Seoul Korean Restaurant

Probably the best Korean food in the entire Baltimore, harford, and surrounding area. Authentic. Real. No bullcrap

I never knew this place existed and today it was a pleasure to find this hidden gem. The food was fresh, service quick (despite the lunch push) and overall a great experience. The restaurant is small with at best 15 tables. This is authentic Korean food and as much as you will be glad you stopped in the family there is gracious to welcome you.

I will give them another try and update my review when I am able to get back out there...I was super excited to try this restaurant after hearing good things and there just aren't many Korean food places around me. I was told this would be authentic Korean food and I couldn't wait, as I'm Korean and miss my grandma's traditional food! We arrived around 4:45pm and the hours listed say 6pm. We went to go sit down so we could look through the menu before ordering and were told it's take out only. This was a major bummer and some of the things we wanted to order would have been difficult to eat in the car. It was also 80 degrees out and I live about 35-40 minutes from here. We still ordered cause we wanted to try it and were hungry. The food came out fast and we were also given 2 small containers of cucumber kimchi! I ordered the tofu bibimbap and I'm sorry to say it had zero flavor. If you are looking to just make it spicy, they do give you a container of spicy sauce to put on it. My friend ordered the bulgogi with rice and Ttokbokki. The Ttokbokki were delicious and were the perfect level of spicy! The bulgogi was also very good, but next time we might try the spicy bulgogi! Overall, I would give it a try.

Located in a strip mall, on the end, in the rear of a parking lot away from 40 Lots of neighboring places so parking might be an issue midday..but no problem at 4:30 Inside was bright and seemed clean with plenty of 4 top tables. Ladies restroom was clean, well lit. No pleasantries or small talk with the ?owner/man who took my order and brought my food 4th Korean restaurant and trying their versions of YoonGaeJong I think I'm biased to the first one I tried, so not sure it's a very fair rating system I haveBut, of the last 3, this place was closest to the first and thus my second favorite. As usual, I called ahead to ensure they were open and served the beef soup. And when I arrived he recognized my voice from having just called90minutes from closing, there were no other patrons inside. I ordered the soup and by the time I sat down and checked into Yelp,he was bringing it out...piping hot in a silver/metal bowl. Not sure if this meant it was nuked, or spooned from a huge vat, but it came out IMMEDIATELY. Either way. It was really really good. STILL not as spicey as the first place, but spicier than the last two. Not sweet as the last place. And with lots and lots and lots of egg! I didn't mind it, but it was LOADED w egg! I thought it might be some noodle, but each piece resembled, and tasted like egg Again, I didn't mind..it was good, and meant more protein. Zero scallion/green onion..made it taste a bit different than my first place, which pretty much had mostly scallions as its vegetable....giving it its own unique flavor. Not as many vegetables as the last place and no bean sprouts The beef was relatively tender, but with a little chew. The serving size left me full, and with enough for lunch tomorrow It came with a small side of kimchi, radish, cucumbers, and about 1.5c of white riceNo fountain drinks or free water...there is a cooler of sodas and tea Didn't mandate a tip, but a sign DID remind you that 1. $10min for credit card purchase and 2. Credit cards hurt small businesses...encouraging you to pay in cash I recall trying this place maybe 4yrs ago when a friend came to visit and wanted Korean. Don't recall what we had, but must've been good or I wouldn'tv returned Will go back, at some point. Either try something different, or ask for the YGJ again, and make it a bit spicier. Recommend you try

Upon walking in I was greeted by the one of the owners. She was great to talk to and helped us choose our meal. We saw the gal-bi and she whipped it up fresh, and brought it to our table. It was delicious and I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items.

My husband was stationed in Korea. This place reminds him of what he ate there!! "The first bite was nostalgia" :) Small family business, very nice! Service was awesome and very fast. Will be a regular customer!! Thanks again

Fairly authentic food. Closes early so need to get dinner before 6.A little salty. Price is reasonable and staff nice.

This spot is the only Korean spot I could find close enough to just drop by. Granted, it is more Americanized flavors on their menu but it was still edible and good. The family members are kind and helpful when talking about the flavors and portion sizes. Their banchan was nice and solid for everything being paired with it. Their bibimbap was good and lots of veggies were put in there. Their tteokbukki was nicely flavored and not too spicy, with plenty of sauce for rice and etc. And their Japchae was swimming in soup, which was rare for me to see, but delicious though a bit saltier than usual. Just to note, they did recommend going to Ellicott City for the bigger and traditional options and flavors.

I stumbled upon this place while trying to find a florist shop that's no longer in the area. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed my mandoo fried. The lady was nice and my order was ready in a timely manner. I will visit again and try some other items

Don't sleep on this place! Read the reviews, both good and bad; had to see for myself. Yes, very unassuming from the exterior, and nothing fancy inside......BUT, when you take a bite of the food, massive flavor! I got the pork bulgogi (spicy), and it was love at first bite! I like a decent amount of spice, and this had enough. Portion size was sufficient, and really liked the pickled veggies to cut through the richness. Owner(s) stopped by to check in on me - they were super friendly. Definitely coming back with some friends to try the other dishes.
