Ramen wasn't good. Ramen noodles were overcooked. Like extremely overcooked. Tasted like your run of mill packaged instant noodle. But broth was luke warm. It might've of been room temperature warm. Anyway appetizers were great but main dishes were not where it was at. read more

So good! Her menu always changes. I had the Bibimbap with beef it was so good! Can't wait to try the ramen one day! They have sake and local beers too the owner is the sweetest lady! Can not WAIT to try again!!! read more

Seoul Kitchen - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Stopped in for lunch again on my way back to the city from Hudson, NY. The owner suggested I try the buffet today to allow me the opportunity to try new dishes. Great call! I ate some delicious Japchae, scallion pancakes, a beef dish with veggies, and a wonderful burdock dish. There is a Korean saying that suggests the coarser the food the longer you live. Well I am hooked on burdock now. I had to order the kimchi mandu dumplings. I of course had rice which was perfectly cooked and moist. I washed this down with hot green tea which was the best way to finish a spectacular meal. Beacon has a really cool Main Street that is not far from Dia Beacon. There are wonderful cafes, gastropubs, Korean Restaurant, dim sum, vegan cafes, and a hops beer making store. Not bad. read more

So glad I decided to go here on a whim. It was authentic, fresh and so tasteful. The owner explained the menu thoroughly and recommended things based on what we said we preferred. Each dish hit the spot. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is a hidden gem. My girlfriend and I decided to give it try because we were nearby. We were absolutely blown away. The restaurant has a very nice, clean, warm vibe. The women that works there is an angel. It was our first time there, so she explained all of the dishes to us and which ones were most popular. We got the seaweed rolls, bibimbap, and the kimchi pork. Honestly, I wish we ordered more because it was all so incredibly delicious. Definitely give this place a try! We will be back soon! read more

Went here with a friend after another place we checked out was close. We meet the owner of the restaurant and she took time explaining the menu. The food was so terrific, couldn't get enough it was so good. read more

I just had lunch there and it was delicious! I also enjoyed that the place felt clean, like scrubbed. It's nice to notice such a thing in a world that most times offers something less.The little lady, the proprietor,fed our bodies with her food and our spirits with her huge personality. read more

Cozy nice place, Delicious foods and Nice owner!! The taste was so gentle for my body. They made us feel at home! Definitely I recommend here and I wanna come back again!! read more

Want a quick tag line for a review? Overpriced and Seoul-less. Want to read on? Go ahead. You'll be enlightened as to why I just trashed your favorite new eatery in Newburgh. I'm not certain if they cater to the palette of the demographic who can actually afford the menu but to be honest I've had more flavor come from Korean family kitchens than this place has. Sheesh, I got brown rice served to me by a Korean woman, so you know she's playing up to the "crowd." What "crowd" do you speak of oh wise reviewer? Do you mean the same crowd that whitewashes every ethnic cuisine because their parents' palettes were basic AF and lacked the culinary insight to raise their children in a multicultural kitchen? But I digress... Let's talk Seoul's menu. $15 for what appears to be an appetizer plate of under seasoned, lackluster and possibly frozen Bulgogi, along with a small serving of brown rice. Hold on. Meat with brown rice? Served hand over fist to an Asian? I damn near lost my mind for a hot second. I looked around to see if anyone caught that but no Asians were in the vicinity to witness or even understand the shame. I wanted to ask the nice lady if I looked like the type of Asian whose palette has been whitewashed and rendered tasteless by American culture? Doesn't she know that I need my white rice dammit!!! Where was I? The menu. $13 for Dumpling Soup in which the broth has minimal flavor (unless you like sipping lukewarm briny seaweed flavored water) and an offering of six dumplings that are decent in bite but passable in flavor. Supposedly, the Kimchi dumplings are homemade but at 3 for $7.50 the hint of freezer burn makes it a regrettable buy that you should definitely avoid. I even begged for some kind of sauce to elevate the dumpling but the lady insisted that I eat it without any because it's the "Korean" way. Unfortunately, every entree is priced at $12-$15 but portioned like appetizers. Overall, there are under 10 items on the menu and it appears that they are figuring out what sells and what doesn't with the crowd that comes in. I ordered three items and I cashed out at $40 and change! The menu is obscenely overpriced for no reason. But that's the price we pay for a little authenticity. Seriously, that could've been money well spent on a Target run. What's even worse? You finish your meal completely unsatisfied knowing that you could easily make the same meal with some Trader Joe's gyozas, Thai sweet chili sauce, and fresh Bulgogi from a Korean supermarket served over fresh delicious white rice. All for less than $40 dollars. Since Newburgh does not have any other Asian eateries, asides for Japanese (shout out to Akasaka), we often are quick to accept a spot like Seoul Kitchen as an alternative to satisfy our craving for the "authenticity" that NYC has to offer at every corner. "But reviews for Seoul Kitchen are great! Four stars! How dare you berate our upstart little Korean Kitchen" says the daring transplant who stumbled into the city of Newburgh on their way to Kingston for some hipster, vinyl-only night, German techno throwback, craft brewery, spoken word, tech meet-up, pseudo intellectual soirée. Remember, these are the same folk whose measure of "authenticity" is based on what their favorite social media influencer's last food post was. Yeah I said it but you know it's true, so kick rocks. And I bet if rocks were trending as a delicacy, you would eat it too. Then you will proceed to make a self-indulgent post, with a perfectly composed pic of your $125 dollar plate of Volcanic Breccia with a side of fresh Poke, using a some kind of high contrast faded film filter, while captioning some semi-woke aspirational quote you stole from somebody who jacked it from someone less original but are as equally as irrelevant as you. That's a little much, I must admit. All in all, I really hope Seoul Kitchen gets their flavor, pricing and portions in order otherwise this will be another good idea that will be gone in six months. Because we all know that Newburgh needs more options like this to keep its revitalization going. read more

