" We were excited to try out Road to Seoul as part of our Korean BBQ adventure. The variety of meats available was impressive, although some did lack that authentic depth of flavor we expected. The atmosphere was bustling and lively, but I felt like the servers could have been more engaged with customers. Fun place for KBBQ, just leaves a little to be desired on the flavor front. We will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a huge craving for Korean BBQ and remembered people praising Road to Seoul. The atmosphere was exciting with all the backgrounds sizzling, yet I was a little disappointed with the food quality. The short ribs I had were good, but not outstanding, and somewhat overpriced in my opinion. Still, the ambiance made up for that, and the service was decent. I would consider coming back for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Once you step into Road to Seoul, you're greeted by a vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter and sizzling sounds from the grill. My go-to dish? Definitely the spicy baby octopus which is not only fresh but spiced just right! The service staff were genuinely friendly and added to the enjoyable dining experience by making us feel welcomed. However, I noticed that after a while, the service cadence slowed down a bit, likely due to the rush. Overall, I'm thrilled with my experience and can see myself coming back frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated my birthday here, and it turned out to be an unforgettable night. We booked a table just before peak hours, which I highly recommend because it got busier soon after. Our favorite dish was the marinated short ribs; they were out of this world! The staff was incredibly friendly, ensuring our drinks were refilled and checking in on us often without being intrusive. It was nice to see a place prioritize cleanliness as well. I'd definitely love to come back for another special occasion. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always excited to go to Road to Seoul! The bustling atmosphere and the grilling experience make it a fun outing. Each dish we had was seasoned beautifully. The side of cheese corn and tofu stew were wonderful additions. The variety offered in the AYCE menu is worth it. However, I did find the service to be a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for KBBQ lovers! " (*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*)
