This has been our go-to KBBQ restaurant. The meat quality are better than anywhere else in the Valley. Banchans are also delish! It was sad to see the sushi ayce go, but it looks like they are starting a banchan ayce/salad bar soon. Try once and get hooked. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Exceptional service from every server that works here. Alongside that I always keep coming back for the food and the newly fresh bar they've added to their location! I love the environment and music they create, especially at night always a welcoming place to be in. read more

This place is very nice. The food customer service the atmosphere, everything about it is on point

The food here used to be wayyy better. They have a HUGE space, but not enough audience for it. I still go when I want kbbq and dont wanna drive 30 mins to mesa/chandler. But the quality has definitely gone down. Hopefully they can make changes because it is definitely a beautiful restaurant and the quality of food was amazing back then. They have the recipes, they just need to use them! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Seoul K BBQ - Sundubu-jjigae/ Soft Tofu Soup - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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 read more

We ordered takeout from Seoul BBQ & Sushi and liked it. We specifically got the bulgogi bento, kimchi fried rice, Korean fried chicken (with spicy sauce), goon mandu and shrimp shumai. The order came with some banchan; stir fried fish cakes, cucumber salad, and kimchi. The bulgogi itself was good but didn't have a very smoky flavor. It came with fried vegetable spring rolls, shumai and goon mandu. I didn't realize it came with the same appetizers we ordered but didn't mind as they were tasty. The only item we didn't care for were the spring rolls, which were mushy. The kimchi fried rice was ok, I'm not sure I'd get it again. I really enjoyed the goon mandu and would definitely order it again, it was crisp, the filling well seasoned and I especially loved the dipping sauce it came with. The shumai had an interesting spongy texture and nice shrimpy flavor which I enjoyed. Warning, the spicy sauce for the wings is not for the faint hearted! I was not prepared for that level of heat but if you enjoy really spicy food you'd like it. It was too much for me and my boyfriend who typically eats really spicy food. Thankfully, the sauce was on the side and the wings themselves were nice and crispy so we ate them without the sauce. The prices were reasonable and portions were large. I would definitely come back! read 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. read more

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. read more

Seoul K BBQ - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We love coming to Seoul for Korean BBQ. We've never had anything but the all you can eat, and they recently updated their menu with regular and premium meat options (for a few $$ more- it's worth it). They have some of the best appetizers- I love the potato salad and my absolute favorite- spicy peanuts. I can eat an entire dish of these on my own! The service is always great, you can ring a doorbell if you need help (or to order more!) and someone will be right over, otherwise they check on your periodically. My hot tip: cut up the meats as you put them on the grill. So much easier to grab pre-cut bites especially when you're on grilling duty! They will take reservations but we've never needed one! read more

Took 2 family members from Korea here... I was hoping it had improved since my last bad review... it hasn't. We wont be back. It is overpriced, the food is NOT good or authentic.. and the portions small for what you are paying. I even asked if they could bring some korean spice or Korean hot sauce (not gochuchang) to make a soup spicier for one family member and they offered a Mexican hot sauce... I asked someone who spoke Korean and she said she'd ask the manager and chef and we never had anything come... usually a good establishment would have the chef or manager come over and talk to us. Considering we were a party of 8 and paid a lot of money for this mean... customer service and food quality and quantity are not worth it. I'm not sure how it still had the high ratings it does. read more

Came back again to try their Jjampong while my hubby stuck with the Korean BBQ. We also added a seafood pancake and tofu stew, definitely more than enough for just the two of us! Everything was delicious and so satisfying. Our server was super friendly too, wish I remembered his name! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 2. Light crowd. Extremely clean restaurant area and rest room. Pleasant and attentive staff. No Korean beer, but multiple assorted Japanese beer. HUGE mandu dumplings and solid kimchi fried rice with spam and egg. Multiple private party rooms with tables with grills. Definitely worth a repeat visit. read more

