Little Seoul in Cambridge

Great comfort food, love supporting local businesses. Love this secret gem!

We came in as three moms with three kids, it’s a lot…but the service was fast and efficient, food was phenomenal, and we will definitely come back! Bravo!

I booked the table to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We were made very welcome by the staff. The menu is very comprehensive. The food is excellent and very flavourful. We had a wonderful time.

Rudest restaurant experience in very long. The plates and drinks were taken from our table before we even finished. A bill arrives immediately, without us asking for one and seconds later they came to charge us. I've never been kicked out of a place before... The food was pretty ok but relatively expensive for what we got. The restaurant is in the basement without natural light.

We visited Bury St Edmunds in the day and went across to Cambridge in the evening. We wanted to try Korean food as we had very nice Bibimbap somewhere else before. The restaurant is in the basement so can be easily missed. We ordered the dumplings and fried chicken wings as starters and then the dolsot bibimbap. The food came quickly and was hot. The dumpling was nice but there was too much batter on the chicken wings. The taste was not very nice. Bibimbap was ok. Was very hot but tasted quite bland. We were given some chilli sauce to go with it but that doesn't really add to the taste. They charged us service charge for not much service at all. Overall a bit disappointed, maybe because we had higher expectations after reading some reviews.

Love the Bulgogi, although the entrance is a bit confusing.

Went here for dinner after reading decent reviews, it was soooooooo good! We got a few different dishes including dukpoki, assorted kimchi, spicy pork noodles, bulgogi and it was all delicious. Served quickly and staff were helpful. Will definitely come back :)

lovely food, i would recommend the kimchi fried rice! also, big portions for a small price.

Got the bibimbap and it was delicious and came quickly too and was cheap too The staff were sweet as well

Good.. Stir-fried pork is a real treat… I will go again if I feel like Korean food.

We came across this little gem after being let down by another Korean restaurant, and I'm glad we did! Service was polite, friendly and punctual but it's all about the food isn't it? We ordered tteokboki and dumplings for starters and for mains, chicken bulgogi, beef bulgogi and a generous bowl of noodles with spicy pork. Everything was cooked really well, extremely flavourful and carried a nice level of spice. For the price we paid for our meal, it was more than fair. It definitely cheered us up and top marks again to all the service staff and the kitchen. We will definitely be back! 😊

Lovely Korean food in Cambridge! Authentic!

Went to this restaurant with a freind and we weren’t sure what to expect , but the meals we ordered were delicious , quick and tasty. Plenty of of it for a lunch date and quick and very efficient service . A very nice experience.

Food, service and portion sizes all brilliant.

This restaurant is so cool, the food was affordable, the staff was helpful and spoke Korean and they were really authentic.

Amazing service, food and staff 💜

The food is amazing, not expensive and the everyone super friendly. I have been in Cambridge for over 5 years and this keeps being my ultimate favourite restaurant!

The business lunch was not bad, and the hot kimchi pot was really delicious on a rainy day. The restaurant space is not large and it is in the basement, so the lighting and ventilation are not that good.

Fantastic little restaurant. We were seated quickly and when ordered there was not a long wait for the food. The kimchi pancakes were very good, then had the beef bulgogi and the spicy pork noodles. Servings were generous and food tasty. Prices aren't terrible either Would definitely go again.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for those looking to quickly satisfy their hunger, as the food arrives almost at light speed - perfect for an empty stomach. However, while the service is remarkably fast, the taste of the food is average. The bibimbap deserves a special mention as it was served piping hot, which was a plus. The atmosphere is interesting; the staff cleared our table very swiftly after we finished eating, despite the restaurant not being crowded that night. This gave my friend and I the subtle hint that it was time to leave after paying the bill. Good for a quick meal, but perhaps not for a leisurely dining experience.

Popped downstairs into this small Korean restaurant in Regent Street, Cambridge, for a quick lunch on a busy Saturday. While they do have a cheap and brief, 'lunchtime menu', our selections were off the main . A small bowl of (pickled?) beansprouts seemed to be our only starter. I selected the grilled eel with rice and spinach - sides seemed to be extra here. I like trying new foods but...never again! It was like watery chewy plaice. My partner's beef bulgogi, on the other hand, was both tasty and tangy. With the exception of one lovely smiling lady, the service was rather dour, but efficient. Be warned there is an automatic service charge. They also lose points with us for not having a proper website. I don't care straing my eyes reading menu photos on Facebook. Would we go again? With the choice of eateries in this city, we doubt it.

