For a restaurant named after Korean BBQ, I'm slightly ashamed to admit I've never tried their meats. That said, this restaurant is one of few decent Korean spots outside of Fort Lee and Palisades Park. As such, it's become a return spot for our family members who live fairly local.
As soon as you sit down, the default beverage offered is warm barley tea (which is much appreciated during those colder winter visits). The banchan, or side dishes, are few but a little more robust here than other Korean restaurants. During my last visit, we were given plates of standard kimchi, sprouts, and seasoned broccoli. I was also surprised to find pumpkin-egg salad, soy marinated lotus root, and soy-marinated ribeye pieces. The offerings change a little from visit to visit, but they're always decent to downright delicious.
While I've not been wowed by anything from the menu, I've found most of the meals to be predictable. Hot stone bibimbap is my regular order, and I love the different proteins they offer here for mixed rice dishes. For those curious about the barbecue but unwilling to pay the high sticker price for a full entree, you can try the galbi, bulgogi, and spicy pork atop a bibimbap. During my last visit, I was delighted by the salmon hot stone bibimbap, which came with a great teriyaki marinade. My regular complaint with Seoul Galbi's bibimbap is that the hot stone has never gotten hot enough for my rice to char and crisp (which is arguably the best part of ordering it on a hot stone. Otherwise, why else would one pay the elevated prices?).
When it comes to decor and ambiance, the restaurant is fairly no frills. As far as service goes, the waitresses have always been quick - quick to order, quick to serve, and quick to refill glasses (or, when asked, the side dishes). I also appreciate how slow they are to deliver the check, allowing conversations to linger. When my family and I came with a cake for a family member, the auntie serving our table not only came by with extra plates and silverware, she clapped and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song as boisterously as we.

Pricing on google menu is incorrectā¦ Tried letting the cashier know and she made it seems like I was stupid because I didnāt know that was not updated! I said then you should change it, itās misleading and she gave me the only attitudeā¦ paid the extra $4.00 for beef bone broth soupā¦ Starving, hoping for the bestā¦ Meat taste old and grayā¦ Extremely disappointing

We went with high expectations based on the reviews, but unfortunately, our experience didnāt go well. The place seemed dirty to us, and the waitress wasnāt patient enough to explain things clearly. Although the service was good and fast, the food didnāt meet our expectations. The prices were fair for what we ate, but we honestly didnāt enjoy the meal. I donāt think we would return. Iām sorry to leave this comment, but thatās how we felt.

First off - I am Korean so I have been to plenty of BBQ restaurantsā¦ including NYC and Korea.
Service is seriously the worst. They are so rude. Talking about customers right in front of them as they walk away from the tables. Food isnāt good either and portions are extremely small. Advertising you get extra portion of beef for free but thatās all nonsense.
If I want Korean food, I will always drive to palisades park!
My only complaint is that this place is a little expensive for what it is. This is a great family restaurant place. The KBBQ is a bit expensive and I didn't get it. Instead i got Bulgulgi (Kitchen) and some Bimbimbap.
Both were great. Would come back again.

Love having a Korean restaurant in this area stay open and have the great atmosphere that Seoul Galbi provides. There are usually seats available and rarely does get full.The food itself is a little pricy but the quality of service and food makes up for it and is worth it for anyone nearby! Plenty of parking is available and drinks as well.

I am Korean so I know how Korean BBQ should be. Also I donāt write reviews unless they are exceptionally good or exceptionally terrible. We normally drive out to Fort Lee or Palisades Park but we gave a try last night. It was horrible decision! We ordered marinated galbi but it tasted very bland and my husband even stopped the server and asked if they were āmarinatedā. Galbi was very thin and tough. I almost chocked and had to cough out few times. Also very small portion. My daughters love galbi so we normally order extra but after 3 pieces, my older one said they were bad and my younger one took one bite and she was done. She only had rice and steamed egg. Hope the owner or management read this. If you want Korean BBQ, pls donāt eat here.
