When I walked into the place, there was no other customers, but I was quite impressed with the quality and quantity of food. It was very delicious.

The flavors are there, but the food was served lukewarm which is always disturbing especially when eating chicken. It's great for the Cal student cramming for an exam, but if Chipotle can consistently serve hot food, I'm sure MS can too.It will remain on my list for now.BB

Just ordered something and eating it now. Definitely a bit disappointed... Mainly because the rice, which is the base for the dish is very overcooked and very mushy. What a shame. Also, the sauce is so light and lightly put on that it does nothing for the dish. For someone that enjoys bibimbap on a regular, unfortunately I can't say this is the best place. Maybe I'll try again in the future, but it's hard when you're spending so much money for their menu items... I guess I expect a lot more for the price point. The ambiance and environment is very well appreciated though. And also the customer service.Update: I tried to eat through it since I'm hungry and need to eat food but now I'm just upset about it lol. Going further into the dish, some parts are very inconsistent such as the meat being salty in certain bites, just not satisfied at all. I'll have to bring this down to 1 star because I don't think I'll be coming back unfortunately. For a place that looks like such quality, I think they need to work a little harder on maintaining standards consistently. I'm reading reviews here that are very up and down.

How does this place have 4.5 stars on Yelp?! This has to be the biggest gap between expectations and reality that I've experienced in my decade plus on Yelp. I got the classic bowl. A healthy portion of meat, but everything else was disappointing -- the rice was gummy, the vegetables were tasteless and lacking variety, and the overall portion was small. I was expecting something approximating a bibimbap, and this was nothing like it. Hard pass.

Built my own bowl! Very good, the spicy gochujang sauce was also really yummy. I loved that there were a lot of topping options. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving some Korean food and need something quick and easy :)

They have lots of delicious ingredients and the concept is great, but there are no good vegetarian options. They'll serve you tofu that is drier than the surface of the moon.

Mediocre fast food. Missing authenticity, overly sweet, not spicy. Would not go

I'm doing some late night work and don't have time to cook tonight so I Door Dashed from this Korean place and got Spicy Pork and added a Soft Boiled Egg as an extra add on. The portions were generous and I got all of this for a little more than $25. It had plenty of veggie toppings and meat portions which were pretty tasty! I would've given this place 5 stars but it took a little longer than most places to prepare the food and get it to me and the food could've been a little warmer but overall a great go to place for a yummy Korean BBQ Bowl!

Dont need to go los angeles to get a korean bowl. Thats all i gotta say about this.
Mad Seoul has mad flavor.I built my own bowl with:Bulgogi (+ $1.50) Brown Rice Kimchi Mushrooms Broccoli Green Onions Cabbage Carrots Cucumber Romaine Lettuce I added sesame ginger sauce to my bowl and it was a filling, flavorsome lunch!I also ordered a spicy chicken taco for good measure and it delivered too. I'd happily get lunch from Mad Seoul again soon.

This place is pretty underwhelming. First of all, I ordered a bowl with a salad base, and got white rice instead. I didn't mind this too much, but the bowl was fairly small for what I paid for. Additionally, the broccoli was just large pieces of raw broccoli that had little flavor, and the chicken was so much sauce but very little meat.

We got a tofu bowl and a beef bowl. The tofu bowl needed more sauce. The beef was not fatty but it was really salty. Still, it offered more sauce to help the whole experience Clean and bright space. Nice service.
