Seoulmates - Rice bowl with salmon Salmon Bulgogi Bowl - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

treated myself to lunch and tried Seoulmates for the first time. I ordered the Dosirak, which came with bulgogi, white rice, two fried dumplings, and kimchi. I'd give this place a solid 5 out of 10. Since I ordered delivery, I can't speak on the restaurant's ambiance, but the food arrived well packaged and service was quick. One recommendation I'd make is to double check your condiments before finalizing your order. The portions were decent, but the bulgogi tasted a little too bland for my liking and could have used more seasoning or sauce. Overall, it was a convenient lunch option, but I would probably try a few other menu items before deciding if it's a place I'd order from regularly. read more

Seoulmates - DOSIRAK with bulgogi as option for protein - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Although the food was good, the overall experience was frustrating. Parking is limited to metered street parking, and in this neighborhood finding a spot is hit or miss. I ended up parking a few blocks away. Once inside, the only way to order was through a kiosk -- so much for asking questions. I also realized that you're actually ordering from two different restaurants on the same system. I entered my order for the grilled cheese sandwich, but when I backed out to the main menu to add the wings, the order was canceled and I had to start over. When I tried to order the wings again, the kiosk kept giving me an error and wouldn't process it and at the end of the transactions, I was asked, how much do I want to tip? There are only a handful of seats inside and a bench out front. The tables were filthy. I had the bulgogi grilled cheese sandwich and my partner ordered the Korean BBQ chicken wings. We both agreed the food was good, but it felt pricey for what we got. Driving home, my thought was simple: good food, but not an experience that makes me want to come back. read more

Decent flavor. Service is ok and you order from kiosk. TINY PORTIONS. Thinking bulgogi is beef (it almost always is) but here it was salmon. Not common or clear that would be the case! I tried not to be too disappointed until I saw the measly 3-3.5oz salmon filet in the corner of the bowl. For $27 I would go next door lol. read more

A very small restaurant along 3rd ave in the Beverly Grove area. Only metered-street parking available. The outside of the restaurant is nicely decorated, so it's easy to spot. The music they were playing was too loud to enjoy a meal there, so I got it to-go. You can order online, at the kiosk tablet or talk with a staff member to place your order. Right off the bat, I noticed that they do not list the price of the menu items on the menu. I ordered 2 tacos (Galbi and the Bulgogi) and OMGEE, my eyes were shocked to see the bill of $37.13. Anyway, since it's my 1st time here, I thought, "ok, let's just try it and see if the quality and/or portion justifies the price. 1. Galbi Tacos (3.5/5): Galbi is basically marinated short ribs that's diced up. The flavor of the meat itself was good - tender, flavorful and slightly charred. It is topped heavily with a bed of Cole slaw, onion, cilantro and some creamy, tangy mayo-like sauce. I think the amount of toppings outweigh the meat portions, so it's not well-balanced at all. 2. Bulgogi Tacos (3.5/5) Rating the bulgogi meat itself, I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars, as the thinly sliced rib eye was marinated well in the bulgogi seasoning, which is umami-rich, garlicky and nutty from the sesame oil & sesame seeds. Like the other taco, the ratio of meat to toppings (slaw, onion, cilantro) is off. Of note, the corn tortilla for the tacos were very dry and easily tore apart, so it made eating the tacos super messy and quite a pain since they do not give you any utensils. I ended up ditching the taco shells and just eating the insides. Lastly, the limes they gave me with my tacos were completely dried, rendering them useless to dress my tacos (smirk). Even though each taco order comes with 2 tacos, $18/order for street-taco truck quality tacos and where the amount of Cole slaw outweighs the amount of meat ... this is just a bit too much. Sorry to say, but I will not be coming back. There's too many other restaurants in the area competing for my business. read more

This place is adorable! Cutely decorated. The price of the food is on the higher end compared to other places (moonbowl next door; AYCE kbbq has a lunch special that is priced the same). We got a bulgogi bowl based on the cashier's recommendation on what was popular ($23.5 tax and tip not included). The portion of the bowl is pretty big and there was decent sized amount of meat in it. Inside the bowl was rice, bulgogi meat, kimchi, and an egg. The kimchi tasted fresh and was seasoned well. However, overall the food (bulgogi/rice/eggs) tasted average, nothing out of ordinary or mind blowing that warranted the price in my opinion, even with the bigger portion. Cute vibes, but quality of the food did not match the price. 3.5/5 read more

