Seoul Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Milwaukie

This is not the high brow Korean restaurant you're looking for, but it is a good and a basc example of Korean food. When trying a new Korean restaurant, I always order the Bulgogi and Soju, it's the same as ordering a Burger and fries with a beer at anywhere USA. The first promising sign was that I not only got a healthy plate of thinly shaved and cooked meat, but I was also surrounded by a collection of sides. Each side is a tasty little bit of contrasting flavour to the Bulgogi, which you eat together. At first you may think that there are not enough sides for a sampling with every bite of meat, but I soon discovered that it was the perfect ratio of sides to meat. And yes, there is also a small bowl of rice. The food price was not a surprise, but the small bottle of Soju was twice the price of the liquor store. To put that in American, you're talking about a 9-10 $ Budweiser. OK, confession time. A bottle of Soju is really a 2 person ordeal, so I was feeling a little glutinous. I would not say that this was Korean fine dinning, but they don't pretend to be anything other than a Korean diner, and for that I have a lot of respect for the...

Don't get takeout/delivery from here. The food is decent and the prices are ok considering other places in the area, customer service is somewhat cold but not outright rude. My issue with them is that they put everything in those standard white square square clamshell containers that aren't intended to hold liquid and on two separate occasions I've had liquid from their takeout leaking everywhere from a 3 minute drive home on an even surface.

The first time I thought it was a fluke and fortunately had it in a thermal bag, but this last time Tteobokki sauce soaked through bottom of the box they put my food in and got red stains all over my passenger seat in addition to my jacket, I noticed it was already on my hands and clothes midway getting home too so It was already leaking before I left the restaurant. It's a shame because otherwise I'd recommend this place but don't risk your upholstery getting ruined or some poor delivery driver trying to bring you your food unless they start putting things in...

Hidden gem with unforgettable flavors and generous portions!

This review is long overdue! I’ve been a regular customer for the past year thanks to my son introducing me to this cozy, family-owned spot, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

What makes Seoul Korean stand out is their amazing variety of banchan (side dishes). Besides the standard Korean favorites, they always offer one or two rotating sides that are delicious, unique, and keep the experience fresh.

I’ve tried most of their seafood dishes, and the flavors have consistently impressed me. My personal go-to? The combo veggie soft tofu stew with pan-fried mackerel, packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and plenty of food with leftovers to take home.

Located in the same shopping area as Ross, Michaels, and Margarita Factory, there’s plenty of parking, and the service is quick, friendly, and always welcoming.
