    Gal o & Bulgogi combo
    Philip Y.

    The pancake was kind of wet and not crispy enough. The Korean BBQ was decent. The side dishes selection was great. Love their homemade chips fish cakes!

    Review of the take out lunches rather than the dine in Korean BBQ experience. I'll have to try the BBQ, seeing as each table has its own barbecue grill. There are three flat screen TVs mounted to one of the walls in the restaurant. Soju is also offered. Drinks can round out your meal. Back to the lunches - protein and rice. I've tried the bulgogi lunch and the tofu over rice. Both have a lot of vegetables stir fried with the main protein. I think there's a bit of sesame oil in these dishes that lends a slightly slick feel and a faintly toasted, slightly bitter taste. To me, that taste is almost synonymous with Korean cuisine. The punch of acid and heat is provided by the side dishes (banchan), free of charge. They complete the meal. The salt, fat, acid, heat (thanks, Samin Nosrat) of the main/side dishes make for intriguing combinations of flavors.

    Delicious food and modern atmosphere, I don't want to knock a star, but the service while friendly is a bit slow. It's not the fault of the servers, the company needs to hire more people, the place is currently packed and it's only two dudes zipping around. Maybe it's just coincidence, but every day is someone's first impression of a place. I had delicious fried squid and a cream cheese tteok-bokki. The two dishes pair wonderfully and I'll happily go back for them both. I love their purple rice, and mini-side dishes of broccoli, kimchi and masago. This place is a great Korean restaurant. Just hire more people.

    I didn't think I would ever get to say this, but we now have an authentic Korean BBQ joint in the Capital Region! In case it wasn't clear, I'm referring to Seoul Korean BBQ, and I'm honestly still recovering from my recent birthday dinner here. First off, I could never get myself to try Namu, another Korean BBQ joint that previously occupied this space. After poring over available reviews and photos since opening, I decided to take the leap and it paid off. Service was on point - attentive and friendly without intruding. Venue was outstanding - spacious with a sleek industrial decor, and whatever extraction system they have worked so well that for once, I left a KBBQ without smelling like charcoal smoke in a human form. And the food left my jaw hanging long after we left the place - the pork combo came with pork steak, pork belly, spicy pork, and pork galbi, which were all memorable thanks in no small part to the good quality meat. I sense the side dishes were chosen intentionally, and the highlights were the white kimchi (!?!) and potato salad. The steamed egg almost flowing over the hot pot was one of the best we've had, and the tofu soup (spiciness adjusted to "medium") with seafood was as good as, if not better, than specialty restaurants. Parking is no issue thanks to the plaza location. I'm filled with happy thoughts as I'm reliving the glorious meal. My recommendation? Don't think, just go. I can't wait to go back, and I hope they stay open and busy for a very long time.

    Came across this place and I'm a new fan. The lunch portion is generous, comes with a salad and 3 sides. Very filling and so much flavor. Service is amazing and a beautiful space. Come give them a try. Cheers.

    I really enjoyed the food. I think it's one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to. I enjoyed everything and will come back. I love their Gimbap it was tightly wrapped and held its shape. The Jaeyook Dupbab the L7 for lunch was delicious. I always got to have the corn cheese at Korean restaurants. I can't wait to try more. I didn't picture the Korean bbq part of the menu. That I got to try later for future visits with family.

    Seoul Korean Restaurant - Tonkatsu lunch

    Unexpectedly came towards the end of their weekday lunch deal so got the soondubu tofu soup and the…read moreseoul long tang which I usually get anyways and was an affordable price ~$15 each? (not too sure) The tofu soup I got was mild-lightly spicy and gosh it was the spiciest soup I've ever gotten and I usually eat this and other spicy foods perfectly fine! Wasn't the best for me. Alternatively the beef soup felt a bit bland but my friend liked it. Main complaint is not much beef in the soup and it tasted very tough. alternatively not much seafood either, just tiny small bits of cheap shrimps which were a bummer. Only good thing was the decent price and decent free side dishes (not many) of which only broccoli tasted good. Food took forever to come so side dishes were a life saver although they also were never refilled which at traditional places they are. Main thing: the service was quite bad... from the moment we walked in, we didn't feel welcome as no one welcomed us, dirty tables were everywhere (like in those video games you play to clean up), and we waited awhile at the counter looking at menus until someone greeted us with an attitude yelling that counter is only for to-go and we should've just sat down if we're dining in... she huffed and sat us down, surrounded by the dirty tables. We asked if we could sit elsewhere but as big as the restaurant was, she still said half of it was closed for dinner (I know other places do the same but they were kind enough to let us sit in that area when requested) and the reason why this time, was because we were literally sitting surrounded by dirty dishes all around us - which they never cleaned up the entire hour we dined here! Very unpleasant view-never have I ever! Even our current table was sticky. And the food and service took forever. She seemed very annoyed when we ordered and whenever we asked for water or refill side dishes and gave attitude like we obviously need to wait for her to appear and be free to even ask which she was rarely seen. I never saw her treat other customers like the same way she treated us, for them, she was very patient and kind and offered menu options and even personal talk. Seems like she doesn't like tourists, just regulars. Anyways she was rarely seen throughout the meal and so I just sucked up the not so good food and we finished and took awhile to get the check. That was the only point in the interaction she seemed to be present in the restaurant. Other times she was nowhere to be seen. When paying, she loudly exclaimed what do you want to tip? In an attitude saying that, we had to tip, and it had to be a sufficient amount otherwise she'd be upset - which she was because service was not good. Even when we left and said bye, she gave us no word back and just another one of those scowled looks. Only one lady working the front and she was barely present and not pleasant. Overall food really isn't bad but it isn't amazing either. If this cuisine is what you're craving go for it, it's fairly priced. I would support a small business. But don't expect a clean restaurant or friendly service - unless youre a regular or fits the server preferred demographic. Not the best experience for me. Whole heartedly believe if service was better this could be a solid place!

