Dined in for lunch yesterday and met Jose, the owner, who was friendly and offered suggestions on what is popular on the menu. I ordered the galbi and tofu stew with pork and my wife ordered the yukgaejang stew. Jose said the banchan were unlimited, which is nice to hear. Besides the fermented radish, which I personally don't eat, all the banchan dishes were good. The standout was the kimchi, which is the best we've had in Tulsa so far. Believe it or not, it's better than Mr. Kim's and Korean Garden. The stews came out sizzling out, great sign! My tofu soup was on point for a rainy day. It had the right about of spice and the broth was good. I was a bit surprised that it didn't come with an egg though. The galbi was nice. Although not as good as what we've had in other states, but pretty good for Tulsa. It was slightly sweet and savory. Happy to have dined here. We will return for more! read more

Ordered tteokbokki, dak gangjung, spicy chicken stew and kimbap less ham. Banchan: braised potato, fish cake, pancake, cucumber, kimchi. $53.11 with an additional 3.3% charge for using a credit card. :/ The braised potato is food. The rest of the banchans were ok. Kimchi wasn't that fresh. The dak gangjung is pretty good, crispy, not spicy, mostly sweet. The kimbap isn't bad, a lot of rice. The tteokbokki is spicy and slightly sweet, not a lot of fish cake in it though. The spicy chicken stew was more sweet that spicy, meat wasn't well trimmed either. Service was good. read more

Literally the worst Korean food I have ever had. When we came in after we ordered food I had to ask the waitress to bring us waters and not even that five minutes after ordering she decides to tell me that they don't have the food that I ordered, which is fine but told me if I wanted something else, but didn't even bring me a menu in my opinion they have no pride in their food that they make or the service that they provide it's just very disappointing that there's only two Korean restaurants in Tulsa and one is just absolute garbage from the service to the food. At least have someone there who actually seems like they want to be there. read more

The food is okay but service is bad! They close at 9PM, we stepped in 8PM and already got some attitude from a server! She asked other tables how they doing and what else they need but not our table. We tried to eat fast and left at 8:45. Please learn how to respect customers! read more

If you're craving Korean food, this place hits. Is it the best I've ever had? No. But it's pretty dang close! I was excited to try this place because the reviews seemed to be positive and I was craving craving! Ordered the Nengmyun (cold noodles) and my mom gives it 4/5. She said the sauce that comes with it is a MUST. She didn't care for the meat that it came with... she says it made her top 3! My aunt always gets the galbi so I'm assuming it's good, I didn't try it. The gimbap was alright. A lot of veggies but it was too loosely wrapped for me, I like them TIGHT so they don't fall apart on me. The topokki was a bit on the watery side but it has potential. The soft tofu soup ‍‍ I'm not a tofu fan but I'm slowly starting to love soft tofu soup. IT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH. I would get again!! AND THE PORK BULGOGI WAS DELICIOUS. 5/5 wouldn't change a dang thing! Comes with a little side of cabbage with cream like dressing and rice! The pork had so much flavor and it wasn't hard or chewy! I'd come back just for the pork! The atmosphere was very cozy, felt like a true mom & pop shop. I think the workers/owners were literally chilling and enjoying their meal next to us! WARNING: idk if they have air conditioning but they did have manual fans going back and forth so fyi for those who are food fighters! read more

Seoul Bistro is a very small Korean restaurant. It's not as fancy as Mr. Kim's in downtown Tulsa. However, it's quite busy. Even though it closes at 9PM, dine in closes much earlier. I came in at 8 PM and was able to get a seat. Dine in for some reason stopped at 8:20 PM that night. They had 2 people working in the front that night so things were moving quickly. Giving the size of the place, even one person should be enough. A couple of people work in the back to bring out your food. Speaking of the food, overall it's good. Every order comes with 5 sides. A few Korean sides I love are missing though, one of which is the anchovies. I believe every order also comes with miso soup, which is okay. The Topokki is Japanese pancakes in a spicy sauce. The noodle is thick and very chewy, almost the same texture of mochi dough. It's something I wanted to try but won't get it again in the future, not really worth it. The bibimbop is rice with egg, bulgogi beef, and vegetables. It's good with the spicy sauce and thoroughly mixing it up, even better when you mix all the sides in. I feel like the dish would be better if they give the customers the option to choose how the egg is cooked. Sunny side up or a little runny egg would make the dish tastier. Overall, Seoul Bistro is a good Korean option for Korean food giving the limited Korean restaurants in Tulsa. Don't expect to be blown away by all the reviews you read. As long as you do that, you will likely enjoy the food. read more

Visiting my daughter in college in Tulsa quite frequently from San Antonio and we always try somewhere new and avoid chains. She's been there six months and this by far is the best place so far. Appearance is deceiving but the food was soooooooo yummy! It was alittle pricey but so much food. And we were stuffed. I felt bad for the server because they were so attentive but we really couldn't make up our mind to order. We settled on each getting the honey pork, it was so good and I wish they were in San Antonio so I could go alllll the time. Worth the money!!! Amazing food read more

I tried their kimchi jjigae, and it was bursting with flavor. The broth was spicy and tangy, with tender tofu and pork belly that melted in my mouth. The side dishes were generous and delicious, especially the kimchi and pickled radish. It's such a comforting and satisfying meal. read more

Delicious tofu soup, good service and the inside is clean. I highly recommend some dishes in menu: galbi, pancake, yangnum chicken.

