I’ve been here twice, just recently with some family and friends after a day of shopping at IKEA. The food was very delicious and felt authentically Korean to me. I tried the dumpling soup this time it was a comfort food for sure. The only strange part about coming here was actually entering the restaurant. The front door is locked tight and you need to ring a doorbell to come in. I went to let our friends in but the owner insisted he do it himself. It didn’t bother me much but it was weird. Other than that I had a great time here and would recommend you come if ever in New Haven.

I remember only two things. 1. It is 4-5 dollars more expensive than other Korean restaurants. 2. The portions are much smaller than other Korean restaurants.

Old school family run restaurant with solid food with a home cooked feel. Elegant interior with art. You do have to be buzzed inside but it’s not nearly as big a deal as some reviews made out. Would go again.

I have been to many Korean restaurants and this is THE worst. It is over priced and has very low quality. I could hardly find any beef in the bibimbap. Instead of using real beef, it looked like bits of ground beef to me. I have never had this kind of beef bibimbap before. At first I thought they gave me the veggie one instead. Unbelievable low quality! The side dishes were also bad. I was very upset after eating there. No beef in beef bibimbap, I consider this is cheating. I don’t recommend it at all! Dishonest business!

My partner and I came here for dinner and were greeted by a locked door. We had to press a doorbell to be let in. There were two other parties in an otherwise empty restaurant. The man who unlocked the door was not friendly and just grumbled at us. When we asked if there were any gluten-free dishes, this man just shortly replied that everything on the menu has gluten, and reiterated it again. He did not try to offer anything but just stated this. We told him we had to go but thanks. We then had to unlock the front door ourselves to let ourselves out. Very disappointing and strange experience.

I was here with my family of 4 including my grandparents visiting from Ecuador they were really excited to try Korean food for the first time and we were treated very rudely by the man, he hurried us to order with an attitude, my mother had asked him for a picture for memories after bringing our food and he rolled his eyes at us and proceeded to reluctantly accept to take the phone by reaching his hand. My mom said no that’s it’s ok after that encounter and he left. After that we asked him if we could have straws for our waters and he threw them on the table and the straws didn’t have any wrapping paper or cover. he didn’t come at all after that. And once we got the check, my mom wanted to ask the woman why is this person treating us this way and she continued to say that’s just how he is and his attitude can’t be helped. I noticed throughout the time the other people coming in were not Hispanic like us but rather white and Asian and they were treated with such niceness and calmness by this man. I liked this place once. I had been there many times and I hated how the one time I brought the people I loved the most. People who didn’t speak English on they’re own and needed help from me and my mom had an experience like this.

This food is good. Ordered rice and beef source. I can’t even recall the name of my order but it taste real good. The lady that waited on us was very pleasant and responsive. Our order didn’t take up to 10mins and I was immensely please cause I was famished. There’s reserve parking for the customers of Soul Restaurant. There’s also a accessible entrance.

Amazing taste of Korean Food and culture. The owner server and cook, kindly greeted us and walked us through the menu. She was so sweet and happy to help. The food was really great aswell. The portions are a bit on the bigger size so we had left overs. I will definitely be back.

Authentic Korean cuisine. We were alone for awhile on a quiet Saturday for a late lunch. The food was promptly served. The kimchi pajun wasn’t of the style we expected. It refers to many things, so we should have asked. Their version was more of a veggie pancake with onions and other veggies, with less kimchi. The rice in the stone pot bibimbap was nicely lightly burnt, giving it the classic crunchy texture contrasting with the soft veggies. The house special kalbi was marinated perfectly. The boneless beef short ribs was tender and delicious. All in all a very pleasant lunch in a quiet atmosphere.

Totally not recommending to visit this restaurant. The waiter was very hostile and he made me leave before ordering just because how unwelcome I felt. Horrible manners and atmosphere.
