Hola Seoul

The first thing I tried from Hola Seoul was the Spicy Pork Cup Bap. I had no clue what I was in for but when I dug in, I was so surprised to see how much variety there was in 1 portion of food. The sauce on top was really tasty and didn't overwhelm the flavors of the other food. However the flavor of the spicy pork itself is way too overpowering. Halfway through the cup I felt like I couldn't eat anymore because all you can taste in your mouth is the extremely sweet pork. The lettuce was really crispy and the fries were by far the best addition. There was also rice and glass noodle. But again I feel like any other protein that is not that sweet would balance the cup bap perfectly.

The Korean fried chicken sandwich was delicious!! It was crispy and saucy and very enjoyable. Duk-bok-ki was definitely on the spicy side. Even dine-in orders are served in takeout boxes, very casual and street-food kind of vibes.

I asked for the vegetarian option, and I didn't like it that much. It's missing some protein and is pretty hard to eat. On the positive side, the taste is not bad.

KIMCHI FRIES ARE A MUST!!!!!! Love the fries so crispy and so much flavor, although don’t expect copious amounts of sausage on there. I literally get them every week. Korean fried chicken is really good too I would say always get boneless because you get more meat and there’s too much breading on the bone in.

My kid and I had a fun time at Hola Seoul! We got Korean hotdogs. My kid got the potato one and I got the cheese one. They were super tasty. I also got a red bun. I hadn't tried a red bun before, but it was good too! PS, be patient about parking when you get there, as it may take a minute!

Went there yesterday and came a bit before opening. The workers were nice about it and told me to come back in a few. Came back ordered the popcorn chicken and seasoned fries. The amount of food I got was INSANE. I think that what I got was a catch for under 20 dollars. Food was served hot and right, the tables were nice even though the actual restaurant is small. The food was also AMAZING. I'd never had radish before and I didn't know that it came with my chicken but I tried it. Unsurprisingly, it was the BOMB because this spot doesn't disappoint. The "spicier" option wasn't spicy at all (which I prefer because spicy food and carbonated drinks don't mix well in my opinion) and the fries were perfectly heated. When I tell you there was A LOT of food, I mean that I ate Hola Seoul for lunch, dinner, and lunch the next day. No shame to anyone who can eat all of this in 1 serving though. But all of this is to say that if you're a struggling student (or not in this economy) and don't want to cook, but also don't want to spend a bunch of money for good eats, THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Be careful with who you give this info to though, because I don't wanna have this place crazy packed when I come for a bite or worse crazy expensive. They got my order in pretty quick as well and all the food smells divine. If you're on the fence about going here, hop off, and runnnn to this place. No, I'm not getting paid this spot is just really great y'all .

Had the Korean Fried chicken, which was totally amazing AND a great value. We also tried the Korean corn dogs… I WAS NOT EXPECTING CHEESE!!! They were probably the best corn dogs I’ve ever had. Light and crunchy, cheesy and delicious. I had one complaint and that was there was only 2 ketchup packets for the meal… and I’m not convinced that ketchup was even the right condiment. Would have LOVED a dipping sauce for the chicken and something more suiting for the corn dog.

I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was based on the price. The food was delish and the price was super reasonable (I got the chicken bibimbap). The popcorn chicken was also crunchy and flavorful. Definitely recommend!!