Food all ways good and good prices

We were lucky to get a table for 5 on a busy Friday evening. The food and service were very good

Perpetration of food very quickly. The staff are amazing and helpful. The food is delicious, my girls love dumplings and rice cake soup a lot!! Surprisingly, it was quite quiet on Sunday lunch.

- it gives pressure on you when they're like monitoring you and tries to take away your plates the moment they think like you're Done eating , ofcourse after asking... They would say they're not putting pressure but it does gives pressure... - Food was great though - background music is nice and feels sad...

I had a dinner with friends at little Seoul and it was a good surprise! Service was really good and food came quickly! Starters were delicious (korean pancakes and pork dumplings) and the main was great! Good value for price! Definitely going back!

First time try this restaurant. Variety of menu selection. The taste is good. The restaurant is not quite big. Better to reserve. The mak gul li is very fresh. Love it.

It was so rainy outside and I came in drenched, however, our servers were lovely, especially Anna and Minhha. It was so cute and cosy. I would defo recommend if you want to go for a little date or an evening meal.

Found this cosy Korean restaurant on my way back to the station which can be easily missed, as the restaurant is actually located in the basement with a small signee entrance on the street. The space is a bit packed but the service is attentive. Wasn’t feeling too hungry so just ordered the japchae and soybean chige which is a rich soybean soup with seafood, tofu and vegetables. The japchae is very flavourful and it is definitely a good surprise, and in comparison the soybean soup is not as special with lots of cucumbers and spring onions instead of a wide range of vegetables as I previously expected.

foods and services were amazing and staff are also very friendly indeed. Definitely recommend this best Korean restaurant in cambridge. 食物和服务都很棒的韩国餐厅在剑桥

I was utterly disappointed to find out that the "Korean-style noodles with spicy pork" was made with the instant noodles "Shin Ramyun" as its base.... It should've been mentioned on the menu IN ENGLISH (have asked my Korean friend and they said it's indicated in Korean that it's instant noodles). As it's quite obvious that the cost of a pack of Shin Ramyun is way lower than what they charged at the restaurant, I can only leave one star for this dish...

Delicious food. The best Korean restaurant in Cambridge with quality and very friendly and helpful staff.

We were here for an evening out. The place is clean and staff members are very polite and attentive. However I must admit that the place is very bare and lacks atmosphere. The food was good but not memorable. Super quick though!!

Food is amazing. Best Korean in Cambridge. Always get vegetarian bibimbap. Spicy or honey rice cakes are good, but for the price they cost they could afford to put in extra rice cakes. Always served with side dishes which taste good. Overall, really recomend Little Seoul! 👌🏻

The best kimchi jigae I’ve ever had in Cambridge. Bimbimbap and bulgogi are delicious as well. Fair price and staffs are very friendly. I would go there again for kimchi jigae 😋

Tasty Korean dishes and very friendly staffs. The dishes are served very fast.

Good food in a reasonable price

This place is easy to miss. It’s at the corner of Regent Street in Cambridge and there are steps down to a basement that lead to the restaurant. Service was swift and friendly, so this is good for work lunch when you have limited time. Bibimbap was delicious and other dishes were tasty and well presented. Great for lunch or dinner. Will definitely return.

Having never eaten Korean food before we decided to give it a try whilst working around Cambridge. The food was incredible, it was amazing value and the staff were extremely friendly and caring. I would 100% recommend and I will definitely be back when I’m anywhere close to Cambridge!

Such a charming little restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely delicious. Will definitely be coming back.

I waited till 6pm to eat here hoping it might be better than the nearby Chinese restaurants. I regretted my choice, it’s not the best Korean food I’ve had

Always great food when i eat here. Great portions. Great staff

This has got to rank as the mankiest, crap restaurant I've ever visited in my entire life. Noodles with baked beans, dried noodles.

급한식이 땡겨서 찾아간곳이었는데, 직원분들 친절하시고 김치찌개도 맛있었습니다

The restaurant has a very cozy vibe. Could sit there all day. The staff was very kind and made us feel at home. They have a great menu with a selection of Korean food and beverages. The food arrived quickly and was probably one of the tastiest Korean meals I’ve had in a while. I would definitely recommend stopping by here.

The food is lovely- you get great portions for the price (skip a meal if you want pudding), it's relatively healthy and vegetarian options are available for most dishes. The staff are friendly, and food is delivered quickly. Only downside is the low ceilings.

Underrated and inconspicuous place. I was introduced to this by a Korean friend. This is the best Korean place I've been to in Cambridge, although that is admittedly a very low bar. This place is run by Koreans, and the food is actually decent! Some of its chicken was sweeter than expected, possibly to make it more acceptable to the British palate, and you probably can't go wrong with whatever you're getting

always a favourite, the tteatboki and tempura prawns are a MUST

Lovely atmosphere, and delicious Korean food in the heart of Cambridge! Strongly recommend!

