New Seoul Restaurant

“ Dak do ri tang is the best. Been going here for years. Always call ahead if you want this food because it will take a bit time but it's worth it. I get it very spicy. Owner is very nice when I go. ”

“ Great authentic food, this is a small place but with big taste. They carry quite of selections. We ordered kimchi pancake, and steamed cod... it was great. They also serve stone cooked rice with every order.. We had to wait a bit, give them a try! ”

“ Small place but they have every Korean dishes you can imagine on their menu. Food tasted great and so were the side dishes. Highly recommend. ”

“ Very authentic korean homemade food. Delicious spicy squid and tofu vegetables soup are amazing. The lady was very helpful and polite. ”

“ Food was great and cheaper than most places. I ordered beef tofu soup, it was only 14.99 (!!!) and very tasty. Side dishes were great too. They even served the purple rice on stone pot! Amazing. You do need to be aware of the strong smell (not rotten food, just strong Korean sauces or fish I assume) when you first get in the restaurant though. I'm Chinese so I didn't mind too much but just a heads up. ”

“ Summary: New Soul Restaurant offers authentic Korean dishes that will impress any fan of the cuisine, though the strong smell when entering may catch you off guard. The food, especially the stone bibimbap and beef kimchi tofu soup, was excellent, and despite a slight delay with the appetizers, the meal was worth the wait. I’m giving it five stars for the quality and authenticity of the food, though the initial atmosphere and language barrier may require a bit of patience. Ambience (3.5/5): The restaurant has a cozy, casual atmosphere, but the strong, pungent smell—likely from fish sauce or another ingredient—can be a bit overwhelming at first. It wasn’t the most welcoming start, but once we got settled, the experience improved. The dining area itself is simple, but the focus is clearly on the food. Authenticity (5/5): If you’re craving true Korean flavors, this place delivers. The stone bibimbap we ordered was perfectly cooked, with a crispy rice crust at the bottom of the pot, which is exactly what you want in a good bibimbap. The authenticity of the dishes made the meal feel like a true Korean dining experience. Flavor (5/5): Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, especially the beef kimchi tofu soup. It’s usually served with pork, but they gladly substituted beef with no extra charge, which was a nice gesture. The kimchi pancake was good, though next time, I’ll definitely try the seafood pancake. The overall quality and taste of the food were exceptional. Cost (4.5/5): The prices were fair, especially considering the quality of the food. The portions were generous, and I appreciated that substitutions didn’t come with an extra charge. For the authenticity and flavor, it’s well worth the cost. Service (4/5): The service started off a bit slow, with a delay in getting our appetizers after the water was served. However, once things got moving, the staff were polite and attentive. Just keep in mind that the owner speaks limited English, but they are still very accommodating and friendly. Tips for Visiting: 1. Strong smell upon entry: Be prepared for a strong, pungent odor when you first walk in, likely from the sauces they use. It’s part of the experience but might take a moment to adjust to. 2. Order the stone bibimbap: The crispy rice at the bottom of the pot is a true testament to the authenticity of this dish—definitely worth trying. 3. Beef kimchi tofu soup: Ask for a substitution if you prefer beef over pork; they’ll make the switch for you with no extra cost. 4. Try the seafood pancake next time: While the kimchi pancake was good, I’ll be ordering the seafood pancake on my next visit, and I recommend giving it a try. 5. Service may be slow initially: Don’t be surprised if it takes a bit of time for appetizers to arrive, but once the meal starts, everything flows smoothly. ”

“ What an awesome place for Korean food. There are so many great and flavorful dishes here. I loved the grill mackerel which came with soft tofu soup and the side dishes. The side dishes tasted yummy and were classic ones; bean sprouts, fish cakes, kimchi, etc. The other member of the party got bulgogi which was fantastic as well. This place taste great and I would come back! ”

“ It was my first time yesterday to eat here. I ordered tofu stew. They served it along with side dishes. The lunch was so good! I admit I was happy while eating. I will visit here more often in the future. November 30th, 2023. Visited around mid afternoon. Food and service is always so delicious. We had beef short ribs and tofu stew. Thank you for keeping it authentic. ”
