    Udon noodle with chicken
    Tara M.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants, we come here all the time. We have our favorites and then try something new every once in a while. 10/10!

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi
    Gauravi P.

    Wow, we had an amazing time here! Seoul Kitchen is truly a diamond in the rough. We came here with a friend visiting and back in town along with our daughter. We had asked for a kids menu and high chair, not expecting much past those requests for staff tending to our child during dinner. We were wrong, the staff were incredible. Not only did they have the usual crayons and colorable menus for kids but the kids drinks had crazy straws, the staff checked in with our kiddo, picked up and replaced dropped utensils a smile. The kid food options were on point! We were pleasantly surprised and made a mental note to return for this reason alone. It's rare to come to a restaurant and have both the adults and children satisfied! We started off dinner with Kang's fried cauliflowers and then ordered the Jap Chae with seared salmon and the Spicy Bulgogi with veggies as our main entrees. I had no notes, every entree was delicious and the portions were huge. When I saw the prices at first, I did think they were on the pricier side, but then after seeing the portions I questioned nothing. Lastly, the Spotify playlist here is gucci and should be a crime to not share with customers haha I loved it and I didn't even order a drink! Great vibes, food, service overall- we can't wait to come back!!

    Authentic food, great taste with a nice atmosphere and friendly wait staff. Will return for sure!

    Kimchi soup

    Food was okay, kimchi soup was standard. But it is affordable compared to other asian fusions.

    Kimchi Stew
    Julie W.

    Honestly the taste is not the best so 2 stars, ordered the stone pot bibimbap and kimchi stew which are classic korean foods which you can find at any korean restaurant. Hard to go wrong but the kimchi stew was very salty/flavored wrong and honestly did not taste like any other kimchi jigae I've ever had. The dolsot/hotstone bibimbap was good but it's hard to mess up because it's just vegetables, meat, and rice however, the rice was super low and it honestly was a small portion. Service was mid as we never even got a water refill during the time we were there. So two stars, however the owner of the place was super kind and comped the bibimbap and gave us one to go +1 star. We appreciated that he was very understanding. To be honest, service doesn't matter much to me but the food and taste are more important. Specifically, the kimchi, cucumber salad side dishes, and kimchi stew all tasted really westernized/not seasoned correctly compared to all the korean eats I get from other restaurants when I'm at the DMV for school so might be because of different audience and the area is more predominantly white. Would love to come back and try the sushi and rereview tho!

    I love the food here. Everything is always very good and service is always very nice and accommodating. Only issue is that it's a little pricey! Definitely places with Asian food that's just as good and is cheaper!

    Despite living five minutes away we have never been here before and what a mistake that was!!! What were we waiting for? One of our goals for 2025 is to try at least 1 new (to us) restaurant each month. May's choice was Seoul Kitchen. Some of our choices so far have been one and done places-but not here. We will be back for sure. Prior to pandemic closures in 2020 we used to go to a lovely restaurant in Woburn center for Bi Bim Bap in the stone pot. We did not think we had a place near us to get this dish. But then we find that we can get it here. It's been a long time since having this dish! We went on Tuesday evening. It was too crowded and we were seated promptly. After being seated, our server-Matt- greeted us and answered questions about the menu. He was very knowledgeable about the food ingredients and was very kind! After taking our order, he brought us some house made pickles and kimchi. Both were delicious. We order the bibimbap and kimchi fried rice with no pork. Both were freshly made and arrived steaming. The bibimbap is served in a hot stone pot and the rice was sizzling. The kimchi fried rice was loaded with kimchi. At some other restaurants we have been to, the kimchi fried rice does not have much kimchi. Not here-almost every bite had kimchi. Portions are ample-we took home enough kimchi rice for another meal. The dining room is clean and comfortable. There is a small outdoor seating an area with a few tables. Even though it is located on a main road, the restaurant is back in the parking lot so we would have no qualms about sitting outside. Unfortunately we ate too much and couldn't fit dessert in. But the dessert menu looked great with a few choices. Next time!

    The restaurant was big with a bar area seating. The staff was friendly and quickly sat us and brought us water. The jap Chae was so flavorful and the glass noodle had a great chewy texture. The taco came in chicken, beef, pork all inspired with korean marinades. The sauce, the fresh Veggie, tasty meat, and the soft shell taco all meshed will together creating a very delicious plate. My favorite dish would be the shrimp. The fresh shrimp was perfectly fried and then covered in a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce. I also enjoyed the chicken wings and the kimchi bulgogi fries. You must end your meal with the yuzu cheese cake. It was perfectly sweet and the sour from the yuzu really adds to the deliciousness.

    This is the Korean tacos, has 3 total.

    The food and drinks are excellent. Service is fast and friendly. Enjoyed the "bees knees" drink and korean tacos. I have eaten here before and in Leominster. The food is so fine. Ambiance is lovely and clean.

