I love a good choose-your-own-adventure dining experience, and this spot nails it. All the ingredients are well-seasoned and super fresh. What I really appreciate is that there's no hidden cost when customizing your bowl--everything's upfront. Nothing worse than getting to the register and being nickel-and-dimed after placing your order. Great value, great flavor. I'll definitely be back! P.S. -- They also have really good cookies! And trust me, I'm a big cookie snob, so that's saying something. read more

SeoulSpice - Menu - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

This is one of the first places I frequented after moving to the area several years ago. This is Korean comfort food to me and everything I would expect a bowl to be. There is no other way to describe it. My go-to has never changed. The signature Kimchi crunch bowl that consists of purple rice, roasted chicken, sesame seeds, scallions , kimchi, bean sprouts, crispy garlic, a variety of vegetables and the ginger carrot sauce to top it off. The food is always delicious and tastes fresh. The prices are fair and the service is always good. I no longer live close to this location, but don't mind making the trip when I feel for some SeoulSpice. Maybe I'll try something else on my next visit. read more

SeoulSpice - Roasted chicken, kimchi bowl. - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

This is like a chipotle for Korean food. I really liked it!! Would come back. I came here after tennis at JTCC with a couple of people and we enjoyed our time here. Food: four bases to choose from (japchae, white rice, purple rice, salad), and several proteins to pick from. You can have as much veggies and toppings, and up to 2 sauces. The bowl is really filling and satisfying :) Service: it's like Chipotle - not going to be big on the service but the person who helps put the bowl together is friendly. Ambiance: It's a cute casual place. Parking: street parking, paid. read more

Good food. Good service. It's like chipotle but korean food. My favorite is the soy marinated egg.

I've now had Seoulspice twice and both times I got the rice bowl (white rice, chicken w/ cucumbers, corn, carrots, kimchi, creamy sriracha, cilantro lime ranch. It's was so delicious. I've only ordered so I can't speak for the place or ambiance but I can speak for the service it's very quick. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture omg. read more

Love this place! Everything is fresh and they never disappoint! Parking is scarce. I always get my bowl customized to my craving, Lol. Nevertheless, I'm always satisfied. read more

Came here on a very cold day. Thankfully there was parking not too far away, but you do have to pay. Originally, my partner and I were trying to get something else in the area, but the hour plus line was not worth the wait (on Pi Day... can you guess where in College Park?) We bumped into SEOULSPICE, and we were super glad that we did! It was definitely the vibe we were looking for that evening: warm, filling, and tasty food with a *quieter* surrounding (the other place was loud and jam packed with people. No thank you!) The service was good: I don't remember her name, but our server was patient and explained things on the menu that I was unfamiliar with. She also was a hard worker, seeing that she looked to be the only staff member there. There are gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options, and I'm grateful for the gluten free options. My partner got a spicy chicken BYO with japchae, and I got a bulgogi BYO with purple rice. The spicy chicken with japchae was a nice combo. Though the purple rice was interesting, I would rather my short-grain white rice with bulgogi, but I'm glad I tried it! The purple rice has a grainy, nutty taste to it, and with a sweet and salty flavor next to it, the flavors complement and compete if that makes sense. The proteins were super flavorful. My one lesson for next time would be to not add all the veggies out of convenience and actually pick and choose the veggies that I actually liked (let's just say I'm not a fan of kale in my Korean food, but I did that to myself lol) Overall, if you have a craving of tasty, umami bites and don't want to spend to much time, energy, or money on a meal, this is a good spot to go to! read more

I went here with a friend who only eats gluten-free. I think it's ideal as it is naturally gluten-free, nothing needs to be substituted. She thought it was excellent.  It is excellent fast-casual food. As other reviewers mentioned, it's a similar model/setup as Chipotle. The service is fast and the employees are happy to answer questions.  I loved the spicy pork and the ginger carrot sauce. The Kimchi is also good. I loved the bowl I got. Also, the egg was a very worthwhile addition and added a lot to the bowl. Also, the lime yuzu drink was delicious and very refreshing. I love that they put a lime piece in the drink. Lastly, they gave gluten-free cookies at the counter. We got the chocolate chip one and it was solid.  The portions are great and this bowl is enough for at least a meal and a half.  I will definitely be going back here. read more

