Korean Mexican Restaurant Nuevo Seoul Is Opening in Downtown Detroit | Eater Detroit

"Set to open next month at 607 Shelby, I'm told this fast-casual spot will serve Korean-Mexican fare including tacos and burritos filled with bulgogi beef or chicken, birria made with Korean beef short rib, kimchi fries loaded with al pastor tofu, and Korean fried chicken and wings; drinks will include cocktails spiked with aguas frescas and “Mexican-inspired spiked slushies.” The space next to Hanah Steakhouse seats 125 diners and a rendering shows an enclosed outdoor patio. I also note that Korean-Mexican food traces its origins to at least the 1990s in Los Angeles, placing this concept within that broader tradition." - Serena Maria Daniels

My son called this a gentrification final boss restaurant. He isn't wrong. Casual, hip, and OK food. But some of the flavor profiles were a little one dimensional--good, but not great. Also, my ramen came in a flimsy plastic takeout container. Maybe that was part of the gentrified chic? I would have preferred some hand made locally sourced pottery. Again, worth eating at if you are in the area and want to get a quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Service was fast and friendly.

Great food in a great atmosphere. Could've done without the plastic silverware, that kinda sucked but the food made up for it. I got the grilled cheese, chicken nachos and 10 piece korean chicken wings. Good food for an affordable price downtown. Definitely will be coming back here again.

Amazing service and delicious unique food! My boyfriend and I enjoyed it here and will definitely be back soon. As a vegetarian this is now one of my new favorite restaurants! The staff was very kind & helpful. The food came out so quick as well. 100/10!!!

Pretty decent spot. The Korean/Mexican combo is interesting and what drew me there in the first place. A lot of vegetarian options which is nice. My parents liked the food, but weren’t a fan of the disposable containers and cutlery they came in. Was interesting to check out.

Yummmm! Great for vegans and meat eaters alike. I got the Al Pastor tofu burrito bowl with grilled tofu. And my father split the birria grilled cheese with his partner. Service was fast and so friendly. Not too crowd and had fun music playing over the speakers. Highly recommend! And don’t miss the churro chips!

Kimchi Fries were good. Flavor and spice profile was decent. However, my burrito was mediocre. Everything was so expensive for how subpar the quality and size was. I expected better for an $15 burrito. And the mandatory 20% gratuity was something I wasn’t expecting. I wouldn’t come here again.

Great atmosphere. The restaurant is very clean and well organized. Staff is very friendly and well knowledge of their foods and gave us a recommendation based on our preference. Fried kimuchi was our favorite. I had a burrito and it was great too. Pricing is very reasonable. I would definitely back there again and try different food.

@nuevoseouldetroit @feastyoureyesdetroit knocked it out of the park again for their dinner and a movie series featuring Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs . The decorations for all three movies we have attended have been super cute and imaginative while sticking with the theme of the film. It's been so fun to see what they come up with for the menu and the drinks are always on point! The staff is super friendly and accommodating and always add a little element of surprise. We left with our bellies full and smiles on our faces. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend.
