Had some of the best wings in Charlotte NC at Seoul Food Meat Company. They have a really great outdoor space with a really fun bar- great service too. We had two flavors of their signature wings, soy garlic and BBQ- they were so crunchy and saucy- were perfectly cooked. We also had their take on mac & cheese, their Ramen Mac N cheese which uses Ramen noodles. The potato salad was also delicious and the kimchi fries were outrageous- Such great taste & crunchy.. So excited to go back!!

The wings, pimento cheese with shrimp chips, and pork belly are my favorite menu items. They’re a bit pricey compared to other places but the food is really good and it doesn’t take too long to come out. Extroverted environment good for hangouts and drinks with friends. They also have karaoke. Spacious with room in the restaurant and bar as well as the bar in the back.

We read reviews of this spot and had high expectations before our visit. We ended up with just bar food. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? You enter and line up to place our order at the bar with the bartender who was very friendly. You then seat yourself here. We ordered a selection of multiple items. There was a pickup table in the rear. We ordered fries (average), corn on the cob (too much Parmesan) wings (not bad), beef and pork egg rolls (beef tasted better than the pork), a potato on a stick (daughter enjoyed) a beer and mixed drink in a bag; and we were not impressed or blown away. We came and we tried it. Workers were friendly.

Entered and like that it was first come first serve in seating. So it was easy to find a spot to eat. Had to order food and drinks at the bar. Ordered the chicken Kimchi fries , Fried Fish Taco and chicken tacos. Bartender/waitress left of my drink when I ordered. Ordered the Date with Marks and bartender/waitress poured me half a glass. Told her I was not paying $12 for a two sip drink. Especially after I seen several FULL glass drinks being served. She confronted the "manager" about the drink and he goes on to say, "that's a shot in the drink so she poured correctly." I said "if that's the case you can keep that." You wasted that liquor on your dime not mine. Therefore, not sure if this place has good drinks. But the food was good. Food came out quick and was hot. Well seasoned and sauced. I would back for the food and hopefully better service on drinks.

(Un)popular opinion: This place puts all other BBQ places to shame. The crispy pork belly had a scrumptiously crunchy crust with moist and succulent insides. The wings were bursting with flavor and the sauce was perfectly on point. I don't think I've had better Korean Fried Chicken anywhere else, and I've had my fair share while living in California. The fire chicken was moist and slathered with delicious sauce and loaded with the cheesiest cheese I did ever (and I mean ever) seen. I think this was some of the best meat I've had anywhere. If I lived in Charlotte, I would have all my birthdays, dates, and anniversaries here.

BEST. WINGS. EVER. If you plan to order them, do yourself a favor and bring wetnaps if you dine in. Glad we did take out because it was a messy, delicious feast. Indulgence has never felt better.

TLDR: Creative food concept located in a great space for casual social gatherings and large groups. Come with the expectation of American style BBQ with a *hint* of Korean flavors. Vibe: 5/5. Located in the ever popular South End district of Charlotte, Seoul Food is perfectly nestled amongst several breweries and bars nearby. They offer both ample inside and outside seating for groups small and large. Taking a page from traditional BBQ joints, they utilize a order at the counter and pickup system instead of a traditional wait service. IMO this keeps things casual and makes dealing the check in large groups much easier. As a bonus, Seoul Food has several karaoke rooms available to rent which makes for the perfect addition to any group outing. Service: 5/5. Since Seoul uses counter service, our interactions with the staff were limited, however very pleasant when they happened. We came at 11:30am on a Saturday and we're seated immediately by the host. The counter server was very nice and attentive at getting our order placed and brought our drinks out in a timely manner. When we received the bill, we noticed that there was an error for a drink (wanted a virgin cocktail but we're charged for the alcoholic version). The staff was quick to make the bill revision and we were on our way. Food/Drink: 4/5. Everytime I visit Charlotte I make it a point to stop by Seoul food for a meal and it has never disappointed. The food menu has largely stayed the same over the years, offering diners a fun fusion take on American BBQ and Korean food. The meats are the main event, with offerings such as crispy pork belly, beef rib, pork spare ribs and pulled pork. The meats are mostly American style BBQ in how they are prepared (smoked). The beef rib was ginormous in size and smoked perfectly to a fall of the bone tenderness. The crispy pork belly was oozing with juices and had a hardened crispy shell of outside skin that reminded me of Filipino lechon. For the sides, this is where the American BBQ and Korean fusion becomes more apparent. They have offerings such as green tea cornbread, kimchi slaw, soy pickled deviled eggs, potato swirls, doenjang collard greens... list goes on. We found that each one we ordered was tasty in their own rights, but really lacked that full Korean food flavor punch that comes with some of the ingredients used. A very good example is the doenjang collard greens, which we could barely taste any of distintly salty, fermented taste of the soybean paste in the greens. As for drinks, Seoul Food offers a nice selection of Korean favorites such as flavored soju and makgeolli. They used to offer a nice cocktail program, using various Asian ingredients to ramp up traditional cocktails, however it seems post pandemic they are mostly unavailable due to not having the specialty ingredients (RIP Seoul Fashioned). Overall, I still enjoy Seoul food and it's tasty meats and fun atmosphere. Even though the Korean aspect is sometimes lost in the food, it still provides a memorable experience everytime I visit.

