| - Seoul is a neat spot in a quietly booming area that includes Unknown, Craft, and Lady M Cakes. I've been here a few times, but my most recent visit was on a whim with my wife (because cooking is time consuming and we were already hungry). Overall Seoul is a unique experience in the Charlotte scene that boasts an amazing meat selection, creative cocktails, and a great presentation for sharing.
When starting off with a drink, don't be afraid to go off the norm and try something other than the local craft beers. While I got a Sapporo on draft during my most recent visit, our waiter encouraged me to try the yogurt soju on a previous visit. It was an impressive display hitting the table still in the shaker while smoking from the addition of dry ice, and was an overall hit at the table.
Getting to the meat of the restaurant, the portions are large and come out on a large tray to promote sharing (think family style, but with an edgier presentation). My wife and I got a small serving of wings, pork belly (one of the best in the city), and ribs and were unable to finish everything. Also don't make the rookie mistake we did and only order meats. They have some neat sides that are worth trying.
Again, Seoul is a unique addition to Charlotte and I would certainly encourage others to try. Also be sure to watch the K-Pop music videos playing in the background for some unexpected entertainment!
