    Beef bowl was definitely delicious but felt that the beef portion was the weakest considering how big of a bowl the meal is served in. Service was very fast surprisingly. Ambiance was calm, also surprising for downtown Disney yet it was late afternoon/early evening. Overall OK

    We had the pork belly and rice plate and their dumplings.. so good!! But a little pricey for the amount you get for the bowl. Service was quick and easy one line for both restaurants in the same building

    Salad
    Aprille C.

    Seoul Sister is one of 3 eateries inside Parkside Market in Downtown Disney. I was there for a quick trip and stopped here for lunch. I had the salad. Which was very good. It came with a too-spicy-for-me dressing on the side . But I asked for something else and got miso/tahini instead. It was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are bathrooms on both levels as well as a bar upstairs.

    Tofu Bowl

    There's been so many updates to DTD with lots of new food places. My husband and I decided to take a break from the parks and looked for dinner in DTD - we found Seoul Sister. We ordered the Beef & Egg and Tofu bowls. Bowls are bibimbap-inspired. My husbands Beef & Egg bowl was with rice and my Tofu bowl was ordered with japchae noodles. The bowls were pretty tasty, and the portion size was enough to fill us. You order at the counter and find a place to sit. You're given a device to place on the table you're sitting at and they bring you your food when it's ready. Tip: Be aware that there are not very many tables to sit at and it can get crowded during meal times.

    Bulgogi bowl
    YaoEun L.

    I really enjoyed my bulgogi bowl here. The bowl can with rice at the bottom followed be a bed of salad greens then bulgogi and kimchi. It came with a side of sauce which I dipped the salad into. The beef was tender and very flavorful. The kimchi had the right amount of sourness to it to balance everything. I also got the cherry lemonade which was nice. It was tangy and not too sweet. It was perfect on a hot, summer day. The line to order was a bit confusing. There was only one line and even though you go to Seoul Sister you can order off the other restaurant's menu as well. After ordering, you get a buzzer and pick up from the other restaurant. There was seating downstairs and upstairs and bathrooms too. There was constantly a line for the restroom.

    Beef and Egg Bowl with Rice
    Hanna T.

    Beef Bowl with Salad, 2/5: The soy sauce wasn't good... usually this is easy to make but it was just soy sauce? The beef was really dry, almost had beef jerky texture bc it was overcooked. The portions were not THAT big, I wasn't even hungry and this didn't make me full. For $19... absolutely not worth it. Beef and Egg Bowl with Rice, 2/5: Same as above... my sister didn't find it filling either. Not worth the $20. It gets busy once 7:30 pm hits so indoor seating is limited but it's cafeteria style so ppl move in and out quickly, so if you wait, you can find a seat.

    The golden japchae
    Isaac Z.

    I've had good japchae and I wouldn't even call this japchae. The noodles are not even noodles they're just small strands and it was drenched in sauce. Not worth $19 dollars.

    Bulgogi Beef & Egg bowl

    Checked out Seoul Sister for lunch during our shopping trip to DTD. This is located in the newly developed area where the old movie theater was located- it's located across the new Din Tai Fung. Their menu is simple and to the point offering beef, chicken, pork and tofu bowls with choices to choose from on a bed of rice, japchae or salad. We ordered the beef and egg bowl with japchae . Service was friendly and we waited about 10 min for our food. The servings were bigger than we expected. We had left overs. We enjoyed the flavors it offered for a simple dish and the beef was delicious.. There was a lot of seating when we ordered but it filled up pretty quick. They also have rooftop seating. Overall pretty decent spot to eat at if you're craving Korean/Asian food. Glad they added this spot of places to eat at DTD

    Pork belly bowl
    Jessica G.

    This bowl was delicious I couldn't finish it. If the parks are very busy for the lines of food step out and get yourself over to this location the walk is not far. The sauce is delicious. It's located in downtown Disney.