I visited this restaurant with my co-worker and the service was not too friendly. The cook was wearing an apron with explicit language. The staff was not the most friendly and I do not think me and my co-worker will be coming back. I'd highly recommend a lot Korean Garden if you are looking for authentic korean foods. read more

Coming from Los Angeles where Korean food is pretty easy access, this place holds it own very well. It's in a very secluded plaza but I must say the food is good. I was craving Korean food, tired of eating American food and being Asian I needed my rice dosage LOL. What I ordered... I ordered Kimbap Bulgogi, galbi and soy bean paste soup. The food is pretty good and I'm overall impressed with this establishment to be able to give food Korean food in a city where the Asian American population is very small. I'm assuming this place is family owned, so the daughter upfront who took our order and her friends who charged us were very friendly. Sad to say this probably the must welcoming people I've encountered my entire stay in Tulsa for work. Service was amazing!! Like I said, this place is good and holds it down for its location. I give it 5 stars. It's not no BCD tofu house in Los Angeles but it does the work and hits the spot. read more

This place is legit! Was just visiting Tulsa and a friend recommended Seoul bistro. Much smaller and more home-y than I anticipated, which I loved. The banchan was brought out pretty quickly and were some of the biggest portions I've seen thus far when it comes to Korean in Oklahoma. Their kimchi and daikon were spot on. Following their banchan portions, the portions of the main entrees were no different. I ordered the squid stir fry which also came with rice, salad, and miso soup. The stir fry was very flavorful and fresh. Didn't really care for the salad. We also tried the soft tofu soup which was also very good. Really solid place if you're craving that authentic Korean taste! read more

Straying from my favorite meal F-4 Dak Gangjung , to try the S-2 Yukgaejang . It was a delicious, filling, spicy beef stew with one minor unpleasantry. The bracken fern stems were woody and fibrous. I imagine that eating an electrical extension cord would be similar in texture and chewiness. Not one of their meals I would recommend, for only this reason. My wife went with the R-1 Dolsot Bibimbap. She enjoyed the big bowl of seasoned napus leaf, soy bean sprouts, broiled radish, and carrot with bulgogi. Recommended! The kimchi served with the banchan remains rated as some of the best I have ever had. It is a clean restaurant with very good service, serving freshly prepared Korean dishes. Even with the chewy fern stems in the Yukgaejang, Seoul Bistro still holds a comfortable ranking as one of two best Korean restaurants in Tulsa, in my opinion. read more

Seoul Bistro had been on my list for quite some time when I found myself able to make it in for lunch. The place itself is neat as a pin, clean and welcoming. Once seated, a menu and drink were quickly brought to the table. Having perused the Yelp! images from other users, I had already decided between udon and galbi, ultimately deciding on beef udon noodles, with fried shrimp for an app. The assorted sides arrived with the shrimp in remarkable time. The shrimp were good, but I suspect your run of the mill frozen shrimp like you'll get most everywhere. The beef udon was outstanding. Packed with flavor, and a great lunch-sized portion. Service was also on point, which you would expect with a smaller establishment like this. I will definitely be a frequenter as my schedule allows. read more

Anyone else ate at seoul bistro on 31st and 129th lately? Honestly I was disappointed, we haven't been in for a couple years and it's just not the same anymore. The banchan potatoe is definitely not the same, looks and tastes like it just got scrapped from the bottom of a pot, the kimchi was bland and didn't taste fresh. The table and our glass were sticky. They use disposable chopsticks instead of real metal like before. My galbitang had good flavor but first came out with like 3 glass noodle in it, this was fixed where they put some more. Flavor of soup was still good. The service is also not the same anymore as the Korean lady that was so friendly is not there today. The lady bringing out our food also just slams it on the table and she did that with the other customers too. Overall sad that this restaurant is not like it used to be and it's just not worth the price charged anymore. My soup was $15.99 for the galbitang and the bowl was super small. read more

I was in need of something warm and stopped by. It's a very simple restaurant set up with so much seating. When you enter the restaurant, the counter immediately to your right is where you wait to be seated and also where you pay. There was one server despite the amount of groups that came in for dinner. But she was fast and didn't forget about me throughout my dining experience. Once the server took my order, someone else from the kitchen came out with a cart of orders and my side dishes. I had Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) and it was flavorful. It's something you order for comfort and something I would love to have everyday. I ended up having to take the rest for leftovers. This is a must stop for Korean cuisine and a hole-in-the-wall gem. read more

