We stopped here around 7:30 on a Saturday night and were lucky to get a table upon arrival. We left an hour or so later and there 20-25 people waiting to get in. The food was generally excellent. The seafood pancake was the best I’ve eaten. Chicken wings were also good, although the bulgogi was underwhelming. Service was horrible. You have to chase them down for everything. It took 3 requests to get water. We sat there for 15 minutes before we grabbed someone so we could order. You have to be very aggressive and pro-active if you want to eat here. They’ll ignore you for a long time otherwise. I gave them a 5 for food and a 1 for service, resulting in an overall 3.

The Soju-rita is delicious and so was the spicy ramen. We didn’t feel like they had true vegetarian options for us. The restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly.
Visiting Austin from Dallas. Highly recommend. Excellent restaurant and service. Introduced several folks to Korean food who left fans. Owner is amazing and actively involved with the experience. Excellent! A must try
We went to celebrate our birthdays last night and seoulju never disappoints! They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time and that we did. Food, drinks, and staff are amazing!

The draft Shiner was flat, but they had the class to remove it from the bill without being asked after I informed them. The spicy chicken...unenjoyably spicy... chicken was poorly cooked...sauce wasn't tasty. The kimchi fried rice was wonderful though. If you know what's good here I think you'll really enjoy it. When we left they told us to try the fried chicken next time. They sat us in quarantine practically in a little area with three tables on the left...no one else sat in this area...
Service and staff is excellent and made perfect recommendations. Bulgogi fries are top notch. Lychee soju was superb. Rave review for kimchi fried rice with pork belly. I forgot they add automatic gratuity so our server got some extra tip but that's never a bad thing. Make a reservation and enjoy!
Seoulju has become my favorite restaurant of all time. The service and staff are beyond amazing. They make you feel like a part of the family. Not to mention, the karaoke room is ALWAYS a hit. Great drinks, great food, even better people. If you enjoy having the best nights of your life, come here. They'll Seoulju a good time ;)

Me and my husband wanted to have an authentic Korean food experience and Seoulju Korean Kitchen and Bar served the purpose very well. We ordered the chicken wings (were very tasty and crispy), beef bbq and bulgogi. I would recommend the bbq because it was so tender and juicy. They have a limited menu but quality of the food was great. Would go there again!

We were made to feel so welcome at Seoulju! From the wait staff, to the owner coming by several times, everyone wants to make sure you are having a good time. The food is PHENOMENAL (try the bulgogi kimchi waffle fries and the fried chicken, you will thank me!) and the atmosphere is very fun. We tried soju for the first time and really enjoyed it! We will definitely be coming back
The food was really good and the staffs were very nice! You have to make a reservation to eat at this place, and the con is that they open very late. Overall, very good place with good food.

I loved the atmosphere! They played Kpop which I personally love, especially dining by myself it added a bit of entertainment. The staff was very friendly and their donation to AAPI is what initially drew me to their location!

The ambience is exactly what you expect from a Korean style dining experience. quality of the food is fresh and delicious. Will be coming back to try other items in the menu. I've worked in the customer service industry and they are doing great keeping ppl happy!

Food was okay, fried chicken was ofc really tasty. Their "spicy" isn't very spicy imo just red bean paste. House made Soju was easy drinking and they sell it togo (bonus). Adding a 20% gratuity to a 2 person table seemed odd considering the price of the food was kinda high. Short ribs for $18 no sides other than a bowl of rice. Next time we'll stick to the fried chicken.

The chicken at Seoul Ju is incredible and they have Hite on tap which is a plus for sure. The K-Pop videos running non stop were also fun to watch. The room itself is classic and old school Austin meets Korea. And North Lamar is a million times cooler than Central Austin or even the highly gentrified South Lamar. This place is a must visit for sure.
