“ Higher price tag but the portions are generous. Galbijjim was good, pork bone soup was good. Kimchi can use some work... feels like from Trader Joe's or something lol. Owner was really responsive and wish them good luck! ”
“ Delight in this cozy Korean restaurant on a chilly winter night--ideal for a Friday hangout with a small group of friends. We indulged in seafood bibimbap in a stone pot with sizzling cheese, pork bone pot, galbi steak, fish on a sizzling platter, and chive and shrimp pancake. So much delectable food, perfect for sharing! Service can be more attentive. ”
“ I'm so glad this restaurant randomly popped up on my explore page one day so I could give a try. When you get there, keep in mind that the sign outside the restaurant says JeonJu rather than Lucky Soul Diner. Not sure why, but hopefully that helps! JeonJu is small, but a cozy and comforting restaurant. It looks simple inside but the food is so flavorful and complex. They also have a TV inside that was playing clips of Vietnamese food. We ordered the iron plate seafood pancake and seafood stone pot bibimbap and neither were disappoints. They both came out super hot, especially the bibimbap which was sizzling right up until the end of our meal. The server melted the cheese on top of it at our table so points for showmanship! Both dishes were so tasty and delicious, and the portions were pretty big! Between me and my fiance, we weren't able to finish just the two. The stone pot does get a little too hot though because the rice at the bottom of the stone pot gets hard and difficult to eat, but most of the rice stays soft. I love that the stone pot can keep our meal warm the entire time. ”
“ Solid Korean spot! Got confused when I originally got to the store as the sign says jeonju but the place goes by both names! I went on a weekday and they had a special where if you spend over $100 you get a free item! I ordered the gabijjim, pork backbone stew, and seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was crispy and delicious with a good ratio of seafood inside. Galbijjim was flavorful and meat was super tender and soft! Compared to some other places I been too, for the price point it was very satisfying. Pork backbone stew was warm and inviting. Overall would come back here again to try more things! ”
“ Lucky Soul Diner--also known as Jeonju, which admittedly adds a bit of confusion--is a solid choice for Korean comfort food. I tried the galbijjim, and it was a standout. Tender, flavorful, and comparable to the popular Daeho, but at a much more affordable price point, making it a great value. The seafood pancake, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. It was slightly tough and didn't have as much seafood as I'd hoped, which left it feeling a little underwhelming. That said, the menu offers plenty of other options, and the overall experience was still enjoyable. Lucky Soul Diner is definitely a spot I'd return to, especially to explore more of their dishes. If you're craving galbijjim without the Daeho price tag, this place is worth checking out. ”
