Kiss My Seoul - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was a huge disappointment, particularly with the smash burger. I noticed a couple of specks of red pepper in the aioli, which I assumed was meant to be "kimchi. " However, it was just a regular burger, with absolutely no discernible Korean influence. Maybe the other dishes are good, but this was not what I expected.

My experience at this restaurant was excellent. The food, portion, and service were all top-notch. I was in the area for a meeting, and the price to portion ratio was fantastic. They even included a side of chicken due to an accidental input, which was a pleasant surprise. Both the chicken and the beef bulgogi were excellent, and I highly recommend them. The ordering and preparation process was also fast.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag, primarily centered around their cupbap and a disappointing taco. I opted for the regular size bulgogi cupbap for $16 and a single chicken taco for $5. The cupbap was incredibly generous; the container was filled to the brim, and the food was packed tightly. Even though I was quite hungry, I couldn't finish it all, suggesting the mini size might be better for lighter appetites. The cupbap itself featured plenty of bulgogi over a mix of vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, carrot, cauliflower) and rice, which was a blend of white and black rice, giving it a purple hue. It was garnished with green onion and sesame, and everything seemed seasoned with black pepper. The bulgogi was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the glass noodles had a pleasant sweet soy sauce flavor. The vegetables retained a nice crunch, though the rice was slightly mushy, likely due to the black rice. However, I cannot recommend the taco. It came with a single tortilla that became soggy from the salsa and chicken juices. The flavors didn't meld well; the chicken tasted like bulgogi, which clashed with the salsa. Both the salsa verde and salsa roja were bland. For better and cheaper tacos, I'd look elsewhere, like the Mission district. The restaurant offers plenty of seating and a small selection of packaged Korean snacks. The overall food quality for the cupbap was excellent, but the taco was a letdown. The service and atmosphere were rated a 5, indicating a positive experience in those areas.

My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The chicken was pretty dry, which was a disappointment. However, the rice was good. I agree with everyone that the Galbi was a highlight, though I found there was not enough meat and too many bones. Overall, the food quality was inconsistent.

My experience at this restaurant was just okay. I ordered a bowl, and while it was edible, it certainly wasn't worth the price. I wouldn't recommend it unless there are absolutely no other options available.

My experience at this fast food place was disappointing. I ordered the short ribs, but all I received were bones with burnt meat along them. The only edible items were the rice and glass noodles. I spent $20 and received the worst food, which makes me question if this is due to giving little tips.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, especially considering the price. I ordered the most expensive rice bowl, the short rib, which cost $20. To my dismay, it was primarily bones with virtually no meat. The little meat that was present along the bones was burnt. I will definitely avoid this place in the future.

My experience at this restaurant was with a take-out lunch. I ordered the Kimcheese Smashburger, which had a patty with a decent texture, though it might be too mushy for some. Unfortunately, it wasn't very tasty and tasted quite plain; it definitely didn't feel like a Korean food item. The Fries had a good texture but were a bit hard and under-seasoned. Overall, the food was a mixed bag.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag, primarily due to the inconsistently cooked Galbi. While the decor is simple and clean, and they offer a selection of convenience store items like ice creams, Asian snacks, and drinks, the main course was disappointing. The price, almost $20 after tax for a galbi bowl, felt a bit high, though I acknowledge inflation. The Galbi itself was cooked differently across pieces: some skinnier pieces were overcooked and black, while the fattier pieces were slightly undercooked and still pink. This inconsistency made for a very uneven meal.

Kiss My Seoul is a fantastic reason to visit the alley across from Hall of Justice, even if you don't have jury duty. I had a very well-priced, very large bowl of food with many ingredients. The pork I ordered was seasoned beautifully. This is now my go-to when I want "Seoul Food". 🖖😀