In June 2022: Went here for early Friday lunch with a friend. Not too crowded until past noon. Service was quick and kind, but they did get my order wrong. I received stir-fried octopus (which is a lil pricier) instead of squid, but I found it tasty and just went with it. Wasn't as spicy as it looked. Portions are generous. The side dishes were all right: beansprouts, kimchi, fish cakes, (honeyed?) potatoes, seaweed, and turnip/radish? I think. Their white rice is nice, like each individual grain is visible and they stick together making it easier to eat with chopsticks. 3 months later: Went here again on weekday around 4pm...and food was not as great as the previous time but oh well. Wasn't as flavorful and enticing in appearance as my last visit. Banchan were eh. Service was fine. read more

Food & service very good. Haven't been there since disabled in '22, but consider taking my health aide there sometime. I am old, don't remember having to "gild the lily;" when leaving a review.

I had never had Korean food before and I was considering a bunch of places. But then I seen Seoul Bistro and had to try it out. The restaurant was a little smaller than I was expecting. But the atmosphere was great it was quiet and calming. The waiter was very nice and explained all these new dishes I have never tried. Me and my father enjoyed the food a lot the steamed dumplings the waiter suggested were great with the sauce provided. And the recommendation of the spicy pork dish was very flavorful. (Might have needed a little more spice for my taste but was great overall) will be coming back again whenever I can. Thank you Seoul Bistro for providing great Korean food for my first time. read more

Give this one a thinker... You are trying to have a splendid time with your family, trying to make the best of your day. You go in and get the soy chicken but it's as cold as ice, absolutely ridiculous! The waitress was quite insolent towards us. Ordering the chicken is the worst thing you could ever think of doing. Room temperature would have felt like a thousand suns after pressing this chicken against your tongue. You can't get me started with the waitress, giving us cold stares any moment she walked past. Tossing the food on the table, lying about menu options and the worst of all, upcharging us for every single item we had. The tables weren't cleaned before hand. This is ridiculous I will never be going back. I want my money back, my 45 minutes of wait time back, and most importantly this experience erased from my mind. Don't recommend . read more

Get this! Me and my family are thinking of a fantastic place to dine at, and we thought, "Oh why don't we try Seoul Bistro" immediate regret! Food was cold, mid, not to my liking. The little white girl needs to be taught a lesson, rude, she lied about the menu and 2 meals coming with miso soup! I corrected and she gave attitude. Made me feel small when she was rude! and then me and my family went to go pay, we were scammed!!!!!! Charged way more than expected. And we paid separately!!!! It was outrageously expensive. I got a small plate and water, it was $20 AT FIRST THEN $30?? ABSOLUTELY INSANE! The girl was not inviting, and welcoming! MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT get the waitress with piercings. Not coming back. read more

Now imagine this, picture the cold stares and the even colder food, not 1, not even 2, but 4 plates!! of the F4 chicken, colder than ice.

Had the fried dumplings and pork bulgogi. Both were excellent. All the pickles and relishes served on the side were also great although I will say the kimchi was not my favorite. Not saying it was bad or anything like that, it just wasn't to my liking. I prefer kimchi with more tang and more of a fermented flavor than this one had. Other than that a great meal and looking forward to trying other items on the menu next time I am in town. read more

This little gem is part of a shopping strip shared with laundromats and other stores but their sign is very clear so you won't be able to miss it. It was very busy for a Wednesday at 11:00am. I believe it is ran by a family and they weren't able to tend to everyone as much as they would have wished but it didn't deter us from eating there. I ordered the galbi and I was definitely not disappointed. It was absolutely delicious and the rice it came was delicious and soft. It was a bad service day but it definitely won't ruin my future visits there as it's always great food with great company. read more

I'm a visitor to the area for work, and decided to venture out to find something a little different. I'm no stranger to Korean food, but don't have any restaurants near home, so I look for Korean when I travel. Saw the Seoul Bistro on Yelp - a 20 minute drive from where I was working, so gave it a try. First impression: it's not fancy. No soft lighting here - and when a dining room is well lit, "kitchen " comes to mind, as opposed to "restaurant." That by itself doesn't mean it's good, but when the tables are full, the customer isn't there for the atmosphere. The server was very friendly, and helpful when I asked for recommendations. She recommended a spicy soup with seafood and fresh noodles (what the folks in Georgia call dumplings). The serving was more than enough, and the Korean sides (kimchi, etc) were just right! Started with a plate of mandoo (fried dumplings), which was a generous serving for 2. I was alone, so I ate them all with no complaints! For an out-of-towner, the location isn't very attractive, but the food was worth the trip. I'll go back again on my next visit to Tulsa! read more
