I enjoyed meal. Street parking was only 2 hours so we were worried we'll get ticket. Again, Kitchener don't ticket as often as Toronto?”

    “A Delicious Surprise at Seoul Soul in Waterloo! 🍚🔥 Had a really nice experience at Seoul Soul in Waterloo! I tried the Manchurian balls and fried rice, and both were absolutely delicious. The Manchurian balls were packed with flavour, and the fried rice made for a perfect combination. It was one of those meals where you start eating and quickly realize you’ve found something worth coming back for! 😋 What made the experience even more interesting is that this isn’t an Indian Chinese restaurant, which makes the flavourful Manchurian-style dish a fun discovery. As someone who enjoys exploring different cuisines and trying unique food combinations, I always appreciate places that offer something a little different from the usual. The Manchurian balls paired with fried rice made for a satisfying meal, with a great balance of textures and flavours. If you’re in Waterloo and looking to try something different, Seoul Soul is worth checking out. I love discovering hidden food gems around Waterloo Region, and this was definitely a satisfying stop for anyone who enjoys flavourful rice dishes and tasty bites. Verdict: Delicious food, a great combination, and a satisfying meal! Definitely worth trying if you’re in the area. 🍚❤”
