bulgogi quesadilla! this quesadilla was not worth it. we asked for the portion size beforehand and she measured much larger than what we were given. also, the cheese is microwaved on top and the red & white paper was ripping on the bottom into the quesadilla. it was also very soggy and the bulgogi was too chewy. not worth buying this. they did refund us upon taking the food back to the establishment, but all in all, i'm disappointed. read more

After not feeling comfortable upon entering one eatery, we decided to try K Seoul Bowl, which was very close. I hadn't eaten Korean food in a long time, and used to really love it, so we thought this may be a return to past pleasures. The food was mostly good - my order of bulgogi, my wife's order of teriyaki chicken, both were served in large portions over rice with dry salad (a pallet cleanser?) and japchae noodles. Also good were the 4 potstickers which arrived at our table as a bonus sample. We learned the Korean word for them is "mondu", but didn't say that on the menu. The gimbap was not great. The rice was off somehow. Maybe rolled too tight? The edges were dense and tough. None of the food was spicy, even with the addition of the extra hot sauce the waiter brought us. Kimchee - seemed like a fast made batch. It was good but not spicy enough and flavor was superficial instead of in depth that only longer fermentation can provide. The service- excellent! Armando took extremely good care of us, helping us to understand the selections and provide our special requests. The ambiance: the decor and layout looked like the spaces had previously been a BBQ joint which had some beautiful old pictures of (I presume) Korea added. Being someone who believes ambience can make the food (or at least the mood) much better, I would have liked to hear a traditional Korean song like "Arirang" or "Doraji" playing softly in the background. All in all, even with average food, it was a pleasant experience. read more

This place was dead during lunch dead, I wanted to walk out, my coworker said let's give them a try. They took over the old dickies bbq, still has some of their decor on there. Food was ok. Service was ok. What was bad: This place is kind of similar to poke bowl style, order your meal, add some toppers: They asked if I wanted Kim chi, I said put it to the side, I was charged $4 - $2 ea in a small sauce to go cup, typically for ranch or ketchup I was asked if I wanted sauce on my food, not knowing how it tastes, I said please put it to the side. They charged $1 for it, in a small Togo sauce dip container, probably like 1 oz How the heck do I get charged $5 extra dollars for something that is included in the meal $50 total including $5 tip with a surcharge, for like $20 of food. I'm never coming back here, and neither should anyone ever come here. These kind pricing practices for a new business will surely shut this place down. There's better places to spend read more

The food was delicious! I just wished it had more meat, but the amount was about fair for the price. My husband had the tonkatsu bowl and I had the NY steak bowl. The service was great, staff was very kind and attentive. We would definitely come back again! read more

Awesome customer service. The food was decent and well portioned. It was similar to several other Korean bowl places... with the exception they also did offer some interesting appetizers (japche, Korean pancake etc). The have indoor and shaded outdoor seating ( dog friendly outdoor seating). Food was made fresh. read more

The food was bland and overcooked and it wasn't very hot when I went to eat it. The person at the counter didn't give any help on ordering either. Now I know why they keep their restaurant so dark because if you look too closely at the food you probably won't want to eat it just by how it looks. Over all horrible experience... waste of money!! I was hoping this place would be good but I think I will stick with Bang Bang grill for glass noodles! read more

K seoul Bowl - Horrible - Korean Near Me - Visalia, California

the ambiance here was fine, it was clean and there was plenty of open tables. unfortunately the food wasn't very good, specifically the noodles in both bowls had an unpleasant texture and weird flavor (i normally love japchae, so this was disappointing). the potstickers were good and my friend liked the chicken teriyaki. i don't think i would come back because the food wasn't great overall and honestly the service was unfortunate. my friend got misgendered by the male staff member multiple times which i found to be rude and unnecessary. i really wanted to like this place so its unfortunate this is what the experience was. read more

K seoul Bowl - potsticker bowl, teriyaki chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Visalia, California

We'd heard this spot opened and we were excited to check it out. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the portions were great, and the employees were very friendly. The owner was there too, and he was very welcoming. Our group of 3 each got a bowl. We sampled the spicy pork and the Korean BBQ. Both were delicious. The pot stickers were pretty good too. Our bowls came with the meat, veggies, and then thin glass noodles on top of white rice. This was new for us, but we all thought it was excellent. The sauces were good too. We like spicy, and the spicy one, mixed with what I believe was a teriyaki sauce made for an excellent combination. If you're in the downtown Visalia area and want some good Asian fast food, this is a great spot. Normally, I don't do 5 stars for fast food, but the place was spotless, the staff were great, and the food was very reasonably priced and delicious, so I have nothing critical to say. The decor was nice as well. read more

I would honestly give 0 stars if I could worst customer service I've ever experienced, they took over an hour to bring me my teriyaki rice bowl, 2 things mind you took over an hour, and the Sprite I ordered tasted horrible I wouldn't be recommending this place to anyone read more

