    Great customer service! Enjoyed the peach flavored tea. Stop by for lunch. Easy checkout process too

    Kimchi bulgogi rice bowl
    Lauren S.

    I've heard lots of good things about Seoul Bowl and finally got the chance to try them out when they had their food truck at The Taste! My fiancé has been dying to try them for awhile and we're so happy that they did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and they cranked out food quickly which is a hard task at big foodie events. We got a mini bulgogi kimchi rice bowl and it was sooo good. The bulgogi was tender and packed full of flavor and the kimchi was DELICIOUS. I could've had an order of just the kimchi and been fine! We also loved the spicy sauce they drizzle on the bowl as well. Definitely a new favorite food truck option that will be hard to avoid if we ever come across them in Seattle!

    Beef bulgogi bowl and bulgogi kimchi cheese fries
    Andrew M.

    I've ordered from Seoul Bowl several times, and with good reason. Whether it's a quick lunch or a filling meal, they never miss. On my most recent to-go order, I made my own beef bulgogi bowl with a soy egg on top and a side of their bulgogi kimchi cheese fries. The beef bulgogi was perfectly marinated, sweet, savory, and tender with just the right amount of char. The soy egg added that rich, umami punch that elevated every bite. I appreciate how fresh the toppings always taste, and the portions are VERY generous without feeling overwhelming. But the real treat? Those bulgogi kimchi cheese fries. Salty, spicy, cheesy, and savory all at once, basically everything you want in a comfort side dish. The fries stayed surprisingly crisp under all the toppings, and the bulgogi-kimchi combo adds a bold, flavorful twist that keeps me coming back. Seoul Bowl consistently delivers high-quality Korean-inspired bowls with bold flavors, and it's clear they put care into both their ingredients and preparation. This spot has easily earned a permanent place in my rotation.

    spicy pork bowl

    I came here for lunch with some friends. We ordered from a kiosk and sat ourselves. When the food was ready, they called out our names. This restaurant caters to to- go style which is nice when you're looking to take out. We decided to eat there. I got the spicy pork bowl. It was super flavorful with lots of toppings. I really enjoyed the bowl and the portion was huge! I had to take half home. I did ask for water, but unfortunately they did not have any cups of water and you had to buy water bottle. I would come back or do take out again!

    Customized Spicy Pork Bowl
    Xuan Z.

    I ordered a bowl with spicy pork. Staff was very generous in terms of the volume of each of the sides I added. I couldn't finish the bowl just because it was too much food for me. I also wish there were predefined menu items. This was my first time visiting, I just wanted the best from the restaurant, so any signature combinations would be perfect. But the staff said there wasn't any set recipes. The spicy pork was lukewarm; it would have been better if it was warmer. Flavor wise, it met my expectations - spicy, flavorful, addictive. The inside and outside of the restaurant were both cute. Good for a quick bite or for friends hangout.

    This is a great place to stop for a meal.

    This was a nice spot on a very warm spring day. It is quite simple to order but there are a lot of choices. You choose your base first, glass noodles, rice, etc them your toppings and sides. A good hearty portion yet not too much. Since it was hot, we ordered a Sprite and a Korean sake to drink with it. They have indoor seating but sitting outside in the Cafe chairs and table was more fun to eat in the great weather and watch people pass by. I highly recommend for a meal before or after hitting the pubs along the same street. The one man show behind the counter also gets this review a star on his own...he was polite attentive helpful and efficient. All by himself and not stressed out or angry at having to serve customers. I was impressed. I give ratings as 1 star inedible/possibly dangerous to eat 2star edible but not good. 3 star good food, price value and decent service 4 star either food or staff make it memorable so I want to return or bring someone else next time. 5 stars is memorable on all areas: food, price-value, service, experience.

    Ask the Community - Seoul Bowl

    Hello, I was wondering If the kimchi, pickled radish, and kimchi cucumber are vegan friendly? I know it's common to add fish sauce or other seafood additives. Is this added to these side dishes?

    Hi! There’s fish sauce in the kimchi and cucumber kimchi but pickled radish doesn’t have any seafood additives or fish sauce :)

    Any vegan options?

    There is fried tofu option!

    Where can i see the location?

    You can find our schedule on our website. We update it every sunday. Any other changes will be posted on Facebook page or our Instagram.

    What kind of chicken do they serve -thigh, breast?

    Hi, Inshiya. We use chicken thigh for BBQ Chicken Bowl. Thank you.

The menu and experience differ between lunch and dinner, and this is my lunch review. Simply put, lunch is much more casual and affordable than dinner (You order lunch scanning the QR code at the table). If you're on a budget, you can eat lunch here for less than $20. I went here for lunch twice during my business trip last month and here's what I ordered: - Seafood Tofu Soup - $17.50 - A seafood soondoobu (순두부) with a generous helping of soft tofu, shrimp, mussels and clam, served with rice. Delicious, refreshing and not spicy-I bet they could make it spicy if you asked. I enjoyed the texture from the cabbage bits. - Seolleongtang (설렁탕) - $15.50 - Oxtail bone broth served with potato starch noodles and brisket, comes with salt and green onion already added(typically doesn't at other Korean restaurants). High-quality ingredients and flavor, a great comfort food with a generous serving of brisket. - Shaved ice dessert (빙수) - $9.00 - A great combination of cinnamon, ginger cream and fried rice puffs. Delicious and different than other Korean shaved ice desserts I've had that typically have red bean and overly sweet ingredients. If you're on the fence about coming here, maybe try out lunch first. Lunch is more casual, affordable and simpler than dinner, but is delicious and high-quality. You should come here for dinner too, and I'll post about my dinners here soon.

