The cold noodle was very flavorful! They also are very generous with their side dishes too. We enjoyed our meal there!

Came here on a Monday for dinner and was easy to walk in. Restaurant was only about 50% full and could easily rearrange tables to accommodate a large group (10 - 12). Ample street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. The menu is focused on soups (jjgae or sundubu) and Jjim. Ordered a mild spicy (you choose from 1 - 5 spice level) seafood sundubu and thought it was alright / nothing super special. The unlimited banchan sides are great though, they have the sweetened potatoes, bean sprouts, pickled cucumber, kimchi, and fish squares. Ultimately the food is OK - I'd say closer to a 3.5. Service is fast and nice. read more

Service was phenomenal The seafood pancake was $26 and had no seafood at all so it was a bit pricey imo The beef rib was good and flavors were there read more

Tried Seoul Tofu & Jjim and I ordered the seafood tofu soup. I was a little disappointed because there was barely any seafood in it. I got maybe two pieces of clam and one piece of shrimp. For a seafood option, I expected a lot more. The broth was also pretty mild and didn't have much flavor, which was surprising. On the positive side, the service was nice and she was very attentive throughout the meal, which I appreciated. Overall, service was great but the food just didn't hit for me this time. read more

Came here craving Korean comfort food and left really happy. The banchan (sides) were a highlight! The japchae was decent and well-balanced, and the bibimbap was solid and satisfying. The corn cheese was cozy, just wish it had a bit more salt to really make the flavors pop. Portion sizes were generous for the price, which made it feel like a great value overall. read more

There are a lot of Korean food options in Capitol Hill and the competition seems to be heating up! Seoul Tofu & Jjim is a worthy contender and offers a great authentic Korean food experience. I love that it is on Broadway as well! The interior is comfortable and spacious with nice lighting and good music. Bibimbap with Beef (5/5) I love bibimbap and tried so many around Seattle. The bibimbap here is served at a VERY generous portion with a nice deep fried egg on top which I really liked. The assortment of veggies and flavorful beef + the sauce makes this a very flavorful balanced dish that tastes wonderful! The rice tastes so good and cooked really well and after you mix it all, it's almost like a creamy texture. Beef Short Rib Soup (4/5) For $29 for this bowl of soup, I had high expectations and I was slightly disappointed. The soup tastes flavorful and comforting to drink and the glass noodles are a generous portion. The beef however is a bit of a let down. The quality of the beef to me doesn't match the price point and at times the beef is soft and other pieces are hard and chewy. I expected tender beef that almost melts in your mouth or so soft it falls off the bone but that didn't happen. So if you can get over that, it's a pretty decent dish. Side Dishes (5/5) Lots of side dishes that are very tasty and fresh. My favorite is the fish cake but the star of the show is the kimchi. It is SPICY and I love it! It's not acidic or sour at all and tastes so good with my rice and soup. Service is amazing, food comes out fast and they are very attentive. read more

This might be the first Korean restaurant I've ever been to and I was very impressed with the food and the service. The waiters were super sweet and attentive and the food was delicious. I especially loved the cucumber kimchi and potato side dishes and was very appreciative of the free refills. If all Korean restaurants are all this good I need to try more asap! read more

We came as a group of 5+toddler. The food was great, and the staff were really nice. In Korea, you can usually order the dalkgalbi with cheese and rice at the end. Here they don't offer it, but were kind enough to put cheese when I asked (extra $3). All the food was very good. We got stone pot bibimbap, kimchee soondubu, and japchae as well. All in all, we felt the price was very reasonable, the staff was very helpful and kind (even with our toddler running around) and we enjoyed the food. Would love to come back to try more items next time! read more

Seoul Tofu & Jjim was good but it wasn't great! Parking nearby is tricky since it's on a busy street. The meal was good. I'm not Complaining. The vibe inside is casual and low key. We had the tofu stew and spicy pork both were good, especially with the option of brown rice. The server was friendly. I think..the owner even stopped by to refill our side dishes. friendly meal! read more

Enjoyed a delicious peaceful and affordable lunch inside at 1p on a Friday. Portions:servings are large, def a good fit for family style eating/sharing. Chef/proprietor came out and gave some tips and light prep on how to tackle a few dishes, excellent experience. Pancake, cold noodles and two types of house kimchee were highlights, couple rounds of banchan, just a great time. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch here with my sisssy. She was working nearby and I needed to grab something from her. This place is very large and not what I expected when walking in. Staff was so friendly. Sam ordered bibimbap and I got the combo tofu soup. Everything came out rather quickly. My tofu soup had so much tofu lmao. It kind of disintegrated into the soup which I didn't mind but I found the soup kind of bland. The seafood that came with the soup was yummy. I reallly enjoyed the banchans. Kimchi was so flavorful and I basically ate most of the beansprout one because I thought it was so good. I never knew this was here but now I'll remember to come back to try other things. I was on Yelp looking at the other dishes that would need another person to enjoy it with so I'll drag my sister here when she's back from Hawaii hahaha. Sam said she grabs lunch here very so often so I know it's a good spot for a solid meal. read more

