We dined there recently for the first time in years. We regretted not being regular customers. The whole experience was wonderful. We had Korean BBQ, gobbled up the appetizer of fried veggie potstickers (Kun Man Doo), and drank the bottle of rice liquor with great joy. YELPer Maureen F said pretty much what I was going to say verbatim: "Soju (rice liquor) and Bokbunjajoo (Korean Berry Wine) are the perfect start to any Korean meal because they are true Korean Beverages and perfect for palate cleansing. The Kimchi that is served is amazing as are all the other side dishes that come with each meal. Lettuce wraps, rice, and soup are served with all BBQ entrees. This is the absolutely perfect and correct way to enjoy such a flavorful meal." I could not have said it better. I concur. When my wife and I walked out of this restaurant we felt satisfied but not overfull, and the food made us feel good for hours after. I'm smiling as I think about it. Now that I have written this, I am craving Korean BBQ. We must go back again very soon. This will become a habit. allmenus.com/wi/milwauke…

Vegetarian steamed dumplings were very good, my wife had the seafood Raman and was good, I had the seafood soup that the owner said had allot of seafood. It had almost no seafood. Very disapointed...

This is a hit or miss....but I have had a variety off their menu and my favorite is the kimchi chigae. Love how it is plentiful with kimchi and slices of pork. The interior is not as nice as stone bowl grill and the exterior may confuse you a bit but the service is really good. Everyone here is really friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Just one request please...wish you were open for lunch.

I'm visiting MKE for business. Have eaten here couple of times. I'm Korean. 1) I think the place is owned by a Chinese chef. But unlike another similar ownership, the Chinese chef learned how to cook these dishes properly. But variations may not work in your favor. 2) Do not order the steamed dumplings. Soggy and mushy. I wasn't expecting much since it's frozen dumplings, but the steamed ones bring out the worst in these dumplings. If you want them, order the fried version. 3) Their stews/soups have been spot on for my taste. It's garlicky enough and spicy enough. The chef is very heavy on the spice so be aware when they say "spicy". 4) Their kimchi is very ripe - in food and as banchan (i.e., side dish). If you like fresh ones, I'm not sure if they can accommodate. 5) Decor/ambiance - it's really dark in there. I wish I can see my food better. 6) Service can improve, but not truly lacking. 7) Seems a bit expensive in comparison to Chicago, but then I see that Asian food in MKE is more expensive than Chicago generally. Overall, I appreciate them serving decent Korean food in a town full of beer and brats.

Pretty good food for a decent good price. To me, everything is just a bit above what it seems it should cost by like $2, but that could be that I got used to cheap Korean food over in Asia. It seems like Thai food around here doesn't get the same markup, but then again there are only two Korean places in the area I know of and the second one is relatively new. Their food is solid. I love that you can get as much of the sides as you want, they don't nickel and dime you over that. From what I have had here, the bibim bop is good, the bulgogi hot bowl is good but I needed to add kimchi to it, and the squid in the spicy squid bowl was a bit tough/overcooked. I like to go here once in a while, but it's not a common stop for me.
(3)Drexel R.
My brother and I had a great experience here. The atmosphere was excellent as well as the food. Hite is an excellent beer and it is a must try. However, the restaurant is very small and the spacing is a bit too tight. I heard there used to be a buffett here. That would've been awesome if it were present.
(5)Myndiy Y.
Excellent restaurant! Must experience for yourself. Saturday night 04/26/14: Their customer service was awesome and food was delicious! Nice relaxing atmosphere with K-pop music playing in the background and Korean TV channel on. A little dimmed lighted though, but besides that it would be a perfect hangout date for you & your lover ^_* (and good for anyone who just wants to hang out and eat delicious Korean food with friends). Oh yes almost forgot to mention the fairly affordable prices of the food and free water & hot tea! I will most definitely be going back when I feel like eating Korean food. Sorry no photos, the food didn't even have time for a "photo shoot" before my friends and I consumed the delicious side dishes and rice bowl, then along with our entrees. :) 1.) Side dishes was delicious along with a bowl of rice. Had like 3-4 refills of the side dishes. 2.) My 2 entrees were mouth watering super delicious (Jap Chae and boneless beef kalbi). 3.) I tried my friend's entrees which was Jajang myeon and pork belly (super delicious). 4.) Other friend's dish was friend rice and spicy chicken (also super delicious).
(5)Kristina S.
Sooo good! Even if I didn't enjoy the food I would come back for the service. The chef even came to our table to make sure we loved everything. Fun place for a date night.
(5)Shannon C.
We go here relatively frequently -- it's so close to our house, and in the fall/winter months, Korean food is the best! Hae-mul pancake is my FAVORITE. JJang bong, seafood ramen, Korean BBQ beef... the list goes on and on. Their menu is extensive and authentic, from what I hear from those who have lived in Korea. Their service is a bit off at times, but the owner always comes out from the kitchen to ask how our meal is. He is so nice! He has accommodated me several times with my weird requests (I don't eat meat but eat seafood, etc.). I adore this place. It's eclectic and delicious.
(4)Elissa B.
A fun foray into Korean food! We waited a bit to be acknowledged, but once the waitress came over, we were never neglected again. I was a bit nervous about what to order, but our sweet server lead us through some good options. Bring us your biggest pile of food please! We tried a selection of the more well-known Korean foods (ask me their names and you'll get a blank stare in reply), and each one was eaten by the four of us in a moment. Something noteworthy is that I don't eat beef. It is creepy and weird and I just don't want it. But...I tried it here. And it was REALLY good. The thinness of it made it more palatable since I don't like the usual texture of that meat. Flavors were all-around great, but like Jessica O (whose review is much better) said, we could have had spicier dishes. The chef came out at the end to check on us and gave us a fistful of candies. The staff was very sweet, the food is worth coming back for, and now I know how to find this place.

