    2 protein bowl
    Kenna G.

    Great takeout!!! Huge bowl packed with fresh ingredients. Lots of great sauces to choose from. Good amount of food for the cost!

    Bowl and soda

    I'm so glad I found this place! I just flew into Chicago and didn't want anything carb heavy (pizza) and wanted something semi healthy and with flavors. I came upon Seoul Spice on Yelp, was a bit hesitant because it's new and not a lot of people reviewed it. But took my chance bc a build your own bowl Korean style sounds fun! It's the chipotle Korean bowls. It's right across from millennium park. I came and there wasn't many people, just a few. I ordered by selecting my carb (half purple rice and glass noodles), protein (half bulgogi and chicken), and proceeded with the sides- kimchi, radish, corn, seaweed, cucumber, bean sprouts and extra spicy sauce. They put so much in your bowl. The glass noodles were japjae noods and the purple rice tasted authentic. The meat had flavors and I ate every single rice. It was good! I was very surprised by it, especially seeing no Koreans in sight, workers or customers. Tasted like something I would have gotten from a K-Town. And I'm from California, you get a lot of Korean food choices. I want one to open up in California. Love the concept! It's so simple yet you don't see much of it. If you like Korean bibimbap, you gotta try this!

    Celiacs rejoice!! This place is 100% gluten free!! I ate here 3 days in a row so I could try more of the menu. I really love the glass noodles so I pretty much ate variations of those. I tried the crispy chicken which was ok but I really liked the Bulgogi. The radishes and sauces gave a great spice and texture. The staff here was super nice every day and I never had to wait. The place was clean and I ate there and had delivery. It's a place you eat quick and run, so people don't linger long. I wished I lived close enough to eat here more often, but do yourself a favor and check it out.

    Wow!!! Love this place! The food was great and almost everything is gluten free. You can order one out of their premade bowls, or make your own. My friend and I chose to make our own bowls. They were so delicious! Also very generous portions. We both said there's no way we're going to eat this whole thing, and yet we did. The restaurant was very clean and quiet. I hope they add outdoor seating in the future. The staff were all extremely friendly. My friend and I agreed that we will definitely be back! She even purchased a bowl to bring home to her husband that afternoon.

    -New favorite quick service restaurant! We will be dining here/doing pick up quite frequently from now on. -The food is quite flavorful, portions were a good size, and prices are not outrageous (about $15ish per person) -so easy, especially when you're craving Korean food -We built our own bowls, where you can choose the base and add your protein and toppings -glass noodles were chewy and exactly what I was expecting, and the purple rice was cooked perfectly. It's chewy and holds the sauce flavor -sauces were delicious, I got the Korean hot sauce and sesamiso, though I will ask next time to have it on the side (it does get a little mushy if you are traveling with it) -got the spicy pork and bulgogi half and half option, which id recommend to try a variety of different options -inside there's a few seats as well, very clean inside too Next time I can't wait to try the crispy chicken I can't say enough good things about this spot!

    Kimchi Crunch
    Debangana S.

    Had gone into SeoulSpice for a quick lunch. Located across Millennium Park, this small outlet is hard to miss due to its standout branding. Their menu was simple and not too extravagant. Went with their Kimchi Crunch, which contained half noodles (glass noodles) and half purple rice, with a plethora of condiments, kimchi, chicken and sprouts for the crunch. I took my time to finish my bowl - it was huge! But I loved every bit of it. I particularly loved the kimchi against the cold glass noodles. Would definitely come back to try more items from the menu.