I've never had a fusion of Korean BBQ and American BBQ before trying this place, and it did not disappoint. We got a small rib with lots of sides and we left stuffed and with leftovers for the next day. The sides are unique, fun, and filling.

Meat here is most similar to US BBQ with a slight Korean twist. Beef ribs were amazing and the wings were very crunchy and tasty. Get these 2 items for sure.

This was the most confusing restaurant I’ve ever been to. It’s a seat-yourself, order at the bar place. The front counter says to find a seat and then you can order online to pick up food from the pick up area (but then it will be in to go boxes). You have to talk to the bartender if you want to order food or drinks, then you get a buzzer when it’s ready to grab. The menu is extremely nondescript, just a list of the items with no idea what they are - and the prices were all completely wrong. Some things were listed for a little above what they actually were and some were listed for a little under what they came out to be. They do give wet naps and food gloves which was nice, but the food didn’t really have much excitement. I would recommend the owner redesign a lot of how the restaurant functions.

The food was delicious and the staff was great. I had the spicy BBQ chicken wings, Philly egg rolls and the chicken tacos. All delicious

We love this place. If we're ever down this way (about 30 miles from home) we always go out of our way to make a stop. Parking has however gotten worse but the food is just a awesome as ever. I highly recommend it. The wings and tofu are staples, the tacos are heaping with flavor, and be sure to get the baked Ramen Mac & Cheese.

Nice setup and atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff, in front and patio area. Validating the parking was nice. Now for the food. The philly egg rolls were not fully cooked and was nothing but meat and cheese. Why mustard sauce accompaniment? Wings were gigantic! Soy garlic was mostly soy flavored, maybe add some minced garlic. The crunch was on point though. The sweet and mild was HEAVY on the siracha. YUCK! Siracha and sweet was a no buena for me. The best thing we ordered was the brisket bulgogi taco. It was borderline salty but compared to the other food, we dealt with it. Overall, the experience was subpar and I wound up at Captain D’s for a piece of fish because I was still hungry after that $40 disappointment. I don’t think I will be back but I appreciate the effort. I wish you some improvement and success.

Just had our annual holiday work party and was severely disappointed by the customer service provided. The food was good. The wait staff was helpful. We rented a private room, my company spent hundreds of dollars only to come out to two of our cars being towed by the restaurant’s hired tow company. I’d be more understanding if it wasn’t a Monday night. I would have been more understanding except where one car was parked-there was no signage for required paid parking. I would have been more understanding if one car, that did pay, hadn’t been expired by FOUR minutes. The expiration time was 9:25, the car was towed at 9:29. Why are we paying hundreds of dollars at a restaurant that allows for this to happen. I completely understand towing on a weekend or even Thursday and Friday. That area is notorious for people parking and walking other bars and events, but on a Monday….they’re going to allow this to happen at their establishment. Honestly even if our cars hadn’t been towed, it’s not good enough to have gone back.

Our recent visit to this establishment marked our first return since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We noted that the service model has shifted to a more self-sufficient approach, with customers placing orders at the counter and refilling their own beverages. Staff members are responsible for delivering food to the table. The cuisine remains exceptional, with standout dishes including the crispy pork belly and beef ribs. Other menu items may appeal to more adventurous palates. Parking can be challenging, and it may be necessary to seek street parking further from the restaurant. Despite this minor inconvenience, we will certainly return for the outstanding food.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant, a lot of seating indoor and out. Service was good for the cafeteria style arrangement, drinks were tasty not much alcohol but delicious. The menu has a variety of options, however I found everything I tried to be missing something in flavor. Also, karaoke rooms are fun.

We sat in back bar for quick service. Food came out fast. Ribs were decent, pork belly was delicious, don’t order the potato salad.

Seoul Food definitely lives up to the hype! I’m obsessed with the pimento corn cheese. I’m not even a huge fan of pimento cheese but this stuff is amazing! My second favorite dish is the wings. So crunchy but with a ton of flavor. The meats are delicious as well! One of my favorite places in Charlotte!

Seoul Food Meat Company offers a delicious slate of Korean bbq and fried chicken dishes. The person serving me suggested I try the wings, which were well cooked and tasty. I had a half and half and enjoyed both flavors. The interior is cool as well -- gives off a bodega/brewery vibe and the beers and food both get served fast!

