I met up with a friend here at this new District Mill (Noda) location for the first time, and here's the deal. This location is completely different from its original location near Southend. The original location definitely has a hipper vibe...more of a hot spot. However, I didn't like how loud it was there..and the difficult parking!! Yes, they have on-site parking, but more often than not, you can't find a space...so it required walking at least several blocks in the dark (?!?) to find one! Well, thankfully, I found the parking situation a bit more friendly here. Or maybe I arrived early enough (around 6:30ish?) to prevent lot searching and walking? Now the place itself was a shocker. Very spacious (warehouse?), but it wasn't quite a restaurant or a bar...more like a food hall. In fact, think it was adjacent to the Urban District Market (?)...but didn't actually walk around to check. You basically order your foods in the line, and go back up to pick it up. Not what we expected at all. Anyway, the foods were about the same as the original location. I ordered 2 Kimbop varieties (Bulgogi and Fire Tuna), 1 Bao Bun (Fire Chicken), and 1 Kimchi Pork Taco. I didn't take any pictures of my friends' foods, but think she tried 3 different Bao Buns, and Fries...all looked good. I personally enjoyed all of my foods...especially for the friendly pricing. I also enjoyed their Lychee Martini...enough to have 2! Overall, we enjoyed our casual "food hall" dining here...with good K-Pop music overhead (and videos...a mix of sports and K-Pop). Guess the thing I didn't like were all these kids running around (even at 7 pm?), and riding these kiddie carts (??). I guess they wanted more family members to come to this place. So...again, not exactly a hipster vibe here. Honestly, not sure which place is more my vibe...this or the other. Actually neither. Guess I prefer a nicer restaurant or a calmer, hipster vibe. Still, I enjoyed the Korean-Southern American fusion, street food menu here...and glad I checked it out. Wouldn't mind returning, especially for lunch.

I only like the soy garlic wings. I've been for a few karaoke parties and it was good. The service was amazing! I like the vibe of the place for both kids and adults. I do get a little confused with how to order. That isn't as clear as I would like it to be. Otherwise, I don't know if I would visit for just the food. It is Korean style chicken. The fun in the karaoke rooms were amazing!

The wings looked great but we'd already had a smorgasbord from the Urban District Food Hall. Instead, this was a stop for a drink and a pleasant time watching people. A very nice selection of beers on tap and the "Korean Donkey" with honey and ginger was a treat. Nice open space and on a warm day with the "garage doors" open, it was pleasant. This is a great spot for food and drink or a meetup! [Review 2102 of 2024 - 3771 in North Carolina - 23121 overall]

This was my second time going to Seoul Food Meat Company - but it was my first time at the NoDa location. I didn't have anything to eat or drink during this visit, so I can't speak to that. But I can tell you that I had fun. They have private karaoke rooms and that's exactly what we did. We sang our hearts out to a decent selection of songs. I love that you can also find song on YouTube with the lyrics to sing in the rooms. Service was great. We had staff checking on us to see if we needed to order anything throughout our reservation.

Had kimchi fries (great), fire chicken (good -- tender for thighs, but no "fire", so could be better), fire chicken bao (okay) and kim chili ramen mac (good). Second time here. This place seems like a fast casual restaurant so in that sense it is priced a little high, but still fairly reasonable. Presentation is minimalist, as is service. Good K-Pop videos add some ambiance. Decent draft beer selection.

This one is foodie destination worthy! It all hits. And it's worth noting the whole neighborhood is food and drink paradise. We stopped by on a Saturday and tried the tofu, chicken tacos, wings, Ram Mac, fries, and the Kim pap. We had a lot of leftovers. It was all delicious. The wings really stood out to me, I love that Korean fried style and the soy garlic sauce was great. They're big and filling! The tofu was solid. My wife preferred the chicken tacos. Ram mac is like Mac cheese on top of ramen...yep. The fries were really tasty with the chicken. And Kim par bulgogi was a lot like a delicious beef sushi. We'll visit this place often now!

This was my first time at the NODA location. The vibe and service are far more casual than the Southend spot. Here, they have counter service and pick-up, a huge indoor space, and really great outdoor seating that's shared with a few other spots. We had the BAF wings- naked, sweet and mild, and spicy BBQ, the green tea cornbread, and the doenjang collard greens. The wings get a chef's kiss, especially the sweet and mild. The cornbread? Good cornbread can be cake-like or bread-like. This was neither. It was dense yet gooey and hard on the outside. The flavor was good but the textures were all confused. For the greens, I don't know what doenang is but it must not taste like much. The greens were bland. I'll do this restaurant again, but I'll be on the hunt for the good sides because I didn't find them this visit.
