Great food, service, and ambiance! Enjoyed my dinner here. My favorites were the fried chicken and the japchae!

Such a great neighborhood gem in NoMad! Seoul Bap puts a fun, creative twist on Korean comfort food, and everything we tried was delicious. My personal favorite was the K-Beef Tartare! The combination of tender beef, crispy seaweed, and Korean pear was incredible. The Korean Fried Chicken was perfectly crispy, and I loved the refreshing yuzu sauce. The Burrata Tteokbokki was another standout, with perfectly chewy rice cakes and a creamy twist. And the Galbi Jjim was incredibly tender with a unique chimichurri finish! Loved the cozy atmosphere and the creativity behind each dish. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for a casual dinner with friends or date night. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

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 :) read more

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! read more

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. read more

Seoul BAP - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

The place was beautifully decorated inside and everything definitely looked high end! For starters we got the usually Korean fried chicken. The dipping sauce was good but there wasn't anything special about it. The burrata tteokkboki and spicy pork and octopus was amazing, as well as the burrata teokkboki as they were both cooked to perfection! We ordered bulgogi as a comfort meal, but it was alright, wouldn't order again. read more

This space was designed really well. Very moody and really nice bathrooms. The staff were very attentive and that really contributed to the elevation of the overall experience. The way our cocktails and food were presented was with intention which, I guess, justifies the slightly higher price point.   While I was a fan of the service and ambiance, I cannot say I was wowed by the food. I had little nibbles of the tteokbokki, fried chicken and vegetable dumplings from the rest of my party and while they were tasty, they weren't as mouthwatering as I may have expected. Personally, I ordered their spicy baby octopus and dubu pork which (including the leftovers I had) starts off really tasty but after a while the monotony is slightly off-putting. I would recommend other dishes before that one, personally. We ended our meal with the mango cake, which was light and not too sweet!   While there is a lot to desire about Seoul BAP, I did unfortunately find the food to be a little lackluster at times. I hope they can continue to workshop and evolve their menu because I do think they have the bones to be a go to Korean food destination in the city. read more

Visited here with a friend for drinks and apps and had a fabulous time! I started off with the Korean pear mocktail which was so fresh and balanced - not too sweet, and presentation was immaculate. We ordered some apps to share - crispy mushrooms, fried chicken, yellowtail crudo, and the watermelon salad, and each bite was better than the last! Everything was prepared so thoughtfully, flavours blended so well, and honestly my biggest regret is not staying for dinner. I'll definitely be back to try some of their mains! This place lives up to the hype! Plus points for a gorgeous and clean bathroom! read more

Overall: 4 stars Vibrant Korean restaurant just a few streets below Koreatown proper with a fascinating bar menu and comfort Korean classics. The food was overall positive sentiment and the staff are pleasantly attentive. Unimami Bibimbap - Beautiful sea urchin rice bowl for $38. The uni is relatively sweet and not metallic, and pairs well with the abundance of flavor boosting garnish from the minty perilla to the pickled radish. The quinoa adds a delicious crispiness and the rice bowl is surprisingly filling.

Everything was so delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. My favorite dish was the bossam - the meat was so tender, and I was actually craving this dish before I came here. I also enjoyed the burrata tteokbokki, the dakgalbi rose pasta, and the crispy mushrooms. Each dish was finely crafted, and there was so much attention to detail. I tried the lychee martini and the passionfruit mango bellini, and they were able to make both into mocktails - so refreshing for summer! The berry panna cotta was AMAZING - sweet and creamy yuzu panna cotta paired with a tart berry compote and rice butter cookie crumble. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant! The staff were all so friendly and attentive, and the interior is elegant and great for fancy occasions. read more