Had the best Bibimbap here, top level service by the staff. Had a great experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Phoned at 7pm and told last orders at 8.45pm - arrived at 8.30pm to be told the kitchen was closed. They refused to apologise for the misinformation :( Extremely disappointed!

Excelent food, excelent service

The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Little Seoul is housed in the basement of a building, insulating its diners from the noise of the cars on the busy main road it sits besides. The waitress was lovely: very polite, patient and attentive. While we waited for our order, she brought us a complimentary egg roll and tofu in soy sauce. We started with some sweet chilli fried chicken - gorgeous meat, thick breaded exterior, and leaning more on the side of chilli and less on sweet. We also enjoyed the seafood and tofu soup with rice - a decidedly fishy flavour, tempered by the neutrality of the tofu. A bim bam bop of assorted goodies including meat (beef?) pieces and a fried egg came with a miso soup. Lastly for mains, we had a sizzling plate of rib meat with the most wonderful fried onions I've ever enjoyed. Dessert was a red bean sorbet: an assortment of fruit, red beans and condensed milk upon shaved ice. I particularly liked receiving my Diet Coke in a glass bottle (it just always tastes better!). Together with a second drink and gratuity, the total was £55.55. The only thing preventing me from choosing 5* is the lack of natural light, and the slightly more spicy than sweet profile of the chicken.

We were in the mood for some Korean food the other night and decided to try this restaurant in Cambridge. The restaurant is located in a busy road and the nearest parking is less than 10min walk. No booking was needed, we just walked in. The front of the house was friendly and directed us to our table. The waitress was also friendly and our order was taken quickly. The food was ready quickly and didn’t have to wait too long. The food was ok but nothing to be excited about. The best dish was the chicken wings and the pork dumplings. It was finger licking good! Portions were decent and we left the place feeling full. The bill was ok, not very expensive for what we had. If you believe this review has been helpful for you, please don’t forget to press the 👍 button. Thank you.

Tasty kimchi fried rice. Will definitely come back.

I hadn't been here for a couple of years. Still as tasty and original as ever!!

Delicious food, they also prepare most meals on the menu as vegetarian versions (with tofu). Really friendly and attentive waitress too! Worth checking out for authentic Korean cuisine!

We went to Little Seoul for our wedding anniversary. We were a party of 7. The food was amazing and the staff were so helpful and friendly and attentive . The trainees were great too. Can't wait to go back .감사합니다

The food is delicious and their sweet cinnamon punch is amazing

This is a great restaurant a little out of the way. The food is authentic and the staff are very friendly.

I lived in Korea for 2 years and this is undoubtedly the best Korean food that I’ve ever had outside of Korea.

Visited today and it was absolutely delicious! Food is outstanding with excellent portion sizes. The environment is very low-key and relaxed. Will definitely go again!!

My friend and I were visiting Cambridge and went for dinner. The food was truly delicious and incredibly generous portions too. Staff were very friendly, warm and helpful. Well worth a visit!

Fantastic food and service. All reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Small area but very friendly and warm atmosphere, the food is also delicious, just the right amount to select from on the menu.

Had the radish kimchi, trio of namul, bugolgi , japchae, mandu. Nice to have again as Korean food is hard to find

Little Seoul is a really good restaurant to go with your friends and family, it’s well decorated and super comfy. All the staff was nice and friendly, always with a smile on their faces and really helpful. The 2 waitresses, hanna and the other girl were amazing with us and they tried to makes us feel more comfortable and aware of all the important stuff. Now the desired part, FOOD! was AMAZING, really delicious, I enjoyed the Kimchi fried rice so i will come back for more. -Beatriz

I haven’t been to this place for years, as I moved to Japan, where, surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Korean restaurants serving food as good as the food I had in Cambridge, at Little Seoul. I’m coming back to Cambridge, soon, and I’m hoping this place is as good as it was. I’m very much looking forward to a Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and some Crispy Chilli Chicken Wings. The portions were always fair, service was polite, and the food was delicious. I can’t wait.

I have had my eye on Little Seoul for a while but have never had the chance to get there. My wife and i attended on a dreary day in Cambridge and were impressed! The food was really tasty and the staff friendly and helpful. Good quality for good value. Will definitely come back

The bulgogi was soooo dry and the only taste that I could get out of the grilled eel was sweet. Won't go back.

