Great atmosphere and service. The staff were friendly and attentive. There were several reasons it didn't get 5 stars from us. First off, the prices are pretty steep. If one person wants all-you-can-eat for $40, everyone at the table must also get all-you-can-eat. Second, it's the first place I've ever eaten that gives you a timeframe to eat your meal (100 minutes) and charges you for any waste ($25 per 1/2 pound). The food, for the most part, is excellent. The meats were amazing, but the vegetable options were "mid" at best. The vegetables come out very dry and hard to cook on the hibachi. A great veggie dish with saute and oil would be a nice addition to the meaty goodness!

The food was great and so was the presentation :). The service was also excellent! All the employees that passed by were very kind and helpful. It was my first time here along with my friend and it was a pleasant experience for us. I highly suggest the bulgogi with rice and the cheesy corn! I definitely will come again!

This place executed every step of the experience perfectly. They took phone reservation and the reservation was kept and on time. They seated us quickly and presented every side dish in a lovely manner and as we were seated we got our server almost right away. Our server Ethan explained how the dining worked for the menu and how ordering for the all you can eat worked as well as the grill controls. After placing our order, we got all the meat in seconds and the grill was already the perfect temp to start cooking. This is the service you would expect at ritzy big time 5 star Michelin restaurant. Absolutely everything was delicious. The Bolgogi on every type of meat was incredibly tender and well marinated, the pork belly was cut for the best thickness and the different oils and seasoning provided was paired beautifully. We were even advised by Ethan (the server) of the best way to make his preferred Seol Steak, which he couldn't have been more right about. The total cost was well worth the experience. When I saw the price prior to going and that gratuity was included I thought, "well at least I'll get my money's worth" but by the end of it I thought I didn't pay enough. My only regret is not taking pictures of the food to display in this review but it just came out so fast and was so good, I didn't even think to. Absolutely would recommend this gem in Cary. 5/5, will be going again.

Last few times we have gone here the last 2 years we have done the all you can eat. This time we did a platter and although it is more expensive, it is DEFINITELY the way to go. The meat quality is better and you can cook and take home whatever you don’t finish. It comes with several sides. The marinated ones are so delicious. The service is fantastic. You only have to wait a little bit if you use the only yelp reservation tool.

Went for a girls lunch and have to say I HIGHLY recommend. Alwyn our server was exceptional. Taught us how to work the grill and was on top with refilling our sauces, sides and orders. Also a bonus is how cute the robot was who sat us. 10/10 recommend. (Also if you go get the Peachy Lychee!)

Went there yesterday at lunch time. Waited for about 15 minutes to get seated although there were many tables actually vacant. I guess they try to keep the food materials fresh and in good quality, so they serve slow. I ordered all-you-can-order BBQ. A lot of meat, just one vegetable mix, with several slices of mushrooms and a slice of tofu. But the taste was good enough, Lol. I went there because i miss the Korean BBQ that i had in China. Servers are polite and tentative. No much noise.

My experience at Seol Grille was nothing short of amazing! While we had to wait for about 30 minutes to be seated, I can assure you that the experience was absolutely worth the wait. To make the most of your visit, I would recommend considering a reservation ahead of time, as this place is incredibly popular. One of the highlights of Seol Grille is undoubtedly the adorable robot cats that roam around, adding a charming and entertaining touch to the atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally friendly, which further elevates the dining experience. The restaurant is impeccably clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment. However, it's the food at Seol Grille that truly steals the show. The brisket and beef bulgogi were absolutely outstanding; they left me craving for more. I was also pleasantly surprised by the short rib patties and the calamari, which were bursting with flavor. The side dishes were equally impressive, and the extensive drink and beverage options offered something for everyone. Seol Grille is a must-visit for any food enthusiast. Despite the initial wait, the delightful ambiance, friendly staff, and, most importantly, the delectable food make it an unforgettable dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

The best Korean BBQ I had in NC, it was absolutely amazing. 👍 Ordered a meal for two, a good portion and awesome food &side items. Friendly service, very accommodating. A little bit pricey but worth it.. Excellent service as well.

Awesome service and great food. They were efficient and explained everything really well. Made our Mother’s Day special. Bella Bot/Pudu was a great hostess! Look forward to coming back and trying the BBQ chicken next.

It's like we died and went to KBBQ heaven. I am a kimchi nut, and to have my kimchi plate refilled that fast was terrific. We ordered the AYCE meal which didn't feature the better quality meats, but it was still some of the better quality steak I tried. Pauly was a great server. He was on top of everything. Definitely coming back, even though we live in Western North Carolina!