Seoul Bap was beyond amazing. I had a 10 person event to honor my sister that I'd coordinated with the restaurant ahead of time, Cleo was an absolute pleasure to work with via email, they made the process extremely seamless. Kevin and the additional were incredibly accommodating and made sure to be cautious with the table allergies, and explained every dish as it made it to the table. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. So amazing. The perfect taste of higher scale Korean cuisine with elevated concepts. As well, lovely craft cocktails- very well thought out flavors. The ambiance speaks for itself, beautiful venue with lovely mood lighting, great music selection. Very accommodating for a large party. Well staffed and ran. For a relatively new restaurant they sure are running a well oiled machine! Biggest of thanks to all the staff at Seoul Bap! You made this experience unforgettable! read more

Overall we had a great experience! We were a group of 13~ people so it is a very good place for big groups. We decided to go with the fixed menu served as family style. The portion was generous and all the food tasted good. It seems like they really do use top quality ingredients. The service was very attentive, we didn't have to ask once for them to refill our water. Would def recommend this place for big group gatherings or a date but will make sure to bring cash as they do charge 3% fee for credit cards. read more

When I think of elevated Korean dining in NYC, Seoul Bap is one of the restaurants that comes to mind. They offer an extensive alcoholic and non alcoholic menu, with a great variety of hearty and delicious Korean dishes to go with it. We ordered their steak tartare, Korean fried chicken, burrata tteokbokki, and bossam before ending the night with their matcha panna cotta. Their food is flavorful and packs a spicy kick. This is the perfect spot to grab food with friends, date night, or celebration. Do grab a reservation before you go! read more

I was at this unique Korean restaurant with one of my groups a while ago. The lighting was a tad dark for photos, and the service was friendly. As per usual in that group, we split a bunch of dishes, with us mostly ordering meat. To start, I had a drink from their extensive cocktail menu that's no longer available, called the Night Cap, with Seoul Night soju, Won Mae soju, lemon juice, and thyme syrup for $18 or $19. I remember it being tasty, lightly boozy, and a good sipper throughout the night. Two of the others enjoyed the $18 Korean Pear with pear-infused soju, honey, lemon, and demerara. From the small plates, we got two fried dishes. The better of the two was the tasty $17 Crispy Mushrooms with fried shiitake, king oyster/oyster mushrooms, yuzu kosho mayo, gochujang sauce, and pickled radish. The mushrooms have a nice texture, still retaining a bit of chew but having some crispiness. The yuzu kosho dipping sauce was delicious, with mild spice and a citrusy zing from the yuzu, and we enjoyed it enough to use it with the other appetizer. Our other small plate was the pretty good Korean Fried Chicken for $20, consisting of seasoned, battered bite-sized chicken thigh pieces that were double-fried. They were pretty standard, with a decent portion, but I preferred the texture at some other spots, including some of the better Korean chains, and I also found their yangnyeom a bit light. This was alright. The first to arrive of the larger plates was the Burrata Ttoekbokki for $23, consisting of spicy Korean rice cakes, spicy sausages, scallion & fish cakes in a traditional creamy, sweet and spicy pepper-based sauce. This was a tasty rendition and almost reminded me of the rosé style as the mixed-in burrata added some creaminess and reduced the spiciness. The tteoks/rice cakes had a good texture, and there was plenty of eomuk/fish cakes. This was good. Next was another favorite, the Bossam for $36 with slow-cooked pork belly served with lettuce wraps, house ssamjang sauce, and radish kimchi. The pork belly was cooked nicely, with not too much fat. The ssamjang had good flavor with a bit of spice and a bit of funk to cut down the rich pork belly. This was comparable to any of the better Korean spots, and I would recommend this. Another solid dish was the Cast Iron Bulgogi for $35, with tender brisket in a traditional Korean marinade with mushrooms, carrots, chives, and caramelized onions, grilled and served on cast iron. The portion size was surprisingly large, and I liked the amount of mushrooms, as many places don't bother and just add a lot of filler vegetables. I also appreciated that the marinade wasn't super sweet. The most expensive and most different from other Korean spots was the Galbi Jjim at $55, with tender braised short rib served over parsnip puree, a chimichurri drizzle, and microgreens. This is usually served in a vessel similar to the aforementioned bulgogi, with some potatoes and jujubes usually included. Also, the meat was still on the bone in two very large pieces, rather than mixed with the braise. Aside from the differences, this was tasty, with the meat falling off the bone while still retaining some texture. The chimichurri was a tad light, so the dish was maybe a bit rich. This was good, but I would recommend splitting it, which makes sense at this price. In the sea of Korean spots, this place stands out for some unique options that mostly work. There wasn't exactly a bad dish among anything we had, and the okay dishes were still good. While I prefer other similarly modern Korean spots for specific dishes like Ollie, I'll keep a high rating given the excellent overall quality. read more