Fabulous local Korean food, the bibimbap and ramen are amazing, love the atmosphere. The owner is so sweet and personable she came over to our table after we were done eating to make sure our meal was enjoyable. Will definitely be going back again :) read more

The food is outstanding and the owner is so kind and friendly. We had no idea what to order and she patiently explained the entire menu to us. We ended up getting the kimchi dumplings, the bibimbap, spicy rice cakes, and ramen. EVERYTHING was delicious and clearly authentic and made from scratch. We will definitely be back! read more

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

This place was so amazing!! Everything we tried was DELICIOUS! My whole family loved it. We are totally coming back! Everyone should try this place. We got the Kimchi dumplings and they were fantastic. For my meal I got the Spicy Rich Cakes and omg they were super good. I can just tell this is real authentic Korean food. DEFINITELY COME HERE! Also the owner is super sweet and nice, she was amazing. She was a super friendly owner! read more

We had takeout, and it was delicious. The food was made to order and very fresh. Try the seaweed rolls. They are fantastic! The menu may be daunting to the uninitiated, but the owner was happy to describe the food for us. The service also was attentive and pleasant. We will be returning many times in the future I predict. read more

As a Korean who brought a non Korean family for their first "wonderful" Korean cuisines experience, I was quite embarrassed as I had to deal with the rudest lady owner. Food was salty, portions almost nonexistent, overly priced and most disappointing was the crass service. The gentleman (assuming he is the husband) tried to troubleshoot the tensions between me and his wife. I would never go back or recommend. For the sake of our guests, I had to bite down my tongue and not walk out. The lady was cursing her breath and she embarrassed me as this is not our culture. Shame on her for running her business in this manner. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious and authentic. Not only is the food amazing but the people were just so kind. If you want authentic Korean food I definitely recommend. I'm vegan and they have plenty of dishes to choose! This will be one of my staples read more

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the tteok-bokki with mild spice and it was perfect!! The kimchi dumplings were also fried to perfection! They also managed to cook the entire order relatively quickly and remained fresh until I got home! I am looking forward to trying out other items on the menu in the near future. I would definitely recommend this food spot to anyone! :) read more