Cute Korean fusion spot that's good for a casual lunch. I ordered the Bulghoagie since it was unique. I ordered for to-go and it was decent. The sandwich came with a ton of fillings of bulgolgi, slaw, pickled cucumbers, and wonton strips to name a few. The bulgolgi was standard quality. Sweet, chewy, moist, and a quality that you'd expect from a non-traditional Korean restaurant. The veggies were crisp which I liked. It was covered in this kimchi sauce which was good, but it was practically drenched in the sauce which I did not enjoy. The sandwich was also super messy and hard to eat. I wish they cut the sandwich after it was assembled, but the sandwich seemed like it was put together on sliced bread which made it hard to eat. The wonton strips were unique and provided and nice crunchy element. The server was super nice and accommodating. He also packaged my order well. The interior and exterior are also cute and nice. There's even wifi and outlets, so a spot to potentially work at. Overall, a decent experience here. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but would if I'm looking for a quick and casual lunch option in the area. read more

After an exhausting play date with the kids near the Beverly Center, we searched the location for some good food to enjoy. We found this Korean delicacy nestled just on 3rd street off Western blvd. The restaurant is small and if not for the rain we would have enjoyed our food outside in the front miniature patio. We ordered the Korean Chicken Sando, loaded fries (pictured), strawberry churro fries, and one of their delicious rice bowls. The food was spectacular with full Korean flavor. The sauce on the chicken and provided were not as spicy as advertised but still tasted very good. The food was very robust and filling. Prices were on the higher side but definitely worth it. read more

This place was recommended by a friend. It was underwhelming. You order at a kiosk and they bag the food and hand it to you. There is only room for two or three very small parties to eat on site. And the flavors were just okay. Also I hate when I'm placing an order at a screen and a tip is expected. They didn't even speak to me. read more

Been wanting to try this spot for a long while and finally while in town was able to stop in!!! Super cute small space but great energy and great vibes!!! Myself and my dog were promptly welcomed and he was immediately spoiled with some treats....Owner was so sweet welcoming and so personable!!! So many options she was able to help me narrow down my options to the bulgogi and avocado bowl! Unfortunately had to take it to go but pleasantly surprised how yummy and great mix of sweet, salty savory and avocados was a nice touch of a little creamy!!! Pickled kimchi pickles were a nice touch but only negative....Rice over cooked and a bit soggy Highly recommended!!! read more

Bap & Bird is serving up straight soul food with a Korean heartbeat. The chicken? Crispy perfection--glazed in a sauce that's equal parts sweet heat and umami, then showered in sesame seeds that add the crunch every bite deserves. The kind of flavor that makes you slow down mid-bite just to close your eyes and go, damn. But it doesn't stop there--side dishes like their creamy, sesame-crowned elote hit just as hard, balancing comfort with a kick. Every plate feels intentional, rooted in love, culture, and flavor mastery. Whether you're pulling up solo or rolling deep with friends, this is food built for sharing and built for storytelling. Bap & Bird isn't just a meal--it's an experience, a vibe, a memory in the making. Pull up. Bring an appetite. Thank me later. read more

From the outside, the café looks cozy and atmospheric. Inside it feels a bit hipster, though in some places already a little worn out. Service is great -- friendly staff, fast and welcoming. We ordered rice with meat and vegetables (hot option). The portion was big and nicely presented, but the taste was disappointing -- bland and spicier than expected. Both outside and inside could be cleaner: leaves, dust, shaky furniture. A big minus -- the restroom, which looks more like a storage room. Overall, it's a nice spot with good atmosphere and service, but food and cleanliness definitely need improvement. read more

I stopped in with my mom on a Wednesday evening to warm, friendly service from the woman working. She guided us through the menu and accommodated my mom's desire for a chicken bowl that wasn't spicy. I opted for the chili shrimp bowl. We sat outside and our food was brought out to us. Good portions and the food was tasty. I'd definitely come back to try some other items on their menu. read more

