| - I'm going to get a couple things out of the way first...
*Service is SLOW. Slow = USPS is faster.
*Goofy Rules while ordering (like mixing grilled items).
*Lack of basic manners...like diving under the table.
*Large tour groups.
If any of the above bother you in ANY WAY...stop reading and find yourself another Korean BBQ joint. #youhavebeenwarned
Food - 5 stars
Service - 1 star (i'd go negative if I could)
Location - 2 stars (it's in a goofy spot)
You go to Seoul House for the food, not the ambiance, service or anything of the sort...just the food. We NEEDED great Korean BBQ and I asked a friend to recommend a place...he's Korean and had to believe his recommendation :-)
We ended up being late, really late, but that was no problem...they snagged a table for us! As a group, we ended up ordering shrimp pancake (pajeon), a double of bulgogi, all the banchan you can think of and bibimbap. Don't judge me and my friends...we live in a US state without amazing Korean BBQ.
Pajeon...absolutely on point! I could eat it all the time, crispy, flavorful, packed with shrimp. YUM!!!
Did I mention service wasn't that great? Well, we started grilling the meat and threw the bones on...got yelled at. Not cool on the part of the waiter, who quickly removed the meaty bones and brought them to the "back room" for further cooking. We simply didn't gnaw at the bones when they magically re-appeared some 30 minutes later (who's hungry after THAT long?). It's hard to screw up bulgogi and these guys didn't make a mistake...fresh, sliced and seasoned just right. A slight dip into a spicy paste...washed down with a cold, crisp beer (or tea!).
I love rice and bibimbap is one of my favs...tasty, filling and filled with veggies and meats. All combined into a stone bowl, drowning in flavor and spicy sauces. DAMN that was amazing!
Like I said...you go here for the amazing food...forget the rest.
