The staff even seemed surprised when I said thank you and commented that the food was delicious. The banchan that came with the meal was sadly mediocre. The naengmyeon itself was delicious.

The portions were good, and every dish was tasty. The chicken bulgogi had a very flavorful sauce. The noodles in the japchae were chewy, and the texture was great. The kimchi fried rice had a tart, tangy taste. We had plenty left over to bring home. My one suggestion to the staff would be to offer protein substitutions ie a lot of the dishes have pork and you can take it out but there is option to simply substitute the pork for say tofu or egg or even chicken. The ambience of the restaurant is also very airy and sunny and bright. And they have plenty of seating. Would highly recommend!

We had an option of a high top table or the bar, and went with the table with end. The ban chan was a standout. We had the spinach (?), burdoock, and kimchi. You could definitely tell that everything was fresh, nothing store bought that had been sitting around for a couple days or was simply heated up--which is my experience elsewhere for appetizers in china town area. The mackerel was very substantive, and well cooked. I was less of a fan of the jap chae, a little too oily for me.

While I appreciated small touches with being able to put your jackets in a plastic bag under your seat, everything else fell a bit short. The quality of the meats and produce was a bit disappointing. The onion our server used to flavor and start our grill with looked dry, the pumpkin seemed to have a bit of frost as though it were frozen, and the overall quality of the meat was a bit lackluster. Even towards the end of our meal, even when our server told us the meat was ready, a couple of pieces were still raw. The banchan was not bad and the bibim naengmyeon we had was probably the best part of our meal. Sadly I don't think we'll be back based on our experience.

The restaurant focuses mostly on soba or udon noodle dishes with a good selection between hot and cold options. It's not going to be the best udon or soba you've ever had. HOWEVER, I tried the cold ikura & uni cold soba and LOVED it. It's seasonal, so I tried that one out and was extremely surprised about how much I enjoyed the bowl. Not too much soup and the uni didn't completely obliterate when I stirred it up. They do use American wasabi though, and I found it superfluous to the dish and wished it was served on the side. But regardless, despite not having some extremely high quality noodles, the flavor and experience of the bowl itself was super pleasant. I ended up coming back the very next day because I wanted to try their clam soba. The clam soba only comes hot, which is a bit unfortunately because I actually think a cold clam soba with some lemon or yuzu would be phenomenol. I've been seeing recipes for it online so I've been wanting to try it, but their clam soba is a lot more standard and hot. They had a very good amount of clams in it, but I generally like their cold soba better. Still good, but didn't give me that feeling of needing to come back the very next day like I did with the ikura-uni combo. Overall, I'd still come back when I'm in downtown!

The food came out pretty quickly, and for banchan they only give you regular kimchi and kkakdugi, which were both rather mediocre, but at least the kkakdugi was crunchy. The gukbap was not bad, and comes with the salted shrimp and chili paste seasoning, which you can add to taste. They are generous with good cuts of pork and it doesn't taste gamey. I don't like that they put some sort of peppercorn in the soup--unsure if it can be served without this. My husband got the kimchi jigae, which only comes in a serving size for 2-3 people, which was actually huge with so much pork in it! This was a little on the more sour side, but pretty good. We left with plenty of leftovers, and I would come back to satisfy a craving.

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.
