    Beef Mandu
    Amanda M.

    So glad we stumbled across this authentic style Korean spot. You can grab a seat at the table or set yourself up on a pillow and sit crossed legged for a true authentic dinning experience. Cute decor hang from every corner of the space. Lots of room and a good spot for families as well. Order at the service counter, grab a seat and wait as they bring your food right to your table. Went with mandu dumplings, both beef and pork. Seafood pancake, and Dupbap. Left satisfied with the dreamiest ice cream. Heuk Imja I believe it was. Such a unique yet delightful range of flavors

    Ordering is at the front counter. Pay then wait for the order to come out. I had the Jeyook Boleyn. Spicey stir fried pork. Very tender and tasty. Authentic purple rice was very good as were the pickled radish and broccoli. Nice clean place!

    It's very peaceful here, nice quiet home vibe here, while enjoying a meal here. Their tablet was down so I ordered up front for eating in, this place seems more for take out, but honestly they pretty humble and sweet, and had no hang ups about dining in. The lime apple mint ade, was very refreshing and not overly sweet, definitely worth a shot, since honestly out of wheel house with herb infused drinks, for the galaxy ade, it was kind of muted sweetness, like it was sweet but mellow out, if that makes sense, it was still a great drink and visually definitely worth snapping a pic of it. Cheese dak galbi, was savory and pretty spicy, but not overwhelming, the cheese I like how it tasted like blow torched melted. Chicken inside the gooey mess was very tender and flavorful. All veggies were kind of same in taste since the sauce overpowered them. Never had purple rice before, but it's pretty good, it was soft and fluffy. As for small side dishes, the broccoli and what I thought was fried tofu noodles was tasty. The other two, not my cup of tea. Honestly always great to see places like this since definitely no Korean cuisine in my area sadly.

    My sister and I were craving Korean so decided to try out Seoul Sizzle. The interior is very nice, the interior design in clean and wood forward. I was actually very surprised when we realized that this place wasn't full service, instead we ordered at the counter and paid before we ate. That definitely didn't feel like the vibe of the place based on how it looks. My sister and I started with fun drinks, I got the Galaxy Ade and she got the Hibiscus Yuzu Ade. Her's was definitely better, mine tasted so sickly sweet. I probably wouldn't order it again, maybe try a hot tea the next time. For food, we decided to share two things. We ordered the Bulgogi set (came with banchan) and tteobokki. Both were good, I'm not going to say they weren't but they definitely were authentic in any way. More like a American version of the dishes. The Bulgogi was thinly cut, super tasty and I loved that I didn't find much fat. The banchan was kind of disappointing seeing as they were small. The marinated cucumbers could have used a more flavorful gochujang, kind of bland. Loved the pickled radish and the tofu skins. The tteobokki had good flavoring. I loved the fried dumplings that soaked up the sauce. Overall, everything was good but if you are looking for really author this might not be the place.

    This food was so good! The only disappointment is that my tray wasn't actually sizzling lol. The decor inside the restaurant is unique. It has a feel of a sit down restaurant and a takeout restaurant at the same time and still looks like there was artistic thinking behind the design. Also, the fact that you order your food at the counter, pay, and then sit and wait for it to be brought to you also gives it that mix feeling. Unfortunately, I went a few weeks ago so at this point I forgot what I ordered but I know my main entrée was so delicious. I took leftovers home and was excited To finish it the next day. I got scallion pancakes as an appetizer and those were pretty great, but I love scallion pancakes anywhere. I also tried one of their specialty drinks, it was colorful and was in three layers, I believe it was an hibiscus drink. That was so good, highly recommended. If you're in Middletown, I would highly recommend the spot. Easy, chill, casual restaurant with great taste in food and very close to downtown.

    Went out of our way to stop here after an upstate camping trip. SO WORTH IT. The inside is super clean and minimalist which made for a relaxing stop. From the food to the utensils to the decor- Every little thing is aesthetically pleasing and the service was kind and friendly. The food was a knock out. Very tasty and very filling! I had to take a little to go. Each ingredient was fresh and flavorful. So much attention to detail here. I loved it and can't wait to go back. PS they have their own parking lot next to the wine store.

    Amazing amazing Korean food in Middletown! FINALLY! I came for the soft opening and recently just came back these two weeks and I must say the food quality have just been going higher and higher! I tried most of the items on the menu and all of them are very delicious! I also love their Mint lime-ade(remember to stir first)! Definitely come take a look! Great place for lunch!

