    The eels were skinny, burnt, and takes long time to get. Even after calling ahead and making reservations with the menus we're ordering, when we arrived, she had no idea who we were.. I told her we called ahead and ordered food and told you what time we were arriving..but she still said it'll take a while.. Chicken was chewy and sauce too sweet. Makgeolli didn't taste good but some might like it.. all and all, we wouldn't go back. Waste of time & $250.

    Finally an authentic Korean restaurant located right off 209 in the town of Godeffroy NY. My wife and I discovered this unique Brand New restaurant through friends who live 5 minutes away. They specialize in fresh caught fresh water eel, trout and have some other Korean dishes along with all the kimchi sides you may be familiar with if you have dined authentic Korean cuisine before. This establishment is run by a very sweet couple Rosalyn and Peter Kim who had a restaurant in Wurtsboro ny before finding this gorgeous new space. The building is brand new and their customer base is Korean folks who travel from NYC and NJ to come and patronize their new venture. We spoke to Rosalyn about how the local community will be so welcoming as places like this gem are few and far between. Although their menu is short for now, they plan to expand it, have outdoor seating and a host of other attractions on the premises in the near future. We had the eel with sauce that was crunchy on one side and tender on the other and the bulgogi beef. The eel came out sizzling on a cast iron platter with an onion base that caramelized as it sat. The bulgogi was plated with rice noodles, broad noodles and some julienne peppers! Wonderful! The eel is made fresh so you should make a reservation and let them know you are going to have one of the eel dishes in advance (they are live before you arrive) They have a farm and all of the vegetables as well as the seafood are farm to table. They are also brewing and fermenting their own Makgeolli a traditional Korean rice wine. This is my first visit so I will be back to update my review as they expand the menu and drink selection. They just acquired their liquor license in January and the Makgeolli needs a month to ferment. This is going to be one of my new favorites as I come from Queens NY where I enjoy Korean cuisine all the time. Five stars all the

    Food was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and excellent. Worth the trip from NYC. Will be back.

    Americanized Korean place that mixes somewhat Westernized Korean food with slushies and ice cream…read more There's a good amount of seating (20-30 people), but it was completely empty during the length of our visit (early afternoon for lunch). The single hostess wasn't necessarily unpleasant but looked rather listless on her phone while we made our orders with her. I got the Jeyook Bokkeum (spicy pork) with purple rice. Can't really complain; it wasn't incredible, but it wasn't bad either. Banchan (side dishes) were decidedly average, however. We ordered the black sesame ice cream but halfway while eating it, we realized it wasn't actually black sesame (or at least didn't taste like it). Disappointing, but not enough to fully ruin the experience. Prices weren't great considering the quality of the food or location, but not prohibitive either. Considering the paucity of Asian food in Middletown, I'll give Seoul Sizzle a pass, but against greater competition, it probably wouldn't have lasted long in NYC.

    Finally made it back to Seoul Sizzle. The place was busy with online and takeout orders. So the…read moreservice was a bit slow. We had our usual favorites, bulgogi, bibimbap, and japchae. And our meal came with soup, miyeok guk (traditional Korean seaweed soup). I love this soup; it's usually served on birthdays to celebrate life, so you don't usually find this in other Korean restaurants. It's light and savory. The owner is really sweet, but I'm glad the restaurant is thriving from the last time I was here.
