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!
Favorite Korean in Tulsa! Authentic dishes, delicious bonchon sides, homemade fresh kimchi, and very friendly and attentive service.
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.
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!
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.
A great little affordable restaurant! service was awesome. she was kind and very attentive. the food was bomb! very authentic! very delicious! chef was wonderful!!!! we will come back
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.
Coming from Minnesota, where we have a good amount of Korean restaurants... Damn, Seoul Bistro was so good. Oklahoma, this is the go to spot for Korean food. We ordered all out. Korean Cold Noodles, Fried Chicken & Potatoes app, Korean Black Bean Noodles, Galbi, Kimchi Pancake, etc. Everything was damn good. This spot can compete with some of the best Korean spots in Minnesota. You can't go wrong here for Korean food.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Passing through this side of town and saw a TikTok that influenced us to come here. Glad it did! Bibimbap and honey pork were fire! Service is on point and the owner makes a red miso sauce that is so good!! Sometimes you judge places based off the outside/in a strip mall but this was a really good pick. If you've been driving past this place, stop in and give them a try! read more

Ok, I've been here before and I can say my first experience here was AMAZING but not this time...It was just mediocre. I had the spicy rib stew and this just lacked flavor, meat, and toppings. As I was trying to cool down the meat in my stew I would take it out and put it on my rice. I legit had like 3 full tiny rib pieces. The rest were just bare bones. This was very upsetting since this dish was $27 in total. The server was cool but they literally just cheaped out on me. I don't know if I can come back after this unfortunately :( read more
We visited on a Monday evening and it was not busy. It's been awhile since we've been to Seoul Bistro. Their restaurant is quaint with bench seating and tables as well. We ordered quite a few items on the menu to share. The food was delicious. My only complaint is that the kimchi tasted a bit old. They do sell kimchi by the container in the fridge by the counter! 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
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 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

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
