I’ve been to multiple locations based on various places I’ve lived in the DMV area, and each one has been great. I came here when I needed a last minute dinner, and just like all the other locations, the employees are chill, the food is fresh and delicious, and there are plenty of options from the build your own bowl, ordering ones they already have on their menu, or even their version of a burrito made with seaweed instead of a tortilla. A big plus for me is that everything is gluten free. As some with celiac disease, and has very violent and severe reactions from the smallest amount of cross contamination, places like SEOULSPICE is a gem. I’ve only been able to find locations in the DMV area, so I certainly don’t take it for granted. It is far more safe for me to eat here, and if you like the build your own bowl experience and are willing to try something new, I’d say it is significantly better than Chipotle. If you are vegetarian, I would ask questions about how they prepare their tofu (whether or not it is prepared separately from the meat protein options). They have 7 veggie options (you can choose as many as you want) but I would check their online menu to make sure you like the options they have. They also have toppings that are all vegetarian, and they have add-ons, one of which is avocado if you like it or want an add-on. There are more options with drinks and even individually packaged gluten free cookies (at least at all the locations I’ve been to) It’s safe to say this is my go-to.

To preface, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease close to 20 years ago when I was 5 years old. I'm used to my options being limited or nonexistent when I go out to eat with friends, especially when it comes to Korean food. (Curse you soy sauce!!!) Also to preface, my friends and I were in town for the StrayKids concert yesterday. The entire day of the concert, all I'd had to eat was a packet of microwave 90 second rice, and a couple protein bars that I had packed ahead of time in my suitcase just in case. Needless to say, I was starving and in desperate need of some good food when we got going this morning. A search entry for "gf food near me" in Google maps popped up with a few options near the hotel we were staying at including SeoulSpice. When I saw it was Korean food I was expecting maybe a couple things that could be modified to make them somewhat safe. Boy was I wrong. 😆 When I tell you I audibly gasped and startled my friends when I saw the words, "100% Gluten Free" on the website, I'm not lying. And the food? Did NOT disappoint. 🙌 I got a little bit of basically everything in my bowl and Debbie piled it so high the lid barely fit on the take out container. And its not just the portion sizes about SeoulSpice that are incredibly large, their hearts are too. When I told Debbie how long I'd been gluten free, and that I was unaccustomed to having options out and about so was very overwhelmed, she walked me through every ingredient and option behind the counter and offered suggestions about some of her favorite combos, too. Also! Because we were the only ones there (we got there right when they opened) Debbie let me try each of the sauces so I could make a more informed decision for my bowl topping and pointed out when I was checking out that there were also Gluten-free cookies like chocolate chip and red velvet (which was so good by the way). The only thing I would say needs improvement is the door is incredibly heavy. 🤣 Careful not to throw your back out trying to get in the door to reach the food that tastes like the mana of the gods and kind, understanding faces like Debbie that reside within. The breakdown! The prices: 10/10 -Reasonable and affordable The food: 100/10 -Huge portions and Delicious! The people: 1000/10 -Incredibly kind and helpful Thank you, for the delicious food and for helping me feel accepted for who I was and what I live and struggle with everyday. Basically... Thank you for helping me feel normal, Debbie and the SeoulSpice crew. When I'm back in town this way be assured I will come back as frequently as I can during my stay . I hope y'all have a nice day! And I hope everyone who reads this gives them a try. They're worth it.😊

This is a really neat place. Came with a group of people of very diverse dietary needs and tastes during lunch and everyone got something they loved, those who eat vegan, those who do gluten-free and those who are dairy-free, and it was all tasty. Great noodles and sauces. Plus the people who run the place had a good attitude and simply aimed to serve us. Great choice if you want fresh and custom!

Came to chow down here with my friend. We randomly decided to meet up here and I'm glad we did! I walked in and was welcomed by their workers. They have an interesting way for you to order your food. You can choose from 3 types of bases (rice, noodles, or gluten free). These are reflected by the 3 different pieces of paper you order from. From there you choose your additional toppings like assorted veggies, proteins, sauces, and anything extra. Then you hand them your paper and they grab everything you ordered together. Since this was our first time, we had lots of questions on what tastes good, what doesn't and how things looked. They were super nice and patient with us. They gave us very good recommendations I ordered the spicy chicken protein with udon noodles and some additional toppings. This was delicious so if you're looking for something good, try the udon noodles and spicy chicken! I've heard the bulgogi was good too. Also a chill ambiance to eat at if you'd like to. Would 100% recommend!

Love this place!!! You fill out a sheet with what you want. The yellow sheets are for noodles, the white sheets are for rice. You can customize your bowl or choose a “signature” bowl. They even have a gluten free menu! Quick and friendly service! Delicious, healthy food! Fresh veggies, multiple different rice types, and noodles! What more could you ask for?

I had a delicious meal here this weekend. They have a gluten free menu and it is much more limited than their regular menu but there were still very tasty options. I had the winter salad, the kimchi jjigae and the 30 day kimchi side. It was delicious! I also enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Fun place!
