Seoulside Wings & Rice — Restaurant in Houston

Nut allergy friendly: They have no guarantee on sauces ("May contain nuts") but don't use any nuts directly in anything!

Located in the back right of the Conservatory food hall, this food truck-turned-brick and mortar spot has been mentioned as one of the best Korean fried chicken spots in Houston. After finally making it here, I would say it is a fair contender for the title!

We took 20 wings to go and ordered half of them fried "hard". Unfortunately, I didn't notice much of a difference as the sauces still meant that they did not travel well. I would highly recommend that they (or you) poke holes in the boxes to release steam, as this helps maintain the crispiness of the chicken if you're travelling over 15 minutes. Alternatively, get sauce on the side.

For the wings themselves:

Lemon Pepper: Universally our favorite wing. It travels the best since there's no sauce and remained crispy after 30 minutes. The flavors really come through. Honey Butter: Second favorite wing. Very unique! Reminds me of the honey butter Chicken biscuit a little bit, and there's honey dripping off each piece. K-Sauce: My third favorite. It had a bit of a kick, almost like a gochujang flavor but not as intense. Soy Garlic: My friends' third favorite. I thought the flavors were a little muted here, but they were good. I think I'd rate these more highly if I had them when they were still crispier.

Furikake Rice: Nothing crazy, portions easily enough for two. Corn Cheese: Also nothing crazy, one order fed three. Would highly recommend adding something like fried onion or garlic.

Overall, a solid wing spot that I would...

OMG!! I literally was just thinking about this restaurant earlier that day and I had a Uber eats pick up later that night but it was a different location because when I went a few years ago it was at a food truck and I would never forget this place because the food was so delicious!! but unfortunately in my travels I don't come across that food truck because it was so far away from where I lived:( however, it is worth the trip! I just never went back because I just wanted, you know, convenience... Anyway, when I went to do the pick up at Seoulside Wings, I was like oh my gosh I wonder if they're affiliated with the food truck that I ordered from a few years ago? So I asked the guy there and he said yes and he also told me that they had just gotten this spot 6 months ago so I was like OMG! I am so Gonna order take out right now and I ordered the Korean fried chicken with the K sauce and the honey butter wings and of course the kimchi fries and my favorite pickled radish!😋 He even threw in a few extra radishes for me because I told him how much I love those pickled radishes!!!! I am so grateful for that Uber eats pick up order because now I know where their new location is which is only 9 miles away from where I live now!!! so I will be back more often for sure!!!! I'm so glad that you guys are expanding! you deserve to!! you have the best wings ever and of coursethe kimchee fries and my favorite the pickled radishes!!!!!! I gave you guys a great review 3 years ago when I ordered from your food truck and in that review I said that Seoulside needs to be in every city!! Keep spreading your...
