Seoul Street Cafe

Please, please, please go try them immediately!!!!!!! You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! I'm completely hooked and so happy that boise finally has GOOD Korean food!😍 I've gone 6 or 7 times in the month they've been open, and I will sing the praises of the Korean fried chicken to anyone who sits still long enough! Again, please, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this amazing Korean food! You'll thank me, I promise! Also, staff is the sweetest!

Stopped in today (a Sunday) & was greeted warmly & with a smile! The menu is easy to read & laid out nicely with a great selection of dishes. The kind of stuff we’ve been really missing here in downtown Boise. Prices are reasonable this spot for sure won’t bankrupt you on a date fellas! The family just opened this business & I was really happy with what I saw & tasted here! I’ll absolutely be back in for their Ramen! Seoul Street Cafe made an excellent first impression on me!

Seoul Street Cafe is honestly my favorite spot to drop in for a quick bite. The environment is so content and calming, and the service there is out of this world! I’m not even lying when I tell you this is the BEST place to get Boba, the flavors are so tasty, refreshing, and overall heavenly. The food is super appetizing also, I especially advise you to try their savory Bulgogi & sweet Kimbap roll! We always leave stuffed and happy, will never stop recommending this place to people!

OVERVIEW: The first thing I thought about this place was just how fun the atmosphere was and how inviting it felt. And then I tasted the food. Transcendent. I was transported beyond Boise's good but typical fare into the deeper authentic experience I had last found in Seattle International District. The food elevates a welcoming cafe to a true culinary experience with masterful executions on Korean street food delivered by excellent service. This is the kind of restaurant Boise needs more of! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

ATMOSPHERE: K-pop sets the backdrop to a beautiful, modern aesthetic foreground. The tables were all clean. The whole place could simply be described as "bright," but as a full affect, rather than just literal high light levels (it's bright but natural light mostly). The energy just feels fun and open while maintaining accessibility for those less initiated in Korean street food.

FOOD: I love that the menu remains true to the roots of the dishes and doesn't Americanize form (placing on rice or putting it in a cup or taco) or flavors (aside from shaving some scoville off). I also appreciate the menu feels quite clear on what things are. While I've had a decent amount and various takes on Korean food, I definitely couldn't order by name alone and know what I was getting. As for quality and flavor: Outstanding. Not a single bite was lacking crisp where it should be or chewy where chewy should be. As for flavor, undeniably excellent and indelible delectable.

SERVICE: Fast, friendly, caring. As a kid, I remember going to friends' houses, whose parents made dishes that transported me to different places with exciting new flavors and foods I had never experienced before. One thing all these experiences had in common was the pride in hospitality and the pride on delivery. It was a moment I got to share in a culture beyond my own and see a glimpse into their world. This is the service I received here... right down to the gentleman clearing my plate. It was like we were eating at his table this evening.

This place is a real treat! I love Korean food and the authenticity and quality of their food and boba/drinks are really good! Finally, I don't have to wait to visit LA or any big cities to have really good Korean food! I'm so happy for this new Gem in Boise! 💯

Authentic! Definitely give these guys a try. Won't be disappointed at all. Great flavors and quality ingredients. Just like the food I had in Korea! Their Boba is better than other shops in town too.

If I could rate Seoul Street Cafe any higher, I would. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile and a hello. We were unfamiliar with the menu as it was our first time in and the owner walked us through what we may like according to our preferences. We did the combo meal with the Kimbap Roll, Fried Spicy K Chicken, Joomukbap, and Fried Dumplings. Everything was beyond delicious and the K-Chicken was not overpoweringly spicy. Just the right amount of heat and flavor with gochujang. The Thai Tea is delicious and the restaurant was meticulously clean. We will be back very very soon. Highly recommend trying out Seoul Street Cafe if you are looking to try some new items!

So much nedded in Downtown Boise. Delicious food, EVERYTHING I have ordered has been delicious. Excellent service, super friendly staff. Catering available.

My boyfriend and I have been coming here and we love it' James and his family and staff have always been so welcoming and generous. The food is tasty and I love trying their new drinks, the Hong Kong tea being one of my faves. The photo booth is also super cute and fun, I love having a little souvenir to remember my fun trips there. Will always come back to see them!

Want authentic Korean street food? You come here! Today, we ordered two combo meals - 1. Bulgogi Kimbop + Tteokbbokki and 2. Kimchi Kimbop + Japchae. All tasted great! Very well prepared. I wish I live in Downtown Boise so I can come here everyday!

AMAZING food - whether you’re stopping by for a mid-day snack, or a big meal after a long day’s work, Seoul St. Cafe hits the spot every time; and they never miss their mark. I LOVE the Korean Fried Chicken and their in-house made teas are good too! 10/10 recommend.

The food is so good! We enjoyed their food that tatsed like authentic korean food. Come down to Boise Downtown by Capitol and you won't miss it! Love the korean vibes.

A cute place with a lot of homemade combos! Staff are very friendly! Definitely will be back!

I’m Korean. I had a lunch today with tokboky, Odeng, rice with bulgogy, rice with spicy pork. Everything tastes really good as real Korean food. Excited that I can have a real Korean food in Boise.

AMAZING food and excellent staff/customer service. This has become a new favorite for my partner and i. Can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

Damn delicious. Best fried chicken I’ve ever had 10/10 recommend!!

This place is amazing!! The staff were unbelievably kind and friendly! The best Korean food I’ve had in Boise. They also have a photo-booth that was so much fun to use after we ate. This is our new spot!

Good food, super friendly staff/management, and a convenient location. Their bulgogi and tteokbokki stand out in particular in my opinion. The relatively early closing time isn’t the most convenient to me, but that’s really my only minor gripe.

Everything was delicious! Each picture has description of what they are off the menu.

Stopped in for a snack and some boba this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised! Easily the best boba I've had in the treasure valley with some tasty korean food as well. Will definitely come back again for a full meal. As a plus, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.
