Our server definitely didn't seem like he was too happy about that and it showed most the night, but it could be me reading it wrong but that's what i interpreted it as. So i would say service was lacking. - Jahunger noodles thought this was tasty and the meats were cooked well and tender. The star was the noodles chewy bounce and had nice flavor. - Meefen noodles - ooooweee after a few bites definitely spicy and numbing haha probably the peppercorn bit i enjoyed this dish (paid for it later tho when digested haha) - Kavap (lamb kebab skewers) wasn't worth the price to portion ratio, well grilled and seasoned with cumin. Lamb was prepared well, no hint of gaminess. - Hand-made Lamb dumplings - hard pass for me next time, came out cold and bland. - not your avg honey cake- not my cup of tea but the lady enjoyed it! Reminded me of carrot cake consistency, mild sweetness which is nice. Not the dinner i would gravitate toward again but it was enjoyable dishes for trying it the first time.

This place is only take-out. The people on the staff are hospitable. I have been to this place…read moretwice. Twice we had the beef koobideh and twice we were left unimpressed. The koobideh was more eggy than it was beefy. It almost felt like that there was barely any beef in the koobideh. The second time we also had beef soltany, to give another item a try. This item was alright. You could taste the pomegranate molasses in the soltany. While the flavor was pleasant, I was expecting more char from the kebab (especially from the sugars in the pomegranate molasses) and for the meat to be more tender, after the staff hyped up this particular item. I also don't think that the price of $29 for this item was justified.

This was our second time ordering delivery from Seoul Topokki. We remembered it being really good…read morethe first time, so we went for round two. We ordered the cheese topokki (soft rice cake, fish cake, vegetable, & mozzarella in Korean spicy sauce) & the beef bulgogi bowl (fried marinated beef, vegetables, steamed rice & side of soup). The cheese topokki was just as good as we remembered - chewy, flavorful, comforting, & a little bit weird. The cheese was poorly distributed, but it was still very tasty. The beef bulgogi bowl was really underwhelming. Firstly, it was very little food. We were promised vegetables, but there were only a few scarce onions & zucchini pieces mixed in. It was also dry. It was devoid of moisture & sauce, so we added some from the fridge at home. The side of soup was a joke. It filled only about 2/3 of the container & looked so sad, we wondered if it was the sauce that we we so desperately needed. Nope, just a meager amount of watered down miso soup. So the conclusion - great topokki, sub-par bulgogi, non-existent soup.

The combo kebab platter was very good - juicy kebabs, balanced flavors, and very fresh salad to go with it. I also got a chicken soup (not pictured) that came with bread - very hearty and warming on a cold evening. The rice pudding came as a complimentary item and was delicious - not too sweet, with a puddingy jello-like flavor. The only thing I could have used was some sort of sauce for the kebabs (a chutney or something). I've had the lahmacun before and it's also very good and flavorful. I'll be ordering again the next time I'm in town!

This place is great! In an area that's seemingly a little inconvenient to get to (close to a main…read moreintersection), but it's a great option since I work nearby. When you first walk in, it's a bit quiet and you have to wait for someone to come from the back to greet you, but be patient because once you're seated, service is attentive and available whenever you need it. There are lots of rustic-looking tables, which give it a sort of homey feel, and some tables can fit 12+, so they can definitely accommodate large groups. My colleagues always get something different, but I get the same thing every time: the grilled boneless pork shoulder and it is so good. The pork shoulder is a bit fatty and comes out juicy and flavorful from the grill - droolworthy. It comes with sauerkraut, but it's not your typical sauerkraut; it's more like a mild slaw with just enough acid to cut through the fatty pork. Also comes with your choice of side and sauce. The garlic toom is the only option in my opinion (of course, they have others), but get ready to have kickin' breath for the rest of the day. Others have gotten the lamb tongue, lentil soup, falafel, beef shawarma, borscht, pelmeni, eggplant rolls, and they have all been hits. Don't think I would ever come out of my way to this restaurant if I didn't know about it, but it's totally worth the trip!

Chicken Shawarma Wrap (8/10): Very solid shawarma wrap. Chicken was delicious, and ingredients were very creamy. An amazing post-run meal. Prices are fair. I'll definitely be back to try other things!

I ordered the Qabili entree and a shared a side of the lentils. Both so yummy. The lamb shank was tender, moist, and just perfect. I wish I hadn't ordered the lentils to share, because I could've eaten the plate all on my own. Portion sizes were huge as one entree was enough to have a full meal the next day.

Only reason anyone would know this place exists is either they stumbled on it or someone told them…read moreabout it. It is unassuming and semi-tucked away; you wouldn't actually notice them unless you're actively looking. However, that unassuming feeling disappears once you find yourself inside the establishment. There is this feeling that I cannot explain that sends shivers up my spine. One can't help but feel welcome here. Rose is an amazingly friendly soul that just puts you at ease with the tone of her voice. Even the other customers are friendly with the way they acknowledge you as you walk by towards wherever you're seated. There is happy banter in the air and friends of the establishment would often show up and make themselves immediately at home. You get the point. You're welcome here. But what makes it so special to me now is always the food. And for what they already offer to start, that states quite a bit to what I think of this place. There are many Persian/Middle Eastern fare in this area and most serve the usual so nothing seems to really stand out. That is, at least, until you order their Jujeh Kabob (grilled Cornish hen). Sounds simple, looks simple, but the depth of flavor and the tonguegasmic moments you have partaking of the dish changes their level in the culinary game in the area. It was so good, so so good, I felt completely blown away. I raved about it to Rose, who then told the chef-owner, and then told her I'd be back the next day just to try it again. No way it could be that good I thought. I had to come back again to make sure it was indeed the case (instead of ordering it for "dessert" right in the moment). Well, I showed up at lunch again the next day for exactly the same dish. I just had to. I was hooked. I was made a perma-fan. As I write this, I know I'm about to do what most crazy foodies do as they gain traction in their mind. Get ready and go get some more. Time to wrap this up and head there. See you around some time. Definitely recommend their Jujeh Kabob beyond words.

Another strong showing from Chulo. The daal tadka was a nice contrast with the richness of some of…read morethe other dishes, with lentils and curry leaf adding a nice clearer flavor to the dish. The Goat Kadai was tasty, mixing a bit of tanginess with the tenderness of the meat. There were a few fattier bits that would have been better not being there, but otherwise quite delicious. The whole wheat paratha was a nice alternative to the naan, with its use of whole wheat and crispiness that arises from the texture. The spinach potato (aloo panak) was nice and smooth, with the spinach mixing into the texture of the soft potato very nicely. The mixed vegetable curry contained some cauliflower, peas, and broccoli, and each vegetable maintained crispy integrity. Excellent meal overall!!!
