At first I wasn't sure whether or not to come here based on reviews and limited menu. We decided to give them a try and boy are we glad that we did!! I ordered the build a bowl with spicy pork and most of the toppings on a salad base. We got all of the sauces on the side so we could choose what we liked best. We also ordered the Bulgogi fries and the Bulgogi bowl with rice. They have a base bowl and add ingredients to your liking right in front of you. Starting with the fries...or I should say the kimchi. Not your regular spicy hot delicacy. This kimchi is full of flavor and lightly spicy, I could eat this by the bowl, and lucky for me, it is sold by the jar! Back to the fries, they are topped with kimchi, beef, melted cheese and yum yum sauce. The fries were a little soft and undercooked, still ok though; add the kimchi, beef, sauce and cheese and you have a party in your mouth! The beef is sliced thin and cooked perfectly. Onto my built bowl with spicy pork. Served on a bed of mixed salad - basically shredded cabbage. Pickled radishes cut into cubes, light lavender colored and mild taste. The pickled jalapeños were HOT . Of course the kimchi and cucumber kimchi were added. The cucumber kimchi was mild flavored and spice. I like the regular kimchi better. The roasted corn was just ok. The spicy pork was not spicy at all, yet tasted good. Mixed all together I don't really feel like sauce is needed. We did try all the sauces, nonetheless. Our favorite was the sweet soy sauce. The yum yum sauce is good for the fries but too creamy for the bowl. The sweet chili was bland and the spicy gochujang was anything but spicy. I added a little of the sweet soy sauce and mixed my bowl for a delicious meal. Bottom line, we liked Seoul Bowl and will go back again. I encourage you to go and decide for yourself! read more

Conceptually I think Seoul Bowl is a fantastic idea - bring common Korean street food ingredients together in a single serving. However, the execution falls flat. I got the (bulgogi) bowl with purple rice, roasted corn, caramelized onions, Asian salad, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, sweet mashed potato, pickled radish, and soy pickled jalapeños with Yum Yum sauce. Since it was my first time eating here, I wanted to try all the toppings and see how well they would mesh. Individually I think these items would work in a meal but mixed together it's hard to taste what you're eating. Traditional Korean meals serve these items as separate side dishes that you eat throughout the meal. While there are Korean dishes, like (bibimbap), which are a mixture of various toppings, the contrasting flavors here clash. You have acid, spicy, and sweet in a creamy texture from the Yum Yum sauce. You also lose the subtle flavor of the purple rice, which is a shame. The bulgogi was also surprisingly dry. The ingredients themselves are really fresh and well prepared. I thought the soy pickled jalapeños were delicious. Portion size was pretty small for the price.

A Korean chipotle-style fast casual? Yes, please! Grabbed three bowls - tofu, bolgogi beef, and pork - all got rave reviews. There online ordering doesn't specify what comes in each bowl, so that could use some work. Because of this I ordered there, but it was really quick. Get extra sauce, because yum! read more

How in the world have I missed this all these months..!! Its like korean themed chipotle chain with the spicy tanginess flavor depth of korean cuisine and their kimchi and all the good stuff. At its heart they basically have one offering their bowl ....and also their wings. I tried a bowl with purple rice with chicken and all the fix ins (except egg and mashed potatoes). I got the spicy sauce and yum yum sauce in my bowl. MY o MY I loved this. I know this is one of the places i intend to visit for my lunches specially for their bowl. I tried their sweet and spicy 8 piece chicken wings and they were good ...but not honestly the star offering...that would be their bowl. I anticipate this franchise expanding quite quickly. read more

Food was really cold and did not taste good. Service was okay, it was a grab n go type of thing.

Bulgoogi bowl was full of sides, meat could have been more seasoned. No utensils included in my delivery order!

