Amazing Korean food in the heart of Hazel Dell! We tried a Sool Korean Kitchen when we were craving Korean in the neighborhood but didn't want to eat something as heavy as Korean barbecue... After a small weight we were seated and proceeded to order some Korean Yummies! Everything was crafted well and tasted delicious. Service was a bit lacking, but given that it was a soft opening we'll show them some grace and hopefully they'll be able to work out the kinks! Gamsahamnida Sool! read more

Sool Korean Kitchen - Korean Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Cute space, clean, friendly staff. We had to wait a little to be seated but that wasn't a big deal. Good portion size for the price. We ordered the meat jeon, kimchi pancake, and hot stone bi bim bap. The Kim chi pancake had a good thickness and was crispy on the outside. The flavor of the bi bim bap was good, it could have used a little more bulgogi. The meat jeon was different than what we expected (which was Hawaii style meat jun) so we were a little disappointed there but there was decent taste. Will come back to try other dishes. We did enjoy the ban chans! read more

Been fortunate to eat at many Korean restaurants on the west coast. This place is legit. Dropped in for weekend lunch. Place was packed. Servers, while busy, were very pleasant and the dining area was neat and very clean. The soft tofu soup was very flavorful but trended spicy (like other yelpers have said). They should crank back on the gochugaru to make a milder version. Thankfully icy water pitchers available every table! Will def return to try out other items. read more

Friendly attentive staff. Menu consists of Korean dishes you don't typically see. The stir friend pork and squid was delicious and not too spicy. We ordered the tteoboki with all add ons [cheese, beef, noodles] and the cheese was melted right in front of us. The beef short rib soup was so tender it fell off the bone. The place was so clean. Would absolutely recommend. read more

Very impressed with this new addition to the Vancouver food scene! They were very busy, line out the door just after we arrived kinda busy. The appetizers arrived after the entrees, maybe the only bummer of the visit, we probably wouldn't order them again when it's busy and just stick with the main course, but still delicious! The service was excellent: you can tell that they are a new and thus a very popular place, but the staff just kept focused and did an amazing job managing the flow in the front of the house. Food was great! Definitely returning. Fun K-pop music and videos playing. Very chill place. read more

Absolutely amazing food! 10/10 across the board. My table got japchae, dolsot bibimbap with seafood, galbi, daeji bulgogi. The galbi was cooked perfectly and the japchae was easily the most flavorful I have ever had from a restaurant. The banchans were so good - the kimchi was the highlight of those, as it was just the right amount of spicy. The interior is very modern and clean. This is a great place for a lunch date. The servers were incredibly kind and clearly took pride in the food they were serving. Only thing was we had to wait awhile to get water refills, but this is a new place and I am sure they are just getting into a groove. I 100% recommend! read more

Best Korean restaurant I visited "SOOL" as they opened at the Vancouver location. I was super excited that they opened here since most of Korean restaurants are saturated in Tigard or Beaverton area. My first impression of the restaurant is vey clean and fresh as they made open the kitchen so that customers can see it thru the hall. Very trusty. I ordered my favorite Korean foods which was Ddoppokki, Seafood pancake, and tofu soup. It WAS BOMBED. I didn't expect this good since I've tried many korean restaurant but the tastes were similar around the average in OR. However, the chief of this place knows how to express special 감칠맛. They did GREAT JOB on choosing the menu selection. I added Beef brisket (Cha dol)on my ddoppoki and it was SO GOOD. I LOVED sea food pancake that was CRISPY! On my second visit, I brought my friend who's never tried Korean food, and SHE LOVED IT. I ordered LA Kalbi (Beef Short Rib), Hot stone bibimbab, and Jabchae. I REALLY REALLY LOVE their HOT STONE bibimbab. I love how they made the stone pot hot so that the rice get crispy. I do order it for the CRISPY RICE (Nu roong ji). I will go visit this weekend. read more

Food was great. Would go again! Front of house staff need to work better together. Took a long time to turn tables. Menu design could use some help. Hard to read and no drinks on it. You have to walk up to some coolers in the front and pick one. But you can't take it with you, they have to serve it. Overall great place, recommend. read more

Finally found our favorite Korean restaurant - Sool. They just opened 4 weeks ago. I was feeling Korean food after seeing ttaeboki on a kdrama I was watching :-) Found them on Yelp and they have a solid 4.8 rating. We were hungry so didn't get a chance to take a pic but wow! their food is excellent and we plan to come back very soon. Pic of our bill to show what we ordered. All very delicious. Banchan was pretty good too although not as many as other Korean restaurants we have been. We got full with plenty of leftovers enough for another 2 person meal. The only thing that was lacking is that the dolsot bibimbap had very little beef in it for the price. Other than that, I agree with the high reviews. We will be back! read more

Kimchee was too old.. most of ban chan,is too sweet, too much sugar. It's more like kids meals. Need new cook's..

