“The pork bone soup is pretty good with a mild spicy flavour and you definitely good value for your money even without the complimentary side dishes of pork slivers, kimchi and bean sprouts. It hit the spot as I was feeling under the weather and I don’t believe you can a bone broth anywhere else in this area. Would be even better if they had a non spicy option.“

“My boyfriend and I absolutely love the taste of their yang yum red chicken! I've only been to a Korean BBQ so to find something like this small place in Waterloo is perfect. I original came for the kimbap but fell in love with the chicken and bulgolgi bao sandwich. Highly recommend the yang yum meal set because it comes with so much and the japchae noodles are delicious!“

“The food here is always really good and affordable, especially for two people. My usual order is the volcano chicken cold ramen and the spicy fried rice cakes. Both are packed with flavor and never disappoint. The portion sizes are amazing so you definitely get good value. not to mention they have HALAL options as well which is definitely a plus.
The service is also great. The staff are friendly and quick to help with anything you need. The place has a relaxed type of vibe, which makes it perfect for a casual meal.
It’s easily my go to spot whenever I’m in Waterloo area.“

“Fantastic wings - best I have ever had. Everything was superb except the music was too loud: we couldn't hear one another talk.“

“One of the best kimbap I’ve ever tried. LooBabBab goes way beyond your typical kimbap — it’s truly on another level. The food is incredibly fresh, well-seasoned, and feels healthy without compromising flavour. I love that the ingredients taste clean and high-quality. Portions are just right and perfect for a nutritious meal on the go. Definitely a hidden gem!“

“I've been here probably 3 or 4 times in the last year because it's become the dinner location for a lot of chats and events! The portion sizes are well thought out, especially considering that sides can be asked to be refilled multiple times, and its made up by the quality of the meat. Theres always a fun drink on the menu as well (pictured below) that I end up picking, and its really easy to chat with the people at the table because all of the tables are booths!“

“Famous charcoal outdoor Korean bbq. Best Korean frozen Soju place in the city.“

“Staff was friendly and patient when helping me out. It was my first time there. Service was quick.“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“In my opinion, this resto is underrated here in Google compared to other nearby restos. This is one of the best Korean resto we’ve been to, in terms of taste and value for money. Their free kimchi is homemade and taste really good compared to store-bought ones. We ordered jjajangmyeon, beef bulgogi, pork cutlet and seafood tofu stew and they all taste really great! The umami flavour we were looking for. The service is fast and the guy was very courteous. He even offered us if we wanted more side dishes. We asked for kimchi refill and he gave us a really good serving. Unfortunately, we missed to take pictures of the food.

The owner I think is Korean, so you’ll get a real taste of Korean cuisine. The atmosphere is not fancy nor cozy, but gives you a homey ambience.“

“Great food. Lots of varieties to choose from. Seems very popular with the university students. Well run restaurant - appears to be family run. Very friendly and polite. Enjoyed the smoothie and drinks as well. If you are looking for good wholesome Korean food, I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Loved the Bulgogi Bibimbap, BulGoGi Ddukbaeki and Jjang Myun noodles. Will be returning here to try out other items on the menu.“

“Very impressed. Ordered takeout over the phone. It was hot and ready for when I asked for it. Discount for paying cash, love that!

Got the large boneless fried chicken, spicy&sweet and honey garlic. Also got the Seoul potatoes. Fed my family of four, with leftovers, for 45bucks(taxes inc)! All fresh and nice. Gonna add it to the takeout rotation.

Nicely done, Seoul Soul!“

“Ordered the rice cakes with ramen and seasoned fried chicken. We asked for less spicy and the rice cakes came watery… still tasted good but diluted. Fried chicken was BOMB, gochujangy sweet and saucy.

The lady who served us was very sweet and attentive.“
