be•se•to (Korean Seoul Restaurant)

Authentic Korean food! The spicy seafood noodle soup was delicious. The service is quick and I loved the busy informal atmosphere. A great place to eat yummy Korean food and chit chat with your family and friends.

Love the place and the many options you have, also huge portions so it doesn't disappoint Update 12.2.2024. We went to book kyoung, the korean chinese, and it's soooo good. Great portions. Best janjan myen with fried pork.

This place is a gem to try Korean foods. I would say, it is authentic K-style food. We had Koreanchinese food, Jjampong and Tangsuyook, and they were sooooo good. You don't have to pay tip, self-service, and there are plenty of seats and tables. It's right next to Hmart, so you can stop by for groceries before or after eating. Price is also reasonable. I would say it's cheap.

We used to dine-in but switched to take-out nowadays for our convenience and seeing it can get busy sometimes. We order and pay, shop at Hmart next door, then come to pick up our food to enjoy. The food used to suit our tastes but it's become a little more bland so took one star off, but it's very authentic Korean-style food. They also offer a lot of Korean-Chinese food so a lot of food selections/menu offered for everyone's taste. The portion-size is also fair for the prices, but I definitely did notice a price increase for each item as we often go there. This spot, along with the food place inside Hmart, is still our usual take-out for Korean food. I think we will still continue unless the prices become exorbitant and can't compete with other options/places. Until then, highly recommend if you want great tasting, affordable Korean food.

Located inside the Be-Se-To food court, That Old Country Home is a hidden gem for traditional Korean comfort food that’s hard to find in the Baltimore area. They’re one of the only spots around serving jokbal (braised pig trotters) and soondae (Korean blood sausage), making it a must visit for anyone looking for OG Korean food. The jokbal is only available on weekends, and it’s worth planning your visit around it. I ordered a small portion, which was the perfect size for one person. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The soondae was also excellent. Savory, well-textured, and served with the traditional dipping salt that enhanced each bite with glorious MSG umami. If you’re an adventurous eater looking for authentic Korean dishes beyond the usual BBQ staples, That Old Country Home is well worth trying.

I’ve come here gradually more and more over time and I love it! Such authentic Korean cuisine that doesn’t disappoint in my opinion! My all time favorite would be the rose tteokboki! The flavor is perfect for anyone who has a low spice tolerance but careful with the temperature! I love all the vegetables and bacon and sausages they also add into the dish, and just how chewy the rice cakes are! But their other tteokboki options are also just as amazing! There’s so many options inside and just so many different dishes to try! The inside is always very clean~ I’ve never had an issue with any messy tables or messy anything there. Prices are pretty okay and wait times, depending on business, are reasonable! To-go containers and boxes do cost money though. I believe $0.25-$0.50? (I could be wrong but I remember it’s less than a dollar for a single one, though it also depends on size). Can’t wait to try more! Also there is an Hmart right next door, there’s a big parking lot so I’ve never had any issues parking! Handicap friendly inside~ Weekends are quite busy! Also closing time may be at 9pm, but some of the individual food shops inside close earlier than 9pm. For ordering tteokboki, from my experience, I think you get more quantity wise when you order to eat there than ordering to-go.

This was my second time visiting the place, which is more like a food court offering a variety of Korean dishes at affordable prices. Don’t expect great service — think of it as a Korean fast food experience. I ordered jajangmyeon, which was delicious and came in a generous portion. However, they went heavy on the onions and I barely saw any other ingredients, possibly due to cost-cutting. While the taste was good, the overall quality wasn’t impressive. On the lower floor, they also have a small market selling Korean products — definitely worth checking out. Overall, I’d recommend it for the value. Average rating.
