Seoul K-B.B.Q.& HotPot

Had an amazing time here! The atmosphere is fun and lively, and the service is nice. The only downside was that the call button on our table wasn’t working, so we had to wave for staff. Also, some of the meats were a little too sweet for our taste. But overall, it was still a very enjoyable dining experience.

Easily the best, legit Korean bbq place around here. Two Korean women left very satisfied and incredibly full. We ordered two servings of marinated pork bbq, which rightly came with a full array of banchan (side dishes). They seem to make their own banchan, which gets extra points for the effort and unique varieties. The $20 doenjang-jjigae (fermented soybean-paste stew) is worth every penny and makes an excellent companion to the bbq. It’s actually comparable to the best doenjang-jjigae you can have in Seoul. The only thing missing is a charcoal grill that would add a smoky flavor to the meat, but it’s very rare to find a Korean bbq place that provides an individual charcoal grill at each table in the US, which is a shame because that’s the standard in South Korea. Their naengmyeon (cold noodles) is also decent and recommended. They make their own noodles, which means the noodles are fresh and have never been dried. This gives the noodles a more elastic, chewy texture. The spicy version might actually be better than the clear broth one we tried (because the broth is hard to make it really good), but we’re also naengmyeon snobs! If you’re new to Korean cold noodles, this is probably the best place to try it in the Denver metro area. Atmosphere is nice enough for a family dinner or a casual date night. Each booth is separated and neatly maintained. Service was attentive and fast. Our server, Enmi aka. Candy, was super nice and generous in her service and attention for us! Highly recommend all around.

What a lunch or does it also cover breakfast and dinner because I was stuffed. The combination and Korean side dishes were on point. Service was great! She was quite helpful with our choice. Make reservation as we were seated right away. We picked a quiet hour and was seated right away. Take a leap of faith here as you can’t go wrong unless you didn’t get enough food. Try anything and everything Step out of the box and you won’t regret it.

Ordered the premium combo and definitely enough to feed our party of 7. The cuts of meat were so tender and delicious. Kimchi soup and kimchi pancake were both super tasty. Service was a little slow but seemed to be doing their best with what looked like to be only a few people working. The exhaust fans were not working well at all so it became smokey really quickly.

We were blown away by the major improvements in both the food and service. We came for the cold noodles and kalbi, and were very satisfied. While the dishes were on the pricier side, the food quality, the amazing banchan spread and the excellent service made it well worth it.

Although the price is a little bit higher than other restaurants, the quality of dishes is superb plus 9-12 side dishes served!

Tried this place for the first time. We opted to try their entree and appetizer items. The squid stir fry was decent. I wish the sauce was a little more flavorful and spicy. The pork bulgogi was amazing. Super well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The kimchi pancake was a little disappointing. The sauce didn’t really fit too well with the pancake. The fried dumplings were great. It was stuffed with a lot of meat. But the sauce didn’t work too well too. Overall, great service and most of the food was great. I would definitely be coming back to try more options whenever I ever come back.

It was a good time with my family here! Kid friendly and I love how helpful and attentive the waiter was! My kids enjoyed it and the food was very good!! I love their bulgogi lunch special and it was delicious! I didn’t care for their fried rice- even my kids didn’t like it.

The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. For our first time, we were impressed. My Son even decided to change his graduation dinner from Ocean Prime to here. And we have been craving it since we left cannot wait to go back for more!

This was my first hot pot experience, and it did not disappoint. Customer service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The food was delicious. The all you can eat hot pot included premium cuts of meat and a robust seafood and salad bar. Everything I had was fresh and tasty. Enjoy!

Great food and service! We made reservations for kbbq for a party of 6 (and a toddler) and they gave us a private room. We ordered the combo C (5 meats), which was a great value and the perfect amount of food. I enjoyed the large variety of banchan included. The soup and salad were tasty. The veggie pancake was cooked perfectly. The meats were high quality. The bulgogi was on the sweet side, which half our party liked and half didn't. Highly recommend!