Another one bites the dust! (... err... check another one off the list.) Seoul: I've known of your existence for years yet I hadn't stepped foot into your unassuming little location ever, until last Wednesday night. I'm so glad I did! As Milwaukee's only Korean restaurant (correct me if I'm incorrect, but I don't believe I am) Seoul carries a heavy burden on its shoulders. If you're the only one doing what you do in a metro area, it's probably best you do it right. Good news: they do! I was so very pleased with our experience at our large group dinner. Appetizers: Modem Jun Sik (fried squid/shrimp, pan-seared dumplings), and Yangyum Boo Doo (fried tofu) = delightful! My entrée: Here's where I space on the name, but it was this lovely little steak dish with rice, vegetables and flavorful spice. (I had actually asked our server to spice it up a bit, so I think that's why I found it extra awesome.) Service: one server on and the restaurant was full. Needless to say, we waited. And it's cool, b/c we had split checks for the first time ever in Supper Club history and we knew it would take awhile. (Don't worry, we asked her prior if it was okay. Actually, I think she asked us? Anyways... ) Four stars for solid fare in a sweet little hidden spot right off Prospect. Check it out, you guys. Next time: Sutbul Kalbi! (Korean BBQ)
(4)Expected C.
My group and I went during dinner time and ordered the LA Kalbi, Samgeupsal, Soondubuchigae, Dulsot bibimbap, and the Jjam Ppong. The food taste was pretty good and the service was fantastic. The waitress and waiter continuously made sure we weren't short on water or anything. The place had a cozy feeling to it, which made it a plus. Only things I had to complain about was the portion sizes. For $13 worth of dishes, I was expecting a bit more food on the plate and the side dishes fall short of what I was used to.
(4)Nathan T.
Great Korean restaurant with a very friendly staff. Order the spicy pork, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Bao Y.
First time going to Seoul Korean Restaurant, went on a Wednesday at 4:30 because that's what time it says it is open but the menu list lunch times starting at noon. Kind of confused about this but the food is pretty legit. Started off with the soup of the day, boiled beef and radish, nothing fancy, the flavors were simple and refreshing though I do think I would have liked this during my meal rather than at the beginning. For our appetizers we had fried squid and seafood pancake, the fried squid was okay, nothing spectacular and it came with a sweet sauce that I didn't care for. Now if you've read my review about Stone Bowl (the only other Korean Restaurant in Milwaukee) then you'll know that I was not impressed with their seafood pancake at all, which is why this one was so on point I almost cried, served flat and crispy, it was the best part of the meal. Next we had the Sam yeop sal (sorry for the spelling) basically pork belly served with lettuce and soybean dip, I loved it! My dol sot bi bam bop was good too though I think I should have asked for more sauce and I was so full by the time I got it I don't think I got a chance to really enjoy it. For the most part I like making Korean food at home because I like to experiment and try to expand my cooking but if I'm ever too lazy to cook and I want Korean in Milwaukee, this is where I will come. Keep up the good work Seoul!
(4)Chris C.
Great food with a wonderful and friendly family atmosphere
(5)Samantha T.
I miss the wonderful lunch buffet but after a couple years of craving the spicy pork I finally ordered some night time takeout. $14 seemed a little steep, especially because I could have gone without the soup, but the spicy pork is still the same wonderful dish. I love it.
(4)Eugene C.
Food is good, price is ok. The options kinda few than New York, but it's ok. Lemonade is not refillable. The tanned Asian girl is hot, and the white guy is cute.
(5)J. M.
Delicious food, wonderful hospitality!
(4)Olivia M.
The food was delicious and the owners were wonderful. We will definitely be going back. I want to try everything on the menu.

