Reviews for Seoul Food Meat Company in Charlotte, NC
We read reviews of this spot and had high expectations before our visit. We ended up with just bar food. Maybe we ordered the... wrong thing? You enter and line up to place our order at the bar with the bartender who was very friendly. You then seatyourself here. We ordered a selection of multiple items. There was a pickup table in the rear. We ordered fries (average),corn on the cob (too much Parmesan) wings (not bad), beef and pork egg rolls (beef tasted better than the pork), a potato on astick (daughter enjoyed) a beer and mixed drink in a bag; and we were not impressed or blown away. We came and we tried it.Workers were friendly. Read more
TLDR: Creative food concept located in a great space for casual social gatherings and large groups. Come with the expectation of... American style BBQ with a *hint* of Korean flavors. Vibe: 5/5. Located in the ever popular South End district of Charlotte,Seoul Food is perfectly nestled amongst several breweries and bars nearby. They offer both ample inside and outside seating forgroups small and large. Taking a page from traditional BBQ joints, they utilize a order at the counter and pickup system insteadof a traditional wait service. IMO this keeps things casual and makes dealing the check in large groups much easier. As a bonus,Seoul Food has several karaoke rooms available to rent which makes for the perfect addition to any group outing. Service: 5/5.Since Seoul uses counter service, our interactions with the staff were limited, however very pleasant when they happened. Wecame at 11:30am on a Saturday and we're seated immediately by the host. The counter server was very nice and attentive atgetting our order placed and brought our drinks out in a timely manner. When we received the bill, we noticed that there was anerror for a drink (wanted a virgin cocktail but we're charged for the alcoholic version). The staff was quick to make the billrevision and we were on our way. Food/Drink: 4/5. Everytime I visit Charlotte I make it a point to stop by Seoul food for ameal and it has never disappointed. The food menu has largely stayed the same over the years, offering diners a fun fusion takeon American BBQ and Korean food. The meats are the main event, with offerings such as crispy pork belly, beef rib, pork spareribs and pulled pork. The meats are mostly American style BBQ in how they are prepared (smoked). The beef rib was ginormous insize and smoked perfectly to a fall of the bone tenderness. The crispy pork belly was oozing with juices and had a hardenedcrispy shell of outside skin that reminded me of Filipino lechon. For the sides, this is where the A Read more
Meat here is most similar to US BBQ with a slight Korean twist. Beef ribs were amazing and the wings were very crunchy and... tasty. Get these 2 items for sure. Read more
Entered and like that it was first come first serve in seating. So it was easy to find a spot to eat. Had to order food and... drinks at the bar. Ordered the chicken Kimchi fries , Fried Fish Taco and chicken tacos. Bartender/waitress left of my drinkwhen I ordered. Ordered the Date with Marks and bartender/waitress poured me half a glass. Told her I was not paying $12 for atwo sip drink. Especially after I seen several FULL glass drinks being served. She confronted the "manager" about the drink andhe goes on to say, "that's a shot in the drink so she poured correctly." I said "if that's the case you can keep that." Youwasted that liquor on your dime not mine. Therefore, not sure if this place has good drinks. But the food was good. Food cameout quick and was hot. Well seasoned and sauced. I would back for the food and hopefully better service on drinks. Read more
Had some of the best wings in Charlotte NC at Seoul Food Meat Company. They have a really great outdoor space with a really fun... bar- great service too. We had two flavors of their signature wings, soy garlic and BBQ- they were so crunchy and saucy- wereperfectly cooked. We also had their take on mac & cheese, their Ramen Mac N cheese which uses Ramen noodles. The potato saladwas also delicious and the kimchi fries were outrageous- Such great taste & crunchy.. So excited to go back!! Read more
I've never had a fusion of Korean BBQ and American BBQ before trying this place, and it did not disappoint. We got a small rib... with lots of sides and we left stuffed and with leftovers for the next day. The sides are unique, fun, and filling. Read more

The wings, pimento cheese with shrimp chips, and pork belly are my favorite menu items. They?re a bit pricey compared to other... places but the food is really good and it doesn?t take too long to come out. Extroverted environment good for hangouts anddrinks with friends. They also have karaoke. Spacious with room in the restaurant and bar as well as the bar in the back. Read more