SeoulSpice - Spicy Pork RICE BOWL - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I live about 50 mins from this place but was visiting the College Park area. Was looking for something different and ordered a bowl online. Very tasty and with good portions. I made my own - purple rice, bulgogi, kale, carrots, corn, scallions, spicy Korean sauce, and sesamiso. Wish they had more locations in MD. read more

I can't find a picture, but this is one of my favorite restaurants!! I always get Bulgogi and pay extra for the egg. The vibe in the store is usually pretty chill but I always take it to go :) read more

The food was delicious and hot when delivered. I introduced my cousin to the restaurant when we were trying to find something different to eat. Please try it! You will not be disappointed. read more

Oooh, you must get the "EGG." No matter what you order, add the EGG to it! It is a sweet soy marinated braised egg. This means the egg is not completely hard boiled or runny but has a soft creamy yolk. It goes great with a rice bowl or a salad. Just yummy. I ordered the bulgogi seoul train with the salad as a base. The only other item that I added to my order was the EGG. It was a good portion of bulgogi and I enjoyed all the ingredients. Great food! read more

SeoulSpice - Seoul Train with bulgogi and the EGG! - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

This could be described as a korean chipotle. I had the custom rice bowl and it had amazing flavors! There wasn't as much chicken as I was hoping for, but I would still definitely get this again. The mobile ordering was convenient and the food was warm and ready at pick up! read more

SeoulSpice - Rice Bowl - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

BAYBEE! Let. Me. Tell. You. This was really, really good. This place kept popping up on my Yelp feed, so I finally went to try it. I had never heard of it, but I checked the menu out and figured I would like it. Well, I LOVED it. I got a beef bulgolgi and white rice bowl with cucumber, carrots, corn, and kale. I topped it off with the creamy sriracha sauce. The vegetables were fresh, and the meat was tender. Everything came together so well. I really can't wait to get back! read more

We ordered one portion of the rice and one portion of noodles. To be put in simple words it's like Korean chipotle with multiple meat options, sides and sauces that you can add. The portions were very good for the prices. Out of the both, the noodles were on the top. The chicken was very tender. Out of the sauce, ginger carrot is only favorite. Wish they had some appetizers like Korean fries chicken. But overall the food is excellent and highly recommend it. read more

Fast casual very vegan friendly proto chain. Yummy fresh food that I'll definitely go back for. Tons of vegan choices and gluten free to boot. I chose the Korrito with purple rice and tofu and all the veg and toppings. It was really good. It's essentially a giant hand roll burrito with seaweed instead of tortilla. The bowls looked good, too. read more

SeoulSpice - KORRITO with tofu - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I came here after working out the gym with my cousin. We were craving ANYTHING and we both agreed to try out Seoul Spice. This place really hit the spot. It's the same format as Chipotle so ordering was easy. The chicken wasn't dry and the workers were able to answer all of our questions regarding our order (which sauces are your favorite, what do you recommend, etc.) It was hot when it was given to us and the noodles were still bouncy even after walking 15 minutes away to eat it. It's really filling too! I was only able to finish half before I got full. Not only that, it only costed around $13. Well worth it for its price! read more

I love this little place in college park. It's such a great idea to combine the style of Chipotle and korean food. I always mix the greens and rice as my base so I'm not eating too much rice. Their bulgogi has some good flavor in it. They ran out when I went there, but I only had to wait 5 minutes or to get a fresh batch and it was worth the wait! The korean spicy sauce was the perfect amount of heat for me. It's definitely comparable to the sauces you find in korean food (like bibimbap sauce) - not mild, but not crazy spicy. It's not the cheapest thing to get in the area, but honestly I think it's well worth it. read more

SeoulSpice - Mixed greens, purple rice, bulgogi, bean sprouts, corn, cilantro, cucumber, korean spicy sauce - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I love it here! Every time I go visit my cousin, I will be popping in here for my meal. It's like a Chipotle for Korean food, and their jap chae (noodles) is so yummy! I got the chicken & bulgogi, because the tofu looked a little wet (which grossed me out), but it still tasted good. The chicken was okay (keep in mind I'm a flexitarian, so I'm picky about meat) and the bulgogi was good. Next time I will definitely be getting the tofu. read more

I first noticed the chain at the Montgomery Mall. I decided to check them out since they were open on the 4th. Very easy order and pick up on the campus. Order was ready on time. Bibimbap was delicious but missing a couple of things from an authentic one but well worth a try. read more

SeoulSpice - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Really good bulgogi bowl, love the Korean spice. Doesn't full you up but still good servings.

