Kiss My Seoul

We had the kimchi smash burger - double patty. - soft bun - tender patties - grilled onion - melted cheese - kimchi to balance Great burger, the chef definitely know what he's doing. Kiss my fries were also awesome. The bulgogi in dish was amazingly flavorful. My only regrets were: - should have gotten another burger - should have gotten a bulgogi dish Will return, food is delicious.

Kiss my Seoul's Kimcheese smashburgers can gladly take my soul ! Truly a hidden gem. We ordered the kiss my fries , bulgogi cupbap, and two smashburgers. Such a delicious lunch and we had leftovers to bring home as well. Definitely recommend this place. Food and service is amazing. The owner , Alex, brought over some mandu for us to have and that was amazing as well. Excited to try their tacos next time.

TLDR: inconsistently cooked Galbi makes for a very mixed review The price for the food is a bit high for my liking but with inflation, it’s not completely unreasonable (almost $20 after tax for a galbi bowl). There were a few pieces of galbi but they were all cooked differently. The skinnier pieces were overcooked and black (refer to picture) while the fattier pieces were slightly undercooked and still pink inside. The decor is simple and clean. They also have some convenience stores stuff on the right with ice creams, Asian snacks and drinks.

We ordered KBBQ catering from Kiss My Seoul for our baby shower. Everything was absolutely delicious and our guests could not stop raving about the food. My husband picked up the order and said our car has never smelled better than when he was driving back with the food (even better than the smell of pizza)! We got large trays of food and I was so excited to eat everything that I forgot to take a photo of my plate. We ordered the mando vegetarian dumplings, japchae (vegan), rice, tofu (vegan), chicken, pork and bulgogi beef along with steamed mixed vegetables. They also threw in two free bottles of kimchi aioli and a spicy red sauce which was very appreciated and unexpected! I worked directly with the owner Alex on all the details for the catering order - he was super professional, very responsive to all my questions, and quick to update the invoice estimates. He also gave me some great advice about portion sizing, especially assuming everyone would go down the line and try all of the dishes. I personally LOVED the mando and the japchae and I was pleasantly surprised to see purple rice (instead of plain white rice)! I had never seen dumplings that circular shape before, very interesting to see how consistent they were in shape/size and they were a big hit with the kids. We actually ended up running out of tofu because it looked so good that non-vegetarians also wanted to eat it! My vegan friend said that the tofu was well seasoned and packed full of flavor. Overall, I was thrilled with the taste and quality of the food - we took a bit of a gamble ordering from Kiss My Seoul to feed our closest family and friends since we had never eaten at the restaurant before. Can't wait to go back and check out the kimcheese smashburger sometime!

Incredible food, incredible staff and ambiance/hospitality. Everything on the menu will make you say wow. The owner (Alex) has so much experience (see Tokyo, Beijing, PyeongChang Olympic games catering) it really bleeds out of him right into THE BEST bulgogi beef i’ve had in this city, bar none. You cannot come here once. It’s no coincidence there’s a mural on the wall connecting the two cities of Seoul and San Francisco here. Kiss My Seoul brings a charm and a heart to this city even 5600 miles couldn’t get between. 5/5

I really don't know what to make of what I'm eating. This is a very Americanized, loose interpretation of what I expected. Gentrified for short. I ordered Japchae and there were vegetables that looked like they came from the frozen foods aisle. Not to mention, whose Japchae has squash, broccoli, cauliflower and Round carrots all blended unexpectedly with Black rice in a bowl? I picked ALL of that out. I wanted to enjoy this, because it's convenient to my address. Is the cook Korean? Is this a Korean + American interpretation? Whatever the case, it's not what I expected from a place called "Kiss My Seoul" but it'll probably coast by if left to San Francisco yuppies whose palates couldn't tell a burger from kimchi. I want y'all to thrive without sacrificing the cultural substance behind the food you're making. Some changes need to be made.

Chicken was pretty dry. Rice was good. Agree with everyone on the Galbi. Not enough meat all bones!

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars. Kimcheese Smashburger: Patty has a decent texture, but may be too mushy for some people. Not very tasty and a bit plain - definitely did not feel like I was eating a Korean food item. Fries: Good texture, although a bit hard. Under-seasoned.
