Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant

I was pretty disappointed with the food here. The sides were decent but the soups we ordered (Kalbi-​tang and rice cake/​potsticker) were under seasoned and the chunks of green onion was overpowering. The worst was the Philadelphia roll which looked like a 5 year-​old made it because it was sloppily made and the salmon was of questionable color and texture. Will not be coming back.

Unseasoned pork
Really hard to fuck up an unseasoned pork strip, but I’m mostly disappointed in the size
Spicy Pork
It was on the sweet and spicy side, but nothing special.
Bulgogi
Too salty, traditional Bulgogi suppose to be sweet and hint of saltiness.
People of the Naval fleet and Narrows bridge go to Palace Korean Buffet in Lakewood, WA then you’ll understand my criticism. Before sending the hate messages to me go try the buffet at S. Tacoma Way Lakewood then come talk to me.

You have to try the bbq portion if you have a large party. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. The side dishes are also tasty. A lot of the food comes out fresh and you can cook it in front of you. If you don’t mind smelling like bbq come here it’s worth your time and experience.

One of my favorites in Silverdale. The foid is great as well as the service.

I love this place and the service is always good. Never had a bad meal there and it is a gem in Silverdale. Shout out to Lauren the server, you are so appreciated and very good and attentive.

My first experience here was great. I was with family and we got to try a bunch of entrees. The other members of my party all ordered spicy meals whereas I opted for a more sweet Korean dish. I ordered the jap chae and it was absolutely delicious! The noodles were just the way I liked it-​firm, chewy and flavorful, the veggies fresh and the meat tender– albeit a little lacking. The appetizers were fun and filling. My second experience wasn’t so great, I got a Bulgogi entrée. There were more veggies than anything. There wasn’t much meat to sate my appetite. I tried their avocado boba but it was nothing special. The pearls were hard and half-​frozen. The drink was all in all too sweet. As for the service, the bare minimum was met. Nothing special but nothing too bad about it either.

I came here with my family around lunchtime and ordered a plate of meat and some vegetables. The service was awesome! The waitress was attentive and was quick to clear up any dishes we emptied. Their kimchi wasn’t as intense as other KBBQ places I’ve been to, but KBBQ is KBBQ and I’ve come to realize that it just depends on the city. But hey, I still downed my Cucumber Kimchi and Kimchi like it was nothing. I really appreciated that the waitress offered to refill some of the banchan. I don’t know about other KBBQ joints, but some of the one I’ve been to don’t give you that option. Our meat plate was more than enough to fill a party of four. I can see why my Aunt loves to come here. Great service, amazing food, when I’m in Silverdale again, I won’t mind dropping by and having dinner.

Awesome. We usually go as a group & get all you can eat. Great Soon Du Bu.

This is a nice, clean, small restaurant. This is not the «typical» Korean bbq my wife and I are used to. There is no free range area where you can pick up your own food and the meat definitely has a different flavor, more vinegar or sour than I would like. They also didn’t have rice wrappers when we went but offered lettuce. I will say that with a lone waitress, the service was good. We may not be visiting this restaurant again based on our first impression.

Really wanted to try the Korean BBQ where you cook it yourself so we decided to go for our date night. The restaurant is nice and it wasn’t crowded and we ordered the steak and shrimp to cook and a California roll. They gave us the Korean sides that were all good! We got the meat and started cooking it and realized that 95% of the meat was fat. The shrimp was good and the Cali roll though. We paid 23 for the steak and 17 for the shrimp. I think the prices are a little crazy and they refilled our drinks once because they were too busy cleaning to get ready to close. I don’t think we will be going back due to it being pricey but wasn’t a total waste of a meal!

