Amazing mom and pop Korean food. Low ratings most likely from Americans who don't know what they are talking about

Hola Seoul is a unique spot that I really like because it brings the charm of another culture’s cuisine. While I wouldn't call the food experience exceptional, the service really won me over all three times I visited. It's clear that the management genuinely cares about their guests, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The overall combination of drinks, food, and great service makes it worth visiting. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area.

Beware of online ordering. Ordered online and it sent a confirmation stating the Ann Arbor location. Called 5 times to cancel and no answer, this location in Novi was reluctant to help.

🤮 this place is a complete mess and I won't be back. I do not recommend a visit.
1. You get there and can hardly find the place because it's under a different name. Hola Seoul had no exterior sign and is INSIDE a kbbq sit down restaurant, except guess what? The hola part is carry out!? (Or maybe just carry out for ppl who look like me? 🤦🏾♂️) Um...ok?
2. Next, the menu price they post on their window and on Google are completely off. They deceptively increased the price by $2+ dollars on all their items without saying so or changing the menu to reflect that, so that you order and are left holding the bag. Other reviews have also written this and it's true. Also check my reciept pictured below. This is unacceptably deceitful.
3. Service at the counter is cold. Server/cashier is rushed and makes sure you don't feel welcome. Atypical of a Korean establishment.
4. Food is hit or miss. The kimchi fries were cold but the popcorn chicken was pretty decent which is the only reason I'm giving it above one star.
Bottom line: there's plenty of Korean restaurants in the area. Save your money and safe your time -- don't bother ordering food from Hola Seoul. 🤮🤮👎🏼

*UPDATE* When they remade my vegetarian/glutton free tacos, they threw in the special surprise of a small dead fish. Will not be ordering again, this is wild and beyond disappointing..I order food from here regularly, but today they made my order incorrectly with flour instead of corn tortillas and proceeded to fight with me about the ingredients of the tortillas (as if I can't tell the difference between rice/glutton/corn tortillas?) Not great service, but I do (normally) love the food.
Vegetarian options: I used to like this place because of the vegetarian options until they added a small dead fish to one of my orders because there was a mistake and I asked them to remake it...
Bad food will not recommend to anyone carry out chicken was no spicy n was very dry spicy taco this chef’s does not know what spicy mean waste of money n tym as far as concerned never ever n will post this again n again

I’ve only ever ordered the veggie giant dumplings and the Korean corn dog. Dumplings are fantastic! The corn dogs on the other hand are literally just fried cheese no meat. Ordered a second time giving benefit of the doubt that maybe bad shipment/order if it isn’t done in house. Nope still. I’m sitting here eating friend cheese on a stick covered in sugar ? It’s good don’t get me wrong but I want a corn dog not fried cheese.

This restaurant feels like home to me. I grew up with a Korean mother and grandmother who married my father in the military. I love their food. It's always fresh and traditional. I hope more people come try it. It's slightly more expensive then the average Japanese cuisine place but it's worth it because it's actually Korean. They also carry Cass beer ?. I couldn't be more happy with them and my experience. I've been here 6times now every other Saturday waiting for a mishap, but they always give best quality of service. They also have grilling at the table with a griddle. The meat quality is outstanding and as fresh as it gets.I didn't realize there were so many people upset that this place has a different name then before. I think it has a new owner and it really isn't their fault since they don't speak English and mainly Korean. They're incredibly hard working and it's a shame so many people are inconsiderate to this unknowingly. I will express this to them and try to bring it to their attention since they seem to be unaware of it.I would also like to address that in Korean culture just like in Japanese, they can seem cold or distant but really they're very respectful and just introverted in most cases. Please try to be understanding to another cultures ways and not just their food when exploring outside of our normal realms of culture. Thank you for reading. I hope more people can give this place a chance in the future.