I visited Seattle in July and was craving some Korean cold noodles, so I found this place and came by with a bunch of coworkers. The restaurant is pretty unassuming so you might miss it. It's pretty close to the station, so that was convenient. The servers were great and attentive, and made suggestions for my coworkers who weren't familiar with Korean food. The banchans were typical ones and they will refill them for you if you are out. The cold noodles were a bit bland, but you can definitely taste the beef broth. Add a bit of vinegar and mustard and it tasted perfect. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their food, which ranged from the japchae to the tofu soup. I personally would avoid the soup during summer since its so hot and would go for the cold noodles, but the hot soup would be so good in winter. Prices are reasonable for how much food you get. read more

The service here is bad-- when I came there was a female and a male server, the male server was friendly and quick but the female server never fulfilled our requests/was super slow). I came at around 2pm on a Saturday and there were a bunch (like 5-7) of open but uncleared tables. I was told by the female server that it would be a 15-20 min wait to clear a table(?) even though it ended up being 2 minutes. I ordered the tofu soup, level 2 spicy and my friend ordered the tofu soup level 1 spicy. When they came out, there was a very stark difference in the color of the soups and the female server said it was a level 3 spicy, and did not fix it. We also asked for refills on our side dishes and some plates for our sharing dishes, but she never refilled them or brought out the plates. After around 10 minutes of waiting, we asked the male server for help and he brought out the side dishes and plates right away! The food was okay -- i just wished there was more meat in the tofu soup. The galbi was a bit chewy though. There is a lot of seating in this restaurant and it is very spacious. Overall, I don't think I would come back because of the service. I think there are other korean places with better food and service in seattle. read more

Hell yeah that's some good comfort food! I got the veggie Soondubu (vegan friendly) and it was so pleasantly filling with the included sides that I think I managed to eat a quarter of it. The mushrooms were delicious and there was soooo much tofu! Spice level is totally adjustable if you're sensitive -- I like to start low and then throw in more kimchi to adjust to my taste :) read more

We went on memorial day and it was open! No wait and it was pretty quiet just for us to chat. The service was good and helpful! They always checked up on us, refilled our sides, and helped my friend with her cold noodles. The sides were typical sides (fish cake, cucumber, kimchi, bean sprout, potato). Everything was very comforting and filling. I got the kimchi soup with beef and there wasn't too much beef for what it costs (i paid $24 with tip). It was still good though and the spice level 2 was not that spicy so if you're into spicy food get a higher level. My friend can't deal with spice and got a 1 and it was good for her. If you're in the area and craving tofu soup or korean food come here! They're super nice and friendly! read more

I mean.. at this point I've given up that Seattle has reasonable priced Korean food. Nothing wrong with this place, pretty standard soft tofu soondubu and bibimbop. But dang everything is extra, meat? Extra. For it to be served in a hot stone? Extra. Egg? Extra. There weren't much meat in the soup already and it goes for a whopping $20. Maybe it's the location but I was pretty disappointed in the overall volume and value I was getting. read more

I love Korean tofu soup, I feel there's finally a good one in seattle. I love coming here. The tofu soup is good but there aren't very many flavors to choose from. They also have nangmeon (cold noodles) and a good selection of galbi and braised pork/beef and good appetizers. I love the traditional Korean flavors and casual vibe. read more

Seoul Tofu and Jjim is a desperately needed Korean food option in cap hill. Serving traditional korean food, their soondubu and beef short rib soup were must-haves. The short rib soup broth was light but flavorful and the short rib disappeared off the bone. It was so good it made me consider tracking down the farmer responsible and giving him a firm handshake and a pat on the back. The soondubu was also well-seasoned and has varying levels of spiciness if you're feeling adventurous. The bonchon served as an appropriate accompaniment to help add variety to the meal, but don't be fooled by their miniature demeanor: their flavor and texture command a large presence. read more

- First time here and I really enjoyed the bibimbap with 5 different banchan (potato, pickled cucumber, kimchi, fish cake, pickled sprouts). - Staff/chef (owner?) was attentive and very friendly - we ordered 3 dishes between 2 of us and had to take a good portion of it home (my partner ordered the appetizer spicy chicken as her main plus the tofu salad; and I ordered the bibimbap which I finished entirely like the hungry I am ‍) - Place has plenty of tables, is quiet and a bit dimly lit. I felt like it would be a good casual place for both solo diners or groups of 2-4. - I liked how every main course came with banchan and your choice of either brown rice or white rice. As someone who orders brown rice, I appreciated not having to pay an extra upcharge for it here. I'll be back to try more things. read more

Went here cause I was craving Korean food. They advertise mostly soup so I was lucky that I was able to find hot stone bibimbap. However I was sad they didn't offer kimchi pancake or mandoo! but it didn't affect the experience! Service was great, ambiance was good, and food was delicious!! However it was a bit steep for me so although i will be going back, i wont be back as often as I would like. read more

This place was very good! We got the cheese corn, japchae, 2 tofu soups, and a bulgogi. The bulgogi was cooked really well and the portions were large. The tofu soup with seafood was more flavorful than that beef tofu soup so I would recommend that over the beef. I liked that they had free refills of the side dishes. The owner did yakult shots with us at the end of our meal. 10/10 would come again. read more

