My husband and I went here in the fall and sat outside. We tried to go to dinner at the waterfront in Newburgh but it was packed and there was zero parking. We drove down Liberty Street and decided to give Seoul Kitchen a try since we found parking and it was not crowded. A lovely Korean women owns, operates and cooks the food here. Everything is homemade and delicious and very authentic. I had amazing noodle soup with perfect Korean spices and I was able to get my dish made vegan. I would highly recommend this restaurant and have to get back soon. The outside seating in the backyard was very cute and charming and had a nice vibe. read more

Food was way overpriced for a small portion and was not fresh at all and had a small menu

Very welcoming owner and you can tell the food was made with love. Ambiance overall felt authentic! This was a cute little place in downtown. read more

Seoul Kitchen - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Ive been wanting to try this for several years and never got around to it. Heard amazing things about it. Honestly I was a little disappointed. The owner was super nice we were the only ones in there I won't say we were ignored but I wouldn't say she necessarily rolled out the red carpet either. It was confusing to us if we ordered upfront or if we should take a seat she didn't really instruct us on what to do how to order etc. I thought the food and the flavors were really good but not worth the price anymore. Portion size is pretty small especially for the price. We had bulgogi and a beef bibimbap . The bibimbap was $17, but the bulgogi was $25 and def not worth it. I'm certainly glad I got to try it but I'm not sure I would be back at least not on a regular basis. If I could give half stars it would actually be 3 1/2 but I had to round up to 4. read more

Seoul kitchen is one of my favorite spots in Newburgh. If you're looking for a home-cooked, authentic Korean restaurant, this is the place. The owner is so sweet, and helps you learn how to enjoy the cuisine as it's intended. The back porch is always a great spot to enjoy your meal with friends when the weather is nice. read more

Seoul Kitchen - Ramen ( Large) and Bibimbap with Beef - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I wouldn't peg Liberty Street in Newburgh, NY as a place where I'd find one of the best Korean meals I've tried, but here we are. On the corner of Liberty and Spring sits a wonderful establishment serving up delicious and authentic Korean fare at very reasonable prices. I've walked and driven past Seoul Kitchen countless times but never had a chance to try their food, but I'm glad I finally did. Family owned and operated, this is as homey a place as you can find anywhere. The decor is minimal but welcoming and the backyard is the stuff of dreams. I dined solo and loved every moment and every bite sitting outside on a perfect 70 something day with a nice breeze to keep things comfortable. The kimchi dumplings and seaweed rolls are a must and they there's plenty of vegetarian, seafood, and meat options to choose from for entrees. I opted for the eel over rice, which I loved, but I can see myself trying something new and loving it when I get around to trying it. The owner was very kind and helpful and it was so nice to have her tear a few perilla leaves off a plant and add it to my entree because it took things to a whole other level. Asian fare that isn't for American palettes is hard to come by in the Hudson Valley, so it's a real blessing to have a place like Seoul Kitchen, which offers guests the warmth, generosity and comfort of well cooked Korean food so close by. Highly recommended! read more

This place would deserve a five just for the fact that while I was there it was only one person who greeted me took my order and served me all the while smiling and keeping up a light conversation until my food arrived. The food was fantastic. I have maybe been to nine or ten other ramen shops and my experience in most was greasy, overly salted broth. Not the case here. Although a little salty it did not overpower it and there was NO GREASE at all in the very tasty broth. I ordered the vegetable ramen and the kimchi pan fried dumpling and both were great. It's a small but neatly kept place I guessing when it is closer to dinner hour she isn't working alone because there is indoor and outdoor seating for maybe forty people. If you're nearby and want to try some really well made ramen, in my opinion, this is probably the best choice within 25 miles read more

Seoul Kitchen - Kimchi Dumpling - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

The owner is absolutely lovely and made us feel like we were visiting an old friend rather than visiting the restaurant for the first time. We came in on a Thursday early evening with my two small boys and made us feel at home right away. The food was absolutely delicious- kimchi dumplings and veggie ramen were amazing! My boys devoured the teriyaki chicken with vegetables and mochi ice cream. If we lived closer, we'd visit all the time. A gem- do not miss it! read more

The food, ambiance and conversation really felt authentic and like I was at my friend's aunt's house. Food was good, I got the kimchi dumplings - it had the right crunch, taste and texture. My husband got the pork ramen and stated that it was the best he's had, I got the veggie ramen and it was so fresh, delicious and had the right amount of spice! The owner was friendly and genuinely nice. read more

