Reviews for Seoul Street in Ann Arbor, MI
Excellent chicken, probably the best in town. Order by phone only, not a friendly place and prices have skyrocketed. Still, ... the BEST fried chicken around though. Read more
I have no idea why people seem to take issue with how the owner runs his business, you order on the website and show up at the... time you choose. That's it. It's easily the most painless takeout ordering process I've ever experienced and it's leagues aheadof anywhere else. Regarding the food, easily the best chicken I've had in my life, and you're doing yourself a disservice ifyou don't try the kimchi fries; They are out of this world! Read more
Until today, I had nothing bad to say about this place. Sure, the manager is a little "all business, no smile" at times, but the... food is pretty good! Well, after today I am never again patronizing Seoul Street. I placed my order over the phone and was toldto wait the usual 45 minutes before coming in to pick up the wings. This is standard procedure, so I wasn't surprised.Well, upon arriving I was confronted by the manager and he let me know that he had "not started" my wings because apparently Ihad forgotten to pick up my small, personal order of 4 thighs (approximately $12) a week ago. FOOTNOTE: Immediately uponhearing this I remembered that I had, indeed, ordered and forgotten BUT I never received a phone call letting me know that mywings were done either! Had I received a call, I would have immediately come to pick up my product. Well, after kindly lettingthe manager know that I had not received a call and also reminding him that I am a repeat customer, he looked at meand reiterated that he had not begun cooking the wings that I had already waited nearly an hour for. While this ONE STRIKEPOLICY would've surely infuriated anyone else, I calmly explained the logical fallacy behind his poor business method/punishmentand left the establishment. Apparently Seoul Street is doing well enough financially to both burn bridges with loyal, repeatcustomers (without giving them a chance to make up for their small mistakes) and give unfriendly, unsmiling service. Now that Ilook at it, I'm surprised this place has made it so long in the friendly city of Ann Arbor. Oh well, my body will probablythank me for ceasing the ingestion of their no- doubt MSG-laden chicken product. Thanks for that, Seoul Street. Read more
Seoul street is a small, no-frills spot that offers some ?traditional? Korean food like kimchi fried rice as well as more fusion... dishes like kimchi fries. Pros: the food is fantastic, the prices are affordable, and it?s in a great location for peopleliving on north campus Cons: the elephant in the room? the person who I believe is the owner is rude. He?s not friendly and hedoesn?t seem to really care about the customer. HOWEVER, The interaction you have with him is very short, and the food is justso delicious that I don?t mind a minimal, unpleasant interaction. He?s not even usually the person at the registeroftentimes. My recs: Korean fried chicken (soy garlic and spicy are both good, spicy is very spicy!) and the kimchi fries (I?vehad kimchi fries in various places across the country and none have compared to the kimchi fries here) Pro tip: order way wayahead and order online for pick u. They?re not the most responsive over the phone. Read more
I think 4 stars is apt for this establishment. Delicious chicken no doubt, that batter is incredible. Definitely go for the soy... garlic or spicy both are tasty. The kimchi on the fries was delicious as well. Now for the cons. The chicken isn't mind blowingbut the flavors are great, that spicy chicken is great but feels tamed down, could be the gochujang they use. The kimchi too hadthat great fermenty flavor but no spice or perhaps it's drowned by the cheese and other ingredients. Overall, I'd probably goagain and I enjoyed my first experience there. 4 stars!

The best fried chicken I've ever had, both sauces are great but the hot is a must, the dumplings are great too. There's a wait... on the chicken from 15-30 minutes but it's made to order and more than well worth the wait. The prices are great for the qualityof what you're getting. Will definitely be going back Read more
An interesting twist on normal fried chicken. Ordered the medium combo with wings and chicken legs in half and half sauce, and... the corn salad side. The chicken was hot, and super crispy!! The pieces were coated in just the right amount of sauce and notdredged in it. Though I felt the hot sauce was a little more spicy than I could handle. The side wasn't a salad at all, justsweet corn from a can packed in a disposable. Nonetheless it went with the chicken well. 2 stars less because despite the foodbeing great, there is definitely room for improvement. 1. The wait was too long. If the server had informed us before we placedour order we might have reconsidered. 2. There is limited seating and the restaurant needs to improve on the cleanliness toencourage more patrons to dine in. Read more
I would like to give 1star but since chicken is really good, i give it 2. I hope the owner of this restaurant give time to clean... the store. Very unsanitary. Everything is dirty. If i am with state/city sanitation inspector and see that place, i will shut itdown right away. Read more