I know, pulling your car into the parking lot at Seoul kind of makes you wonder what it's going to be like... but don't fret, the interior is nice. Inside you're instantly bombarded with olfactory sensations... Kimchi! Spicy noodles! Watermelon! Rice! Spicy pork! All kinds of pickled vegetables! Okay, I'll admit, I've only been to Seoul for the lunch buffet. But the lunch buffet is good. Super fresh food. Arrive early, it does end around 2:30. Build your own lettuce wraps, stuff them with rice, kimchi, tasty meats and dip them in chili sauces. I've never had a bad experience here, however, during my last visit, my water cup was filled too frequently. I know that shouldn't be a bad thing, but seriously, '1 sip gone, 1 sip replaced' is noticeable. It was breaking my lunch concentration. Anyways, go to Seoul and stuff your face (with kimchi).
(4)Sarah W.
This sounds silly, but one of the reasons that I really like eating at Seoul is their side dishes. They're always slightly different, without varying the staples like kim chi, so it's fun to try different things. On one of my most recent visits to Seoul, my husband and I asked if they sell their kim chi (which is FANTASTIC by the way). Unfortunately, they don't, but our waiter packed me a small container for free. Overall, the food is great and the service is awesome. My favorite is the lettuce wraps, followed closely by the bibimbop. I really wish that they didn't stop doing their lunch buffet. :( I suppose it's probably a good thing for my wallet, otherwise I'd be eating there even more frequently, haha!
(5)Shin E.
Pretty damn horrible. I've been here a lot over the years and couldn't take the horrible service anymore. This place was on Dirty Dining, and supposedly cleaned up their act. Every white server there has been horrible. Food comes out crazy late, not together with other orders, and not with the side dishes. They're also terrible with drink refills. On multiple occasions during the lunch buffet, I've seen giant flies buzzing around the food. This place used to be okay, but now it's just sad. The only reason people think it's good food is because it's the only Korean restaurant in town, and they're not Asian enough to know better.
(1)Beni H.
I've been wanting to come here for a long time and finally made it. First of all it's location is on the eastside so naturally the parking is a bit sucky. There is a tiny parking lot in the front of the building, but it fills up quick! The restaurant itself is small but clean and we were seated right away. We started off with a kimchi pancake, steamed dumplings and soju (yes lawddddd!). Everything arrived quickly and the pancake was crispy and delicious, can't speak on the dumplings cause the hubs promptly ate them all before I got a chance, boo! We ordered Kalbi and a spicy pork bibimbap. The kalbi was tender, well seasoned and the portion was just right. With plenty of lettuce to wrap it in along with bean paste my belly got full quickly. The bibimbap was flavorful and the portion was served in a large stone bowl. The sides were ok, loved the kimchi and the squid, try the anchovy if you like it spicy and the potatoes and zucchini sides I could take or leave. Closer to the end of the meal the chef came out to greet us and asked how the meal was. Overall this was a great experience. I've had better in Chicago but this is Milwaukee's only Korean restaurant and it wasn't bad at all so I will totally support it! I'll be back to try their Jjajangmyeon soon!
(4)Jasmine L.
My favorite place to take my friends when they visit me from another town. They love the food. The chef is Korean and sometimes he comes out to check out to see how his customers are liking the food. Make sure to try Jajamyeong, noodles in black pea sauce.
(5)Freddie M.
Disclaimer: Now don't think my review is suspect just because I'm going to tell you that I've never really had "authentic" Korean food before this. Lets just say this food was fire! The one thing I have come to know about good Asian food joints is that Asians flock to them. I was the only white person there other than the staff and my Malaysian girlfriend complemented the food. Therefore, I'm sold and you should definitely try this place without hesitation. I never knew it existed and they told me it has been around for almost nine years now. It's one of those little hole in the wall joints that appears to be owned by an older Korean couple. The staff was great, the food came out quickly and it was all reasonably priced. The "k-pop" they were playing in the background was somewhat annoying, but the food makes you forget about anything else. I am most definitely stopping here again on my next visit to The Wauk and I suggest you do too.
(5)Ariel W.
Went here for their lunch buffet on a Thursday a little after 12:30 pm. The service was fast and friendly. They kept all the dishes well stocked. What was in the hot steamers was hot and what was on the salad bar was well chilled. They had 2 kinds of kimchi(cabbage & radish), pancake(pajeon) lettuce leafs, fruit, cookies(almond &macaroon) a spicy noodle dish and other condiments in the salad bar. Two types of rice(white & brown) In the hot steamers they had fried chicken, spicy pork, beef bulgogi, seaweed soup, japchea, fried rice and a spicy clam stew with vegetables. The place looks run down from the outside but inside its clean and well decorated.
(4)Maureen F.
Full disclosure: I love korean BBQ. I have eaten it in many times in Koreatown in NYC, Baltimore, Chicago, and count Seoul Milwaukee as another favorite place to enjoy one of my favorite meals. Many in the MKE don't even know that Seoul exists. Personally, I think everyone should enjoy Korean BBQ because IT IS SO DAMN GOOD but at the same time...I love my little secret gem of a restaurant on Prospect and Kenilworth. Soju (rice liquor) and Bokbunjajoo (Korean Berry Wine) are the perfect start to any Korean meal because they are true Korean Beverages and perfect for palate cleansing. The Kimchi that is served is amazing as are all the other side dishes that come with each meal. Lettuce wraps, rice, and soup are served with all BBQ entrees. This is the absolutely perfect and correct way to enjoy such a flavorful meal. I do believe this is the only Korean restaurant in Milwaukee but Seoul does it so well, no others are needed. The service is excellent and remarkably friendly. If you have any questions, the servers are extremely knowledgeable and do well explaining the wide variety of dishes on the menu. I only take people here who have adventurous palates. It's worth the experience.
(5)Nikki F.
Seriously my new favorite restaurant. Such a cool atmosphere with the best food ever. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Rick R.
Seoul is among my very favorite Milwaukee restaurants, maybe top 10. I've dined for dinner and lunch and loved every bite! Their lunch buffet features bulgogi beef, spicy pork, chicken, noodles, fried rice, steamed rice, various veggie entrees, a fried appetizer, and more types of kimchi than you can handle. For dinner, I've enjoyed the Kalbi beef ribs which comes with lettuce wraps and kimchi to be eaten the way it was meant to be. The meat is boneless, which I prefer because I don't like to work when I eat. Another favorite of mine is the Hot Pot. They have several versions, but the one I had various meats, tofu and seafood mixed into a spicy broth with noodles. LOVE THE HOT POT! It's a lot of food, so you'll want to share with at least 2 other people. I've probably been to Seoul 12-15 times and never had a bad meal or bad experience. Good consistency is the key to success and longevity in the restaurant business. It also earns 5 stars from me.
(5)Kelvin V.
I love Korean food. Unfortunately, there are not many Korean food options in Milwaukee. As a result, I came to Seoul Korean at least once a month. Is this the best Korean in the world? No. It is a solid Korean option in Milwaukee? For sure. I typically get the soondubuchigae and haemul pajeon. Soondubuchigae is a deliciously spicy, tangy, soft tofu soup that is eaten with rice. Soft tofu has a texture similar to flan and may not be one that everyone enjoys. The beef version of the soondubuchigae is good. I've accidentally gotten the seafood version before; I didn't enjoy it. Haemul pajeon is a seafood and scallion pancake. The seafood includes shrimp and squid. It's big, and there's plenty for two or three people to eat. The pajeon comes with a predominantly soy sauce dipping sauce. The one at Seoul Korean is a little too strong (salty) for me, so I use it sparingly. The ratio of seafood and scallions to batter is also a little too heavily weighted towards batter. Banchan--small side dishes--are a staple of Korean meals, and I'm always a little disappointed that I only get three kinds at Seoul Korean. The ones that you do get are good. The kimchi is strong, sour, and spicy, without being overpowering. I've also tried the bibimbop, which was pretty good. In early 2013, the restaurant underwent some changes: new menu, new decor, etc. I can't say that I noticed any differences in the quality of food pre- and post-changes. There's a little parking lot in front of the restaurant that makes parking easier than other for other restaurants on Prospect.

