Cold Korean noodles with broth and beef
We've gathered our most popular, distinctive dishes that make Seoul House not just a restaurant, but a truly authentic experience. If you haven't tried them yet, now is the time.
Seoul House is the kind of place where a soup can remind you of a South Korean grandmother as much as a Sunday restaurant lunch in Seoul. Our chef - who has been running the kitchen since 1990 - doesn't "reinvent" the food, but preserves it with dignified reverence. We don't follow trends, but tradition: because we believe that timeless flavours always find their way back to those who seek the real thing.
A classic bibimbap, for example, is not just a bowl of rice and vegetables - it's a manifestation of a health-conscious cultural philosophy. Fermented vegetables serve both pleasure and digestion. It is this complex yet pure flavour that makes Korean food so special in the world's gastronomy.
In Korean culture, eating is much more than a daily routine - it is a communal ritual. The communal table is a space for family, friends and community, where food is not served in individual portions, but shared and available to all.
At Seoul House, it's not just the flavours that come from Korea, it's the atmosphere.
The grill here is not the chef's tool - it's yours. You cook your food yourself, in the middle of your table. So you can enjoy the experience of cooking together without smoke!
The meat sizzles, the spices smell, the conversations deepen. The grill is not in a hurry - here, every bite is a social experience.
Our chef prepares the meat exactly as he did for the first guest on the opening day in 1990. This is the secret of Seoul House. Not the spice mix - the signature.
We source all our ingredients from selected sources - with 35 years of experience - and we make our marinades locally, using our own recipes.
We are waiting for you in the heart of the Buda side, where Korean gastronomy will transport you to Seoul in a flash.
Seoul is not just a restaurant for me. It feels like home - not because I've lived in Budapest for 30 years, but because it evokes the Korea I carry in my heart in every taste and detail.

Since the opening of Seoul House - more than three decades now - the same chef has been running our kitchen: not just cooking, but telling stories through flavours.
Our chef brought with him the flavours of his childhood: the warmth of the family table, fresh vegetables bought at the market, the smell of festive dinners. He combines these memories in every dish - not recipes, but traditions handed down through generations.
It does not consciously change - it does not adapt Korean tastes to local customs. Instead, he brings you what comes naturally. That's why we are like a little piece of Korea: authentic, warm-hearted and real.