We always have a fantastic meal when we come! We usually have 4 people and get the 3 meat combo and that is way more than enough for everyone and then some to take home. I especially love coming with my favorite older Korean friends because they come ALL the time and the staff knows them and I feel like we get special extras for the table. Everything is fantastic, I really love the kimchi pancakes and all the banchan. The staff is always wonderful and accommodating and the restaurant is very clean. Definitely a great place for KBBQ

What an institution. Looking at reviews from 10+ years ago, I can't believe it's taken so long for me to make it to Seoul KBBQ in Aurora. Ordering food was a nightmare because I had to explain to the waitress (whose English was limited) that was only wanted a 3-person KBBQ setup, and the others in our party would order Bibimbamp. Once that confusion was cleared, I was blown away by the food. LOVED the brisket and other meats we got, as well as the impressive banchan variety. Kimchi pancake and Tteokbokki were amazing too. A little pricey, but I would order all of this again. Only thing is, I wish they had more soju flavors, but plain really brought me back to Korea.

I was recently visiting from Hawaii, we have a lot of great Korean restaurants in Honolulu, but I think this one is very good! I've been to Seoul, Korea several times and the banchans here taste just like in Korea. The meats are fresh and flavorful, and the salads that are included are delicious. The service is always friendly, and they are always busy. It's also a great place for large parties as there are separate private dining rooms.

I came for a light dinner. I am bit wary of hot pot meals. They are usually too large for one person. This restaurant has 2 sides, one primarily for B.B.Q. and the other for Hot Pot. I started with a large 500ml bottle of Kloud Korean beer for $10.50; It's a bit hoppy with only 5.5% alcohol. I got a classic seaweed salad for only $8. I love spicy food. So I got a skillet of Tteokbbokki, which is braised rice cake & fishcake in a spicy chili sauce. Spicy and filling. I was served by Youn Young C. She kept checking with me. You get metal chopsticks and a large spoon. No music, but there was a video screen showing various Korean dishes and desserts being prepared. They have 6 private dining rooms with glass dividers to double the available space. At 430pm on a Tuesday, 2 rooms were occupied. The menu has the usual Korean specialties + 4 premium B.B.Q. combos from $170-$260 for larger groups.

Seoul has Korean bbq and hot pot and I love both! We just went to the hot pot side this past Saturday and everything was so good! I got the tom yum broth and it was super flavorful and tangy. The meat quality is really good and they have so many vegetable options. It was the perfect spot to meet up with friends and grab a couple of drinks. The servers here are always so kind and attentive too! 10/10 would recommend.

Just came back from Korea a few months ago and have been missing the food so my friend brought me here! We arrived around 1:30 so we got the lunch special: your choice of 1 broth flavor and 2 meat choices at a time (per person). I went with the Spicy Miso base and 차돌박이 + 목살 for meat. The ingredients, sauces, sides, rice, and water are all self serve. The staff was super happy that I could speak Korean and we had a great conversation. The kimchi was delicious so I asked her if they make it themselves and she said they do!!! Overall a super fun experience and I'm excited to go back again and try the BBQ side!

This is the place to go when you are craving hot pot! Their selections are enormous. They have appetizers where you can help yourself to! The service is quick and the food is phenomenal! The place is clean as well!

This place is huge and very busy, so you know it is good. This is either or situation; BBQ or Hot Pot. Our party of four, we got there a little after 7p on Friday night and only had a 20-30 minute wait for BBQ. Think we got seated in about 20 mins. The food was amazing. We ordered two meats (regular and spicy bulgogi) and it was plenty for four adults. The spicy was good and a decent spice, but not too spicy, I preferred the regular bulgogi. The kimchi pancake appetizer was sooo good. Service was meh. Our friends had been there they knew the ropes. My only complaint, I wish our server would have explained all the sides and sauces as he was placing them on the table. Not sure if they do that, but would be nice. Can't wait to try the Hot Pot side!!!