    Outside - Entrance

    Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!... We were looking for a quick grab for dinner and came upon this spot as were walking back towards out hotel. I was a little hesitant at first but figured I would give it a try and boy was I happy that I decided to try it. It is a cool little create your own bowl spot a little like a create your own Korean bibimbap bowl or kind of like a Chipotle bowl. The process was easy to follow and directions were printed on the glass covering as well as up top on the menu. The servers were very nice and patient. They also accommodated me with my kimchee and hot sauce on the side which was great. There was a line when I got there but it moved pretty quickly other than having to wait for them to to refill the japchae which was fine because I wanted it for one of my base items. You start with your base or starch. You can choose from white rice, purple rice, and/or japchae (Korean flavored long rice), grilled veggies, or toss salad. You can have choose two choice if you wish or just one. I chose the purple rice snd japchae. Great choice! Then to your protein/meats. Once again, you can choose just one or half of two types. If you want extra meat, you can choose so as well for an extra charge. The meats consist of: Bulgogi Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, Crispy Chicken, Spicy Pork, or Tofu. I chose beef and chicken and both were delicious and cooked well. I didn't have to add any additonal soy sauce bevuse they were both very flavorful. If you are like me and don't like your rice with too much sauce on it, ask the servers to please drain as much liquid from the meats before placing them into your bowl. They were so kind to do so ans it was perfect. After that, you move onto unlimited veggies. They had quite a selection consisting of: Cucumbers, Carrots, Corn, Bean Sprouts, Cilantro, Pickled Radish, Kim Chee, Kale, Edamame, Green Onion, Sesame Seeds. I may have missed a few but that is what I remember. I was simple and chose bean spouts, pickled radish, lots of cilantro, and kimchee and hot sauce on the side. After your unlimited toppings, you can choose several different sauces. I remember them having about 4-5 different ones. Goya, Kochujang, Oil, and something else. I only wanted hot sauce which was perfect and loved that I didn't need to add anything else to it. The staff was amazing, and food was absolutely amazing. Loved everything about it and my experience. I wish I could have gone one more time while in town, but at least now I know if I return, this will be one of my go to spots for a quick Korean Bowl fix. I recommend this place .

    This place is excellcent. It's a Korean bowl concept. So what chipotle did for Mexican and cava did for Mediterranean, Seoul spice is doing for Korean food. The atmosphere is fun casual and approachable. The high quality food at reasonable prices make this place a great option for a quick dining option during a day of touring the city. Definitely worth the stop!

    Bulgogi Build Your Own Bowl
    Jacqueline O.

    SeoulSpice is seriously my new favorite spot to get lunch in the Loop. Just a short walk from my office, this spot is always clean and there's always a spot for me to sit and enjoy my lunch there. It's a build-a-bowl type place where you go down the line and choose what goes in it. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable if you have questions on menu items and flavors. My personal favorites are bulgogi and jap chae! I try a different combo every time I go.

    Kimchi Crunch
    Ashley H.

    This is one of my favorite quick stops in the Loop! I have been several times and SeoulSpice never misses. The shop is very cute and the employees are always very friendly. Every time I've visited, I've been consistently impressed by the high quality and fresh ingredients. The portions are huge and can definitely last for two meals. Out of the bowls I've tried, my favorite has to be the Kimchi Crunch. The chicken is super tender and flavorful, and the purple rice is perfectly sticky and moist. The generous rice and proteins are complemented perfectly by crunchy veggies, spicy kimchi, and a refreshing ginger carrot sauce. Definitely do *not* skip the soft boiled egg, which is marinaded and cooked to perfection! Healthy comfort food at its finest. 100% recommend SeoulSpice and will undoubtedly be back soon!

    Build Your Own Bowl
    Arielle J.

    This was my second time visiting and the customer service was great. We were greeted and treated with patience and attentiveness. I got the build a bowl - which is my go to now. I was able to customize it to my liking with all the fixings. You really get great portions for what you pay. I wasn't able to finish it all in one sitting. Can't wait to finish the rest later. Inside it is super cute. Lots of people were sitting and it was busy. I highly recommend this location if you are in the area.

    I came for Elite Week: It was a speedy and easy service. They were also very informative and friendly. It turned out this place's 100% peanut-free and gluten-free! I ordered the fireball and substituted the purple rice with the noodles, while my boyfriend ordered a build-your-bowl with half spicy pork and half bulgogi. While we both do not eat peanut-free and gluten-free items, we both enjoyed our bowls thoroughly. The fireball was a bit spicy (and I eat spicy food), so I may suggest to those who don't to maybe try another type of bowl, find an ingredient that can help tame the spiciness, or ask if it can be made less spicy. I would come back again and try another bowl. This place is like any other small fast food place downtown so do expect a bit of noise if eating in. We took our bowls to-go.

    Braised tofu bowl
    Frances B.

    This is probably my fifth time here and each time it's wonderful. The atmosphere is bright, warm, and inviting. The manager is always great and makes sure people can get in and out quickly. But the food is soo good. Everyone I've talked to gets the tofu even if they eat meat because it's braised in such a delightfully flavorful way but not breaded. Food is fresh and lots of delicious flavors.