    A gem in Middletown! Coming from Honolulu, HI this Korean food is legit!! The dak galbi (chicken dish) with purple rice was hearty. There was also delicious ban chan served on the side and you can also order extra for $5! Tried the seafood panjeon (seafood scallion pancake) ($14) and the calamari salad with yuzu dressing. The complementary watermelon for dessert was a treat! Parking is located across the street behind the liquor mart. Casual dine in and takeout / delivery through grub hub is available.

    Food was absolutely excellent. The restaurant is very very clean ! 4 of us came and tried different things and everything was delicious. I don't like the fast food way of ordering and vibe. It's not like some of the really nice Korean restaurants Ive been too. The woman cooking was very friendly but the girl at the counter was not. Personality of trying to talk to a tree. No smile just order and go sit down attitude. We drove over an hour to try it here.

If you check out my posts, we love Korean BBQ. Unfortunately, the meats were all under seasoned. The pork belly was really bland, I tired dipping into the sauces but even that couldn't enhance the taste. My son loves egg soufflé and if you see the picture, this does not compare to the egg soufflés we've been to. Unfortunately, even the kids had a literal bad taste in their mouth. The cooking area was small and the heat not strong enough that after cooking the first 6 half strips of thinly sliced pork belly, we had to wait 7 minutes for the next batch to cook. Yeah, the place does look very deserted but picks up after 7-7:30 pm. Reading other reviews, I'm glad that some people find the place great but for Korean style BBQ and meat flavor, they totally missed the mark. You can definitely improve a lot on this.

Remotely located(a single building…read moreof its own)in Paramus, NJ, it always allows for a moment of relaxation whenever I visit here. Not so busy during weekdays or lunch time, but you may need to wait for a while for Saturday or Sunday dinner. Marinated Galbi and Rib-eye Steak are always solid choice, paired with lots of side dishes including doenjang/kimchi jjige and steamed egg. The service (specifically the larger dining area on the left) is superb. My family routinely has been visiting once a month for the past couple of years. Recently (Q1 in 2024), some meats were not as good as before, but I hope it was just one or two bad timing/ either not-enough marinated meat or quality of beef. Will visit again soon and I hope I can write a 5-star review next time.

That said, this restaurant is one of few decent Korean spots outside of Fort Lee and Palisades Park. As such, it's become a return spot for our family members who live fairly local. As soon as you sit down, the default beverage offered is warm barley tea (which is much appreciated during those colder winter visits). The banchan, or side dishes, are few but a little more robust here than other Korean restaurants. During my last visit, we were given plates of standard kimchi, sprouts, and seasoned broccoli. I was also surprised to find pumpkin-egg salad, soy marinated lotus root, and soy-marinated ribeye pieces. The offerings change a little from visit to visit, but they're always decent to downright delicious. While I've not been wowed by anything from the menu, I've found most of the meals to be predictable. Hot stone bibimbap is my regular order, and I love the different proteins they offer here for mixed rice dishes. For those curious about the barbecue but unwilling to pay the high sticker price for a full entree, you can try the galbi, bulgogi, and spicy pork atop a bibimbap. During my last visit, I was delighted by the salmon hot stone bibimbap, which came with a great teriyaki marinade. My regular complaint with Seoul Galbi's bibimbap is that the hot stone has never gotten hot enough for my rice to char and crisp (which is arguably the best part of ordering it on a hot stone. Otherwise, why else would one pay the elevated prices?). When it comes to decor and ambiance, the restaurant is fairly no frills. As far as service goes, the waitresses have always been quick - quick to order, quick to serve, and quick to refill glasses (or, when asked, the side dishes). I also appreciate how slow they are to deliver the check, allowing conversations to linger. When my family and I came with a cake for a family member, the auntie serving our table not only came by with extra plates and silverware, she clapped and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song as boisterously as we.

I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.

My kimchi pancake was the spicy, carb-laden appetizer that I needed with a plentiful side of chili sauce.

My iced ginger tea was sweet and a perfect complement to the rest of the meal. I almost polished off everything....loved that purple rice that got nice and crispy in that hot pot. Gochunjang tasted homemade...thick, spicy, savory and slightly sweet. The menu isn't extensive or overwhelming....it's just right.
