Seoulju Korean Kitchen - Austin

Wow!! This has been the best restaurant experience in Austin that I have had! I cannot explain how amazing the dinner we had tonight want. If the owner John is there, you will have the best night. The servers are amazing. I can’t explain how amazing this evening was. Can’t wait to bring everyone visiting here!Food: 5/5

When you first get there, don’t be put off by the area. It’s in a shopping mall that looks like it’s seen better days, and the entrance to the restaurant could use some updating. You’ll need to join the Waitlist on Yelp before you’re seated. Each table has a QR code you can scan to order and pay for your food. We did not have to wait long for our food. Inside, the walls are painted black with chalk drawings and words and phrases. There are TVs playing K-Pop music videos (a standard for most places of this nature).We ordered the fried chicken. It was moist on the inside and very crispy on the outside. I asked for the sauce on the side. We also had the bulgogi kimchi fries. The meat was so tender and flavorful. My husband ordered the pork belly and octopus. They brought it out on a sizzling hot pan. It was delicious.We only drank regular soju, but they do have a good amount of mixed drinks and soju cocktails.Overall, we really enjoyed our experience l, and the staff was super friendly.

Seoulju is a nice spot for meeting friends and trying Korean comfort food. We ordered the Corn Cheese, Beef Bulgogi, and Fried Chicken Thigh Nuggets. I particularly enjoyed the way they served the cheese in a pan, which kept the corn hot for a long period of time. It was a good appetizer and paired well with their fried chicken. The chicken itself was crispy and perfectly coated with sauce and sesame. Overall, the food quality was good, although nothing extraordinary.

Severs were very friendly and attentive. Very welcoming atmosphere. They have karaoke here as well. May come back and reserve with them to try it out.I would not get the military hot pot again though. Me and my friend has some stomach issues the day after. Perhaps it was too much for us.We got the house made soju. Strawberry cheesecake and it was very good. Wasn’t strong but we both loved it very much. We may come back just for drinks and small bites.

I’ve been coming to Seoulju for yearsssss! Way before it was even renamed Seoulju. The food here is authentic and phenomenal. I’ve tried mostly everything from the fried chicken to the house made soju. This is the place to come with friends late at night to hang out and listen to K-pop in the background. They use the toast app for orders which I really appreciate as an introvert and it’s just so easy to keep checks separate. Plus the owner John, when he is there, is so personable and kind. The whole staff is nice and helpful. One of the best Korean restaurants in Austin hands down!
