Road to Seoul in Alhambra

Overall, Road to Seoul is a good option for an after movie meal. There is a Gen BBQ a block away, so there is competition for themInterior is spacious with lots of tables and somewhat bright with a modern techno vibe.They have a base menu with standard items for $30.The deluxe is $36 and adds a dozen more items.I suppose what sets them apart is they have a self-serve salad bar with mixed green salad, korean potato salad, and some kimcheeService is ok. The waitress who initially took our order lost our order, so we sat around for 20 minutes waiting for our food. Others got seated and got their food right away. The manager walked by a few times but didnt say or so anything.But once the other servers got involved, the meat dishes came at a steady pace. The grill plate was changed often.I am not sure if they made a mistake or if they want customers to fill up on less expensive items, but the Bulgogi dishes were huge. Items such as short rib and pork belly came in much smaller portions. note this.You cant beat the hours. They are open from 11am to 2am. A parking garage is behind the restaurant with 4 hours of free parking.

First time here the food was great the service was great. Very accommodating for people who dine there solo like I was. Service was phenomenal, my grill was changed very frequently. Will definitely go back when I come back for work.

Been to this place several times. Always great service and food! They have a few different tiers and happy hour depending on the day. The robots delivering the meat is a nice touch. They have the banchan buffet style. So you can go up and grab it anytime without having to wait! I like that. Never too busy and always great service! Staff is friendly and is pretty good on checking in with you throughout your dining experience.

Service was decent, the wait staff looked quite grumpy. I get that it was Thanksgiving day, the look on their faces was evident. Dennis and Lulu need to smile and have a better outlook. If you dread work, time will go by slower. If youre happy about what you are doing, time will actually fly by. My boys and I had a great time, food was good. I look forward to returning. I just hope the wait staff will be in a better mood.

A ROBOT BROUGHT US OUR MEAT!!All you can eat kimchi bar?! Yes please!We had the deluxe, everything was pretty good but seems a little pricey for $40 per person. The staff was cool and they have a new robot server that delivers meat to your table! The LA short rib was really good. Would definitely go back and probably will start choosing this place over Gen across the street.

The food is good, just bring someone who knows how to cook. The large room is very smokey. Definitely not enough servers. We had to ask for something three times before it was finally brought out. Very loud house music plays so for all the NDs out there, be prepared. I would not recommend this place.

Great food, great place for both large and small gatherings. It does get a little noisy so you might want to go elsewhere if youre looking for quiet conversations.

Food is ok. Mondays have only one person and he is busy. Restroom is not neat due to under staff issue, I think.It is a good place to visit with 4 people or more. So when you BBQ, you don’t keep the meat on the hot plate too long. You can always try freshly cooked meat that way. If only 2 people, it may take longer to consume the meat and it ends up being over cooked sometimes.Parking is easy, just across the street at Burlington’s parking lot.Due to the rising price of meat, they have changed to rule that each time you can only order 2 types of meat. I can understand even it feels a bit annoying.

Only one service man to handle all tables. Hard to get hold of him, have to ask casher or asking other people to have service. The octopus is very hard to bite in 2020,2021,2022, and now 2023. Steaming Tufo was not available. The workers are friendly, just not enough workers. Nice restaurant, it is clean.

Great BBQ. The meat quality was awesome and the little buffet for the banchan, it was great to go up and grab as much or as little. My favorites were the bone-in galbi and the pork jowl. Both were great once grilled to perfection. The service was good for them being understaffed. So please be patient with them!!
