SEOUL SISTA in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Love this place, the beef ribs and korean fried chicken are my favorite

we were a table of 6 and had the best time, the atmosphere was nice and food was delicious and came quickly. our waiter - 21 (that’s how his name is pronounced haha) was wonderful!! give him a raise now !

A reservation seems necessary, especially on weekends. After being seated, you're asked to order via QR code without any prior notice. You enter your name on a website and can then order your desired food and drinks – even in multiple rounds. The selection is promising, and the food tastes good. The items arrived quickly, but were incomplete, so we had to point this out. The concept itself is fine and understandable, but it results in less interaction between the waiter and guests, which I find extremely disappointing.

If you want to eat a delicious Korean barbecue, you can stop by. You can choose from an unlimited menu or pay only for what you choose.

Very tasty food, definitely recommended

Great place to relax and be busy while you enjoy a night out with friends or family.

Here’s a polished review you could post: Had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall vibe of the place was fantastic. I also really appreciated the wide range of halal food options available. A special shoutout to Zoë and Aman, who made our visit even more memorable. Zoë was incredibly friendly and helpful, and she even put on a song we requested, which added such a personal touch to the experience. Aman was also so kind and welcoming. He spent some time chatting with us and mentioned that we reminded him of his daughters, which was genuinely sweet and heartwarming. It’s rare to find a place with great food, a great atmosphere, and such wonderful staff all in one. We left with smiles on our faces and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! Music was peak in general even without the requested ones. I gave a whole concert to my friends.

I have not ordered yet, but they play mumble rap, if the food is good they won't get 1 star ......

Seoul Sista is a vibrant and modern spot that captures exactly the kind of energy you would expect from a good Korean BBQ experience. Lively atmosphere, shared grilling at the table and a dynamic environment make it a very enjoyable place for a dinner with friends or a casual night out in Amsterdam. The food is flavorful and satisfying, with good quality meat and a nice variety of options throughout the menu. The Korean BBQ experience itself is fun and engaging, especially when shared with a group. Presentation is well done and the overall quality of the dishes is consistently solid. The atmosphere is one of the restaurant’s strongest points: modern, energetic and welcoming without becoming overwhelming. Even when busy, the place keeps a pleasant balance between movement and comfort. Service is efficient and generally attentive, especially considering the fast pace of the restaurant.

Korean-style grilling is simply fun. We had a lovely evening. It's something you have to try at least once.

Absolutely great! Went as a party of 2, food came quickly after ut was ordered every 10 minutes, things like fried foods took longer as they were made fresh, but ALWAYS arrived and didnt have to ask twice. Servers were very kind and attentive, constantly made sure to clean away empty dishes. Food was great, the small servings didn't mind me and my boyfriend as we loved trying all the different dishes. Will visit again!

I was already familiar with Seoul Sista from Rotterdam, where I’ve been several times, so I was happy to test out the Amsterdam location as well. Almost all the meat is halal, which is a real plus for me. The dishes (meat and fish) are served super fast, ideal if you don't want to wait too long. There is also a wide selection on the menu, so there is something for everyone. And the location is very central in Amsterdam, which makes it extra convenient. In my opinion, this remains a top spot if you are in the mood for Korean BBQ🍗.

Fantastic discovery! Everything was top-notch: the welcome, the service, the food. A must-try, truly excellent.

I recently ate at Seoul Sista and the experience was fantastic. The concept is really cool: you grill your own meat right at your table, which makes the meal much more interactive and convivial. It's perfect for sharing a moment with friends or in a group. There's a wide selection, whether you choose the all-you-can-eat option or order à la carte, with typical dishes like bulgogi, bibimbap, and Korean fried chicken, all well-prepared and full of flavor.

Amazing place with amazing food. 100% recommend the experience.

The concept is great, the service is fast. The food is delicious. We were satisfied.

Had a delicious meal, good and fast service.

The place looked fantastic the food was delicious and the service was fast and everyone was super kind. must go!

Great restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere and good food. Already familiar with Seoul Sista, but we hadn't visited this one yet. Love all of the Korean signage ❤️

It was a very nice experience eating at this restaurant. Food is great. Service also. The only thing I did not like is the time restriction of "All you can eat" option. You can order every 15 minutes for two and a half hours. For someone who wants to enjoy both meal-prep and also get full, it is a bit shorter time span. Especially having in the mind prizes and portion size. Other than that it is perfectly fine.

