I've been curious about Seoul Bap for a while and finally made a visit during lunchtime. Small dining area with K-pop playing on the TV. While we waited for our food, we watched a steady stream of customers pop in for to-go orders. The Tofu Bowl is tasty! Generous amount of well-seasoned tofu with broccoli and vegan kimchi. I would easily order this again. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seoul-bap-carson?start=360&select=-a7_XrQ0ldFhHp9BEquO6A We also ordered a side of Japchae which hit all the right notes. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/seoul-bap-carson?start=360&select=A_siOYWwBr5ZlliuWzRD4A I appreciate that the menu marks all vegan options. I'll likely come back again. The only thing that might stop me is the small parking lot that is shared with Walmart. read more

If you are a fan of delicious food, packed with flavor, then I suggest coming in! I love KBBQ and am so glad this joint opened up. Its so heartwarming to see two sisters open up a shop and create delicous culinary meals, sharing their culture and love for food with the rest of us. I am grateful I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend because I now have a solid go-to joint whenever I'm hungry. The parking is tight, but you can get lucky. I ordered the two meat combo plate and it was incredible. I ordered the beef bulgogi and fried chicken, so bomb!! It comes with my choice of purple rice, then some other fixings like radish and Kimchi. Amazing. High recommend! read more

This place is linked within Seoul Bap, but as its own side thing thanks to their Korean American sisters, according to their website. I was craving some Korean fried chicken, so I checked out SEOULCIAL Chicken. It was my first time and I ordered the Honey Butter because it was promoted as a Korean popular flavor filled with sweet, savory and salty goodness. When I arrived to pick up my order, I asked for the other sauces on the side just so I could try a sample of them before ordering something different the next time I go. The lady who helped me was extremely nice and hospitable. She even told me to try their Sweet & Spicy chicken next time because it's her favorite! It made me more excited to try that particular sauce. The other sauce they have is the soy garlic, which is made organically in house. Their menu also offers japchae, kimchi, bulgogi, along with various choices of Korean desserts as well. The ambiance is bright and it's a small place, so it's big enough to be a chill spot and a grab and go at the same time. SEOULCIAL Chicken is such a great alternative to their Seoul Bap because I feel it represents the younger, fusion side of their business while still embracing the older side with the Seoul Bap section. I am definitely coming back to their traditional Korean fried chicken and their wings with other sauces! Also, I need to try their bulgogi bowls! read more

One of my favorite to-go places for Korean comfort food! As you step in, you're hit with a warm and cozy feeling like you're just at home. The sounds of the grill sizzling, groups of people talking and having a good time adds to the feeling of a miniature version of Seoul. All the basic dishes like Kimbap, Rice bowls, Tteokbokki, KFC (with different flavors to choose from!) and they all taste amazing. Only downside would be how expensive the dishes are, but what makes up for it are the workers being so kind and making sure that your food is perfect, and sure enough it never disappoints. read more

Came here a few times while I was in the area for a quick relatively healthy bite. I'm not usually a fan of kimbap but theirs is pretty tasty. Price is affordable, staff is nice, place is pretty small so it's for to-go purchases only. Whenever I'm in the area I like to check if they have anything available at the end of day to pick up. read more

Passed by here very quickly after doing some last minute grocery shopping and I ordered a veggie kimbap. Served immediately, they have some prepared in advance. Super friendly cashier.

I will definitely be back to try more. read more

I got the Korean "lunch" box - called a dosirak. I got the fried chicken. I tried the soy garlic but they also gave me a side of the sweet and spicy (not spicy), which was the cashiers recommendation. Kimchi is spicy! Broccoli was refreshing. Japchae eh. Dumplings tiny but good. And salad nice but just spring lettuce w a thin soy sauce like dressing. Next time I'll get the fried chicken bowl special w fries and a drink for like $11.99 or something. Love that you order at the counter and then sit down. Service was great Ambience was quiet when I went. Right next to Walmart in the parking lot at del Ami & avalon blvd. Plenty of parking. And near a bus stop. $2 sodas and $4 Mexican colas. Kimbap but I didn't try it. read more

Wow, what an amazing experience! Julie was so kind and incredibly helpful. The place was clean, and the service was fast. I pre-ordered, so pickup was super quick. The food was delicious! The only issue I had was that there was a small piece of hair on the bag when I picked it up, and it was a bit tricky to find the location online it's listed as "Seolcial Chicken," but the sign and maps say "Seoul Bap," which made it confusing. Overall, I definitely recommend trying it out! read more

Seoul Bap has been coming to save me on the quiet Saturday shift I work! The food is yummy, portions are plentiful, the options are great.