I would request that you put your dumpster in back of the restaurant, not in front. There's a good chance you walk right past the dumpster before you go inside. During warmer months, this is atrocious and you'll not want to set foot in the place. I'm sure the food is great, but so turned off from this dumpster issue (mind you it has also leaked all over the sidewalk and you can smell 20 feet away) from walking past that I've not built up the courage to go inside.
(1)Lucy R.
I was in town visiting my family when while we were wandering around just talking we came across this place. Now when I lived in Milwaukee there were no Korean restaurants, but living in Austin it is one of my many wonderful options. So I was excited to share this type of yumminess! Luckily, this place was quite nice with tasty foodage. The staff were very patient with out table and we had lovely time.
(4)Elizabeth Z.
As strange as it sounds, this is a place I generally go to as my drunk food haven, and usually more than not, by myself. I know, most people wouldn't consider even stepping into this establishment, in favor of some greasy pizza or brat. But, what can I say? The cold fish cake, kimchi, and variety of other side dishes along with the Dol-sot Bibimbap (with mushrooms, soft yummy meat, rice, carrots and more veggies, and an over easy egg) hit the spot in a way a greasy alternative could not. Now, this isn't to say I haven't been here sober. In one situation or another, the food is phenomenal with a clean edge to it without feeling super full. I would also recommend the Beef Bulgoki for people that might not feel adventurous enough to go for the bibimbap or other menu options. The dish comes with a side of rice and lettuce wraps, yum! My SO, my example picky eater, enjoyed it despite not wanting to step foot in a "weird food place". Next on my list is to try the hot pot, but I will definitely have to wait for winter to try that. Until then, you will find me on a Friday or Saturday night slowly and clumsily eating my way through some delicious, spicy, Korean food with chopsticks and a spoon.
(5)Stephen M.
I really like this place, and I want to love it, but there's always something that takes it away. The food there is usually a 4 out of 5, but my last visit had us eating the big bowl with spicy chicken for two. It was decent, but nothing that was really that flavorful. I've had better from them, and my usual stand-by's, either the eel or the bibimbop, have always been solid dishes with a lot of flavor and consistency. The appetizers are pretty solid, featuring tasty dumplings and kimchi, and the noodle and rice dishes are good as well. Tea selection is pretty varied, and, if you like trying something different, I'd recommend the soju. It's an alcohol similar to vodka, but with a sweeter taste, that you drink straight. It's not too pricy, and they have a small bottle that's pretty cheap. Service tends to be erratic at best. I've had great times there where the chef has come out to chat and bring tastes to times like my last visit, where the server brought our little side dishes (kimchi, squid, etc) and outright told us she didn't know what any of it was. It's good enough that I'll keep going back, but I always wonder if it'll be the first time I love it or just another visit that coasts by.
(3)Song J.
This place got some really nice food! My dad and I went there around 3PM on a Friday; so there was only the two of us in the restaurant. The place is small but very Korean. They were even playing a Korean movie when we were there. There is a wide variety of items on the menu. Highly recommend the jasmine tea. It tastes as good as it smells. The peach tea is very subtle. The two of us ordered three entries - and finished all three. The eel covered rice is very tasty. We had a little rice left to take home and the chef gave us some extra sauce to go with that. I ordered a squid rice (both of these were in rock cookers which keep them warm for a loooong time). We also had the BBQ beef. The traditional way is to dip the meet in the sauce and wrap it in the lettuce, but it's tasty however you want to eat it. The wait was a bit long since there were anybody else there. But the food really worth the wait.
(4)Sam H.
Moving to Milwaukee, where the selection of Asian food is quite limited, I was quite please to have discovered a truly authentic Korean restaurant. To start off, Seoul gives you many small little side dishes that taste amazing. My favorites were the cucumbers, but the Kim Chi is also perfect (a little spicy though). Me and my friend split a Korean beef hot pot (which is $15 a piece), which kept warm in true Asian style with a kerosene burner. The meet and noodles themselves were quite tasty (sweet tangy flavor), although really hot. Make sure to let it cool down for a bit before biting in. The server (who is Mongolian) was super friendly, plus always quick and fast with refills on the appetizers and rice (both free). Although a bit on the pricier side for Asian food, I can say it was worth it. Whenever someone comes in from out of town and craves Asian, I always will take them to Seoul Restaurant. Note: 4 Stars if this was located in big city like Dallas. But for Milwaukee, you can't get better then this!
(5)Chris A.
No more buffet...
(4)Catherine G.
There is only one thing I order when I come to Seoul: the Kalbi beef short ribs! After you order your entree, they start you off with a bowl soup. It's always the same soup: small cubes of wintermelon in a clear broth. My sig other doesn't really like it, so I always get two bowls...SCORE! Then after that, they bring out lots of little plates of complementary appetizers. My favorites include the pickled cucumber and salted fish. Now comes the main event -- I start salivating as I see them bring out the ribs on a flaming hot skillet. I hear sizzles and pops as the meat continues to get charred on the skillet. I can't wait to put a piece in my mouth! I grab a piece of lettuce, smear on a small amount of white rice, and then put 2 juicy pieces of kalbi beef in between to complete my little lettuce wrap. It tastes like heaven! My only gripe is that that they debone the short ribs. It makes it much easier to make the lettuce wraps, but the reality is that the ribs would taste even more succulent and juicy if it was bone-on. It is the only Korean restaurant in Milwaukee - but even if there were 2, I pbb would still keep coming to Seoul!
(4)Chase L.
I am really sorry for residents in Milwaukee area who may think this is Korean food. How could they survive with the food quality like this and this is the only Korean restaurant one hour north of Chicago? Wisconsin has a good reputation for the quality of its restaurants. But what happened to its Korean restaurants? There are always Korean restaurants in almost every city in the United States but I have to say this one was probably the worst.
(3)Irene H.
I just never had a worse korean meal in the US. The rice cake was horrid, if it was not for the fact that I haven't have my breakfast I wouldn't want to touch it. The tables are not cleaned and the place smells .... We were given the soup of the day...I really don't know what it is , it's like clear water + salt. I don't know about the rice buffet, but if anyone can say that this place have good korean food, surely he/she has not try many authentic ones.
(1)Andrei S.
I live two blocks away, but this place always looked too sketchy. I've asked my friend, who is a vegan, what was the biggest surprise in her dining experience in Milwaukee and to my surprise, she said Seoul is a 'must' to try. The decor was nice and authentic. Looked pretty clean as far as i can tell. Went there on saturday night for dinner. As as my friend promised, it's exceeded my expectations! We started off with Kun Man Du, a vegan fried dumpling (5). I'm a big fan of smoked eel sushi and seafood in general, so i've ordered Jang Uh Dup Bob, fresh water eel in a sweet brown sauce. It came with rice and side salad. Generous portion of fish. Salad was nothing special and it had 1000 Island dressing. My girlfriend had Dol Sot BiBimBob. Which is rice topped with vegetables a bit of beef (or tofu) and an egg served with a chili pepper paste in a heated stone bowl. Overall everything tasted great and service was great and attentive. I'll definitely come back for dinner and to try their lunch buffet.
(5)Mjsnabe L.
I LOVED this place. Stopped there today for lunch to find the lunch buffet closed due to high costs to operate. I believe they are open for dinner. I will miss it. I wish they would have just charged more to make up for it. Maybe $8 for the first plate and $4 for each additional plate. So saddened.
(5)A D.
I love kimchi fried rice and kimchi pancakes so I was very excited when I found both items on the menu at Seoul. You get a variety of side dishes and they bring out more when you finish your favorites. I can't say whether or not the dishes are authentic or top notch but so far, I can't complain. As mentioned by other reviewers, Seoul is the only Korean restaurant in Milwaukee - even if it isn't as great as what other bigger cities have to offer, it's the only place I can get a kimchi fix, so be it. The waiters were super and seemed very conscious about filling my glass of water - all I can say is I never reached the half way mark once. The chef came out a few times to greet and chat with the customers which I thought was a nice gesture. Dine in, carry out, whichever...Seoul is a quaint little place and it deserves a try.
(4)Jessica Z.
I've had several good-to-great experiences here for dinner, but the lunch buffet is a mixed bag. Last week I arrived at 1:15 (it ends at 2:30), and after ordering tea and going up to the buffet, there was NO rice and NO kimchi! Also, out of beef bulgogi and spicy pork. Um, kind of important stuff at a Korean restaurant. Occasionally there is a super-weird fish stew with chunks of a silver-skinned mackerel-type fish, AVOID unless you grew up with that.
(3)Iroh P.
We went here (unknowingly) between thier lunch and dinner services and they still served us ^_^. The food wsa like a symphony in my mouth. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Even the chef came out to find out what we thought. I totally recomend this place to anyone who likes Korean food!!!! Also the Korean Honey Citron tea they serve it rocks!
(5)Ji-In L.
I am giving this place 3.5 but rounding up to 4 stars because it being the only Korean restaurant in Milwaukee, I'd like it to stick around for a while. I only had the lunch buffet, but it was decent for buffet food. And from what I recall, it was cheap too. Pretty much just had the bulgogi (marinated beef) and japchae (vermicelli noodle dish) -- that may have been all they had plus some run of the mill banchan (side dishes) like kimchi, bean sprouts, and spinach. I'm not sure if they do Korean BBQ at the table, but I'd call and ask first if that's what you're craving because I don't recall seeing any grills. Sure, I've had better Korean food in pretty much every other city, but I'd hate to give it low marks when it's the only one doing it in the city and it's doing a decent job at it. It's Milwaukee, people. Unfortunately not known for Korean cuisine and you can't really compare it to Chicago, NY, or LA. I'd go back. Now, if I go back and order off the menu and they really mess up the greatest cuisine in the world, then a follow up review will be in order!

