What an incredible dining experience! I actually didn't discover SEOULZIP Korean Restaurant through…read moreYelp, but thanks to ChatGPT, which recommended this hidden gem! After reading all the outstanding reviews, we knew we had to try it for ourselves. And we are SO glad we did! The five of us were gathering for a very special and meaningful evening to honor and remember our beloved mom/grandma, who recently passed away. Being Korean ourselves, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate her life than by sharing a wonderful Korean meal together. What makes this even more special is the restaurant's name, SEOULZIP (서울집), which translates to "Seoul Home." How fitting that we found ourselves gathered around a table, honoring our mother/grandmother, surrounded by the familiar flavors of our Korean heritage. In many ways, it felt like a little piece of home. Since we were planning to dine at 7 pm on a Saturday evening, I called ahead. Although SEOULZIP has a casual, welcoming atmosphere, the woman who answered recommended making a reservation for our party of five. I'm so thankful we did! When we arrived, our table was ready and waiting for us. The restaurant was bustling with diners, including many Korean families, which immediately gave us a wonderful first impression. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! Oh my goodness! The JapChae was absolutely delicious! The glass noodles were cooked to perfection, with just the right texture, not too chewy or rubbery, and bursting with flavor. The Soft Tofu Soup (soondubu jjigae) did not disappoint! It was rich, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. Although I enjoy spicy food, I'm actually glad I ordered mine mild because it still had just the right amount of heat, allowing me to savor every spoonful. We also ordered Bulgogi and Galbi and while BOTH were delicious, the Galbi seemed to be the crowd favorite! I personally don't eat red meat, but everyone else absolutely loved it!!! The Dolsot Bibimbap was another standout dish, absolutely delicious! And let's not forget the banchan (Korean side dishes)! Everything was fresh and delicious. The traditional kimchi was wonderful, but the kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) was especially outstanding. I could have eaten an entire bowl of it!!! As Koreans who have enjoyed Korean food throughout our lives, we don't say this lightly: All five of us agreed that this was some of the BEST Korean food we've ever had! What made this evening especially memorable was that we were able to honor our mom/ grandma while enjoying the foods and flavors of our Korean heritage. And knowing that SEOULZIP means "Seoul Home" made the experience even more meaningful. Food has such a beautiful way of bringing families together, keeping traditions alive, and reminding us of the people we love. Thank you, SEOULZIP, for such a delicious meal and memorable evening. We will absolutely be back, hopefully very soon! Sharing a photo of our family from this very special evening and video of the food.

Gamsahamnida! Back…read moreagain, and the food and service continue to be great! The chicken katsu is still one of the best I've had--light, crispy, and perfectly crunchy on the outside, with juicy, tender chicken inside. Every visit has been consistently delicious, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I also tried the spicy pork again. It's a bit different from the Korean spicy pork I'm used to. Instead of the pork being marinated so the flavor is deeply infused, it seems to be grilled first and then coated with the sauce. While it's not the traditional style I expected, it's still flavorful and worth trying if you're open to a different take on the dish. In addition the chicken gangjeong dish that requires it to be "deep fried chicken" needs additional time to get crunchy like you would expect. I think the sauce may have made the crunch disappear. The consistency in both the food and the service is what keeps bringing me back. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. Other: -plenty of parking -bathroom inside -on hot days it's a little warm in the restuaruant *local family business*

But…read moreafter eating here, I couldn't help but wonder.. if the food is this good, why not make it available to everyone all the time? My favorite item was the Seoul Gimbap. The rice-to-filling ratio was perfect, and it tasted freshly rolled. If you're looking for Korean drinks, they've got those too, although the open table layout doesn't quite create the cozy pocha atmosphere. Overall, it's a great spot when you're craving a quick Korean fix. I'll definitely be back, mostly for the gimbap.

Everyone I asked said the Galbi short ribs were their favorite. I really liked the quality of their banchan side dishes and the 3 different stews and soups were all very enjoyable. I also liked their saucy Korean fried chicken. The sauce looked dark, but the flavor was fantastic. Not too spicy or overpowering, just a nice complement to the chicken. The one dish I waited until the end to eat was the seafood pancake since I thought it looked bland. I have to take some blame for waiting until it was dead cold to try it, but I tasted bland, as I suspected. (I don't know why in the past I felt this place didn't stand out, but this new experience really changed my mind!)

This is by far the best Korean restaurant that we've tried. Their banchan was okay but not as extensive. We got a refill of it once. I just didn't like that they didn't serve it immediately and served it with food instead so we didn't get an appetizer before our meal. Our server asked if our child wanted to color but apparently they don't have crayons anymore and gave us a colored click pen instead. Well, it's the effort and initiative that count.

