Seoul Restaurant

I had a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—my shrimp pho tasted like it was made with love, reminiscent of a family home-cooked meal. Although it seemed a bit slow with no other people but me. The owner was the only one working, her sweetness and helpfulness made my experience.The service was excellent, and I’ll definitely be coming back to support this wonderful spot.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! As a native Chattanoogan that’s Korean American, my family started eating here as soon as it opened about 15 years ago. Family owned & operated, Sara runs front of house while her husband cooks in the back of house. A true gem to this city & community. They offer a vast menu of Korean & Vietnamese cuisine. They even have secret menu items IYKYK. They may be retiring soon, so try their delicious food when you have a chance.

Instantly when we walked in the lady was on her phone the whole time with headphones on, she took like 3 min to sit us down and to attend the people who were ready to pay! The food was so bad and bland I ordered the bibimpab and she told me it was vegetarian but when the food came out there was literal beef in it? My egg wasn’t even cooked well it looks like they just cracked it open as is, and the food was cold. We spent 40 dollars and the portions were so small. I’m not the type to complain as this is my first review ever, don’t waste your time coming here we love Korean food but this place was not it at all.

We have been here twice, the thai tea is so wonderful and creamy. The woman running the place so far has been by herself each time and she is super patient and catering. It is clear she doesnt know much english but she assures she understands you before doing anything, along with helping you pick out yummy dishes! The restaurant has been a bit slow each time we visited so we got our food pretty quickly, and it was wonderful. The food is absolutely amazing and the portions that you recieve are worth the high price.

I would say I about Korean food but maybe I don’t know authentic Korean food. The menu was fun, the waitress smiled a lot once she came to seat us. After delivering, we didn’t see her again. The food consistency was all super soft. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside but the filling was mush. Same for the dumplings. The Bibimbap rice was either burnt and stuck to the cast iron serving pot or mush. The vegetables had no crunch or firmness. The meat was tasty and tender. The egg was cooked well. There just wasn’t enough meat to balance out the consistency of the rest of the bowl.

What a pleasant surprise! Seoul is in a pretty nondescript strip mall, but turned out to be wonderful. First thing I noticed was how clean and pleasant the restaurant is. Tastefully decorated and spotless. I had the Korean stir fry with chicken, and it was super fresh with delicate flavoring that was delicious. It came with rice and sides of kimchee, a very good bean sprout dish, seasoned pineapple, and another side that was something like teriyaki potatoes (not sure exactly what it was but it was very good). My daughter and I loved it. Definitely in a different class than most cookie cutter Chinese restaurants, with a much lighter, subtler, and fresher approach. Kind of pricey for dinner, but reasonable for lunch. Definitely look forward to returning!

Wish I had photos but I didn't plan to do a review. After my meal, I just have to do it. Very authentic Korean food that is just delicious. I had the Bibimbap, my husband had the squid (forget the name). All the sides were fabulous. Everything tasted fresh. Clean restaurant. Sweetest lady working. From the reviews I don't believe some people understand cultural differences. If you're a fan of Korean cuisine give it a try!!
