    Steak gogi bowl
    Timira M.

    Again, what rock have I been living under? Seriously, this place is a nice tucked away hidden gem. We came here on a Saturday evening and the place wasn't too busy or crowded. It took me a minute to figure out what I wanted but the person I was with raved about their gogi bowls. I settled on the gogi bowl with a fried rice and they got a steak gogi bowl with white rice. We placed our orders and they came out within 10 minutes. The food is amazing and the portion sizes are decent. I can't believe I've driven by this place a thousand times and never even stopped to go in. The restaurant was clean and so was the restroom. The staff is also friendly and professional. As always until next time...

    5 Street Tacos

    I love seoul taco. Their street tacos with beef bulgogi are amazing, and I also highly recommend their bulgogi nachos. It's a great place to go with friends and they're pretty quick to get your food out. The seats are always comfortable and clean, and the people are always nice. And don't forget their Taco Tuesday. The $1.50 tacos are amazing on a Tuesday night!

    3 Street Tacos

    I got the trio of street tacos. First, the meat was overcooked, no matter taste. Speaking of taste, all three meats were marinated or cooked with a very sweet sauce. It took a lot of lemon juice, jalapeno sauce and salt to make it okay. The corn tortillas were soft yet durable, thumbs up for that. If sweet meat is your thing... This is right up your alley!

    Gogi Bowl - chicken

    Went in for a late night dinner with the bf, his first time in, my first time back in a couple years. WOW this place sure has changed since covid. Arrived at 8:30 and there were maybe 2 other tables already seated. You order at a tablet up front and pick a table and wait for your order to be called, pretty standard setup to find these days on Delmar. I enjoyed the tea varieties they offer and settled with a mandarin cardamom tea, definitely sweetened. For food we got the trio sampler of tacos favorite was probably the chicken. And also ordered a spicy chicken bowl. Food was out fast, I'd say like 8 mins tops. Everything looked great! Lots of color to the plates and the greens weren't wilted or soggy that tends to happen with some of the bowl places. The egg was perfectly runny too! But sadly something just wasn't right. It's like everything was bland or sweet without having complexity that Korean food is known for. Felt as if these plates were something I would have thrown together at home not knowing the right portions of sauce or seasoning. Idk it's hard to put a finger on but definitely not the food I recall that brought me in initially. Maybe a new menu revamp is due or idk maybe I just need to not expect so much from them... I was fed, service was a tablet so can't say much and I didn't get sick. You decide for yourself :)

    Pros: - the decoration and space are very picturesque and welcoming - the fusion of Mexican/korean is pretty well done! The food was pretty good Cons: - the staff were quite rude and unfriendly, even though the restaurant was not busy (we waited at the counter for over 20 minutes to get service) - the wait time for food was ridiculous as well, especially for the small orders we placed (and again, the restaurant was NOT busy at all!) Overall, I would not recommend going again. Wish the experience was better because the menu looked promising!

    I recently visited it has been Asians things were different. You know order on a kiosk at least that was the case on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the bulgogi bowl with spicy pork. A combination of rice, mixed greens, spicy pork shredded carrots and a fried egg on top. Don't forget the gochujang on the side. I don't get over here very often but it's always worth the visit. That are always playing 90s and early 2000s hip hop. It's a good hang. Check them out if you have, swing back for another visit.

    Bulgogi steak taco, you can't go wrong!
    Ronald K.

    Funky-vibe Korean tacos joint! Kinda funny there are no Koreans in sight, in or out of the kitchen but hey, it's St Louis. Plenty offered here for a quick satisfying bite. The bulgogi steak tacos were stuffed to the brim, yum! And while here, don't pass on the restrooms...they will bring you back in time to the West Village, NYC circa 1979!

    Chicken Quesadilla Chips & Queso
    Annie D.

    A go to place for me in St. Louis when I lived here so I try to visit when I am back in town. Service is usually quick and the food is always good. I get the chicken quesadilla with no sauce and no greens with chips and queso. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

    Spicy pork burrito
    Lucy S.

    Seoul Taco is one of my favorite places to go if I want a quick, easy, and filling meal. I especially like the spicy pork burrito and gogi bowls. I always ask for the sauces on the side in the burrito (Seoul sauce, wasabi mayo, and sour cream) and then add the sauce afterward. If I'm not super hungry the burrito could definitely last for two meals. My friend got the sweet potato waffle fries and we were pleasantly surprised by how good they were! They came with Seoul sauce and were very crispy and fresh. Service was fast, and there is plenty of seating in the restaurant. Our table was a little dirty but it's more of a self-service where you clean your own table and put your trays in the return area. I'll definitely be back!

