Delicious. I got a purple rice and tofu bowl with everything on it, including a jammy egg. Celiacs be so excited when they find a dedicated GF restaurant to eat at. I tipped my bowl off with a gf cookie for dessert.

Very excited to find a dedicated GF Korean place and also fast food, especially with the glowing reviews. The food was great and I would recommend but the service was so poor. The girl serving us just seemed so annoyed when we walked in and was not happy serving us, wasn’t even late like they were close to closing. The food was great tho thoroughly enjoyed

All gluten free and lots of bowl options. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The pickled radish is delicious and the sauces and limeade were good too.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. We got the Southwest and a build-your-own. The GF fried chicken was awesome. As someone who is nervous to try these types of places because I like about a 2 max on a scale of 1 to 10 of spice, it was awesome. I joke that I prefer to eat my food not have it eat me. They obviously have spicy, but they gave me two sauces on the side: creamy siracha and ginger-carrot. Both were delicious, flavorful, and mild.
And the celiac in our family was delighted to see they have GF chocolate chip cookies.

Quick, easy, affordable, and customizable. It was fresh food and everyone in my group enjoyed their meals (Southwestern Bowl and Standard or Classic).

Everything was gluten free! So tasty, staff was knowledgeable and no opportunity for cross contamination!

Authentic flavor, quick, inexpensive and unapologetically delicious. The kimchi could be stronger, but I think I’d say that no matter how strong it is :)
Dedicated GF, so everything is safe.

My oldest son has EoE triggered by wheat and youngest has a wheat allergy. We got a chicken bowl with rice, noodles, carrots corn and cilantro and it was DELICIOUS! No reactions or belly aches. I read on here that it was a dedicated GF establishment and it did not disappoint. Would eat here again

The simple fact of being able to go into a place and order absolutely anything you want off of the menu is wonderful. The poke bowl was delicious with a jammy egg, and they had Rise Bakery cookies as well for purchase!

While in Washington DC in June 2024, I stopped by Seoul Spice, a 100% gluten-free Korean version of Chipotle. This isn't fine dining. There are no waiters. It's quick service.
As a Celiac, this is one spot I always visit while in DC and there are locations throughout the East Coast and Illinois.
I personally like the beef bulgogi, a thin, marinated beef for my protein choice.
I also like the japchae, a sweet potato glass noodle dish as my base, only because japchae usually contains gluten at other Korean restaurants because it contains soy sauce, which contains wheat, which contains gluten.
There are also prepackaged desserts, like cookies, available.
Service is quick and I always get my food to go. The food is in compostable containers.

It was not crowded at lunch time. Small area to spot on and eat inside. Food is great. 100% gluten free. Fresh and healthy. It’s a great place. Love their sauces. Feel safe eating here. I like the southwest.
Dedicated GF
Love this place! I wish there was one closer to where I live. The food is so good and the entire place is GF. If you can, go here!

This was a great place to go to eat while in DC. I felt safe with the options. The flavor was pretty good. It wasn’t the best Korean place I’ve been to but it was good. I didn’t have any reaction. We have a mix of Celiac and non-celiac in our family and all were satisfied. The portion size was good also. Staff was nice and super helpful.
Dedicated GF
So fresh and flavorful! Dedicated Gluten-free facility.

100% GF food was fresh and tasted good.

Tasty Korean inspired bowls. Everything is GF, and they have good vegetarian/vegan options. About a 10 minute walk from the mall (starting from the National Art Gallery), very close to National Portrait Gallery. Fast casual and reasonably priced.

Wow. Delicious, wholesome food. It’s so nice to order anything on the menu and know it’s celiac safe! Highly recommend both the chicken and the beef.

Dude! This place was awesome. Underwhelming when you walk in but the food is great. Staff was great. Flavor was excellent
Dedicated GF
Adventured to this spot for a quick dinner while traveling for work. The staff were very knowledgeable and reassuring of everything gluten free. I did a create your own bowl with the noodles, bulgogi, sesame kale, corn, “the egg”, and creamy sriracha. The meal was flavorful but portion was maybe a bit small for the price. Nevertheless, it was tasty and safe. I did not get sick and will definitely be returning.
Dedicated GF
Amazing food! The Seoul Train bowl had such wonderful flavors. I honestly might eat this every day that I’m here.

Delicious fresh bowls
Edit update - pretty certain 2 of our party got severe food poisoning after visiting here within a few hours. I guess thats the risk with pre prepared meat / salad bowl…
Dedicated GF
We are there twice during our stay in DC. The food was tasty and the staff were excellent. Dedicated gluten free.

Delicious! Was so excited to have bulgogi again and it did not disappoint
Dedicated GF
Good fast casual food. I’ve eaten here multiple times and liked it. Not stunning but gets the job done.
Dedicated GF
I was very excited for this place since all gf and I have loved similar bowl places. I wanted to like this but the flavors were just subpar. It was safe but not tasty and I could not finish my meal due to that.

Reviews of this Chain
It is terrific to walk into a restaurant and not need to ask any questions about how they handle gluten. It is 100% gluten free here! The food was great. We had bulgogi (beef), vegetables, rice noodles and sauce. The staff members were pleasant. The atmosphere was fast casual and relaxed.

I love Seoul Spice so much! Everything on the menu is delicious and with so many toppings and sauce options as well as base and proteins, there are numerous combos to build.
Bonus: they sell Rise Bakery chocolate chip cookies at the counter too. It makes my lunch time much happier.

I was so happy to find somewhere close by to eat while visiting the area. I highly recommend stopping by for food. Not only is it dedicated GF, but it is really tasty too! This is mostly a takeout place and only has one smaller table inside. I hope to be back to try something else!
