Service was terrible, took them at least 5 minutes to even come to the table then another 15 before they came back to take our order. Food was awful, no flavor and there was maybe 1 piece of beef cut up in my hot stone bowl. No idea how this place was voted best of philly, will NEVER return! So sorry I spent almost $60 and ate all of 2 bites.

The interior is a surprisingly large and nicely decorated. We were some of the only non-asians in the restaurant but the servers went out of their way to be helpful and hospitable. There are enough choices on the menu to satisfy almost any craving and the tableside barbeque is a real attraction.

Chef Cho and the staff go out of their way to make you feel important. The food is always top notch and is my family's go to Korean restaurant. Special thanks to chef Cho for helping make my son's birthday special.

Went to this out of the way place. Don't let the outside or area deter you. Its a good value and food was excellent.

Very good food and excellent service.

Energetic and attentive staff!

The quality of the food, the abundance and the taste was excellent!

The food here is incredible...authentic, delicious and nice portions. We ordered bbq (Bulgogi and the Pork - you cook at your table over hot coals), as well as a dish with kim chi and beef. All of it was delicious. Of course, they serve you the million appetizers before hand. Our favorite was the grilled mackerel - YUM. We made reservations (and recommend it on the weekends) and it was handled well and we sat promptly. Is the neighborhood the best? No. However, they have a security guard who could not be nicer. I cannot recommend Seorabol enough! Fun, delicious food, authentic experience = great.

Great hidden gem. Went with a group of 6 and had the BBQ pit at the table. Everyone left full and you can't beat the price.

The staff was very helpful and pleasant

We thought the food was good, but the meat was rather fatty. My husband got a couple pieces he had to pull out of his mouth. The flavors were good, though. As for the service, the food came very fast, but they totally forgot about half our drink orders. The food cam flying out before we had even gotten all the drinks. All-in-all, it was a fun experience, but nothing life-changing, which is what I had sort of expected from the other reviews

Lots of fun. The beef galbi is so good and the ice cold yogurt soju was perfect for a warm day. Lots of little bites to go with the meat but be careful because you can get full quickly. Service is fast and they always check to make sure you're grilling ok. Definitely going back.

Always a perfect experience when we eat here. Brought my Mom and son tonight and was able to order her favorite Tofu and seafood soup just the way she liked it.. Not spicy ☺

I would recommend this restaurant to my friends. Great tasty food and there was a lot of varieties in their menu. Thanks for the friendly services they provide for me and my date.

Having never eaten Korean barbecue, I was skeptical. The food was plentiful, interesting, and an excellent value. The side dishes were tasty, and the beef and marinated pork were wonderful. Our party of 9 had a room to ourselves. We had so much fun cooking our meat!

The staff was so helpful and accommodating, providing plates and forks for the birthday cake which we brought along.

I highly recommend this place for a real food adventure!

Great food. Service was excelsnt

It's a very delicious Korean food. The service is really good too! They're nice. However, the price is a little bit expensive. Overall, everything is good and I would come again!!

Can't say enough good things about our waiter's patience and help. The complimentary appetizers were varied and all delicious. The seafood pancake was huge, delicious and filling. There were about 8 great dumplings... way more than expected. The eel roll was okay. All of the entrées were spicy, flavorful and excellent: Jaeyook pork bibimbap, seafood hot pot and chicken. Everything paired well with Korean beer. Can't wait to come back and try the BBQ.

Does not mention a liquor license, small selection of alcohol. $15 corkage charge

food was very fresh and well prepared, better than other Korean restaurants we have tried. service was friendly. we will be back.

This is our first time at this restaurant and we really enjoyed the food and service. Everything was tasty and portion size was appropriate. We will be back!

Best Korean food in the North East! Meal begins with a delicious whole grilled fish and variety of sides including kimchi. We had the Spicy Galbi and it is literally the best I've had (and I've eaten a lot of Galbi over the past 35 years!). The water and tea are served in plain plastic pitchers and there's nothing fancy about this place but it doesn't matter because the quality, freshness and spectacular taste of the food overrides all of that. We went back 2 weeks after our first visit and have already planned our next...this time bringing a group!

Today was my friend's first time having Korean food and he absolutely loved it. I am super happy we chose to come to SRB to get the full, authentic experience. The meats were well-marinated, the sashimi was fresh, and the bbokumbop was delicious. I especially enjoyed that they put a pear slice into the naengmyun - it's not real without it! In addition to the flavorful foods, the service was superb. The servers were friendly and attentive, and consistently changed our grill plate. Overall, I would recommend SRB to anyone and everyone.

I had been to this Resturant twice. The first time I had the traditional Korean BBQ which was great very tasty and flavorful. I love the variation of side dishes with come with the meal to dress up everything. The staff was over all very friendly during my first visit which lead me to come back again a second time as my over all experience was lovely.