    My visit the other night was just okay. I ordered the chicken tacos and a side of sweet potato fries that I shared with my friend. My friend ordered a bowl with salad and chicken. While the food came out quick, I can't say that it tasted very fresh and the chicken was really tough. I also had to throw a taco away because I saw a bug crawling in it....no idea if bugs were in the other tacos, but I had already eaten them so oops! The booths were all messed up and some of the seating was torn which made the space look old and outdated. I think the vibe could be better, but I was just not sure what was happening that night. It was dimly lit and the service was just okay. Not sure if the guy working to take our order wanted to be there. Overall, I think this was just "meh" and I am not sure I want to go back.

    Kimchi Slaw
    Chris G.

    What's not to like. Soul taco is amazing. If you like Korean food and tacos, you will be in pure heaven. If you don't... you will be in pure heaven. Try the kimchi slaw! The tacos are top-tier. A must try when visiting the Delmar Loop.

    Elote quesadilla and Kimchi slaw
    Jen M.

    Everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences, and I really admire a person who works hard to share their experiences with others. I loved reading about the history of this small St Louis-based regional chain. I got the elote quesadilla and my husband and daughter got...other quesadillas. We usually try to try different things. I wish we would have but anyway, sometimes we fail. I was not super thrilled with my elote quesadilla. I liked my daughter's beef one better. I was more happy with my kimchi slaw. My daughter found her quesadilla to be harder to eat and messier than expected due to the way the sauces had been squirted on the top. I wouldn't mind trying more things on the menu, the items sound inventive and interesting. Unfortunately it's not at all a pleasant space to be in. It's quite a large area but is mostly empty. The chairs are not comfortable, the bench is worse. Broken and worn down. Tables are sticky and wobbly. They put some effort into decorating, otherwise, but it's just not a nice place to be. They have a constant loop playing LOUD. A thumping bass beat. None of us liked the sound at all, to the point that it would prevent us from returning here when we come back in town. Between the bad seating and the loud annoying sound, it really felt like they were trying to chase us out. Well, it worked. Maybe if they wanted to be sure people wouldn't be lingering at all the tables, they could just add more tables?

    Gogi Bowl with Chicken, Cup of Queso, Kimchi Slaw
    Cleo G.

    This place intrigued me. If a Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant doesn't entice you, I don't know what will. In terms of vibes, it's very casual. You walk up to the counter, order, and sit down to wait. There is a lot of seating though so I wouldn't worry about not finding a seat. One thing I wanted to note was that the server at the counter was so kind and offered to let us taste the kimchi slaw and kimchi fried rice before we ordered them. That right there is good service and a really nice touch. We ordered 2 gogi bowls with chicken, one with regular rice and one with kimchi fried rice. We also got a cup of Queso and a side of kimchi slaw. It took longer than we thought for the food to come out but it wasn't an atrocious amount of time. Just something to keep in mind, because it wasn't that busy when we were there. Gogi Bowl with chicken: Very good. The egg yolk is perfectly runny, the chicken is super flavorful and a really nice texture, it comes with lots of veggies (which we were craving), and has a Korean inspired sauce in it. You also get a side of gochujang with the bowl but in my opinion, there needs to be more flavor coming from the first sauce or other sauces. But it was still SO good, especially because I added the queso on top of mine to really seal in that Mexican aspect of it, and I highly recommend that. If you want extra spice and flavor, I'd definitely opt for the kimchi fried rice as your base instead of the white rice, but the white rice lets the other flavors shine more so it really is a personal choice. Kimchi Slaw: Highly highly recommend!!! Absolutely delicious. Wasn't super kimchi forward, but as someone who loves slaw and vinegar and Asian flavors, it really hit the spot. A great way to add more flavor to your bowl as well. Queso: Your standard queso, nothing too special, but gave great flavor and added nuance to the very Korean centric bowl. We didn't try the burrito or the tacos but that's something I'd look into next time!!

    JooJoo is delicious! I crave this place now…read more I've tried a handful of Korean restaurants and think this is the best Korean food in St. Louis County. I really like that they offer stir-fried octopus (Nakji Bokum) not just stir-fried squid (Ohjinguh Bokum). Their Seafood & Tofu soup (Seafood Sundubu) comes out piping hot and is another favorite. My boyfriend got the "Grilled-at-Table" Brisket (Chaldobaki) option which was fun to use the grill to cook right at our table. Our server was attentive and assisted with the flat-top grill at our table. We shared the large size Japanese lager beer Sapporo. I love that JooJoo includes Banchan, small side dishes, with the meal like kimchi, soybean sprouts, black beans, fish cakes, etc. They're happy to bring you more of something if you take particularly to one side. We could hear a group doing karaoke in a separate room from the dining area but it wasn't disruptive to the dining experience at all. The dining area was very clean and spacious with not all tables having the flat top grill for the barbecue. The only disappointing part was that for food-safety reasons we had to cook the leftover remaining brisket slices if we wanted to take it in a to-go box but we understand! I can't wait to go back! Maybe for karaoke too next time!

