Seoul Sausage Co.

Entrance

Fresh off of their win on TheGreat Food Truck Race on the Food Network, the Seoul Sausage Co. recently opened up a brick and mortar restaurant.  Although packed to the rafters when they first opened to great fanfare and mostly great reviews, things have somewhat quieted down some.

Menu

Although The Great Food Truck Race gave the impression that teams were recently thrown together for the show, the Seoul Sausage Co. has been together since 2010.  Having had a couple of years to perfect their recipes and garnered a fairly big and loyal following through catering and different food events, the Seoul Sausage Co. boys have been around the block once or twice.

The Flaming Rice Balls have a Korean flair with kimchee, small bits of beef and served with a side of DMZ sauce on the side.  The rice balls are cooked to a golden crisp.

The Lil ‘Osaka Rice Balls have a curry flavor to them, and just somehow seems to miss the mark.

The Galbi Sausage is a mix of Korean flavors are rolled into a sandwich.  The sausage is made with Galbi, marinated beef, ground up and stuffed into a sausage.  The galbi has a surprising light texture, and seems to be lacking any substance.  It is almost like “eating air”.  Topped with kimchee relish and garlic jalapeno aioli, the accompaniments slightly overpower the subtleness of the galbi sausage.

The Da KFC is a take on Korean fried chicken.  The chicken is cut up into small pieces, breaded in cornmeal and probably fried twice in order to get that real crunch.  The chicken is tossed with Siracha which gives it a slightly spicy and slightly sweet flavor.  Being cut up into small pieces, the chicken is a little dry.  It is served with a side of cornbread, which is rather unispiring.

I am glad to have tried their food, but given the amount of food for the price, I would not hurry back.
