The service was efficient, timely and friendly. The interior space was clean, modern but had nice touches of korean culture and art. Our food was really good, our favorite was the spicy pork and seafood pancake. The banchan were good and tasted fresh! We will come back again to try the other dishes. I was eyeing their galbi and their bibimbap stone pots! read more

It's in a very walkable, cute downtown, and at least one table has a really nice view of the street outwards (note that the windows are tinted from the outside so check the hours in case they are open!) The waitstaff was very attentive and the food was fine, but they are very stingy with the banchans, and when I requested more to enjoy with my bibimbap, I was told that they would only refill once. I've never had that happen before at a Korean restaurant before, especially with food at this price range ! read more

Stopped here for lunch on a weekday afternoon. No crowds. Brought two friends who had never been. Service is prompt and responsive. We were seated right away. The setting is very simple, casual, and clean. Menu is on a QR code and you order with the host/server. We started with a half order of wings which were very well done, balanced sweet, spicy, and crispy. They also brought out a radish soup which was refreshing and a nice surprise. The banchan was broccoli, kimchi, and pickled radish. All were tasty. It would have been nice to have one more because the kimchi and radish were spiced/pickled similarly. We had the japchae with chicken and bimbimbap with chicken. Japchae was delicious, served with ample shiitake and wood ear mushrooms. The bimbimbap was also good. Would definitely go back. read more

This was a small place with all Korean dishes to choose from. The service was appreciated while the food came out very quickly. For appetizers, the bulgogi wrap ($16) and a small order of wings ($9) were ordered. The wrap was flax seeds flour rolled with bulgogi beef and various vegetables. There was also some type of mayo and teriyaki sauce (or eel sauce) on top. This was good. The wrap was light and held up with the beef filling. The beef was flavorful and paired well with both sauces. There were five wings. The sauce chosen was the sweet and spicy. Each wing was of good size while being very saucy. There was definitely more heat than sweet, but still ideal flavor. I did think they would be a tad crispier. For an entrée, I had the kimchi fried rice with beef ($22). This was solid. The fried egg was a little hard, but the rice had good flavor and was just overall tasty and well rounded. I also tried the bulgogi soup. The broth was outstanding. They also provided some broccoli, kimchi, noodles, and I believe glazed sweet potatoes as sides. The broccoli was great with a little sesame oil present. The sweet potatoes were pleasant as well. Will I go back? Yes. read more

A local mom pop Korean restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Upon entry, we were greeted by the owner. The menu were not extensive but it has all the popular common dishes: beef, pork or chicken, rice and japchae which are clear glass noodles. We ordered out usual comfort Korean dishes like beef bulgogi, tofu dish, japchae and fried seafood Pancake. The side dishes, banchan, are complimentary and a hit. Overall, service and food is decent. read more

This is a cute restaurant located in Somerville. The windows are tinted very dark, so it might look like they're closed, but just check the posted hours. We went in the early afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. They offer typical Korean dishes. We ordered the japchae noodles, beef bulgogi, and Korean pancakes. Everything tasted fine--nothing exceptional, but decent. Prices are on the higher side, though that seems to be the trend everywhere these days. There's no dedicated parking, so you'll need to find a spot on the street or use one of the nearby lots. Overall, the food isn't bad, but it's not a place I'd visit regularly. read more

My husband and I always enjoy dining at Seoulville. We recently visited on Thursday night around 6pm, before most people in Somerville come out for dinner. We were the first diners to arrive. We were greeted with a friendly hello and promptly seated in the contemporary but softly lit dining room. We ordered hot tea to drink, which hit the spot on a damp windy March evening. FYI, Seoulville is a BYOB restaurant. We enjoyed an appetizer sampler plate of "9 delicacies", various picked vegetables, steamed shrimp, Bulgogi meat and Korean mini pancakes. It was a light and tasty sampler. For dinner my husband had the bulgogi which is served with seasoned vegetables. He opted to add optional seasoned rice and a fried egg. I opted for the bulgogi soup which is the sliced prime rib served in a flavorful mushroom broth (I counted at least 3 different varieties of mushrooms in the broth. The broth also contained sliced jalapeño, carrots, and glass noodles. It is a hearty and filling soup. Both dishes were served piping hot in hot pots. Refills were provided for our hot tea. Although we have visited the restaurant several times over the past few years since it moved to its present location, this is my first review. The food and the service are consistently good. read more

