I love Korean food and when we travel to big cities, I like to seek it out. We were staying in downtown Philly and decided to try Seorabol. The decor is fairly modern and comfortable. We just walked in on a Saturday night, without a reservation, and did get a table, but it filled up shortly after. I loved the bonchon they served after we sat down. I love kim chi and all things fermented; so it was a nice way to start our meal! I ordered the kimchi fried rice with shrimp, which was good, but I probably wouldn't order again. The flavor was one note, I wish it had more veggies in it and I'm not sure why it is served on a bed of melted cheese. My husband got to hot Bibimbop bowl (the hot one), and he paid extra for bulgogi beef. This was a very flavorful dish that I highly recommend!! I also had a couple of the pomegranate soju drinks which I enjoyed; similar in taste to a vodka cranberry.
This was my first experience at a Korean restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was prompt and cordial. The waitstaff also helped to navigate the extensive menu.
Friendly service but food is on the expensive side especially the galbi, it was like 35$ before tax, the food was decent and pretty authentic though, I had the seafood stew, the japchae and galbi, all the main dishes came with rice and the little "kimchi" plates as sides. And they play Korean variety show in the background.
We enjoyed the army stew ($40) and the special that came with Galbi, bulgogi, and two pork meats ($90). Love that they use charcoal for their grills. The waitress cooked everything for us. We really enjoyed our dinner. Our party of 3 had a lot of leftovers.
Came back a few more times and I stand by this place as a consistent, authentic Korean restaurant! I love the variety of side dishes here and the ingredients are always fresh! Big portions too! I always leave here with leftovers.
Coming from California, I have pretty high standards for Korean food as the Korean food scene in LA is amazing. Having recently moved to Philly though, I'm happy to have found Seorabol to get my fix! I had the bibimbap and the tteokbokki and while the hot stone bibimbap was great, the tteokbokki wasn't want I expected. I usually go to Yupdduk in California, and compared to that this tteokbokki was a lot sweeter. It also came with. A variety of veggies like mushrooms and onions which I've never seen. The rest of the group seemed to really enjoy it though! I'm just not a fan of sweet and spicy. Overall, I would recommend it. It's a large restaurant so great for groups! We came with a group of 14 on a Friday and had no issues. There's also a dedicated parking lot with ample parking.
I had a small family birthday dinner here at Seorabol. I love coming here because I love their galbi!! I can never get enough of that. Their staff got changed up but provide about the same service. I was in a group of 5 adults and 1 kid and 1 baby. They seems to be able to keep their food quality the same since the last time I visited. My husband and I love ordering their galbi combo, simply because he loves to eat Korean cold noodle as well. Not many places serves cold noodle all year round like here. Definitely looking forward to returning back for another yummy flavorful meal.
