Service was excellent even when they got busier later on. Prices were reasonable. We ordered the cheesecorn, bulgogi fries, and pork katsu. They were all good.

As we walked out the door, one of the staff gave us a plushie that was their promo.

Asked for a to-go stir-fry gizzard, on the tender side, for my long commute today. Server was accommodating. Well-plated, definitely spiced/seasoned with a little spite and hate, more-so than previous visits. Painful but solid. IMO the best foods are cooked with love or hate. Personally prefer the former. Will someday drop by again, when I feel like hurting myself a bit. Thank you for the rice, definitely needed it.

I've been eating at Seoul Haus for quite some time, but I felt compelled to write an updated review…read morebecause my recent experience was honestly a major letdown. I noticed that the service has become absolutely terrible; the staff didn't even bother to bring out basic essentials like bowls or napkins, making it feel like the restaurant has pivoted to a self-serve model without actually telling anyone. I was also disappointed to see that the menu has changed significantly, and I found the portion sizes to be much smaller than they used to be despite the prices staying high. I'm not sure if the ownership changed recently or what happened behind the scenes, but I can definitely say the quality and experience have gone really downhill since the changes took effect. It's a shame because this used to be a favorite of mine, but after this visit, I'm not sure I'll be returning.

The place has a really homey, mom-and-pop feel to it, which I loved right away. I had to try their soondubu and got the intestine version since that's one of my favorites and honestly hard to find around here. Super happy to see it on the menu! The soup came out blazing hot and packed with flavor exactly how it should be. The banchan was AMAZING too, and they were very generous with the portions. I also love that they serve purple rice in a stone pot, which is always a huge plus for me. The ladies serving us were so sweet and friendly and made the experience even better. There's also plenty of seating, which is nice. My only tiny note is that the dining room was REALLY quiet lol. Maybe some background music would help the atmosphere a little, especially when there aren't many people dining in. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something I noticed. Overall though, fantastic food, warm service, and comforting vibes. We'll definitely be frequenting this place from now on!

It has been a while since our first attempt here quite a few years ago. We didn't come back due to…read morehow my daughters and I were treated back then. I still remember the waitress's face. I don't see her anymore. I can honestly say it is a complete 180 degrees! The service has been wonderful! This is our 3rd time since. Each time the food has been amazing and the service is consistently good to very good. The store is tucked away in a shopping center full of lil stores and restaurants. Parking is okay but there are some days you will need to drive around for a bit. Usually, there is at least a 30-45 minute wait to be seated, but we lucked out this chilly Monday night. Still crowded though! The restaurant is quaint. Nothing spectacular but clean. Seating is not too close to others. The service has been consistently good to very good. Friendly and quick. If you do need additional items, you will need to waive someone down. The food comes out hot and fresh! Seafood tofu: Sizzling hot. Great flavor. Nice amount of umami and spice. Filled with tofu. Wish there were a bit more seafood. At least clams. Galbi: Excellent balance of flavor! Not drenched in sauce and very tender. Would be great if the bed of onions were cooked a bit more! Great condiment with the rice. Japchae: Was a lil overcooked but tastes great. Wished there was more meat. Bibmibap is always a winner. Great texture and fresh tasting. Sauce has a perfect amount of kick and mixture of spice and sweet. Spicy cold noodle odke. Huge! Fresh veggies and the buckwheat noodles were cooked perfectly! Condiments and rice were spot on! So happy we came back.

ACORN JELLY FTW!!! I…read morelove this restaurant! It's clean, great service, DELICIOUS authentic Korean dishes and prices are good too. Lunch time it gets packed w/ ajumas in cute golf gear so get there early lol. Acorn Jelly Soup is a sweet, cold refreshing dish that is hard to find. My mom used to make it for me and I've never had it at a restaurant before as a full entree! Try it! Jjol Myun is a cold spicy chewy thick noodle dish with shredded red cabbage and you mix it up with your hands (gloves provided). So good! Their Kim Bap is always yum and their wasabi dipping sauce clears your sinuses in a good way! Spicy rice cake is also yummy and it's nice and thick. Come here with friends so you can order many dishes to share.

The entrees include a small side salad and…read morefried fish, and you get your standard assorted banchan side dishes (kimchi, cucumber, glass noodles, bean sprouts, tofu skin, mac salad). The fried fish is fresh out of the fryer, and the side salad has a refreshing crunch. Their kimchi isn't as salty as some of the Korean restaurants in the area, which I prefer, and the rest of the banchan is good. Soup is delicious and the tofu is soft, they don't skimp on the seafood ingredients (good sized shrimp and multiple mussel pieces). Price $$ - Price is fair for the portions that were served. Banchan refills are bigger after they first serve to you. Service 5/5 - Service is good, they refilled our banchan side dishes and our water pitcher without us having to flag them down, and checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything tasted good. Ambiance 4/5 - Interior is good with Korean themed decor. Look closer at the lower walls and you'll see Korean script characters. Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.

