Reviews For Seoul Sarang (Korean BBQ and Hotpot)

Went for a dinner with friends at Seoul Sarang and what an amazing experience. The servers were quick and attentive and the foods were delicious. For people looking to visit Seoul Sarang I would highly recommend it, if you are a large group I do suggest booking a table in advance as it does get busy during the weekends. I will definitely come back again and recommend it to others as well.

We had a great first time visit to Seoul Sarang and will most definitely return! We went for the Korean table BBQ ordering the four choices of meat plus a number of sides and appetisers. The marinated meats were tasty and full of flavour. Cooking them yourselves added to the overall experience. The Spicy Korean Fried Chicken was some of the best we had tasted. The staff were amazing - very attentive and keen to know if we were having a good time and if anything could be improved. The bill came to 100 for four people which we thought was excellent value for money too. Another great addition to Ashford. We will be back!

I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Firstly the venue itself is clean, and looks trendy and up market. Secondly the staff are so friendly and helpful, it was our first time going to a Korean BBQ restaurant and they spoke us though the dishes and have really good recommendations on what to eat, in addition to attentive and friendly service. But also the food is SOOO good!!! I haven’t eaten a meal that good and paid such a reasonable price for it, ever! This place is a true gem, it’s perfect for celebrations, date nights or social gatherings! I also tried soju for the first time and it was delicious! Love love LOVE this place! I can’t wait to go back!

This was such a great restaurant. It was my first Korean bbq and the staff were so helpful and friendly, everything was explained clearly and the waiter gave us suggestions on how much to order. The food was delicious, it was so fun to cook ourselves and the restaurant itself was really clean and spacious.

Brilliant, Local owned, food is great I would highly recommend. Was worried about the lack of quantity of reviews but it’s because they are new. Come and give them some support. Given I was travelling though and just happed to find this was amazing. On par with the best in London but at a decent price.

Absolutely amazing experience! We went as a group of four and had the Korean BBQ, and it was perfect from start to finish. The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite was packed with authentic taste, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The service was flawless—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. They explained everything clearly and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. This is exactly what Ashford was missing! A place like this brings something new and exciting to the area, and it’s definitely a must-visit. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and experience, making it even better. I honestly could not recommend it enough. If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fantastic dining experience, this is the place to go!

Normally, I’m quite skeptical when a restaurant tries to offer everything at once. Sushi, Hot Pot, and BBQ usually means they’re spreading themselves too thin. I went in with lower expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. We chose the Hot Pot, and it was genuinely excellent. The broth was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh. The service was also very attentive . We never had to wait long for anything, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The restaurant itself was very clean, including the tables, cutlery, and overall setup, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only small drawback was the noticeable upselling attempts by the staff, which at times felt a bit pushy. It didn’t ruin the evening, but it was something we definitely noticed. All in all, a great experience and far better than I expected. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for a good Hot Pot!