This place looks promising from the outside with a beautiful exterior in a city that is transforming into a beautiful place with lots to do and see. The inside is a little spartan and the host offers to introduce me to the menu, which made me wonder if they had certain options and if it was a complex array from which you could choose from. Nope. It's pretty straightforward, only a few options available. I went for the dumpling soup with rice cakes and was surprised at the scanty portion. It also does NOT come with kimchi - I had to expressly request it and would have been charged if I hadn't spit it out. More on that in a bit. Six dumplings for almost $13? Yes, they tasted homemade, and the pork dumpling was one of the best I've ever had - but that was two dumplings out of six. The menu doesn't explain that the dumplings are three different kinds - meat, kimchi, and vegetable. You may want to label that on your menu for people with dietary restrictions.....The vegetable one is some type of kale with sesame oil but the oil tasted rancid. The kimchi dumpling was also terrible and not cooked for long enough to take off the edge of overripe kimchi. The kimchi served alongside most Korean meals should be pickled properly and served when it's tastes best. Once it goes past its peak pickle-y prime, kimchi is typically used in soups or stews because it's sharper acrid flavor mellows with heat and complements accompanying flavors quite nicely. The kimchi that was served fresh alongside my meal was HORRIBLE. I enjoy trying lots of different foods and have a fairly wide palate for most flavors. Actually I've been teased that I have a lead stomach because I will eat pretty much anything. But this was horrendous. It was overripe and just...salty - completely lacking on the delicious umami goodness that shrimpy fermentation gives you. I have NEVER spit out food at a restaurant, and I really tried to eat it, but I couldn't. For pickle lovers - imagine eating slimy or oversalted pickles. It's just such a letdown. This dish should NEVER have made it's way out of the kitchen. It was not only made poorly, completely effing up it's flavor profile, but it wasn't even timed right in terms of when to be served. It's like getting a burger with rancid ketchup on it and alongside it for your meal. This is the core and bedrock of everything that is sacred in Korean cooking. DO NOT SERVE BAD KIMCHI. This must be what was in the dumplings. That, and I wasn't offered any water. Yes, that is pretty common in Korean families to not serve water with dinner, or simply drink water out of your empty rice bowl after dinner. But NOT in a restaurant that was charging as much as this one is. Also - the decor was actually terrible. For such a rich and ancient culture, hanging up fake lavender flowers in the window is pretty offensive. The Korean pictures on the wall were cheap and along the same vein as the pictures in the calendars in my Chinese takeout. (Which is a hole in the wall and freaking delicious!) So, bad overpriced food, terrible decor, but pleasant owner? Step up your game. This is NOT good Korean food. Basically paid $13 for two delicious dumplings. I'm better off heading over to HMart and grabbing some several dozen frozen dumplings. This was atrocious. read more

Fantastic food, ambiance, and service. The owner is so accommodating for any and all requests. And she's extremely polite and respectful. I can't say enough about how great of a place this truly is. read more

This place blew my mind. So good the seaweed rolls were something I never had before and there were a treat! The woman running the place was so kind and helpful when figuring out what to get. Delicious and I can't wait to come back! read more

Delicious food and charming owner/chef. Enjoyed our meal very much and loved the beautiful garden.

Beyond the food being wonderful, the owner is friendly and engaging-- there is substance beyond simply the food. The atmosphere, from the physical environment to the personal interactions, makes this place a beautiful and elegant surprise that many people simply do not know about. One of my most enjoyable places to sit down and eat. read more

Very simple but nice atmosphere. The kimchi dumplings were delicious and the bibimbap was high quality. The cook and owner is very friendly and bright-- it was a little slow around 3pm when we ate and she was a real pleasure to talk with. read more

The nicest couple and the sweetest service. Their menu is very simple but their food packs a punch full of great flavor.

The lady here refused me service when I wanted to just buy a Korean soda drink. She said, we don't sell drinks, we are a restaurant, and proceeded to cover the fridge in front of me. Very strange attitude. read more

Ordered two bibimbaps (1 veggie, 1 beef). I'm giving it two stars because the food was ready when I came to pick it up, but that was the only positive. The portions were very small, like they were for children. The bowl was only have full of food and the part of it that did contain food was 75% very dry rice. The egg on top was pretty raw, the white wasn't cooked through. Very overpriced, we felt ripped off that it was $30 for two tiny bowls of rice. Customer service was also quite lacking. read more

Soul food from Seoul. Made with home made love. Really enjoyed the Bimbimbap. Much success to this place.

Overpriced ramen and you definitely don't get enough food for what you pay for. There was hardly any meat in the bowl. Mostly broth and noodles and not much at that. Giving this establishment two stars because the kimchi dumplings were pretty tasty. read more

Going to write something short, something sweet. Something that works. You will want to click my useful tab on yelp when you finish your meal, YOUR HERE FOR THE KIMCHI DUMPLINGS! Bam read more

The parking is okay but due to the city. But over al the food is great and soju even better read more

Took my partner here for Valentine's dinner and the experience was so much more than what we could have imagined! Food was excellent, fresh and definitely home cooked! We had the bibimbap and the Korean dumpling both excellent. But the best part of this place is Hiwon! She was such a sweetheart and felt easily at ease as if we were being entertained in her own kitchen. She was super motherly and even offered to drive us to the train station! Love love this woman! Will definitely come back for the warmth and the food! read more