Awesome, and unique experience around Korean food. This is my first time having a rice bowl "pick up your topping" type of experience. I decided to get the white rice with bulgogi as the protein. The fried tofu and bbq chicken sound delicious as well. Will be back to try those :) All the toppings were essentially a free-for-all except the soy marinated egg for $1. I have no issues with that. I appreciate being able to have unlimited topping choices and being able to have my bowl packed. Portion sizes are pretty big, and I even saved half for lunch for the next day, still tasty. Will be back for more, love to see variety around the area. read more

Sorry to set an example here guys because this place is great, but restaurants need to STOP using staples to package to go orders and be more careful. This is the second time I've gotten a staple in my food (first was from Homegrown in Redmond). Another time recently I punctured my finger from opening the bag. Stop. Just use tape for **** sake. I'll take down this review once you address the issue. read more

Seoul Bowl - Chewing on an open staple - Korean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Found this korean bowl place in yelp new business suggestion and decided to give a try. I ordered chicken bowl with purple rice and different toppings. My spouse ordered bulgogi beef bowl with purple rice and other toppings as well. Both the food was quite delicious. It costed around 26$. Pretty decent. Portion size is very good. Was more than enough for me. All the toppings are delicious as well. Portion of protein was good. I liked the food but tbh this is not something I will eat very often. May be once in every 2-3 months. But that's my personal opinion and nothing related to food quality or taste. read more

Seoul Bowl - BBQ chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

For starters I came here for the first time and ordered the original KFC. Given the two side options I asked if I could get kimchi instead. In which, the cashier said no, it would be $3.50 dollars. Mind you my dumplings cost that much so that was an easy no. The only pleasant part of my experience here is that he let me sample the kimchi but it was a small slicer off the tongs which I thought was kinda weird/unsanitary. After this moment everything started to get worse..... 1. I asked for a napkin after being handed a piece of kimchi off the tongs they use to serve and he gave me so much attitude. Like if the napkin was coming from his pay check. 2. I had to ask for chopsticks and a bag. There were two people so when I asked for the second chopstick he gave me attitude yet again. Not to mention he gave me the wrong size bag so I had to ask AGAIN for the correct bag to hold my food as I was ordering takeout. 3. The icing on the cake was when I got the rest of my meal , mind you I had to bag it myself it didn't even come all together. But my radish wasn't in the bag. I noticed it when I had crossed the street so I walked back and told the cashier he had missed the item. Mind you I'm already pissed at this point cause the cashier has given me the worst attitude towards me and now he messed up my order and proceeds to talk back to me so rudely, to the point he even said "stop with your attitude". I asked for my side , which comes free with the meal and he proceeds to tell "what is it that you even want" which clearly, all I wanted was my complete meal without the attitude and missed item. This cashier is gonna be the reason the business goes under, kindly fire him before you loose more business. read more

Amazing wings! The wings were meaty and super juicy; they definitely didn't skimp on the chicken. We tried the soy garlic and sweet and spicy sauces, which were both delicious. My favorite was the soy garlic, which was heavily specked with black pepper. The sweet and spicy wings were mainly just sweet; you couldn't taste the heat at all. Delicious nonetheless. For the price, you get a decent serving of wings! I would ask for the fries in a separate container as they tend to get soggy from the heat and sauce of the wings when they are placed under the chicken. read more

I'm happy when I found out new Korean restaurant open in Bothell. I love Korean food, so I went to lots of Korean restaurants. I think, this is the only Korean restaurant with reasonable price and has good taste. Simple, yet Perfect! :D read more

We went to our new Seoul Bowl tonight, and we were really happy with our meal; we will probably be back. We both ordered chicken bowls with just about all of the toppings, and we enjoyed each and every bite. If you haven't tried it yet, you absolutely should. Next time I would probably try the chicken sandwich (looked delicious on the menu) or the beef bowl. We are always excited for new restaurants to open, and we are looking forward to Seoul Bowl being around for many years to come. Was this a life-changing meal? No. But it was Very good for the type of food served at a good-food-fast restaurant. read more