Open modern Asian space. Choice of seating on either AYCE hotpot or the a la carte KBBQ side. We did the KBBQ. Attentive, friendly servers. There's a large bonchon option. Food was good. The proteins are pricey. I'd prefer the AYCE wagyu option at Chubby Cattle at this price point.

Excellent selection of meats and good service. Sides were very flavorful especially the green salad ( I don't know what it's called but was very refreshing). We got the pork belly and spicy beef bulgogi to grill on the table and the spicy bulgogi was our favorite. The meat quality is very rich and we really enjoyed our meal. We also got the fried rice which was perfect!

Service was great, ambiance was good, and food was delicious! Great spot for inexperienced foodies too!

What a stellar first Korean BBQ experience! My husband recently came back from a work trip to South Korea, and craved Korean BBQ. The BBQ menu is outlined either a la carte ($35-50 per meat) or as "combination" with tiers of 3, 4, or 5 meat selections ($165-215) with drinks and additional plates included. Both options come with 14 sides, salad, and dipping sauces. The wagyu came as a whole steak cut, cooked whole. It was not made clear if we or our server would be the one cooking the meat. It would be ideal to have this explained and, if we were to be cooking ourselves which it felt like, have the meat pre-cut to easily cook and eat as we go. We were sat upstairs and were the solo table for quite a good while. Maybe not the most lively. The first floor was packed and seemed geared toward larger groups, with even several private group rooms that seemed to have dedicated staff. Josh was our server and fully made up for the lack of life up there. This place certainly deserves much better than the 3.9 stars it currently holds.

This is my favorite Korean bbq place in Colorado. It's really good! I love the chummuluk meat and the kimchi pancake. They are really, really good. They also give you a lot of sides. It is a little expensive but it's worth it, the premium quality is there

My favorite KBBQ spot! The service is always a 10/10. The food also never disappoints. I've done KBBQ and also just ordered at the restaurant and both experiences were great. When in a big group, you get a separate room which is perfect.

tldr: Great service, meat quality really good, plethora of sides, definitely recommend. We came at around 12pm on a Saturday and got seated immediately for four people. Not too many other parties inside the restaurant. We ordered Combo B which is our choice of four meats, LA Galbi, Galbi, Bulgogi, Sam-gyup-sal (pork belly), as well as coming with the kimchi stew (kimchi jjigae), soju, and kimchi pancake. The amount of side dishes and side salad they give you is so much ad well, it's super super filling. We definitely could have made it with the Combo A of 3 meats but did finish all our meat. They also gave use rice paper, green onion salad, some things that I haven't seen at other KBBQ places. I think all the meats were good, the pork belly a little bland but we got the ssamjjang sauce on the side to add some flavor so overall, all nice and tender and great cuts with great flavor. The service was great, our waitress cooked our meats for us the first and second round and then eventually we just cooked on our own timing. They were very attentive and the grills were really nice that the burned charred parts came off really easily when you rub it with the onion for the next round of meats to cook.

Flavorful and delicious! They share a large parking lot with surrounding businesses but there were plenty of spaces. We made a reservation through Yelp and we had to put down a credit card just in case of cancellations. On the weekends it's all you can eat but the dinner price of $40 all day. We weren't aware of this but all agreed that $40 isn't the worst. You have to order the meat with them and then go up and get your own sauce, veggies, seafood, and noodles. They even offer wontons and fried dumplings and fried spring rolls. Our waiter was kind and checked on us a few times. If we needed something and couldn't find our waiter, there's a bell next to the wall we could ring to track them down. Over all it was really yummy but I wish the price was made more clearly for the weekend.

Best hot pot in the area. The beef is fresh and good quality. My favorites are ribeye and short ribs. They are served thinly sliced. Side dishes like gimbap and dumplings. Great service

I was so impressed by the variety of seafood, noodles, and vegetables. The best part is having the opportunity to choose as much as you like and not feel guilty about it. They have many different soup bases you can choose from. There is a sauce area where you can make dipping sauces and also change the flavor of your soup. Our waiter was very attentive and the service was great. I'd highly recommend this place. It is a bit more expensive than other hot pots I've been to but having the option to choose as much seafood as you'd like.

