The Seoul

If you're craving authentic Korean food in Michigan, The Seoul is a hidden gem you won't want to miss! Located in a cozy spot, this restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped into a traditional Korean home.The service is good. There's a nice server named Daniel.

Came here after a football game for dinner and had baby and toddler in tow as well. Very happy AA has some traditional Korean options compared to 5-8 years ago when we lived there, The servers were very friendly but for some reason wanted us to sit at a table that was connected to another party's table due to our stroller. The restaurant was fairly empty at this point so it wasn't because this was the only option... I tried explaining that we'd like to sit somewhere else but they didn't seem to understand so we just sat there hoping our kids wouldn't bother the other party! Aside from that - we were pleasantly surprised by dinner and how good the food was! Great flavor of the bulgogi, sundubu was decent but quite spicy. This was their combo meal and it was a generous amount of meat for a combo! Husband got the dol sot bibimbap and it was sizzling temperature hot! Banchan was very tasty, The servers were very kind to my kiddos and brought out a booster seat, plastic cup with lid for water. The bathrooms are single person and extremely spacious, clean, and the ladies room has a changing table. So other than the weird seating issue, very family friendly! I would go back if we lived in AA :)

I was finishing up a shift in Ann Arbor and wanted something to eat before heading back to Grand Rapids. Nate and I both found The Seoul on Yelp so we headed over. The space includes BBQ grill tables but we just went with entrees. We were seated right away and got our orders in. The menu includes a lot of interesting dishes that I don't see at many Korean places in GR. I had tried a cold buckwheat noodle dish while in Korea recently, and was excited to see a version of it on the menu at The Seoul. Nate got the bibim guksoo, a spicy noodle dish, and we also got an order of gim mari twigim, or deep fried mini seaweed rolls.I loved the banchan! They gave us kimchi, fish cake, broccoli, and potato salad. They were all delicious. The gim mari twigim was okay, but not the best I've had. Our dishes were delicious and huge portions - we definitely could have split one dish. The bibim nengmyun was brothier than I was expecting but still very good. I didn't love the very hard boiled egg, but the noodles were delicious and it wasn't super spicy. Nate's dish was very spicy!I'm glad we checked out The Seoul and would love to come back and try more dishes.

I've only ordered takeout from here but the food has been fairly good. I've tried the bibimbap, japchae, and soondubu. None of them have been particularly outstanding but will satisfy your korean food craving and the portions are pretty good too.

The food was pretty good and you know it's legit when they bring out sides! It was overall a good experience, just the tables were dirty and it was hard to communicate it to the workers since most of them had a difficult time understanding English. Overall, a lot of good options and fresh food

The food is fine, nothing outstanding. I recommend coming here for the Friday lunch special; I would skip on getting any of the soups.The lunch specials, particularly the Friday one, is an absolute steal. It's 50% off most appetizers and the portions are HUGE. I've been here a couple of times, the soondobu and boodae jiggae are extremely underwhelming. Both taste bland and one note. The sides are good though. The service is hit or miss. Lunch service is good but you practically get 0 service for dinner and have to track down the servers.

Sunday lunchtime. Dining room was slow but service was fast. Bright and clean dining room with grill tables for BBQ. We ordered spicy rice cake, toonsuyuk pork and Kalbi. She started the grill table and brought the banchan, dipping sauce for BBQ, side salad, and pink pickled radish wraps for the meat. The plate of meat brought out was a healthy portion but Kalbi Sal (boneless) but still the quality and flavor was there. We enjoyed every bite. The fried pork in a sweet and sour sauce was fresh and delicious. The spicy rice cake is hot. Not for the weak. I ate too much and have leftovers for days. The bottom line was about $66. Very reasonable for the feast we enjoyed. Solid spot for good Korean food and service.

Korean barbeque is prefect for the cold weather in Ann Arbor. The Seoul has a great blend of meat with chill ambiance. The fluffy egg and side dishes go perfect with the meats available. Different combos for your party of size are convenient! Kalbi sal and chadol is really good and perfectly marinated. Highly recommended.

We were in Ann Arbor for work and this place is a hidden gem. It had a very cozy interior. The service was awesome and the staff were very friendly. We loved the food. It was very flavorful and yummy. The noodle soup was very delicious.

I love the Seoul. It's the best restaurant in Ann Arbor, please go here! I come at least 1x a month. My favorite dishes are the hot stone bibimbop, any of the cold noodles, and the steamed egg
