This little Korean restaurant is brand new! It's well worth giving it a try! They were busy for a Saturday afternoon. We ordered cheese corn (delicious roasted corn with tons of cheese! They torch it tableside), Japche (clear noodles with veggies) and Bibinbap (served in a stone bowl to make a crispy rice crust, with bulgogi beef and veggies with a fried egg on top). The Bibinbap was our favorite and most flavorful, but everything was delicious! We can't wait to return and try more dishes! I hope this place gets lots of business and I wish them success! read more

Delicious! My boyfriend and I saw Sool had recently opened, from a post on Facebook and had to stop in. We're always on the hunt for Korean food spots, especially ones closer to us in the Vancouver area. The menu given is a temporary one until their actual grand opening. Staff were fantastic and attentive. Food was sooo good. Ordered a ton of items and definitely left saying we'd be back to try more items on their menu! We absolutely love Korean food and have to say this has jumped up to the top spot of our rotations now. My favorite was the pollack stew and stir fried squid with pork. The banchan were all tasty. The set up of the restaurant was nice, lots of seats and booths available and TVs playing in the background. read more

Found hair in our to go food - in not just one dish but TWO. The person at the counter seemed very stressed out that we were even ordering, food prices have changed, Over priced.quality not there. Never again. read more

This place was so amazing! Sitting next to a Sally's and Safeway, a sweet little Korean restaurant seemed unlikely, but we were not disappointed. A clean, new interior welcomed us since this place seemed to have opened within the last year. The staff were SO sweet and took care of us very well, especially our server. The food was all delicious, we had several different dishes and all hit the spot. Everything tasted very authentic and home-made, and the serving sizes were generous for the prices. We had a wonderful lunch there, and hope to come back soon! Please try this place out, they deserve the wonderful reviews! 감사합니다! read more

Stopped by Sool while visiting the shopping area. The inside has a modern, clean vibe and could probably seat around 50 people. They had an open kitchen so you can see the staff cooking in the back and it made the space feel even bigger. The staff were very kind and the wait for the food was not too bad. My only criticism is that the music (kpop) was noticeably static-y and paused a lot at random times. I've been to many Korean restaurant before and this one did not disappoint. The beef bulgogi was... surprisingly reallyyy good. Bulgogi is such a classic dish so I wasn't expecting much, but the beef was so tender and had a good balance of savory and sweet. The seafood pancake was huge and crispy and came with a refreshing, soy-sauce based sauce. The tofu stew was spicy and had a lot of ingredients inside, making it very filling. Lastly the squid was also cooked well - not chewy and not too spicy (we asked for mild). We also got 6 banchan/side dishes, which were all pretty standard and tasty. Water came in a little plastic container that was switched out as soon as it was empty. Prices are a bit on the higher side (about $12-16 a dish) for its portion, but it seems to be the norm these days in restaurants. Sool also has hotpot which can be shared amongst a group of people. May try that next time I'm here! read more

Went tonight with my family to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately it was not worth the price at all. We spent well over $150 and left feeling disappointed. The dishes completely lacked the authenticity we expected from a Korean BBQ restaurant, especially the banchan which we were also never offered any more of. What bothered us the most was how every "meat" dish we ordered came out with far more vegetables and cabbage than actual meat. We thought we were ordering generous portions of quality meat, but instead we got plates filled mostly with veggies. For the price we paid, the value just wasn't there. Sadly, this place did not live up to our expectations and we won't be returning. Save your money & go elsewhere! read more

The food wasn't that authentic and beyond that, they weren't prepared well. I ordered the Chadol Doenjang Jjigae / 차돌 된장찌개 (Soybean paste stew with beef brisket) and there wasn't much flavor to the broth. The beef was tough to chew and the vegetables were cut into small slivers. My friends ordered the Soon Tofu Soup / 순두부찌개 and they said they had never been served soon tofu soup that looked like that before. The ban chan/ side dishes weren't that great. It included pickled radish. It also included mac salad, which isn't korean. read more

This has got to be vancouvers best Korean restaurant, seriously. It's not your typical kbbq set up- everything made in kitchen and brought to your table. Quality 10/10, portions 10/10 taste 10/10. I have been here twice now since they opened and both times have not disappointed. Price is very good considering how large the portions are too. So lucky to have this gem of a restaurant nearby! read more

