also have gluten free cookies made from rice flour. They were delicious.“

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“

They have best Korean soysauce but surprisingly the most delicious taste is Lemon Pepper sauce, it's so yummy as sweet, bit of salty sour and the price?! No need to argue with their price as too cheap for its deliciousness and value.“

“Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked with an incredible crunch on the outside while staying tender, juicy, and full of flavor on the inside. Every bite had the ideal balance of texture and taste, making it hard to stop eating them. You can tell care went into the preparation because they were neither dry nor greasy—just right. If you're a wing fan, these are absolutely worth trying. They set a new standard for what great wings should be. 🔥🍗“
