Seoul Food Restaurant

Capsule review:
Clara and Yoong Koo Byun began with a convenience store, turned it into a Korean deli, and now run a little restaurant with carryout and table service. This is home cooking, Korean style. Clara Byun is eager to tell you what is in her soups and noodle dishes. Her pancakes are very thin and crisp, the spicy pork bulgoki is luscious with caramelized and sticky edges, and the bibim-bap in a stone pot is superb. Quiet.

Extremely horrible service, food was just fair and price was expensive compared to other Korean restaurants nearby. They treat families with kids like lepers and serve food on cheap plastic plates and cups. Try WuChon House in Somerville or Kaya in Porter Square.

I went to Seoul Food with my husband with the hopes of eating a great meal. We ordered two appetizers and one main entree. The owner got upset with us because she said we each needed to order a menu. We politely asked her why we needed to do such and she explained that there were only a certain number of seats in the restaurant and so everyone needed to order an entree. She then proceeded to take our menus and walk away. We took our cue from her and stood up and left. The strangest thing was that it was a quiet weekday night and there were only two other people eating in the restaurant. I work near Seoul Food Restaurant and have yet to see more than five people eat in the restaurant at the same time!!! Uhm my advice, go to Chung Ki Wa in Medford.... better prices and service
