The staff was super friendly and helped me with my first time order. The food came out really quick and I love the recommendation of the fireball. As soon as I got home, I ate my food and it was amazing. There's enough to basically make enough for two people or just have leftovers if it's just you eating. I definitely recommend this place and the fireball is spicy which I love. Definitely make a stop at this place and the chill vibe of the restaurant was pretty awesome.

Delicious food with one major issue. First the good. For a quick but flavorful meal with a Korean kick, this spot is a great option. It's set up in a manner that is characteristic of the Chipotle model whereby you pick your proteins, noodles, veggies, and sauces. If you'd rather go for tried and true menu items, they've got some great favorites to choose from; I went for the Seoul Train and it was excellent. The place is counter service so you can expect quick but impersonal service and cafeteria seating. The bad. It is unacceptable for a sit down restaurant to have all of their restrooms out of order. After I was done eating, I tossed my trash (the recycling side was blocked off), and turned to go to the bathroom where I saw a hand written sign that the bathrooms, all of them, were out of order. I hope that this was not a tactic employed by the staff to avoid cleaning restrooms, but I've seen that happen in other establishments... that along with the blocked off recycling seems odd.

Tried in between Washington Spirit game & Bruce Springsteen Concert. Plenty of seating, nice & clean area & restroom. Friendly staff with lots of options. My only complaint was that they had fried chicken on the menu but was told it was not available. Kind of threw me for a loop, as I already agreed to eat here with the wife-lol She enjoyed her choice, I shared some with her, and it was tasty, not too spicy, so it could be handled by most. Price is in line with the area, and I will try again in the future. Hopefully, fried chicken.

The customer service was excellent. The establishment was clean and there were booths for seating.The food was just medium to me. I got the japache noodle bowl with double chicken because the original scoop of chicken was only an about maybe 8 pieces. I tried all the toppings for the most part and tried it with two types of sauce and the spicy sauce. The bowl was fresh. The flavors all fell flat to me. The kimchi that was on my bowl was extremely salty to the point it was almost inedible. The chicken was cooked well so it remained moist. The sauces were bland and didn't really make me want to have more. The lychee lemonade was good and not overly sweet.If there was some tweaks to flavor profile I probably would have enjoyed it more.

I have seen this restaurant several times, but never ventured on until today. I'm so glad I did.It's very bright and open which was great. The staff were welcoming and patiently explained the concept (think a Korean version of the Mexican place with the logo) and choices, even giving me a sample. I got one of the standard dishes with noodles and it was really good. I will have to pay more attention to the pricing next time though, because I thought what I ordered was a little less than what I was charged. However, it was probably just me being overwhelmed with the newness and didn't look at the prices correctly. I will definitely be adding this into my meal rotation. Highly recommend you give them a try.

First time trying Seoul Spice and it was great! If you're looking for fast casual Korean food that's on the healthy side, this is a great choice. Pick a base, protein, veggies, toppings and sauces. The bulgogi beef and chicken were yummy and The kimchi was not too spicy. The staff were friendly, precise, yet still efficient and they definitely have a locked down process. There's a lot of seating and good lighting. I can't wait to return to support!

I'll definitely be visiting Seoul Spice again. My partner and I visited for the first time tonight and got custom noodle and rice bowls. Both the spicy pork and beef were tasty. They offer a variety of proteins and toppings, and the toppings were all very fresh. The diced cucumbers and fresh bean sprouts made me especially happy. If you love spicy, definitely opt for the hot sauce at the end since the spicy pork and the kimchi aren't super spicy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything was for fast food. I'm looking forward to my next visit. As an added bonus, the staff is friendly, competent, and quick. Tonight's opening night line was out the door and around the corner, but the line moved quickly because of the staff. They were non-stop, which I know can be stressful and really tiring. Somebody give these bowlistas a raise.

Stopped here before the baseball game. Absolutely incredible flavors. I got the Seoul Train and the bulgogi beef was so juicy and favorable. The staff was super nice and helpful. I wish I had one of these where I live.
