Nuevo Seoul

The food is 5-star - I'm just giving one less because it would be nicer to have real silverware and plates/bowls. BUT if it keeps the prices down, then I'm here for it. We arrived at noon and were able to sit right away; the place filled up immediately after we sat down. Good sign. The decor is cute, but the entrance is a little hidden in an alley, and you have to go through their patio area, which is being used a little bit for storage right now - I bet it's really cute in the summer! Service was friendly and fast.We had the chorizo fried dumplings which tasted so fresh and savory. The sauces are super yummy and house made. I had the birria ramen, which I'd for sure come back to get - and definitely get the soft egg - it's so good; I think marinated or cured in soy sauce. Everything about the ramen was awesome, and it came out so hot. Love that. My friend got the birria quesadillas, and if you like quesadillas, you'd for sure love these. Just perfect with an excellent consume. Next time, will try the fried chicken. Great food.

Food was good we went in while we were visiting the auto show, it was busy than usual ended up waiting for 15 mins but the staff we were polite and trying to turn the tables as fast as they could... The ambiance s a nice place to chill and hangout for a good meal . The food was good even tho it was busy we were able toGet the order soon ... among wat we ordered the kimchi fries were the best .. the chicken tacos were good too... I oly wished instead of tofu if they have used any other vegan meat option it would have been more flavorful as the tofu . But overall a good place to visit for a quick meal .

I was really excited to try Nuevo Seoul since Mexican and Korean are two of my favorite cuisines. Unfortunately, my experience didn't quite live up to my expectations.Drinks:I couldn't wait to try the dragonfruit margarita, but it was disappointing, watered down, and medicinal tasting. My partner agreed, and we didn't even finish it. On the flip side, the Clouds of Jeju cocktail was phenomenal and worth recommending.Service:The service left much to be desired. Our server wasn't particularly friendly or attentive. When I didn't finish my dragonfruit margarita and ordered a different drink, it would have been nice if someone had asked about it, especially since it was a $14 cocktail that was left untouched. Additionally, when our food arrived, we weren't given any silverware and had to track someone down for plastic utensils even though the restaurant wasn't very busy.Food:The food was solid, but nothing stood out as memorable. The kimchi fries were tasty, but let's be honest, it's hard to mess up loaded fries. The birria tacos, at $18 for three, were on the pricey side and pretty skimpy. Unfortunately, this trend continued with the other tacos we ordered, which seemed under filled and didn't deliver the punch of flavor we'd hoped for. Honestly, you could drive 8 minutes to Mexicantown and find tacos with more flavor at a better price.Overall:While I enjoyed certain aspects, the underwhelming drinks, lackluster service, and high prices make it hard for me to justify a return visit. There are better options nearby for both Mexican and Korean-inspired dishes.

Came back for the chicken wings and It was good overall! Super tender wings and nicely fried and crisp. Not crazy over the sauce flavorings but I'm usually more of a fan with soy garlic flavors, it's hard to find the right gochunang based sauces that I really like. Horchata was delicious. It had more of a spice that I don't taste often in horchata. I cannot pinpoint which spice but it was light and perfect sweetness. Quesadilla Birria was okay. I think it's the same as the Korean bread version. Just different carb. Elote was good but a little too saucy for my liking but loved how it was served hot!Overall food is still just good but not memorable. If I ever came back again, definitely sticking to the chicken and possibly try other taco meat choices.

We were downtown at a weird time so most restaurants we wanted to go to were closed. This was open though. It is a Mexican Korean fusion place. I feel it leave more Mexican though. And the menu is small. What we had was fine. We tried the grilled cheese and birria tacos. The tacos were solid. I'd get those again. The grilled cheese was ok. Same with the salsa. Nothing blew me away. Overall it was solid for what it was: a place open at a weird time and decent good. I probably wouldn't go back though bc the food wasn't anything special.

Ambience inside the restaurant was cute, a little dim with a bar in the back. Halal food which is a plus (but not everything is if I'm remembering correctly? - ask which options are to double check!) My mom and brother order birria tacos and quesadilla which were delicious. My father and I ordered the kimchi chicken quesadilla and burrito bowl. We shared kimchi fries and nachos. The starters were alright, most of the topping sat on top which was kind of annoying since once you got to the bottom it was plain fries/chips. The meat tasted a little off and/or frozen and old and didn't taste good in my opinion. The next day, both my father and I got food poisoning/upset stomachs which I'm guessing was from the chicken. Prices also seemed a little high but that might just be me. They also did not give plates which I think would be nice to have - we asked for some we could share food and were just given more of the baskets with paper. Hostess was nice and answered any questions we had! Overall it was nice to try, but I do not see myself coming to this restaurant again.

First off, the staff and service is amazing! Such nice friendly faces that are quick on their feet and super helpful.The food was a little underwhelming. We ordered the Birria quesadilla, Korean chicken sandwich, and wings. The wings were probably my favorite. Don't get me wrong, the food was good! But we are craving to come back here. I recommend trying for yourself!

Down a cute alley next to the juice bar place. Same street as Chop House. This place is cute. It's kinda confusing with the vibe, music, and food like the place doesn't know who it is or have one identity but lots of them! I sat at the bar. Ordered a Dragonfruit Marg. It's good. Small for 14 dollars. A lot of ice. I wouldn't get a cocktail from here again at this price. Disappointing. Plastic-wear. Food is in baskets. I did order the gochujang shrimp tacos... at 16 dollars you get three and lots of shrimp. These tacos came out almost immediately.I do not like the tortilla at all. It's dry. I don't think there's a lot of favor here just tastes plain the spice is there but not the beauty and power of gochujang. Bartenders are nice. Haven't checked on me since I ordered. They seem really busy but there's not a lot of people in here. This would be a fun work thing or cute first date or take home food. I came alone and feel comfortable. Drinks are pricey for the size. I took five sips and it was gone. Three stars. Doris kinda approved. It could be better and it just feels rushed, overpromised, and nothing special.

Finding The Restaurant Itself wasn't difficult, but it was unexpected if that makes sense lol. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich & Fries that I enjoyed. It was crispy and juicy, they allow you to choose a sauce to have the chicken dipped in which was a plus. The service was pleasant and restaurant was a Spanish American vibe. I'll probably be back to try something different on the menu next.

This place has a great location, but that's about it. The food was in general pretty flavorless for a Korean and Mexican fusion restaurant. Their spiciest sauce was more like a medium. The birria ramen was the best thing but I wouldn't go back for it. The chicken sandwich was really soggy. I wouldn't have been too mad had our bill been $40-50, but for the price I expected it to be better.As far as ambiance the plastic trays felt cheap for how expensive the food was. I also think they need to dim the lighting a bit. The thing I was most annoyed about was it was $14 for a margarita (not an issue) but it was so weak and watered down. I really hope since they just opened they make some changes so that the price reflects the quality or vice versa.