We visited Seol Grille for the first time, for a birthday dinner. Familiar with the style of Korean BBQ we were excited to take some guests with us who had never had the experience before. Entering the building you're asked to put your name and phone number into a tablet in order to get a table - I don't like providing personal information just to be seated, but the hostess bypassed the system (there was no one else waiting for a table). They program a mobile host for your table location and then you follow the robot through the restaurant until it stops at your table - it then jets away back to the front. I don't really understand the point of it, and I'm sure it was an expensive purchase, but that's just my opinion. The table was well prepared when we sat down, with an assortment of pickled items and toppings, plus the sauces that we would use for the remainder of the meal. It was very clean, well organized, and our waiter explained everything that was on the table. He also explained the use of the heating system and how we could control the temperature ourselves. In terms of guiding us through the meal I was very impressed with his helpfulness and suggestions in what to order next (we chose the all you can eat option for the entire party). Of note, if one person wants all you can eat the entire party also has to have that, otherwise you can choose from the ala carte menu for service for 1-2, 3-4, etc. The food options are pretty diverse, and our waiter helped us choose things that were mild, spicy, and different. Most things are cooked directly in the bbq grill, which is changed periodically through the meal so you always have a fresh cooking surface. The tables have a call button if you need to get someone's attention, although our waiter stopped by to check on us regular and offer ideas for new items to order. Waters were refilled regularly, as were the sauces. Many choices but the highlights were the teriyaki chicken, Seol steak (several varieties of this including some spicy versions), and the brisket. We also had shrimp, the egg souffle, and several other unique dishes. This is a meat eaters place - you're going to be cooking your own food and 90% of it is meat, heavy on the beef side. The sauces add uniqueness - some of the meat is not marinated so you can choose how you want to flavour it at your table, while others come prepared with their own sauces. A very positive eating experience; friendly and efficient staff; food quality was fresh; restaurant was very clean and well lit. We would definitely return for special occasions.

Incredible experience. Grill regularly changed out so we could switch meats. Grill is recessed in table so no smoke. Robot led is to our table. Good price and 18% gratuity automatically added to bill. Cute Christmas decor. Great way to end a Christmas Eve outing .

We dropped by on our way for lunch. The reviews looked great and I called to book the table, but was mentioned they only take reservations for 6 or more that also 24 hr ahead but walk in are welcome. We didn’t have to wait long enough. They even have cat robot to show the seating area to the guests. Kids were excited with it. Our server was great as it was our first grill he showed us how to get it started. We ordered sumai for appetizer. Then tried a la carte menu with marinated shrimps, pork bulgogi and squid. They were served with rice and a side. For side we for bean soup, steamed egg and cheese corn. The staffs were great they made sure we got our grill changed often so that the meat was not burnt. Our free sides were always filled and it was great to be checked often for water and all. Overall really enjoyed our time and food. Will definitely come by again to try some more items. They even have all you can eat option maybe that could be something to try next time.

Consistently an amazing experience at Seol Grille. We always leave stuffed and content, feeling like we got a great value. Friday night Chau was serving us and didn’t disappoint, but honestly all of the staff have been great. We’ve been coming here for awhile now and I’ve noticed all the staff are genuinely eager to contribute. It’s clearly a sign of great leadership to be able to deliver such great food and service consistently no matter what is ordered or who is serving it. By far, the best restaurant in Cary. Can’t wait to go back to Seol Grille again and try something new!

Meat and corn cheese was delicious but the sides were very lacking. For vegetables to cook you’re given a slice of dried out sweet potato, mushrooms, and tofu. Would have been really nice to get broccoli, carrots, or more veggie options in general. Staff was incredibly friendly, all greeted us and stayed on top of the service. However I really expected a higher end atmosphere for the $100+ we paid for 2 of us (just 2 meals, no drinks, apps, etc.) My booth was broken and there was no mood lighting or music. The place felt a bit cheap for the high price tag. Really wanted to like this place and I love the concept but probably won’t be coming back here.

Let me keep it real. First I called and asked about the wait time, was told there was a list and asked if I would like to be put on it and was even given a wait time. After waiting the given time, I go up to the counter and the hostess told us to put our name in on the tablet to join the list. Turns out we were never put on one and were lied to on the phone, love that. The portions are very very very small (the equivalent of a child’s plate) for the all you can eat (which makes sense I guess to not waste) but you have to repeatedly order to get full and the waitress was making myself and my guest feel as though it was time for us to wrap it up. We had been there for a bit but for the price, I want to get full. The fried dumplings were very very greasy and tasted like grease as well. You can see it in the picture (the residue from the other three dumplings and the grease on one). The positive: the waitress served us well.
