During my day trip to Lancaster Central Farmers Market, I visited the Southern Market Lancaster…read morefood hall for the first time, located in a historic building in downtown Lancaster. There is even a concierge there to answer any questions about services or restaurants, perhaps because the building once housed the Lancaster Visitors Center. A charming place with international cuisine, including Indian, Greek, Jamaican, Asian, and Moroccan, to name a few. The food hall is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Lancaster has plenty of affordable parking in the Hager lot or several parking garages. I find using a parking App helpful.

First time was better than the second time. Today's brisket sandwich tasted like it was sitting in…read moreau jus too long or it was reheated from yesterday. Maybe both? The texture and cut were also completely different than previously. Mac n cheese not good today. Tasted like a watered down stouffers frozen dinner without the yummy burnt edges. I may give this a third try at some point, like when it's busier or later in the day when the meat is fresh. $14 for the sandwich and side wasn't terrible for the portion size, which was larger today as well. Maybe they were moving out the old stuff. Who knows? Better luck next time.

Skimpy, mislabeled, and dry. I got the chicken platter with collard greens. Actually, though you…read morecouldn't tell from the menu, the platter is just the sandwich but instead of chips it comes with a small side and a drink. The sandwich, which I got with Carolina sauce, was still dry and had way more bread than bbq. The collards had good flavor. Overall, I was disappointed with the quantity and the quality. I've heard the Mac and cheese bowl is way more food but similarly mediocre. Don't think I'd go here again. If I did, it definitely wouldn't be for a "platter"

I liked the spray bottle of vinegar and the plastic cups for ketchup if you prefer it. We also had grilled ham and cheese sandwiches which were hot and tasty.

There is a dining room around the corner if you prefer to eat indoors. Overall, this was a quick, friendly place to stop before heading home. We wanted ice cream but were full from our lunches. Definitely worth a stop!

Belated review. I visisted Seoulmates for their soft opening! They were open for dinner while my…read morefavorite restaurant, Callaloo, is on hiatus revamping their offerings. I was so excited to finally check out a Korean restaurant in Lancaster! The server was super friendly and they provided chopsticks for all the dishes. I started off the meal with Japchae and Korean Rice Cake Skewers as an appetizer (which I promptly forgot to take photos of because I was hungry). The rice cakes were spicy and the Japchae glass noodle dish was a wonderful sweet, umami flavor. Next up, I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Bowl with some lovely fried chicken breast with scrumptious pickled vegetables, short grain rice, and honey gochujuang mayo. The dish was sweet and didn't feature much spice. Lastly, I finished up with a cinnamon Korean donut, which was doughy and dusted with the right amount of cinnamon sugar. Prior to these dishes, I ordered a sparkling citron tea mocktail, pictured on page 3. This would be perfect for those who like a strong ginger flavor, but it wasn't my personal cup of tea. I'd love to try the Korean beef noodle soup and perhaps the bulgogi, too.

Since I'm the first to review some advice: Follow SeoulMates…read moreKorean Kitchen on Instagram for how to make reservations and most recent updates. It looks like the tasting menu will run October 16th - End of November. A group of 5 friends and I made reservations for the $45 dinner experience on 10/23/23. The reservation process was very easy, flexible, and they asked if we had any allergies which I appreciate. The entire menu (subject to change of course) was dairy-free, and could be modified to make it vegetarian/vegan. The menu that was available contained small plates of each of the following dishes: -Korean Rice Cake Skewers -Japchae -Korean Fried Chicken -Banchan (Tamari Braised Potatoes, SeoulMates Napa Cabbage Kimchi, Gochujang Brussels, Korean Cucumber Salad) -Spicy Fish Soup -Bulgogi Beef -Kimchi Stew -Korean Donuts The Good: This was a great way to experience a range of Korean dishes that are lacking in Lancaster. The flavors and textures are bold and we were all full at the end of the meal. The menu is a good range of dishes while staying fairly allergen and diet friendly. The spice levels were good to most of us, and bearable for those in our party that don't handle spicy food as well. The donut was a fun end to the meal and tasted great! The servers were also attentive and helped to keep the dinner running smoothly. The Not-So-Good: The Japchae and Braised Potatoes were very salty, and the fish's texture didn't really mesh with the soup. Maybe Swai was not the best choice of fish. The banchan was ok, but I had small issues with each dish. Bowls of rice would help to mellow out some of the stronger flavors. The bulgogi beef was not thin strips, but instead was a rolled thin filet. This looked and tasted great, but was not easy to eat. I loved the flavor, and can hold my own with chopsticks, but would have preferred it easier to eat. Overall, if you want to get some friends together this fall to experience the tasting menu I would recommend it. The dinner was fun, and allowed me to experience some new dishes, and new takes on dishes that I've had before. I think as the chef continues to refine their dishes and concept the food will improve, and I look forward to trying new things that come out of the SeoulMates kitchen.