Food was very fresh , service was very polite and attentive, ambiance was layback This is a must whenever I am in town best hot pot I've had

This review is closer to 4.5 stars. The photo does not do justice with the quantity of banchan (side dishes) they brought out. I am from Philadelphia, and around where I am maybe if you are lucky you get about 6-8 banchans. Here, it was more like 15!! We also asked for refills at least twice. We ordered finger kalbi (without bones) and it was so tender and flavourful. The service was efficient and fast; everyone working there was very friendly. This place has Korean bbq on one side, and the other side (large space) they have hotpots. We asked the worker which one he preferred. Upon hearing that we are Koreans without skipping a beat he said definitely bbq And, I am so glad we chose bbq also! I am already salivating thinking about this place. Cannot wait to go back!

SIDES SIDES SIDES!! The side dishes here are my favorite. There is so much variety and not a single one of them tasted bad. The meat quality is probably the best I've had in Denver, coming from San Jose. It's a little pricey but the family meals are a great value. The restaurant itself is huge. It's two sections: hot pot and Korean bbq. I kind of wish they would combine both so that you can have both kbbq and hotpot. Staff is super friendly and will start the grill the meats for you but they aren't actively stopping by to cook your meat.

Oh. My. Stars. I just happened to be in Denver for work a few weeks back and had the opportunity to visit this spot. I've heard about the Korean hot pot experience (and general dining), but DAMN, this was impressive. The photos tell the tale, but needless to say everything was delicious. I'd heard of the whole free-side-dishes (banchan?) with Koreans meals, but to see the choices spread in front of you is just impressive. I don't know what to say other than go. It's a whole experience, and you'll be stuffed to the brim. Oh, and don't skip the soju! Yowza. What a kick. Easily one of the best meals I had in the Denver area!

Definitely a popular place with several alternative options nearby if you're not into the wait. Our wait was 1hr so we walked over to Coffee Story and got some tea while we waited. There was a big parking lot and I parked at the far end (popular place!). The food was excellent. I did not come for the hot pot nor the bbq. It was my birthday and I saw that they had hwe do bap. Yum! Omg I had never seen such a huge hwe do bap in my life! My friend and I ordered 2 entrees and the portions could have fed a whole family. We also got a steamed egg dish which was so comforting and delicious also! There's a missing star in my review because we did have a roach join us along the table wall divider thing. The staff came over and removed it. I didn't see any in the food but I also wasn't really looking that hard either.

This is my favorite K-BBQ restaurant in Colorado. The service is always on point. The food is delicious. I tend to choose the Bulgogi and the thin sliced pork. When I ask for extra fish cakes I always get a plentiful amount. I absolutely love this restaurant. It is conveniently located. the restaurant is warm and welcoming. It is always clean and the food comes quickly. My favorite part about this restaurant are the conversations I have had with friends and family over the years, 13 to be exact. The Kimchi is so delicious and I really like all of the other small plates. There really is nothing else about this restaurant I can say besides I have yet to try the Hot Pot side. One of these days until then I will continue to eat the BBQ.

This is my family's go-to for hotpot and kbbq. They have great prices, food is delicious, and the servers are really friendly.

They were exceptional at setting the reservation for my wife's birthday. My wife had chosen a different restaurant without telling me and it's her birthday.

When I came, I went on a saturday at 5:40 and the service was pretty slow. However, it was jam packed in the HotPot portion and the food definitely made up for it. For an all you can eat, the food is surprisingly amazing. The setting was SO hectic because there was just soo many people. I had a great experience eating.

