What User likes about Seoul Soondae:
ABSLUTELY AMAZING! After I walked around here and soon tried (Blutwurst), I come to Seoul Soondae to satisfy my Korean comfort food gifts (Disclaimer: I am not Korean.

Ordered some bossam to go for dinner. For $40, you receive a box of the saddest thinnest bossam you'll ever see. And the meat is dry. Definitely not recommended here, specific to bossam. View all feedback.

While this restaurant offers some authentic and delicious Korean dishes, experiences can be hit or miss. Diners rave about the flavorful soondae and hearty kalguksu, with generous portions that evoke fond memories of Korean cuisine. However, criticisms arise regarding inconsistent service and disappointing dishes like dry bossam and sour kimchi jiggae, alongside unhelpful staff. Despite mixed reviews, many appreciate the warm atmosphere and the restaurant's attempt at authentic flavors. If you're craving Korean comfort food, it may be worth a visit, but be prepared for potential ups and downs in both food quality and service.

Very authentic Korean food. Ox blood, cow's intestine, pig's intestine, bloodworm... I stayed two days in the area, came here every day, all I tried was great

Lunch special is a lot of food. I had bloodworms and the Kimchi Tofu soup. The soup was okay, I enjoyed the sausage.

This is literally my favorite Korean restaurant. Very nice service and the food is amazing. The soup is very Asian style and the pork trotters is so delicious.
