" Road to Seoul is a gem in Koreatown! I've been here a couple of times, and somehow, it gets better with each visit. The all-you-can-eat options are fantastic, especially if you go for the premium selection. The spicy pork belly is exceptional; it's juicy and full of flavor. Our server was quick to refill our sides, and the attention we received made us feel special. The only downside was the parking situation; it's definitely a small lot so be prepared for that. Overall, this place checks all the boxes for a proper Korean BBQ experience, and I can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is perfect for casual dining with friends. The AYCE is a fun experience. The meats were higher quality than I've had at other places, though I found their portion sizes to be slightly lesser than expected on a couple of items. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the service was multifunctional as we received help from different staff members. Even though it was quite busy, we were served in a reasonable amount of time. A solid choice for Korean BBQ in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a lively atmosphere and solid KBBQ, this place is definitely a good option. Their marinated meats were good, but I personally prefer less marination for that authentic flavor. The service was helpful and prompt. A fun experience overall, but I wouldn't say it's the best KBBQ I've ever had. " (*Curated Review*)

" Road to Seoul has been one of my favorites since it opened! Their AYCE options are fantastic, particularly for the price. You can enjoy a variety of meats with special marination that really highlights the flavors of each cut. The server was helpful, suggesting popular dishes. However, seating can be a bit tight during peak hours, making it slightly uncomfortable for larger groups. Despite the crowded feel, the cheerful vibe and delicious food definitely made up for it. I’d recommend trying the cheese corn on the side! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit at Road to Seoul just solidified my belief that they are the go-to place for Korean BBQ. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff aimed to provide excellent service. I dove into their option C and was blown away by the quality of the marinated meats. The sweet potato fries and cheese corn provided great accompaniment to our meal. I do recommend making a reservation as it tends to get crowded. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes visiting Road to Seoul after hearing great things. The ambiance was lively, which I liked, but the food underwhelmed me. I found the ribeye enjoyable but felt like the marinated meats did not have the authentic flavor I expected; some tasted a bit too sweet and over-marinaded. I guess it caters to a broader audience, but as someone familiar with traditional flavors, I was looking for something more genuine. The service was consistent, although we experienced a long wait for some orders. A mixed bag overall, I might give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Road to Seoul, and while the ambiance was lively, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The meats were decent, but I felt they lacked some punch. The service was generally fine, and the atmosphere bustling, but I think there's better out there in terms of authenticity. A solid experience but not the best I've had. " (*Curated Review*)