Definitely 2 stars for the look but I never had such tasteless food in my life. Basically eating watery beef with bland cucumber kimchi. How do you even called it kimchi without a bit of sour taste to it? Nice place, clean, fast, great customer service but I'm not gonna come back. read more

Seoul Bowl - Bland. I've never had such tasteless food in my life. - Korean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

It's like a Korean Chipotle! I was too hungry so unfortunately I was unable to take any photos ): BUT this place is good! It's located to the right of Bartell Drugs, apple maps takes you to the left. It's tucked in the little corner. Parking wasn't an issue because it's shared with QFC. There's about 3 tables inside and a few more outside, it's quite small. I got the purple rice with bulgolgi. They have other options such as white rice or japchae. They have a variety of toppings to add like kimchi, mashed potato, radish, etc. The portion was huge, it can feed 2. read more

So far I have tried their spicy pork and organic fried tofu and both were amazing. I have tried all of their toppings as well (kimchi, soy egg, sweet mashed potato etc.) and they were all good and same with their sauces, this place is easily one of my favorite fast korean good places. read more

The food is good overall. The japchae side order is pretty disappointing though. Looks nothing like the menu picture. Arrived with 2 slivers of carrot and just a (ice cream scoop size) portion of noodles. I also feel like Seoul Bowls food would be more enjoyable if they offered a plate option instead of just bowls, so you could keep the sides and main separate. It's not as good when piled on top of each other imo. (Look up Patton Oswalt's bit about KFC bowls for a laugh) it came to mind after eating here. I love Korean food, so I'll be back, but this place could go from good to great with a few tweaks. read more

5 stars for food, service and ambiance! All kinds of food are delicious and fancy. I recommend sweet&hot, soy chicken and fried rice cake! For here, I feel always happy!!! :) read more

Was really excited to see they have a store to get food from thats close to my house. I tried their bbq bowl at the Taste of Edmonds years ago and really liked it. I tried the Seoul Fried Chicken without any sauce for the first time and it was tasty. Will definitely be back for more, just with sauce next time. I want to try sweet n spicy along with the Honey Butter for sure. Really liked the salad with the wings. Sesame salad dressing complimented the flavors. If you're going to get the wings, you may want to call in your order ahead of time as it can get busy in the evenings, especially the weekends. They don't make them until you order them so it can take 20 to 30 min to have them ready. Also, had a bowl with spicy pork, salad, corn, caramelized onion, and picked radishes. Very yummy and the spice built as I ate it. It hit the spot. I definitely will try other meat options and different sauces in the future. read more

I think the food was decent. They give you very large portions and it was tasty. The inside is rather small so your move might be to get your order to go. read more

I ordered from DoorDash so I don't have any experience with the service but wow the food was yum! I tried a tofu bowl with everything and purple rice. There was a ton of tofu and plenty of sides so I thought the portion was extremely generous. The sauces do kind of blend together so it's hard to tell what's what. The pickled jalapeños are definitely still super spicy and not super pickled so beware. The purple rice also is not as fluffy as I've had at other Korean restaurants. read more

Just in case you can't find it like I did, it's right next to Jimmy Johns. In between Bartell Drugs and Jimmy Johns . If you want to eat inside.. They have 5 small tables, 2-3 chairs at each table inside and two tables outside with 3 chairs. read more

Quaint location and very tasty menu. Ordered cheese fries and came loaded and very flavorful. Dumplings were good but ordinary. Fried chicken comes two ways, ordered the sweet and spicy wings and they are excellent! Huge, crispy, flavorful and highly recommend! Will try a bowl next time or their fried chicken sandwich. Freshly fried so will take a bit of time. Worth the wait! read more

The perfect lunch or dinner spot if you love flavor especially Korean flavor. The bowls are so yummy. I got the bulgogi beef with half white rice and japchae! My husband got the spicy pork with purple rice. I prefer the flavor of the bulgogi but the pork is tasty too. I love the bowl idea. Once you add all the yummy sides, it's a flavor bomb! The jalapeños have a nice kick but they are very tasty. I love the kimchi's and picked radish! We're going back tomorrow to try the tofu and possibly the fried chicken sandwich. I'll definitely try every menu idea! I'm so excited to have this yummy spot nearby. read more

