Beef tartare
Aleena G.

Amazing experience here tonight. Hands down one of the best Korean spots I've been to for a girls night! My friend and I had a great time and everything paired perfectly (not too heavy haha) my favorite dishes were the octopus and beef tartare. But all fishes hit the name of quality and flavor. Service was super nice and accommodating and the vibe is so super chill. Highly recommend checking this spot out :)

If you're looking for a great place to catch up with a friend, go on a date, or have great food with a large group, Seoul BAP is the place to be! The atmosphere was very inviting and there was a good amount of space between tables. The food was great - we tried their korean fried chicken, the famous galbi jim, the cast iron bulgolgi, burrata tteokbokki, and black sesame ice cream. The galbi jim was nice and tender and the chimichurri on top added so much flavor and acidity to the meat it was great! The bulgolgi was our ultimate favorite - super tender and soft cooked with caramelized onions. Drinks here were awesome too - we tried their cucumber martini & espresso martini. Overall, a great place to enjoy great food & great company!

I went with a reservation during the week. The food was really delicious especially the pork. The drinks were smooth and nice. I also got the burrata rice cakes which had a great flavor and texture. Service was really friendly. I would go back again.

yellowtail crudo and Crispy Mushrooms

Food was amazing from the yellowtail crudo to the bimimbap with mushrooms - kimchi and mushroom appetizer were so good and not to mention the cocktails were killer! The service was great as well, very attentive and not pushy or rushed at all! Plus, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. my only complaint was the chair I sat in was a little awkward but totally no big deal considering the rest of the experience.

Bibimbap

On a Thursday night, this place was packed! I was able to get a walk up at the bar, but the service was fairly slow as the staff seemed to know/focus on other patrons at the bar. Additionally, there was a film crew that seemed to be wrapping up that preoccupied them. The bartender was still pretty friendly, and I placed both my drink and food order together. What I Ordered: - Midnight Hibiscus - $20: Not just beautiful, but delicious! Very refreshing on a warmer day in August. - Bibimbap (Bulgogi) - $25: Within 20 minutes of ordering, this dish came out hot and fresh. The veggies were delicious, and the bulgogi had good flavor. It tastes like they make their gochujang sauce, and it was okay in terms of flavor. I've preferred other locations back in Arizona for both the gochujang sauce and bibimbap in general as prefer in a hot stone to get crunchier rice. This location is beautiful, but very loud which would deter me from returning as 7:30pm-8pm seems to be a prime time on a Thursday to dine here. The food and cocktail were good, so I'd return if back in NYC for work at hopefully a slower time to avoid the crowd.

I would go back for the sesame ice cream and lychee martinis hehe Staff are pretty friendly And the vibe is underground but cool Can use some more cleaning in bathrooms

Had dinner at Seoul Bap with some friends. The food isn't quite the traditional Korean style--it feels more like Korean flavors presented with a modern twist, and most of the dishes are great for sharing. The Beef Tartare was tender with a nice Korean-style seasoning and a touch of sweetness from the pear. The Spanish Octopus was pleasantly tender and chewy with well-balanced seasoning; this was one of my favorites. The Bossam had a nice balance of meat and fat, and wrapping it with the pickled radish and sauce made each bite really enjoyable. The Bulgogi was flavorful and came with mushrooms and caramelized onions, making it a comforting dish overall. The Sliders were fun to share while chatting, and the Sesame Ice Cream had a noticeable roasted sesame flavor. We also tried the Korean Pear, which is actually a pear liqueur--light, sweet, and not too strong. Overall, Seoul Bap has a nice mix of familiar Korean flavors and a more modern presentation. It's a relaxed spot for dinner with friends and sharing a few different dishes.

The service was great and the food was just as yummy. This place is perfect for dates and even as groups.

Crispy Mushrooms

Seoul BAP is SO swanky! I loved getting dressed up to come here, though I went with a partner that's vegetarian, so I didn't try any of their meat dishes. I would come back just for that, which would likely bump this up to a 5 star experience. Instead, we shared the Mushroom Bibimbap, Crispy Mushrooms, and Burrata Tteokbokki. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The food, drink, and space photographs on their website are incredibly enticing. Anyways, I paired all that food with an Espresso Martini which was good too. Wish I would have tried a few more of their cocktails because that was my favorite menu to look at. I'd love to sit at their bar next time and hang out for longer, but we had to make it to a musical. Definitely make a reservation and visit Seoul BAP!

Came here for dinner with friends for the first time. Great range of options in both food and drinks, catering for most people. Service was top notch and food was tasty. The Korean fried chicken appetizer was great and throughly enjoyed. Lychee martini was also very tasty. Bonus point - activated the Seated reward app and got 17% back.

Seoul Bap is a vibey Korean gastropub located in NoMad. It was packed with diners even on a weekday night. As for food, we ordered a lot: The Seoulful Tartare was a great start: light, fresh, and well balanced, with crispy nori and radish adding texture against the beef. The Spanish Octopus was one of their daily specials and one of my favorites of the meal. The octopus was cooked perfectly, tender with a good sear, and the sweet potato puree underneath tied the whole dish together. Japchae with Bulgogi was generous in portion and packed with flavor, glass noodles soaking up all that savory sauce alongside well marinated beef. Galbi Jjim was another highlight for me. The meat was tender and rich, falling right off the bone, and I'm again a big fan of their purees and braised veggies on the side. Great spot for a mix of comforting and elevated Korean dishes. Would come back!

cheese corn

My experience at Seoul BAP left a lot to be desired. For starters, I don't appreciate the stealth pricing on their cocktail menu. At the top, cocktails are listed at $18 each, but then if you look at each line item, practically every drink has (+$1) or (+2) next to it. Why not just list individual prices, because each drink is not actually $18 each. We ordered a medley of food, from cheese corn, to prawns with scallion salad, crispy mushrooms, and japchae. The dishes all felt like they hit the same note: fried. We ordered the crispy mushrooms which just tasted like batter, and I was disappointed to find the mushrooms in the japchae in the exact same preparation, which was just deep fried. This was not noted on the menu and I wish our server had explained this to us, because our order felt redundant. The prawns with scallion salad was confusingly named, because there was no discernable salad to be found. There was one charred piece of scallion that looked more like decoration than an actual part of the dish, and the prawns were just breaded and fried. Corn cheese is corn cheese and tasted okay. We also ordered the rose pasta but it never came. Seoul BAP looked promising on the surface but did not deliver on flavor or experience.

Really enjoyed our experience here! SeoulBAP does a great job introducing a fun twist on Korean food. Their galbi jjim is a standout and a must-try here -- so flavorful, tender and fragrant. We also ordered the hamachi carpaccio and Seoulful tartare, both of which were fresh and beautifully presented. The cocktails were also a highlight for us. Really loved the Korean pear cocktail -- so unique, light and delicious. The interior is modern, clean and intimate and the staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely love to come back and try more items on the menu!

Is it kid friendly?

The staff is very friendly, but it's definitely not a place to bring small kids. Adolescents would be fine, but anyone younger should stay at home

Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

However we were not rushed and were able to linger a bit to finish our conversation.