Finally got to try Seoul Kitchen and it was really good. Tried the pork ramen and kimchi dumplings. Both were excellent. Especially loved the kimchi dumplings. Great portions for the price too. Sat outside in the lovely backyard patio. Excellent personal service. read more

COVID-19 UPDATE: Seoul Kitchen is a gem, and provides an eclectic lil "spice" to our diverse city! Without this quaint, unassuming corner spot right across from Washington's HQ, our neighborhood would lose something special. Korea has been called the "Land of Morning Calm," and indeed Seoul Kitchen - with its dark wood benches and ancient scrolls on the walls - provides a nurturing spot of refuge for all of us in the Hudson Valley. For the past 9 months, Hee-Won has been faithfully making each piping hot dish for her customers, even when not allowed to seat them - During those times when indoor seating was banned, she has been happy to bring the orders curbside, or will even deliver the food herself if she has the time (and if the grubhub driver will take too long). She's a force of Nature and she stops at nothing to feed her customers! PLEASE help Hee-Won keep the lights on as we endure the "last gasp" of this pandemic before the vaccines do their job! Call the restaurant directly to place an order, or if you must- she's on grubhub! The restaurants make considerably less on grubhub orders (after the fees she sometimes breaks even, which is crazy) - but Hee-Won is available for ALL her hungry customers and she appreciates all support! Thank you to the Newburgh community, for helping our small businesses stay alive -- and MOKJA! read more

All in all, solid 4 stars, and would come back again. Ambience: Came here late August evening for dinner, no dining in yet due to Covid-19. You wouldn't know there's outdoor dining unless you walked inside through the back. The restaurant felt very homey like I've walked into someone's grandparents place, and grandma is cooking. The outside area is the cutest and coziest place with hanging string lights. It was pretty and made it super relaxing on a quiet night. Staff: there were only 2 people working when we arrived. Unsure if both are owner. But 1000% agreed with other reviewers on the cute lady who cooks/prepares the food once we placed the order. Incredibly friendly and very cute. Food: ordered the kimchi dumplings, seaweed roll, and tofu pot. Gave us brown rice which made it healthier. All items were freshly cooked. 1. The kimchi dumpling were good, though wished it had even more kimchi in the filling. 2. Seaweed roll was very unique and tasty; it's japchae wrapped inside a sheet of seaweed and then flash fried. Crunchy on the outside, soft and spicy on the inside. Yum. Best of all, both the dumplings and the roll are homemade. Would get both again. 3. Lastly, I was incorrectly expecting the typical soondubu soft tofu stew; however, seems I have ordered a different type of soup because the tofu wasn't quite the soft tofu and the soup was closer to a ramen broth. read more

I came here so ready to love it, I even told someone I met that day about it because I was so excited to support this business. The woman who I assume owns the place was pretty aggressive and rude, when we were trying to be polite and patient. We asked if it was too late to change an order, she said yes, so we said okay, no problem! Then our food came out and it was a mixup. Okay, miscommunication, we were not upset at all, not asking for a fight, and she stood on the porch shouting at us saying she was right and we are wrong. We quickly said okay, we must have misspoken no worries! We would have simply paid for a third dish, giving her more business, but at this point I just wanted to eat and leave. We were also getting eaten alive by mosquitos in the backyard. Also sad to say, the food we ate did not had much flavor at all, and there was barely any beef in the bimimbap. I really want to support small business, especially female Asian owned, but this was not a good experience, in fact, one of the worst I've had in a very long time. If anything, order to go, although the prices are high for the small serving sizes. But avoid engaging with this woman (she had a server but wouldn't let him do his job). Also small suggestion: if customers order at the front, make customers pay for their meal FIRST. That way, no confusion, and if we want to change, too bad! We paid for it and we know what we ordered. And so you do. It's on a receipt. If we want something else, we can pay for it. OR let your server seat their customers and let them order through the middle person who's job is to make the experience enjoyable and smooth. Let the chef focus on making the food the best quality possible. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but I was practically dying of hunger so I decided to pop in. This place is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall. The menu changes from time to time, but since I didn't know what to order, Hee-Won told me exactly what I wanted to get. She recommended the Bibimbap with beef. She took my order, told me there was seating outside, and told me my food would be ready soon. In about 5 minutes, she presented to me the most beautiful plate of colors and scents. Wow... words cannot describe the taste, but I will try my best. Fantastic aroma, spicy, and crunchy, it was exactly what I wanted, and I have never had authentic Korean food before. Not much else to say other then check this place out for yourself. You won't regret the choice. I will visit again the next time I'm in the area. Worth every penny. -Alex read more