So I really didn't want to give three stars but I need to be honest. The owner is super duper nice and passionate about what she does. We came here cause we really wanted ramen. As our first time being here we didn't realize ramen isn't served when Korean bbq is served on s friday. It is only served after 10pm. A little disappointed but the Korean bbq caught our attention. We sat out back and the waiter came out to bbq large ribs. I was a little disappointed when the plates came out cause I had two ribs and be hot three. Maybe it's because there's more meat on mine so it evens out. We ordered sake and a beer with our order. The bill came out to about $50 plus change and I must say we were both still hungry. Portions weren't enough to fill us up and for the price i feel like it should. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Seoul...but time was an issue so I got mine grab and go. The owner/chef is super sweet...the food is yummy but lacks something in the presentation department. Good ethnic food in molded containers for sit in service should be illegal. The menu changes so be prepared. Verrrrrry veggie friendly, Wahoo! I will definitely go back, but for ambiance I'll stick with To Go. As prices go...just a little steep for local...but the place is small...and I am sure that has something to do with buying power ($$$). So lets help give this place a go! read more

The place is very small, space for maybe 10 people. It is good then that the owners are so kind and interesting. They shared stories with us and listened to our own. They even offered to make special requests since we knew some other traditional dishes. The whole experience felt like going over to someone's house and them cooking authentic food for you. The food was good and tasted pretty authentic. We had two options when we arrived: ordering entrees or the "buffet". The entree of the day sounded good, but we wanted to try more things from the buffet. The "buffet" was more of a fill your plate and pay by weight, which I was more than fine with. The cost came out to be very reasonable. The buffet had about 7 food choices on them, most being vegetarian friendly, and a few drink choices or extras we could get. All of the food tasted fairly fresh. We'll be back to try again, I'm sure. read more

The lady who run this place is the real sell - she's so spunky, excited at the prospect of you having her food from the moment you walk in. There are only about four tables and you can see right into the kitchen where she cooks it up after you verbally order, which is to say choose between the 3 dishes that make up her "menu" the night we went: bibimbap (meatless), tofu jjigae, and kimchi dumplings. There were photos of these three dishes strung up with clothespins along her window, which she flipped in order to talk us through what she could offer us. The other option was a small buffet with some meat options, priced per pound. With no idea of the cost or anything we just went with it, because she was so eager and sincere. While showing us around her menu, she also pointed out a local newspaper article about herself, framed - it tells her whole story of how she came to the States and found herself moving up in Beacon with her husband (who came in to ring us up later, I guess you could call this mom and pop!), where friends around town convinced her to channel her enthusiasm into this spot. All in all it was perhappps 10% less food than would have made both of us really satisfied, but a tasty and fun meal regardless. read more

Perfect food. Rad staff. Killer owner. Get your dumb hip idiot butts across the river and eat. But go back and don't ruin Newburgh too. read more

Four of us came for a late lunch and were quickly seated by the chef/owner/bottle washer. Rather than give us menus, she told us about the 3 appetizers, 3 entrees and the dessert she had available. We ordered a large jar of kimchi, pan fried kimchi dumplings, bulgogi, bibimbap, and spicy tofu. Everything was flavorful and freshly made, just as it should be. read more

Seoul Kitchen - Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Newburgh, New York

We went in the afternoon, seems to be pretty quiet during the day but don't let that discourage you. You'll be greeted warmly by the sweetest woman and she'll make you feel right at home. Ramen was not available at that time but it seems to be a weekend night deal. The food was amazing and the hospitality was better than what we expected. If you want to chat with a local, this is the place for you. I'm so happy we visited this restaurant. Give it a try! read more

Good, homestyle Korean cooking on Main street in Beacon. Amazing braised radishes. Good soup. The kimchi was too salty for my taste. Decent bulgogi. Priced by the pound. Seems to be owned and operated by the cook herself, which is probably why all the dishware is styrofoam or plastic. That would be my biggest quibble. But the owner is such a sweetheart, I'd go back despite the styrofoam. read more

It's disappointing to love Korean food and eat here. The small portions are tasty, with mostly rice and few vegetables, ($13.99 for a bowl or rice with a few bean sprouts and an egg) pricey for what is served. I would like to give a better review because the owner seems like a really nice woman. Hopefully through this review she can consider some changes and improve. read more

Cute and quiet restaurant to enjoy a nice meal. Personally love the bibimbap, bulgogi, and pork ramen. Food comes out fast, service is attentive. read more
