Great Yukgaejang, have a little buffet style for banchan, and apparently their Samgyetang is the closest to authentic Samgyetang in Korea! We did not care for the kalbi - have had better elsewhere. The environment is not the best looking, it is super simple, yet clean.

I love their food especially all you can eat side dishes!! The side dish is buffet style but I really hate it when other customers recycled their bowl to refill the side dish!! It just common sense to use clean bowl, why would they do it differently in a Asian restaurant?!

The service is great and so is the food. You get to have as many sides as you want. The environment is not great the place is dated but clean.

I've been here multiple times and while the food is a little overpriced you do get good value in the little salad bar full of pickled vegetables and different kinds of tofu. The kimchi stew has always been flavorful as well as the bulgogi and spicy octopus. I really enjoy this place.

Just stopped by and saw that they are now closed. So sad to see this place close their doors as they had the best korean lunch in town. Not only their lunch was great, but their pricing was very accommodating. I'll miss the L3 and potatoes.

Love this place! I always hate asking for additional sides at other Korean restaurants but you have no issues here with their sides bar. We always get the zucchini pancake, boneless galbi, and teriyaki chicken. The side dishes are fantastic. This is the only place where my 2yo will tear up the broccoli. Unfortunately we came to dinner tonight to read sign saying that the restaurant will be changing to something else. Very very sad to see them go.

It's was my first time here . My first impression is the decoration. It's was nice . Me and my friend ordered a bimbimbap and a soup (idk I forgot what it is) . It's small but have a lot of customers so you can't do anything about the waiting. The food was good ... but it's taking like FOREVER!!!! The girl was not friendly too. They don't even check on us. My food come out first and my friend have to wait like 30mins. Their manager have to come and ask what do we waiting for. Then he rushing to do it for us. That was so sweet of him and that's why I gave them 3 stars. Still I will never come back

We've been meaning to try Seoul House for a long time - our only regret is we didn't try it sooner! This place is tucked away into the corner of the shopping center, so just look for the smiling chili pepper mascot on the sign. It was quiet at lunchtime, but we were pleased to see they don't just do bento boxes - I had the Haemul Sundubu (seafood and soft tofu stew, rice on the side) and my husband had the Bibimbap Dolsot (beef, veggies and rice in a hot stone bowl). All the lunch entrees were between $7-9, about what you'd expect for Chinatown - but Korean barley tea or green tea, hot or iced, is just 75 cents. Fountain drinks are $1.50. I've yet to see cheaper drinks, especially with refills! Sides that day included napa cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, firm tofu with chili, and what I later found out were thin, triangular pieces of fish cake - all self-serve and unlimited. They were a great compliment to our entrees, which arrived very quickly and literally steaming hot, and the attentive waitress never let our drinks get less than half full. We left very full, very happy, and the bill came to under $20 before tip. Needless to say, we will be back - and we'll be bringing our friends and family!

Dolsot bibimbap was underwhelming. It needed a sauce to give it more flavor and tie the dish together and the amount of meat was so scarce. I did like that you could choose your own toppings from the self-serve bar. Seafood pancake was the saving grace of our meal. Won't return.
I hate this place. I tired this restaurant 2times and their food taste so nasty. They don't know how to make Korean food. They don't know how to cook period. They take forever to bring your main dish. The service is not good either. Don't recommend for Korean restaurant.

Inside a Vietnamese plaza is a family owned restaurant that does Korean food justice. We've been here many times and can say with confidence that what we have ordered has been prepared very good. They have happy hour lunch specials for bento boxes (decent at okay prices) but majority of the time we order the Haemol Dolsot and the Seafood Tofu. Remember to mix your rice in the clay pot and soak in all the flavors. What I like about this place are the endless side dishes ranging from fish cake, beansprouts, kimchi, sweet potato....I can come here just for their sides and leave happy (the owner will probably not be please though). Tip: order the Dolsot Bibimbap and Haemol Dolsot. Both highly recommend.

Food is ok, pretty ordinary. We ordered one spicy seafood tofu soup and it was ok. Then we ordered their "lunch box" special and it was decent for the price. Less than 10 dollars. It included a portion of Korean bbq, 2 fried shrimps, lettuce, small stew soup, and rice. They have unlimited sides bar, they're ok as well. Not many choices compared to other restaurants. The waitress only came by twice, to bring the drinks and the food then never bothered to come back again until we asked for the check. Lastly, I found it unsanitary that two of the workers were cleaning or preparing bean sprouts in one of the tables of the customer area. They were checking their phones as they were cutting/preparing the been sprouts. Doubt I'll come back ....

Lemme just say that seoul house has a special place in my heart just because of the sides. I love love love their bean sprouts, fish cakes, and broccoli. Basically all of their sides are really good but Those are especially my favorite!! You get free unlimited sides with your order and normally my by the time my food comes out I've already gotten full off of a few dishes of veggies and I take home like half of my order haha, so its definitely cost effective!! I almost always get the sundubu jigae non spicy and after trying literally ever sundubu in chinatown, I can confidently say that this one is my favorite!! Everything else I've tried has also been really great! This place is just a super solid little korean restaurant and I'm so glad that it's there haha

The seafood pancake is delish. They also have self service for all-you-can-eat sides.(I like their Kimchi). You can't go wrong with their rice bowl dishes. This place services you fairly quick making it a decent candidate for lunch choice.
Foods is good! The Kimchi bar is good!