Sool Korean Kitchen - Seafood Pancake & Bibimpap with beef & corn cheese - Korean Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Fun discovery of Korean restaurant in strip mall in Vancouver Washington. Staff was welcoming and invited us to pick a table. They have some booths and tables in center. Plenty of seating and was able to sit right away. Extensive menu from hot pots, soups and noodles, lots of appetizers and traditional Korean dishes. We ordered galbi, beef bulgogi, potstickers, cheese corn, tempura shrimp and shared our food family style. Meal comes with side dishes as well. We had plenty of food for 3 people. Meal was about $80 and felt reasonable. Favorites were Beef Galbi and cheese corn. Galbi was tender and had incredible sweet flavor. The bulgogi was less tender, good flavor but not as good as galbi and enjoyed the veggies it came with. Food came out quickly and I look forward to coming again. read more

This place is incredible. The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious. My boyfriend grew up in Korea and he says it tasted like home, as good as his mother makes. Everyone was very kind. They even have traditional tables, very authentic. The banchan was very good and we felt the meal was very good value. We will be regulars here. read more

As soon as I saw a new Korean restaurant in Hazel Dell, I knew I had to go. There was an open table when we arrived, so there was no wait time. We did go at an off hour, as by the end of our meal, there were several groups waiting. Quality of the food was pretty good across the board. So far, definitely one of the better Korean places I have been to on the Vancouver side. Will definitely be returning in the future! read more

FIRST NON KBBQ RESTAURANT IN VANCOUVER. Finally!!! They have stews like budae jiggae and galbijjim. We ordered the hamuel pajeon and galbijjim and both were spectacular. The price is in the $$ range but if you want authentic Korean food this is the only place to get it in Vancouver. read more

Recently saw that this place opened up and have been wanting to try it. There was quite the wait when we showed up and we waited about 25-30 mins to be seated. The staff was really friendly but we had to ask for water twice because they forgot. The restaurant was small but clean. There was about 10 tables or so and a very small waiting areas near the door. We had to wait about another 20-30 mins for our food to arrive, but it was very busy so understandable. The food was really good. We had the japchae, bulgogi beef and the hot stone beef bibimbap. Everything was flavorful but the hot stone beef dish barely had any meat in it... We will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

New Korean restaurant warranted a visit of course. Ordered the Tteokbokki, galbi tang, and yukgaejang. The tteokbokki was pretty good. Spicy but pretty small and not a lot of rice cakes for $12. The yukgaejang was quite interesting with bok choy and carrots. It was not very spicy and quite peppery. The galbi tang was nothing special either. Flavor was good and not too salty. Banchan had good variety but nothing that wow'd. Service however left a lot to be desired. Never got checked in again after getting our food. We were going to order a couple other items but never got the opportunity. The restaurant is nice inside. Very modern with lots of wood tones. I know it's a soft opening, so will revisit after the grand opening. It appears they have some kinks to work out before then! read more

Our first time here & we will be coming back. It was so so good. All the dishes felt like they were carefully thought about & cooked with so much love. We had blue crab ramen, short ribs, pot stickers & seafood pancakes. I can not say one bad thing about anything. I just wish I had more tummy room! Everything was hot & came out quickly. The prices were not outrageous eithet. Thank you for the excellent service. This place is going to do well! read more

Unfortunately I can't call what I got here Korean food. Ordered the dwaeji bulgogi. What I got was NOT dwaeji bulgogi. It was some type of spicy pork teriyaki or something. Wrong cut of pork, wrong spices, just plain not good. The banchan was not good either. Absolutely tiny portions, the cucumber kimchi had zero flavor and the cucumber was soggy like it was very old. The danmuji pickled radish had hardly any flavor, the kimchi was just okay. The rice was cooked okay, but no flavor. Given the banchan came in such tiny portions I finished those rather quickly and was never offered any more. I can't speak to the other dishes there, but if looking for dwaeji bulgogi (spicy pork bulgogi), go just about anywhere else. Was absolutely not worth the price. read more

2nd time eating here. Food is delish; service is excellent (was here in the weekend). Highly recommend. We will be back!

The food was delicious! It's been a while since I had Korean food but they give considerably large portions. They also give you quite a bit of side dishes and give refills. They have vegan options. The service is good. The ambiance is modern. Not everything is completed yet since the waiting area seating isn't finished but the rest of the restaurant is nice! We had the vegan bibimbap, Kalbi tang, and cheese corn. read more

Amazing little Korean spot in Vancouver! Fresh food with home crafted bachan. Portions are really generous and everything shines on the menu. Good for small parties and large also.

