Seoul Soondae

Genuine concern for the customer's well being, and integrity is how I would describe my experience here. First time eating here. The lady that served me wasn't in it for the money, but assisted me by ordering the food I really wanted to eat, and actually discouraging me from ordering something much more expensive where I won't be able to finish and have a great experience. She was very welcoming and always tried to provide me a healthier option at no cost. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and quiet. The TV wasn't on for some reason but I didn't mind that at all. It was Chinese new year so the lady provided me some dduks in celebration (what's in the pink dish). They also offer shik-hae, a traditional sweet Korean sweet drink which takes a whole day to make for free after your meal. Not many places offer this anymore and was pleasantly surprised. The food tasted great and I have no complaints.

Seoul Soondae has been a staple in my family for years and the quality of their food is consistent. The prices are much higher than in most places but the portion of meat with the sundae jungsheek is fair. We always got our meals Togo so I can only speak for take-out orders. The location has several booths for dining in.

I was in the mood for Korean food so decided to go to Seoul Soondae. I had gotten takeout once before, but decided to try dining in for the first time.The menu isn't too too big, though there are some additional items posted on the walls. As the name of the restaurant suggests, they specialize in soondae (Korean blood sausage).We ordered the Soon Dae Jung Shik and Sullung Tang. The combination came with soondae and sliced meats, plus soup. Banchan were okay, radish and cabbage kimchi plus pickled chilies and garlic and dried tiny fish with pine and peanuts. Rice and soups were delicious. Soondae was tasty, though the sliced liver was a bit dry for me (I'm not the biggest fan of liver to begin with).Service was decent; though they don't have the best English we were able to communicate enough. The best part was the refreshing chilled sikhye (rice punch) at the end of the meal.Prices were fair, $53 before tips for this meal. Highly recommend!

if you're a kor-am that grew up around la/oc, this is def a nostalgic place for you. this particular night my mom and i were FIENDING for some soondae so we thought why don't we compare seoul soondae and the new moobongri since they're so close to each other?! genius lol. i've heard that the owners actually changed a while ago, but it still that same homey feel that i remember as a kid. they have better prices than MBR, with bigger portions and better service. the soondae tastes pretty much the same as i remember, more blood than noodles, which is my speed. the soondae jungsik comes with a whole ass plate of soondae, meats, a large side of soup, rice, and kimchi -- all for $36! the sweet old lady gave us a free shikhae too, which was perf to wash down our meal. the only cons would be that im pretty sure their soondae is frozen, so not as fresh, and the kimchi was a lil too ripe for my taste. but i'm probably gonna come back here over and over again. show this og spot some love, and try some authentic korean food!!

Good service & great food! Came here with the family again recently after a long time and the quality and service remains the same. Delicious soondae guk and soondae mix.

We ordered soodae and the pork hock and they were so good with beer. So many variety with soondae too! Very friendly service and reasonably priced. We will always come here whenever we crave for drink foods!

I've tried many soondae places in Oc, and this place is I would say top 2. Soondae tastes so good and we ordered sooyok ( don't know how to spell) and was good too. Will come back

The owner changed.soondae quality was bad some of the intestine pieces that came with was smell so bad .I don't know what to do and where to go?So sad

Perfect nostalgia vibes. Soondae, mixed meats and soup were 100% on point. The good panchan made it 110%

I used to really like this place. My go-to spot for some take out jokbal (pigs feet) and soondae (blood sausage). Never had a problem until recently when I made an order for a large jokbal and large soondae. I drove 20 minutes to go and pick up the order. Paid for it with a credit card, picked the food up, and drove 20 minutes back home ready to serve the food to my entire family.Opened the to-go containers eagerly to eat and share the tasty food from Seoul Soondae. One bite of the jokbal and it tasted very wrong. Very sour and very wrong. And if you look at the photo, you can see the discolored undead like unappealing jokbal. You see lots of pink, not lots of brown. I called to see what went wrong, and they kept insisting they had no idea. Okay, sure I guess that can happen. I asked for a refund since I paid it with my credit card. They did not know how to process a refund, which meant I would have to go back and receive my refund in cash.It's sad and unfortunate that this place has become what it is now. If you dine here, I hope you don't experience what I did. Personally, I will be staying away from this place going forward.
