Seoul Bowl - Reviews

I wanted to love it, but I really only liked it quite well. Either way, I’ll still be coming back because I did enjoy my meal. I thought the “sweet and spicy rice cakes” were just a translation for tok bokki. Note to self and you: not teok bok-ki. The rice cakes seemed air fried and the sweet and spicy sauce was drizzled on top. I was surprised, but enjoyed them a lot. I also had a tofu bowl which felt over priced ($16. 95) for the quantity of food in it. Still the quality and taste was better than ok and I loved that they had whole grain (black/purple) rice available. They greeted me the moment I walked in the door and were quite service-oriented. Eating area was spacious and very clean. Recommend. Sorry, was too hungry to remember to take a picture before eating 😂

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, offering a super filling lunch with the flexibility to customize my meal. I really appreciated that I could get all the toppings I wanted for no extra charge, though the cheese fall and egg did cost extra. The service was very accommodating; I was able to sub rice for salad, request half and half proteins, and always ask for all the sauces without any hesitation. However, there was a minor issue when they were out of their regular bowls, and the shallower, smaller bowls were not ideal. Additionally, while I always request all the toppings, they often forget the potato, which I tried once and found to be like a cold potato salad. I believe the addition of a brown rice option would make this place perfect.

I was excited to try the Seoul Bowl near my work, having loved the one on Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, my experience with the bulgogi beef bowl was almost inedible. The beef ranged from flavorless to sour, lacking the usual taste I'm accustomed to from the other location. Initially, I tried to overlook it, but the taste became so off-putting that it almost made me throw up, and I had to give up. Additionally, the hours are inconvenient. On a positive note, the service was great!

My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The food was seriously terrible and, at the same time, boring to eat. I struggled through the first few bites, and by the third, I felt like I wanted to vomit and throw the food away. The kimchi was also so sour and not fresh, and the ingredients were overcooked. Considering the price is not cheap at all, I expected much more. I was excited to bring my friends here, but we were all so disappointed with the food. The restaurant needs to live up to the price they charge.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I tried the bbq chicken bowl, but the chicken was still pink inside and lacked any bbq flavoring. Due to this experience, I don’t think I will go here again.

My experience at this food truck, which surprisingly has five brick-and-mortar locations, was a mixed bag. While the food was good, it was disappointing that they ran out of it. The customer service, however, was great.

I ordered the build-your-own bulgogi beef bowl, which included purple rice, roasted corn, kimchi, and yum-yum + hot sauce. Unfortunately, the bowl was quite disappointing, primarily due to the beef. For a restaurant that heavily promotes its Korean BBQ bowls, getting the beef right is crucial. The beef here was unacceptable; it was dry, tough, overcooked, and lacked flavor. I stopped eating halfway through because it wasn't worth finishing. The corn was okay but a bit excessive. The kimchi was barely noticeable, and the purple rice didn't taste special. Considering it cost about $17 for lunch, it's a pretty expensive meal. I believe there are better and cheaper options available, even specifically Korean ones. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for a relatively expensive bowl.

My experience at the restaurant was decent. The wings were pretty good, earning a food score of 4. I plan to try the bowl next time, as it seemed like a better lunch option. The service received a score of 3, and the atmosphere was rated a 2.

My experience was one of frustration due to incorrect operating hours. The restaurant does not open until 10: 30 AM, which was not reflected on their website or the listing I used. Because of this discrepancy, I was unable to try any of the food, so I have no opinions on the food quality, service, or atmosphere.

My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing, particularly with the food. I ordered a bulgogi bowl with added egg and japchae. Unfortunately, I found the freshness and quality of the food to be lacking this time. Everything tasted a little too sweet, including the potato salad and the beef. The dishes were also excessively saucy and didn't seem fresh, such as the kimchi, jalapeno, and onions. Given this experience, I don't think I would return for lunch. On a positive note, there was nothing wrong with the service.