Let me first say the Korean Fried chicken tacos were delicious. I would've liked to try more things but I was on a time limit. The place itself is pretty small with just a few seats at the window counter inside and majority seating outside. While I could not see the food prep areas I wouldn't assume they were unclean, however. The general appearance of the place is like it just during, some paint chipping in places, there is something going with the ceiling above the door that the owner should fix. There's a dog bowl on the floor in case your fur baby is thirsty as well. I think they could stand to clean a bit more in my honest opinion. The only inside seating is on the window but the window frame is dirty. They could touch up the pair where it's chopped off. I'm not a fan of the concert floors but not much they can do about that except maybe epoxy. Clean and rough up the lower counter where shoes have hit them. There's just small things that could improve the visual of the space since it's so small. But again, the food is good, service is quick, people are friendly. I'd go back. read more

I live around the corner, so my friend who is gluten free went with me to try this place yesterday. We walked in and were told to use the screen to order, but we had some questions first and Justine was awesome and took our order !! My $19 Bulghoagie was very good, and although my friend got sauces on the side (great tip Justine!), his Spicy Shrimp Bowl was very spicy. I unfortunately won't be back because its pretty pricey then I was given a $2 service charge on my order. Hey boss, why the $2 service fee? I would have rather given it to Justine. You want people to help themselves to order, then you charge $2? Would love an explanation...Update. I see the response and thank you for that so fast. I was told it was not a tip though?? read more

Great cute little cafe with korean street food. I tried their grilled cheese bulgogi sandwich. The meat was well seasoned and kimchi sauce was awesome. On top of that the service and overall cuteness was very good. Highly recommended read more

We got Seolmates catered and it was such a hit! The entire process was easy. They arrive about 2 hours before the event to set up. Christina was super friendly and made sure the set up looked awesome. The food was delicious and everybody loved it. We got 4 things and had plenty of options for folks: 1 Galbi tacos -crowd favorite and mine!!! 2 Bulgogi jackfruit tacos (vegan) 3 Kimbap 4 Bulgogi grilled cheese - crowd favorite- we should've order more of there, they went first! Evan my Korean mom who's a serious hater, loved these So glad we choose them to cater our daughter's birthday. Thanks Seolmates!! read more

Limited seating -- 4 indoor (bar-like seating) and 3-4 small tables outside. Parking -- street. A lot of permitted parking in the area so factor in time to find a spot and walk over. The tacos come 2 to an order and no mixing and matching so my friend and I ordered different ones and traded so we could try a taco each. Korean BBQ Glazed Shroomz Tacos (special) and the Galbi. Of the two, I liked the Galbi best -- the meat was tender, veggies fresh, and the tortilla warm. The mushroom flavor didn't shine through for me. read more

My expectations for this place for average and OMG was I shocked! Its a cute little shack with a Korean fusion menu. We got the bulgogi grilled cheese, bibimbap, and crispy chicken tacos. The grilled cheese was heavenly, one of the best grilled cheese I have ever had! The marinade on the meat, made each bite full of sweet and cheesy beef. The bibimbap was clean and simple, just that beef has so much flavor its unreal. The only downside was the crispy chicken tacos as they were fried too much. Overall, you have to come try this place on 3rd street and when you go get something on the menu with their beef bulgogi it is to die for! read more

On the edge of Beverly Hills, this is a delicious find. A storefront with four chairs inside and some tables outside, they do a bunch of take-out. The young woman at the counter was pleasant and helpful. I chose the bulgogi tacos which were delicious. The beef was seasoned and fresh, melt in your mouth paired with a spicy dip and lime wedges. I have to be careful with hot peppers (allergies), but my wife said it was the kind of dip that you didn't get the heat at first, but even when, not too hot. My wife had the salmon bowl. A perfectly grilled piece of salmon paired with rice, avocado, along with pickled onions and cucumber. There was an accompanying small dish of a sweet liquid. Maybe a coconut milk base, it tamed any heat. A winner. read more

