Seoul Casa - Korean Mexican Fusion — Restaurant in Alaska

This place was an awesome find! We came on a whim and were delighted with the food.

I'm not a huge Mac salad fan. I always want to like it and have a distant memory of liking it before. So when they offered Mac salad as a side I was nervous... But, the server was very kind and gave me an assurance that it would be great. And it was! It wasn't too saucy, and it wasn't too sweet OR salty. It's a solid side.

We were most impressed with the wings. They're of flavor and so crunchy! Even the fire wings, covered in a thin sweet and spicy sauce was still crispy and crunchy. The flavors were distinct and not over powering. It was reminiscent of Korean wings we've had in Japan and that was a fun memory to conjure up.

The Kimchi Supreme Tots were LOADED but not drowning in sauce or cheesy sauce. The balance was perfect. We ordered the spicy pork and the texture and flavor on it were near perfect.

The Korean Cheese Steak was a surprising delight! The cheese was beautifully melty and stringy. The meat (Kalbi) was tender and flavorful. It gave a nice solid texture against the surprisingly soft hoagie. It all was a delight to the senses.

We had the highest expectations of the kinchirito, but, probably inflated by our own imaginations. It wasn't as magical as we hoped. It was good! Thin layer of kimchi fried rice along the soft and fresh tortilla. Cheese and beef were good! It was nicely put together and kept together nicely up till the last bite.

The service was great! The atmosphere was simple, clean, catchy pop music. A projector showing scenes of what we're assuming is the Seoul City scape. You kind of forget you're right next to a Burlington coat factory.

Tl;dr surprisingly good Mexican fusion! Taquitos and Wings crunchy and flavorful. All the meat cooked well, soft and tender. Great service and...

Overall: 4.5/5 (dine in)

We got a nice table by the fireplace which was nice given how cold it was outside. They have K-pop music blasting with music videos on the big screen tvs. We were stuffed after the meal but left giggly after drinking the rice wine & cocktail so A great experience overall.

K-Town Wings (12 Wings For $18.50): We got half Korean fire sauce and half garlic soy sauce. They were both really good. Pretty surprised about the garlic soy flavor since it's typically really light when we get it at other Korean restaurants but this one had enough flavor.

Bulgogi Eggrolls ($9): I wasn't a huge fan of the egg roll wrapper but my husband really liked this appetizer. I didn't enjoy it as much so I only ate one piece.

Fried Fish Taco ($5.75): This was pretty average. Wish the fried fish had more flavor. We got corn tortilla which went well with it.

3 Amigos Tacos ($15): This came with kalbi, spicy pork, & KBBQ chicken. We chose flour tortillas which they fried so you have to eat the tacos right away, otherwise they get hard. My favorites are the kalbi and spicy pork since they had the most flavor.

Kim Jung Mule Soju Cocktail ($10): Taste like your typical Moscow mule but a bit sweeter. It's very light

Makgeolli: We got a sample of this to see what rice wine taste like. It's pretty sweet & easy for anyone to drink. There's no alcohol taste to it.

Bokbumja Black Raspberry Rice Wine ($16): This was surprisingly really good. We rarely have rice wine and this was our first time trying a flavored rice one. We loved it and I might like it more than regular wine. It has a subtle boldness and hint of sweetness so it's the best of...

Disappointing! Back story, my family was looking forward to coming to this place for months. We had a 7 night cruise from Vancouver, Canada to Seward, Alaska and then a 3 hour bus ride to Anchorage. We saw this restaurant on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives, and figured since we’re going to be in Anchorage let’s stop in and try this place out. We got seated fine by a young lady and drinks were taken. The atmosphere was a bit boring. Black and white, no color or a welcoming feeling. We were so excited in trying out their food, but we didn’t know what to order. So we ordered a bunch of appetizers. We got everything in about 20 minutes and everything was hot and fresh. But we didn’t get that WOW factor especially being on TV. And what also got me was that I had a long piece of hair in my nachos. I immediately notified the man that brought the food over to us. And what he implied to me was very shocking. He was implied that it was my daughter’s hair that was mixed into the cheese, sauce and chicken of the nachos I was eating. Noted that she never dished it out to me or touched the nachos. The server looked over at my daughter and said that there’s no one here with long hair. (Possibly it could be from the chip bag it was from or from a different shift or from another female server). Instead of apologizing, he insisted that it didn’t come from his cooks. And walked away. I thought it was in very bad taste of him implying it was my daughter’s hair. After all the restaurants I’ve been to, I’ve never had such rude and bad customer service. And I or my family would never try to cheat a restaurant or...