Overall the place definitely warrants a second trip with the variety of the menu. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants something Asian that's a little out of the norm -- especially if you eat a lot of Chinese food.

I was dying for some Korean food when I visited my cousin in Milwaukee. She found this one online. We arrived and were hopeful when we saw several Korean people eating what looked to be delicious food. We were wrong and were horribly disappointed. We ordered the seafood pancake as an appetizer. It was the the smallest and thinnest seafood pancake ever. It should have been crispier. My cousin ordered the Kalbi short ribs. She was quite surprised to see that it came out with no bones! What sort of short ribs come without bones? Besides that, it was lacking in flavor and was fattier than expected. I ordered Dolsot Bibimbap. While all of the essential ingredients were there, the flavor was lacking something that even large amounts of the spicy chili paste couldn't help. We felt let down and unsatisfied. Would not recommend this at all!!!

As a transplanted New Yorker who is used to enjoying amazing Korean food whenever the craving strikes, I can vouch that Seoul Korean Restaurant is pretty authentic. The dolsot bibimbap, which is probably the entry dish for folks new to Korean food, is spot on and really good. For the uninitiated, bibimbap means "mixed meal," and consists of warm rice, pickled and/or seasoned veggies, beef or tofu, and served with an egg on top. Chili-bean paste, or gochujang, is provided on the side. Bibimbap can be served in a standard serving bowl or a heated dolsot, or "stone pot". When served in a heated dolsat, generally the egg on top is raw or lightly cooked. (At Seoul Korean perhaps they know Americans are squeamish so they serve the egg over-medium.) When the dish is brought to the table, you quickly stir the egg together with the rice, veggies, beef, and chili-bean paste. Usually the dolsot is so hot that not only does the egg cook as it is mixed with the rest of the meal, but the rice on the bottom and around the sides of the pot sizzles and forms a yummy toasty tasting crispy layer. Something to look forward to at the end of the meal! Seoul Korean's bibimbap will feed one person generously. But my boyfriend and I shared one and also split a kimchi pancake that was served with spicy soy sauce. The pancake itself was not too spicy and is similar to scallion pancakes you find at Chinese restaurants. Our 10-year-old fellow diner who has very discriminating tastes really enjoyed the chicken bul-go-ki bento box from the children's menu consisting of marinated and roasted chicken, beef dumplings, noodles, fruit, and cookies. Not the healthiest, but we were excited that she was able to try something new. Note that this restaurant is not overly vegetarian friendly. If ordering the bibimbap you need to be clear that you don't want beef in the mix.

Been wanting to visit for years and loved it. The food was great and I found that their suggestions were right on!

A dear friend took me here while I was visiting Milwaukee. It was alright but I've had way better Korean food in dinkytown (here in MN). Unfortunately, Milwaukee doesn't have many Korean places. Thanks, Joey for taking me here & paying - but I don't think I'll be returning!

