Seoul House - Wellington

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. <br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ Showstopper: Bulgogi stew...soooo good!! <br/ <br/ Overall grade: B+

My friends, who are regulars at Seoul House, took me there for dinner for the first time. The service was very friendly and quick. The waitress was attentive and promptly refilled our appetizers as soon as we finished them. The food was fantastic; the bulgogi and kimchi fried rice were the standout dishes among everything we ordered. I will definitely be returning!

I enjoyed a delightful lunch featuring kimchi stew with pork and tofu. It was served piping hot, perfect for a chilly winter day. The stew had a spicy and sour flavor, enriched by plenty of cabbage kimchi that paired well with the tofu. While there wasn't a lot of pork in the dish, I think it would have been just as good without it. The meal also included complimentary kimchi, cabbage, bean sprouts, and a sweet potato. The service was friendly, and since I arrived early for lunch, my meal was ready within just 10 minutes of ordering.

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.