This place was highly rated so I was excited because Korean food is probably 60% of my diet. Unfortunately the food was lackluster so I probably won't be back. Service was good for the most part, although the guy who took our order seemed annoyed just being there. A dinner for 2 people that was $86 after tip and tax should've been pretty good, but I was not impressed. Hot stone pot bibimbap (extra cost for protein and stone pot) had the sweetest sauce I've ever had, which made it undesirable. Kalbi was fine, typical of any other Korean restaurant. Soondubu was also typical of any other restaurant, nothing really special about it. read more

This is the only place I trust with my tailoring. I brought in a vintage suit that was completely ill-fitting, and the tailor completely transformed it. He pinned it in minutes, clearly knowing exactly what he was doing. When I picked it up, it fit like it was custom-made for me. It's amazing how a perfectly tailored suit can boost your confidence. Absolutely top-tier skill and service. read more

This meal was so yummy, but yall .. if you ain't ready for their spice, then level down! Even the kimchi & cucumber had my nose dripping !! I got the cold noodles, I would say the spice is a bit more than mild just because it has some flakes! The service was good & ambiance was familial! read more

This is such an underrated spot in Capitol Hill. Their combo deal is such a good deal for 2, it's delicious, and I love that they give you an ice cream bar at the end of your meal (or at least they used to? idk if things have changed).

Wowzer...when I saw this place on Yelp with a 5 star rating, I knew I had to come visit, especially when it comes to Korean food. Verdict: 5/5 If you're craving for some nice hot Korean tofu soup or some delicious galbi jjim, this place does a great job! Tofu soup had a perfect balance of spiciness and flavor. My favorite was definitely the galbi jjim, which is a short rib braised dish. For this dish, I recommend getting the large size to share! Portions are pretty generous. The beef is so tender that it just slides right off the bones. All the side dishes / ban chan = yummy and big portions as well Service was quick and friendly. Definitely appreciate the staff's attentiveness as we were never out of water or hot tea. Interior of the place is pretty modern and cozy. I already know that I plan to be back again soon to try the other dishes and noms more on the galbi jjim again :) read more

A friend of mine raved about this place so we returned the next day. She was right! The restaurant is large with plenty of seating, but not cavernous. It is immaculate. The waitstaff is extremely polite, topping off drinks and being in the sides without being intrusive. The food. Yummers! I ordered the traditional bibimbap with brown rice, hold the egg. It comes with a spicy sauce (rather like ketchup) which elevated the dish. The side dishes are a variety of pickles. A very filling, healthy meal. You leave feeling well nourished and not weighed down. Pricing is more than fair. read more

I've been to Seoul Tofu & Jjim a couple times and it always hits the spot when I'm craving Korean food! I've tried the soups, braised meat dishes, ribs and some of their chicken dishes. I highly recommend the braised meat and spicy pork ribs because the meat is so tender and flavorful. Their banchan dishes are also delicious and tasty. Love that they also offer yakult or ice cream after the meal. Staff is attentive and generally friendly. Parking isn't the greatest but kind of expected in Capitol Hill area. read more

Awesome Korean food spot! Flavorful food and quick service. I got the bulgogi dish and raspberry wine. I was really impressed with the flavor of the meat! As a sesame enthusiast, I loved how the seasonings and sauces complemented the beef flavor without overpowering it. The meat was also good quality, and each bite had a nice texture and wasn't too fatty. The (unlimited!!) sides were went crazy too! They're light and clean but still maintain a complex flavor profile if you sit and appreciate it. For example, the bean sprouts also had a hint of sesame, the tofu almost had a seafood quality to it, and of course, the kimchi and cucumbers hit you with the gochujang kick if that's your thing. The wait staff checked in frequently to make sure we were never running low, and were really responsive and attentive to us. This is my first Korean food spot in Seattle (aside from the Westernized fast casual type), so I don't have a great baseline of comparison, although there aren't too many Korean cuisine spots in the area. It might be bit on the pricey side if you compare to other Asian restaurants, but par for the course in terms of Korean cuisine, and you get good value (I was able to split my plate over two meals). read more

Seoul Tofu & Jjim is a cozy and nice place to get some great food! Their most commonly ordered menu item is the soondubu, which you have a variety of options to choose from. I sadly didn't get their soondubu but my friends did and they liked it. I got their bibimbap, but I found it upsetting how you had to pay more to add beef and to put it in a stone pot. I added the beef, but I was a disappointed that my bibimbap was not sizzling when I got it. Another thing to add about the bibimbap is that instead of having spinach which the ones I've had before have had, they had lettuce instead. I think it was missing a lot of components. If I go here next time, I'll probably get soondubu. I just wasn't in the mood for it when I went since I cooked and ate kimchi jigae beforehand. Other than the food, service was really good! The servers were really attentive when we were out of banchan and kept refilling it. There were endless refills! I'll probably go here again and see what their soondubu is like so I can get a better impression of their food. read more