Today was our first trip here, but definitely not our last!! Upon arrival we were greeted by Mike the manager, we decided to eat outside so he directed us to the outside seating. Once there we went to the bar and started asking questions. Thankfully they have an amazing bartender, Brandon who is very friendly and knowledgeable of the food and drink menus. It's all alacarte, so you order each thing individually, which I like. We went with Brandon's recommendation on the food and the peach soju, I've never tried this drink before but let me tell you it's delicious. It's like biting a fresh peach straight off the tree. For the meal we decided on the fire chicken,which is a boneless thigh with a spicy sauce and cheese baked on top! Soy/garlic and spicy bbq hot wings, 5 of each. Both were delicious, I liked the spicy bbq a little better but I would order both again. Reuben egg rolls, 2 come in the order which is perfect for sharing. Ramen mac and cheese, they use ramen noodles instead of traditional noodles. I told Mike(manager) that it was some of the best food I've had in Charlotte in a long time, I could tell that the chefs took pride in fixing the dishes. He and Brandon told me that we picked the perfect combination from the menu! The restaurant was clean and inviting, restrooms were very clean and well stocked, all staff that I encountered were friendly, and seemed to enjoy working there. If you have read this far and decide to give them a try, please ask for Brandon and go with his recommendations, he won't steer you wrong!!

The food was delicious and the servings were great! My significant other and I shared a few different options and it was very filling. The wings were my favorite. Great cocktail selection as well and a nice outdoor seating on a warm day.

The food was okay wasn’t the best I expected better because my coworker spoke highly of this place. The drinks was very water down in my opinion the red wine was not wine at all it tasted like kool-Aid. the wings was not all that and the fries I didn’t like, the egg rolls I had better but that was the only thing that was really good other than that everything was basic. I had better Korean barbecue….

Food was great! The only item we would not say that's in our top 10 would be the collard green. We liked the concept of ordering at the bar then picking up our food at another station (business genius on saving money on staffing😁). The bartender was very helpful and patient as we ordered, it was our first time and we wanted to get a variety of menu items to try.

I’m not really into Korean food, but the good thing is there’s a great barbecue section which will satisfy everyone. They just add their own Korean inspired sauce, which wasn’t too different to Carolina bbq sauce. The brisket was amazing. As we’re the Kimchi Beef fries. Serving sizes are large, so share. Enjoy.

We came to Seoul Food on a last minute Google search find and I am so happy that we did. With my LOVE for Korean food and the current Korean fusion trend, I have been all over looking for good Korea fusion and I've been disappointed in almost every place I've gone to. Seoul Food Meat Company has officially changed that for me. I love the get in line to order, open seating, almost cafeteria style concept, with a walk up bar on the opposite side. The inside was open and inviting with a very cozy looking outside section. It was almost hard to make our decision on what to order as the menu has so many good looking items. We decided to do what we normally do and order a bunch of different items to fully get the taste of what they are all about. Needless to say, there wasn't a single item that we ordered that didn't have good authentic Korean flavor with a hit of a delicious fusion twist to it. The brisket taco is by far the best Korean taco I've ever had, with the kimchee pork taco as a close second. The pork belly threw me completely to left field as I've never had Korean pork belly with the crispy skin. Mix the juicy pork with the spicy dipping sauce...that was a game changer. The kimchee cheese fries with bulgogi beef on top had such a great mixture of flavors and textures. The fried chicken had the perfect crispiness to the outside like the traditional Korean fried chicken and the soy garlic sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The fried chicken kimbop was my least favorite dish on the table but it was still a super delicious addition to our plate. I would gladly go back and eat the same exact meal again and know that I would be just as satisfied as the first time. Washing the meal down with a Seouled Fashion and alcoholic Butter Beer was the perfect way to finish it off. I'm definitely going to be making a special trip back to Charlotte to try the rest of the menu. With the glimpse of the other items I saw on people's plates, I know I'm in for a completely different, yet still amazing experience.

Ribs were delicious! Hands down the best thing we ordered. Brisket left me wishing it wasn't as dry unfortunately. Chicken wings were just okay (they tasted double dipped and fried). Potato spirals were tasty ! We wrapped up with a green tea ice cream in a delicious deep fried sugar biscuit. Would definitely stop back in to have lunch - will just have to be more selective off the menu.

The Kimchi fries were interesting and good, I was not expecting double fried wings when I ordered them. Entering a establishment with the name Seoul food Meat I was expecting to have some good Korean food not brisket, wings and everything else you would find in a southern BBQ restaurant. I was disappointed. I was looking for something different and found the same.The only thing good were the patrons.