I normally don't leave reviews, but I felt compelled to this time. I've given this restaurant multiple chances, and unfortunately, it has disappointed me every single visit. 1. On one lunch visit, I waited 45 minutes for my food and eventually had to take it to-go since I only had 1 hour lunch break. 2. The second time, I came during a slow afternoon and felt very unwelcome. The waitress acted as though any request was an inconvenience. That experience made me think I wouldn't come back again. 3. 4 months later, I decided to give it another try in the evening. The restaurant wasn't busy and we were the only table, yet the service was still lacking. The staff checked on us only once--to take our order and later drop off the food. No refills on water or the banchans. To top that off, my soup was also lukewarm and not even hot enough to cook the egg. Overall, the service is consistently inattentive, the food leans heavily on black pepper, and the quality does not justify the price at all. I will not be returning. read more

Was excited to try this place out walked in wasn't greeted told to "go sit over there" wait 5 minutes for menus then when the waiter dropped off the water he said nothing we asked how his day was he said "good" seemed bothered by us asking. Continued to wait another 15 minutes for our order to be taken we decided to leave because it was obvious he didn't want to be bothered to take our order. Also menus and tables and water pitcher seemed worn down. read more

absolute comfort food o sam. bulgogi | my go-to is always going to be the o sam bulgogi. packed with veggies, favor, and everything nice! most main dishes come with banchan which helps balance the meals. galbi tang | my first time having this dish ever and i understand why this dish is such a staple in korean cusine. the meat was so tender it fell off the bone easily. the broth tasted so nutritious??? it was so simple but falvorful. It also came with clear noodles green onion pancake | their pajeon blew my mind- so crispy and flavorful, even the leftovers made me come back. On a seperate occasion I order the seafood jeon togo- super delishious as well though i recommended eating the pancakes while fresh staff was helpful, restaurant was spacious, plenty of booths and other seating options. clean and tidy. photos were taken on different occasions. been here three times since fall :) comfort, nutritious, my worth it winner read more

One of the few if any Korean restaurants in the Vancouver area. It's not a kbbq restaurant so it makes it stand out in the area. It is at the old Hawaiian restaurant if you're familiar. Many of the decorations from then is still there. Located in the Hazel dell neighborhood, in the same plaza as Safeway, Daiso, and crumbl. I've been here a few times. I was there for their soft opening... they definitely hired some more people. The younger employees are great as they move faster and you're able to get your order in faster instead of so much dead wait time. Ban Chans ( sides) are okay. I definitely had way better ones. Price wise is alright. I've had their bulgogi and their gal bi tang soup. In our opinion the no spicy bulgogi tastes better (we usually like the spicy one though). Galbi tang comes with a light clear broth soup and these very large ribs with some meat. The last time I had their gal bi tang... it was so salty.. idk what happened.. Parking is plenty and the restaurant is clean. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait. But glad there's a Korean restaurant in the area. But yes I agree with everyone here, there's so many better choices in the Beaverton area. I wouldn't make my way here if you're in Portland or Beaverton. But great if you live in Vancouver and you don't want to drive down. read more

Hate to do it. But if you say you're open until 9, you should be open at 8:30. It's annoying and it's false advertising. Maybe I should've called first, but I just assumed hours were accurate. Do better(: read more

So delicious!!! We loved this restaurant and the service is great! The atmosphere is generic, but the flavor makes up for it.

I came down with a cold and was craving something warm and comforting. I called and asked what soup they'd recommend for someone who has a cold. They mentioned their sul lung tang (never had that specific soup before but have had many other delicious Korean soups) and so I had my hubby pick it up on the way home with some kimchi pancakes of course; and everything was so so perfect and delicious. It was exactly what I needed! They had great customer service. Their food proportions were generous and the flavor was incredible. I was so happy to come across some authentic and tasty Korean food in Vancouver. It's really hard to find. I'd love if they added more to their menu! Just because of the two things I ordered were amazing I can't even imagine how good everything else is. Thanks again! Wishing you great prosperity for your business. read more

Food was fire literally and figuratively. Although service wasn't anything to mention just average, although It did take a while for me to get like more napkins/ getting checked up on. Very small shop homey vibes and nice environment. Korean army stew was rlly good it was spicy but a good spice and that raw marinade craw was spicy but good as well first time for me having it and it was a great experience. The Japgae was good but salty read more

My husband and I went to Sool Korean Kitchen for dinner this evening and it was absolutely amazing. We definitely over-ordered for two people, but it's hard to decide what to choose with a menu where everything sounds delicious. Tonight we had the Japchae, Tteok Bboki, Blue Crab Ramen, and La Galbi (plus the 7 sides). I wish I took pictures before we started eating, but we were hungry - at least I got some towards the start of the meal. La Galbi was tender and delicious. Tteok Bboki was sweet and spicy with a heat that builds the more you eat (loved it). Everything was packed with flavor and served in generous portions. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was welcoming, the service was great, and everyone we encountered was friendly. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more
