The food was incredible everything we got was mouth watering, we got the chicken burrito bowl, birria grilled cheese and the Korean fried chicken sandwich. Felt like I wanted to make camp and live in the restaurant. The service was so sweet and treated us like family. Also the music and artwork added a lovely ambiance to the whole restaurant! read more

Nuevo Seoul - Asian Fusion Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Nuevo Seoul is a quaint little establishment tucked away in Detroit you must try. The decor is cozy & inviting, old school hip hop blessed our ears while dining in. The staff is super friendly & suggestive on their menu favorites. We always start with some delicious margaritas and a chips, salsa, & guacamole flight. This is a fusion establishment, so we had to get some Korean wings- mouth watering, and one of the reasons I will be back very soon. The short rib birria is some of the best in the area. This is a must. We accidentally stumbled in on a Taco Tuesday. You may mix and match your 3 choices. I definitely appreciated this! All of the tacos are amazing. We finished with a churro fried ice cream- the best I've ever had. Be sure to check out this hidden gem. Perfect for lunch, date night, friends night out, anytime! read more

Service was good and the location is set up for a good time, tugged away with an outdoor area, bar, and indoor seating. I was excited to try this place; however, the taste and quality fell a bit short. Server apologized as it seemed like they were out on a few options due to vendor mix up. Personally the wings were too greasy, and the sauces didn't hit quite well (spicy honey and Korean bbq). The corn in the cup was good, though I asked for a side of tajin to add and since they didn't have cotija they poured mozzarella which just hit a little different. My friends had the tacos and despite there being two tortillas per tacos, the tortillas fell apart, seemed like store bought tortillas. Perhaps others have a better day eating here than us. read more

My husband surprised me with Screen N Supper tickets. It was such a great experience & a good time! The setup was perfect. We paid a few dollars extra for a table up front. There were 7 courses & 3 cocktails. I love the fact that they encourage pictures (regret the fact that my flash was off for most of them). The staff were on point! They were friendly & explained things well. Kept the courses flowing & tables clean. I love the variety of dishes! We watched The Grinch. I have to go back for Shrek. This was a 10/10 experience for sure. read more

I've heard about this place for a while now. It keep showing up on my insta feedback. We wanted the dumplings they were out. The wings were light and crispy and the sauces were delicious but the wing quality was sub par, small, chewy and broken bones. The nachos tasted like street corn but there was no layering. Everything was dumped on top. They were good but with a little finesse they could be great. The place was cool but no one was there. I have to say I was disappointed although our server tried. They added a gratuity to our tip for two people. ODD Need less to say, I probably won't be back, my lunch date wasn't impressed and barely ate. read more

Nuevo Seoul is right between Campus Martius and Hart Plaza, so fantastic location right in the heart of downtown. They are halal friendly and typically easy to just walk in. In terms of parking, it's mainly just street parking as it's in the center of everything. While I thought the food was good, I don't think it was anything to write home about, but a decent Mexican-Asian fusion and worth it for a quick stop for an quick lunch/dinner if you're in the area. read more

Nuevo Seoul - Burrito - Asian Fusion Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place has a Korean-Mexican fusion menu. The birria grilled cheese was so good! I also liked the elote. The chicken wings were decent. The quesadilla with kalbi beef could of done with more meat in it. All the meat except pork is halal. Overall, had a good experience here. read more

Nuevo Seoul is, to me, the coolest taco place in Downtown Detroit. The Korean influence makes for really cool tacos and burritos. The cocktails are similarly fun hybrids of both cuisines. The service had been consistently great with every trip I've made, and the small but artistic space impresses me anew each trip. read more

I must be missing something. First time here. No one but us in the restaurant. Ordered two appetizers to share. The pulled chicken nachos and chorizo dumplings. They were out of the dumplings so we got wings. The service was excellent, but the food not so much. The nachos were ok, but nothing special. They were missing something fresh and bright. The wings were awful in my opinion. Little tiny misshaped D quality wings. The sauce were fine, but very little meaty, chewy, and they didn't taste fresh. As in the chicken was old. Even the Diet Coke tasted strange. Be warned!!!! They add the tip to the bill even for a party of 2. The interior was trying to be cool but the tables are awkward to sit at. read more

Very good Korean-Japanese-Mexican fusion cuisine, their birria ramen was great, as were their elote and also other appetizers like their egg rolls. Service was also excellent, and they have more authentic beverages like horchata and the Jamaica drink with strawberry. Spacious interior as well. It is a bit hard to find though, you have to go to the left and behind where the Tropical Smoothie place is. Recommended! read more

Stopped by again for the birria ramen, which is so good, and tried the chicken wings and kimchi fries this time. The kimchi fries are so good. Tons of flavor and fresh toppings; perfect. The wings were just ok. Very heavily breaded - honestly I'm not sure if they're homemade or frozen - and tossed in a mostly sweet maybe a little bit spicy sauce. I think I'd go for the sandwich if I get chicken again. Glad to have them as an option downtown. read more