Second time was just ok staff was some what friendly but my waiter was new which was not very helpful considering I'm not an expert on Koren dishes and wanted to try something new. Finally on a whim I ordered the Dobsot Bibim Bap assorted veg & beef over rice in a hot stone bowl. I would say the dish was just ok. I was really disappointed with the amount of beef served in this dish and it was very bland. Be aware if you order this that it literly only had a few sprinkles of beef. I questioned the waiter about it and he informed me that that was normal.

Not sure when I would go back here again but over all it a good restaurant if you know what to order, but I would say given my experience the quality of service was definitely mot consistent.

Dined here on Valentine's Day 2015. (Just to note: I work in the restaurant industry myself thus may be more discriminating then most..) I was shocked at how affordable our bill was for two people particularly with how much food we received. We chose two beef selections of the Korean bbq. The food was excellent! The marinades they use for the meats are incredibly flavorful. Our reservations were for 6 and it was definitely vibrantly busy by the time our meal was finished. You wouldn't expect such excellent food in a little strip mall in the Olney area! They do also have a very large parking lot which ranked high in convenience for us. I would definitely return. My only criticism at all was that the serving staff could have been a bit more attentive.

Been looking for a good Korean BBQ-found it. Food comes fast and it is delicious. A little pricey but worth it. Had Soju for the first time. Next time I want to try the Soju with yogurt.

When we invited our friends out for the evening, we sent along the link to the restaurant and our korean friends response was "this place is LEGIT". When we got there, he was proved absolutely right.

The food and decor was incredible. It was a great night and will become a celebration spot for the future.

For Korean food or Korean BBQ, Seorabol or Kim's on 5th is my favorite by far! I just wish they were closer to Center City!

A great dining experience that's quite authentic. The staff is friendly and accommodating even if their English isn't the best, eventually we worked it all out.

We've been going to this Korean restaurant for years now. Food is as always great, service is quick. It never disappoints!

Great experience but we had no idea what we were doing. The manager helped as best he could but the place was packed. We did a hot pot and once we figured it out it was good, but spicy! Excited to go back to try the grill!

Also, you will have to contact opentable to get your points. They do not use it consistently.

It is a good place to go if you are looking for dining with some entertainment because you got to grill your own meat. With all those appetisers that come for free it will be a lot of food - so better gather a group to go.

I love coming here! I go to Seorabol at least twice/week! I did not know they are on open table or else I would have gotten so many points for all those times I go! I love the banchan, each time there is always something good! I've definitely had everything on their menu except for the raw beef dish which I am contemplating on. Everything here is so good! I wish I live closer so that I can go here everyday!

Best Korean food I have ever had! Hands down! I will definitely be coming back!

Great food..medium priced..kind service. It's located in a little plaza and has off street parking. I love their side dishes that come with the bbq.

Eating here was a nice dining experience. Although the waiter and waitress could not understand English very well, they served us well. However, learning English would help the dining experience with questions about the menu and process. We ordered the ribeye and the pork... both grilled on the dining table. Both dishes were tasty and they provided about a dozen side dishes. In addition they provided mackerel as sort of an appetizer. This was cooked very well and tasted delicious. The dishes were a bit pricey for the experience and quantity of food. However we plan on going back and trying other less-expensive dishes.

As an avid koreatown-goer in NYC, I found this korean BBQ place on yelp, and made the trek north (definitely need a car to get here happily/safely) with my boyfriend. While my galbi was good for the most part (a bit overcooked, and I actually turned it myself at one point), his pork belly ended up being overcooked. Several pieces of the pork belly ended up being charred essentially to the point of in-edibleness, which is definitely not ok when you're paying NYC prices. I will say, I didn't try any of the other entrees, and it could just be we had an inexperienced server. Next time, if we go again, I think I will explain that we prefer our stuff "less done."

Well worth venturing off the beaten path for this authentic outpost of Korean cuisine in all its varieties. I can't wait to go back to try different dishes.

We've been going to this restaurant for years. The food comes out quick, the BBQ is delicious! Just beware that most servers don't speak English much - but that's how you know, the food is authentic and good!

This place was really wonderful. The sides were all extremely tasty and the Korean BBQ meats that we ordered (bulgogi and pork belly) were great, along with the black bean noodles and hot stone bowl with seafood. The stingray wasnt our favorite, it was a little tough in places, but the flavor was great. We ate to our hearts content and it came out to about $20 a person which is completely reasonable for korean BBQ. I would recommend this place to friends.

I've been to Seorabol multiple times and it's absolutely wonderful every time. The food is always delicious and the staff if very courteous.
