the food is amazing! and the service is so fast and I Love how they greet you when you walk in and they are very kind.

Vegetarian options: theres a bit of vegetarian options but sadly there’s no vegan options but if you’re vegetarian i’m pretty sure they have some vegetarian options.

Ate from here on 2 separate occasions, both were takeout. The first time, I only ordered yukgaejang. It was ok but I probably wouldn’t get it again from this location. Came back a second time and ordered bulgogi. Kimchi tasted watery, bulgogi was not very flavourful for some reason(?), gamja jorim was ok. Overall would rate it 3 stars for taste but then I found hair in my food so I’d bump it down to a 2.

My mom and I went there after touring the University just across the LRT tracks, and we were not let down! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was pretty good. I liked the homey feeling of the atmosphere. Definitely a place I would want to return to.

The fire chicken is amazing

We love Korean food and eat it fairly regularly but this was the first time trying Seoul Soul. It was good for what it is. We weren’t disappointed but we weren’t blown away by anything. It’s a casual local restaurant in the student area serving your typical Korean dishes at fair prices.

Service was quick, friendly and attentive. They refilled our side dishes quickly.

We got the kimchi pancake and pork bone soup. The pancake was good. The soup was good but a little too much fat for me. There were lots of pork bone (4 pieces) but just the one piece of potato. We really want to try their fried chicken another time as we hear it’s really good (just wasn’t in the mood for fried chicken that might).

Overall, a decent place for a quick Korean meal. I would say it’s average but have an extra star because they do deliver on what they are. What you see is what you get. They don’t claim to be some fancy Korean restaurant with the best quality food. I would go here over Owl but I do prefer other Korean restaurants in the area.

Parking: It’s in the University Plaza beside the University of Waterloo. There’s a huge lot which can get pretty full depending on when you go but there’s always a few spots available.

This was an old Korean restaurant and the interior was a bit dated. Food was alright. The udon noodles had some thin sliced fish cake only. Service was not bad. They asked us whether we needed more side dishes. A few flies were bothering us while we were eating.

Waitress got my order wrong in her rushed state, got in trouble with her boss, and slammed my correct order on the table not even looking at me or saying a word. Worst service I’ve ever had.