I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

I liked the art on the walls and the K-pop playing. On to the menu.... The All You Can Eat (AYCE) selection at WUDON is not AYCE. Unlike all AYCE KBBQ restaurants, WUDON limits selective items that you can order more than once. At AYCE sushi or other BBQs, once you select AYCE, everything can be ordered as much as you want. To top it off, you are required to share a soup, a pancake, and steamed egg. I was disappointed to find that you had to share those items and could not order more. Not exactly "all you can eat". And, like other reviewers, the galbi, or short rib, platter is a one-time order deal. That's..... unheard of for a $28.99 AYCE weekend lunch. St. Louis does not have many Asian cuisine options, especially Korean, so I always try to be understanding if the quality or service isn't the best. My issue is that they should not call a menu selection "all you can eat" if there are contingencies on how many times you can order certain items. I would pay $15 for All you can eat here, not $30+. If you are looking for a first time experience doing AYCE KBBQ in St. Louis, by all means, try WUDON. Since LA, NY, and Chicago are too far to get AYCE KBBQ that is worth it, WUDON is the next (somewhat good) choice.

    TLDR: Good Food, But A Lot of Red Flags…read more I had been wanting to try Shabu Day for a while and finally made it out. The food was honestly really good -- but there is a lot this place needs to fix before I can fully recommend it. The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the smell. And not in a good way. It smelled like a sewer. Not what you want when you are about to sit down and eat. It lingered the entire time we were there and was really hard to get past. The front of the restaurant looks okay at first glance. But once you sit down you start noticing things. The tables are wobbly and clearly rigged up with makeshift fixes. Extension cords are running visibly across the floor which looks bad and feels unsafe. The menus and sauce bottles were sticky -- like they had not been wiped down in a long time. Little things like that add up fast. I caught a glimpse of the back of the house and it looked grimy and dirty. That is a problem at any restaurant, but especially at a place where you are cooking your own food right at the table. The staff were not very welcoming either. They were hard to find when you needed something and did not seem very interested in making sure you were having a good time. Now here is the thing -- the food was actually fresh and delicious. The broth was flavorful and the ingredients were good quality. That part genuinely impressed me. But for the price they are charging? The total package is just not there yet. Good food can only carry a restaurant so far. They need to clean things up -- literally -- before I come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ UPDATE: One more thing worth mentioning that I think is really important. Shabu Day is strictly all you can eat -- and that is the only option they offer. For most people that is fine. But for anyone with a medical condition that limits how much they can eat, this format is a serious problem. You are being charged full all you can eat prices for food you physically cannot consume in that quantity. That is not fair and it is not inclusive. A lot of restaurants in this space offer a la carte or smaller portion options for exactly this reason. Shabu Day should do the same. It is a simple change that would make a big difference for a lot of people and would show that they actually care about all of their customers -- not just the ones who can eat the most. Clean things up, fix the smell, train your staff to be more welcoming, and give people a fair way to order. The foundation is there. Now build on it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    A Great Hole-in-the-Wall Korean Spot…read more I was really in the mood for Korean food, and as Korean culture has become more mainstream, I've noticed that some Korean restaurants have started to feel a bit commercialized. As someone who cooks Korean food myself and spent time living in Korea, sometimes you just want a simple, authentic, no-frills spot that focuses on the food. Thankfully, Asian Kitchen Korean Cuisine, located at 8423 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO, delivered exactly that. I knew I was probably in the right place as soon as I walked in and was greeted by one of the owners, whose direct and no-nonsense personality reminded me of many family-run restaurants I've visited over the years. It gave the place a lot of character. I kept my order simple and went with the beef bulgogi, while my sister ordered the chicken bulgogi. Both came with rice and kimchi. We also shared an order of vegetable potstickers, which were fried perfectly. Everything was delicious. The food had a homemade quality that felt comforting and authentic. The bulgogi was flavorful, the kimchi was satisfying, and the potstickers were easily one of the highlights of the meal. We ordered everything to go, so unfortunately I didn't get any photos, but the food definitely spoke for itself. One thing to keep in mind is that there may be a bit of a wait, but that's because the food is prepared fresh. If you're willing to be patient, it's well worth it. Overall, if you're looking for solid Korean food in the St. Louis area and don't mind a straightforward, family-run atmosphere, Asian Kitchen is a great choice. 4 out of 5 stars.

We got the beef bulgogi three times, because, you know, it's beef bulgogi. Got the thin-sliced brisket (unseasoned), pork bulgogi (spicy) and marinated steak, as well. It was all very good. Great experience, we left stuffed to the gills.