This is the real deal. Not a full Korean BBQ, but the stoneware dishes are spot-on, and service excellent. Owner reminded me of the Korean moms that introduced me to the cuisine years ago. The house-made gochujang paste lights up everything it touches, including the best kimchi I've ever had, and I love kimchi. Clean and simple decor. This is a winner. read more

Mediocre across the board. Nothing was terrible, nothing outstanding. The servings are quite small. We ordered wings for $16,they were sticky and cheap. Never again! The bibimbap and bulgogi were fine and were enhanced by the Korean BBQ sauce. I liked the persimmon drink and the burdock tea is warming on a cold day. The prices on the menu do not match what we were charged. For instance, the wings on the menu were $16 but we were charged $17. Other dishes were 2 or 3 dollars above the menu. Rice wasn't included in all dishes. The owner rushed us the whole time even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. We had dishes taken away that still had plenty of food. read more

Seoulville - Korean Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

We went to Seoulville for some late night Korean food in Somerville on the weekend. Initially, we thought the restaurant was closed, but upon entering, we realized that the windows were just tinted. We were the only diners during the entirety of our meal despite coming an hour before closing. The entire time, we felt as if we were being rushed by the staff which took away from our experience. Regardless, the food was not bad and I actually enjoyed my japchae. My boyfriend ordered the chicken bibimbap which is hard to find at Korean restaurants and his main comment was the lack of spice. Overall, Seoulville is a solid Korean restaurant in a cute town and I would recommend coming, but well before the closing time. read more

Friendly staff serving authentic Korean food. We were greeted when we arrived and they didn't miss a beat.

Delicious authentic Korean food with excellent service! Bulgogi and spicy pork hot stone bowls were delicious as was the soondubu. It is always a good sign to see the restaurant busy on a weekday lunch and with Korean patrons present. read more

I don't often get to have Korean food, so this was a real treat! For starters, it's in a lovely area, very walkable and nearby to numerous bakeries, in case you want dessert. My parents and I were seated promptly and immediately attended to, which was very nice. The menu is not very long, but everything on it looked delicious. I decided to order the dolsot bibimbap, something I was admittedly nervous to try since vegetables don't tend to be my favorite. I couldn't have made a better choice! The vegetables were all so flavorful and were actually grilling on the sides of the pot, which was a sight to see! Everything was perfectly seasoned, the marinade on the beef was delicious and I found myself wishing I had a second stomach to eat it all! My only, very minor complaint is that the fried egg ended up getting somewhat overcooked for my taste, but that's probably just a side effect of the dolsot style. I wish I lived closer because if I did, I would be in here every week sampling their menu. As it stands, I've been fantasizing about it all ever since. As for my parents, they ordered the seafood and scallion pancakes, which were well cooked with some delicious shrimp in them, and the Seoulville KFC, which I didn't try but it was given much praise by my father. Just a lovely little family owned place, very quiet and with great service! Highly recommend! read more

The food was average, but the exceptional customer service and prime location made the visit worthwhile.

I was craving some bibimbap, and my girlfriend suggested Seoulville since it has a chicken option unlike most places. We arrived around 9:00 PM and saw that there was no one there; we thought they were closing up even though they close at 10:00 PM. After speaking with them, they said the kitchen closes at 9:30 PM, which was fine by us since we knew what we were going to order. Once seated, we ordered right away and got the chicken bibimbap and jobchae. I liked my bibimbap but felt as though I needed more red sauce on it since I like my spice but didn't want to keep requesting more sauce from my waitress. My girlfriend liked her jobchae as well. Overall, this was a good restaurant to try out and it has a nice atmosphere. read more

Food: who does not like some stir-fried food? I mean you are not a fan of stir-fried food, do plan a different lunch option! Service: this looks like a family-owned spot. People seem to have a vested interest in customers being taken care of. They also have a lightness and calm in their movements. Not sure if it is the ambiance or the way they move but it was calming. Parking: Somerville has a lot of parking lots. You may have to walk a few minutes but it is also enjoyable to walk the streets of Somerville. Value: the pricing on the menu looked reasonable. The food was also delicious This is all around a great place to go to enjoy delicious food in a welcoming spot. read more

I wanted to like this place, but it was a very awkward dining experience. The waitstaff hovered nearby and it was hard to have a conversation. The food was a bit bland. Just not what I expected. read more

Food was great! It is a smaller place so if you have a large party, call ahead of time. The portions were just right for us, but we thought it might be smaller than a chain Korean BBQ place. The quality of the food easily makes that up. read more

