Salad

10/10 David took great care of us. They remodeled and added a fresh salad bar. It was great before and now it's even better!

Yummy amazing side dishes
John T.

Came here for my birthday dinner, 1st time dining here. Clean and bright indoor eating areas with lots of table space, perfect for large groups or general date nights. Food here is amazing, it's Korean BBQ so every table has a built in grill and you cook your own meats. The quality of food and the entire flavor profile of every single dish was spot on EPIC. There are 2 price options. It's AYCE basic choices for mid $30 range or AYCE full menu mid $40 range. We ordered the full menu option as we wanted to enjoy anything we wanted. Our party of six ordered Beef Bulgogi, Pork, Chicken, and Shrimp proteins. Lots of appetizer choices here so we ordered egg rolls, fried tofu, Korean pancake, and an assortments of mini side dishes. No joke . . . Every single dish is fantastic, well worth the price tag. The server was checking in on us constantly and refilling our drinks. She eventually switched the grill top as it got crusty from all the food we were cooking. Their website states that they also serve sushi but that is recently discontinued so don't expect to get sushi here. So here's some bad feedback next. I would have easily given Seoul BBQ 5 stars BUT . . . We were a party of 6. One person in my group just had major dental work (teeth extraction) earlier in the day and she wanted to join us at the table and just hang out with us. Obviously she couldn't eat so we made a request if my friend can just be at the table and not be charged the $45 buffet price. Even with this explanation and with obvious gauze sticking out of her mouth, the hostess declined our request and told us she had to pay the entire $45 buffet fee just to sit at the table. So my friend paid $45 just to sit among my eating family members only for the privilege of sitting at the table and not eating any food since it was impossible for her to eat after getting teeth pulled out. So our check was around $350- ish. They automatically added 20% gratuity for a group of 6 even though only 5 people actually ate AND we were charged for 6 people eating. So when you come here, please make sure that everybody in your group plans to eat. They will make ZERO exceptions. I wouldn't be surprised if you brought your baby child with no teeth and they end up charging you just for bringing your child with you despite the fact that your baby drinks from the bottle. Yes, this is one of those places. Also if you just had braces placed on your teeth and can't eat food that day, you will still be charged full price anyway just for hanging out with your family. On the flip side, the food is seriously good here. I really felt like giving them 2 stars due to force paying my non eating friend but the food quality is just superb.

I love it here. They went all you can eat now and it's even better than before. The ribeye steak is the best!! Marinated in butter ? The waiters are always super attentive and nice. Thank you for being in business.

So delicious. It was my first time trying and I loved it!!! Their food is amazing. The sides were super tasty and they offer refills. I got the fried rice with shrimp, as a newbie, and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend had been before multiple times so he got the bimbibap(sorry I know my spelling is probably wrong) and it looked amazingggg too. I'm trying that with tofu next time! Wish I could have tried their sushi too but hopefully it comes back soon. Service was friendly, helpful and quick. The inside was really nice and a vibe too. Definitely will be back!

We took our small family to Seoul BBQ & Sushi and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the meats , super fresh and full of flavor. My son couldn't stop smiling because the food and he loved the mochi ice cream there too Everyone enjoyed all kinds of meats, everything tasted so good. The restaurant is clean, nice, and very comfortable, and the service was quick and super friendly. It's a little bit pricey, but honestly worth every penny you spend. Such a great place for family time with amazing food and happy memories. We'll definitely be back

Sundubu-jjigae/ Soft Tofu Soup

This is my go to korean restaurant. I've been to every one in the Phoenix area that I know of and in Mesa and this place has the best most authentic food. So good. Great banchan, which for me tells me all I need to know about a korean restaurant. Also, I'd recommend the all you can eat for sure because you get unlimited meats vs if you want an order of bulgogi it's about $30. You're getting unlimited for like $8 more.