    Pajeon

    Knocked off two stars because their beef bulgogi was probably the worse I've ever had. I swear it wasn't rib eye since it was so dry and didn't taste an ounce of fat. Only ordered their Korean offerings. The Pajeon was average and seafood stew was good. Seafood definitely was fresh though no real spice level. Ambiance was good and probably what one is really paying for. I assume the fusion stuff is probably pretty good and do want to try the sushi next tome

    Great everything. Good drinks food service and ambiance. Reservation was on time. Good menu.

    Chocolate molten cake
    Irena K.

    I ordered Sun Dobu, i love tofu soup but they dont hv option for it. The only one they have is w squid and shrimp in it. I figured Korean are knows how to cook squid properly, also as an asian we know shrimp so well, but i am so disappointed with the baby shrimp not to mentioned the rubbery squid. My husband's bimbimbap not as bad it lack of something. The server keep forgeting stuffs, my highlight of my food was the molten cake that my husband said its just alright. Without the molten cake i need a 0 stars - my judgement clouded- So anyway, its not as bad, but we might came back just for their sushi if any better than the korean.

Have tried many of the Korean restaurants in Allston and this, K Restaurant, seems to outrank them all! As for service -- indeed you pay first, but was a bit confused about the server/front desk who pretty much tell you to order before seated (choosing your own table), take your order, serve you with all the food, etc -- literally she handles all the customer service stuff -- wondering why she did not appear at pleasant or smile at all. Don't get me wrong, fully aware of wide range of personalities -- some appear more excited and enthusiastic than others others -- even without the the usual tipping at the end, and especially with the tipping at the end. Here, of course you pay -- and finalize your tip or no time before being served with your food, but still the server did not appear to greet or show those standard pleasantries expected all common in America ... She wasn't rude or anything. It just seems like she's not happy being there. Any event, just some thoughts here. Would definitely be back. And do recommend this place to others who want delicious meal but just note the above.

    This is a nice antidote to what way TOO MANY "Asian" restaurants are like in the greater Boston…read morearea: slick, prettified and exoticized decor, inflated pricing and mediocre, bland and generally dumbed-down tourist food. This place is none of those things---the interior is simple and dare I say, well worn. But that's the whole point, you feel like you're in an authentic immigrant family restaurant, which it appears to be---a very very sweet and kind lady seems to be the only server in this place (we went on a weeknight, so maybe on a Friday/Sat/Sun it's more crowded and there are more staff) and her husband mans the cash register by the door. Old school! Food is solid and authentic, and refreshingly gimmick-free. What you see is what you get. Shockingly, the prices are about the same as in the Korean places in the food court at H-Mart down the road in Burlington...but you get more and better quality food! And they don't appear to have an alcohol license, which is kind of a good thing because they don't try to upsell you with their drink menu, which in Asian restaurants tend to be pretty lousy mass-market water-beers (sometimes just with Asian labels on similar swill) at craft-beer prices anyhow. Bimbibap was quite unique: rice was served on a separate bowl, while the actual main bowl was full of veggies and meat and egg. Very nice contrast to most places' bimbibap being 80% rice and 20% veggies/meat. Came with a small side of miso soup. UPDATE, one week later: Came back to try out the Korean BBQ. For 3 people, we ordered 3 of the BBQ menu items, came out to a reasonable $100 or so before tip since we just had the complimentary toasted brown rice tea (hyeonmi-cha) and ice water. It was just the right amount of food for an evening meal (more voractious eaters would probably want an additional 1-2 dishes) and the lady came to our table to cook the food for us, ensuring that nothing would be overcooked. The short rib was easily the best, followed by the bulgogi, and the squid with pork belly and veggies was pretty good not great (it was interestingly cooked over the open flame on a square of aluminum foil). Everything was perfectly marinated, tender and juicy. Ventilation was good, so our clothes did not reek of roasted meat afterwards---some places have weak fans, this one did not. Service was again impeccable, gracious and speedy...very nice warm vibes, not cold or perfunctory like some places. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    Family establishment! Been around for a long time, and I used to work in the area and eat here with…read moremy partners and team. Decided since we were in the area, the lady and I would give it a go! Still the best available in the area IMO for non-AYCE traditional style. They cook it for you so if you aren't KBBQ savvy, they got you! The wife is awesome she's usually very sweet and cooks your meats perfectly. The hubby, haha he always seems grouchy but no issues. Service is quick and space and tables are ample. The meat cuts are plenty, always go with Kalbi, spicy pork, jap chae appetizer. Of course you also get plenty of banchan to supplement your meal! Will def come back again!

    The food is still great but the prices are getting absolutely ridiculous, even in these times…read more Ordered a lunch special wings with fries today. They've cut the order down from 8 to 6 wings while raising the price another dollar from 3 months ago. A 10 piece order of wings is now $18; which is on par with every location near me.