I wish I could give this place 4 stars because it is Milwaukee's one and only Korean restaurant but the lack of true Korean selection and some mediocre dishes (you'll read them later) keep it a 3 star review. Now...if you're going to compare this place to restaurants in California, Chicago, Boston and New York, you are probably going to be disappointed. Mostly it is the selection, as this place doesn't dare stray too far from things that isolated, culturally conservative Milwaukeeans haven't seen or eaten, but I've had the pork bulgogi and kalbi, and they compare quite positively to other Korean places in bigger cities. Don't get the tofu soups as they are a little bland and don't have too much in them, despite the cheap price. The bi-bim-bop isn't that great either, although its not disgusting. It's pretty funny watching the waitresses (who aren't even Korean, I mean come on now) explain every little dish and how to eat them to customers, even me who is Asian. Sigh, only in Milwaukee. I also miss being ignored and treated like crap (which usually happens to you if you aren't Korean and go to a Korean restaurant). Maybe I'm being a little facetious but it is part of the experience. Anyways, the bad news is that it is Milwaukee's only Korean restaurant so if you're craving Korean food, you don't have much choice. The good news is that the food is pretty decent and for the most part as long as you know that your choices are limited, you'll probably not leave disappointed.

South Korea's Got Seoul! I ordered the kalbi beef short ribs and was very happy with my decision. The meat was succulent and thinking about it makes me what to make a trip back already! I sampled my friend's noodle dish and it was tasty too. It's a good alternative for any vegetarians, but the short ribs were the best. I'll be heading back to this restaurant for some Seoul food soon!

Must Try!! Growing up in a Korean family, Korean food was defn a staple. And moving to Milwaukee for school 3 years ago, I was defn missing the home cooking until I found Seoul. It is always delicious and never disappointing. They have a lunch buffet that is a steal at $7 or $8 dollars. For those of you who have yet to try Korean cuisine, the lunch buffet would be an excellent place to start so that you can try a bit of everything. Their menu is very diverse, and everything on the menu is fantastic. The atmosphere is pretty calm for the most part, and the wait staff is efficient and friendly. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. So if you want some authentic, fantastic Korean cuisine Seoul is the place to eat.
(4)Samer S.
Great food, i have been here a few times; the best was the lunch buffet, and i wish they would have it on Saturdays too (work to far to hit this place during lunch) I would go as far as saying this is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee, easily 5 stars.

The fact that this place is located in Milwaukee does not completely and totally get it a free pass, but it does count for something, and that's why I'm giving 4 stars. I saw this restaurant when it first came into existence, but never stopped in. Finally, after having tried many different Korean restaurants all over the country, I decided to give it a shot when life brought me back to Milwaukee. I crave Korean food on a daily basis, so I was quite excited that this place could be the answer to my prayers. I went at 12 on a Saturday. I just wanted take out. When I walked in, I was happy to see that there were quite a few people there. I was promptly greeted, however I did not know what I wanted, so I stood there and looked at the menu. During that time, I noticed that the waiter was quite busy and realized that maybe it was busier than I first thought. So, maybe Milwaukee does in fact have some sort of an appreciation for ethnic foods (sorry to break it to you all, but Wongs Wok does not count). As I was looking at the menu, I noticed all of the things that I would expect a Korean restaurant to have. So, I ordered bibimbap and kalbi. I asked for a side of kimchi, as it is on the menu, however the waiter told me that it is not available for carryout! Although a bit of an inconvenience, I had to google Asian grocery stores and run and pick up some kimchi. I just can't fathom the idea of eating Korean food without kimichi. So, I went back to pick up my food and took it home. My stomach was growling and my mouth was watering as the smell wafted through the air in my car. I kept trying to dig in the boxes for a taste whenever I was at a stop light, however I was quite unsuccessful. Once I got the food home, my coat got dropped on the floor and my shoes got kicked off and I was headed to the kitchen to dig in. Of course the bibimbap is not the same when it is not in a stone bowl, but it was okay. I've had better, but it certainly was satisfactory. The kalbi was tender and flavorful. It came with rice and leafs of lettuce, which I greatly appreciated. The portion was definitely sufficient. Along with the food, there were two dishes of soup, and three little cups of accompaniments. Yes, one of those cups was kimchi, but certainly not enough to last an entire meal. I just wish that I could have ordered a side of kimchi to go. Overall, I was quite pleased. About 50% of the Korean restaurants that I have eaten at did not include leafs of lettuce. They either were not available, or they had to be ordered at an extra cost. So, it was very nice that this place included them. I will go back to try some of the other things that they offer. I think that I might also have to make it back there during the week for lunch to try the buffet.

No idea how authentic it is since I'm not Korean at all, but the food there does taste pretty good provided it's not lunch buffet stuff (lunch buffet meat gets a bit dry). My impression was that some of the items were kind of fusion-like though (fish and avocados? Do they have something like that back there?). Overall, it is a nice cheap eat since you get plenty of relatively decent food and comfortable seating. The waitstaff are pretty friendly too.

This place is a gem. We had a wonderful meal. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious!

