What a great find in Hong Kong! Having had traditional Cantonese food for lunch, but it being our last night, we wanted something "Asian" but quick, cheap and delish. The magic of yelp led us to Seoul Bros and it didn't disappointment. It's above an awesome graffiti mural so you may think you've walked past it but just look up :). The menu is straight-forward. We all opted for a bibimbap, which is a rice with a lot of deliciousness and scrambled eggs on top. I had the tofu option (which are fried) and hubs got beef. The hot sauce really made it for me. I also loved the spicy corn which was really spicy! I mixed it in my bibimbap - yum!! The hubs loved the kimchi fries and man oh man, the limeade soda was amazing. FYI, it's HUGE! At least 24 oz. While the venue is very clean and well decorated, it only seats 10ish patrons. Being Hong Kong, there were a few flies buzzing around but the service, platters, tables were all clean. Won't lie to you.. I wish we had one in the states bc I'm craving it now!
FINALLY a reasonably priced good meal in Central! Had to check this place out as soon as I heard about it, and everything was really really good, especially the prices. I had the Chicken (Korean fried of course) Banh Mi, which had a great balance between the fried chicken and picked radish and the best baguette I've had in HK. Finally a place that has got the bread right! Slight crunchy to the crust, but light and not chewy. I want to take a few of these home for my own sandwiches. I split an order of the sweet and spicy Chicken (again Korean fried of course) which was mixed with Korean rice cakes. I usually don't like rice cakes as they're too chewy, but these were slightly crispy on the outside which I enjoyed. We finished with the traditional banana ice cream because... well, it was free, and you can't say no to that! My friend and I agreed, everything was delicious and it's a great addition to the area. We'll be back.
I woke up with a vicious hangover and a text from a friend asking if I was around for brunch. My immediate state said, 1) Ravenous. 2) greasy food is required. 3) I'd turned on "Chef" as some light tv as I debated what to do - I wanted a sandwich. Relaying these thoughts to my friend she suggested Seoul Bros. By Jove, she got all those things in one. Seoul Bros is the PERFECT hangover cure. We rocked up and sadly the kitchen was still preparing for the day. In my hungover state, I popped my head in and enquired if they could open a bit early. The very kindly obliged as what we wanted was prepped and ready. We ordered the chicken banh mi and kimchi fries. The banh mi was exactly what the hangover gods ordered. Tender Korean fried chicken topped with pickles and secret sauce in between crispy bread. I. Was. In. Heaven. Add in the kimchi fries and you could put a fork in me as I was done. The fries were smothered in kimchi (tick for that tangy spicy flavour) and drowned in that American fake cheese sauce. Hells yes. The perfect start to my day - although, the kimchi flavoured burps following stuck around a bit too long. Tip, brushing your teeth numerous times does not help. Drinking more wine does.
Discovered this place on the way to Edition because I was wanting some Kimchi Fries (I miss Chi'lantro BBQ back in Austin TX). Noticing that this place has it on the menu and only recently opened I decided to give it a try, after all it gives an excuse to write another review rather than stick with the same stuff (variety is a spice of life they say). Anyway, it turned out my detour was actually worth it as the kimchi fries was actually good (as of this writing there's 3 places that do it that I know of). And also the wrapper they used is kind of cool if you can read Korean. The only thing that I could see that could change is probably some soju cocktails and Korean beers. (Maybe credit cards too.. But Octopus is fine). But I guess the place was still in soft launch mode so I won't deduct a star for that.
I visited the place after reading some recommendations from instagram food bloggers. This is a trendy little store located at the Hollywood Road. It is more like a Korean-styled fast food outlet than a Korean restaurant for me as there aren't as much food choices available. I got the fried chicken and the kimchi fries. Both of them actually tasted pretty good. I loved the sweet and sour sauce covering those freshly fried chicken as well as the cheesy kimchi fries! It's such a pity that I was already full after finishing both items. But if I was not, I would have gone for the banana-milk flavoured ice cream. That was absolutely tempting for a Korean banana milk lover like me! The location is a bit inconvenient for me being far away from MTR station.
Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get carried away by the hype... Seoul Bros is good, but not great. Sure it's cheaper than a lot of places in central, and yes their unofficial motto might be "twice the portions at half the price", but Ebeneezers is cheap too. Don't get your expectations up - beef in the bibimbap is pretty much the quality you would expect for that price while the KFC was mostly skin & batter. The best thing about Seoul Bros is that it is an attractive alternative to Ebeneezers and Burger Circus for late night food after lots of drinking.
Great service and great food. I had the beef banh mi and the Kimchi fries. The bread on the banh mi was great. My brother had the quesadilla. He was not very impressed..