My daughter had the OG burger and she thought it was pretty good. It is worth mentioning that some of the other places in the food court are excellent, too, so if you come with friends, everybody can pick what they like and have some pretty good choices. One criticism would be the wood tables and chairs. Tables stripped of varnished and stained fabric chairs.... Not appealing for a relatively new place. Just a bad choice of furniture.

Parking was easy to find, and the restaurant is located in a spacious plaza with plenty of room…read more The restaurant itself was spacious and cozy. It was fairly empty when we went so it felt especially roomy. Service was friendly and quick. We ordered Kimchi Fried Rice, Mulnaengmyeon (cold noodles), Maeun Galbi Jjim (spicy braised beef short ribs), LA Galbi, and Joji Gui (pan-fried yellow croaker). My favorite was the cold noodles! so refreshing and perfect for a lighter dish. The galbi jjim was extremely flavorful. We skipped the cheese since it's an additional $3 and honestly, I don't think we missed it. The LA galbi was a little dry and for $33, I expected the meat quality to be a little better. The kimchi fried rice was tasty but had a little too much butter and cheese for my liking. The pan-fried yellow croaker was good. The banchan were actually a highlight. Everything was really good and the seasoning was on point. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would come back. Next time, I definitely want to try the raw crabs!

The flavor was fine, wasn't extraordinary galbi tang: didn't taste like your typical galbi tang, was very beefy, almost a gamey flavor banchan: ok, the one we really enjoyed was the fish cake service was good, our leftover food was packaged for us

What a great place to eat fantastic Korean food. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and…read moreextremely helpful. We came in and had the lunch which comes with 5 refillable sides. Refillable? Yeah we couldn't believe that either. Ended up having double kimchi and double bean sprouts. Best kimchi I've ever had, not just drenched in spice but actually flavorful. The tofu soup is just incredible.. so savory and warming. Next time I'm tempted to try the army stew. Very reasonable prices too. If you like Asian flavors and you haven't been here yet, get your little self down and enjoy.

This is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food!…read more I always order the beef bibimbap, and the toppings--vegetables, seaweed, and mushrooms--are consistently fresh and delicious. I prefer the regular bowl over the stone pot version because I'm not a fan of crispy rice at the bottom. I also love the sunny-side-up egg on top. I do find it odd that they only serve the stone pot version during dinner so I do avoid dinner service. They have a good variety of banchan to compliment your meal. The kimchi pancake is always a hit and makes a great appetizer for my husband and me. It's very large, so we usually have enough left over to take home. The restaurant is on the pricier side, so I recommend trying their lunch specials. However, I recently learned that the lunch specials aren't available on weekdays when they fall on a holiday--bummer! At the end of each meal, they serve a refreshing iced tea. It looks like they recently switched to a self-service station. Overall, this is a cute little spot with plenty of parking!

They have the most extensive…read morebanchan spread of any Korean restaurant I've been to and each dish I've tried has been delicious: well prepared and utterly delightful in regard to flavor. A few recommendations would be the soft tofu stew with beef, the bossam, the grilled mackerel, the bibimbap, or the galbi. My mom also raves about the rice. In my opinion the rice is good, but it's also just rice. But she would be salty if I didn't mention it - she says it's special. In my opinion, the Sacramento location exceeds the Freeport location in quality, but both are great options. This place is one of those always busy establishments so you really can't go wrong. The service and ambiance are less typical of a western establishment and focus more on efficiency and speed over making sure every guest feels personally seen. Don't be afraid to raise your hand and ask for what you want if they forgot something. Cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for delicious, authentic Korean food.

The restaurant remains true to who it is and doesn't wear a mask, pretending to be someone it isn't. I will say the bathroom needed cleaning. However, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, realizing I went during rush hour on a Saturday night. The menu is straightforward, and the staff are quick to help you. The buffet is a little crowded, but they have many options to choose from. The overall menu and buffet offer a wide variety of options, but they don't contradict each other in a way that makes choosing something to eat challenging. Everything blends well together. Overall, I will go again. The price wasn't bad. We ended up spending $100, including a $20 tip. That covered the endless buffet, the three proteins we chose for hot pot, and three beers. Tip at your own discretion. My wife and I thought our waitress did a decent job.

Very spacious restaurant with tons of tables. The space is a bit bare bones though. I got the combo which was half jjampong and half jajangmyeon. It was basically a full portion of each dish. The size was amazing for the price. The jjampong was packed with seafood, very flavorful and not too spicy. The jajangmyeon really hit the spot, lots of veggies in the sauce. The prawn crackers were a nice bonus and both the kimchi and pickled radish were good. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Price was great and food was even better