I think this is a really great concept. (I thought it was a bit pricey considering you have to pay extra for drinks.) But: 1) The food was perfect. 2) The staff was super nice and friendly. 3) The location was great. 4) The food arrived super quickly after ordering. 5) The restaurant is incredibly beautiful. I think there should be more restaurants like this. I'm 100% satisfied! Love,

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Must try for the all you can eat. It’s worth the price easily. Nice service and good atmosphere too

Nice place where you prepare your own food Korean style. The drinks are fruity and very original.

We had all you can eat. About €30 per person. Bulgogi beef and lamb chops were the best. And it was halal. In terms of service, I think the ordering experience can be made better as you have to pick phone up scan codes every time to order. Also they were very slow in bringing order, atleast drinks should be sent fast.

Amazing food! Definitely going back there!

Loved the Korean halal cuisine.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED my experience, went there with my boyfriend and the amount of food we had so extreme but it was soooo delicious. The atmosphere is great, the decor is pretty. Price is fair. Would recommend with both hands !

One of the best places I've been, it has it all, quality, atmosphere, food, service.

As someone who’s very familiar with AYCE kbbq, this is a terrible restaurant for people who are used to a better standard and for people who are experiencing kbbq for the first time. I’ve never seen a restaurant with a 10minute order lockout after each round. Each round is limited to 9 items, with a single drink or side counting as a full item. This would especially be a problem if you have a group larger than 3 or so. Even then, you’re lucky if half of your round gets served to your table with the rest being forgotten and have to be re-ordered, or you get incorrect replacements. The meat/seafood portions were the tiniest I’ve ever seen. No grill change here; you clean it yourself. Many of the soups/sides don’t taste right (e.g. the naengmyun is overpoweringly sour, the yukgaejang is half oil). This is not a restaurant run by Koreans. Overall very disappointed.

Seoul Sista is an excellent Korean BBQ restaurant in Amsterdam. The meat is delicious and there's a wide selection. We've tried several, and they're all truly excellent. The location is very cute and unique, with a pleasant and engaging atmosphere. The service is knowledgeable, polite, and also quick. A truly excellent Korean restaurant in Amsterdam, I absolutely recommend it.

All-you-can-eat concept, with a time slot. You order via the QR code and then get 3 dishes per person per round. The sushi was delicious, unfortunately, no ginger. The meat was very tasty, but I had no idea what it was when it arrived. The young man who brought it didn't know either. The ice cream was also very good. I couldn't order through the system anymore because the time was up. Stairs up to the restaurant, another flight up to the restroom. So not really convenient for people with disabilities. Nice experience, good food, a bit noisy. But still recommended.

We saw this place during the day and it looked great with nice lighting and the idea of cooking your own food was different for us. We booked online which was easy and came back in the evening. It absolutely superb from the service, the environment and the tasty food. We were able to order something like 10 dishes every 15 minutes, it was such a great idea. We just let the kids order and kept on eating which added more fun to the evening. Very good prices and we would highly recommend this place. All you can eat with the added fun of using an app.

Seoul Sista Amsterdam = Korean BBQ heaven! ✨ Seoul Sista is a place that will instantly make you happy. It's on the first floor, so be sure to pop up. The interior is stylish and cozy, and the service deserves a compliment: friendly, fast, and always with a smile. The food was sublime, from the succulent Korean BBQ to the delicious side dishes; everything was fresh and full of flavor. Perfect for a night out with friends or colleagues. Note: the restaurant is on the first floor, so you'll have to walk up a bit. #SeoulSista #KoreanBBQ #AmsterdamFoodie #FoodieAmsterdam #KoreanFood #FoodLovers #BBQExperience #FoodieLife #AmsterdamEats #FoodPorn #Foodstagram #BBQLovers #KoreanCuisine

The food was excellent; they let us in early and served us right away. The price is high, but justified.

Excellent food and very good service. The only downside was that when the downstairs door opened, we felt a cold breeze. You won't always experience this, but it will when the temperature is below zero. But otherwise, it was fine.

Everything was excellent: the food, the location, the service, and the all-you-can-eat price. Highly recommended.

GOOD FOOD FOR A NICE PRICE. COZY ATMOSPHERE

The food was good, but the service was shocking, we ordered drinks, they broke them once and only brought a new one after the 3rd request, they poured our coats twice! slander

We had a very tasty meal thanks to our host Aman!!!

