Another fun Korean restaurant field trip with my parents- this time to So Korean Grill in Philly…read more They're pretty picky, so I'm always curious to hear their verdict. This one was a winner. My dad's review: Good interior Good atmosphere Good food. Meanwhile, I'm still ordering mul-naengmyeon every time. It's the perfect summer meal for this perimenopausal ajumma. Lol The servers there were really welcoming and kind. Also patient as it took my parents like 15 min to decide. We will def be back!

Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was surprisingly quiet. We went specifically hoping for yukhoe…read morebecause we saw it on a photo outside and yes, they do have it. It just is not on the printed menu. Very cool, but also slightly chaotic. If you speak Korean, there is basically an unlocked menu situation. Same with tteokbokki. Not listed, but available. Love that for the insiders. The only downside is you do not really know all the prices ahead of time, and things ended up being a little higher than expected. It is right next to H Mart though, so prime real estate. The yukhoe came out still a tiny bit frozen in the center, but the seasoning was great. Nicely balanced sesame oil, garlic, a little sweetness. They mix it for you at the table which is a nice touch. We were mid mixing and they tried to take our picture which caught us off guard, but honestly it is a fair trade for how attentive and kind they were. Seafood tofu pot was a bit underwhelming protein wise. One shrimp and maybe two squid rings. Not exactly seafood heavy. That said, the broth itself had good depth and the tofu was silky and comforting. Service was warm and attentive the whole time. The space is super picturesque. Small booths with grills built into the tables, wooden frames, very traditional KBBQ vibes. Cozy and cute without feeling cramped. Overall, good experience. Just a little pricey and I wish everything was clearly listed on the menu. But vibes and service are definitely there.

We went in without realizing all the food court is closing at 7:30pm we arrived on the dot and he kindly took my order. I ordered dungchi kimbab and ramen. Kimbab was huge and so delicious!!! I love kimbab and this wad the best in philly! They gave me two side of yellow radish pickle and homemade kimchi which were good! And Before the owner leaves for the day, he put one bottle of water on my tray! What a kindness ! Because i was so busy ordering food before the closing, i didnt think to order water, turned out it was much needed for me I cannot wait to go back for more and try something else as well!! Highly recommended

The downside of this place is the pricing and the inconsistent sizes of the chicken wings. The way they price the sauce felt pricey. It's $2 per flavor and not dependent on the amount of wings purchased, which is what I'm used to at other places. I got 24 wings and wasn't able to do half half unless I pay $4 for the two flavors. The size of the wings also varies -- some are normal sized and some are tiny.

3.5/5 Let me start by saying I am comparing the toast I've…read morehad in South Korea to this place. Got the ham toast, upgraded the bread for garlic bread. Came out to $9.70 after tax. Egg to ham ratio was off. Large amounts of fluffy scrambled egg to just one wimpy slice of ham. As you can see in the photo, you can't see any ham. Dosed in some sort of sweet garlicky mayo sauce, it was almost too sweet to finish (I took 3 bites and didn't finish). The garlic bread was soft, thick, and buttery. Typically the toasts in Korea have veggies like shredded cabbage to help balance the richness and sweetness of the toasts and it was definitely missed here. They also had korean corndogs which I did not try.

We just walked in on a Saturday night, without a reservation, and did get a table, but it filled up shortly after. I loved the bonchon they served after we sat down. I love kim chi and all things fermented; so it was a nice way to start our meal! I ordered the kimchi fried rice with shrimp, which was good, but I probably wouldn't order again. The flavor was one note, I wish it had more veggies in it and I'm not sure why it is served on a bed of melted cheese. My husband got to hot Bibimbop bowl (the hot one), and he paid extra for bulgogi beef. This was a very flavorful dish that I highly recommend!! I also had a couple of the pomegranate soju drinks which I enjoyed; similar in taste to a vodka cranberry.

Not sure I'd come back again.