The people that work here are friendly and genuinely nice, So why only three stars? The portion sizes for the same dish vary drastically depending on your visit. I ordered the lunch kalbi ribs special a few weeks back and I was given a generous portion of ribs. I came back last week and was given only four ribs. I was so hungry afterwards, I had to stop off at Taco Bell and get two taco supremes. The same thing happened to my mom. Her seafood portion on the tofu hot pot varied drastically as well on her subsequent visits. Not sure how they are coordinating with their kitchen, but something is amiss. Hopefully they can get this ironed out.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and their service was fast and we were taken care of right away. Prices are reasonable and we were able to share a combo and one grilled meat for a party of three. We got galbi combo with kimchi beef soup and grilled pork belly. Everything was so flavorful and their banchan were delicious and tasted fresh. The meat on the galbi was my favorite part--they were not stingy at all! Will come back when I'm craving a good, hearty, Korean meal.

We ordered the jjajangmyeon, braised spicy beef back ribs, and fried dumplings, and everything hit the mark. We asked for the beef to be made mild, and the heat level was perfect -- still flavorful with just enough kick without overpowering the dish. The server laughed and mentioned it might be too much food for two, but clearly they underestimated our commitment to both dinner and leftovers. The banchan was also a nice touch, and the potatoes and seaweed were standouts for me. Overall, a really satisfying meal with generous portions, solid flavor, and a welcoming neighborhood feel. Definitely a spot we'd return to.

I went with two classics I always judge a Korean kitchen by: mul naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) and the short rib combo. The naengmyeon arrived beautifully chilled, the broth icy and clean with a balanced tang and subtle heat that didn't overpower. The noodles had that perfect chewy elasticity -- exactly what you want. Refreshing, sharp, and deeply comforting all at once. The short ribs were served sizzling on a hot plate, caramelized at the edges with a savory-sweet marinade that penetrated the meat. Tender without being overly fatty, and paired perfectly with the multigrain rice. Each bite had that smoky depth you hope for in a well-executed galbi. The banchan spread was fresh and thoughtfully prepared -- bright kimchi, seasoned greens, and small sides that complemented rather than distracted. Nothing felt rushed or careless. Service was warm and efficient, and the overall experience felt polished yet comforting -- the kind of place that satisfies both cravings and standards. Safe to say I'll be back to work my way through more of the menu.

We visited on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't really that busy. A few more parties coming in after…read more6pm! Restaurant is also very spacious. I like how the servers here are older Korean ladies, so it feels more welcoming and authentic here. We ordered Yuk Gae Jang, Dumpling Soup, and the Octopus Bibimbap around. Portion sizes are actually pretty big. The prices here are also a lot higher than many tofu houses I've seen, probably because they give a lot more for a dish? I mainly had the dumpling soup and it was pretty good! I was getting mildly sick, so this was quite soothing for throat. Dumplings were also pretty huge, and pretty good! Although, I wish it came with noodles like the Yuk Gae Jang. I did like how there were pieces of beef in mines. The octopus bibimbap was also pretty good, the octopus sizes are thick! The banchan was also pretty fresh. Overall, food and service were all pretty good. Prices are still kinda high for what it is, but pretty legit Korean food in the Chino Hills area.

They have a great selection of meats at reasonable prices. There are two tiers: King and Prince. We usually opt for Prince because we always order their beef brisket and beef belly. We also love their banchan. Our favorites are radish and rice paper, kimchi, steamed egg, glass noodles, corn cheese, garlic and jalapeño, and spicy tofu soup. On our recent visit, we noticed a tablet at our booth. Don't try removing it. It needs to stay attached to the stand to keep its charge. I like using the tablet in general because it eliminates the possibility of missing orders. The time it takes to place the orders and when we receive them is very minimal. The quality has been consistent and the service is always the good. Thanks, Wang Cho, for always delivering! See you on our next visit!

The atmosphere used to feel so much nicer, the service was personal, and even the patio made it a great place to hang out with friends and family. Now it feels like management is focused on cheap food and cutting labor costs with all the tablets and kiosks, which just makes ordering awkward and less convenient. Everything feels more disorganized and less personal than it used to. I used to recommend this place all the time, but over the years I've watched it slowly go downhill. Really sad because it just doesn't have the same vibe or experience anymore.
