We ordered their limited time yellowtail platter, grilled tteokgalbi, rose tteokbokki with gimmari, Seoul salon pasta, and jokbal platter. The yellowtail platter came with a seasonal porridge, cuttlefish, whelk salad, sauces, aged kimchi, and gim. While it’s recommended for 2, it easily fed the three of us. Their rose tteokbokki was really flavorful but we enjoyed it even more after it had cooled down and the flavors seeped in more. Their seoul salon pasta was the perfect amount of umami and one of our favorite bites of the night! The jokbal platter was MASSIVE. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Needless to say, this is the place to go for good food and drinks with friends! We will be back!

The soy scallop with gim rice was fresh, light, and scallops were sweet and creamy in texture. The rose tteokbokki was very creamy and almost felt like a fusion between Italian flavors and Korean textures. The basil was herby, flavorful, and stracciatella cheese slightly acidic, creamy, and infused the dish with a lightness and break in richness of the rose sauce. The tteok texture was soft, but still al dente to create a great bite. Lastly the spicy octopus with risotto was another blend of Italian & Korean flair, introducing soft, creamy Arborio rice with the crunchy, spicy, and flavor-packed octopus.
Seoul salon’s menu is unique and curated to be filled with robust flavor & great textures.
My only callout is the space is narrow so it can be difficult to have a conversation as it feels like tables are cramped/on top of each other.
The vibe itself was nice, dim but not too loud, even with the edm/club music playing. The tables can feel a bit cramped, but it wasn’t overbearing and we could talk even with all the background noise.
The food was phenomenal, well priced and well portioned for sharing. We got the octopus kimbap, soy scallop with gim rice, and the raw marinated crab noodles.
The Banchan was a ramen snack with ketchup, a good palate cleanser and tasty.
The octopus kimbap was good, we didn’t think it was outstanding but it did taste good. The octopus was a bit uneven in the dish though, as some of our pieces had no octopus while others had a lot.
The raw marinated crabs were a highlight, with a large portion of noodles accompanying it. As per their instruction, we mixed the raw crab meat into the noodles, which elevated the already tasty crab and noodles to make a spicy yet delicious noodle dish. The spice was a little on the spicier side, but nothing too spicy.
A highlight was the soy scallop with gim rice. It had a great taste to it, a great portion of scallop, and each part of the dish worked perfectly together.
The price is also really good for all the food we got, probably one of the highest quality meals we’ve gotten at the price we paid.
Other dishes at this place also very good, potato chips, mala pork sliders, and the special Myung Jak fruit wine, we were happy with everything we ordered.
Run and make the reservation now before the seasonal special dish gone.
Food 4/5
Service 4.5/5
Ambiance 4.5/5
The Highlights:
Scallops (4.25/5): This dish was great. The tender scallops worked really well with the seasoned rice, and the addition of the runny egg yolk tied everything together perfectly.
Beef Tartare (4.25/5): Very refreshing and clean tasting. I especially enjoyed the subtle gochujang kick that gave it a nice layer of heat without being overpowering.
Minor Misses:
Clams (3.75/5): These were the largest, juiciest clams I’ve ever had, and they were cooked just right. However, I found them to be too fishy for my taste
Rose Tteokbokki (3.75/5): While the flavor was good, it had a harder, chewier texture than expected. For texture preference, I still lean toward the softer chew but also not too soft I get at places like ‘Dduk Dabang’
