The Bottom Line

LeSeoul is a Korean restaurant in Al Barsha, located on the ground floor of a hotel. It is worth considering if you want a meal that goes beyond standard ordering: diners can grill meats, vegetables and mushrooms at the table, or choose dishes such as Korean fried chicken, dak galbi, pork belly and kimchi stew. The reviews are strongest on the fried chicken, banchan and BBQ meats.

Side dishes are described as free-flow, with examples including kimchi, pickled zucchini, greens, radish and bean sprouts. Cheese Dak Galbi, LA Galbi and Pork Belly, and kimchi stew with belly pork all receive specific praise, although one reviewer found the kimchi soup only average. Service is usually described as friendly, fast and helpful, particularly when staff explain unfamiliar dishes.

There are practical quirks: BBQ uses a gas stovetop rather than charcoal, and you cook and cut the meat yourself. Prices are viewed as fair by some diners but high by others; one reported paying 240 Dhs for a pork platter set for two to three people and found the portion a little small. Ventilation is the main comfort issue, with smoke, heat and lingering grilled aromas mentioned repeatedly.

Hotel parking is free on the second and third basement levels; reservations are handled by phone.
