“I ordered the Pork platter set (240 Dhs) which was meant for 2-3 pax. Meats came unseasoned but with good variety of sauces and condiments. However you'd have to ask for sesame oil separately which is surprisingly not included among the usual sauces. Quality of meats is good though portion is a little small.”

Separate sauce. Ask for sauces on the side, especially if you are sensitive to heat; one reviewer found some sauces extremely spicy.
Request sesame. If you want sesame oil with a pork platter, ask for it separately because one reviewer said it was not included.
Ask last call. Check the final food-order time when you arrive so you are not caught out if you want to add another dish later.
Book ahead. Consider calling ahead for a busy evening; one weekday group found the restaurant nearly full.
Expect smoke. Wear something you do not mind smelling of grilled food, since tables lack overhead exhaust hoods.

Table grilling can leave the room hot and smoky, with food aromas lingering on diners and clothes.
One diner felt the meat quality and overall value did not match the price, especially compared with premium BBQ.
The BBQ uses a gas stovetop rather than charcoal, and diners cook and cut the meat themselves.
One group was disappointed that the final food-order time was not announced early enough.
One reviewer reported finding a worm in a dish and described the service attitude negatively.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

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.
