Memphis Seoul debuted on Wednesday here at 123 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.
The quick-serve establishment describes it as "Southern cookin' with a Korean kick!" ... offering the comfort food of the South with the spices and sauces familiar to Korean food. So expect items like ramen mac n' cheese, bulgogi meatloaf and Korean cornbread. Find the menu here.
Founder Bart Hubbuch opened the first Memphis Seoul in Crown Heights.
Per Grub Street: "Originally from Dallas, Hubbuch was a career sportswriter who’d spent 27 in the business before getting fired from the New York Post for a tweet about Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election."
Grub Street also states that "Hubbuch had always been a home cook... and had long been interested in running his own business."
Current hours:
Monday-Thursday: 5-9 p.m., with a 10 p.m. close on Friday... and on Saturday-Sunday: noon-9 p.m.

Looking forward to trying it out!
Hi, guys! I’m Memphis Seoul’s owner, and thank you for the shoutout.
One small thing — our actual hours at least starting out are:
Mon-Thu: 5 pm - 10 pm
Fri: 4 pm - 10 pm
Sat: Noon - 10 pm
Sun: Noon - 9 pm
We are considering adding weekday daytime hours in early 2024.
I share some of the owner's views, on politics and Korean food.
Tried their signature meatloaf rice bowl last night and it was pretty good. Looking forward to going back for some fried chicken. The spicy pickles are excellent.
