This is only the second soondae restaurant I've visited in the U.S., but my Korean…read moresister-in-law--who lived in Korea for more than 25 years and has eaten at many soondae restaurants--was genuinely impressed. That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

this may have been the best short rib of my life,,,thank god you have another location,,,san diego…read morewill be seeing me when we ordered, i thought things were a bit expensive. however when the dish came out, i realized it had MASSSSSSSIVEEE chunks of meat on even larger bones. the sauce was sweet, not to an unbalanced profile, but it complemented the spice and savoriness of the meat. i floated after the first bite wow it was really tender as well. i appreciate the tongs, scissors, and glove that the gave us too! it helped with eating the whole thing. i kid you not this was some of the best banchan ive had too. the kimchi had a great slight fishiness, not too tart which is perfect for me. both the radish and kimchi had the freshest crunch that is sometimes hard to come by. usually i'm used to more variety but the flavors and textures of these two. the spicy brisket stew was delicious!! reminded me of mama instant noodle taste which i love. i wish there were more glass noodles but there was soooooo much brisket that substituted my craving well. the tteokbokki was probably the most underwhelming dish. i think for $10, the portion is tiny and the sauce is just mild and a big thinner than im used to. the tteok itself was a good texture, but the short rib dish had tteok too which was swimming in that heavenly sauce. we just ended up mixing the tteok and short rib dish to create the best of both worlds. i love how they package their to go containers too - airtight fast service and kind owners

It's def a more modern Korean restaurant from the interior alone. But food was delicious. I was interested in a lot of items on the menu u so it was hard to choose from. The dakgalbi lunch special was an actual full on lunch with sides and soup. The galbi tang was pretty good. The meat is some of the best I've had in CO. It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.

The sides are wonderful as well. The service is as good as the food. The staff is so friendly and kind here, that alone makes me want to go back - not only that but the inside feels like you're actually in South Korea. It feels very authentic and nice. The decor is great and you just feel so welcome here. We'll be back for sure.

However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

We sat at a semi private table and we were immediately given a pitcher of ice cold water. I was very excited to try the tofu here! We ordered the tofu karaage which was deliciously crunchy and came with a really good sweet sauce. Next came out the banchan which were plentiful (see pic). I was starting to get pretty full at this point! I ordered the tofu kimchi stir fry with pork and it was really good and just the right level of spice. The portion was HUGE. I brought half home. It also came with the choice of white or purple rice. My husband got bibimbap and it came out piping out. He cleared the plate. Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Prices were very good for all the food we got. I can't wait to go back!

I definitely enjoyed my tofu stew, the tofu was so silky I almost bought some to take home (but couldn't because it needed refrigeration and we weren't heading home right away on that hot day) I also absolutely adored the potato pancake, something I've never had and thought the flavor and texture is so much better than the seafood pancake usually eaten at K-bbq. Gotta love the starch!! Friends ordered grilled meats and I snuck a tiny bit to taste (since I can't handle their level of spiciness! ) they were delicious. The grilled meats and potato pancake go surprisingly well with the purple rice which might have ended up being my most favorite side dish! The grilled fish was ok. I've had better. But all the little appetizing dishes accustomed to Korean cuisine were fantastic! Will definitely come back!

We waited probably about 15 mins to get seated and then it took about another 20 to order and get our food. We got a beef tofu stew (not picture) $17 and a beef hot stone bibimbap $19. We each got our own side dish with 4 side dishes. There was cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and a soy braised potato with fish cakes. I love a good hot stone bibimbap because of the crispy rice and this was CRISPY. I loved it. The side dishes were the perfect compliment to the dishes too. I will say my only complaint is the beef wasn't as flavorful as some other places but with how much food they're cranking out with only 2 people, they're doing a pretty great job. Despite all the people coming in and the people eating, the lady in the front was still happy and let people know there would be at least a 30 min wait to get seated. Overall, I would probably go here again if I was in the area and wanted a got stone bibimbap and didn't mind a wait but its definitely not a place to go if you're starving due to the potentially long waits.

Specifically the kimchi pancake, which was crispy and so savory! It's one of the best I've ever had! Their skewers were marinated in a delicous salty sauce and the little mechanism at the table that rotates and grills them for you is genius. Having fresh grilled skewers tableside is next level. Koreans really know how to enjoy eating their food! We also got the wings, which were good but not the best on Havana street, but there is stiff competition there. The mussel soup though was a surprise. The mussels tasted clean and fresh and the broth was light with a spicy kick and super refreshing. Gonna come back just for that when it gets cold! Overall the service was decent. They were nice enough to my crazy crew. The ambience is really fun and chill and would be a great late night hangout or hangover destination. Definitely coming back to try some more!

After I was sad I noticed they had a iPad so I can look through their menu options, the only thing was the iPad didn't provide me with any descriptions of what the menu options entailed. I had to pretty much figure it out for myself. There was no one around to ask, everyone was in the back so after sitting around for awhile, I deleted the items I was unsure of and stuck with what I was sure I wanted. The steamed egg was cooked amazing and the kimchi pancake was almost perfect. The taste was great but the center was a little softer than I liked. The edges were perfect. I finished my food and waited yet again for my server only to be told I had to come to the front counter to checkout. The guy was friendly I just wish they had these instructions written down so people would know. Since this was my first time I was a lost lamb. I will say however, it was happy hour so I got 10% off everything I ordered so that was nice. I can't say for sure if I'd come back. The food was okay the service definitely lacked, while they were nice they were MIA quite a bit.

Seoul Korean Hot Pot & BBQ is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a hot pot fan…read more The Korean BBQ menu has some fantastic options and the quality is excellent, but it's a bit on the pricey side since it's not all-you-can-eat.

The setup is great, the vegetables are fresh, there are plenty of options to choose from, and it's an excellent value for what you get.

Went at night after work for an early dinner, got there around 5:45pm or so. Not very busy which is nice and the restaurant is clean. There is only one aunty that was working and she was very nice. I like trying different places for their soondaeguk to see what kind of soondae they use. Of course this restaurant isn't know for soondae so it's the frozen ones that comes with the soup. Overall the food wasn't bad but the soup was missing a little something but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was. Maybe the bone broth didn't have a deeper flavor that I was looking for. I will definitely come back to try other items as well if I am visiting Colorado again!
