Seoul Street

I think 4 stars is apt for this establishment. Delicious chicken no doubt, that batter is incredible. Definitely go for the soy garlic or spicy both are tasty. The kimchi on the fries was delicious as well. Now for the cons. The chicken isn't mind blowing but the flavors are great, that spicy chicken is great but feels tamed down, could be the gochujang they use. The kimchi too had that great fermenty flavor but no spice or perhaps it's drowned by the cheese and other ingredients. Overall, I'd probably go again and I enjoyed my first experience there. 4 stars!

Until today, I had nothing bad to say about this place. Sure, the manager is a little "all business, no smile" at times, but the food is pretty good! Well, after today I am never again patronizing Seoul Street. I placed my order over the phone and was told to wait the usual 45 minutes before coming in to pick up the wings. This is standard procedure, so I wasn't surprised. Well, upon arriving I was confronted by the manager and he let me know that he had "not started" my wings because apparently I had forgotten to pick up my small, personal order of 4 thighs (approximately $12) a week ago. FOOTNOTE: Immediately upon hearing this I remembered that I had, indeed, ordered and forgotten BUT I never received a phone call letting me know that my wings were done either! Had I received a call, I would have immediately come to pick up my product. Well, after kindly letting the manager know that I had not received a call and also reminding him that I am a repeat customer, he looked at me and reiterated that he had not begun cooking the wings that I had already waited nearly an hour for. While this ONE STRIKE POLICY would've surely infuriated anyone else, I calmly explained the logical fallacy behind his poor business method/punishment and left the establishment. Apparently Seoul Street is doing well enough financially to both burn bridges with loyal, repeat customers (without giving them a chance to make up for their small mistakes) and give unfriendly, unsmiling service. Now that I look at it, I'm surprised this place has made it so long in the friendly city of Ann Arbor. Oh well, my body will probably thank me for ceasing the ingestion of their no- doubt MSG-laden chicken product. Thanks for that, Seoul Street.

Seoul street is a small, no-frills spot that offers some “traditional” Korean food like kimchi fried rice as well as more fusion dishes like kimchi fries. Pros: the food is fantastic, the prices are affordable, and it’s in a great location for people living on north campus Cons: the elephant in the room— the person who I believe is the owner is rude. He’s not friendly and he doesn’t seem to really care about the customer. HOWEVER, The interaction you have with him is very short, and the food is just so delicious that I don’t mind a minimal, unpleasant interaction. He’s not even usually the person at the register oftentimes. My recs: Korean fried chicken (soy garlic and spicy are both good, spicy is very spicy!) and the kimchi fries (I’ve had kimchi fries in various places across the country and none have compared to the kimchi fries here) Pro tip: order way way ahead and order online for pick u. They’re not the most responsive over the phone.

Some of the best Korean fried chicken I've ever had and I've had had it in various K-towns across the country. The chicken is juicy and the batter is shatteringly crispy and well-seasoned. I would opt for soy garlic or spicy (do NOT get the plain unless you plan to sauce/season it yourself). The wait times are long as these are cooked from scratch so be aware (wings are probably 20-30 min while breast, thighs or drumsticks are closer to 40 min waits). Definitely better as a takeout spot.

Bad bad service. I could copy and paste a one star review I see now from 10 months ago. The door is still broke and the owner/cook is still ultra angsty. We tried to open the door (super tough and broke) and he literally screamed “PULL” at us. They do not pick up the phone at all. The food was not nearly good enough to outweigh the dirty kitchen and angry staff.

The best fried chicken I've ever had, both sauces are great but the hot is a must, the dumplings are great too. There's a wait on the chicken from 15-30 minutes but it's made to order and more than well worth the wait. The prices are great for the quality of what you're getting. Will definitely be going back

An interesting twist on normal fried chicken. Ordered the medium combo with wings and chicken legs in half and half sauce, and the corn salad side. The chicken was hot, and super crispy!! The pieces were coated in just the right amount of sauce and not dredged in it. Though I felt the hot sauce was a little more spicy than I could handle. The side wasn't a salad at all, just sweet corn from a can packed in a disposable. Nonetheless it went with the chicken well. 2 stars less because despite the food being great, there is definitely room for improvement. 1. The wait was too long. If the server had informed us before we placed our order we might have reconsidered. 2. There is limited seating and the restaurant needs to improve on the cleanliness to encourage more patrons to dine in.
