Most importantly, they took the sesame allergy in our party very seriously! Food: I loved the more authentic flavors all around! I'm disappointed by the recent trend towards sweetness in Korean food so I'm really excited to have moved so close to Koreana. The meat was very high quality but I really really liked the tteokbokki and seafood pancake. The pancake was so crispy and fluffy, while the rice cake was nicely spicy and chewy. Service: The staff was super kind and accommodating to our sesame allergy. They were very informative and gave concrete answers on the allergens. They all cooked the meats perfectly! Atmosphere: I think this restaurant has a cozy/homely feel. The decoration is more laid back so it'd be great for a group for a celebration or afternoon drinks. The lunch menu also makes it an affordable lunch stop!

Delicious Korean (barbecue) food where they cook your meat in front of you; quite pricey if you…read morecome hungry though. This is a really nice restaurant area, very spacious and plenty of seating when I came on a weekday evening around 6:30pm with a party of four. I wasn't familiar with their portion sizes but they recommended 3 barbecue meat dishes + 1 additional dish for four people. Given how expensive some of the options are (galbi is around $37!), we opted for two meat options and a soft tofu chigae soup. I appreciated how the staff gave us feedback and recommendations on what to order though! Food: - Galbi: delicious. A smaller portion, definitely not too much meat especially if you have multiple people. I feel like you definitely pay for flavor and quality here instead of quantity but some of the pieces were sinewy and tough. - Spicy bulgogi: my favorite, and a better portion for price. I preferred this to the Galbi! Not too spicy - Soft tofu chigae soup: so spicy but a very cozy feeling. They give you an egg to crack into it. Honestly I liked the flavors so much but this is definitely more of a "treat" of a restaurant since it's hard to do alone (have to order at least two dishes to do the barbecue option) and it's expensive for what it is!

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. Perfectly chewy buckwheat noodles with shredded cucumber and slices of beef/radish. The broth was okay -- not the best I've had for naengmyeon but satisfactory. I paid around $25 with tax and tip, which seemed pricy.

Service: Our waiter was pleasant but with the dining area pretty empty more frequent check-ins would be appreciated. Atmosphere: The interior was clean but I would describe the decor as nondescript Asian. Our primary complaint was definitely a fruit fly that kept buzzing around us. Some fly traps would solve the issue.

Meters don't run past 6pm so I didn't need to pay. At 7pm, the establishment had almost reached capacity, but a few tables remained. I sat down and ordered my go-to, the spicy seafood noodle soup / jjampong ($19.99). Since I last visited, the menu had gotten a revamp. Jjampong now has a dedicated section. A previous iteration of the menu had a regular portion for $17.99 (v-shaped bowl with tapered bottom) and a larger one for $19.99 (deeper round bowl); now only the regular portion is offered at the updated price point. Otherwise, the dish remains unchanged. The sauteed vegetables and seafood carry strong amounts of smoky wok sautee / wok hei, which also permeates the broth. This dish is still a comfort food of mine, but I will reconsider visiting if the price points breaches $20.

The beef tasted good, but the amount served was hard to justify for the price. The japchae and soybean stew were also frustratingly small. The cheese and potato pancake was overly oily, and the japchae leaned a little too sweet. The egg soufflé, tteokbokki, and side dishes were enjoyable, but they weren't enough to make the meal feel worth it. For what this place charges, I expected much more. A nice setting and a few good dishes don't make up for poor value.

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.