We visited Seoul BBQ and Sushi in Phoenix because it was one of the few places open late at night. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu, but we chose to order à la carte instead. We had two sushi rolls and a beef rib soup. The soup came with a small bowl of rice, which was a nice touch, but unfortunately, the soup itself was very bland, and the beef ribs had very little meat on them. It was around $25 for the soup - not worth it in my opinion. We had to mix in some soy sauce just to get some flavor. A side note is that the normal soy sauce they provided doesn't taste like normal sushi soy sauce so maybe op for the low sodium one which they do offer. They also serve a few Korean side dishes, and while they are refillable, the servers won't voluntarily offer refills--you have to ask. Overall, it was convenient for a late-night option, but the food didn't quite meet expectations.

Henry L.

Okay, I'm gonna keep it real. The quality of the meat itself was mid-level, but the drinks were pretty good. Our server was pretty sweet and checked in with us often, which was nice. The private room was pretty nice and hidden from everyone else, which resulted in my friends and me having a blast since we weren't near anyone. I would come with a smaller group so you don't incur additional charges. Other than that, it was a good experience.

Ask the Community - Seoul K BBQ

Are the side dishes unlimited?

When we've ordered from the regular menu; the side dishes have been unlimited. Unable to answer about the all you can eat choices.

Is dine-in an option?

Yes they open for dine in and all the food so good you gonna love it I'm go there first time I'm go crazy

Is this all u can eat? If so what the prices?

No. Not all you can eat.

Is there an All You an Eat menu price?

Not that I saw. However there are combinations that have more than enough for a group and they're very reasonable.

Do you need a reservation?

Nope

When is happy hour?

There isn't a happy hour menu

Can you cook the meat at the table yourself?

If you order at least 2 grillable platters, yes!

Does the KFC at Seoul have wheat flour or is it legit KFC without it? (For those ignorant of KFC, it’s Korean Fried Chicken.)

KFC has nothing to do With Seoul Phx At all. Stupid question

Do they add msg to the food. I'm allergic?

I'm not certain. MSG gives me bad hearburn and I had no problems after eating the food. I would ask the restaurant to be sure.

Are there decent vegetarian options?

Yes, there are several vegetarian options. They also make everything handmade from scratch (even their noodles!), so it shouldn't be an issue to ask them to leave out the meat of a dish you really want to try.

Is it ayce?

No- but the meat portions are large and the banchan they will bring you as much as you want

