Seoul Korean BBQ and Hot Pot

First time trying Korean bbq. Our waitress Esther was super sweet and explained everything to a T. The marinated beef and chicken were tasty and the short rib she suggested was delish. We’ll definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently dined at Seoul Korean BBQ, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting that set the perfect mood for a hearty meal.

The highlight of the evening was the quality of the meat. We ordered a variety of options, including marinated galbi and beef brisket, which were grilled to perfection right at our table. Appetizers were also a delight-each one was fresh and full of flavor.

Our server, Mitchell was exceptional. He was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and offering great recommendations. Mitchell’s enthusiasm for the food really added to the experience; he ensured our grill was always well-maintained and even shared tips on how to best enjoy each dish.

Overall,Seoul Korean BBQ exceeded my expectations. The combination of delicious food and top-notch service made for a memorable night. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you can have Mitchell as your server!

Exactly as expected - heaping portions, do it yourself cooking, good value if you're eating a lot. Drinks are relatively cheap - $5 draft beers, $8 glasses of wine and $20 bottles. $31 or $36 per person depending on whether you're having just BBQ or hot pot, or both. Service was good, and everything is included - appetizers, main meal, dessert. We'll definitely be back.

Parking: Lots of parking.

Our server, Vincent, was AMAZING. He was so patient because this was our first KBBQ and hotpot experience. He explained everything to us and made it so much fun!!! The food was great, but I didn’t utilize the e sauce bar like you’re supposed to so I’ll be doing that next time we go. The BBQ was awesome! The garlic shrimp were a huge hit with my 7 yr old daughter. The crab legs were the same, as well as for her dad. I loved the seafood and vegerable options.

The only possible downside to our visit was a particularly rowdy table of young men that kept yelling loudly and being typical young men. Finally we found a manager(?) or supervisor and asked her to address it. I’m not being a Karen. They were REALLY LOUD. However she addressed it and the noise lowered to a level of excitement rather than Pantera concert. All in all, I’m in love and literally had a dream about the hotpot that night, lol.

And did I mention Vincent, our server? AMAZING YOUNG MAN!!!!

Vegetarian options: Not only a nice selection, but the vegetables were beautiful and fresh!

Went for the grand opening and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our server was Soap and he was very attentive and friendly even with how busy it was. The service was smooth and efficient. The food we tried was flavorful and delicious. The beef bulgogi and garlic chicken were my favorite. I was not a huge fan of the tomato hot pot base and would just do the BBQ option in the future. The sauce bar was clean and well stocked and even included fruit and dessert options. We will definitely be back

This is not a real Korean restaurant. Where’s the banchan?! Food quality is not fresh or good. Lots of ingredients and dishes you see at a Chinese restaurant and not in a KBBQ restaurant.

I've been looking forward to this restaurant since they first put the signs up and I'm so happy! Went for the soft opening with a party of 6, and they did a lovely job! The options on the menu surpass even that of KBBQ I've had in Philly. Excited to try the hot pot another time. Drinks, meats, and sauces were all awesome. Highly recommend their Mojitos and the house sauce!
My recommendations for improvement are as follows, simply just for suggestion since I know it's a brand new restaurant and will take some adjustment!
(EDIT: They now serve butter with meals! Everything was perfect my second time visiting!) Serving butter with the initial plate of meats would be smart as it's needed to prevent the grill from charring so fast. We had to ask for it which was no big deal but it definitely would've prevented our first plate of meat from getting so charred! Also would be great for waiters to replace grills more frequently!
Those are honestly my only criticisms, which are easy fixes that will come with time :)

So, we decided to take advantage of the unlimited crab leg promo and had an amazing time! Our server was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the BBQ and hot pot dinner combo for two, and we couldn’t resist trying some of the dishes off the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce station was a great way to customize our dipping sauce. The broth for our hot pot was to die for. It was a pretty good date night, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Not terrible, but KPot, which this place is veeeerrry similar to, is better overall. The Kbbq options don't offer many marinaded choices and the ones it has just don't taste good. Also items ordered frequently don't come out or if they are out of it, they just replace it with something else, but don't tell you they are doing so. Overall there are so many better Hot Pot places in the area and for Hot Pot and Kbbq, KPot is just better at everything.

We had a great experience. Came w 2 young kids. We did hotpot only. Food came out quickly and the server checked on us throughout. The food was fresh and tasted great with the broth. My wife even got a surprise cake after the server overheard that it was her birthday. Will be back!

Ive been here twice and both times were wonderful. I tried bbq the first time and kpot the second time, I think the kpot is way better than bbq. Our server was Jenny and she was very kind, patient, and efficient. She did an amazing job and I appreciated her professionalism! I will definitely come back again.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Seoul. Our server, Kelly was very attentive and gave us a great recommendation on which meats to pick. Kelly went above and beyond and our plates were always filled without asking. We came with an empty stomach and left full ? We would definitely recommend Seoul and will be returning!

Vegetarian options: They had broths that are vegetarian friendly and lots of veggies to choose from.

Parking: Parking was in a plaza and free parking so it’s a win.

Kid-friendliness: The appetizers were kid friendly and lots of options of meats for the kids to choose from. Plus the smoothies were a hit for my kids.