I could eat here EVERYDAY!!! The food is amazing and the service is unmatched!! I've eaten here 5 times since June and the food gets better and better every time. Kimchi - PERFECT! Bulgogi - PERFECT!! Budae jigae - PERFECT!! I lived in Seoul for 3 years and this food takes me back there instantly 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I would strongly recommend you cancel tonight's dinner plans and eat here!!

Friendly and kind staff ... We ate very well, all delicious. We will definitely be back. A very welcoming place

Comfort food. My husband and I ordered their lunch menu after church on Sunday. Service was quick, attentive and they offered free banchan. Very fuss free lunch, will return

Amazing food with big portions for the price. Staff is really nice and friendly, highly recommend!

I liked the food and service, recommend 👍🏻 The food tasted very good and the service was at high standard they even gave me 2 small chocolate when I paid the bill 😻 appreciate it 💕

a little hard to find, tucked away on a street of oriental restaurants decor was decent, food however was awful, my seafood noodle has 3 seafood sticks 1 prawn, the odd tiny mussel - seafood sticks are a sure sign a restaurant is stingy on their ingredients service was admirably quick and the meal was not expensive, but I would happily have paid more for some quality seafood

The sweet chilli chicken is the best fried chicken I've ever eaten.

Don't live in Cambridge but every time we've visited we've been here! The kimchi fried rice and soups never miss 💞

Fantastic service, great food, super reasonable prices.

Great food, very quick, very good service, and very reasonably priced, ~£20 a head for starters, mains & alcoholic drinks.

The honey citron tea is unlike any other, but relatively speaking, the food is average for Korean food.

My wife has become hooked on Korean "soaps" on Netflix, which seem to major heavily on food, so she insisted that we try a Korean meal. It was with some trepidation that I ventured down the steps to this subterranean restaurant, but it turned into a wonderful evening. We were shown to our table and our waiter showed extreme patience in explaining the various dishes. We decided to order two appetisers (Dukpokgi and Seafood Pancake) and two rice dishes (Dulsot Bibimbab and Kimchi Fried Rice). We loved all of them, although we had probably over ordered and maybe should have had just the one appetiser. Interestingly, there was some time between the arrivals of the appetisers and, additionally, the two rice dishes also arrived before we had finished the appetisers. But this didn't detract from the experience. There is a very limited choice of wines, so we plumped for the house red, very reasonably priced at £15.90. Despite the generously sized portions, we were able to finish everything and even found room for ice cream afterwards. We will certainly make a return visit, and soon!

Great food, very nice and quick service. Very reasonably priced! Went there just after easing of restrictions in May 2021 and they used hand sanitisers and checked my temperature which made me more at ease.

Beef spare ribs are the best! Pancakes, dumpling soup, and anything with kimchee!

Varied menu, delicious food, fresh produce, friendly staff. Decor could be improved but who cares when the food is that good!

Cheap and cheerful. Yummy chicken wings

Drove an hour to get there to find out it was closed. Wish their opening times are updated.

My sister and I discovered this place like a month ago and lemme just say: WE LOVED IT. We were craving korean food and we found this place in the main street. The staff is so so so nice, they helped us finding vegetarian options and their service was incredible fast. The food was amazing, so tasty and delicious. We loved hearing kpop in the background, it brought us memories from our last trip to Seoul. We really recommend this restaurant, 10/10, we cannot wait to go back!

We went for lunch, and the food and service were both excellent. Probably the nicest bulgogi I’ve had! COVID measures were also very thorough.

Delicious food, excellent service. The staff are so lovely. My friend and I are BTS Army. We went to Little Seoul for Jimin's birthday and the very lovely staff played some BTS songs for us and helped us with a poster of Jimin. Had an amazing time. Such kind staff 💜

Really excellent service and meal thanks

Great food and attentive staff, definitely recommend a visit

Nice food, chicken wings are delish, lunch menu is a bit limited, needs to offer more choice. Good range of speciality drinks. Attentive staff.

The staff here were so welcoming and created a nice environment by chatting to us, food tasted amazing as well<3 I recommend the spicy pork with noodles! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, since it was just my group of friends they took song requests to play which was such a good bonus! I don't usually do trip advisor reviews, but I just had to for this restaurant! Will definitely come here again!!

Absolutely awesome food, great service and reasonably priced. 100% recommend.

Highly recommend the dolsot bibimbap and the kimchi pancakes!

Very Good restaurant, real tasty Korean food, great atmosphere, kind and helpful staff - we had great evening and recommend this place with all my heart 😁😁😁

I have been many times with a friend & service is always fantastic and food is amazing. It's one of our favourite places to eat in Cambridge, especially when I start to crave tteokbokki!

Lovely chicken soup and service 😊