    Dinner from late 2025 Paju in South Lake Union is slick…read more That is the first word that comes to mind thinking back to this meal. There is elevated, and then there is Paju-elevated. I dislike the more common 'elevated' where a restaurant makes changes such as swapping meat cuts from traditional recipes to something wagyu without any added thought or creativity in the process. Not at Paju. They are Koreans elevating Korean dishes. The dishes are refined and well-honed. Their creativity shows they know what they are doing. Plating is thoughtful. The restaurant itself is modernly elegant, great for date nights. Note the restaurant is quiet and elegant; perhaps they have a private room for loud celebrations. Staff was helpful with my questions. Food was available in a timely manner. The Food: Octopus, $27 - 5 Stars Served with smoked trout roe and dashima beurrie blanc sauce, this dish is visually attractive and absolutely delicious! One of our top dishes of the night. Paju Fried Rice, $27 - 4 Stars Cooked with kimchi, bacon, squid ink, and quail egg, this dish is one of their most popular dishes. I find squid ink to have a subtle earthy type of sea-umami flavor. The bacon and kimchi are a touch stronger in this combination. It's a good dish, but amongst our five dishes, this one ranked the lowest. Mushrooms, $23 - 5 Stars Served with parmesan cheese shaved so thin it's translucent, white kimchi, and truffle aioli, this dish is the bomb! Excellent for the mushroom lovers, it might convert mushroom haters, too. Lol. Another top dish of the night. Branzino Gui, $51 - 4 Stars Served with four banchan, this dish stands out for its execution - impeccably grilled and plated. The fish is very tender and perfectly cooked. I do think it is a bit plain for the price. Branzino is fairly common in different parts of the world. Ranked 4th for the night. Duck - 5 Stars Duck breast is served with a slice of duck and pistachio pastry plus four banchan. The duck is super tender. The pastry is clever utilizing other bits of duck meat. The simple sauce is very important, adding flavor to the pastry. Also delicious.

I love pho, but Kalbi Tang is a Astro up in general and here at Daeho is another step up Kalbi Tang primarily because of the meat flavor and thickness. Not a big fan of the glass noodles and still giving the dish 5 stars. The quantity of meat is also solid. This will fill you up no doubt, it better be for near $30.

After ordering, the food comes generally fast. Kalbi Tang!!!

    I wanted to give this place a second chance because I know a lot of people really enjoy it, but…read moreunfortunately my experiences were underwhelming. As i always say go try it for yourself. The first time I visited, the quality of the meat cuts didn't impress me, and the soups lacked depth of flavor. I'm not talking about needing more salt--the broth itself just tasted flat. When you're paying close to $30 for a bowl of soup, I think it's reasonable to expect a higher level of quality and care to ingredients. The second visit was a mixed experience. To be fair, I was in the wrong. There is a clearly posted policy stating that your entire party must be present before being seated. My group was about seven minutes away, and since I had already checked in on Yelp and there were only two parties ahead of me with no one physically waiting, I asked if I could be seated and order while I waited. I had already been standing inside for about 10 minutes. I was told that although tables were available, seating me ahead of the other parties on the waitlist would be unfair. I understood the reasoning, but she had also asked prior for my order. Her explanation left me confused so i sheepishly said I understood the policy. She already seemed upset by the time i had gotten there. Sometimes we have off days i get that. This place is clearly hit or miss, I've got friends who absolutely swear by it. For me, though, it wasn't anything special and didn't justify the price. If you're looking for Korean food in the area, I've had better experiences with higher-quality dishes elsewhere, especially in Lynnwood.

I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes).

I was the one saying "hello" first and saying "how are you?" before the cashier said anything. Kind of awkward/standoffish but not a dealbreaker when the food is good. Most recently I had the kimchi jigae, which was relatively spicy, even when I asked for less spicy (and they said they could accommodate). I'd say it was like 2-3 stars. Flavor was great though and it was a decent portion (for $17) and satisfying. Also, a pretty wide range of menu options, despite it being a small place. There were 4 complimentary banchan dishes (napa kimchi, cucumber kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, and fish cakes). Note that I don't think there are free refills like other places... maybe you can ask but I didn't see anyone doing so. For 1-2 people, it's a relatively generous amount. Also, only certain dishes come with the banchan, so be sure to read the menu carefully if you are wanting the banchan.

I have dined here before so the interiors isn't too different just small changes. Let's jump to the food- I ordered the galbitang and it came with 10 different banchan. Which is a nice surprise since some restaurants aren't as generous in the banchan. The galbitang was so flavorful for a "clear" soup and the meat was tender. It also included a good portion of meat. I've tried galbitang at other places, but there was an umami that many didn't have. All the banchan were flavorful too, I thought the kimchi had a good balance as sometimes it can be a bit on the saltier side. Service was great too, the sever was friendly and checked often. When I went, it was just me then a couple arrived. There was a delay with their order so she provided some mandu on the house while their order was being prepared. Once they received their order, I heard the couple tell the sever that everything was very good multiple times- their food did look good! I recommend checking this place out especially with the new ownership. Menu looks similar from previous owners, but will for sure go back and try something else!