Worst Korean food in the world. And I mean that. I have had Korean food in England, Indiana, Illinois, California, Korea... As someone of Korean heritage, I crave Korean food every single day. So after craving Korean food for months I break down and go to this horrible restaurant (because it is the only one in the city) in the hopes of having a taste of home. I go there knowing that it is going to be awful and every time I leave I am seriously almost in tears because it is that unsatisfying. Today, I have vowed never to go back again. Not only was the quality of food awful as I expected, but the proprietors have proven that they aren't really even Korean at heart. I have never been to a Korean restaurant that charges for Kimchee, which is a stable of Korean food. And for those of you who think that it is a quality Korean restaurant because there are a lot of Asians who eat there. Whenever I've been in there, there may be Asians there, but from what I can tell they are not Korean and if they are, I can only guess that they are desperate like me and don't know how or don't have the time to cook Korean food for themselves. I already tell all my friends in Milwaukee that this is not a good representation of Korean food and ask that they not eat at Seoul Korean Restaurant because I would be embarrassed to have them think that this is what Korean food tastes like. And now I'm telling you, random internet people, that real Korean food tastes so much better then the swill that is served at that restaurant.
(1)Young K.
I'm torn. I've eaten Korean food since birth and this ain't it. On the other hand, I imagine that it's hard to keep a restaurant afloat and true to the culture, especially when the customer base doesn't know what real Korean food is.
(2)Jim F.
We love Korean food and were thrilled when the old Izumi's became a Korean restaurant several years ago. The ownership has changed a couple of times, but the food is very solid --- certainly good enough to satisfy the urge for Korean food that comes over us every couple of months. The staff is friendly and it is a good place for kids.
(4)Ian Y.
Went for the weekday-only lunch buffet. The spicy pork was perfect, and the kimchi was some of the best I've had.
(5)Kamran D.
pretty decent
(3)Terri D.
Awesome, authentic Korean food. Great prices and service. I would love to see them expand and offer table top barbeques like in Seoul.
(5)Chaplin T.
Really good food. I picked up carryout, and the chef brought it out personally. Not super cheap, but I didn't expect it to be.
(5)Emily K.
Headed down to Seoul for dinner the other night. I work a few blocks from the restaurant, drive by it every day and never noticed it before. My friend introduced it to me. While walking there I had no idea where she was taking me! But I am so glad we checked it out. The food was delicious. I loved the kimchi so much! My dinner was excellent. I also thought the wait staff was super, duper friendly.
(4)Aaron Y.
The lunch buffet has been one of my favorites for the past three years...maybe longer. I cannot remember when I first ate here. After an extended break from Seoul I went back a few weeks ago. The lunch buffet has expanded to include more items and each one is excellent. My favorite is still the spicy pork.
(4)Trinh F.
We were in for lunch last week. It's one of the best Korean restaurants! We've patronized many in southern CA where we moved from. The food was delicious and fresh. The service staff was attentive. We look forward to being regulars. They got 4 out 5 stars because the restaurant is unassuming from the outside.
(4)Danielle B.
This is my 4th visit to this place and it always hits the spot for my Korean craving. This place is close to authentic for being here in Milwaukee. I have eaten Korean food from San Francisco, Los Angeles and even South Korea. I actually study abroad in Korea for one year so I definitely had a fair share of Korean food. On this particular visit I ordered the Haemul Panchan and Dolsot bimbimbap. The seafood pancake appetizer and hot stone bowl rice dish are typical tourist type of food but I was just missing that flavor today. The pancake was too much dough and lacked seafood this time around. The dipping sauce was on point to supplement the flavor. So next time I recommend just trying the Kimchi Panchan. There's more flavor in that appetizer. I requested dolsot bimbimbap with the meat on the side. It's a personal preferences but overall the quality of the rice with the assortment of vegetables is always a safe dish. I request the beef on the side cause it's really disappointing in terms of quality or flavor. I almost want to say the dish is better with just veggies. The best part of the Korean dining experience is the service items of sides. The sides of the day included assortments of veggies, dried squid and kimchi. Kimchi lovers don't expect much it's definitely more on a fishy-er side than the robust spicy flavor that kimchi is famous for. I will definitely be back simply because there is no place that equals its authenticity. So if you are a fan of Stone Bowl, sorry you definitely have bought yourself an expensive Americanized version of Korean food.

When you are very young, befriend a native Korean. Stay close friends for decades. Save his dog's life. Remember every birthday. Send him huge Spam gift packs at Christmas. Then finally travel with him to his charming, quaint hometown. His mother, who is exceedingly grateful for your lifetime of friendship with her baby, thanks you in the only way she knows how: with heaps of authentic, rich, wholesome home cooking; recipes and techniques passed on for generations, and perfected with love for food and love for family. Real quality ingredients, scratch kitchen. Including the homemade kimchee. Prepared with what Koreans refer to as "country style," meaning hearty and down-home, not frou-frou contemporary fusion flair. The real deal. If it's too late for that, get the same treatment at Seoul Korean Restaurant. With my first bite of jopchae I could feel halmeoni smiling eyes, waiting with hope that I would love the dish with as much love as she put into it. It's the kind of food that makes you want to eat very slowly so that the experience lasts as long as you can stretch it out. It is a family business, with the emphasis on "family." Beautiful people making beautiful food.
(5)Jason M.
En route back home to Chicago, we stopped by Milwaukee for dinner. Came across Seoul and left unsatisfied. Bi Bim Bap veggies didn't taste too fresh, bulgogi was sparse, and Seafood Pancake was really greasy. The kimchi appetizer dish was also quite weird. I feel bad writing this review.
(2)Jen M.
I've only had the beef Korean BBQ here and honestly I love it so much, I can't imagine getting anything else instead off the menu. In fact, I have no idea what else is on the menu. Except great iced tea options. OK. I love the iced Jasmine Green Tea so much I will also probably never order anything else. I went right out and bought Jasmine green tea and now drink it daily. Anyways: The BBQ comes with fresh lettuce leaf wraps, bean paste, fish cakes, cucumber, and a few other delicious things. I recommend putting it ALL on the lettuce and gobbling it down. And there's potato soup on the side. Korean TV is on the big screen and the service is kind and breathtakingly swift (on weeknights, at least). Please try this place!!

This is one of those special little divey places that a lot of people don't know about and then once you find it you realize how cool this spot is. We ordered "free for all" style and shared everything and it was joyous! I'm a bit spoiled in learning Korean BBQ basics from Chicago where you get a little fire pit right at your table and order mounds of raw meat and whole garlic cloves to roast right there in front of your own face. It's pretty great. Definitely one of my most entertaining meals! However, I learned from Seoul Korean that Milwaukee has some sort of ordinance where the table pit isn't allowed -- Boo! Mke, if Chi can do it, why can't we? With that said, about half the fun that this could be is missing. What wasn't missing, thankfully, were the bountiful little side plates that fit kimchi, cucumbers, sauces and a multitude of other surprises to bite into. And if you would like more of anything - just ask. There is no limit to the sides and they readily refill them. The kimchi pancake was a new thing for me and my God was it grandiose! If you go - Get it. We also tried plates of beef and pot stickers (or were they dumplings?) and rice and a true signature Korean dish: BiBimBop. That's also a must-try! We didn't have drinks, just tea and our party of four managed to keep this under 17 bucks a person even though we tried so many things. Really, a great value. I'd definitely recommend it!

