So Korean Grill

We got the set for two people that come with rice and steamed egg. The waiters were all very attentive and would cook for us as needed. I also needed more lettuce and garlic but they gave it with no hesitation.

Very nice Korean bbq with lots on the menu apart from the barbecue. Has a few drink options but the focus is on the tasty food. Combo set for 4 has lots of choices of proteins and meats, and also includes many veggie plates as well. All come with miso soup and salad to start with. Great staff friendly to help you and make the experience better. Interior is cozy sectional areas, and it was nice and clean. Thanks

If you're looking for a good place to eat some Korean bbq, then So Korean Grill is definitely worth a trip. The restaurant is tucked next to H-Mart. The restaurant was clean and modern in terms of layout. Grills are also modern where the smoke is pulled under the grill so you don't smell like Korean bbq afterwards.The menu offers different sets from A-C, where each set offers the perfect amount of food per person. My party of 6 went with set B and ordered galbi a la carte on the side. Eat of the meats and dishes were fresh and deliciously seasoned. My favorite was the spicy squid and the spicy pork. Both had a great spicy kick. The galbi was also super flavorful and definitely worth a try. Wait staff was super helpful and kind. They were very insightful and helped us chose a good option for our party. Definitely recommend!

My friends and I were a group of 5 people, and we came to So Korean Grill one night for dinner. We ordered Set B, which serves 3-4 people, and added on an extra order of egg souffle and some seafood pancakes. The banchan were unlimited, and the staff refilled them upon request. The meats were fresh, high-quality, well-marinated, tender, and not overly salty. All of the food was so good. It was a lot of food, and we were so satisfyingly stuffed. If everyone is extremely hungry, then Set B is good for 3-4 people. Otherwise, Set B with some add-ons is a good amount for 4-5 people. Despite it being super busy and short-staffed, the staff did a great job. The service was a little slow, but they were really great about consistently changing out the grills. They also helped with grilling and cutting the meat.So Korean Grill is located in the same plaza as H Mart and is super convenient for getting groceries and a meal in one visit. It is not AYCE KBBQ, but the meat is really good. It is a pricey meal, but it is worth the money.

This is the best Korean bbq I ever had in Philadelphia! We came in 4 people and were ordered the set for $168 serve 3-4. Everything came out so fast that we didn't even have much time to take pictures lol. We were so busy eating. Everything starting from the miso soup, salad, side dishes and bibimbap, they were delicious. Especially the egg soufflé is to die for. I scraped every bit of it off the pot lol. And that one particular sauce, we all like it so much, it made with wasabi and/or sesame oil. It was so bomb when you dipped with grilled meats. The set that we ordered came with a little bit of everything in the menu. We had pork ribs, ribeye, marinated chicken, pork, shrimp, squids, bulgogi, pork belly, and more. Services are excellent! Staffs are very attentive and helpful. They cooked everything for us. All you have to do is eating lol. Everything was flavored perfect with the right amounts of food, we finished everything because it was so good. I highly highly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed! It's definitely a hidden gem in North Philly, just right next door to the new H-Mart on N Front Street. We will definitely be returning!

A premium korean BBQ experience. I came here with 3 other people and we got the 3-4 persons course meal. It came out to be ~$205/210 total after tax. It is quite pricey but the meat was pretty good quality. When we arrived, we were immediately seated. The food came out within 3-4 minutes after we ordered; everything was placed on our table. Our group would have preferred if the waitress did not place everything straight onto the grill, but it wasn't that big of a deal. The meat is good quality with decent marbling, but it didn't blow my mind especially for the price. However, they give you so much food and variety. My friends and I were all stuffed. The marinades are well balanced, salty yet sweet (2-3 meats were marinaded). I would come again!

Unlike any Korean bbq place I've visited! Please know IT IS NOT AYCE!! Just a forewarning for those expecting this as it is a prefixed menu. We decided to get the A option which was $85 and was meant for two people. There are 3 tiers and that was the cheapest option. This was plenty of food for the both of us and all of the meat was amazing. A server comes around every couple of minutes to help with cooking the meat and they even cut it for you which is nice. I wish they gave us more veggies to grill but overall everything was amazing. The place was also extremely clean!!

Spacious and clean. But server was bit slow Took awhile to serve us even water. And multiple servers came to table. No consistency. We order set A $75 which is for 2 people. It would have been better with set if it comes with rice and daenjang jjigae.But we got little bit of different type of meat And they gave us plenty refills for everything we need.

So Korean Grill is located in the same shopping plaza as Hmart, making it a great location with easy and free parking. We arrived at 5pm on a Thursday and the restaurant was empty, no reservations needed at this time. They offer Set Menus, but are not flexible in substitutions, none are allowed. We were hoping to do set A and swap out some of the beef/pork items for chicken and seafood, but the server informed us that wasn't possible. I would say that the Set menus are likely the best bang for your buck! For a la carte, we ordered the LA Galbi, shrimp, spicy chicken, seafood pancake, and egg souffle which came to $63 per person pre-tip. The quality of everything was great. I usually like my egg souffle a little bit more watery, but it was still good. I loved the taste and texture of the seafood pancake, nice and savory and oniony just how I like it. The quality of the meats and seafood were good too and well seasoned/marinated. Service was friendly, but a bit slow towards the end as we were ready for our check for probably a good 20-30 minutes and had to wave them down eventually. I would recommend this Korean barbeque spot to just about anyone, except for vegans and vegetarians as there really aren't any great options for you. You're better off going to KPot which has lotssss of veggie options!

My friend and I came here early for dinner! My friend didn't eat pork or beef so we couldn't do one of the sets. We asked if we could sub out different meats in the set to do them but were told we couldn't.We ordered a la carte so we both could eat what we wanted :) There was a little confusion about how many meats we could order but it got sorted out quickly. We ordered seafood pancake, Egg custard, LA galbi, shrimp and spicy chicken. The seafood pancake was really good! A bit soggy but still packed with seafood :) The meats were the star of the show ofcourse. The galbi was seasoned perfectly! The shrimp was regular shrimp but still succulent. The spricu chicken had good flavors and wasn't too spicy. The egg custard is a favorite! Goes perfectly well with rice. Overall we had a great meal :) I've been to So Korean bbq in VA and really glad they have one up in PA!