This is a fun addition to Bothell! Ordered the Bulgogi Beef Bowl which had just about everything on it. While it was super good it was a little rich with all the toppings for me so I would love to go back and build my own bowl with less toppings. The beef was flavorful and well proportioned! read more

Ordered fried chicken sandwich to go. Easy to pay online/mobile. It's unclear if the fried chicken sandwich comes with fries but it does (picture shows isolated). Traveled decently well, the sauce got a bit unwieldy but I still got a bit of the crunch. I wish I got to try it immediately. The sauce was a sweet chili I think, I was expecting their spicy yum yum or something but it was good overall. Good flavor balance. Overall great option now that I've discovered it. read more

Different Korean eating style but great if you're in a pinch for time and want fast service. They have great tasting chicken wings and choices of various Korean banchan items to add into the bowl. First, there's a choice or rice, purple rice, salad (cabbage like sitting in the first part compartment of choices), or japchae (extra $), choose your protein, and you go through the line like Chipotle or Mod Pizza. I wouldn't necessarily recommend mixing all the ingredients together but eating them separately in the bowl. Restaurant stays pretty cold, so dress warm and there are only four tables. Chicken wings take awhile to cook so order that first if you want some. Parking was available out front on the Wednesday night I visited. read more

My boyfriend and I came here because we were craving some KFC and this place was so good. We ordered the bulgogi cheese fries, sweet and spicy wings, and the chicken sandwich. The bulgogi kimchi cheese fries were great and are best eaten fresh. There wasn't a ton of bulgogi but there was a good amount of cheese, kimchi and sauce. The sweet and spicy sauce on the wings and sandwich was soooo good, I'd say spicy level is a 3 and pretty mild. The lady working the counter was super friendly and checked to make sure we enjoyed the food. I definitely recommend this place and we will be back! Also the Apple GPS is wrong, it's located to the right of the Bartell Drugs! read more

Food is fine but I don't think I will ever go back here. I have been ordering their food to take out so many times and it is always missing something. They never make an online order correctly. They forgot the salad or missed the sauce on the side or any side order in general. For the price, I don't think I would order from them again and I don't recommend to do any online order from them. If you do, check carefully before leaving the restaurant. read more

Have always enjoyed Seoul Bowl. Went to the food truck a lot and was excited when they opened up a location in Bothell. They never disappoint. read more

Actually really really good. Think poke bowl or burrito bowl but with Korean food instead. My kid, who is big meat fan, said "there was actually too much meat and not enough yummy veg". Packed full and full of flavor, definitely recommend, especially if you want a quick meal and are in the mood for Korean. read more

This place has a set up like chipotle but for Korean style bowls. It was so yummy with many good toppings to choose from.

Ok so coming in I was ready to give it a shot. Best wings in Bothell in my opinion! Chicken didn't disappoint! With the sweet and spicy sauce! Keep in mind you may want to wear gloves for easy cleaning. Really good fast service. Spicy and good. You can get things that aren't spicy but I like spice. Good deal chicken is cooked to order. Very fresh the salad was delicious too! Good new spot for lunch. read more

Ordered a bowl with rice and tofu and they made it with everything on it. I guess it's my fault for not checking before I left, so now I have to drive 15 minutes back. Had to wait 15 minutes for them to remake it and they didn't apologize. 15 minute drive home and that's 45 minutes of day gone because they can't follow basic instructions. Won't be back. read more

Hands down best fried chicken sandwich in WA State. Perfectly fried and prepared with approximately weighted sweet and spice. Next level!

It was okay, but my wife wasn't a fan. Was hardly warm. I guess I expected more out of a new Korean place. Maybe caught them on a bad day. I'll try again and update read more