Little quaint Korean bbq restaurant. The place was packed. There was a 20 minute wait time. Servers were friendly. Food was okay. Maybe it was because it was busy on a Friday night that things might have gotten a little mixed up that food came out a little backwards from the little appetizers and soup coming out after the main meal. Overall though I'd say it was okay. I'd definitely give it another try to see if it could Make it to the 4/5 star mark.
(3)Meena V.
Not the *BEST* Korean food I've ever ever had, but for being the only Korean restaurant in Milwaukee, they represent pretty solidly. The menu is sizable, and the food well spiced (to a level you specify), and delicious! As a bonus, the waitstaff is friendly and great about explaining and suggesting items off the menu, making the place really approachable as a first Korean-food experience venue.
(4)Stephen G.
The buffet is Ok. I expect more than that. However, I am going to try something new there today for dinner.
(3)Jessica O.
Had a wonderful time at SKR last night. Cozied up with a fragrant cup of peach blossom tea and ordered anything and everything that sounded delicious - with some help from our very kind server. We had kimchi pancakes and fried dumplings for starters, and had a lot of fun mixing and matching them in the different sauces and sides that were presented. Then we split a big warm bowl of chicken fried rice, some bimimbap, and bulgogi. Everything was fantastic. I would like to try some of the spicier options on another visit though. We played it safe for a first time visit, but I could have handled a little more kick. Afterwards, the chef came out to check on how we liked everything, and give us candy, which is always appreciated. The only down side was that we were seated by a vent on the wall that was blasting cold air on us the entire time. So much so that most of us kept our jackets on - and they were so busy with a large party that there wasn't really a good place to move us to. But the warm tea and hearty fare (and our coats) kept us pretty toasty during our meal. Will definitely come back :)
(4)Michelle B.
Absolutely love this place! Staff is excellent, very knowledgeable about the menu. First came here for date night and now I'm back all the time!
(5)Patti N.
My husband and I went here for a date night as I have been craving Korean food. It was very tasty and the Manager was very nice to answer our questions and make recommendations. I loved the kimchi and beef bulgogi. The hot stone pot was interesting, looked great and tasted good too. Kimchi pancake was interesting appetizer. The service order was mixed up, but not a real problem getting appetizer, main dish and then soup.... Good price and fun atmosphere. Would definitely go again and try more different items.
(4)Linda B.
First Thoughts: YESSSS!!! What do I order: B3 la kal bi S8 kimchi chi Gae CRAVER ALERT: The Kimc Chi Gae Soup is amazing, so perfect for a cold day! Also the Kim Chi Pancake is amazing. Service: Pretty consistent, not the fastest but not super slow. No complaint. Parties? - You can create a large table but not for huge groups Good for... dates, fun interesting food and cute table in the back that is secluded but bring mints or gum the food has garlic! Also good for cold days, casual outings Reservation Need/Wait time: Rarely ever Parking: There is a small lot to park Atmosphere: Casual My Rating Scale: Rating: 5 stars - I'm definitely coming back, I'm addicted 4 stars- I'd come back and try other things the experience was great 3 stars- It was good but I wouldn't really go back 2 stars -It wasn't good but edible 1 stars -No thanks, thanks for feeding me.
(5)Cory K.
I ate here this past weekend and it was fantastic. Probably not the best Korean food I've had, but quite delicious nonetheless. Extremely friendly, attentive service, and reasonable prices. A shared hotpot and a kimchee pancake provided ample dinner for two, and enough leftovers for the next day's lunch, for only in the neighborhood of $40. My only complaint is that the sign outside is poorly placed and difficult to see from the road. I've driven past dozens of times and had no idea it was even there. I will definitely be back for more, next time I'm in town.

Disclaimer: This is comparing to Korean food out in the West Coast. Since this is pretty much the only Korean joint in MKE...It's not bad you live here and you're craving Korean food. If you're visiting...I would go somewhere else. Basically your typical Korean place. Small place with kpop playing on the speakers. They have a pretty thorough menu. You have your appetizers, noodles/rice cakes, rice dishes, BBQ, soups. They also serve you small plates including fish cakes/kimchee/pickled radish/spinach/etc... The owner/chef is also SUPER friendly and nice...so accommodating and even gave our group almond cookies b/c it was my friend's bday. Korean Pancakes: It was just alright. I wanted them more crispy as they were pretty soggy-like to me. BBQ meats = the flavor for the BBQ meat is actually pretty good but they give pretty little meat. The kalbi is nice because there's more short rib meat than bone. Their bulgogi is cooked with onions and bell peppers...a little different than I'm familiar with. The park belly was just okay. They serve lettuce and rice with the BBQ so I just make my own lettuce wraps w/ the side dishes. Yum. Dukbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) = I love rice cakes (gelatinous pasta-like things) and they make theirs pretty decent, but you really can't screw it up. It's on the spicy side. Soondubu (Spicy tofu soup) = Not bad...but not the best. Too bad they don't have eggs here so I can crack one in the soup... Overall...if I'm craving for Korean in MKE...I'll be here :)
(3)Rohan D.
This is the best Korean joint in Milwaukee. Well, it's the only Korean joint in Milwaukee. I used to live in a Korean neighborhood in Chicago, I don't think this place could compete there, but then, if they were on Bryn Mawr around Kimball, maybe they would try to specialize. They would certainly have to stay open later. In a Korean-American neighborhood there will be Korean noodle restaurants, Korean barbeque, Korean Japanese restaurants, and maybe even a bibimbop Korean fast food place. Since Seoul tries to do it all, I have found that my Korean favorites are all palatable, but none are great. Service can be indifferent, but that is kind of standard at Korean-American restaurants. If forced to say, I would suggest that their bibimbop is your best bet.
(3)Jenny H.
Very authentic Korean food! The seafood pancake was the best I ever had! The hot pot was amazing too! Loved the ramen and rice cake in it! The staff was super friendly too. The owner stopped by greeting as well. I saw someone posted the menu a few years ago, now they've upgraded their new menu, with lots of pictures and more items.
(5)Jason V.
I wanted to like this restaurant, I really did. But, I did not. I was disappointed. I may have just had a fluke of a mediocre meal, as I see many other people love it here. If you're looking to try Korean for the first time, I'd suggest elsewhere, and when you get a taste of what Korean food tastes like, maybe try this place out and make your own decision. The staff, on the other hand, are very friendly and accommodating!