Came in last Friday with my kiddos, they love Korean BBQ. We decided to try Seoul since our regular place Gen Korean BBQ House has gone down hill. Seoul was clean, service was good. The only thing I didn't really like is their very limited meat selection for the price. If you want more meat options you pay more. I guess I'm used to more seletions at other places. Either way the selections they had were good. I really don't like that some appetizers are under the premium price when it's included at other places. We will come back to try the sushi. read more

I will say their side dish and meats is a lil lacking. I enjoyed the soup and kimich. We mostly just ordered pork belly and ordered some lettuce and enjoyed it that way. This is not my option but me and my friends had a good time because I got worried of the previous reviews of food poisoning or sickness. read more

All you can eat meat??? Yes please!!!!! Took my best friend here for her birthday and oh my goodness!! We were in hog heaven! You first choose what all you can eat menu: A with a few appetizers and meats or B all appetizers and meats on the menu. Then you can add sushi for an additional price. They do have a rule that the table must order the same either A with or without sushi or B with or without sushi. They do have an à la cart menu. But that's for another time! We went slow and slowly ordered our food as any left overs you cannot take home and they will charge you $25 for any unfinished food. I like this rule as it prevents food waste of their high quality meats. The only exception to this rule are the automatic side dishes that you get, potato kimchi, regular kimchi, fish cake, acorn, jelly, eggplant, cucumber, spicy peppers, and spicy peanuts. We got white rice, gyoza, and bibim bap as appetizers. Then for our main meats we got marinated steak, spicy bulgogi, chicken, shrimp, pork belly. I very much enjoyed cooking my own food and the restaurant was very clean and a chill vibe. There were two downsides. The first was that they leave shell on the shrimp and they do not clean the vein of the shrimp... the second was our waitress wasn't very friendly and I felt like we were inconveniencing her, and then towards the end of our meal she left us alone for about 20 mins as we were trying to get our check. read more

Service was mixed. Our server was very nice, but we also waited a long time for anyone to acknowledge us (even after ringing the bell), while the table next to us came in 10 minutes later and was served immediately. The food was below average in our case. Mostly, I was disappointed paying $35 for spicy pork bulgogi that was burnt. It smelled strongly of burning the minute they placed it on the table and the bottom was all black. The sundubu jjigae was full of good ingredients but bland. The tangsuyuk was decent. That's the only one I would maybe order again. For banchan, I didn't like the kimchi but enjoyed most of the rest. The ambiance is good. It's nice that they offer a few different ayce options. read more

The place was not busy on a Saturday night about 8 pm. We didn't need to make reservations. It is a pretty large place though. The service was supremely slow and the place being less crowded we expected it to be better. Our server forgot our drink order. We reminded him twice. He forgot our dipping sauces when half way through the meal I requested it then he brought them over. In terms of food. It was a hit and miss. We like the thinly sliced beef and bulgogi. The spare ribs were ok. We didn't enjoy the two pork items at all. We are likely to try some other places in town before a revisit. read more

we ate at this restaurant was Part of our rotation for lunch, our experience several months ago and noticed the food was declining in flavor ~ we decided to give it another chance. However the service was slow and the waitress seemed inattentive, chatting with the other servers and we were the only ones there until other guests started to arrive, they promptly ordered received their side dishes immediately (part of the culture) and we still had not ordered, not even water. After flagging the server she said yes and your side dishes are coming. the side dishes were bland as if it had not been stirred just slapped on the dishes. When we got our main dish it was nicely presented however again very bland, the Korean hot sauce was provided and it had been diluted again no flavor. The food was fresh but not exciting as we remember it. Honestly, lunching out is a luxury these days. I approached the owners as we exited and commented on the food, her explanation was "people don't like salty food." ?? Rather than listening she defended. read more