    I may be part of the Asian club but I'm not a part of this particular inner circle. Being Filipino…read more(or being human, for that matter), I tend to compare and contrast cuisines based on my own experience. With several Asian cuisines, rice seems to be the preferred carb. Korean black rice differs primarily in appearance - purple hue due to the mix of black and white rice. Gimbap (Kimbap) - is often described as Korean sushi. In doing some research, there's a distinct difference between the two. The seasonings used to flavor the steamed rice are salt and sesame oil. They are usually stuffed with cooked protein (beef, pork, tofu, fishcake) and pickled vegetables. They seem to be a larger diameter than maki sushi as well. Good? You betcha. Tonkatsu lunch is a favorite....think German pork schnitzel over black rice. The sauce seems to be Tteokbokki (glutinous rice cake) derived - sweet and slightly spiced. There are usually banchan (side dishes) accompanying the meal: kimchi, cucumber pickle, daikon, and eomuk (fish cake). They provide added contrast to the meal. The service has always been efficient and cordial every time I've picked up my order here.

There's a small section right up front of seasonal fruit/vegetables & some items on sale. This Korean grocery store is on a busy strip of Rt. 9, not too far from Latham Traffic Circle, across from a car dealership, and shares a small lot with Tamarind Thai, a Chinese Take-out Restaurant, and a vape store. There's more parking in the back. It's a lot larger and homier than it looks on the outside. The Spring & Summer months are especially nice, they have little seedlings of starter plants on the pavement out front & a community cork board up front. There's a lot of selection of frozen mandoo (dumplings), Melona ice cream bars, fresh Kimchee, soft tofu, a small but fresh section of vegetables (chives, oyster mushrooms, napa cabbage, burdock root), LOTS of family packs of Instant Korean Ramen (Ramyun), a Back room of Korean Home Goods (decent prices, nice glass tupperware, the have THE green "Italian bath towel" scrubby mitts for $2.99! THE best exfoliation that Instagram tries to sell similar mitts for *much* more). There's aisles of snacks & candy, cooking sauces, flour & yam noodles, Korean gim/seaweed, Chili powder, Frozen seafood & rice cakes, bags of rice, dried kelp & anchovies for stock, barley & Cintron tea, banana yogurt drinks. There's other Asian products too (Thai curry paste, some Chinese & Filipino sauces). The prices are a little higher than other Asian Markets in the Capital Region, so I usually just go for specific items: Yam Noodles for a Japchae recipe, Chapaghetti black bean Instant Ramen, a seasoned Seaweed crumble topping for rice, A small pack of Chinese-Korean black bean sauce for JaJang noodles (perfect size for a solo chef, haven't seen this size portion anywhere else). Oh and Yes! You can buy a Neoguri Ramen & Chapaghetti Ramen and make some noodles like the film Parasite. ...didn't see if they had frozen beef. Not sure if it's due to the pandemic, but sometimes they're out of stock on things, so it's better to call ahead. I realized that Wal-M--t carries Shin Black Ramen now because they were always out. Overall, a really nice find and I love wandering around & looking at all the products. The staff is so kind, their friends seem to stop by often & chat in the back kitchen/fridge area. Check them out!

Jang Tuh seems to have pretty much all the things that may not be essential but make life even more enjoyable. I regularly get the corn chips, Choco Pies (not recently since the end of the $2.99 special), kimchi, and frozen goodies, although I've gotten them elsewhere from time to time, like Kim's Asian Market. The prices seem reasonably competitive and stock level seems stable, so they're set to stay on regular rotation for me.
