Great service and lots of space. With so many Korean BBQ in the area, those two points really stand out.
Food was good although it may be a bit higher than other Korean BBQs. Ordered two beefs and a pork belly. Pork belly wasn't as good as piggys and one of the beef was really tender while a second order wasn't as good.
But the fact that I didn't need to wait to be seated, had Lots of space so I didn't need to be crowded or lean in to listen to my guests, really made a difference. Nearby kobi was loud and crowded with limited parking. Seoul house was much better to access. And the servers were very friendly and prompt with their service.
It's an older restaurant but I will definitely be back.
3.5 stars out of 5.

I ordered two lunch specials: bean paste soup with grilled pork and steamed kimchi with pork. They were both on point, and we enjoyed our dishes. I especially enjoyed the number and quality of side dishes we got even though it was lunchtime. I would like to come back with my friends.

Came for lunch on a whim just based on the name! After all if it's called "Seoul House" how bad could the Korean food be, right?
The dining room is very spacious and they have pro vent hoods over all the cooking tables. I noticed there was also a side room with a few non-cooking larger tables available as well.
The waitress was quick to come by and take our orders which consisted mostly of BBQ meats including Kal Bi and Chicken. Also ordered a Korean dumpling soup and a Bimbim bum.
Overall the food was OK. Nothing amazing and had the prices been less it could have fetched four stars but at the price they charge for portions it is at best 3.5 star.
Service was decent. Waitresses were friendly and fairly quick to change the cooking plate when needed. We had to ask twice for some kimchi to be refilled but other than that nothing remarkable either good or bad happened.
Overall a decent choice but that's about it. -

Just came back from this horrible restaurant.
We made a reservation for dinner with my whole family with my future in-laws.
We chose this restaurant primarily for the table cooking, which had been informed already when making reservation.
We ordered 4 'Bulbogi' to be cooked at table, 2 Seafood and 2 Kimchi pancakes to start-off.
When they brought over the meat, it was just a regular Bulbogi already cooked in kitchen on a sizzling plate x4.
We told them we ordered meat for table cooking (hence why we were seated at this cooking table), and the waitress just kept on saying we ordered the sizzling plate not BBQ meat.
Then she told us to just keep the dishes as it already came out and then she will bring out raw meat for table cooking. We told her 'no' as it would be too much food at this point and they should take back the dish as that's not what we ordered.
She became really rude and started talking in a sarcastic voice to just keep the dish. No apologies.
My dad did not want to cause a scene as it was our first dinner with the future in-laws so we just ate it. They didn't even bring out rice that comes with Bulgogi until we asked for them.
2 of the seafood pancakes came out, but 2 kimchi ones never did and was charged on our bill.
The waitress didn't admit to her mistake, and basically told us 'too bad, just eat it'.
No effort to correct the mistake. Even the lady that was sitting by the entrance that seemed like the owner didn't bother to jump in and correct the mistake. Just sat and watched everything.
The waitress tried to make it up by bringing out miso soups for everybody which nobody drank, and sounded like she was doing us a favour.
The food was mediocre at best, price is over-priced compared to other Korean restaurants, and side dishes just weren't that good. There was nothing good about this restaurant, and does not even deserve 1 star.
I would not recommend anyone going to this restaurant. -

This is a great place for korean food, I don't know why they aren't more busy! Me and the wife usually go here whenever we're craving some korean food. The service is usually really good and friendly, and the food is authentic and excellent. Some of the BBQ items can be a bit expensive though, and maybe there are better places to get that kind of thing. For everything else though, their prices and quality are solid.