Korean fusion at it's finest! This place has been on bookmarks for a really long time now and I'm glad I finally got to go. There's plenty of options on the menu, I went for tacos (bulgogi and Korean fried chicken), the bulgogi hoagie and the bulgogi fries. Prices are on the higher side but their portions are generous. It might be a messy eat so beware. Everything tasted very rich and is drenched in their special sauce! My favorite item has to be the bulgogi hoagie- it definitely stood out and I have not had anything like it but the fries were a close runner up. I probably would not get the Korean fried chicken tacos again though as it did taste on the drier side. If you are looking for something different or more unique then this is your spot! read more

Found this place from tiktok and it exceeded all expectations. Shout out to Kenneth for excellent quick and friendly service. Seating options are limited, there are a few chairs inside and tables for two on the street, I would recommend pick up if you have more than two people. Now for the food: holy moly. AMAZING fusion food. I got the kimchi taco which was potato mixed with kimchi in a delicious crispy shell that wasn't greasy at all, topped with refreshing coleslaw and lime. The dumplings were fried to perfection with a delicious side sauce, and the star of my eating experience was the kimchi udon. Perfect amount of spice and kimchi flavor with transcendentally chewy noodles topped with a delectable fried egg, scallions, and radishes. After eating far more food than I should have and fully cleaning my plates, I was sold on the matcha churros with white chocolate sauce. I am neither a matcha nor a white chocolate fan, but these were EXCELLENT. Crispy, piping hot, with a doughy middle and thick crust of matcha sugar they were the perfect end. Even though I was far too full leaving this establishment I feel like I could have gone in just to try all the other entrees. I must come back here as everything was absolutely excellent, and street parking was easy at 5pm. Give it a try!! read more

Small shop with all outdoor seating. Not much inside except kitchen. They make to order so expect to hang out a bit after ordering. Quite a few pick up orders while I was there. The food is pretty voluminous and delish. Got the tacos - bulgogi, galbi, Korean fried chicken, shrimp. They were all pretty flavorful. Bulgogi and chicken were a bit dry. Shrimp was spicy! And galbi was my favorite - fatty and juicier of the bunch. Lots of veggies each taco so very filling. Loaded fries are my new obsession. Beer battered fries, super crunchy, tons of bulgogi and toppings. So good. Close by so def coming back for some tacos and fries. read more

This is hands down one of my new favorite Korean fusion restaurants in LA. The flavors in everything I tried were insane. You can tell they put so much love into all their recipes. The service was quick and the people working all seemed very friendly. The restaurant has limited seating inside but has a few good seating options outside which is the perfect ambiance for the location. Everything I ordered: - Bulgogi grilled cheese (10/10): get this. Thank me later. - Kimbap (9.5/10): This is a new menu item and so glad they added this. Delicious! - KFC Sando (9/10): Can't go wrong with Korean fried chicken sandos. Loved that they use Texas toast as the bun. So so good. - Bulgogi Udon (10/10): I believe this is a new menu item. Still dreaming of this dish. - Matcha churros (10/10): need I say more? read more

I saw this place on social media and finally had a chance to go with a friend for lunch. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and it was not busy at all. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Hoagie. It mainly tasted like small bits of fried chicken in a semi-spicy sauce with cabbages and picked cucumbers. It was tasty but didn't have alot of the flavor that I associate with Korean friend chicken - I think there was some sauce on the bread but not nearly enough, chicken was more dry than saucy. It's otherwise a pretty good sandwich but definitely "fusion". Sandwich was $16 before tip and was pretty large in size. I was satisfied after eating half but could've easily had the whole thing if I was really hungry. There were 4 chairs indoor with counter seating, 4 chairs outdoor with counters seating and 4 small tables outside that sat 2 people each. Street parking only which can be tough as it's located right on 3rd street and the neighborhoods all have permit parking only on the weekend. We ended up finding free parking after driving around for about 10 minutes. read more

Staff was nice. Explained the menu. Small clean seating area, good for couples or very small groups. Got two bulgogi tacos for $14 . Meat was savory, a bit over marinated, and dry. A nice amount of meat though. Veggies was simple, wish they put kimchi with the tacos to add a nice kick and takes off the depth of the meat marinate - came with lime. Would I come back? Maybe, different dish though. read more