My wife and I decided to give this a try, even knowing they just opened. Honestly I would have given it a 5 star except for one servicing issue. The service itself was very friendly and great, but the timing of our food was pretty far off. I got mine served to me in a pretty good time, but my wives order was not delivered at the same time. So I decided to wait for hers to arrive as well, but it took ~15-20 minutes for hers to arrive, so mine was getting on the colder side by then. Its a good thing I didn't eat though when we first got it, because i would have been done by the time hers arrived and just sitting there as she ate alone. As I said its a timing issue that I can understand from a new place. We will go back after their grand opening and see if its improved at that time. Onto the good side though, all the food we ordered as our main entries (mackeral and beef bulgolgi) were extremely good and had great flavoring, and were cooked spot on. The Banchan was pretty basic, so perhaps improving on variety or some more interesting flavors would be a good idea. But the food itself was well worth returning for, which is why we will give it another go after their grand opening, and hope they worked out their kinks in timing. If they do I have no problem adjusting my rating to a higher one. read more

My husband and I were so excited to try Sool! We absolutely LOVE Korean food and that is one thing that Vancouver lacks! NOT ANYMORE! This was perfect, the food is exactly how it should be! We ordered the Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup w/ glass noodles, sprouts, onions... it's delicious and perfect on a cold day. You get sides (Banchan) our consisted of Kimchi, sliced cucumber salad, spiced radish, potatoes cooked w/soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil-- my favorite! I ordered the Galbi ribs. Chefs kiss! They were served on a hot plate with garlic and a few fresh sliced mushrooms underneath. These ribs are thin, tender and perfectly grilled! The food was so good we ordered another dish to take home, the spicy beef and squid bulgogi.. so so good! If you have not tried Korean food before... DO IT! You will soon find it is a favorite! My favorite dishes are: Bulgogi- any kind Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) Kimchi Stew- so delicious Galbi Ribs Bibimbap- steak Japchae- sweet potato noodle stir fry. I would like to mention the owners were very very nice and checked multiple times to make sure our food was to our liking. I highly recommend this place! I hope you try it- I would love for them to build a strong business and stick around! read more

My wife and I decided to stop in at Sool today after spotting it on yelp. It was delicious we shared the bibimbap bowl with beef and a seafood pancake and it was more than enough food amongst the two of us. The food all had a ton of flavor and spice and we can't wait to try more things from the menu! If you're new to Korean food, I do recommend looking at yelp pictures or looking at the menu ahead of time.

Spicy authentic! Wish the setting were a bit cozier, but when you're 80 you need cozy comfy. I have and will in the future returned/return.

Was here for vacation and came across this restaurant. Best choice ever! The food was so so good. Service was fast and very nice staff. Love the ambiance inside. Very clean. You can see what the cook is cooking. Banchan was good, kimchi was really good. A lot of different food to choose from. Food portions are big. Enough to share with multiple people. We'll definitely be back when we come back and visit. read more

Food made from powder and had tons of MSG. The water pitcher they placed on our table looked like Dollar Tree plastic pitcher. The service was horrible. I was carrying a 50lb infant carseat and a waiter walked by the door without opening the door for me. I gave this place stars for the clean and modern setting. Parking was also easy. Nothing else was pleasant about this experience. read more

Great food and friendly service. Go to place for Korean food. We'll definitely go back.

Friendly helpful staff. Stopped in solo for a quick lunch. Menu is more group friendly. Ended up ordering the tempura udon... wish there was something smaller that is Korean. The tempura udon came out with one little tempura shrimp and a few small slices of fish cake. Tasted good but if you order Tempura udon there should be more than one small shrimp for the price. read more

Fantastic service and delicious food. I've tried all of them in the local area and this one is the best! Next time I'll share pictures.

This pace is incredible! The food is so tasty and the staff is very nice. It has a clean and welcoming vibe.