Let me start by saying that it is really hard to go to any Korean BBQ and/or hot pot place in Colorado after spending the better part of the last 9 years in LA. Lets just say that I know I have to adjust my expectations. In LA you are spoiled by the sheer number and quality of restaurants that specialize in Korean food. Here in Colorado we are limited in number of options available but quality can still be found. We came at lunch and chose the hot pot option over bbg. They honestly have alot of options that you expect from a good hot pot restaurant. Plenty of fresh veggies, noodles, rice cakes, etc as well as sauce options. The meat options were as expected and really good! The staff was very friendly and won't hesitate to come back. Overall Seoul is about as good as we have found in Colorado for an AYCE option without busting the bank (even though prices in Colorado are much higher than in California) but that is to be expected.

Best kbbq and hotpot in denver! Quality meats and sides, totally worth the price even if it isn't all you can eat on the bbq side. Sure you can go to others that are unlimited but if you actually want quality come here. Their hot pot side is unlimited and has huge selections, making any hot pot hater a fan

I've only been to the hotpot side of this restaurant, but it's delicious every time. I love the spicy miso broth! Their sauce bar has a nice set up with many options and I like that you can get sides like kimchi and cucumbers. The options for veggies, seafood, etc is vast. It is on the pricier side compared to other hotpot places in the area, but the quality of meat you get is much nicer in my opinion. They recently added in free ice cream when you are done which is a nice touch! They have the service buttons on the table if you need anything more which is convenient. I will need to try to kbbq side at some point!

We came for the KBBQ and were disappointed to see they do not offer all you can eat. They do, however give you a ton of sides with your choices of meats. The prices were much higher than expected. We all agreed that the service was fantastic! They were great with children and extremely kind.

So good!! We split the KBBQ option with the four meats to choose from. I was nervous if it will be enough for four people to split, but it was! The portion of meats, sides, and soups was perfect for us! We left feeling full and happy. The meats were amazing and flavor was great

Food was amazing. We do hotpot when we can. We went with a friend who goes a lot. Glad she picked it. We'd come back for sure. Our server was very helpful and kind. It's a very chill environment.

This is our go to hot pot restaurant. Food is always delicious Korean bbq side is not as good and service for bbq the last two times was lacking. I wish they had a veggie bar available at the Bbq side Hot pot is the way to go at this location

I've been coming here for over 30 years. On our latest visit, Josh, server, did an excellent job taking care of us along with Young who did a great job helping out. Josh's natural friendliness and timeliness were the gold standard. Still likely the best Korean BBQ foodwise in Denver Metro.

This place is pretty massive! Take note that the AYCE hot pot is on one side and kbbq is on the other. KBBQ isn't all-you-can-eat (AYCE) but you can do combos (3 meats, sides and all that) or order piecemeal with the entrees. Even if you only get the entrees, you'll still get the side dishes or banchan. I love the plethora of side dishes!! They're generous with these so don't be shy to ask for more. It's nifty too that they have a call button on the side of your table. I just really wish that it was AYCE! Otherwise, I suggest ordering the samgyupsal which is thinly sliced pork (it does say thin on the menu but when it was served to us, it was pretty thick). And you can never go wrong on the bulgogi. Ambiance is pretty much what you would expect on a kbbq place- loud. But they also have private rooms for huge gatherings. Parking isn't bad- plenty of spots in the plaza.

Just called to make a reservation and the woman on the phone said no and hung up on me!!! Odd considering their website says they take reservations and their phone system has a reservation option. How sad. Won't be eating here!

Updated review: Since my last review, I've been several more times. I still think the food quality is high, especially compared to other Korean places in Denver. However, want to update my review for the following problems: 1) the hood fans don't work well. Everyone in my group started coughing badly since we sat down. We told the service that but they couldn't turn it up higher to effective remove the heavy smoke; 2) the service messed up our orders twice. The waitress heard me wrong, and wasn't willing to take it off and give me the right order. She was sorry and apologized and charged us the same for the wrong order.