Came back for the chicken wings and It was good overall! Super tender wings and nicely fried and crisp. Not crazy over the sauce flavorings but I'm usually more of a fan with soy garlic flavors, it's hard to find the right gochunang based sauces that I really like. Horchata was delicious. It had more of a spice that I don't taste often in horchata. I cannot pinpoint which spice but it was light and perfect sweetness. Quesadilla Birria was okay. I think it's the same as the Korean bread version. Just different carb. Elote was good but a little too saucy for my liking but loved how it was served hot! Overall food is still just good but not memorable. If I ever came back again, definitely sticking to the chicken and possibly try other taco meat choices. read more

First off, the staff and service is amazing! Such nice friendly faces that are quick on their feet and super helpful. The food was a little underwhelming. We ordered the Birria quesadilla, Korean chicken sandwich, and wings. The wings were probably my favorite. Don't get me wrong, the food was good! But we are craving to come back here. I recommend trying for yourself! read more

Nuevo Seoul - Birria quesadilla, Korean Chicken Sandwich, Wings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The food wasn't bad, but I expected more of a Korean-Mexican fusion. While I could taste the Mexican birria flavors, which made for decent Mexican-American food, the Korean elements didn't stand out. I was hoping for either the sweetness of Korean bulgogi or the twang of gochujang, but both were missing. I ordered two items: the Birria Ramen and the Birria Quesadilla. Birria Ramen - It tasted like cup ramen noodles mixed with birria soup and some short rib meat. Unfortunately, the short rib was dry, and the dish lacked that distinctive Korean fusion flavor. Birria Quesadilla - As a quesadilla, it was decent. The short rib was was a nice addition, but it needed some sort of thick Korean bulgogi sauce to enhance the fusion aspect. A gochujang-infused Mexican dipping sauce would have been bonus points instead of the standard salsa options provided. read more

Food was good we went in while we were visiting the auto show, it was busy than usual ended up waiting for 15 mins but the staff we were polite and trying to turn the tables as fast as they could... The ambiance s a nice place to chill and hangout for a good meal . The food was good even tho it was busy we were able to Get the order soon ... among wat we ordered the kimchi fries were the best .. the chicken tacos were good too... I oly wished instead of tofu if they have used any other vegan meat option it would have been more flavorful as the tofu . But overall a good place to visit for a quick meal . read more

We were downtown at a weird time so most restaurants we wanted to go to were closed. This was open though. It is a Mexican Korean fusion place. I feel it leave more Mexican though. And the menu is small. What we had was fine. We tried the grilled cheese and birria tacos. The tacos were solid. I'd get those again. The grilled cheese was ok. Same with the salsa. Nothing blew me away. Overall it was solid for what it was: a place open at a weird time and decent good. I probably wouldn't go back though bc the food wasn't anything special. read more

Ok another day another restaurant food review ..... wizards are making this food in the kitchen im sure of it OMG food was Amazing this is a Mexican and Korean fusion we had chorizo Mondu (beef/chorizo wonton fried dumpling) Korean chicken wings. Korean barbecue sauce/spicy soy honey sauce ..then We had birra Ramen. We also had a Birra quesadilla. I had three different types of tacos. Bulgogi beef. Gochujang chicken spicy pork. our waitress was awesome she hooked us up with some free dessert churro chips an a free shot to try out . 10/10 will be back for sure food was amazing read more

Reasonably happy with this spot but some room for improvement. Prices were definitely very high for the food. However, everything was pretty good. Went for the shrimp tacos and was pretty happy. Pork tacos very underwhelming. Bulgogi tacos made it worth going back. Incredible flavor. Brought home tacos and a quesadilla to my partner. Two cocktails. Pricey for small and slim glasses but very tasty. Tacos were a bit much for zero side. No rice, no beans, no chips. Nothing. Service was friendly and the vibe was a bit weird but generally nice. We ordered fries to split and they only had baskets to give us for us to share with and seemed a bit put out that we asked. A bit weird. Worth giving another shot though! Fun and different. read more

Nuevo Seoul - Asian Fusion Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Down a cute alley next to the juice bar place. Same street as Chop House. This place is cute. It's kinda confusing with the vibe, music, and food like the place doesn't know who it is or have one identity but lots of them! I sat at the bar. Ordered a Dragonfruit Marg. It's good. Small for 14 dollars. A lot of ice. I wouldn't get a cocktail from here again at this price. Disappointing. Plastic-wear. Food is in baskets. I did order the gochujang shrimp tacos... at 16 dollars you get three and lots of shrimp. These tacos came out almost immediately. I do not like the tortilla at all. It's dry. I don't think there's a lot of favor here just tastes plain the spice is there but not the beauty and power of gochujang. Bartenders are nice. Haven't checked on me since I ordered. They seem really busy but there's not a lot of people in here. This would be a fun work thing or cute first date or take home food. I came alone and feel comfortable. Drinks are pricey for the size. I took five sips and it was gone. Three stars. Doris kinda approved. It could be better and it just feels rushed, overpromised, and nothing special. read more