Nice food, and amazing staff 🤩🤩🤩

Good food to eat with your friends

Excellent and the meat is halal 🤍

Update: this manager, John, cancelled my reservation by himself without informing me. I went with my friends and we were asked to leave. We stayed at cold raining winter for half hour and haven’t get refund. John working as manager told me that I am as a guest who have no place to complaint because he is the boss, the owner of this restaurant. I ate there 2 times before. It’s the worse service I have ever met before. It’s raining and I just arrived half hour earlier than appointment time. They rejected me to stay. See the pic, on working time, on the ground they still have garbage

Delicious food and large portions

Cozy restaurant where you have the opportunity to try everything.

A really nice place with super friendly and helpful service. The food is delicious and comes incredibly quickly. I recommend it to everyone.

Nice place, we had a delicious meal

It was more delicious than the chicken I had in Korea.

It was more delicious than the chicken I had in Korea.

Great experience!! The people are so nice, the all-you-can-eat BBQ for €40 is so worth it, with a good atmosphere I really recommend it for those who have never been to this kind of restaurant.

The food was tasty and came quickly! I liked the trendy look of the restaurant! Prices weren’t bad considering it’s close to the city center. Only downside was that the waiter didn’t let us fill up our water bottles. 😅

It was a great experience, the food was delicious and the staff very friendly

Very small portions for the price of "all you can eat". The food was good and we enjoyed our meal but the server forgot to bring half of our order and we had to chase it. Overall a good experience but really overpriced for the amount of food served.

Lovely food, very friendly personel

The choice of meats to barbecue wasn’t a lot unfortunately and there were little to no sauce to order from the menu to dip the meat in. Other dishes such as the teokkeoboky (idk how to spell it srry) were great! Nice environment, fast service, good food.

Had a wonderful meal with my boyfriend and daughter. Delicious food, friendly service in a very nice and interesting street. 😊 Highly recommended.

Great place, almost no service, but the food is excellent quality.

Very nice staff, very tasty food.

Korean food is a really delicious restaurant. I came yesterday, but I came again today, and I'm planning to come tomorrow. Pork belly, soju, budae jjigae, and kimchi fried rice are perfect. I think this house is the best in Amsterdam. You should come too. It's the best

Really highly recommended. It's hard to find Korean food like this in other countries. Please come. Recommended menu: Samgyeopsal, Naengmyeon, Budaejjigae, Dolsot Bibimbap. Ah, tomorrow too. Again. I have to come.

It is one of my fav Korean places in Amsterdam center. Very polite and friendly service. The meal is nice.

A really fun concept. The food was delicious and the quality was good. We had a wonderful evening with over 10 people. Highly recommended!

One of the Best experience I've had in a restaurant. Smoked one with my wife and went to have an amazing dining experience. Try the Korean fried chicken it's 10/10

We recently visited this Korean BBQ restaurant and opted for the à la carte menu. The food was tasty and well-prepared. Portions weren’t very large, but enough to try a variety of dishes. The service was good, friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself looked clean and well kept.

I have been to other korean bbq restaurants and this just wasn’t it. The food was lacking seasoning, a dish we ordered wasn’t served and when we asked about it we got served something else. We had to ask to have the grill changed because the worker did not show any initiative to change the grill, it wasn’t something they do regularly, which is weird because they can’t expect you to keep grilling on the same grill for almost three hours. We also ordered chicken skewers which were RAW, yes pink! They were still pink inside. You would think it could not go wrong with chicken skewers because it’s such a small and thin piece of meat, well it could. When we told a worker about, she did not even apologize nor did we get a second portion of the skewers. The vegetarian loempia’s were probably from a freezer packet as were some of the other dishes. Overal, the food wasn’t that good, the service wasn’t better, would not return.

This is not an authentic Korean restaurant run by Koreans. Although the sign is in Korean, the napkins display a Japanese flag, and it seems the restaurant is operated by Chinese staff. The portions are quite small, and the seasoning tastes a bit off. Among the dishes, the bulgogi was the most acceptable. I strongly advise against ordering the kimchi stew — it’s mostly just broth, and the quantity is barely the size of a small rice bowl.