Absolutely delicious and healthy! As others mentioned, the model of food service is similar to Chipotle or Subway where you walk down a line and you choice your base, protein, toppings, and sauce. It is very efficient and the staff are all willing to answer your questions with a smile. I really like the noodles, chicken (SO GOOD), creamy siracha sauce, with all the veggie toppings. Adding sesame seeds and sesame oil gives such a wonderful aroma and when I splurge to get the avocado it just HITS. It makes the entire meal much more filling. Overall 10/10 especially in a college town where it can be difficult to find inexpensive, quick, HEALTHY AND YUMMY food! read more

This is my first time trying Korean and I have a new favorite food! This is a dedicated gluten-free restaurant and it was easy to find vegan sides (dairy allergy). I'm very pleased with the service and the price. It's basically a Korean chipotle. read more

SeoulSpice - Purple RICE BOWL - Korean Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I love the food here. It is definitely not authentic, traditional Korean food, but it has a lot of flavor, and lots of healthy protein and veggie options, and is very filling. Everything on the menu is gluten free, too. They even have gluten free desserts such as rice krispy treats and cookies, from local gluten free bakery Rise. I usually order a salad with chicken, and most of the veggies. For extra flavor, I add kimchi, fire powder, korean hot sauce, and the carrot ginger dressing (not really sweet, mainly fresh grated ginger flavor). Finally, the food is ready so quick, since everything is pre-made and they just assemble it when you order. Great for a quick and reasonably priced lunch or dinner. read more

This is my go-to place after class. The staff is great, but their food is even better. Love to get a rice bowl with their bulgogi beef with their Korean hot sauce. Definitely recommend. read more

Love the customizable bowls that are offered at this restaurant! This place feels more like a Korean fusion type of restaurant that mixes in Korean styled meats in with various vegetables and sauces, but still tastes great. I have ordered from this location for delivery twice and pick up one so far, and the food quality is still good after delivery. I usually order a bowl with the side of japchae for $10 and it lasts me a while when I eat it as a side. The japchae however is slightly more bland than I have tried at other restaurants, but still gets the job done. Would recommend anyone try this place if they are looking for something savory yet refreshing to eat. :) read more

Not bad, the presentation was great and the cashier was helpful. The bulgogi was not hot and the taco corn shell a bit on the cold. May need a bit more help on the culinary experience. Could be a great deal, flavors were there. Just some help on warming and service of food items. read more

This place was so YUM. Tasty, fresh ingredients, assembled to your liking. Reasonable prices for what I want to think is healthy food.

Mind blown TWICE in two days! I was down in the area recording for an album and was taken here for lunch by my colleagues and...OMG.... I've been obsessed ever since. I don't have a picture because I inhaled it every time The flavors work really well together and remind me of some of the homemade and restaurant based Korean meals I've had over the years in LA. I appreciate having a variety of options for different health requirements (gluten-free, vegan, keto, vegetarian, dairy free... everyone can find something filling and satisfying). I had the tofu with Japchae, an assortment of veggies, and as many sauces and spices I was allowed, and let me tell you... I'm sitting at home right now, roughly 20 miles/30 minutes away contemplating faring MD traffic to head from Columbia to College Park for a bowl. I could eat here everyday and not blink an eye. It was so good I went home and recreated my own version of Japchae with kelp noodles.... Enough said, yes? If you were to open up a location in Columbia, you would KILL IT and have a legion of loyal customers (including me and my little family adding this to our weekly dining out rotation ‍) read more

If you are in the CP area and looking for a quick, filling, and satisfying meal, do yourself a favor and give this place a try! This place is a casual, 'build your own bowl' establishment with Korean style comfort food options that you can choose to customize your own epic bowl! The entire menu is also gluten free! You start with choosing your base. Choices include rice, japchae noodles, salad, or you can opt for a "korrito" (your ingredients + rice wrapped in seaweed, think like a big sushi burrito) Next, you choose your protein. Options include bulgogi beef, jeyuk gui (spicy pork), sweet & savory chicken, and my personal favorite, tofu! Their tofu is caramelized in a kalbi marinade, making it super flavorful and crispy! There are numerous delightful veggie options so I won't go too much into those, but I will spend some time discussing the sauces because they are game changers. Honestly, all of their sauces are good so you can't go wrong with any of them, but I personally love the carrot-ginger and creamy siracha. They have a bunch of toppings and extras. If you try any of them at all, you must try "the egg". There is so much hype around " the egg" which I didn't understand why until I tried it. "The egg" is a soft boiled egg which is marinated in a sweet soy sauce and has a nice runny yolk. It's a perfect compliment to any bowl and lives up to the hype! read more