Food is awful rice is old and stale, service is worse ! Sushi bar is closed when asked why , waiter acted like he couldn't say . My family was overcharged even though we ordered on the cheaper menu we were charged full price . Gratuity was automatically added for their very poor service . This place once upon a time was decent but now is disappointing. Will NOT go back . read more

We do love this place and come here for some holidays. The staff and everyone is always great. Please be advised that they no longer offer sushi and we were not made aware of this before hand. We specifically went there for sushi, but my daughter chose it because it also had bbq for those who don't eat sushi. She was very disappointed. The rest of the food and staff were great, but disappointing they didn't state before hand. read more

First time we ordered the plain pork belly and it had no flavor, we like to make lettuce wraps, most places will at least salt and pepper it, ordered it again with spicy and they did not mention on the menu that when you order the spicy apparently they marinate the pork in some sort of sweet marinade my husband does not like sweet pork, I called and asked why is it sweet and she acted like I was supposed to know since we ordered spicy that the pork is sweetly marinated? So then I asked well in the description on the menu it only list spicey, only after pausing for an awkward minute she said sorry and that was definitely not genuine. charged 3.50 for some sesame oil after spending close to 60 bucks we will never go back to this place again! Also bug on lettuce leaf I have already eaten a couple of these and gross just gross read more

Came from out of town and wanted to try some kbbq! Read some reviews and this was one of the best! We made a reservation and were seated really fast. The waiter was very helpful and fast. He moved really quick and got us everything we needed. He actually went above and beyond, coming in and out continuously to make sure our needs were met, so that was a huge plus! Food was pretty standard. I'm use to Houston KBBQ and this was pretty okay. My favorite thing was the pork jowl and LA galbi. If you're in the area or looking for some decent kbbq, idk definitely recommend this place! read more

What a surprise. It is quite difficult to find a good Korean restaurant in anywhere when I'm Korean because I become extra critical. I had AYCE today. When you do ayce, you have to lower your expectation on the quality of meat. But I was very impressed. The side dishes were excellent. (Kimchi was a bit overly fermented but that was okay). Meat quality wasn't bad at all. It was quite pricey considering that meats you can eat in AYCE are mostly pork rather than beef. Service was little slow than I expected. I loved that they have a 'bell' to ask for service but the server is quite slow even though it was a slow day I sat near the entrance so it was a bit casual and cold, but inside has better ambiance and slightly warmer as well. I accidentally found this place but I loved it read more

First experience. Easy to locate, lots of parking, huge BTS banner at the entry and lots of welcoming faces. Delicious high-quality AYCE food. Went for my son's birthday dinner and they did not disappoint! So many authentic, premium options, and the freshest sushi. Service was top-tier, professional, and engaging. Clean grill, kept checking in and our drinks were filled without having to waive someone over. On your birthday they offer a complimentary dessert so my son got a macaron ice cream sandwich that he absolitly enjoyed. I would highly rexommend. read more

We came when just a little after they opened! We walked in and waited a bit before we got greeted. Then we got seated at our table. It wasn't too long after we ordered did we get our meats. Fantastic flavor and aroma after cooking the meat. The resturant was clean, the server changed the plate as soon as she noticed it was getting dirty. I'll be back :) read more

Stopped by while on a work trip to Phoenix. I wanted Korean food and I didn't wanted a new restaurant I've never tried. The ban chan was ok. I guess im spoiled with some other spots ive dined at.

Seoul K BBQ - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Seoul BBQ & Sushi Korean BBQ on the west side of Phx. Located off of I-17 next to Pappadeaux Limited selection of meats which, were fine with us. I prefer the marinated meats like Bulgogi or Kalbi . My kids like the brisket which are normally a thin rolled up tasteless meat which totally needs to be used with the oils and sauces. Cook your own meats, veggies and seafood, try to separate tongs with raw meat and cooked meats. One thing they didn't have was the steamed egg which we were disappointed. The service was good, quick in taking our order and bringing it out. Portions seemed to be on the smaller side with the size of the bowls and plates the food came out in. read more
