You’ll Never Forget The Incredible Fried Chicken At This Unassuming Maryland Restaurant

Ellicott City, Maryland has become the home of many incredible restaurants. In fact, an entire portion of Route 40 running through Ellicott City has been officially designated as “Korean Way” in honor of the multitude of wonderful Korean food offerings that have cropped up in the area in recent years. Although the sheer quantity of options may seem overwhelming, I can assure you that you’ll never forget the fried chicken served up by our very own Seoul Pub, just a short turn off the main highway.

“Korean Way” is a five-mile stretch of Route 40 running through Ellicott City. While there are over 150 Korean-owned businesses and restaurants speckling this area, a quick turn off the beaten path will lead you straight to fried chicken heaven.

Seoul Pub’s sign indicates the simple brilliance of its menu - if you’re looking for sushi, chicken, and beer, this is the spot to grab it.

The dining room is close and sparsely furnished. It’s a great place to while away an evening chatting and partaking of the good food and the soju.

The masterpiece of the menu is undoubtedly the Ban Ban Chicken, served with soy garlic sauce, classic Korean BBQ, or the highly recommended combination of both. It’s enough food for a whole party, but it’s so good you might be tempted to devour the whole thing yourself!

In addition to some of the best fried chicken in the state, Seoul Pub is home to a fantastic sushi bar.

Or, for those cooler, darker nights, consider trying the Korean classic Budae Jjigae - Army Stew. It’s a sizzling hot pot full of ham, sausage, Spam, baked beans, veggies - nearly anything you could want, it’s there absorbing the flavor of a bubbling kimchi broth.

There’s nothing quite like a meal of Korean fried chicken, and the Ban Ban platter served up by Seoul Pub is sure to make its mark on your memory. With so many excellent Korean food options to be had in Maryland, why not share some of your favorites?