I called in a to-​go order from Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant in hopes of satisfying my craving for Beef Bibimbap. I ordered The Beef Bibimbap, Teriyaki Beef, Chai Bubble Tea and Mango Bubble Tea. The phone call was quick and painless. The friendly server told me my order would be ready in ten minutes.
I arrived at the location twenty minutes later. When I walked in the door I was unsure where to go. There was a sign that said wait to be seated. The restaurant is relaxed and casual so once the waitress/​hostess spotted me she called me over to a table. I explained to her that I had a to-​go order. She said okay and left me standing in the middle of the restaurant.
After a moment of confusion, I followed her to the cashier. (It’s at the back of the restaurant.)
Everything went well until I got home and opened the boxes. My Beef Bibimbap barely had any meat in it. The meal had all of the appropriate veggies, but there was an insane amount of bean spouts. Way more than I’m used to when ordering Bibimbap.
In contrast, my husband’s Beef Teriyaki had a LOT of beef. The rice was as expected.
Overall, the meal was tasty and the service was pretty good.

I love Korean BBQ!!! It’s always fun when you have a group of friends chatting while cooking their own Korean food. It’s even better when you bring people who’ve never done it before. It’s just a fun experience to have, I think, but you better love meat!!! It’ll be worth it for the All-​you-​can-​eat price. LOL.
I have come to Seoul quite a few times in the last couple years that I’ve lived in the Kitsap area and will probably go once or twice before I move this year. I can’t say it’s the best Korean BBQ place and can’t give it more than 3 stars because honestly, it’s really just alright. The food is good enough but not the best. The prices can be high for some menu items and even though the All-​you-​can-​eat is $ 19.95, they’ve taken a lot of meat options off the ayce menu (including the Kalbi beef ribs). It’s really the only ayce Korean BBQ place around here so I could possibly give it 4 stars for the area but because of the service, I had to take away some stars.
You see, I’ve gone to many AYCE Korean BBQ places before so I feel I have a good basis for comparison. I’ve lived in CA and always go to Korea Town in LA for $ 10 AYCE K-​BBQ. It’s delicious, cheap, and always fun. They have tons on their menu and for only $ 10, it’s amazing!!! There’s also tons of other places in LA that’s a bit more expensive but you get a whole buffet with it. Then, I’ve also been to K-​BBQ on the east coast, in New Jersey & New York, with family there. It’s $ 26 a person for AYCE but it’s buffet style and you get an amazing selection of food and can eat however much of anything you want, including seafood and appetizers, as well as rice, noodles, soups, etc. Then we have Seoul in Silverdale…
The price is average at $ 19.95/person, I would say. The food is mediocre. The meat isn’t marinated to the point that I can say it’s bursting with flavors. They don’t give you sauce options for dipping like at other places; all you have is soy sauce. Like I’ve said, the meat option for AYCE is limited. They give you a small amount of rice and charge you extra to refill it even though you got the AYCE option. They don’t have rice paper and charge you for lettuce to use as wraps. The ban chans (the appetizers that come with your meal) are one of my favorite parts about K-​BBQ. However, at Seoul, the older lady there always seems kind of mean and annoyed when you flag her down to ask her to refill those tiny plates. It makes me always nervous to ask her. I mean, these plates are small and even though there’s quite a few of them, they really only serve 2 – 3 people. When you come with a large group of 5 or more, they go quick and so you should be able to ask for refills often but she makes me feel like it’s so bothersome to her that I don’t even want to ask. It kind of ruins it for me.
I don’t know if other Unilocalers know what lady I am talking about, but she seems like the boss there. I’ve gone when it’s not busy and we were one of 3 groups there, and the only group doing AYCE, and she still seems all annoyed at us for asking for refills on water or soda or ban chans. Sighhhhh. Most other places are friendly and people come by and ask if you need anything and ask if you want your ban chans refilled. This lady doesn’t do any of that. She barely even smiles and we would spend over $ 150 for a group of 5 or 6, not including tip. We don’t even eat that much meat since I can’t eat a lot and we have other girls in the group. We just like having options and so choose AYCE. Anyways, the older lady is probably the major gripe I have about this place besides the price and lack of meat options. I mean, the other wait staff are pretty nice and accommodating but even I get scared to ask them for refills on even soda just because the boss lady is there.
I would still come here because I am pretty limited on my AYCE Korean BBQ options in this area. The food is decent and prices are ok. But if another place opens up in Kitsap, I would probably rather go there.