***Korean place with Vietnamese twist*** While Seoul Bros is officially a Korean place, I was definitely happy to see some Vietnamese touch i.e. Banh Mi sandwiches and the meat inside them was Korean Style. We went a little crazy having a large number of dishes from Seoul Bros- - Shrimp Bibimbap - Chicken Quesadilla - Chicken Banh Mi - Soft Shell Crab Banh Mi - Sweet and Spicy Chicken SHRIMP BIBIMBAP is like an entire meal in itself! It's rice with generous amounts of Shrimp, egg, cheese, corn, spring onions and coriander (optional). All these ingredients come together to deliver an AWSOME taste. The quantity should be enough for one person. CHICKEN QUESADILLA was also quite good, the tortilla was well toasted but still soft enough for me to enjoy(generally, I don't like if the tortilla becomes too crunchy and too flaky). CHICKEN BANH MI SANDWICH and SOFT-SHELL CRAB BANH MI SANDWICH were excellent!!I would say the taste/texture of the Banh Mi bread was similar (but not exactly same) to what I've experienced in some of the Authentic Vietnamese places in Hong Kong (e.g. Banh Mi Kitchen, Viet Kitchen, etc.). If a Korean place can deliver that kind of Banh Mi bread, then I'm pretty happy as a customer. Now, the meat - in both the sandwiches, the Chicken and the Crab meat were in Korean style and they were SUUUPER TASTY I asked for radish to be added to both and that just enhanced the overall taste. In my opinion, the Banh Mi is the star of this restaurant's menu
The trendy korean joint is just opening in SOHO on Peel Street at Hollywood Road. Open until 2am on weekends, it should offer some much needed late night variety to the area. Created by three friends who attended the University of Chicago, the menu includes Bahn Mi sandwiches, kimchi fries, hot and spicy chicken (The Chicken), bibimbap, and assorted sides. I ordered a set meal with beef bibimbap, hot and spicy chicken, and a soda for $78HKD. The chicken was crispy and well flavored and spiced. The bibimbap had the perfect amount ingredients on top to give a flavorful punch. As this was a soft opening, the owners we very attentive and offered us some complimentary banana ice cream during our (short) wait. The ice cream offered a nice finish to our night.
Had a crazy crazy craving for chicken wings. This place didn't have chicken with the bone, but the chicken came with fried rice cakes! definitely was surprised by that. had a great crunch while being drenched (in a good way) with the sweet snd spicy sauce. The Sangria also took me by surprise, wasn't expecting it in a kind-of takeaway/fast food Korean fusion place. Would definitely come back here!

After walking around Central and PMQ, we happened across this small Korean-Viet fusion style joint. After walking up a tight and small staircase, you reach where the food magic happens. This place is fast food style, so you place your order at the front and find an empty table. When we came during the lunch hour, it was quite busy so either take this to-go or be prepared to wait for an empty seat. The menu is quite simple. The most popular options seemed to be the set meals, which is actually a pretty good size to share amongst 2 people for a light lunch. We tried their banh mi set. The only thing that was Viet-fusion about this banh mi was their pickled daikon and carrots, even the bun wasn't the typical banh mi bun. But sall good, still tasted yummy anyways! The meat is marinated in a Korean style marinade and the sandwich is loaded with tons of kimchi. The spicy corn and cheese fries the set came with were good - nice small side to make your meal less boring. We also tried their Seoulade... this is a gigantic drink and def worth it! You'll be peeing buckets if you end up chugging this. Super refreshing during the hot summer months. This place is def a good option for when you want a quick bite and are wanting to try something different in the area! read more
Why wouldn't Korean fusion hit Hong Kong? I was expecting more of the same Korean/Mexican stuff, but it's an interesting take on Korean fast food. I usually like Set A, which when combined with an additional order of Kimchi fries is meal enough for two. I know Set A comes with fries, so why order another set of fries? Because 1) It's a different kind of fries, and 2) they're really good and adding bacon to is worth the 5 dollars. The regular fries themselves aren't too bad. You remember the old school nacho cheese? They put that on the plain fries here. I'm not a big fan of corn, but the corn salad here is just the right amount of sweet and a little spice that it's something I fight over and not something I just give away. The banh mi looks small but it's filling and the bulgogi is not overly sweet-which brings back memories of some pretty bad barbecues. Definitely another item that's worth getting multiple times. Their lemonade is pretty good even though it's basically a mix of 7up and lemon juice-it's still a pretty giant drink that will probably leave you in a diabetic coma. To top it off, the banana milk ice cream is a must get, try to save room for it. read more

Walked past this spot a couple times but it was never opened. Finally found time to try it on Friday night - kimchi fries, spicy corn salad, fried chicken. Overall, small place with an even tinier kitchen, but quality of food is decent if you just want a quick bite. Fried chicken is the highlight. read more