The birria ramen was my favorite. The tacos I got were the gochujang chicken, spicy pork, and bulgogi beef. The meats were dry but had good flavor to it. Their cocktails were very tasty and picture-worthy. The clouds over jeju and vibe check were definitely a must-try! Overall, this place is a bit pricey for their food and gratuity is automatically added 18% to the bill which I was frustrated about because their service was not good at all. They barely checked on us and the food was missing at first. This place is cute and clean and good for a cute hangout with friends. read more

I was excited to get to Nuevo. The restaurant was decent, not comfortable, not welcoming, not warm. Something that you'd expect at a hospital. Small tables uncomfortable chairs. My Ramen Birria had undercooked noodles and was served in a container . Not a bowl. It could use seasoning especially spices. It's asking for seasoning with each bite. The fries however, were cooked perfectly. Agua Fresca was heavy and not refreshing. $8 for a very small glass. (I may just be used to Maganados and SW Detroit). The chicken could also be cooked a little longer but, it was the tastiest dish next to the fries. read more

It was ok. That's my best take away. The ambiance has potential but it kind of gives cafeteria in the inside. Requested to sit outside which was better. Decor is cute but odd, the flowers outside did not go with the other decor. OK on to food, I couldn't tell the fusion part but there was food that was Korean and food that was allegedly Mexican but no fusion of the two necessarily. My food was good however. The birria quesadilla were delicious!!! Yum!! Nachos were ok as well. My chicken sandwich was just ok. The sweet spicy sauce was a little too sweet for me. Service was ok, one server who looked more in our age group came over and gave drink recommendations. The pina colada slushie while normally not a go to for me was pretty solid. Check it out. Just opened within a few months so I expect it'll get better. read more

Finding The Restaurant Itself wasn't difficult, but it was unexpected if that makes sense lol. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich & Fries that I enjoyed. It was crispy and juicy, they allow you to choose a sauce to have the chicken dipped in which was a plus. The service was pleasant and restaurant was a Spanish American vibe. I'll probably be back to try something different on the menu next. read more

This place has a great location, but that's about it. The food was in general pretty flavorless for a Korean and Mexican fusion restaurant. Their spiciest sauce was more like a medium. The birria ramen was the best thing but I wouldn't go back for it. The chicken sandwich was really soggy. I wouldn't have been too mad had our bill been $40-50, but for the price I expected it to be better. As far as ambiance the plastic trays felt cheap for how expensive the food was. I also think they need to dim the lighting a bit. The thing I was most annoyed about was it was $14 for a margarita (not an issue) but it was so weak and watered down. I really hope since they just opened they make some changes so that the price reflects the quality or vice versa. read more

nuevo seoul is a solid option for a quick bite (dine in or take out) in downtown detroit. i got the burrito bowl with bulgogi beef and gochujang chicken to-go, and it did not disappoint. the asian fusion flavors paired with the burrito bowl elements worked unexpectedly well, and i thoroughly enjoyed my bowl. the service is very friendly, i walked in and placed an order for takeout and got it in around 10-12 minutes. the interior has a considerable amount of seating but i can see it getting busy during peak hours. i would definitely recommend nuevo seoul if you're in the area! read more

This was a good one! I got the birria tacos made from Korean short ribs (supposed to be fusion, but didn't taste anything Korean; still delicious). These are comfort food tacos, with plenty of tender beef and cheese (and dipping sauce) that won't leave you hungry after finishing. The server was super nice and helpful too. (Note: this place adds automatic 18% gratuity to your meal). I would come back here and recommend to anyone wanting to try something different. Well done! read more

A very cool and chill place downtown. The ambiance is festive; lots of laughter-bellicose. Service was very friendly and they seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food is fantastic-some of the best birria tacos around the D, and my wife loved her chicken sandwich. Be nice to get some real cutlery and the soju is expensive so be warned. But otherwise a nearly ideal summer place for a casual date or friends. read more

This is a great space. We had the birria ramen, kimchi fries (we added bulgogi beef), and the kalbi quesadilla . The fries are so good. The kimchi isn't too much and adding the protein was a huge win. The ramen was delicious - I would add a side of kimchi next time but I love kimchi. My favorite item was the kalbi quesadilla. It was sweet and savor its crispy and gooey. This is a new spot you MUST try if you are downtown. I highly recommend this place!! read more

So I've been here once before but I only had drinks. The staff wasn't all that great. They act like they don't see you and like they barely want to serve you. I didn't eat that time but my friends did and they said the food was good. They tried the tacos and the ramen. I was excited to come back and try the food. I finally returned the other day and the service was no different. It took a while for me to be acknowledged. I ate a good portion of my food without silverware. But let's get into the food. I was initially upset because even though you get 3 tacos, you can't mix and match proteins. I got the bulgogi tacos and they were absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't blame it on them though, it's just not for my taste buds. Bulgogi beef is really sweet and it just may be an acquired taste but it was gross to me. The green sauce was the only one that kind of cut the sweetness and made them bearable to eat. Had I been able to mix and match proteins, that would've been one bad tacos instead of a whole bad meal. I ended up just throwing the tacos in the trash and going to McDonalds. Waste of $14. The only positive thing I have to say is that their music playlist is 10/10. read more