We've developed favorites in several cities, particularly when it comes to authentic Texas-style BBQ. Since moving to Arizona, we've enjoyed exploring the local BBQ scene, including Little Miss BBQ. However, after our first visit to Caldwell County BBQ, we can confidently say we've found our new local favorite! From the moment we walked through the door, the experience was exceptional. We were greeted by Mason, who immediately made us feel welcome. When he learned it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the ordering process, describe the different meats, and share his personal recommendations. Even as the line grew behind us, he never made us feel rushed. He treated us as though we were the only guests there. Mason offered samples of the beef rib, brisket, and sausage, all of which were outstanding. He genuinely wanted us to experience the flavors before ordering. He explained that everything is served à la carte and prepared fresh daily. His enthusiasm was especially noticeable when describing the banana pudding, made fresh at 5 a.m. with bananas, homemade custard, and smoked vanilla beans. That attention to detail immediately impressed us. We ordered a pound of brisket, pulled pork and brisket sliders, green chile mac and cheese, corn casserole, pinto beans, and two absolutely massive beef ribs served with house-made chimichurri. The beef ribs were phenomenal! Incredibly tender, flavorful, and slightly sweeter than the brisket, they were easily among the best we've ever had. The chimichurri was equally impressive, bursting with fresh herbs and peppers. We honestly could have put it on everything! The green chile mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, with just enough chile flavor without overwhelming heat. The corn casserole was rich, thick, and buttery, while the pinto beans were perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness that wasn't buried under excessive seasoning. The brisket had beautiful bark, exceptional flavor, and was incredibly juicy without relying on excessive fat. The sliders, served on salted pretzel buns, may have been small enough to fit in your palm, but they were generously packed with meat. Don't underestimate them! For dessert, we enjoyed the banana pudding and sheet cake. The pudding was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Learning that the vanilla beans are smoked and the wafers are buttered, baked, and layered into the pudding made us appreciate it even more. The sheet cake featured a tender layer of cake topped with rich fudge frosting and walnuts. Both were a wonderful ending to an incredible meal. But as exceptional as the food was, what truly set Caldwell County apart was the hospitality. Mason made a point to check on us during our meal, genuinely interested in hearing about our experience. That simple gesture meant a great deal. Throughout our visit, it was obvious that the entire team takes tremendous pride not only in the quality of their food but also in how they treat their guests. There is a meaningful difference between serving customers and making people feel genuinely valued. Caldwell County understands that difference. Every interaction felt personal, sincere, and unhurried. We never felt like another transaction or simply the next people in line. We felt appreciated, and that is something we'll remember long after the meal. In fact, before we had even finished eating, we were already telling family, friends, and fellow BBQ enthusiasts about our experience! Having enjoyed BBQ throughout the country, we can confidently place Caldwell County among our absolute favorites. The quality, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make this restaurant something special. We're already looking forward to returning next week with friends visiting from out of town. We sincerely hope Mason is there because we'd love for them to experience the same exceptional hospitality we received. To Mason and the entire Caldwell County team: Thank you for reminding us what genuine hospitality looks like. You've gained loyal customers, and we couldn't be happier to have discovered you here in Arizona! If we could give you a 20 out of 10, we absolutely would. Outstanding in every way!

I've been to what is arguably the best BBQ restaurant in the country, Goldie's. In fact, I took a…read morebrisket class there, and have taken classes with KCBS champion Harry Soo. I consider Little Miss to have the potential to be better than Goldies. Why potential? Read on... THEY USE TOO MUCH SALT! It's an OBSCENE amount of salt and it takes this BBQ from a 10/10 to a 2/10, making it almost inedible. I've had it several times but don't go often because of this issue. I have to guess that people cover it up with the sauce, which I don't use. Maybe the sugar in the sauce balances it out. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce. I have never experienced anything quite as tragic before. I really do wish they would back off on the salt by at least 80%. Just to be clear, I drink 1,000 mg electrolyte every day to replace what I sweat out during endurance running, so I'm no stranger to salt. This place is next level. STOP WITH THE SALT!

The chopped brisket was the better of the two briskets, but the pork belly burnt ends were the real star. I'd honestly come back just for those!

Definitely go early, as they can sell out!

They're known for smoking and then putting over a wood fire grill. For me the ribs were okay, I typically look for more of a charred bbq flavor on my ribs. A lot better than typically smoked (for me) beer battered fries are really good! I did t get a chance to get into the cornbread but it looks really good. Service was okay. Bartender (C.J.) was busy and not very much attentive. Restaurant just opened so maybe setup was still being done. I'd say try it! Could of just been a day

The concept is simple: order your meat by the pound, pick your sides, grab a dessert, and snag a beer, specialty soda, or fountain drink on your way to the register. The dining room is basically a redneck cafeteria, and I mean that as a compliment. Long community tables, no table service, and everything is self-serve. Honestly, I prefer it that way. I can grab as much white bread as I want, refill my own drink, never have to flag someone down for napkins, and I've had some great conversations with other patrons. The brisket is consistently good, and I always order it moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is another favorite, but the baked beans deserve their own mention. They're loaded with bits of shredded pork that add both texture and smoky flavor, making them one of the better barbecue sides around. Rudy's is one of those chains that doesn't feel like a chain. The focus is on the meat, and it shows. It delivers the consistency you'd expect from a larger operation while still feeling like a neighborhood barbecue joint. That's not an easy balance to strike, but Rudy's pulls it off.
