Seoul Food Meat Co Mill District is a great venue in an up and coming area, but the food left something to be desired.
A friend who has been to their original location on South Church Street several times raved about the food there and so we decided to try this new location. We both left a bit disappointed, but still willing to come back in the future to see if there is improvement.
You order here cafeteria style, with some items being immediately available for consumption, and some which you will receive a pager for to pick up later. Despite the fact that the food we ordered was apparently made to order, when we received our food, at least one dish (the Kim Chi Fries with Beef) was cold. The fries weren't bad, but definitely being warm or hot would have made a huge difference.
The wings, something that seems like a signature dish here, were just okay and also weren't really hot. I don't know if there's some breakdown between when the food is prepared and when they're delivered for pickup, but it definitely affected the enjoyment of the food.
The ramen mac and cheese was creative but the pairing wasn't really for me.
Drinks seemed a bit pricey at first and are ordered at the bar area separately from your meal. Oddly, when we closed out our bar tab, there was nothing to sign and thus no opportunity to tip. I'm not sure if it was just auto-included, or if they don't take tips, or if it's just a "feature" that's going to be added later.
All in all, I'd like to give them another try because it does seem like a great place to watch sports and hang out, but there's definitely some kinks here to iron out.
