Before I begin this review, I wanna just clear the air here. I like kimchi, I'm a big fan. My mom lived in Korea for a while and I grew up eating Korean food. I've been to several cities in Korea, and it's always a culinary pleasure, with the exception of some silkworm larvae one time. I also think Korean food can be married with cheese in a good way. Last time I was in Seoul, for instance, I had a kimchi pancake covered in cheese and it was delicious. But know ye this: I think kimchi and cheese
I also think Korean food can be married with cheese in a good way. Last time I was in Seoul, for instance, I had a kimchi pancake covered in cheese and it was delicious. But know ye this: I think kimchi and cheese has to be finessed. At Seoul Bros, nothing is finessed.
Cheese fries! Lemme just state that I like the version of cheese fries which is nacho cheese on good fries. This is that version and I liked it, there you go. But they just throw a pile of kimchi on it. To tell you the truth, I'd rather eat those two things separately. I wound up picking around it. I can actually see myself coming back here and ordering the kimchi fries without the kimchi.
Quesadillas! Strange ones at that. We got the chicken, and its first interesting and notable feature is that the chicken is breaded and deep fried. I won't say that I'm against that. A little soggy though. The second strangeness was-- mozzerella cheese. It's not a pizza, Bro. Finally of course, there's kimchi. They couldn't really call it Korean food if they didn't stuff some kimchi in it, I guess. Altogether, it's surprisingly OK. I could be convinced to order this again.
Finally, banh mi! It goes without saying that there's kimchi on it. Then you've got some pretty thick slices of pickled daikon-- nicely done, not too sweet. The meat we got was bulgogi. Well, it says 'beef' on the menu, but it tasted like bulgogi. I think the meat was a little too sweet. I asked my wife if she remembered what the baguette was like, and she didn't. Neither did I, so I'm going to label it 'forgettable'. On the whole I thought it was alright. It's certainly not as bad as the banh mi you find someplaces, but I will say I prefer Bep's sandwiches, which you can get not too far from Seoul Bros. I said at the beginning that nothing is finessed here. Now let me defend that. There's a way of making fusion food that involves marrying the ingredients, so that they become one flesh, like real married people. Or something. But this is just a bunch of stuff slapped together. It's not bad, and it's noticeably very affordable. I could see myself coming back, but I won't be talking this place up to all my friends or anything. "Hey, I went to this new Korean fusion place." "Yeah, what's it like?" "Oh, they just put kimchi in everything."
