Traditional Korean dishes & drinks in a contemporary space
























"The half-moon-shaped mandoo dumplings at Seorabol Center City are deep-fried, packed with spicy kimchi and beef, and come with a sweet-salty-gently-spicy house dipping broth. In our experience, we usually put in a second order before even finishing the first." - candis mclean

"With two locations, one in Olney and one in Center City, Seorabol is a standout for Korean fare. Its lengthy menu has long lists of jjigae (stew) and soups, do-it-yourself barbecue, japchae and other noodle dishes, seafood pancakes, and sushi. It’s a great place to bring friends and cover the table with a bit of everything." - George Banks-Weston

"The Center City outpost of chef Chris Cho’s Northeast family restaurant Seorabol is a great choice to satisfy cravings for delicious Korean food, like dolsot bibimbap, jjigae soups, kimchi pancakes, and rice cakes. Reservations can be made online." - Dayna Evans

"At Seorabol Center City I can enjoy tteokguk on the menu year-round, a traditional rice-cake soup tied to Lunar New Year rituals and symbolism." - Diana Lu

"Seorabol serves the Korean version of steamed egg custard — a delicate, savory custard often flavored with sesame oil and scallion — as a comforting side." - Diana Lu
