“Incredible food with friendly staff and an excellent atmosphere”
Came here at 330 am on a Saturday sober as a judge after a long late flight The place closes at 4 The guy behind the counter takes the order doesn’t say anything until giving us our food when we ask for the cutlery he says we are closed you have to eat out I’m exhausted and not interested in eating cold food when I reach home finally so opted to sit and eat with my hands The guy is behind the counter throwing pans cursing us out to his co workers We finished our meal and left at 345 fifteen minutes before the stated close time The guy working here probably deals with drunk people all night but needs to understand not everyone is the same just drunkard you can abuse.
To be honest, the food was too salty… i ordered spicy pork taco and bulgogi taco. I don’t recommend this.
This is some of the worst fusion tacos I’ve had.

“Pork tacos were 🔥 Flavor profile on point and that sauce did what it needed to do.”
Pork tacos were 🔥 Flavor profile on point and that sauce did what it needed to do. Cute vibe, fast service, and definitely a repeat every time I’m in Chicago. Staff takes a minute to warm up, but once they do, the experience gets better. Worth it.

“Seoul Taco is great.”
Seoul Taco is great. I had the 3 taco meal and got one steak, one pork, and one chicken taco. They were delicious. The atmosphere is laid back, the staff is friendly, and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

“I visited Seoul Taco on a quiet night.”
I visited Seoul Taco on a quiet night. The service was efficient and fast. The restaurant has a simple concept that absolutely works. The quesadilla I ordered was very tasty and spicy! Loved it! The tofu burrito my husband ordered was almost too spicy for him but he finished it anyway! That says a lot!

“This place is great.”
This place is great! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was really nice. They were really nice to my children. One of my kids did not like the tacos they ordered. They made them a chicken quesadilla on the house we expected to pay for it and they gave it to her for free. Totally unexpected! Highly recommend this place.

“Stopped by for lunch on our visit from nyc and I’m SOO glad we did.”
Stopped by for lunch on our visit from nyc and I’m SOO glad we did. Korean food is our favorite and they perfected the Korean/mexican fusion. The Golgi bowl hits the spot and the Seoul tacos were flavorful with the spicy pork. They were even better paired with the elote. Overall great taste and portions. 10/10 would come back to Chicago for this!

“One of the best Korean bbq taco and gogi bowl spots ever.”
One of the best Korean bbq taco and gogi bowl spots ever. Their brand reputation is impressive and the attentiveness is unmatched. I wish they had more locations in the south suburbs and NW Indiana, there is a market there if they ever want to expand further south. I recommend this and the Hyde park location to everyone I know

“Seoul Taco has been my go-to Korean taco spot for years.”
Seoul Taco has been my go-to Korean taco spot for years. Each bite of their chicken tacos is bursting with flavor, and the kimchi rice is absolutely mouthwatering. It's got the perfect kick to it if you're into spicy. I highly recommend Seoul Taco for both lunch and late-night snacks!

“I had the bulgogi steak burrito.”
I had the bulgogi steak burrito. This thing was a very nice size. After the first bite I felt I was transported to food heaving. The balance of all the ingredients and the tenderness of the steak OMG!! I wanted to tear up when I was at my last bite 🥹 definitely give this place a try!!!

“Indescribably one of the best cultural combos I’ve found in all my travels.”
Indescribably one of the best cultural combos I’ve found in all my travels! It hits so hard! We got the bulgogi tacos w/ sweet potato fries and a side of kimchi. The kimchi on the tacos *chefs kiss* 👩🏾🍳 The sauce they have with the fries is criminal ! Topped it with the churros 😌

“During our visit here we were trying to hit as much spots in this location.”
During our visit here we were trying to hit as much spots in this location. We happened to walk by this place and thought to try at least one taco! We certainly would have ordered more if we weren’t doing a food hop but certainly glad this place came across us. Service was friendly as we ordered two tacos, the bulgogi steak and spicy pork! Both were amazing and flavorful! I’ll certainly come back to try the other items :)

“Incredible food with friendly staff and an excellent atmosphere.”
Incredible food with friendly staff and an excellent atmosphere. The smells alone in this restaurant are mesmerizing. As soon as you walk in, you were hit with the smell of delicious Korean spices. You immediately see a cozy interior with plenty of seating, and even a few couches. Food is really high-quality, and the quantity for the price is perfect. We got a ton of food ranging from chicken tacos to spicy pork tacos to Bulgogi elote quesadillas. We also got several sides such as their sweet potato fries, kimchi fried rice, and kimchi slaw. We even got some green grape Soju. I would say the only letdown dish for this sweet potato fries. Nothing fancy, and it’s the Seoul sauce that really makes that dish good. Everything else was absolutely incredible. Perfectly balanced, suite and spicy tacos filled with the umami from the fried rice. Here’s a food, hack I really enjoyed. Eat the kimchi slaw and the kimchi fried rice together. Overall, incredible spot with absolutely delicious food! I will definitely come back here several times in the near future.
