    This is what linner time looks like!
    Gary B.

    Got into Eugene in the late afternoon after a long drive and found Seoul K-food via Yelp. I arrived too late for lunch but too early for dinner so the restaurant was unusually empty. When I was on the way out several groups were walking in. Also, they did a steady amount of takeout while I was eating. The restaurant is clearly popular. And deservedly so, my spicy beef bulgogi plate was on point...I mostly remember the beef being very tender. I also like the accompany banchan. I also ordered a steamed egg, which was light and fluffy in texture! Go good. Service was good, never had to ask for a water refill which I appreciated. Very much enjoyed my "linner" at Seoul K food and will remember returning when I come back to town.

    Unassuming on the outside but bright and welcoming in the inside. Came here to check out the lunch buffet and it was all very flavorful and fresh. Staff was friendly and checked in on what was being eaten more at the time and asked us what we liked most so it would be made fresh(er) for our next refill. My favorites were the fried tofu, spicy pork, and seaweed soup. I checked out their menu and didn't opt to get anything this time but the options all look good too! Will definitely be back to try them out.

    Very spacious and comfortable. A fine dining experience.

    This excellent Korean restaurant was a wonderful surprise. Our kids fell in love with the extensive authentic menu and suggested we try the place. You'd never know how comfortable and inviting Seoul K is unless you stop in. It is impressive. The owners and staff are wonderful too. Very attentive, nice people. Best of all the food is great. We ordered from the menu. Great choices. There is also a lunch buffet we will try next time. It looked scrumptious. From the outside you'd think this was a fast food restaurant. It is not. We intend to be regulars here. Try it you'll like it very much.

    Their food is good. We got the special combo 1 with beef bulgogi and soondubu, tteokbokki, japchae, mandu, and chicken gangjeong.

    Excellent. Stopped in before they opened and they weren't because they only open early on weekends. Nice lady came out to car and told us they would fix us up with the bibimbap that we wanted. Excellent and friendly service. Nice clean restaurant. Food was awesome. Highly recommend!

    Coming from Houston, I was beginning to wonder if I'd find a Korean restaurant that made me feel at home. Seoul K-Food has done the trick! The food was delicious. There is a wide variety of different Korean specialties, like tofu and kimchi soup, kimchi or green onion pancakes, tteok-bokki, bulgogi, bimbap, and more. Banchan for all! We loved everything we ate here - although I do wish spicy really meant spicy in this town! Parking is plentiful, and the inside is spacious for a group of any size. The service was quick and very friendly. I hear their lunch special are even more of a bang for your buck with big portions at relatively low prices!

    Holy yum!! Don't let the outside of the place fool you. It may look like a shady, strip mall, give you diarrhea place, but it's not! The inside was super clean and the host/waitress was so kind! The menu had so many options it was hard to choose! We ended up with chicken dumplings, green onion pancakes, ramen and bibimbap. Everything was delicious! Wish I took more pictures. Highly recommend!

    Korean food mixed with breakfast? Heck yeah. Food was great. Spicy pork and the bulgogi were great and the sides were fresh and tasty too.

    Kimchi jjigae
    Chris M.

    What's there to say? It's good, fairly inexpensive Korean food, complete with banchan and K-Pop on all the TVs! The soondubu and kimchi jjigae are very good, hitting all the flavor notes that I'm looking for. Especially as the weather is cooling down, spicy Korean soup is perfect.

    Enjoyed my lunch buffet - decent selection with good flavors. Wished there was some beef bulgogi or otherwise

    There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.

    Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

I will also say, I worked in restaurants for almost 8 years and I am VERY understanding of costs and the possibilities of off days. But this place is honestly ridiculous. First of all, I did a to-go order, so my review is completely about that experience, the food, and the cost. I do not have a review of the service. $18 dollars for a breakfast burrito sounded crazy, but since it was my bad not checking the prices, I went through with it. The food was not at all worth $18. It was bland and soggy, not moist or juicy from the sausage, just soggy. The flavor of the sausage was good but other than that the burrito was completely bland. The home fries on the side were pretty tasty but I didn't even want them and would've preferred them inside the burrito or not included at all for a lower price. My main reason for leaving 1 star and not maybe 2 or even 3 is that they charge a 10% gratuity on to-go orders which, to me, is unacceptable. I generally tip about that much on my own for to-go (20-35% if I eat in for people who think I'm awful lol), but given the food is ridiculously overpriced I was unsure if I would this time. Them making that decision for me without any heads up ensures I will never come back here again. A small note on ambience; the place is stinky. As I said, I didn't sit down so take this with a grain of salt, but when I walked in I was blasted with a musty and kind of dirty smell that would've had me not wanting to stay for a meal. I honestly feel bad writing this review but this place does not deserve the communities continued business unless they SERIOUSLY up their game. I don't believe I will ever be back but hopefully they improve and actually live up to the 4.1 rating that they have. There are many, many better tasting and more affordable options throughout Eugene, even places with much lower ratings.

My breakfast from the Hay Y'all food truck in Eugene arrived with promise, and in many ways, it delivered. The flavors were thoughtful, deliberate, and undeniably well executed. The pecan-crusted chicken was juicy, its crust confident and well seasoned. The French toast was rich without excess. The biscuits were fluffy and deeply comforting, and the gravy--pepper-forward yet restrained--was balanced precisely to my taste. This is food made by someone who understands flavor. And yet, cuisine is not merely flavor. It is temperature, proportion, and expectation meeting reality. Despite picking up my order immediately and driving no more than two minutes home, nearly everything arrived lukewarm--hovering uncomfortably between hot and forgotten. This was the single greatest disappointment, as warmth would have elevated every component substantially. Food like this begs to be eaten hot, not merely remembered as such. Portion size, particularly for the pecan-crusted chicken and French toast, also fell short of what had been promised--if not verbally, then visually. Online images suggest generosity: three, sometimes four pieces of chicken. My plate held two, both smaller than expected. The price remains reasonable, but I would gladly pay slightly more to receive portions that align with those expectations. The accompanying fruit, while a pleasant gesture, felt miscast. Tart strawberries and under-ripe pineapple did little to complement the dish. In January, this is forgivable--but perhaps a preserve or jam would serve the plate better, offering harmony rather than contrast. And yet, I find myself conflicted. Because despite these shortcomings, the food is good. More than good. It is thoughtful, balanced, and clearly prepared with care. With accurate portioning and food served properly hot, this meal would easily earn four, perhaps even five stars. I know this. For that reason, while my immediate, emotional reaction rests closer to a three or three-and-a-half out of five, I am rating this experience a four out of five stars. The quality of the cooking warrants generosity, even when execution falters. I was there very early, right at opening, and I recognize that busy mornings can challenge even capable kitchens. I will return. Not out of optimism, but out of confidence--because when food is this well conceived, it deserves another chance to be served as intended.
