Delicious choices, cute little restaurant with a nice vibe. I asked for recommendations before orderingand the server was great. Offering descriptions and sharing his faves. The Korean fried chicken was crispy and sweet but could have used a tad bit more heat. The Bulgogi was seasoned nicely, veggies crisp and rice was fluffy read more

Ordered takeout after a long day chicken was crispy saucy and packed with flavor portion was solid definitely comfort food level

Food was amazing ! And good portions too ! Every single item in the box had so much flavor in it ! We don't live too close but we will definitely be going back ! Can't wait to have our older kids try it read more

In OC its safe to say that there is no shortage of Korean restaurants of different variety - and I have tried many. I come to the Carson area often and was honestly surprised to see a Korean kimbap/comfort food spot. My wife placed a pick-up order of the meat kimbap ( like a sushi roll for people who don't like fish) and the Hotteok (a thin pancake stuufed with cinnamon and walnuts) for the ride home. The rice and meat in the kimbap were cooked to perfection, and overall well seasoned and balanced with the added. vegetables. This sounds basic but often I find some/many places offer kimbap that is either not fresh, or overcooked and in need of some sort of dipping sauce to fully enjoy. Do not overlook the Hotteok which to me seems like a Korean version of baklava, but with it own unique profile. I'm not a dessert person but my wife has a sweet tooth and it was the perfect level of natural sweetness and its portion size is perfect for sharing. I always notice that a good eating spot, whether its an expensive restaurant or a casual dining place in a strip mall, does the small things right - it shows attention to detail. In a sea of " sameness" I hope this place receives the support that it deserves and we forward to trying the rest of the menu. read more

Seoul Bap is a breath of fresh air in Carson! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. My bf and I ordered the Spicy Bulgogi Bowl, the regular Bulgogi Bowl, and the Korean Fried Chicken in Half Sweet & Spicy and Half Soy Garlic. When I first got my bowl I couldn't help but admire how beautiful it looked. It was vey colorful and vibrant and it smelled amazing! The bulgogi was perfectly cooked--like it was fresh off a KBBQ grill which I loved. The bowl comes with sides of pickled onion, crisp seasoned broccoli, and my absolute favorite side that IMO really elevated the dish--grilled kimchi! Even tho I was full I couldn't help but continue eating because each bite was so different depending on what side you ate it with. The Korean Fried Chicken was also a banger, unlike other places I've tried they had a thinner batter which meant you got more of the delicious chicken taste and they top it with green onion strips and pumpkin seeds which again gave an amazing texture as you ate the chicken. The last thing I need to mention is their green cilantro sauce! It came with the bowl but holy cow it was so good we ended up putting it on everything! Definitely hope they bottle it soon so I can take it home *fingers crossed* Needless to say the whole experience was a 10/10 and we can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu! read more

Updating review per owner's response - I appreciate the understanding and offer. I would love to try again when my husband and I are in the area. To clear any assumptions, no - the experience of waiting at least 40 minutes was not during the chicken wings special. There were no specials or promos going on at the time in the restaurant. I just had a disappointing wait for my visit! Appreciate the owner hearing and understanding this. I hope to try another bowl and continue having experiences at this spot when we're back in Carson. read more

I had a bulgogi bowl & kimbap. The bowl was put together with a lot of thought! The bowl variety was good and the taste/variety balance was really good as well. Kimbabp was really good and the ingredients to rice ratio was very nice. One thing I'd like to point out it the rice. It was cooked exactly how I like it!(I don't like my rice cooked too much where it becomes too sticky). read more

Seoul Bap popped up on my yelp. I saw that it opened 3 weeks ago so I decided to check it out. Food: 5/5 I tried the spicy pork and the flavor were authentic and on point. There aren't too many authentic Korean Rice Bowls around and i was glad they nailed it. Very yummy. Spicy and savory. Service: 5/5 I spoke to the cashier who was very friendly and answered all my questions. No complaints from me. Ambience: 5/5 It's more of a casual dining type place. Almost a "quick stop" type feel. There are dine-in table however. Check this place out. I will try the beef bowl next time ^__^ read more

I just moved to the area. This is the first place I decided to try and let me tell you, I will be back! The food and customer service were amazing! I tried the spicy pork bulgogi with purple rice-- SO GOOD! The green sauce on the side was great- definitely ask for an extra too good to only have one! I also loved the peaceful vibes in the whole place. It was the perfect way to spend my lunch read more

Seoul Bap - Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bowl with purple rice and a fried egg :) - Korean Near Me - Carson, California

Seoul Bap has really good food--I'm a big fan of their Spicy Pork and Beef Bulgogi. Both are flavorful and satisfying. The Pork Belly, however, felt a bit plain in comparison. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of a small hiccup I had when I called in a lunch order. I asked if they could make the Spicy Pork crispy--something I figured could be done quickly on a griddle--but was told they couldn't because all their food is pre-made. Honestly, I was a little surprised. It tastes fresh and delicious, so I didn't expect it to be pre-made! I haven't been back since that call, but I do hope to return soon. If they could crisp up the Spicy Pork a bit, I think their bowls would go from great to amazing. Just my opinion, of course! read more

Don't feel worried by the small amount of reviews. This place opened up in January. I feel like Korean food is usually expensive, but the price for this place is fair. FOOD IS DELICIOUS! I got my food to go, so the customer service experience was small but good. Will come again! read more

Good price, good service, good menus, good foods Healthier than any other fast foods. If you love korean food, must try!! read more

