SeoulSpice — Restaurant in North Bethesda

I recently visited a Korean casual restaurant at Montgomery Mall , and I was beyond impressed! As someone who appreciates gluten-free options, I was thrilled to find that their entire menu caters to this need without compromising on flavor.

From the moment I walked by the service was exceptional. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure my first visit was memorable. They were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing their recommendations.

The food? Simply outstanding. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors, It’s clear they take pride in every dish they serve.

I’m so glad I discovered this gem, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious gluten-free Korean cuisine with top-notch service! I had an amazing first visit to this gluten-free Korean casual restaurant! The food was flavorful and fresh, and the entire team provided exceptional service....

update 06/2024: They have improved! Food tastes much better and fresher. Most importantly, the rice is hot which makes all the difference. Definitely a more frequent place to dine for me now at Westfield Montgomery.

‐------------- If you're looking for solid Korean food at the mall, this is a great option. Seoul Spice is a Korean take on the super successful chipotle formula of carbs base + proteins + toppings. I got the rice bowl with purple rice, spicy pork, and a little bit of everything as toppings, + sesame, garlic, and scallions to top it off. Food was good and tastes fairly authentic, but for me it lacked the harmonious, umami flavors found in a Capital Musubi rice bowl. Service was nice and the mall ambiance is hip and modern. Give this place a try if you want some variety in your usual mall...

I’ve always enjoyed the food at Seoul Spice, but after my most recent visit I don’t think I’ll be eating here again. While ordering, I noticed that none of the food on the line was covered. I didn’t realize this until I was already placing my order and actually saw a fly land on the chicken.

I mentioned it to the person preparing my bowl, but they brushed it off, which was really disappointing. I was embarrassed to cancel my order, so I took the food, but I couldn’t finish it because I was truly disgusted.

In my opinion, the food should be kept covered and warm — even though the restaurant is indoors, germs and insects can still get to uncovered food. I’m honestly surprised that food can be left out like that and still meet health standards. I really hope management considers...