Loved this restaurant! I came here on a Tuesday night with a group of four. I was the first in my party to arrive and was seated right away. We had a spacious booth at the front of the restaurant so I didn't see much of the decor further inside but from a glimpse, it was modern and intimate. The menu had lots of tempting options. The crispy mushrooms were phenomenal. Remarkably crunchy, yet they melted in your mouth. The accompanying yuzu sauce was light, but paired nicely. I also enjoyed the corn cheese, which was rich with melty cheese and topped with two pieces of fried cauliflower. For my main, I had the bibimbap with mushrooms. All the veggies were fresh. The rice was hearty and the sauce provided sweet flavor with a subtle spice. The desserts were also not to be missed. The mango yuzu cake was light and fruity. The mango puree was deliciously sweet. The matcha panna cotta was smooth and creamy, with a satisfying matcha tea flavor. Our waitress was delightful and patient. Definitely worth a repeat visit. read more

Really great Korean spot with a great vibe and fantastic food and cocktails. We had the old fashioned, which comes smoked and cured table side, and the bourbon bee hive. Both were nicely balanced and worth the price. We ordered a little bit of everything and the Korean fried chicken was the clear winner, somehow maintaining a lot of crunch under a thick layer of sauce. Also ordered was the fried dumplings, the bulgogi, and japchae with spicy pork, the latter being our second favorite dish of the night. We skipped dessert to grab another cocktail nearby, but we saw a lot of black sesame coming out of the kitchen. I don't know how we managed to get a last minute reservation given that K town restaurants are always packed, but perhaps not being on 32nd street is a helpful start. Either way, highly recommend. read more

Food and service were great! We went as a group of 8 so it was a mandatory prix-fixe menu. There are options for $45, $55, and $65 with substitutions allowed. We opted for the $65 menu which included 5 appetizers, 5 entrees, and 3 desserts. There was way too much food and we had leftovers. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us champagne on the house for celebrating, which was very sweet. Highlights included the galbi jjim which was falloff the bone tender, spicy octopus and pork belly, mango yuzu cake which was refreshing and slightly tart, and the sesame ice cream which was very sesame forward! For a party of 8, we had 1 sesame tofu salad, 2 corn cheeses, 2 hamachi crudos, 2 fried chickens, 2 beef tartares for appetizers. For entrees, we had 2 galbi jjims, 2 mushrooms bibimbaps, 2 burrata tteokbokkis, 1 bossam, 1 spicy baby octopus and pork belly. For desserts, there were 2 mango yuzu cakes, 2 matcha panna cottas, and 2 sesame ice creams. read more

Rolled into Seoul Bap NYC with my friend thinking we'd be "responsible adults" and grab a casual drink or two. Cute. Adorable. Delusional. Because the minute Chris (half-Thai, half-Filipino), full-time heart-stealer behind the bar started shaking cocktails, our self-control packed its bags and left. This man didn't make drinks. He crafted liquid temptations. Every cocktail slapped in the best way possible. We kept telling ourselves, "Okay, last round," and then immediately betrayed ourselves because who are we kidding? When the drinks taste like vacation, therapy and good decisions all in one glass, you keep going. We were too stuffed to try the food, but honestly... the cocktails carried the night like Beyoncé at Coachella. If you go, prepare to accidentally have the time of your life. And if Chris is working, tip well. He's the reason you'll be stumbling out grinning like you just lived a whole rom-com. read more