The service was great the girls behind the counter were very nice and explained the way the menu worked. My husband and I came in shortly after the grand opening for dinner on a weeknight. We were the only people there. The decor inside is still very much Dickie's BBQ- wagon wheel chandelier and all. Korean food is our favorite and we were really excited to try this place out. We really wanted to like this place but the food was terrible. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl my husband had the BBQ chicken bowl. The meat in my bulgogi bowl was flavorless and meager. The rice tasted old. The kimchi was also lacking spice, depth, fermentation everything- The japchae which is usually a favorite of mine was the worst I've ever had. My husband said the chicken tasted spoiled. And then you have to buy your drinks separately after paying almost 16.00 on a tiny literal bowl. We ordered pot stickers on the side as well and they to were completely tasteless. Neither of us finished our food , it was so gross. We will stick with Big Bang for our Korean food fix. Bummer we wasted 50 bucks on super crappy food. Never again. Yuck. read more

Apparently they are plates now and not bowls. I ordered and then was told that it would take along time to get my food which was totally okay. I chose a different protein to speed up the process. I was handed my food and I left. I get home to find that my order was missing the potstickers I paid for (I'll take ownership for not looking in the bag before leaving). I open my plate when I get home and there was a fly in my food!! waste of time, money, and food. read more

so yummy and the customer service was amazing dumplings were so flavorful . The lady at the Register brought us bulgogi to try too and she even went above and beyond to bring rice for my baby to eat 10/10 I'll be back read more

K seoul Bowl - Dumpling bowl - Korean Near Me - Visalia, California

Came here today and ordered $40 worth of food to try. Midday and no one was in here! Tried it anyways & ordered gimbap, gumi Mari, spicy pork bowl, and K Pancakes. So, they served us gimbap that was days old because the person that usually makes them was off..cmon!! If you're a worker there you should know how to and serve your paying customers fresh food! Pancakes were oily, soggy, and had no flavors. The gumMari was super crispy but inside wasn't cooked all the way through (straight from the freezer). The spicy pork bowl, the meat tasted like it was spoiled, the japchae had no flavors whatsoever. This is far from a taste of Seoul. Don't waste your time and money here!! read more

The place was okay overall. Food was definitely more expensive than it was worth, and the waiter kept forgetting pieces of our order, including the drinks. Inside was nice however, but I wouldn't really recommend this place to others. read more

First time here couple weeks ago. Ordered the beef bulgogi. Left and few hours later was feeling very unwell. I was only one to have the beef. No one else had any issues. Terrible next few days. Do better boys. Everything was great except the fallout- read more

The staff was really sweet considering we came in during a rush. The starters/ sides were really good but the main bowls were extremely bland and we were left very disappointed. Would have appreciated sauces on the table alongside the salt and pepper. read more

The food is lousy! All the meat choices look like they had been sitting all day. The Korean chicken was hard. Noodles have the consistency of rubber fishing lures. read more

Food was amazing, appreciated how well the server explained everything. You can really tell how much pride they take in their food. They're not the speediest service for sit down but maybe it was just the time we went. Overall will make this a frequent spot for us! read more

I would not recommend going to K Seoul Bowl in Visalia. They charge like $30 for a bulgogi bowl. They charge an extra dollar for sauce too. They asked me if I wanted pot stickers and I said yes. They charged me extra for that pot sticker. One pot sticker. The bowl is so small and the food doesn't even taste good. It's very bland, even with the sauce. I didn't finish the food even though I spent like $40 there for that tiny bowl. read more

So so yummy. Best Korean food in town - I appreciate the kpop playlist playing too. So cool seeing Visalia become more cultured over the years! read more

All the food had a good flavor! However, I was a bit disappointed since it was my first time trying it. The Korean pancake was slightly burnt, which affected its taste. I ordered the bulgogi bowl and the rose tteokbokki. Aside from that one issue, I was satisfied with everything else; everything tasted great! read more

I was looking for a cold drink since it has been hot so I went in here. The servers were polite and efficient. The air conditioning was nice and cold which felt great. I ordered the peach green tea. It was good but the green tea should be stronger. Would definitely come again read more

I stopped here to get something to drink while walking around downtown. I was literally 1 penny short of a $7 Red Bull and the cashier insisted I walk down the street to my car and get the penny. While I understand and respect policies, this was the most petty experience I've ever had a restaurant. While I'd love to try the food, there is no way I would further support a business who treats their customers this way.. read more

Today was our first time trying japchae, kimbimpap and k pancake. We also ordered the tai tea which was delicious and made with the nugget ice which is my favorite. The staff were wonderfully kind and patient while we looked over the menu and everything was hot and fresh. Highly recommend! read more