I now understand why this place has such a great reputation! We came here in a cold day and everyone was delightful! The entire staff was welcoming and friendly. We sat in the bbq side. Our server was the absolute sweetest- I'm so sad we didn't catch her name! We were happy because it was nice to have the option of getting a couple order of the meats and sharing them rather than paying $20 for all you can eat for our kids. We got the bulgogi, pork belly and the Bibimbap. The amount of food and sides is great! Our server kept offering to refill our salad too. The meat comes with a big serving of rice- probably about a cup and a half. I think all of our eyes lit up when we tasted the food. My kids said it was the best lunch they've ever had. Our sweet server checked in and made sure we were all happy. The thin sliced pork belly was probably my favorite but it was close! Between four of us, we had plenty of food and brought home some rice, radish soup and bibimbap that was leftover. We're planning our next trip!

At this point this is our favorite Korean barbecue in Denver. Services always good and they've always been welcoming to our kids sometimes can run out of high seats, but that just means they are kid friendly. Normal ambience and what you would expect for a Korean BBQ. Is always good. We've never tried hot pot here. Pro tip: if you have a wait, speak to the check desk and order some Soju or even hot sake if you have to wait outside on a cold night.

When entering Seoul Korean BBQ. Got seated right away. Brought out the sides quick and the space between the table was very spacious. Love the decor.

Came here a third time Apparently you have to choose b/t hot pot vs kbbq because they have different rooms with different table set ups for them. i was hoping we could get both! We ordered the egg appetizer with green onions. It was OK. a bit flavorless in my opinion We got spicy bulgogi. It was also OK. It was a lot spicier than i expected which kind of took away from the flavor so i wasn't the biggest fan The thinly sliced pork belly was not great. Pretty flavorless. Did not like at all. Apparently the servers cook it for you in front of you. I thought we would be cooking ourselves. Lots of side dishes, big variety. but not a huge fan of any of them. all average. Overall just OK.

Went here for dinner based on Yelpers feedback. Ordered the combo A it's plenty for two adults. You can bring home any left overs to go. Great service!

I love Seoul Korean BBQ and Hot Pot. I went mainly for the hotpot but the BBQ is also sooo delicious! The sauce bar is great and the staff is very friendly. Plenty of seating indoors and a large parking lot so parking shouldn't be any trouble! This place is very popular so expect wait times. I will definitely be back - this is my new favorite bbq and hotpot place in Denver!

So I saw this on social media and they won best hot pot in Denver, so of course I had to try it. We were sat immediately and they don't take reservations for small parties so go early. Service was amazing. They always seem like they're in a rush but they're very patient with you if you have any questions. Press the service button if they don't get to you. Top ingredients we had: -Ribeye, lamb, pork belly, beef belly, and pretty much every meat they had because it was really good cuts. Though these were our favorites. -kalguksu noodles -mushroom(s), like shiitake, white, oyster, etc. -lotus root -napa cabbage kimchi -egg rolls -and they had my favorite, taro root *and don't forget the sauce bar, it's legit* The only thing missing for me was grated daikon, but tis okay! To be warned, the broth tasted like oily water. Super bland until the very end after you've really boiled down all of your ingredients. Unlimited and all inclusive, even self serve white rice! Totally a special occassion kinda place as it is on the higher price side and totally worth it for all the meats and veggies.

So this place was so freaking cool. I've never been to a Korean hot pot ever in my life. This was definitely a treat! We went for dinner it was 35.99 per person plus tax. You get to first choose your broth and there is over 6 broths I believe, some are spicy and some are not the next thing they will ask you is which meat selections you want and you can choose up to 3 meats at a time. I honestly couldn't tell you what we got because I don't know the names. Just know we tried them all and they were all freaking delicious. The next is all self serve and it's sections of more different meats and veggies and seafood and you make your own sauces and there is noodles. There is so many choices and different dishes you can make. The possibilities are literally endless. There is all kinds of drinks too. Sodas and beers. For another fee you can get a dessert. We didn't order any. Overall it was worth every bit of 35.99. We will definitely be back!
