The soup is thick, savory, and bold of gochujang flavor. The rich flavors of marinated Korean meat also enhance the flavor of their homemade spicy soup. With its generous portion, this heavenly pot is perfect to share with 2-3 people and it’s also available in beef or seafood version.

The crunchy chicken hand brushed 1 piece at a time with their specialty soy garlic and sweet & spicy sauce, both of them are scrumptious, savory, spicy and slightly sweet while the chicken was very juicy and tender with crispy skin. The most fun and best part is when the chicken rolled in cheese! The staff will melt the cheese in front of the customer, roll the cheese on the chicken wings, and then serve it immediately.

Sarang Bibimbap

One bowl wonder! Bibimbap is a Korean mixed rice and this Sarang Bibimbap is served as a hot stone pot of warm white rice topped with assorted vegetables, a choice of meat (spicy chicken or bulgogi beef / spicy squid), and sunny side up egg. There is two sauce selection, Bibim (slightly spicy and sweet, for the traditional taste) and BBQ (non-spicy and slightly sweet, suitable for kids). The rice was slightly crispy, and the veggies and sauces all had excellent flavor. We really like the sesame aroma which gives a better taste and make it flavorful.

Korean Rice Balls

If Japan has onigiri, Korea has Jumeokbap. Yes, it’s a Korean version of onigiri or Korean rice ball. In Seoul Yummy, this Korean seaweed rice rolled comes in 2 selection of meat, Spicy Chicken and Bulgogi Beef. We prefer the Spicy Chicken since it’s spicy and savory while the Bulgogi Beef is slightly sweet in a good way.

Potato Pancake / Kimchi Pancake

Have you ever tried Pajeon or Korean pancake? If you’ve never tried it, then you should do! It’s available in two version, with pan-fried grated potatoes or pan-fried homemade kimchi, shredded carrot, and spring onion pancake. Personally, we prefer the potato pancake since it has more familiar flavor like we had in any other Korean restaurant. As for the cheese lover, you can add cheese topping for IDR 15,000.