Seoul Bap - Two 2 Protein Plate - Korean Near Me - Carson, California

Please Carson. Let's keep them in business. I tried this place tonight for dinner takeout. I ordered the sweet and spicy kaarage chicken bowl, the spicy pork bowl, and the short ribs bowl all with white rice as the base. And a vegetable kimbap. Service at the counter when ordering was great. My order was repeated and I received my correct order. I didn't eat inside but waited for my order at a table. Inside has about 7 tables. There's a TV in the corner with K-Pop music videos playing. Inside was nice. Clean. All was delicious. The green sauce is one of my favorite things. When I eat Peruvian food I put it on my fried rice. That stuff is good on everything. Their green sauce is good. The kaarage is perfect. Crunchy, spicy, juicy. The Kalbi is prepared well. They do it right. The spicy pork (bulgogi) was also delicious. Perfect balance on all the dishes. I highly recommend. I'll do my part as a patron. read more

Seoul Bap - Spicy pork bowl - Korean Near Me - Carson, California

Oooh, I'm a fan of Seoul Bap. My wife and I went for an easy Saturday lunch. I had the korean fried chicken rice bowl, and my wife had hers with spicy chicken. Both were loaded and generous with the meat. I could only finish about half of mine and save the rest for later. My chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce was tasty. I could do with a little more spicy, but my wife gave me all her jalapeños. He kimchi and pickled onions helped too. We also got a side of japchae noodles, which are always a favorite of ours. I'd come back for sure. The inside is quite simple, and clean. The cashier was friendly and nice. read more

Seoul Bap - Korean Fried Chicken Bowl was very tasty! - Korean Near Me - Carson, California

I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet but I come here like at least once a month or so. I think when they first opened I was hyper fixated with their Korean fried chicken bowl, my husband bought it for me 2x in one week lol I'm giving my rating and review based on the many times I have came and the consistency of service, taste, and overall experience. Hands down one of the best restaurants for fast Korean food. Their bowls here are hefty and super good. I'm super biased to say the KFC bowl is the best. Come at me, but I don't get anything else tbh. I have tried other bowls, proteins, specials but it's that bowl that has my heart. Their gimbap is also fire & they have Mexican Coke. So yeah. I will say that there were times where the flavor was not consistent. It happened twice or so, and I was curious if they had a new chef. It didn't seem busy at the time but I still decided to come back. Today's was definitely bussin and I was happy. There was another time that they mixed up my order for the KFC flavor. When I told Julie (I think) she brought me the flavor I asked for. So overall, I still love this place. The restaurant is cute and homey. All my photos are taken different days. read more

Really good food for a great price! I especially liked the beef kimbap, it was very flavorful and the veggies were nice and crunchy. The service was also great, the guy at the front was so nice. The place is a little hidden in a lot next to a Walmart but once inside, there is a beautiful tiger mural and a few tables. I also liked that they participate in 'Too Good to Go' so they are making sure they do not have as much food waste as other restaurants :) read more

Seoul Bap - Inside - Korean Near Me - Carson, California

We arrived for lunch on a Monday, and the staff was so welcoming and kind. There was little to no wait, and as our group settled in, we could see how this restaurant has become a solid establishment for the locals. The food was amazing - authentic and well-balanced. My partner got a dosirak, and the fried chicken and gyoza were still hot from the fryer. I settled for a purple rice bowl with beef bulgogi. It tasted like home. We got an order of gimbap to go, and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this wonderful place. read more

