We heard online about this all you can eat Korean BBQ place in Kennedy Town that includes soy sauce crab so we went made a reservation to try it out.Located just a walk away from the Kennedy Town MTR station, is SeoulSoul. I'm glad we did make reservations because it was fairly full. We came on a weekday at 6 PM so the price was only $348.

Located just a walk away from the Kennedy Town MTR station, is SeoulSoul. I'm glad we did make reservations because it was fairly full. We came on a weekday at 6 PM so the price was only $348. There is no time limit but we did notice that the QR code ordering menu ended after 5 hours.
The place is larger than we expected so it was nicely spaced out and not cramped. They have a selfie spot where you can have your photo taken for $20 or it's free if it's your birthday. I thought a nice idea if you want to celebrate a birthday somewhere that this is included.
Each table had a grill that was slanted downwards. A bit different than the usual Korean BBQ where they are often in a circle. Instructions said to place marinated meats in the middle and nonmarinated and seafood on the side.
Drinks and ice cream are at one corner of the restaurant. It was a decent selection of Korean items. I was especiallhy pleased they had the mango popsicle. It's one of my favorites. There is also hot water which is helpful after eating ice cream, it got a bit cold.
They start you off with a variety platter of beef, pork, potatoes, eggplant and various mushrooms. There was two types of beef (short rib and a marinated galbi). This initial plate is grilled by a staff member. After that you're on your own.
They also placed a large plate of sweet kimchi. This wasn't spicy.
A large plate of salad was also provided. Very crisp with a tossing of kimchi so there was a bit of a kick.
And finally the soysauce crab and shrimp. Apparently each person gets half a crab and two shrimp. This is not unlimited. Children and elderly are not provided this as it's raw meat. It was pretty good. The seasoning was salty and spicy. The crab had some crab fat but I loved the shrimp a lot more.
The rest of the items can be ordered by QR code. The menu here is in English and Chinese and there are a lot of things to choose from. Lots more items to BBQ along with cooked Korean dishes. Portions were not large so you can sample a lot. So we could order rice and noodles and still have enough for other items.
The kimchi octopus was our favorite. A bit more sweet than spicy and it was well marinated.
The short rib soup was also excellent. The beef was so soft it literally fell off the bone.
Items ordered came out quickly and no item was missed. The place was clean and the staff was helpful. Food quality was good and we loved the time limit was so long. You don't have a need to rush to finish everything you ordered.
