Seoul has to be one of the best Korean restaurants in Adelaide. This place has been around for several decades and there is a reason for that. The food is amazing! Having dined here about a dozen times, I feel this place really sets the benchmark when it comes to traditional Korean cuisine. Tucked away in a small alley way, eating at Seoul is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

While the restaurant is not well decorated, it is clean and nicely presented. The classical music playing in the background relaxes you and sets the mood for some great food. The service at Seoul is exceptional. The staff and owner greet you with a friendly smile and pull up a chair for you when they escort you to your table. They brought water to my table without me even asking and even opened the door for me as I left. Sometimes it’s just the little things that enhance the dining experience.

Today, I ordered my favourite dish, the spicy bulgogi. The bulgogi was marinated well and perfectly cooked. The cabbage was fresh and crunchy. The serving size was generous and there was more meat than there were vegetables. The kim chi was exceptional, the rice perfectly cooked and the other Korean vegetables just added a new dimension to the already great flavours. To top it all off, the beautifully flavoured miso soup helped wash it all down.

As on previous occasions, my meal was delicious and very satisfying. I will certainly be back at this restaurant for more!