A superb korean restaurant in the heart of Somerville. Simple and cleanly adorned restaurant is a great so of you are looking for just a snack or a meal, so many great options. We ordered the Seoulville K.F.C, Cheesy Spicy Chicken Special, Burdock Tea, Tong Samgyupsal Special. The Seoulville KFC fried chicken was tasty but be prepared for smaller sized chicken pieces. The cheesy spicy chicken special was our first time having cheese in our dish. After seeing it in so many Korean drama, we were eager to give it a try and it did not disappoint. It went so well with the spicy chicken and even better with the Tteokbokki. The oven baked pork belly was my favorite dish. Crispy on the outside yet juicy and tender on the inside left you wanting more and more. Staff are friendly and helpful. The pricing is slightly higher than other Korean restaurants but we'll worth in the end. read more

Fun fact, I permanently stained a shirt eating Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy pork) here. I bought the same exact shirt and...stained it again, here, eating the same dish. I have since learned not to wear white to eat Korean food. Their banchan is high quality and if you mention that you don't eat certain ones, they will bring you something else instead (I'm growing, but there are certain preparations of fish that...I'm not there yet). Service is efficient and friendly and I've mostly been by for lunch. The spicy pork, beef bulgogi, and bibimbap all stand on their own. I have not tried their soups or stews, which would really uncover how they rank in relation to other Korean spots, but I'll try them eventually since the other dishes have not let me down yet. read more

Authentic! Flavorful! My friend and I shared some dishes and they were all excellent. Steamed egg was soft, served very hot, and had a nice flavor to it (pretty mild flavor, but the egg dish is supposed to be pretty mild). Spicy, cheesy chicken dish was delicious- not extremely spicy, but spicy enough from the gochujang sauce and had rice cakes, veggies, and good sized chicken pieces. The mozzarella cheese was super ooey-gooey and stringy - just how you would want it. Then the kimchi soup was my favorite. I like my soup more sour than spicy - this was the perfect amount of sour. Tofu in the soup was nice and soft. Came with a bowl of rice which was also great. I loved this place!! I wish they had tteokbokki...but sadly it was not on the menu. I was happy to still find rice cakes in my chicken dish! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants since I can not find any other Korean restaurants near by my house. The food is delicious and side dishes are good . The interior inside the restaurant are nice with white and wooden color and relaxing . Good place to go with friends on Friday and have a good time ! It is not cheapest place but it is not too much overpriced either. The kitchen from outside and the bathroom seems clean !! I like any restaurants that have a clean bathroom. That means this restaurant runs well ! I will stop by Seoulville again when I have a chance . I can't wait to eat seafood hot tofu soup which is my favorite dish . read more

The food here was pretty good. Without even requesting it, we were seated far away from the other large group at the restaurant. The employees all wore masks and/or shields. They have canned drinks, not fountain, but let me get to the food. The spicy pork entree with the rice and egg served in the stone bowl was sooooo good. However, the pork was way spicier (in a spicy but not savory/flavorful way) than I expected. The meal came with soup, which was good. And the portion size was great. With two drinks and an appetizer, in total I paid about $32-35. Def not bad. read more

Such a beautifully decorated restaurant! I really enjoyed my experience at Seoulville. The staff was very friendly and the food was good.

Rolled into Seoulville 15 minutes before the kitchen was closing with a party of 9, but the owner and staff were so kind to let us come in and cooked a grand meal for us! The "Dolsot Bi Bim Bap" is what I have to get at every Korean restaurant, and this was one of the better ones I've had. I loved the mix of fresh and pickled vegetables, and the fried egg on top was shaped in a perfect circle AND perfectly crisped on the bottom with just enough runniness to spread throughout the rice when I mixed it up. I do think the quantity was rather meager for the price, but not bad. The Seafood and Scallion Pancake was also one of the better ones I've had. A generous helping of seafood in every bite, the pancake was fluffy, and it tasted like it had been cooked in fresh oil! Definitely worth getting as an appetizer for the table. Glad to have a solid Korean spot right in town! read more

Food Poisoning Central We've ordered food from Seoulville probably over two dozen times over the years BUT NEVER AGAIN. My husband ordered the short rib soup and subsequently had diarrhea for 48 hours. He was not even able to sleep, because of how frequently he needed to use the bathroom, and became so dehydrated he needed to go to the ER for an IV. He gave my dog a few pieces of the beef, as he usually does when we order from Seoulville, and my dog was likewise vomiting and having diarrhea as well. This is the only food that my dog ate besides his normal kibble all week. When a restaurant does not take food safety seriously and causes such terrible food poisoning to warrant a visit to the ER, that's when we cross that restaurant off the list and try to warn others so they don't suffer the way we did. read more