    Haiku: Seoul Sister Bibimbap-style bowls Healthy meal and big portions Very colorful. --- It's refreshing to find a restaurant at the Disneyland Resort that's both healthy and delectable. This Korean-forward menu is inspired by bibimbap (Korean rice bowls). Its colorful dishes are jam packed with marinated meats, veggies, and bold sauces over your choice of rice, japchae noodles, or salad. My go-to orders: - Pork Belly Bowl (w/ japchae noodles): I'm impressed by the crispiness of the pork belly. It was savory and not too fatty. The snow peas and carrots not only added beautiful colors but a crunchy texture. The apricot ginger sauce was unique and slightly sweet. I just loved all the flavors of this bowl! - Chicken Bowl (w/ japchae noodles): This bowl gave me mad Hawaiian-plate vibes. I adore furikake seasoning over anything. The garlic chicken was perfectly seasoned and succulent to the bite. I love japchae, so I always order it in my bowls. These glass noodles are perfectly seasoned and exude toasted sesame oil. This is my new favorite place if I want a healthy alternative to all the Disney fried foods. Tip: Use your Magic Key discount to save some money.

    I am spoiled coming from Hawaii So Disney does amusement parks, movies, tv shows, toys, and Korean food. One of these is not like the other. This was our first meal in downtown Disney since landing and it was raining. We wanted a nice place to sit down and didn't want to pay a really crazy price. Bingo this place looked inviting. There was plenty of opening seating and there was no line. After tasting the food, I know why. Salt would be nice. Heck hot sauce would be nice too. The restaurant is clean and nice interior but food was well one star. Overall one star. Food lacks taste, decent portions, originality. M

    $21 Chicken Bowl (would not recommend)
    Cathrine S.

    Stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. You can order from either counter Chicken Shop or Seoul Sister for both restaurants. The price of a meal for quantity and quality here is lacking. We tried the chicken bowl, $18 and wanted to swap the rice for noodles which was an additional $3 up charge which was not clear on the menu. They do offer a pass discount, but the meal was still not worth the price.

    Great addition to the food options in Downtown Disney! First floor is quick service where you can fall in line at the restaurant you want and they bring it to your table. Second floor is dining service where the waiter can serve from all 3 restaurants.

They offer valet parking at the entrance, along with additional parking around the corner. Since this place gets very busy, I'd recommend arriving early to avoid a long wait.

Despite the packed dining room, the service was quick and attentive. Our food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept everything running smoothly throughout our meal.

Combined with the lively atmosphere and efficient service, it's easy to see why this restaurant has become such a popular destination. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

I love that you order off their kiosk which is conveniently located at the table already. The staff was quick to bring out the banchan. To start, we shared their leek pancake and pork blood sausage. For my lunch I went with their cold noodles since it was a cold day. The people I came with had some pork spare ribs, which came with rice and bone knee soup. And a bibimbap. The leek pancake was the best thing there. The pork blood sausage was more of rice noodles rolled up with pork blood flavored. I can't imagine it being much portion. Eveything else was bland which we all agreed to. For my cold noodles I added plenty of vinegar and mustard but it was not it. Still lacked flavor. Also it only had half a boiled egg and two verythin slices of beef. The pork was over cooked, dry, and lacked flavor. The bibimbap was also bland even with their red sauce. We we were all disappointed. The pricing is affordable. The staff was nice and quick. They made sure to check up on us. Parking here is a tough even though it was a weekday. Their lot was full and you can park next door but by the dental office but that was also full. We waited a little and eventually found parking. The restaurant is very casual, clean and spacious. This was just really meh to me.

The stir-fried squid with noodles was delicious and came in a generous portion. The LA Galbi also tasted good, but the portion was disappointing. It looked like we got mostly small leftover pieces with very little meat compared to other Korean restaurants, especially for $33.99. The stir-fried kimchi with tofu was another letdown--the amount of tofu was very small for $36.99. The food overall was tasty, but the service was one of the strangest experiences I've had. Our banchan (side dishes) didn't come until after the appetizer, and only because we asked. We also had to ask for water. Our appetizer arrived without any sauce, and later they brought soy sauce with wasabi, which wasn't even for our seafood pancake or fried dumplings. After all of our food was served, no one came back to check on us--not even once. I'm honestly not exaggerating. The staff kept disappearing, and at one point we saw them all eating lunch together in the dining area, which made us uncomfortable interrupting them. When we were ready to leave, we needed to-go boxes and the check, but no one was around. We finally had to ask a lady who had just clocked in. Our bill was over $300, and honestly, we didn't feel the service deserved a tip. This place is a hit or miss. The food is good, and that's the only reason I'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience for our entire group. As much as we enjoyed the food, we wouldn't recommend this place based on the service alone.
