seoul house

came here with two of my friends, two of us ordered bibimbap and one ordered one of those seafood tofu soup. the bibimbap was just average since the rice was so sticky it didn’t work very well. the seafood tofu soup was straight up bland despite the presentation being good. the service was also not very pleasant. couldn’t find the waitress for about 10 minutes and when we asked for refill she completely ignored us. wouldn’t come up again.

a pretty average place for korean food. i came here with a group of friends and we did order quite a lot. it wasn't convenient considering the numbers we had. it was a little cramped particularly for some of my friends who sat in the inside. quite full of people in the weekends, and for its space it isn't catered for large groups (10 or more).

the side dishes were not to my standards, portion is a little small and the kimchi was mediocre at best. the soup was good, it did have a lot of ingredients in there and i'm happy with that.

overall, a little pricey for the portion. i would come here again but only for some occasions or if i'm feeling the need to spend.
7/10

had the bbq for two with my husband, it came with kimchi, bean sprouts, rice and potatoes definitely filling. not a very large menu but still a great meal.

i ordered bibimbap.it served with lots of veggies and there is a rice below.the taste is absolutely so good.the beef is not too sticky and it is on point.the veggie in the bowl also taste nice and go well with this dish.my friend ordered kimchi soup with korean spicy but it still to mild for us.the taste of kimchi soup is brilliant.we also ordered tok-bokki but we think that it is too sweet.the side dishes are kimchi,bean sprout and potato.they look simple but they are actually taste great.i think it is a little bit expensive for me compare to other restaurant.overall if i have chance i would definitely go back.

when we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the staff. the service was okay, although it could improve. the food came out pretty fast and they looked amazing, most of which were still sizzling in their bowl.

the price of the food were a bit on the expensive side but the portions were fairly large. i didn’t really enjoy the taste of the bibimpap but their steaks and the bbq we had were amazing.

i’m not sure if i would go again any time soon but i did enjoy it quite a bit enough to refer it to some friends. overall the experience and food were okay.

although still a mile away from auckland korean food options, this perphas is the best in welly. good selection of choices and licensed. my spicy beef soup was tasty. side dishes were limited (you get at least 5 sides in auckland and free top ups) but better than others in welly.

bulgogi (marinated beef) was dry and tasteless. i would have preferred to take the $19 i spent on the dish to eat at maccas or dominos pizza

great restaurant! i have been to many korean restaurants in seoul, and the food here is just as good! the waiter is a very nice man and our food (up to five people were at the table) came out super quickly, sizzling hot and tasted delicious! the interior design is very authentic and has lots of korean posters/pictures/news etc. the panfried dumplings are particularly delicious. this is my favourite korean restaurant in wellington!

was craving korean cuisine for dinner and stopped by seoul house, which is one of my top picks for korean food in the city.

the restaurant is larger than most korean ones in wellington so it feels more roomy and comfortable. there was only 1 waitress but there wasn't a big crowd so i got served relatively quickly.

i picked the new item on the menu which was bulgogi stew, served with rice and side dishes. it arrived bubbling deliciously in its stone pot. the taste was also absolutely phenomenal. bulgogi is normally thicker and served with rice on the side, but watering it down slightly and making it a stew is perfection for a cold evening. portion was also more than enough and i had to pack some home. totally recommend it, even though it is a tad pricier than the other stews on the menu.

the side dishes though, were disappointing. the bean sprouts was quite bland and frankly, tasted like they had been refrigerated for too long. the kimchi wasn't to my taste, although that is my personal opinion because every restaurant has a different kimchi recipe. it obviously could be very yummy to someone else so even though i couldn't finish mine, i wouldn't discount it completely.

showstopper: bulgogi stew...soooo good!!

overall grade: b+

my friends who are regulars at seoul house took me here for dinner for the first time. very friendly and fast service. the waitress was accomodating and refilled our appetizers as soon as we finished them. the food was amazing. bulgogi and kim chi fried rice are the best out of all the dishes that we ordered. will definitely be back!

had a lovely lunch of kim chi stew with pork and tofu. piping hot, which was great on a cold winter day. the stew was spicy and sour, with lots of cabbage kim chi complemented nicely with the tofu. there wasn't much pork and to be honest, it would have been fine without it. the meal also came with the complimentary kim chi, cabbage, bean sprouts and a sweet potato. service was friendly and being early for lunch hour, the meal was served within 10 mins of ordering.

have visited seoul house numerous times, absolutely adore the pork bulgogi it is the best in town. it comes out on sizzling plate with vermicelli and cabbage and bowl of rice. also comes with shared dishes for the table, the kim chi is lovely (we always finish ours and they keep refilling it) the shares bbq are great if you are with a group (i am often to impatient to watch it cook in front of me so order the pork bulgogi)

the restaurant is nice and spacious. the side dishes are bonus when having dinner/ lunch. kimchi and potato kimchi is good but the seaweed is quite chewy and taste a bit weird. we ordered bbq for 2, with spicy pork, spicy squid and bulgogi marinated beef. the taste is good and the presentation is ok. the customer service is ok but the toilet is quite dirty.

we ordered bibimbap for dinner. they served it pretty quickly. the heart shape egg was cute. personally, i like my stone bowl to be super hot so the rice at the bottom would burn a little. this bowl is hot but it didn't feel like it was hot enough. sauce was fine, as a whole it's okay. only one waitress working so she was a bit busy and we had to help ourselves and remind her to get our drinks. food and service we had is okay.

i have read good reviews about this place before i went in today, so i gotta say my expectation was quite high. the atmosphere seemed nice and tidy. i ordered yuk-gae-jang and hae-jang-guk, and they were both really disappointing... it wasn't like the service was particularly good either. one of the side dishes - kimchi was good though, but that was all. maybe i picked the wrong food from menu, but i wouldn't like to go back there for second time.