Followers of mine and even people I know IRL may be surprised to hear that I've been going through a dry spell this summer, encountering a handful of idiots and difficult people with a side of other crap going on. That even included a recent visit to a nearby area that's made me quite apprehensive about returning, though such an act would have entailed completely missing out on this fine Korean eatery on the northeast corner of Del Amo and Avalon. And this Korean eatery is so fine that it seriously made me forget about all those idiots and difficult people I mentioned in the first paragraph, even if it meant missing out on their Seoul Juice. More on that later. Seoul Bap recently replaced Legend Hot Chicken, retaining the interior setup of the former occupant. I saw that Seoul Bap had a Yelp check-in offer of a KFC sampler*. Not Colonel Sanders KFC, but rather, Korean Fried Chicken as utilization of such fowl would almost be perceived as a foul in Korean cuisine. When I asked Aaron at the front counter, he said it'd be four pieces of their boneless fried chicken, which can come in one of two flavors: Sweet & Spicy or Soy Garlic. Tough choice, but I went with Sweet & Spicy. Of course, I'd be remiss to not order an entree alongside the complimentary KFC sampler, so I went with a dosirak even though I hadn't heard of the name before that day. It's like a Korean bento box, though their website says lunch box instead, and I'm hoping that doesn't mean it's only available during lunch hours because I'd love to eat it for dinner as well! Since I was already getting chicken, I didn't want to choose a chicken protein, so I went with a pork. I initially chose pork belly, but then decided to ask Aaron about spicy pork since the name was a little vague. After he described it, I realized it was similar to the beef bulgogi, but with pork instead, so I switched to the spicy pork. I also asked about their Seoul Juice, but they were unfortunately out of stock, as indicated on their website. That was a little disappointing because I wanted to get some for family visiting from out of state. I asked Aaron how long it would take for them to prepare my meal. I was expecting at least 10 minutes, but he said only about 7-8, which was spot on! I sat at a table by the left wall facing the TV in the far corner showing some KPOP music videos at a soft to moderate volume that would still allow for conversations at a normal voice level. During my wait, I noticed they had utensils at the front counter, which I forgot to pick up the first time, so I grabbed a couple. Turns out I didn't need to because when Aaron handed me my tray, there was already a fork and some chopsticks. Oops?! lol The Dosirak was great! Everything tasted fresh, and I was even given a cup of their signature green sauce and a cup of (soy?) sauce. For a lunch box of this size, I easily could have used a second cup of each, but I think there would have been an upcharge for that. The KFC sampler was presented on a small, circular, styrofoam tray, and I'm thinking it was the same KFC that was on my Dosirak, which may have disappointed me a little because then I would have chosen the Soy Garlic so as to get the best of both worlds. In addition to the KFC, I also got some banchan like japchae, pickled vegetables, broccoli, and a small salad that was very tightly packed. Japchae is a premium option for your base, and I almost went with that instead of purple rice. Glad I chose the purple rice to be underneath the spicy pork! Lastly, there were some fried dumplings (potstickers?) next to the spicy pork. A Dosirak is $6 more than a bowl, but you get so much more that I'd say it's worth trying at least once. However, it's twice as much as a bowl if you order between the hours of 3 and 5 PM on weekdays. As I was about to leave, I wanted to get a water cup at the cooler by the front counter. There was a sticker that said "Do not touch" so I almost thought it'd be motion-sensored. Aaron noticed I was struggling with the cooler and offered to help. Turns out I had to hit the small button in the back. Then why would it have said "Do not touch"?! lol but he did mention I wasn't alone in that regard. He also asked how I liked the food. I replied by saying something the King of Soul (not Seoul lol) might say: "Seoul good!" Aaron at the front was fantastic, answering my multiple questions about the menu. Except I'm not sure what he was doing by the long community table with a bunch of cups of (soy?) sauce lying there? And I'm not sure why they even had that many cups in the first place, but his work ethic impressed me, which I don't say a whole lot in an era where it seemed like good customer service would come at a premium. I was also given a stamp card where you can get your 10th bowl free! A plate or dosirak would count towards the 10, but I'm not sure if the 10th can be one of those two? TL;DR: Seoul food from Seoul Bap is Seoul good, especially for your Seoul! read more

The food was amazing! Fresh and great portion size! I ate every bite! Very hospitable and kind service as well as a clean establishment.

I've never been to a take-out korean bowl place before, so this is a first. This place is located next to the Walmart Carson market. Parking lot is fairly sized and there are a few other businesses at this shopping center. Pickup took a little time as they were closing, but they were very friendly. I got the spicy chicken bowl which comes with a generous portion of chicken, grain rice, kim chicken, pickled veggies, and broccoli. Also had some Jap chae. Everything was very good and a good value for what you pay. I ate only 1/3 of the bowl and have some leftovers for tomorrow. Delicious! read more

Service is nice, food tastes 10/10 I feel happy and love to come here on Monday and Wednesday after I did the gym.

Tried this place for lunch today. Seoul Bap is in a plaza with small businesses and a Walmart Family Market. Parking was challenging AND the spots are pretty tight. Small area with benches right outside the front door. When asked about the spice level, I was told "it's not spicy, more sweet and warm." What the heck does "warm" mean? Made no sense. I ordered the #1 Beef Bulgogi Bowl. They were all out of purple rice. The Kim chi was too spicy for me and the onions were cut very big and almost tasted raw. I also had the dumplings. Dipping sauce was missing any or more rice wine vinegar. Both were delicious. The bowl was a decent size as well. Ok, bye. read more

Seoul Bap is a small, trendy little Korean bowl spot located in Carson in the same lot as Walmart. It was my first visit and I was pretty excited to try the food. Came in the afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. I was greeted by a very friendly cashier (I wish I caught his name right thank him) who waited patiently as I selected my food items. I picked 2 appetizers - the fries gyoza and the Korean fried chicken. Both were pretty good. I loved the sweet and savory stickiness of the chicken especially. I also ordered 2 bowls - the LA Style and the Bulgogi with purple rice. The bulgogi bowl was pretty tasty. I liked the purple rice especially. I do wish there was a better meat to rice ratio though. The LA style was ok. The short rib meat wasn't great in quality. The meat tasted a bit off which was disappointing. Overall it wasn't bad but I also wasn't thoroughly impressed except for the purple rice. I may give it another go however and I would still recommend for others to try. read more
