Tasty and filling, gluten free Korean fast food. Umm- sounds perfect to me. The location in Tenleytown seems more vibrant and alive than in NoMa, and the taller ceilings make it feel more exciting and modern. I love the seating choices of tall bar stool height options by the window and traditional height seating at tables in the rest of the place.
If you haven't been to SeoulSpice, it can be a bit confusing or overwhelming. It's like any fast casual place- decide if you want a bowl of rice or salad, or here, you can also go with 3 tacos or a seaweed wrapped size package of deliciousness. Choose a pre-made mix or pick your protein and be on your merry way. It's very satisfying, fresh and price savvy. It's also fast, perfect for busy people who don't want to sacrifice quality or flavor. The tacos and korredo can be messy, so you should anticipate utensils or picking up the filling that falls out of the tacos and korredos while you eat with your fingers.
I don't have a favorite choice, but tacos are always a winner. They have purple rice and regular white rice. There's traditional protein choices and non-gmo local tofu that is quite fresh. The toppings except avocado are pretty much all you can add- corn, radish, cucumbers, kimchi, carrots, cilantro, scallions, roasted garlic, toasted sesame seeds, kale slaw (so much better than just lettuce!), and a dressing/ sauce of your choice. The carrot ginger is so good!
They also have baked goods from Rise, some beverages, including house made juice (green!). All the veggies are all vegan, which is helpful for those who are worried about what might be in the ingredients.
Love this addition to Tenleytown- it's easily my fav fast casual place in the area, if not in all of DC... so, yeah, I might be there again really soon....
