A Highly Anticipated Comeback

After a two-year hiatus, Seoul House is officially reopening in Jerusalem, bringing back its signature kosher Korean cuisine to the city’s vibrant dining scene. Known for its creative approach to traditional Korean dishes, Seoul House has built a reputation for delivering bold flavors and an immersive culinary experience. Its return marks one of the most anticipated reopenings in the local kosher restaurant world.

Reintroducing Kosher Korean Cuisine

Seoul House offers a unique opportunity for diners to enjoy authentic Korean dishes, carefully adapted to meet kosher standards without compromising on taste. From sizzling barbecue-style meats and hearty stews to flavorful banchan (assorted Korean side dishes), the restaurant is set to revive its menu with the favorites that loyal customers have missed, alongside new and innovative offerings.

Menu Highlights

The newly released menu features an exciting variety of Korean classics alongside vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free-friendly options. Guests can enjoy dishes like Japchae, a popular Korean glass noodle stir-fry with sesame oil and vegetables, or Bibimbap, a traditional rice bowl topped with vegetables, fried egg, and gochujang sauce.

For sushi lovers, Kimbap offers a Korean twist with sesame-seasoned rice, cucumber, carrot, spinach, and pickled radish wrapped in seaweed. Those craving bold flavors will appreciate Spicy Tteokbokki, chewy Korean rice cakes served in a spicy KOKO gochujang sauce, as well as a sweeter variation, Sweet Tteokbokki, made with date syrup and soy sauce.

Protein-rich options include Tofu Jorim, tofu marinated in house-made sauce with stir-fried mushrooms and vegetables, and Grilled Salmon, served on a bed of fresh greens with steamed rice. For something lighter, the Miso Soup offers a comforting combination of doenjang miso, tofu, zucchini, and green onions, while SeJeongGwa, a Korean iced tea with ginger and cinnamon, makes for a refreshing finish.

Banchan (Side Dishes)

True to Korean dining culture, Seoul House also offers a range of banchan to complement every meal. Options include Refreshing Seaweed Salad, Seasoned Zucchini, Seasoned Bean Sprouts, and Kimchi, each carefully prepared to highlight traditional flavors and textures. With their variety and balance, these sides create an authentic Korean dining experience rarely found in kosher restaurants.