I discovered this place in the Westfield Mall in Bethesda, MD and boy did it take me by surprise! the food was really good and the staff got to know us pretty well! I really love their food. But then I started going to the one in College Park, MD and things changed. I've been there twice now and both times the servers painstakingly put the absolute bare minimum toppings. They even go as far as taking out of your bowl what they put in the bowl!? I order double kimchee but they still don't put enough on where you can get kimchee with ever bite. I will not longer go to this location because they rip you off! read more

Good and tasty. Very authentic. Made fresh. A lot of food and very filling for the money. Nice chill seating area.

I'm Korean and am usually skeptical of "Americanized" Korean food. However, this place is the bomb!!! I legit crave this every week. I love the flavors, the sauces, and all the combinations and options you can select from. Super fresh and delicious ingredients. I highly highly recommend this place! It's a great bang for your Buck and my favorite "fast food" Place to just grab food and go. Just writing about this place makes me want to eat there now! P.S. the staff are all fabulous :) read more

I love this spot! I have been dying to try a new genre of food in the college park area. We have a lot of options in this area such as nandos, &pizza, cava, and chipotle but I was quickly becoming bored. I looked up good food and found Seoulspice! This place is certainly a hidden gem. It is located beneath an apartment building next to an amazon which made it a little hard to find but boy was it worth it. The people who worked the line were so patient and knowledgeable. They even let me know what their favorite choices of veggies and sauces are for the perfect combination. The bowl was so flavorful and the spicy pork and beef were cooked to perfection. I also took to the cashier's advice and got the kale apple and I will have to say I found my new favorite drink. Try something new and definitely try out seoulspice. read more

3.5 stars~ The restaurant inside looks very clean and nice since it is newly built! My boyfriend and I both got rice bowls- spicy pork and bulgogi. A lot of my bulgogi was burnt to the point that I couldn't chew it because it was like charcoal hard :/ The spicy pork was good though! Everytime I go to eat pokebowl, I get the beef. The best way to describe the bowl: it's *exactly* what this rice bowl tastes like- poke :O I don't think I would eat here again but I do like the ambiance and the food isn't bad! Disappointed from the bulgogi though. read more

Ordered on Yelp & it was a quick service. I got their Korrito with bulgogi, purple rice, corn, cucumbers, carrots, kimchi, radish, slaw, sesame seeds + oil, cilantro, and scallions. Their creamy sriracha and cilantro-lime ranch sauces were on point! If I'm in the area again, I will most def. be back to get another Korrito and try their Japchae + Bibimbap. Honestly, I could've eaten two Korritos but for the price, I thought the amount of food was fair. Though the juice (Yuzu Honey Lime) was refreshing, I thought it could've used a little bit more sweetness. I thought mine was more on the tart side. read more

Excellent food. A go to place when working in College Park. I highly recommend trying this place, you won't be disappointed.

I'll be honest... Disappointing! Their k-bowls are so hipster and trendy, it is barely Korean so much as a marketing ploy to brand themselves as some cool Asian grab-and-go spot. Literally the worst Korean food I have ever eaten. Lacking serious flavor and inauthentic! We ordered two Korean burritos, japchae to share, and a bowl with bulgogi. The burritos were okay. The japchae was painfully dry, devoid of vegetables (nothing more than some carrots), and absent of sauce. I expected hints of sesame, soy sauce, and maybe some peppers and onions. Not to mention, the japchae is advertised as serving up to 4 people when in reality, the takeout container is the same size as a singular k-bowl (damn). K-bowl was fine but again lacking authentic Korean staples. Kale?? Diced cucumbers?? Bulgogi was tender and actually the best part of the bowl TBH. Although the best part of the meal was "the egg" (which for $2.50, cmon)! Delicious and full of runny yolk, drenched in sauce. Moist and tender. The saving grace! GET THE EGG, TRUST ME. read more

Only ever ordered takeout from here but their menu is very gluten-free friendly and their delivery leaves no space for being upset. A nice way to change up your lunch order and still have something healthy and delicious! Packaging allows the food to arrive in tact. read more
