    Friendly staff, tasty food, a couple of vegan options. They are attentive to allergy requirements and very helpful. I have booked tables for two and up to a group of twelve and it's always great.

    This is not a good Korean BBQ. It's very overpriced, the food is a bit lacking (not bad, but really not good value), and they make you cook over a paper instead of over the actual grill, which makes your meat boil instead of grill and caramelised. The two female waitresses were nice, but the two guys (one of whom I can only guess is the owner) were not pleasant and were always looking at us trying to inspect what we were doing.

    First time eating at the restaurant and we'll definitely be returning. Food was lovely and there was a great selection across the menu. We found ourselves sat next to a particularly energetic table which was a little annoying at first, but once that group had departed the restaurant was much more peaceful.

    You can only visit this restaurant to eat,but it was my birthday and it was not very fun,there are no sweet dishes. The girl standing in front was very unwelcoming. I wouldn't go here to eat again.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and dining experience. Staff were very friendly. Food was very authentic, 4 genres of food in one place so will be Back at least 3 more times to sample the DIY Korean BBQ on the impressive cooking setup built in to your table; their sushi offerings and the Hotpots. We went with sizzling kitchen prepared food which was tasty and generous in portion but Korean food is on the hotter end of the spice scale so ask the staff for options if that affects your palate. Felt like you were in Asia with decor & setting - Top night had 💜

    Special Birthday meal for a lovely family dining experience made a little more special by a surprise birthday cake…thank you! Unique dining experience in nice surroundings with attentive staff. A great choice selection from the menu, if anything this made choosing a little more difficult! We tried the BBQ sharing platters, the meats were nice but only supplied with one sauce which was quite spicy so lacked some additional sauce options to try for other delicate palates in our party. All in all though a good experience for a special occasion.

    Service is great but the food is just ok. The Korean menu is better that the Japanese, for sure. The sushi is unfortunately better at chains like itsu than it is here. The bibimbap was very tasty, although a bit more pork would have been welcome. The place tends to be quite noisy and the smoke from the Korean barbecue sticks with you. Been twice now but not sure if I will return.

    Delicious food, very friendly staff, reasonably priced and a fun experience barbecuing our own food at the table. The sushi was fantastic - would highly recommended the 'seoul roll'! I'll definitely be back - I was with friends but will return with my family.

    As a long-time visitor of Yorikobi (another great Japanese restaurant in Aberdeen), I had high hopes for Seoul. I'm pleased to say my first visit to Seoul was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the food especially the sizzling spicy pork. I would visit again.

    I saw the video and had to try cooking our own. We had the set meal for two at around £28.50 each. I was disappointed in the amount of food as we were still hungry afterwards, the beans/pods we got with it were tasteless and not marinated as the menu suggested. The food was tasty, the staff looked rushed but were helpful. I would try again but we would maybe just order from the kitchen to compare portion sizes. Overall we were glad we tried the new experience .