Please don’t come here it’s scams , no quality in food and taste is horrible. Please spend you money somewhere in MC DONALD is more worth it than here. Food I give one star ⭐️ because there is no option for 0 star ⭐️. This place should ban . only you go there if don’t care about the taste . Good luck

It's my first Korean BBQ so i don't have much to compare this to but...man this wasn't okay. The concept is super cool, the grills look nice, you have your privacy. But then the disappointments quickly start. You don't get information on how to proceed with the meats and they just expect you to know. All of the starters are low quality and stale. The only tasty meat was the beef bulgogi. The rest of the stuff for the grill is just underseasoned and sliced so poorly it falls apart on the grill. One of the soups had these awful pieces of cheap salami in it. Half of the bibimbap's rice was raw. The chicken tempura has huge dough shells and is quite greasy. Overall, the food just wasn't that good. It wasn't super bad, the bulgogi was okay, the ice cream and wakame salad were actually quite nice. But for that price? They should provide more for that price. That's one of the most expensive Asian restaurants, lol. And the cherry on top: my stomach got upset a few hours afterwards. Like, upset upset. Overall it wasn't SUPER bad but i wish i didn't go there.

Food was very good with friendly staff

It was very tasty! An absolute recommendation! We tried everything out. From soup to raw meat, which we grilled ourselves. Or already assembled food. It was simply very tasty. It was really just great and really great value for money. The waiters were also quick and friendly. So nothing to complain about, but a lot to praise

Food is great. Location is awesome. Behaviour of the staff is awesome and friendly. They offered extra ice cream. We spent more time than the booked time.

Unfortunately, I found this really disappointing The quality of the food... The menu And I didn't find the staff inviting or cheerful either. Not worth repeating And while the Rotterdam branch is so good!

Very good BBQ experience & staff members

Always delicious, good combination of meat and other dishes. The fish is really good and soft, loved the sweet potato noodles as well. We always end up spending around 90€ (for two people) for the all you can eat food and one drink each.

One of my fav korean restaurants in Amsterdam

Cool adress with a lot of halal options.

Interesting experience if you’ve never been a similar place. Kind and smiling staff, more than enough options to choose. I wish there was an option for more icecream though.

Expensive for small eaters (40th per person for all you can eat) but great experience

Top night out at Seoul Sista had. Food delicious and quick. Soju and Sojum bomb was fun. Quirina was great during the whole evening. Thank you!

Terrible! Second Korean BBQ experience and it's a success. Everything was good, there was a lot of choice. If there really needs to be a negative point, the desserts. There's only ice. But honestly I ate too much before

Came here a while ago to have KBBQ with a friend and we left underwhelmed and actually got sick a few hours after our visit here. We ordered several meats for the bbq under which bulgogi beef and Ka Kalbi. Besides the bbq we ordered: a spicy stew, side of rice, beef gimbap and another small dish. We are aware that we cannot compare it to an Original Korean or even Japanese bbq, but our experience was quite below par. The meat was of poor quality and had a "weird" colour to it, which probably should have been our clue to maybe not eat it. The texture of the meat was also very different to any Korean BBQ we have ever had. The stew wasn't really a stew, it was a watery spicy soup with chaphae in it? There was a lack of flavour and a lack of proper ingredients used. The seating came with 2 side dishes: Kimchi and pickled spiced cucumber. Both of those side dishes were of average quality and nothing worth mentioning to be honest. Normally there should be a radish side of any kind, yet not at SEOUL SISTA. The side of rice we ordered was very sticky and not smooth-, soft or nicely steamed at all. It looked and tasted more like cheap style sushi rice than proper steamed rice. On top of this, this restaurant doesn't have the proper utensils for an original KBBQ and are using crafting scissors to cut meats with.. If we both hadn't gotten sick from our experience here it might have gotten two stars. But for the price you are paying, the quality you are getting and the lack of authenticity, they are getting a one. Would not recommend going here.

Special thanks to Muhammed for the good service and the food was delicious.

I really like the dining concept here. At your table, there is a QR code that each person scans. Then amongst the group, you can pride up to 12 items. You have to communicate with your group and either designate someone to place all of the orders or tell everyone to not to confirm the order until after the last person has added to the cart. Once the order is confirmed, you have to wait 10 minutes before you can place the next order. It’s all you can eat with a set price per person excluding the drinks and on certain days of the week, the price is different. I enjoyed my food very much and was able to try out a variety of dishes since it was a shared experience. There is a hot pot at each table to cook your food on. You can also request to change the grill plate if it starts to get charred. There are some dishes already prepared under the Korean snacks. I highly recommend the honey chicken and seafood pancake. They also have a variety of soups. I had the miso soup and can recommend that. The menu is Korean influenced meaning there are dishes on there that are definitely not typical Korean I.e. lumpia. Also, they don’t serve garlic and chili oil and it’s not on the menu to order. Nonetheless, I had no complaints regarding the food or service. We were a rather large group (around 30ppl with 4-5 ppl per table) and the service was pretty fast and efficient! They have soju as well. I tried both the watermelon and grape flavor but I preferred the grape.