Dropped by after church today. Impressed by how clean the place is and how friendly the staff was, shoutout to Jenn (I think that's her name). I normally go to this plaza for the seafood spot next door, but adding this place to my list of spots. Bulgogi was nice as not too fatty and the rice and veggies are fresh. Not a lot of fresh Korean food spots in Carson, which IMO makes this a must try spot! read more

The staff was amazing and very helpful there they quickly put together a table for 10 as a walk-in and we really appreciated that. We enjoyed the food. Our favorite was the chow mein. We also had the salt and pepper squid, the orange chicken, the beef soup, the combo dumplings, the ginger, fish, the walnut shrimp, and lastly, the banana fritter ice cream dessert that they have. To us the orange chicken was a bit too sweet, but everything else was to satisfaction. We did enjoy the dessert and it is such a nice clean atmosphere. There was a nice vibe, but it wasn't too loud so we could talk overall definitely a great place for a night out or even a birthday celebration which we were doing. I highly recommend! read more

Advertised combo won't exchange fries with rice. And I like my rice. I don't see why it's difficult to substitute it. I ended up paying more for the bulgogi since I already invested my time to come here doing my lunch. read more

Food and service was great! The lady who took my order was super friendly and attentive

Ordered takeout - food was fresh, delicious, AND healthy. Got the Bulgogi bowl, it had a healthy amount of veggies and meat, and flavor was well balanced too. Can't wait to try a different bowl when I come back. read more

Ordered a spicy pork bowl and a beef bulgogi bowl. Portion was huge and service was pretty quick. The pork was a bit fatty, but super flavorful - and spicy! I wish there were more veggies on top (there were maybe 2 pieces of broccoli). Overall, a solid meal option if you're in the area. read more

The food here was amazing - great quality overall and worth the price. I'd say it's about average - if not a little cheaper than a lot of other Korean / bibimbap / kimbap restaurants. The person at the counter was absolutely kind and incredibly helpful - I always appreciate a friendly person working the counter regardless of how big/small a business is. The store itself is a small but can seat a decent amount of people. The plants and murals truly add to the experience/ambience. Overall I highly recommend Seoul Bap! It's worth the visit read more

After a lil hesitation, I decided to come in around 7:30pm for a quick dinner to-go. Lots of restaurants, IMO, tend to decline in quality and taste towards the end of the day... especially if it's 30 min before closing. Well, I'm glad to report that Seoul Bap is NOT one of those restaurants. The menu is simple yet it was still so hard for me to decide... everything looked and sounded delicious. I ended up with the beef bulgogi bowl which came with kimchi, broccoli and pickled veggies. It also came with some sort of green sauce. Personally, the bowl was already good without it but the sauce kicked it up a notch. I inhaled the whole bowl!! It was the perfect amount of food and next time, if I'm really hungry, I'll opt for one of their lunch boxes. Love that we don't have to drive outside of Carson to enjoy some Korean comfort food. I'll be back to try everything else! read more

I live in a city where Korean restaurants are all over and this place in Carson serve good food! Galbi is really good and the soy garlic fried chicken tastes really really good! my kids love it! The cashier is nice too and helpful. read more

Love this place! I got the spicy pork bowl this time but I have also tried the fried chicken, ddukbokki, and few other bowls. Everything is delicious and tastes super fresh. Def will come back when I'm in the area. Decor is cute & the staff is friendly 10/10 read more

Good Food, Good Vibes, Good Service and family friendly. I would certainly come back again.

Came here for lunch with a friend. The restaurant itself is quite small but service is fine and the wait wasn't too bad. The layout and furniture remind me of a boba shop. The food came out piping hot and the taste was very good. The fried chicken was decent, the tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice were spicy sour but it was good. More of a quick dine and dash/takeout place so if you want some quick Korean fried chicken to go this is the place to order from. read more

One of my favorite things to eat are rice bowls. No matter the type of cuisine, rice makes me feel happy and complete. When I found Seoul Bap on Yelp, I was thrilled because I love Korean food and especially Korean barbecue. They have your favorite Korean BBQ meats (beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, pork belly, spicy chicken) in a beautifully garnished and well balanced bowl. The bowls come with your choice of meat (or tofu), steamed broccoli, kimchi, & pickled onion/radish/carrot/jalapeño, over steamed white rice. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi which I really enjoyed- such a nice sweet and spicy kick. For more heat, I added the creamy green sauce they added to my order. I also tried the half soy garlic and half sweet & spicy boneless Korean fried chicken which was SO delish. The flavors were so good. I ordered my meal through Yelp for pick up. My meal was ready exactly on time and staff were very friendly and welcoming during the pick up. Interior is small and simple but has a good amount of seating for dining in. I also noticed some catchy K-Pop music on the TV which was fun. I'm looking forward to my next visit and trying a different bowl! Highly recommend! read more

I've lived in Carson my whole life and never expected to be close to good Korean food, but I can finally say it is here! I went to Seoul Bap for the first time today and when I walked in to pick up the order, a lady sitting at a table with two others immediately got up and asked how she can help me. As someone that values good service, that spoke volumes to me that she would get up mid conversation for a customer. I talked to her and she was very nice and shook my hand! Now for the food. My wife and I ordered the bulgogi bowl, spicy pork bowl, and the soy garlic chicken. It was VERY affordable at about $36 for all that and VERY tasteful. It's a full on bowl and had great flavors. I would definitely go back and get the spicy pork bowl and the chicken again. I don't know many Korean restaurants with such affordable fried chicken and such a good serving size! Needless to say, we will be back for more. Thank you, Chewy! Praying for more years with Seoul Bap in Carson and much more success!! read more
