seoul house

although still a mile away from auckland korean food options, this perphas is the best in welly.goodselection 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.

the restaurant is nice and spacious. the side dishes are bonus when having dinner/ lunch. kimchi and potato kimchi isgoodbut 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 isgoodand the presentation is ok. the customer service is ok but the toilet is quite dirty.

i have readgoodreviews 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 particularlygoodeither. one of the side dishes - kimchi wasgoodthough, but that was all. maybe i picked the wrong food from menu, but i wouldn't like to go back there for second time.

this is a korean restaurant that i always say yes when i visit wellington. 
food are always warm and delicious! i tried several different dishes 
and i recommend spicy pork on hot plate and the tofu soup.
if you are a vegetarian, try ask the staff to substitute the beef to tofu on the top of the bibimbap (hot pot rice with various vegetables).
they are alwaysgoodwith some beers and also with the rice wine! :)
best korean restaurant in wellington!

went for dinner for two. the place looked quite from outside but i've seengoodratings about this place so we dared to try it.

i ordered chicken dubbab and my partner had beef steak and seafood pancake. the food came very shortly after we ordered and it was delicious!
my chicken dubbab was cooked perfectly and full with flavours. i was loving the seafood pancake too, it was massive! too much that we had to take it for takeaway.
the beef steak is relatively small and was just okay.. needs improvement.

the restaurant itself was comfortable and welcoming.. it was warm and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. it gave you a great feeling and wanna stay longer :)

definitely come back to try other menus! few misses here and there but completely out of whatgoodthings they served :)

i have always wanted to try korean cuisine and this place was a surprise. not knowing what to order, i selected the shall i say bluntly infallible asian dish, the fried rice with pork. my partner ordered the pork omelette with rice. we tried each other's dishes and both shared a particularly sweet/ honey taste. the portions were good, the service was good, and it was agoodevening. there was no gangnam style to be heard, and that is all.

went there for lunch today.
had, beef hot plate, mandu, bim, and a kimchi tofu dish. they were all really good.goodvalue for money too.

service was a bit crap. had to get our own menus, sit ourselves down, and also get our own utensils. there was only one waitress and it was really busy. probably busier than they expected it to be for a monday lunch time.

food was realgoodthough, lots for your money. would love to try dinner there and see if service is any better.

went there for dinner tonight.
i am glad to find that there is a decent korean restaurant in wellington. i had a dolsot bibimbap for my main, the vegetables used were fresh and the portion size was very generous the beef was seasoned well and the gochujang was particularlygood(the only thing that wasnt to my preference was that the egg was served fryed, while i prefer raw egg in my bibimbap).

a standard selection of banchan was provided with the meal (unlike some places in the area that charge extra for them?!?), the banchan was quite nice and the kimchi was very much to my taste, quite sweet and not too bitter.

there was a selection of local wines available on the menu as well as a nice selection of soju. howevery what stood out for me was the bokbunjajaoo, a delicious dark raspberry wine, that i hadnt seen anywhere since i moved to wellington. i would highly reccomend sampling some if you have never had it before.

the prices were very reasonable (my main cost $13, i cant recall what the drinks cost.) and the service was very good. the wait staff were korean (but also very fluent in english). i didnt wait at all to be seated or have my order taken and the food was delivered promptly. i will definently be returning for another meal soon, i will be trying their bulgogi next.

i highly reccomend this place if you like korean. there are not many korean places in wellington and this one deserves our patronage.
