Feed Your Seoul: I Found the Best Korean Food Ever

Sesame oil, chili paste, and garlic, oh my! You deserve a night off from cooking and a local food adventure - one part culture, one part delicious. The right choice? A place that hits both of these marks - is Seoul Pub Sushi Chicken Beer. This hole-in-the-wall is near the heart of Koreatown, Ellicott City, MD. They offer generous portions, an expansive menu, and the kindest and most caring owners you’ll meet. Bring your appetite! Items like the Korean-style fried chicken, their premier dish, will fill you up and yet leave you craving for more.

Trying new and different foods has always been your thing. You're in luck because their menu has a wide range of pan-Asian options. There are traditional Korean dishes like bulgogi that many are familiar with. There are also well-known favorites like budae jjigae (army stew), banchan, and even sushi. Feeling nostalgic for home cooking? Want to feel like your grandmother is in the kitchen? Order the budae jjigae. This comforting Korean hot pot cuts through the winter cold. Be warned that it is both a high-calorie meal and insanely addictive. This is a meal for sharing but still plan for an extra workout or two afterward. Banchan, banchan, banchan. These tasty side dishes are the ideal accompaniment to any main course. There is a seemingly endless supply of them too. Their sushi, hoe in Korean, has generous portions. You’ll love the jang uh gu wi (broiled eel with special sauce). Although you may wish you could, you can’t eat everything. Be warned that if someone else at the table gets the eel, you won’t get a taste unless you move fast. It will seem to vanish. Still can’t decide? The owner will offer helpful suggestions. Your inner adventure-loving eater will be so excited!

Healthy food is a priority for you. Well, Korean food is one of the healthiest cuisines on the planet. The emphasis is on vegetables, seafood, and meats cooked with hardly any oil. Kimchi is included in or alongside many dishes. Those mouth-watering fermented vegetables pack a probiotic punch. Talk about a happy gut! Kkakdugi- radish kimchi- will drive your taste buds wild. It’s crunchy with a slight radish taste that is sweet as well as tangy, spicy, and umami. Soon you’ll likely be obsessing over it.

Ellicott City has roughly 12,000 Korean-Americans and 170 Korean businesses. It’s no wonder why this restaurant stands out among the many… and is fast becoming a local favorite! Others are talking about it too. Gavin C said on Yelp, ”it cannot get better than this Mom & Pop restaurant when it comes to Korean food in Maryland and Virginia. Excellent bang for your buck! ... I’m definitely coming back again! Also, the service was fantastic!” I couldn't agree more, Seoul Pub is the best bang! You’ll be able to talk at length about food with the owners too. “This charming couple was beyond friendly and attentive, and their company by itself is worth the trip,” said Nadav P. via Yelp.

This place will not lighten your wallet either. A meal at many Korean restaurants in the area can run you over $100. Seoul Pub’s prices? They are on point. The budae jjigae, which feeds 3 to 4 people, costs $26. If you are not that hungry or want your own dish, you can still fill your belly for under $15 with one of their many options.

Korean home-cooked meals are served in a modest and relaxed environment. Friendly hospitality. Competitive prices. Great food. Place your order tonight at Seoul Pub; you’ll be glad you did.