For the Location and the Price, this place is definitely up there. I would have given this place a 4-​Star if there was more options for Meat. They had a $ 19.95 AYCE special, which came with Beef Bulgogi, chicken, slicked pork (Bacon), Spicy pork, squid, soup, and mixed veggies. The Beef Bulgogi and the spicy pork was my favorite, got a 2^nd helping of that. All the side dishes were typical, kimchee, bean sprouts, tofu, etc. nothing special about it. If I was ever stuck in Silverdale again, and am craving Korean BBQ, then most definitely will go here. Otherwise I’ll enjoy The Korean BBQ in seattle.

Went to this place on the assumption it was going be an amazing Korean food experience. It was not. The prices seem to be premium but the quality of the meat was not. Frozen to death meat was brought out with an absurd price. Never going back again for brown freeze bitten meat.

By the looks of all the other reviews we must have showed up on a bad night. However I will not go here again.
The food was ok but one lady that worked there was rude as hell I think she might have been the owner idk.
I have been to a lot of these type of places and the food was mediocre at best. My problem with the place started after we ordered the BBQ we also ordered a philly roll and a avocado roll. Philadelphia roll was for my kid. For some reason it came with crab in it??? Even though on the menu it says salmon and cream cheese like most restaurants. Nobody at our table likes crab. Brought it to the waitresses attention and another lady came out and said that’s the way they make philly rolls there. Then she said to me with an attitude «what do you want me to do about it???» I said how about one with no crab like your menu says, she said they are out of salmon.
She then loaded dirty plates on top of my avocado roll which I was going to eat but they were in the same dish as the philly roll
I was irritated but I let that all slide
My wife asked where the lettuce was that is usually served with Korean BBQ (my wife is Korean) she said they were busy and forgot
The lady made a angry face and shook her head as she walked back to the kitchen.
At that point I told my wife screw this place and told her to pay so we could go. I had half a beer and a couple bites of the bbq meat
So I left hungry and very irritated
I won’t be back, I don’t pay for a bad attitude

This was our first experience with Korean BBQ. It had the ambiance of your typical teriyaki place, which made sense since one half of the restaurant was for teriyaki. The food was decent, although since we had never had Korean BBQ we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. The wait staff was kind in that they let us do our all you can eat and actually let us take home what we couldn’t eat. So thank you for that!

Ooooooohhhhhh … I so wish we had something like this down in our area!
Tables are 6 per with a BBQ in the middle where you make your own, so to speak. Went here 3 times while in the area and was great all 3.
The Combos are wonderful and there was enough food for everyone including their respective army’s. The spices are traditional Korean. The Gyoza and Mandu Soon Du Bu appetizers are excellent and well done.
My only complaint was there was too much Pork Spicy Bul Go Ki in comparison to other dishes and could have been more veggies.
I wish I had more time to try the other main dishes.
Side note: LOVED the graffiti wall!

We had really great service, but we also went when it was super slow. We got the all you can eat table special, but couldn’t even finish round 1. But it was a few dollars cheaper than the first combo, so meh. The beaux has been looking for decent bul go ki since he came back from Korea, and finally was pleased. The spicy pork was yum, but the regular pork had a really strange taste, almost bitter. I also got some lumpia, and their sauce was amazing. It was a little pricy but overall good. I might pick some up on the way home to satisfy his craving, but its very out of the way.

I usually order the seafood tofu soup. Just enough spice. Usually comes with three to four shrimps and lots (I mean lots) of tofu. Also comes with octopus strips. Don’t order their spicy chicken teriyaki thinking you’re going to get the Japanese style teriyaki though, it’s like Kim Chi teriyaki! The dish was drenched in the sauce. The chicken is bland for the teriyaki so just stick with the Korean dishes!
Overall, fast service and good prices.

I just love Korean food. In fact I am sitting in my hotel room writing this review, while located in Jinju South Korea on business… no I am not Korean myself, but I sure love the food.
This restaurant is the real deal. The food is absolutely fantastic. I have tried the both the grill at your table and also the standard off the menu… perfect.
While the food is good, so is the attention and service from the staff… flawless.