Amazing food and great atmosphere! But please place more napkins on the table beforehand 🙏

Its good food i like the idea how to make your food

Mediocre at best, looks like they've bought a lot of positive reviews. Lived in Amsterdam 4 years. Starters, fish courses - all bad and bland. Meat courses - just fine. Very loud inside, sterile overhead lighting upstairs feels like you're in a hospital or school. I was full at the end of the meal, but I wasn't wow'd by anything. For Korean food in Amsterdam I would try The BAB, Gangnam chicken or SOJU bar.

Booked a table efficiently online and the kind staff even helped rebook for earlier time. Sadly the only thing nice about the restaurant was the staff and the cute atmosphere. Food: the bulgogi, side dishes and pork belly are pretty disappointing. Runny, fatty meats. The sirloin was the only acceptable and good meat. Kimchi is not authentic and is watery just like the ssamjang. Cucumber kimchi was delicious though. System: Pretty smart all you can eat menu through QR codes on the table. You get to order 6 dishes every 10 min. Staff kindly explained. Utensils and equipment made of wood makes it harder to cook the food. Inefficient. Price: Sadly not worth the price. 40 euros for me to eat the same meat and some side dishes. drinks and desserts aren’t included either. Nice staff but disappointing food. Left pretty bummed.

Seoul SISTA is a fantastic spot for Korean food lovers! The food and service were both excellent. The host was friendly and took the time to explain everything on the menu, which made the experience even better. I ordered chapchae, tteokbokki, and enjoyed tons of banchan, all of which were delicious. The cucumber banchan, in particular, was a standout—so refreshing and flavorful! The price was great too—less than 40 euros, and you can pick exactly what you want from the menu. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors with great service, Seoul SISTA is definitely worth visiting. I’ll be back for sure!

Very tasty food, quite busy, the ambience is interesting. I will definitely go again next time I visit Amsterdam.

Very fresh and tender meat. Good service and competitive prices. A tip is to try a bottle of rice water.

Disappointing service at Seoul Sista We were looking forward to a fun evening at Seoul Sista, and that was exactly what it was on Christmas Eve. Once we started distributing the tags, we discovered that we paid full price for 2 children (EVEN FOR A 1-year-old BABY). Not only was this incorrect, but when we contacted to discuss this, the manager was downright unprofessional (Mr. Wong). Instead of addressing the problem calmly, he started yelling on the phone. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable. We expected a reasonable conversation and instead we were treated poorly. For a restaurant that positions itself premium, we expected better service. This was our first and last time at Seoul Sista. I would advise everyone to think carefully before going here. And look carefully at the receipt!!!

There are plenty of other places worth your money and time in Amsterdam taste and service wise.

Meat marinades are awesome ! Great location to catch up with friends over food! Loved the interactive nature of us cooking for ourselves.

Great food and lovely atmosphere, very quick service at bringing the food/drink.

Fun concept for a dinner out with friends! The grill is in the middle of the table, and you can order raw meat to cook as you please. Korean dishes are tasty but not the best I’ve had in Amsterdam. The quality of the meat is also not amazing but it’s “all you can eat” quality, which is fair for the price you pay. Waiters could be a bit nicer :)

If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, this is the place to be. Highly recommend this place

Meats looked and tasted old and low quality, seasonings were not good, many of the meats I had to spit out after cooking, cocktails were not good and everything all together was a terrible value Nice atmosphere, fast service, website for ordering was excellent, seafood tofu soup was good However, all together, would not eat here again even if I was paid to

A really great experience! Really delicious food, nice industrial decor but still atmospheric. In short, highly recommended!

Ate here yesterday and we had a good meal. The staff was very nice and fast — and the ambience is also very good. I think we were close to the kitchen, so everything came to the table very quickly. The meat is well seasoned, and the mocktails are tasty too! I have previously been to the restaurant in Rotterdam twice, and have nothing negative to say about it. I can only think of something positive.

Amazing, you scan a code and order your raw meats and veggies for 1 hour for $30 each. Absolutely delicious, incredible variety!