What a yummy experience!!! It was my wife's choice and I'm glad she chose it! The food was delicious and the Host/owner/chef is the cutest little thing we ever did see. She was so sweet, chatted us up and made us feel at home. Plan on definitely bringing others to visit. read more

Cute little place! Hee-Won is such a lovely gracious host and tremendous chef! I told her I am vegan and she accommodated my preferences without hesitation. My beau and I ordered the kimchi dumplings; he had the large pork ramen and I had the large vegetable ramen. We loved everything! (P.S: I was scared the large might be too big for me, but both he and I ate all our bowl! A good size portion for an empty stomach. ) Highly recommend, will be going back!! read more

The lady at the register was so rude. When we were asking questions about the menu and food, she gave us attitude. Kept repeating YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT RAMEN IS! YOU KNOW LIKE RAMEN NOODLE SOUP. I was flabbergasted by her response to a customer who was just asking questions since it was our first time there. We walked right out. Never going back. read more

Passing through I-84, we wanted to take a lunch break. Google map spotted this one, which is conveniently located I-84 and Yelp rating was decent. Well, all I can say about this place is, "DO NOT GO, DO NOT EAT" if you are an Asian, you will vomit afterwards. I am very disappointed at YELP, but it is not YELP's fault but who does not know about Korean Foods. On top of that, it is very expensive, service is very coarse. Do not even serve a glass of water. If did, I should not have drink anyway. I did not want to give even one star. But this site forced me. read more

Ok to all my beacon and Newburgh friends This place is fantastic the tables in the back are a little wobbly but it is beautiful back here . The food is absolutely amazing we each had Ramen with pork and before hand had kimchi dumplings and seaweed rolls . If you do not try this place you are truly missing out on great food and fantastic service ( ours was by the owner and cook ) The yard makes you forget where you are . Do yourself a huge favor and give it a try . I am sure you will not be disappointed read more

They did not allow my girlfriend and I to split a bowl at lunch, so we were pressured into buying dumplings too. Happy we did, the dumplings saved the meal. Bibimbap bowl w/beef was 90% rice with almost no beef to be found. Ambiance was ok... it was rainy so unable to take advantage of the outside patio. read more

Great family spot to eat my favorite food: Ramen!!! I go here about once a month with my friends. We all order ramen. I order mine spicy and it really kicks! Tears running down my face by the time I'm done. Very flavorful! If you would like ramen, call ahead because there are only certain hours and days that it's made. read more

Seoul Kitchen - Bibimbap with Beef - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Really well prepared Korean food. Kimchi Dumplings and Seaweed Wraps were delicious. I had bulgogi and wife had ramen. I thought the bulgogi was excellent although portion a little small for $21. Wife said ramen was spicy and very good. My only gripes are no online menu, not enough selection of traditional Korean dishes, and high prices for what you get. I frequently eat Korean in Manhattan and the prices are similar. Shouldn't be in a small somewhat run down restaurant in Newburgh. read more

Me and my friends come here often at night for Ramen. I love this place and the atmosphere. The owner is very friendly she makes you feel like at home. I always order my soup very spicy and it's always made fresh. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in her food and it shows!! read more

Seoul Kitchen - Medium spicy ramen! - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I was disappointed with this experience. We've been meaning to stop in because friends have raved about Seoul Kitchen, so after seeing a historical reenactment at Washington's Headquarters for President's Day we walked across to grab a quick snack. It was 2:30, so of the 7 tables only 2 were being occupied. We ordered the kimchi dumplings to split, and we were a bit taken aback when the woman at the register said "I have a very small restaurant here. I don't let people just order an appetizer". I replied with "oh I'm sorry, we just knew it was mid afternoon and saw most tables were free so we wanted to try the dumplings". She told us that this time was fine but we can't do that again. The dumplings were good, but it was altogether an off-putting experience. Won't be back. read more

Had a yummy meal here! The owner is very pleasant, sweet and attentive. We had the kimchi dumplings, crispy seaweed to start and for entrees: pork ramen, eel over rice, kimchi pork with rice. Everything was delicious . Will be back to try the other dishes. Definitely recommend!! read more

I want to do everything I can to support this Hee-Won and Seoul Kitchen because it is that important to the Newburgh community. read more
